Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Over the next several days, Du Xiaojuan shot several more short videos in a row, all having Wang Dashan appear in a suit and leather shoes, filming him looking handsome, with a CEO vibe, then making him shoulder a hoe or carry fertilizer to do those rough, dirty rural chores; as a result, every one of these short videos exploded in popularity, each racking up hundreds of thousands or millions of views.

Followers accumulated rapidly.

Many people left messages in the comment section.

"This is the most handsome rural person I've ever seen!"

"I love these abs!"

"This is too funny haha!"

"This is obviously staged!"

"Staged but still love watching!"

Some even sent private messages asking if Wang Dashan was single.

At this time, Wang Dashan was looking at the account's comments and private messages on his mobile phone, a proud smile appearing on his face.

"Looks like your big brother's charm hasn't faded since back in the day!"

Du Xiaojuan, meanwhile, was on the computer end learning how to take ads, accept commercial orders, do livestreams, and other money-making projects.

Because just gaining followers isn't enough; you have to monetize the followers to truly earn money.

"Wang Dashan, I'm telling you, don't you get carried away; this is only just the beginning!"

Without lifting her head, Du Xiaojuan gave Wang Dashan this one piece of advice.

Wang Dashan immediately retorted:

"How am I carried away? I'm not carried away! We have to make it big and strong; this really is only just the beginning!"

Right then Wang Dashan scrolled to a private message — a woman had actually sent him a selfie and asked if he wanted to date; Wang Dashan immediately complained helplessly:

"Are women on the internet all this casual?"

Du Xiaojuan asked:

"What's up?"

She usually didn't care about comments, let alone private messages; the only thing she cared about was the detailed data on the computer end — things like open rate, retention rate, and so on.

Wang Dashan said:

"A woman sent a selfie over, and it was the super flirtatious kind!"

Du Xiaojuan froze for a moment, but didn't have much reaction.

Because although this was unexpected, it was also perfectly understandable.

She had filmed Wang Dashan looking handsome in the short videos, so naturally it would attract plenty of admirers.

Wang Dashan, for his part, was self-aware:

"I blocked her, honestly, we don't even know each other, how can she be like this!"

Du Xiaojuan came back to herself and couldn't help laughing:

"Look at private messages less from now on; fans like that, don't block them — they might be your loyal fans!"

Wang Dashan, however, was depressed:

"Not block them and keep them for the Spring Festival? Don't tell me you're not afraid those women will steal your husband — me — away?"

Du Xiaojuan smiled with an indifferent expression:

"If you're really that easily stolen away by those women, that proves you're not worthy of being with me; and if you're at fault first, you leave with nothing — to me that's not much of a loss, and in a certain sense it's even a positive."

Hearing Du Xiaojuan put it like that, Wang Dashan felt depressed to the extreme inside.

"So me and Xiao Du Technology are the same, right? Even though I'm the one you love, I'm also not indispensable."

Hearing him say that, Du Xiaojuan couldn't help getting angry:

"Is your brain flooded? Back then, if it weren't for you hitting Ji Xunrong, would I have abandoned Xiao Du Technology? I abandoned Xiao Du Technology for whom — don't you have a clue in your heart?"

Hearing this, Wang Dashan not only didn't get angry, but laughed instead:

"Okay okay okay, I've got a clue in my heart; don't be angry, I won't look at private messages anymore — you go handle those messages!"

Du Xiaojuan and Wang Dashan returned to the village to shoot short videos, doing it with great fanfare, so the matter of going out to travel had to be postponed; after all, now they were busy filming videos every day, the couple enjoyed it thoroughly, so naturally they stopped bringing up the matter of going out to travel.

Li Xiulan watched the two of them filming videos happily, and she too wore a face full of smiles.

But in reality, she was hiding a worry in her heart.

The maternal and infant care course she had previously enrolled in at "Qianyang Hao Vocational Technical School" — she had only studied half of it and hadn't finished; she kept thinking, when would she go back to study.

But now Du Xiaojuan and Wang Dashan were getting along so well, unlike before in Guangzhou where a few disagreeable words would lead to an argument, so she didn't dare say anything.

Those maternal and infant care courses — if not studied then so be it; it was just heartache over the 1,980 yuan enrollment fee.

Besides, once Erhai's baby is born, she also doesn't know whether she'll have to go over and help take care of it.

This evening, Li Xiulan finished cooking the rice and dishes; Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan, who had been busy all day, brought the kids over happily to eat.

Right then Wang Dashan's mobile phone rang.

He took it out to look — it was actually Wang Erhai calling.

"Second Brother, what's up?"

"Big Brother, my wife's water broke; she should be about to give birth!"

Wang Erhai's excited and nervous voice came through the phone.

"About to give birth?" Wang Dashan was also surprised, because Zhang Yueran is currently about half a month away from her due date, so this counts as early onset.

However, going into labor half a month early is a normal phenomenon and doesn't count as premature birth.

"Then why are you still standing there stunned? Hurry up and take her to the hospital!"

After Wang Dashan realized, he immediately said.

Wang Erhai busily said:

"I'm already on the road taking her to the hospital, we'll arrive at the County Maternal and Child Health Hospital in a bit! Yueran's mother is also there, so you don't need to worry. I'm calling just to let you know!"

Wang Dashan then said:

"We'll head over in a bit!"

Wang Dashan hung up the phone and immediately said to Li Xiulan:

"Mom, Second Brother's wife is about to give birth!"

Li Xiulan was overjoyed:

"Then let's hurry up and go take a look!"

Wang Dashan also felt they should hurry up and go take a look; whether they ate this dinner or not didn't matter.

However, Du Xiaojuan didn't move at all, because she had given birth before and knew the body would be very weak after childbirth; at this time what's actually needed most is rest, not other people's disturbance.

So she said:

"Have you asked Zhang Yueran's opinion? Does she want you to come over now?"

Wang Dashan was stunned:

"My Second Brother just called over; what do you mean by this?"

But Du Xiaojuan said:

"When I gave birth to Xiao Jin, I didn't want outsiders coming to disturb me either. I was weak to the point of death myself, and had no free time to entertain guests."

At this time Wang Dashan carefully recalled, and only then remembered that back when Du Xiaojuan gave birth, she indeed hadn't let others come disturb her; not only did she not let Wang Dashan's side's parents come visit her, even Du Xiaojuan's own parents, she also didn't let them come over to visit.

"No, that's just how you feel yourself; Zhang Yueran isn't as fussy as you!"

Wang Dashan couldn't help but complain a sentence.

Li Xiulan actually spoke up for Du Xiaojuan:

"Dashan, you mustn't talk about Xiao Juan like that!"

Then she also said:

"How about calling Erhai again, let Erhai ask Yueran, when would be better for us to come over and see her."

Wang Dashan was depressed.

But his own birth mother had spoken like this.

He still made a call back.

"Second Brother, ask your wife whether it's appropriate for us to go see her tonight? Or should we wait until after she's given birth to go see her?"

Wang Erhai asked Zhang Yueran once; Zhang Yueran was currently in the process of dilating, and it hurt a lot.

Her first reaction was naturally also not wanting too many people to come disturb her, and childbirth this kind of thing, being watched by people no matter how you look at it is a bit embarrassing.

So she said:

"Have them come tomorrow instead. It's so late tonight, don't want to trouble them with the trip."
