Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Aided Report, His Account Was Gone!

Because of Fang Yuliang’s departure, the villagers were happy once again in the yard.

Just now, Fang Yuliang was so cold that no one dared to speak. Now that he’s gone, the air around loosened up.

After the villagers finished eating, they eagerly scrambled to clean up the dishes and wash the pots.

Ji Xizhi couldn’t squeeze in to help, so she simply decided to first distribute the 600 work points she just tricked into her hands to the guests.

The 600 work points were solely tricked by Ji Xizhi herself, so when she brought up the distribution.

Fang Zhuyue hurriedly reminded, "Then let’s first renew Sister Xi Zhi’s room! The rest we can divide!"

Qin Yutian also agreed and echoed.

Even Zhu Xiu’an, who was not particularly clever, nodded, "Pay your room fee first."

Ji Xizhi didn’t haggle about it, and directly gave 280 work points to Director Wang to renew the room.

The rest was split among the six of them.

Zhong Yulu was in a bad mood and seeing Ji Xizhi use 280 work points to rent herself a good room.

Her discontent grew even stronger.

Everyone contributed work points for the villagers’ feast, so these 600 work points should have been shared by everyone. What right did Ji Xizhi have to take away 280 work points all by herself!

The more Zhong Yulu thought about it, the more wronged she felt. In the end, unable to control her emotions, she excused herself and went back to Aunt Song’s house.

Ji Fengyuan, seeing this, stepped forward and followed her to escort Zhong Yulu back.

Fang Zhuyue and Zhu Xiu’an got a normal house tonight, so they didn’t delay any longer and rushed to see their new home.

The live broadcast cameras scattered and withdrew, the yard gradually quieted down, and the villagers began taking their children home.

Before leaving, a few strong middle-aged men noticed some bags of corn in the corner of the yard and the smiles on their faces revealed traces of worry.

"Village chief, the harvest is so bad again this year, I don’t know what to do, how about we still have some strength, go out and find some odd jobs!"

The village chief sighed too, "If you leave, who will take care of the children? We all have old and young at home, your mom is seventy or eighty, we can’t leave her home alone? This year, we’ve managed, the program crew filmed in our village and gave us quite some money. When the time comes, we can share it and manage New Year too."

The villagers:

"But such things don’t happen every year, what’s going to happen next year? This year’s rice harvest is just enough for our family of five, who knows what the situation will be next year!"

"Yeah, if it doesn’t work out, let’s ask Zhizhi the eldest girl, they are from the city, maybe she can figure out what’s wrong with our corn!"

"No way, what would a young lady know about these things? I saw she was exhausted today, how can we trouble her further! She came to our village and gave money, it’s not right to bother her!"

"Exactly, I even asked old Qian from the next village to take a look, he said it’s not a disease, just that the fertilizer wasn’t applied properly. We’ve been using that fertilizer every year! Alas, it seems the heavens are against our village!"

"Isn’t that the truth!"

Several of the strong men in the village began sighing long and deeply.

Ji Xizhi had packaged the candied chestnuts made in the afternoon from the kitchen, preparing to bring them out and give them to the children of each family.

Coming out, she inadvertently overheard the villagers’ conversation.

Ji Xizhi slightly furrowed her brow. Actually, when cutting down the corn stalks this afternoon, she also sensed something was off.

Such a large plot of land, the corn yield didn’t match at all, even though she didn’t understand much about growing crops, she could see many corn stalks didn’t even have a single normally sized ear of corn, which was very odd.

But she didn’t rashly ask the villagers, just kept it in mind.

Ji Xizhi stood not far away, waited for the villagers to finish deliberating and prepare to leave, then walked over quickly.

She handed out the candied chestnuts she was carrying to everyone.

After all the villagers left, Ji Xizhi was about to go upstairs.

Turning around, she saw Qin Yutian waiting in the living room.

Qin Yutian got hurt today, and with special permission from the program group, he was staying in the low house in the village chief’s backyard so the program’s accompanying doctor could easily help with care and changing dressings.

Today, after observing Ji Xizhi complete a series of tasks, Qin Yutian was extremely impressed with Ji Xizhi. He remembered the contract he signed with Ji Xizhi the previous night, and, limping, walked over to Ji Xizhi.

He handed the work points ticket he just received to Ji Xizhi, awkwardly saying, "Sister Xi Zhi, now that my foot is injured, completing the program’s tasks will be tough for me. So, I’ll just give you these work points now."

[Ah, ah, ah, brother is really so kind, knowing he’s injured and not wanting to drag Ji Xizhi down, he’s so considerate!]

[I feel so sorry, hope brother recovers quickly oh!]

[Can Ji Xizhi not take brother’s work points ticket, if she does, what will brother do tomorrow, he can’t work, and no work points, can he still eat?]

[Damn, if you dare take my brother’s work points, Ji Xizhi, I’ll curse you to death!!!]

Amidst the peaceful barrage appeared a sudden angry voice.

The person who sent this barrage was Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan is Qin Yutian’s cousin, and a fan of Zhong Yulu. He heard that Qin Yutian was going on a variety show with Zhong Yulu, and was constantly asking his cousin for autographs.

In the few days since the live broadcast began, the AEC Esports Club recruitment competition Qin Xuan had signed up for started ahead of schedule. The club required everyone to pay and sign to enter the club for closed training, so he rushed to sign up immediately.

Tonight, coach had some matters to attend to, so they got a half-day break, and Qin Xuan finally got his phone and entered his cousin’s live broadcast room.

Upon entry, he saw the exquisite face sharing the frame with Qin Yutian, and Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment.

Who is this?!

This side face looked a lot like the genius student he saw a few days ago in the internet café while gaming. His teammate even guessed it was Ji Xizhi, and it was him who spotted it with his keen eyes!

But when the live camera showed the front face, Qin Xuan was once again bewildered.

It seemed to be Ji Xizhi!

Did Ji Xizhi get plastic surgery?!

Qin Xuan hadn’t even scrutinized it clearly before seeing his cousin lamed and pathetically offering the notorious Ji Luyu to Ji Xizhi.

Qin Xuan was immediately super annoyed and quickly sent a barrage to scold Ji Xizhi.

He thought that once he sent the barrage, many people would echo and support him.

But soon after he sent it, he saw a series of responses in the live broadcast room.

[??? Was a mad dog let loose upstairs?]

[Black fans arrived late? Just report him first!]

[+1 support for reporting!]

Qin Xuan’s barrage had barely been out for three minutes before his account was suspended.

He was stunned, what the heck is this!

How dare Ji Xizhi buy so many fans to whitewash her in the live program? Is she not worried about her downfall? Really unbelievable!

Qin Xuan was shocked, but the immediate concern was to prevent his cousin from falling for her trick.

He exited the live room immediately and quickly dialed his cousin’s number.
