Hera wasn’t alone in her avid attentiveness to the villagers’ farming insights. A multitude of viewers tuned into the live stream, all brimming with eagerness for agricultural knowledge. Among them were students of agriculture and enthusiasts with aspirations of cultivating their own backyard farms.
Who could resist tuning in to absorb such valuable and relatable information, accessible to nearly everyone? The villagers’ straightforward communication, devoid of complex terminology, makes their insights easily understandable and relatable, appealing even to children.
While some may perceive it as dull, those who can comprehend and relate to the content remain captivated by Hera’s livestream, drawing even more viewers. The audience spans across generations, from young adults in their 20s to elderly individuals with ample free time on their hands.
The fun aspect of the situation is that, due to their fondness for Hera, many villagers expressed their desire to invite her to lunch at their homes once more. However, Hera graciously declined their invitations, explaining that she had already prepared lunch for herself and her team.
However, Bry, the youngest member of the village, harbored grudges and was quick to act on them. His dissatisfaction stemmed from various grievances against the other participants, compounded by their reluctance to let Hera spend time with the villagers. Despite understanding Hera’s pretext of bringing lunch for herself and her team, Bry knew the true reason why Hera avoids going on lunch with them now lay in the behavior of those individuals.
He was young but he was not stupid, so he knew.
He dramatically shared this information with the villagers as they busied themselves with harvesting. Each of them wearing a deep frown on their brows as they heard Bry’s narration. Naturally, the villagers were impressed by Hera’s well-mannered and respectful demeanor. Her down-to-earth attitude and treated them as equal gave her a plus points.
Their hearts warmed to Hera, embracing her as if she were the village’s own daughter. They couldn’t help but feel that restricting Hera’s interactions unfairly disadvantaged them, yet they found themselves powerless to change the situation, left with a sense of dissatisfaction.
In response to the unfair limitations imposed on Hera, Zen, and Xavier, the villagers showered them with even greater kindness, offering light snacks in place of meals. While this gesture was appreciated by Hera’s team, it only fueled resentment among the other participants who perceived it as preferential treatment. As the villagers’ generosity towards Hera’s team increased, the behavior of the other participants soured, resorting to gossip and attempts to undermine them behind their backs.
