The Salted Fish Transmigrates as a Wealthy Stepdad and Goes Viral on a Parenting Variety Show - Chapter 22

Regarding the accommodations, Chen Liqing was acting like a decent human being for once; he did not make them build their own shelters. Six bamboo houses stood on a clearing, with their names hanging on the doors.

“These are your homes for the next half month. Are you satisfied?” Chen Liqing turned around and smiled.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence, followed by a round of scattered applause and weak, lifeless voices.

Chen Liqing’s mouth twitched. He pretended not to see their reactions and continued, “Lunch will be prepared for you shortly. Please cherish this final meal.”

“Oh.”

After saying his piece, he turned and left. Gu Wancheng and the others found their respective bamboo houses and moved their belongings inside to unpack.

“Daddy, are we going to go hungry?” Chaochao asked anxiously.

Gu Wancheng ruffled the boy’s hair and said decisively, “Do not worry. Daddy will not let you go hungry.”

Having said that, as if thinking of something, he turned toward the camera. With the corners of his mouth curving slightly upward, he said a single sentence: “Trust me.”

He was already handsome, but at this moment, the confidence in his eyes made him look dazzlingly radiant.

【Was Cheng Cheng talking to us just now?】 【I do not think so.】 【Then?】 【Does this count as us being fed dog food?】 【How could it not?】 【I do not care! Cheng Cheng was talking to us! Cheng Cheng is so kind; he was afraid we would be worried, so he told us to trust him.】 【You! Fine.】

At the Qiming Group, located in the tallest building in Sheng’an City, Bo Yizhou sat in his top floor office. For the first time ever, a livestream was playing on his computer. If others knew about this, their eyes would surely pop out of their heads.

He frowned as he watched Gu Wancheng’s livestream. He knew that the sentence Gu Wancheng had spoken was meant for him.

Recalling that waist he could wrap his hand around, he wondered what would happen if the other came back even thinner this time. Before that sentence was spoken, Bo Yizhou truly did have plans to intervene.

But looking at the confident gaze in Gu Wancheng’s eyes on the screen, he decided to wait and see.

“Xiao Lin, we are going to have to be self reliant from now on. Are you afraid?”

Xiao Lin shook his head. “I am not afraid. When Grandfather took me camping before, we found our own food. Daddy is not afraid either.”

“Then Daddy will be counting on Xiao Lin.”

“Yes!” Xiao Lin nodded vigorously. Daddy was counting on him; he would definitely help his father.

【Xiao Lin really is an angel baby. Smile.jpg】 【If Xiao Lin were my child?】 【Are you dreaming, upstairs?】

Following his father’s lead, he helped organize the things they had brought. He neatly arranged the small miscellaneous items one by one. After receiving a praiseful pat on the head, his eyes sparkled like stars.

In Xu Xiashi’s bamboo house, the mother and daughter had changed their clothes and finished packing. They sat on the bed staring at each other until Xu Xiashi finally let out a sigh and threw up her hands. “Baby, Mommy is useless. We are going to go hungry.”

Mitu blinked and said in a milky voice, “I can go help the other uncles and brothers with their work. That way, they will give us food. I can take care of Mommy.”

【Heavens, even a child knows you cannot get something for nothing, yet some people do not understand that principle.】 【Mitu is wonderful. Her family education is excellent.】

Xu Xiashi made a face as if she were about to cry, looking deeply moved. “How could Mommy let my baby go to work? Do not worry; Mommy will definitely take good care of you.”

Mitu looked at her suddenly emotional mother with confusion and nodded.

“Okay, I trust Mommy.”

“Baby, Mommy loves you so much!” Xu Xiashi gently held Mitu’s face and gave her two firm kisses.

Unlike the warm atmosphere in the other houses, the Jian brothers stood looking at each other after unpacking, filled with nothing but disappointment.

Zuo Zuo pouted and began to lecture his brother earnestly. “You cannot be like this. You are an adult; you have to find a way. What if I get thin from hunger?”

After speaking, he pinched the soft fat on his stomach and let out a heavy sigh.

Jian Yue laughed out of frustration. He grabbed the boy and rubbed his face. “You little brat, what do you need all that fat for? I do not know how to cook anyway. Besides, if I made something, would you even eat it?”

Zuo Zuo, who was desperately trying to break free from his brother’s hands, froze. Remembering the dishes his brother had made before, his face twisted. He felt as though the future was bleak.

“Then what do we do?”

Jian Yue pondered for a moment before saying hesitantly, “How about you go begging?”

Zuo Zuo’s eyes widened as he looked at the person who had just said something so earth shattering. He looked completely dazed and lost.

“You! You actually told me to go begging!”

【Little Beggar Zuo Zuo is making a limited time appearance.】

【I am done. How could Brother Jian let Zuo Zuo go begging?】

【Exactly! Brother Jian should be the one to go begging instead!】

【So, which household are they planning to beg from?】

【Wait? Is begging the only option?】

【Do you guys want to see them beg that badly? Are you anti fans?】

【No, we are Brother Jian’s true love fans!】

【Yes, that is right.】

The viewer who had asked the question wondered: Is this what true love fans are like? I do not understand, but I respect it.

Jian Yue said with regret, “I cannot go. You have an advantage, so you should go.”

Zuo Zuo said huffily, “I am not going.”

“Then we are in trouble. We are going to go hungry.”

Hearing about being hungry, Zuo Zuo hesitated again. “If I go begging, what will you be doing?”

【Wait, baby, are you actually planning to go?!】

Jian Yue looked profoundly mysterious. “Me? I am going to go scavenging.”

Zuo Zuo nodded as if he partially understood and asked, “What is scavenging?”

“The explanation is very complicated. You would not understand even if I told you.”

“Tell me, tell me!”

Jian Yue let out a sigh, looking helpless. “Fine, I will summarize it. I am going to go pick up trash.”

What?

Seeing the mischief in his brother’s eyes, Zuo Zuo realized he had been teased again. He wanted nothing more than to pounce on his brother and bite the man who had nothing better to do than tease him.

【Poor Zuo Zuo was teased by his brother again. Sidelong smirk.jpg】 【Three seconds of silence for Zuo Zuo.】 【Work hard, Zuo Zuo. Have a little heart.】 【A snack? What snack?】 【Nothing. Go play.】

After his moment of confidence, Gu Wancheng began to think about what they should eat for dinner. Perhaps he should wander into the woods first; it would be great if he could find the seasonings hidden by the production team. The seasonings they had brought were confiscated earlier.

After thinking for a long time without a result, he looked at Chaochao, who was entertaining himself nearby. “Chaochao, what are we eating tonight?”

“Huh?” Are you asking me?

The dazed look in Chaochao’s eyes gave him his answer. Forget it; they would eat whatever they could find.

“Alright, go back to playing.”

Before Chaochao could even react, he was told to continue playing. He squeezed the stone in his hand, hesitated for a few seconds, gave up on thinking, and resumed his little game.

“Xiao Xiao, do you need my help?” Jiang Yu smiled gently as he looked at Xiao Xiao, who was organizing his things.

【Our Xiao Yu is so kind.】

【He has not even finished packing his own things, yet he is thinking of helping others.】

【Xiao Yu is the best. Blush.jpg】

【I wonder who will be lucky enough to get Xiao Yu in the future.】

【No way, Xiao Yu should stay beautiful and single!】

Xiao Xiao glanced at him and refused. “No need. I can do it myself.”

【How can he be like that? Xiao Yu wanted to help him, and yet he gives him a cold face.】

【Wait, are you guys crazy?】

“Alright then. Xiao Xiao is so great, being able to organize everything alone.” Hearing the refusal, Jiang Yu was relieved. He had only said it for the sake of saying it and had been hoping to be turned down.

“Dinner is served!”
