Chapter 184 -184: Got Married

The next morning,

Lu Xining woke up to two pieces of news.

The good news was that two netizens were from Yunqiao Village and had specially called their families to find out that the two elderly men had passed away naturally. They then went out of their way to find their sons who had moved back to Fuxian County.

The sons were packing, saying they were about to go on an international trip.

Everyone coming from the same village at least knew of each other’s financial capacity. In the process of being deliberately provoked by the netizens, they inadvertently revealed the truth.

“I did it on purpose, so what? Don’t forget, we’re from the same village; she’s just an outsider. Keep your mouths shut, or you’ll have me to answer to!”

The elderly men’s sons didn’t know that their fellow villager they were talking about was currently a live streamer.

After they sent the video to the person in charge at the company offering the cash reward, they instantly received a transfer of 100,000 yuan, which amounted to around 80,000 or 90,000 yuan after taxes.

This was more than what they’d earn from endless days and nights of live streaming!

Other netizens, who were initially skeptical about the reward money, immediately turned green with envy.

Some started pulling strings, others analyzed the video, and even psychology students began to decipher Wang Chunmei’s micro-expressions.

In short, without any explanation from Lu Xining herself, the netizens had already begun seeking evidence to refute the articles.

They hoped even more ardently than her that the articles and video were fake, eagerly awaiting an unexpected windfall.

The bad news was…

The village chief had been hospitalized after an unforeseen incident a couple of days ago.

Lu Xining had arranged for someone to visit Fuxian Hospital to check on the village chief’s condition, and she hadn’t taken the turn in public opinion online to heart at all.

Instead of handling it repeatedly according to others’ whims, she chose to ignore them and bait them into acting again.

While she was having breakfast with her daughter, Wang Chunmei in far-off Yunqiao Village was feeling very displeased, for her daughter was vexing her again.

“Mom! Are you insane? I finally found a decent job, and just because of your stunt, I’ve been fired. Are you happy now?”

“What would a girl like you know? How much can one lousy job pay? Do you have any idea how much money I made from just one video this time?” Wang Chunmei gloated, phone in hand, “200,000! Do you know how many years it would take our family to earn that?”

The daughter sneered in mockery, “And how much of that 200,000 is for me?”

“How could it be for you? Of course, it’s for your brother.”

“Your little nephew is about to start school, and mom plans to buy an apartment in the city for your brother. How much money do you have? Consider it borrowed from mom, give it to me first.”

Wang Chunmei didn’t think there was anything wrong with her favoritism. After all, girls were meant to help support the family, they couldn’t compare to a precious son.

“I don’t have any money!” The daughter was so angry she didn’t want to say another word and went straight upstairs to pack her things.

Speaking of packing, it was just about gathering some clothes next to the bed in the upstairs living room.

Her own room had long been repurposed for her brother’s two sons. On holidays when she returned home, she could only sleep in the small living room upstairs.

Before coming back,

Wang Chunmei’s daughter had also seen the “ten million prize pool” article released by someone on behalf of Lu Xining.

Standing at the window, she looked at her mother in the yard, happily feeding chicken legs to her brother’s sons, and thought back to her own breakfast of plain porridge. She made her decision in silence.

Seeing her daughter ready to leave just after arriving, Wang Chunmei frowned.

“Why are you leaving again? Your sister-in-law’s back has been bothering her lately. Stay home and help with the chores. Why does a girl always think about going out?”

Wang Chunmei’s daughter looked at her two little nephews each munching on a chicken leg, faces greasy with delight, and thought of the different treatment she and her brother received since childhood, feeling even more resentful.

“I’m going to look for a new job.”

Wang Chunmei hadn’t noticed her daughter’s mood at all. In her mind, girls were of little use – it was sons she depended on in her old age.

She held her daughter’s hand and smiled as she said, “Stop looking for a job. I’ll have the village aunties set up a few blind dates for you. With the bride price included, we’ll have just enough money to buy your brother an apartment in the county town.”

Hearing this, her daughter’s expression grew even darker.

She glanced at her mobile phone, which she had placed in position earlier, and, taking Wang Chunmei with her, went over. After a series of roundabout questions, she had ascertained the source of Wang Chunmei’s 200,000 yuan.

“Mom, I have a salary of 5,000 yuan that I haven’t collected yet. I’ll go to Fuxian first to get the money and then I’ll buy you some chicken, duck, fish, and meat.”

“Very good, very good, daughters are always so thoughtful.”

Wang Chunmei patted her hand contentedly and reminded her, “This time, don’t call a taxi to come back. Take the rural-urban bus to the neighboring village; walking back will only take about five hours and you can save more than a hundred yuan. Leave the rest of the money for your brother, okay?”

If before she merely felt cold-hearted, now, after hearing those words, the daughter completely gave up hope.

She nodded silently, seized the opportunity while Wang Chunmei wasn’t paying attention to grab the mobile phone she had put aside earlier, shouldered her backpack, and left home.

Wang Chunmei, blissfully oblivious, waited for her daughter to return with the 5,000 yuan to hand over to her, unaware that her daughter had already edited the video into several clips and sent them to the person in charge of the reward exchange.

With every 100,000 yuan she received, the daughter harbored even more resentment towards her birth family.

The moment she received one million yuan, she changed all her contact information and boarded a train to another province.

She never returned after that.

The moment the reward exchange company received the videos, they realized they had been reported by Wang Chunmei’s own family, and immediately sent them to Lu Xining.

Lu Xining casually glanced at the video contents while waiting at the traffic lights.

She knew that Wang Chunmei’s daughter had sent them.

By now, one-third of the reward pool had been exchanged, nearly becoming the primary source of income for the unemployed, live streamers, and other such groups.

Without paying too much attention to the details, Lu Xining instructed the other party to continue to honor the prizes to these people.

After Wang Chunmei’s daughter left Yunqiao Village, she disclosed the exact location of the village.

Before long, the village was swarming with all kinds of people looking to make money, and Wang Chunmei was cornered in her own home.

The villagers, unable to bear the disruption, turned to Wang Chunmei to settle their grievances.

When Lu Xining arrived at the “Hidden Taste” private restaurant, Ming Yuan was already there ahead of time.

She looked around and, somewhat disappointed, asked, “Where is my precious goddaughter? Where have you hidden her?”

Lu Xining couldn’t help but smile, “She was taken out by her uncle when you messaged me.”

Ming Yuan had been filming a movie in the depth of the desert for some time.

According to her original plan, the film was supposed to shoot until the end of the year, but she had returned to Jingzhou suddenly after less than two months of filming.

Lu Xining was worried about her and hurried over.

“Besides, didn’t you say you needed to see me about something? I was worried your matter was urgent, so I came right over.”

Ming Yuan sighed, “I haven’t seen my Nuobao for so long. I don’t even know if she remembers her godmother, who is a paragon of beauty and wisdom.”

“Don’t worry, given the pace at which you send her clothes, bags, and gifts every month, she won’t forget you.”

Lu Xining walked to a seat in the private room and began to brew tea for her.

Because she had to maintain her figure, Ming Yuan hadn’t eaten staples for many years, and even her meals were fat-reducing.

Thus, Lu Xining had the restaurant specifically create low-calorie meals for her that preserved the deliciousness of the ingredients under the premise of maximum fat reduction.

She could tell as soon as she arrived that, although Ming Yuan appeared cheerful on the surface, there was a pervasive melancholy between her brows that didn’t disperse.

Ming Yuan sat opposite Lu Xining and said in a low voice, “Ningning, I… got married.”

“An hour ago, we just registered.”
