Chapter 49: 049 Song Xiaoyu’s Complex Family

Yan Yueqing looked towards the direction indicated by the system, her gaze meeting the timid and delicate eyes of the little girl.

"Auntie, try my family’s persimmons, they’re really sweet." She was squatting in front of the vegetable stall, her impoverished little hands holding up a ruddy tomato. The stark contrast made Yan Yueqing very certain—the little girl’s family circumstances must be poor!

For such a child, helping in any way possible was the right thing to do, not to mention the special mission at hand.

She didn’t hesitate, "Confirm binding."

Song Xiaoyu?

Yan Yueqing was stunned; she knew this person! In the book, Qin Youran became famous and controversial because of Song Xiaoyu, ultimately becoming an internet sensation.

Calculating the timing... It was indeed about the fifth season of the show.

Qin Youran, with Tiantian in tow, approached with a gentle smile, "Little sister, did you grow these tomatoes yourself? They look really tasty! Does Tiantian like eating them? Shall we make some tomato and carp soup? Would that be good?"

Tiantian nodded her head.

Traveling with the two of them was the well-known gourmet vlogger Xu Li.

In the previous segment, she had been engrossed in fishing, seldom appearing in front of the camera.

Now, seeing fresh ingredients, Xu Li couldn’t resist stepping forward, picking up a tomato and turning towards the camera: "Babies, look, this is the sand-filled tomato I mentioned before! Most of the tomatoes on the market these days are ripened artificially, and it’s rare to see ones that have ripened naturally. It’s a pity you can’t smell it, but as soon as I came here, I was captivated by its rich aroma!"

[Hahaha Xu Li is so cute, treating this place like her own live broadcast room!]

[Why didn’t I notice her when she was fishing just now? Was she too into the fishing?]

[Double entendre, deducting points!]

[Although this tomato is small in size, it really tastes great! Rural kids should understand, picking one ripe from the field, eating it while walking on the ridges, sour and sweet and grainy, wow~~~~ that’s my lost childhood.]

[City kids are envious and curious about what exactly it tastes like?]

[Anyway, it’s not the kind they sell in supermarkets, which looks nice but tastes bland and nothing like tomato! This variety, once ripe, smells amazing.]

Xu Li seemed to have returned to home turf: "Tonight, I’m planning to use these tomatoes to make a delicious sweet and sour carp soup for everyone, perfect for the summer when you don’t have an appetite!"

After speaking, she squatted down to talk to Song Xiaoyu at eye level, "Little sister, how much is the tomato per pound?"

Facing the camera, Song Xiaoyu was a bit shy, "Pretty auntie, my family’s persimmons are thirty cents a pound."

"Thirty cents?"

Xu Li was shocked, was the market price this low on this side?

Thinking she was complaining about the price, Song Xiaoyu quickly waved her hands, "They’re persimmons from our own family’s planting. If auntie thinks they’re expensive, we can... we can talk some more..."

"That’s not it." Qin Youran stepped forward to explain, "Aunt Xu thinks you’re selling them too cheaply, worried that you’ll be at a loss."

Song Xiaoyu finally heaved a sigh of relief, her face flushed, "That’s the price everyone here goes by..."

"I’ll buy a pound first." Xu Li intended to buy all the tomatoes, but just happened to see Yan Yueqing’s group heading this way, guessing that they wanted to purchase some.

Tang Tang ran ahead, "Wow, the tomatoes Sister planted are so red and fragrant!" She turned her head and asked, "Sister Yueqing, can we eat these for dinner?"

"Sure." Yan Yueqing didn’t ask about the price, "Little sister, weigh me two pounds."

Surrounded by so many people for the first time, Song Xiaoyu’s face blazed red.

It felt like she had entered the Immortal Realm while selling the persimmons; there were beautiful aunts, beautiful little sisters, and two brothers who looked cold but even more beautiful...

Her hands, weighing the persimmons, trembled slightly.

Packing up the persimmons for the customers, Song Xiaoyu handed them over shyly.

Those thin, withered wrists unconsciously furrowed Yan Wang’s brows.

Jun Yan seemed to be looking straight ahead, but suddenly turned around and said with pinpoint accuracy as if he read his brother’s mind, "What’s the matter? Are you unhappy? Is it because you think the little sister is too skinny like you?"

Yan Wang cast his lashes aside, not wanting to deal with him at all.

Qin Youran was very dissatisfied that Yan Yueqing was everywhere but managed to smile very tenderly in front of the cameras.

She squatted down, facing Song Xiaoyu, and began the subplot from a previous life.

"Little sister, what’s your name?"

"Beautiful Auntie, my name is Song Xiaoyu."

"Xiaoyu? What a nice name~ My cousin is also called Xiaoyu, we must be fated."

"Really?" Song Xiaoyu’s eyes sparkled.

Qin Youran noticed her hands, yellowed and blackened from long-term hard work, "Xiaoyu is so young yet so sensible, taking on family pressure."

Song Xiaoyu said shyly, "Thank you, Auntie."

"Auntie has a favor to ask of you!" Qin Youran stated her purpose, "The three of us came to Neijia Town for a show, and we’re now looking for a place to stay. I wonder which family might have vacant rooms. Xiaoyu is a local, you must know better than us, right? Don’t worry, we will pay."

They will pay? Upon hearing this, Song Xiaoyu perked up, "Uncle Zhu, the village chief, and Grandma Wang on the second street, both have large houses. Their sons and daughters have gone out to work, and there should be no one living there! And also..."

She said somewhat shyly and hesitantly, "I... my family also has two vacant rooms... they’re just a bit small... I don’t know if the Aunts would be comfortable... but of course, I clean every day, it’s very neat inside!"

Desperately needing money at home, Song Xiaoyu didn’t want to miss any opportunity to earn some.

Qin Youran got exactly what she was waiting for, "Great, can you take me to see your place? I’ll buy all these tomatoes!"

Song Xiaoyu immediately became excited as if it meant everything to her, nearly bowing and scraping, "I, I, I... can take you Aunts there right now!"

Yan Yueqing didn’t miss the calculation in the depths of Qin Youran’s eyes.

Strange, did she somehow know she would encounter Xiaoyu?

In the book, Song Xiaoyu was a very pitiful child.

In her family of three siblings, her elder sister Song Xiaohua was suffering from leukemia, and her younger brother Song Xiaoye was just one year old. Caught in the middle, the second child’s position was destined to receive very little affection.

To treat Song Xiaohua, everyone in the family underwent HLA matching, and only Song Xiaoyu was a match.

Her parents showered Xiaoyu with affection for a while, but the enormous medical costs were suffocating the family. Besides taking care of her elder sister and younger brother, and managing the farm and home, Song Xiaoyu frequently had to endure her parents’ outbursts over medical bills.

Just before the surgery, she suddenly changed her mind and refused to donate.

The family was turned upside down with arguments!

Qin Youran appeared at the right moment, successfully resolved the family conflict and persuaded Xiaoyu to agree to the surgery.
