Chapter 384: Uncle Wei Shows Mercy
"Why do I feel like we’re on a winning streak?"
Su Jinxiao looked at the fully planted farm and exclaimed in surprise.
Jinshu also nodded. He had prepared himself for various hardships, but everything was effortlessly resolved as soon as Youzi stepped up!
Even the production crew was equally amazed.
Compared to the other teams, everything here was going too smoothly!
No challenge at all!
Initially, they invited Youzi to join the show because she was currently the hottest agricultural product influencer. Plus, there was the collaboration with the Song Family they wanted to secure for potential advertising partnerships.
At first, the Song Family only invested in some low-key embedded ads, which the crew was casual about. After all, any form of cooperation with the Song Family would bring great benefits!
They actually didn’t have high expectations for Youzi, mainly because the two circles were quite different.
The live streaming world and the entertainment industry are not really comparable.
This time, with an international film emperor and empress supporting the show, a small influencer was just there to make up the numbers.
However, once the live broadcast started and interest kept rising, the director realized that Youzi attracted attention easily.
He didn’t stop it, thinking that any publicity is good publicity, as long as it didn’t go overboard.
Then later, the Song Family invested an additional 10 million and supplied the farm with their company’s smart new products.
He realized that Youzi was the biggest "human bug" of this live stream!
A whiz at reclaiming wasteland, a pro at setting up stalls, a natural for planting vegetables, and even adept at raising livestock!
[Look quickly, Uncle Wei is coming!]
[What does the old man have in his hand—damn, a hoe! Is he here to chase people away again?]
[Ah! Calm down, Uncle, don’t hurt my husband!]
...
"Director, what’s Uncle going to do? Will there be any danger?"
The assistant, seeing the live stream on the phone, quickly ran over in fright.
If anyone got hurt, he couldn’t be responsible for that!
The chief director frowned. Back when they picked this farm, the whole team opposed it, but he insisted. If anything went wrong, he could lose his job!
"Make sure the staff stays alert! Absolutely no injuries allowed!"
He had just been thinking of giving them something to do, adding some difficulty, and here it was.
The farm owner is the real boss of this place!
Just don’t let there be any injuries!
Thinking of this, he felt both nervous and challenged.
How would they handle this crisis?
[If this old man dares to hurt my husband, I’ll! I’ll blackmail their farm!]
[And it’s all because of Youzi. She lied to the old man earlier! As he left, I saw him with a dark face!]
[So annoying, she should just do her job and stop talking so much!]
[Knowing the old man doesn’t like them messing with his farm, yet she still lied! Can’t believe it!]
[The old man only has a hoe with him, do you all need to be so nervous? Maybe he’s coming over to help out?]
[The person upstairs is definitely Youzi’s brainwashed fan!]
[Wait, what’s happening?]
"Grandpa Wei, you are..."
Uncle Wei walked over with the hoe aggressively, and Su Jinxiao’s first reaction was to dodge.
After all, during their first meeting, he almost got hit by the old man!
This was almost a conditioned response; he instinctively chose Jinshu.
[Su Shen, can you have some courage!]
[Hmm... You still have to hide behind your husband at critical times!]
[Uncle, please take it easy. Su Shen is so cute! If you want to pick a fight, go to Youzi!]
Even the show’s staff got nervous. They all received notifications that if there was any physical conflict, they had to do everything they could to protect Su Jinxiao and Jinshu!
Uncle Wei glanced at Su Jinxiao with a cold look, then looked at Jinshu in front of him with disdain.
Both glances left everyone puzzled.
[What does the old man mean by that?]
[Disdain?]
[I don’t know, old man... Take it easy!]
"For you."
Everyone: ???
[???]
Uncle Wei bypassed the two of them, shoving the hoe into Youzi’s hand.
"It’s in the way at home! Take it, or just throw it away if you don’t want it!"
Seeing Chi Youyou looking at the hoe without speaking, he frowned and added another sentence.
Everyone again: ???
[What’s going on?]
[Why do I feel like the old man is being sarcastic?]
[I’m confused, can someone explain?]
"Thank you, Grandpa Wei!"
Youzi didn’t know what others thought, but when she picked up the hoe, she suddenly realized it was smaller and less cumbersome than other hoes, making it more suitable for women.
[Is Youzi saying thank you out of politeness?]
[Maybe she’s just saying it because they’re on camera!]
[I think so too. That old man’s temper isn’t good. Even when he gives something, it’s awkward!]
"No need to thank me! I’m telling you, just because I agreed to let you stay due to my wife’s insistence, don’t think you can do whatever you please! If I catch you using my farm only for fame and traffic, I’ll deal with you seriously!"
"Hmph!"
Uncle Wei felt a bit guilty under Chi Youyou’s speaking eyes, immediately placed his hands behind his back, and left with a cold snort, leaving behind a group of confused people and Youzi preparing to try out the hoe.
"Is everything okay?"
Su Jinxiao still felt uneasy and came over, "There’s no problem with this hoe, right..."
"No problem at all, the hoe is very light, seems custom-made, perfect for women. You should try it; it could come in handy later."
"Really?"
He found it hard to believe, but after taking the hoe, his expression instantly changed, "It really is much lighter than the others, and it’s quite handy!"
[Can’t bear to watch...]
[Su Shen, can you control yourself in front of the camera, Youzi said it’s a hoe for women!]
[Why do I feel like Su Shen is particularly good to Youzi, was he about to rush out to protect her earlier?]
[But seriously, is it true? It seems like Youzi gave herself an excuse; is there really a difference between hoes?]
[Lies, Uncle Wei hates her, would he really give her a useful hoe?]
"Youbao, are you all set? We can eat soon."
Just then, Grandma Wei came over. Seeing the hoe in Chi Youyou’s hand, she was a bit taken aback, "This..."
"Grandma Wei, Grandpa Wei just gave this to Youzi, is there any problem with the hoe?"
Jinshu was also curious, especially after noticing Grandma Wei’s expression and couldn’t help but ask.
"Did my old man really bring this over?"
[Why does it feel like there’s an issue?]
[I think so too, something feels off about this...]
[It’s just a hoe, what’s the big deal?]
...
As everyone remained puzzled, Grandma Wei’s quivering voice rang from the screen:
"This... This is a hoe that the old man made by hand for his daughter back then..."
