Chapter 241: Ten-Yuan Earthworms

Human joys and sorrows are not necessarily connected.

Zhu Li had intended to end this frustrating livestream, but she unexpectedly discovered that after her boyfriend was fiercely pecked by the big white goose, the number of followers in the livestream room had bizarrely increased.

Ah, this.

Is her boyfriend's dignity more important, or is her own popularity more important?

The big lad ahead was still squatting on the ground with his head buried; presumably, there wasn't much dignity left anyway. Since that was the case, why not recycle the situation—ah, no, make use of it a second time and contribute a little bit to his girlfriend's popularity!

As a streamer, Zhu Li was quite willing to go all out; at this moment, she actually gritted her teeth and didn't turn off the stream.

Lu Chuan had been squatting on the ground for a long while, the lingering pain in his backside only just beginning to fade. He slowly stood up, staring fiercely at the direction in which the white goose had disappeared, gritting his teeth:

"If I don't eat this goose today, I swear I'm not a man!"

"It was fine, why did it peck people?"

Why? Because it's a goose.

If a goose finds you an eyesore, does it need a reason?

Song Tan smiled apologetically: "Sorry, Lu Chuan, that's not my goose; it's my grandfather's. The old couple only raised that one. You say, if it's because of this little matter..."

How about you stop being a man!

Her expression of "why are you so petty" almost made Lu Chuan choke on a mouthful of old blood!

It was him! His backside had been fiercely pecked! Now he had already made his harsh threats, yet it was an elder's goose...

You lot are just standing there and not feeling the pain!

At this moment, the look he gave his girlfriend was full of accusation.

Zhu Li:...

She guiltily looked away.

However, popularity is popularity; having the livestream turn out like this today, Zhu Li was somewhat discouraged.

She numbly carried the phone stand and followed Song Tan down the mountain. When bypassing a small path, she suddenly saw a man at the downhill slope ahead, head lowered, digging for something in the soil.

Zhu Li adjusted the camera to avoid the person's face—it wasn't that she was particularly moral, but everyone had to follow the livestreaming rules to some extent.

She made small talk: "Is he weeding?"

Song Tan looked closely: "No, he's digging for earthworms."

Just as she was speaking, the man digging in the soil below suddenly stood up. Seeing Song Tan, he couldn't help but feel a wave of embarrassment on his old face:

"Hahaha, well, Proprietor Song, the weather is quite nice."

Good heavens, one could see his guilt through the screen.

But honestly, digging for earthworms wasn't something shameful, so why this attitude?

Song Tan knew clearly—because here, earthworms were given out as consolation prizes and rewards.

Dig away; for the earthworms under the broken bricks, tiles, and stones at her doorstep, she had to adjust the spiritual energy every time before digging them out. As for the ones in the mountain soil...

Dig to your heart's content.

She also smiled slightly, knowingly asking with bad intentions: "Why aren't you in a hurry to fish anymore?"

Why aren't you in a hurry to fish anymore?

You still have the nerve to ask!

The fishing brother looked at her accusingly, looking just like a resentful wife—that is to say, this pond seemed to have magic; sometimes they would sit there for a whole day and couldn't even catch a loach.

But as long as they used the earthworms given by the proprietor, good heavens, there would be a commotion at the bottom of the water, and it wouldn't affect them catching big fish.

【To be honest, I've been using Wild Fruit Reading to catch up on books recently; the source switching is fast, and there are many reading voices. Both Android and Apple are supported.】

It was as if the big guys were having a fight in the water, and whoever was stronger would take the bait.

It was guaranteed to be a big fish!

After a few back-and-forths, everyone figured that these earthworms must be magical bait cultivated through special methods. They couldn't buy them, and Zhang Yanping wouldn't give them any more.

There was no other way, so they had to "rely on themselves."

He was afraid of being seen by Song Tan, so he specifically went around a mountain to be here, but who knew they would still bump into each other.

The fishing brother straightened his face, trying hard to make it sound plausible:

"Sitting every day has caused lumbar muscle strain; I have to come out and move around."

Song Tan also smiled considerately: "No worries, no rush. If you don't catch anything today, tomorrow it'll be your turn to weed. There will be plenty of opportunities to move around then."

Killing the person and attacking the heart!

The fishing brother, who was afraid of coming up empty-handed, felt very ashamed inside.

But if he didn't do this farm work, he wouldn't be able to eat the meals at her place.

He said listlessly: "If you ask me, Proprietor Song, you might as well turn your place into a farmhouse resort. I come here to eat every day, and I'll bring you customers!"

Song Tan also said seriously: "There's only one chef; how can I take care of so many people eating? Don't you have any idea how much you eat?"

The fishing brother thought of his appetite for three or four boxed meals at a time and silently shut up.

He hummed and stuck the shovel in his hand into the ground, then asked: "10 yuan per earthworm, will you sell?"

"Not selling."

Bullet comments:...

【Is this talking about RMB?】

【10 yuan for an earthworm? What kind of earthworm? Two meters long?】

【To the one above, if it were two meters long, you'd be running away crying.】

【This fishing brother is really not good; he comes up empty-handed himself and then says the bait is bad.】

【Exactly! Report the location, I'll go bait the spot for him!】

The fishing brother couldn't feel the disdain in the bullet comments at all; he was only secretly anxious:

"Why won't you earn money when you have the chance?"

The other party got anxious: "I'll just buy one. Can you name a price? 50 for one, will you sell? I come up empty-handed every day, don't I have any face?"

Song Tan was puzzled: "The ones responsible for weeding yesterday and the day before weren't you, right?"

"Yeah."

The other party looked at her resentfully: "At least I caught a water snake and two loaches."

Although he didn't catch a single proper fish, it was better than catching nothing at all.

In the past, when he brought a bucket of fish home, his wife would be all sour-faced, saying he smelled fishy all over every day and telling him to hurry up and give them away.

Now it was even worse; for several days in a row, the bucket was empty, and he couldn't bring those water snakes and loaches home!

As a result, he was looked down upon by his wife again, saying he just stood there with a long pole in a daze all day.

If you really have nothing to do, go out and find a job; collecting rent has no future.

The grievance and bitterness in this were truly unspeakable!

Zhu Li glanced at the bullet comments and saw many people offering to sell earthworms at high prices—

【I'll sell 10 for 50 yuan! Those fat green earthworms, and those small red ones, I can mail them all to you.】

【The profiteer above. You dare to sell earthworms at this price?】

【So what? One is willing to sell and the other is willing to buy; didn't they already offer 50 yuan for one here?】

Zhu Li:...

What, does she have to consider earthworms for her product promotion now?

What serious female streamer sells earthworms, hey!

Song Tan shook her head: "No, no cheating. If you really want earthworms, you'd better put in more effort."

"Besides, after you finish fishing today, won't you be unable to come for several days? If not, go back and dig a few somewhere else."

Speaking of this, the fishing brother was even sadder:

"Then what will I eat tomorrow?"

The food here is truly delicious.

So delicious that they would rather grunt and pull weeds in the field than move away.

Song Tan thought for a moment: "There are still some green vegetables in the field, do you want them? Do you want tea leaves?" ===== CHAPTER 242 =====
