Kun Cai's side was filled with worry because he had withdrawn from " The Life To Be Aware of ". In the mushroom house, although the live broadcast had ended, it was still very lively. Huang Lei and the others, who were exhausted and lying on the chairs in the courtyard, were indescribably depressed.
During this period of time, the sales of watermelons were very hot. The watermelons that were picked at the beginning were sold out in less than half a minute. There were still many people who wanted to buy them, but there was nowhere to buy them.
For the sake of the audience, Zhong Ming immediately ordered Huang Lei and the others to pick watermelons from the watermelon field. In the end, they were all carried back by the staff.
Although they were only picking, the constant bending made their backs ache.
In the beginning, Huang Lei and the others were unwilling to go. Zhong Ming was very decisive about the agreement of exchanging watermelons for white radishes. Picking a watermelon could offset a white radish.
In the end, he helped Huang Lei and He Jiong to get rid of 50 white radishes. In other words, they had picked 50 watermelons this time.
Zhong Ming was currently in the mushroom house. The watermelons were at least 15 catties. After picking them all back, they were all sold out in less than a minute.
This time, excluding the shipping fees, Zhong Ming earned nearly 6,000 yuan.
This was also the reason why Huang Lei and the others chose to sit in the courtyard. There was no other reason than that Zhong Ming was simply too stingy.
They had earned so much this time because they and the staff had worked themselves to death. They did not expect Zhong Ming to not even be willing to improve his food.
"Director Zhong has gone too far this time. No matter what, even if we don't have any credit, we still have to work hard. Who knew that he would directly put the money into his own pocket? I've really never seen such a stingy person!”
Peng Peng pulled on his collar and fanned himself. Although it was already night time, he was still very annoying, especially after picking the watermelon. He was covered in sweat and his clothes stuck to his body. It was unspeakably uncomfortable.
" We're already used to it…"
Huang Lei shook his head and sighed. He was very clear about Zhong Ming's stinginess. This time, Zhong Ming did not improve the food and even took the money for himself. This was already within his expectations.
He had never had any fantasies about this. After all, one of Zhong Ming's nicknames was Nero Zhong. It was already good enough that he did not scam them of their money.
"In any case, don't even think about snatching something that Director Zhong has his eyes on.”
Reba nodded in agreement.
She had a rough understanding of Zhong Ming's personality after spending time with him these few days.
Not only was he stingy with his guests, but he was also very stingy with himself. He was almost the kind of person who would spend ten cents for ten points.
For example, when they ate, other than the first day, they only ate vegetables and did not touch any meat. Some of the staff members began to have opinions about Zhong Ming.
To be honest, Reba really couldn't understand. Was it really good to be so stingy? Wasn't money earned to be spent?
Wasn't it a little too much for a miser to be so stingy?
Anyway, Reba had never seen such a stingy person since he was born.
"Anyway, I don't expect anything. As long as Director Zhong doesn't set us up, it'll be fine.”
Zhang Zhifeng didn't have any opinion about Zhong Ming's stinginess. After all, everyone had their own personality and habits. Some people spent money extravagantly, while others were stingy. She couldn't change this situation.
"I'm curious why Director Zhong would wander around every day. Although the scenery here is pretty good, it's a little strange at night.”
He Jiong looked outside the courtyard. There were only about 30 households in this village. Most of them were elderly, and the young and middle-aged had gone out to work.
Zhong Ming often went out alone. Clearly, something was wrong.
"Why don't we go out for a walk? I feel a little dizzy staying here.”
Huang Leixiang thought for a while. He had been here for almost a week, but he had not walked around. Especially after Zhong Ming came, they lost the energy.
Today, the moon was very round, and the road could be seen clearly under the moonlight.
"I also want to go out and get some fresh air. It's too stuffy here.”
Zhang Zhifeng nodded repeatedly, his face full of excitement.
After making up their minds, Huang Lei and the others brought six staff members who were in charge of their safety and began to walk towards the nearest house.
The lights in this room were still on. Huang Lei gently knocked on the wooden door a few times, neither fast nor slow.
"Who is it?"
"Hello, uncle. We're from the program team of 'The Life You Aware of.' We wanted to come over and have a chat.”
Huang Lei hurriedly replied when he heard a hoarse and old voice coming from inside the house.
"Oh, so you're from Director Zhong's program team. Please come in!”
The old man opened the door. He was wearing a white singlet with a few patches and a pair of yellowed shorts.
Huang Lei and the others looked at each other. So this uncle also knew Zhong Ming? It seemed that he often came to visit.
They sat on the bench. Fortunately, the living room was spacious enough. Otherwise, they would not have been able to squeeze in with eleven people.
The old man took out a cup and poured half a cup of tea for them. His wife took out a bag of fruits from the jar.
"I only have these things at home.”
The old farmer gestured for Huang Lei and the others to eat the food on the table. They had made these things themselves.
"Director Zhong comes here often?"
Huang Lei was a little curious. Zhong Ming had always been a person who would not wake up early unless there was profit. Could it be that during this period of time, he had come here to freeload food and drink for nothing?
"Yeah, Director Zhong is a good person. He came to my house a few days ago and even brought a bag of beef. This is the first time I've eaten it.”
"A good person? You even brought beef?"
Huang Lei and the others looked at each other. The old farmer who appeared in the watermelon field also said that Zhong Ming was a good person. What was going on?
Huang Lei and the others chatted with the old farmer. The more they talked, the more surprised Huang Lei and the others were.
After leaving this farmhouse, Huang Lei and the others went to several other farmhouses.
These farmers, without exception, were not praising Zhong Ming. All of them gave him a thumbs up and said that Zhong Ming was a good person, which made Huang Lei even more curious.
It turned out that Zhong Ming had been missing from time to time these days because he had brought the ingredients to these farmers 'houses.
After walking for a while, Huang Lei and the others stopped at the last farmhouse. Just as they were about to knock on the door, they heard Zhong Ming's voice.
"Auntie, don't worry. I've already thought of a solution for your medical expenses. Here is six thousand yuan. Keep it well. Someone will take you to the hospital tomorrow so that you can have the surgery as soon as possible.”
"Director Zhong, this can't be done. Auntie, I…I…I've already buried half of my money in the ground. Going to the hospital is a waste of money. You should keep this money for yourself.”
"Auntie, you don't have to decline. I've already paid.”
"Director Zhong…You... Sigh…"
At this moment, a burst of crying came from inside the house, and Zhong Ming was comforting him inside the house.
Huang Lei and the others stood outside the door, stunned. So…Director Zhong had been paying attention to these lonely old men all this time?!
Inside the house, the sobbing gradually calmed down. The aunt's hand had been holding Zhong Ming's hand. It was the first time she felt such warmth.
Even her son had never treated her like this.
"I'll be leaving first, Auntie. Go for the surgery as soon as possible.”
Huang Lei and the others immediately hid at the side. Zhong Ming opened the door and left without finding them.
