Chapter 67: The Woman Below the Mountain Is a Tiger, So When Eating Meat, Spit Out No Bones

"Old Li, I'm off. If fate allows, we'll meet again!"

Su Meng waved his hand at the Li family bandleader.

According to the production crew's arrangement, each episode is livestreamed for three days, with a few days' rest in between before the next episode begins.

Now the time had come, and Su Meng and Liu Tianxian were also preparing to head back together.

"Master Su, are you really leaving?"

The Li family bandleader's face was full of reluctance.

Although he'd only spent a short three days with Su Meng, those three days had been far too thrilling!

Su Meng chuckled and said.

"I do have my own job after all. I can't just drop everything and play the suona every day, can I?"

Bandleader Li nodded and said in agreement.

"Right, you're a big star after all. How much can you earn doing odd jobs…"

"It's not about the money." Su Meng cut him off directly.

"Look, I've written so many pieces for weddings and funerals after all. I've got to record them out, right?"

"When the brothers are working, they'll have a few more tunes to play, won't they?"

"Besides, we might even collaborate again in a while!"

"Really?" Bandleader Li's face lit up with pleasant surprise.

"Master Su, you'll really come back and play the suona?"

Su Meng gave a mysterious smile.

"You never know. You'll find out when the time comes."

"But right now, have you forgotten something?"

Forgotten something? Bandleader Li scratched his head, his face full of confusion.

Su Meng immediately grew anxious.

"Old Li, you're not playing fair!"

"I worked a full day today, didn't we agree on 500 a day? Are you trying to welch on the bill?"

Huh? Bandleader Li paused for a moment, then hurriedly pulled out a few bills and handed them over.

"If you hadn't said anything I'd have forgotten. I thought you, a big star…"

"So what if I'm a big star? A big star still has to earn his living by his craft."

Su Meng snatched the bills, stuffed them into his pocket, and shoved the suona case in his hands into the cameraman's arms.

"Hold this!"

The cameraman took the case in a fluster, his face full of gloom.

I mean, I'm a cameraman too, aren't I? How did I end up as your bag-carrying sidekick?

Su Meng saw his reluctant face and said irritably.

"What's wrong with doing a little work?"

"These past few days you've mooched several big stew dishes off me, and two full banquet spreads."

"You didn't do a lick of work and you still feel okay about it? I told you to carry the coffin and you wouldn't do that either."

Can we please stop bringing up the coffin-carrying thing?

The cameraman immediately shut himself down.

……

"Su Meng! You're finally back!"

At the filming site, Xiao Yueyue saw Su Meng and Liu Tianxian getting out of the car and greeted them with a delighted face.

For some reason, he felt a strong fondness for Su Meng.

Su Meng lifted the bag in his hand and said proudly.

"Xiao Yueyue, I specially brought something delicious. Let's finish it off in a bit!"

"Mm!" Xiao Yueyue stared at the bag, his eyes practically shining.

Su Meng was just about to speak when he suddenly sensed two low-pressure fronts closing in.

Deng Ziqi and Boss Yang strode over with dark faces.

"Su Meng, I heard my legs are very thick?"

"Su Meng, I heard I developed really well?"

Su Meng hunched his neck and handed one over from the bag.

"Ziqi, you tell me yourself — compared with these big chicken legs, aren't your legs thicker than they are?"

"Chicken legs? These are the chicken legs you brought back from the banquet?"

Deng Ziqi cried out in pleasant surprise and snatched the bag.

"Seeing you eat so happily, I couldn't hold back long ago. I just have to see if the banquet food really is that good."

Seeing he'd handled Deng Ziqi, Su Meng pulled out another bag.

"Da Mimi, this is the greens I specially brought for you. Super healthy."

Da Mimi? Quite a few people on the production crew turned green.

Although Boss Yang's nickname was known to everyone, it was only ever said behind her back by fans.

Calling her that right to her face — isn't that just teasing her?

Sure enough, Boss Yang's face went even darker.

"No! I'm not Da Mimi! Because I haven't finished developing yet!"

"So I need to eat more meat, put on more flesh!"

"Don't think I don't know — you brought boiled pork slices, spicy beef, blanched shrimp, Dongpo pork knuckle…"

"You're just fobbing me off with greens? Hand it over!"

Saying so, she snatched the entire bag from Su Meng's hand in one grab.

Deng Ziqi suddenly grew anxious.

"Boss Yang, that's not fair — at least leave me some!"

"Don't even think about it, it's all mine!" Boss Yang's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Liu Tianxian suddenly stamped her foot and joined the fray.

"I brought this back too — you have to share some with me!"

"Red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds are enough for you. At most I'll give you a bit of greens."

"I don't eat greens, I want meat!"

Watching three female stars squabbling over a few dishes, Xiao Yueyue suddenly felt a chill run through his body and unconsciously edged a few steps closer to Su Meng.

"Su Meng, I don't know why, but I feel really scared!"

Su Meng nodded in deep agreement.

"Haven't you heard the saying? Women below the mountain are tigers — so when they eat meat, they don't spit out the bones."

Hmm? A few question marks suddenly popped up above Xiao Yueyue's head.
