"I can give all the dumplings to your son, but you and your son have to apologize to me and my son," Ye Zhenzhen sneered.
If Wu Yuerou hadn't said that in such a high and mighty manner, she might have just given the dumplings to An Ruilin.
However, Wu Yuerou's tone was clearly hostile. How could she compromise so easily?
Although she didn't like to bully others, she couldn't just let herself be bullied again and again.
"Ye Zhenzhen, are you crazy? Why should I apologize to you?"
Wu Yuerou believed that Ye Zhenzhen must be so arrogant that she had forgotten who she was.
To think the other party even wanted her son to apologize to her stepson. Ye Zhenzhen must have gone crazy since yesterday.
Ye Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows slightly. Her fair face looked cold, "Mmm, I guess I was infected by you after being with you for the past two days, huh?"
[Hahahaha! It feels so good to watch Ye Jianjian dissing people!]
[She shouldn't be called Ye Jianjian, she should be called Ye Duidui!]
[Speaking of which, Wu Yuerou deserves to be scolded! Ye Zhenzhen, good!]
Han Jiangxue suddenly admired Ye Zhenzhen's stupidity. She did not expect the latter to be so bold as to confront Wu Yuerou again and again.
Wu Yuerou pointed at Ye Zhenzhen's nose angrily, "Ye Zhenzhen, what do you mean?"
"You don't understand?" Ye Zhenzhen asked, "Then I'll work harder and explain it to you. First, you didn't stop your son from causing trouble for the first time. In the end, you pushed the responsibility to the dumplings I made. This is your fault, so you have to apologize to me. Second, your son caused trouble again and pushed my son, making my son almost fall. This is your son's fault, so your son has to apologize to my son. I can only give you the dumplings after you do these two things. Have I made myself clear enough?"
[Ahhhhh, at this moment, I feel that Ye Duidui is so cool. A cool mother protecting a cool son!]
[Her words are reasonable. Wu Yuerou should apologize.]
[If only my mother could protect me like this when I was young. I suddenly feel like crying!]
[I slapped my own mouth. The words "evil stepmother" are my biggest misunderstanding about Ye Zhenzhen. She is obviously a good mother.]
[Compared to Han Jiangxue, I really think that Ye Zhenzhen is a good mother!]
Wu Yuerou was rendered speechless by Ye Zhenzhen's words. Her face turned livid, but she did not want to apologize to the latter. Why should she? She felt that she had done nothing wrong.
In Ye Zhenzhen's eyes, people like Wu Yuerou were like rocks in an iron pot. They would never be able to get an apology from her.
However, the child was innocent. To think the other party had spoiled An Ruilin to such an extent. God knows who should be pitied more.
"Ruirui, come to Auntie!" She shouted at An Ruilin.
Although An Ruilin was young, he had his own thoughts. He had been crying on the ground for a long time and was already tired. When he heard Ye Zhenzhen calling him, he thought that there were dumplings to eat, so he quickly got up and ran over.
Ye Zhenzhen patted his head and said softly, "Auntie will give you the dumplings, but you have to apologize to Shen Yibo and Song Yuchen."
"Why?" An Ruilin didn't realize his mistake at all. Rather, he felt that Shen Yibo should apologize to him.
"First of all, you were the one who snatched Shen Yibo's dumplings, right?" Ye Zhenzhen explained patiently.
An Ruilin nodded. It was because he wanted to eat dumplings.
"You snatched the dumplings and as a result, they fell onto the ground, right?"
An Ruilin looked at the dusty dumplings on the ground and nodded again, "The dumplings fell on the ground and can't be eaten anymore."
"Right, because you fought over it, the dumplings fell to the ground, and then Shen Yibo was so sad that he cried. This is all because of you. Perhaps you think you're right, but your actions have already caused a bad influence on others. Shouldn't you apologize to Shen Yibo?"
An Ruilin's eyes flashed with an apologetic look. He nodded and said to Shen Yibo, "Yibo, I'm sorry!"
Shen Yibo finished the dumplings on his plate and was full, so he was very happy now. He replied with a silly smile, "It's alright. You can't snatch my things again!"
An Ruilin nodded silently again.
"You almost pushed Song Yuchen and made him fall the second time you tried to snatch the dumplings," Ye Zhenzhen continued, "Although you did not push him on purpose, your behavior has already hurt others. It's not right, do you understand?"
An Ruilin blinked and looked at Song Yuchen, "I'm sorry."
Song Yuchen waved his hand to show that he had forgiven him.
"Awesome! A thumbs-up for you!" As she spoke, Ye Zhenzhen gave An Ruilin a big thumbs up and marked it on his forehead, "Then, can Ruirui stop making trouble from now on and get along with everyone?" If you want something, you can say it, but you can't snatch it. Let's discuss it properly, okay?"
"Okay!"
Xu Wanjia and Lin Qianqian also applauded from the side, "Ruirui is awesome!"
This was the first time An Ruilin had been praised in public by someone he was not familiar with. This feeling was very good and made him very proud. He also ate the dumplings very enthusiastically.
[Oh my god, Ye Zhenzhen is really good. I'm impressed!]]
[I just want to say that there are no naughty children, only adults who don't know how to guide them.]
[Ye Duidui is really quite awesome.]
[These children are all quite good. If you want to blame someone, blame the adults.]
Wu Yuerou's face turned even darker. She scolded Ye Zhenzhen, "Ye Zhenzhen, what right do you have to discipline my son?!"
To think her son really listened to Ye Zhenzhen and apologized. Wu Yuerou was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
Ye Zhenzhen's lips twitched as she replied coldly, "As you can see, I've disciplined him. Do you want to thank me? There's no need for that."
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't be bothered with people like Wu Yuerou who had twisted morals.
She did this purely because she felt that the children shouldn't be fighting like this all the time. At this age, they should be playing happily together.
[Wu Yuerou, stop talking. It's really too embarrassing!]
[Ye Jianjian is really amazing. I've decided to observe and not scold her, for now.]
[I originally came for Han Jiangxue, but now I feel that Ye Zhenzhen's personality is more attractive to me.]
Wu Yuerou wanted to continue arguing with Ye Zhenzhen, but Han Jiangxue interrupted her.
"Sister Yuerou!"
Wu Yuerou turned to look at Han Jiangxue, who was winking at her with her back facing the camera. She asked, "What's wrong?"
"Didn't you say yesterday that you had a new cup you didn't need and that you wanted to give it to me? I don't have a cup to drink from."
Wu Yuerou understood what Han Jiangxue meant, "Oh, I'll get it for you."
Han Jiangxue felt that it was meaningless for Wu Yuerou to continue fighting with Ye Zhenzhen. Not only would she not be able to gain any advantage, but she would also be dragged down with her.
God knows what the netizens in the live broadcast room were saying about them. Ye Zhenzhen's actions were undoubtedly a slap to her and Wu Yuerou's faces in public.
She had asked Shen Yibo to apologize to An Ruilin, but in the end, An Ruilin apologized to Shen Yibo instead. Wasn't this just tearing her down in public, saying that her method of educating her child was wrong?
Ye Zhenzhen should be a vicious stepmother who had been slandered by the entire Internet. She should be here to be a comparison group for Han Jiangxue. She would not let Ye Zhenzhen continue getting her way.
After the farce between the children in the morning, all kinds of trending topics related to the parenting reality show "Mum's Company" rushed into the top ten trending searches on Weibo.
#Ye Zhenzhen protects her son with her strength, awesome!#
#How does a mother communicate with her child correctly#
#Wu Yuerou is the worst mother#
The most heated topic among these topics was naturally the farce of the two children in the morning. It involved three mothers and all kinds of opinions on the three mothers. Among them, three comments had the highest likes, and the number of likes was still increasing.
[Feet-picking Tomboy]: There are many spoiled children like An Ruilin around me. After seeing Wu Yuerou's behavior today, I feel that the child is not at fault. Rather, it's the adults who are at fault. Wu Yuerou did not guide the child well. If she could be like Ye Zhenzhen, An Ruilin would not be so naughty.
[Inborn pride]: Seeing Shen Yibo crying, I thought of the time when my cousin
snatched my Ultraman back when I was young. I refused to give it to him, and we ended up in a fight. In the end, my mum forced me to apologize to my cousin and even took my Ultraman away. Therefore, when I saw Ye Zhenzhen protect her child with such force today, I decided to be her fan. She is a good mother.
[Drunk with Raised Eyebrows]: I'm the mother of a three-year-old child. I really don't understand Han Jiangxue's way of thinking. What era is it now? Why is she still so old-fashioned? Even if her child has been wronged, she still asks her child to apologize to someone else's child. Why should she do that just because someone else's child cried? I really don't understand.
These comments were undoubtedly affirmation of Ye Zhenzhen's way of raising children.
With the appearance of the topics about the parenting reality show, more and more people paid attention to it. Even Ms. Xiao Tianai, a famous child expert in River City, liked the comment of the netizen, Inborn Pride.
Although the expert didn't say a word, her action of liking the comment raised the discussions about "Mum's Company" to another level.
With praise, there would naturally be slander. As such, more and more people came to criticize Ye Zhenzhen.
[What the hell? It's just a show. Do people actually believe in this?]
[You actually think that a vicious stepmother like Ye Jianjian is a good mother? What a joke]
[That's right. The good mothers are only Xiao Xue, as well as Xu Wanjia and Lin Qianqian. What has it got to do with Ye Jianjian?]
Regardless of whether it was praise or slander, Director Fei was pleasantly surprised by the statistics. His understanding of Ye Zhenzhen was refreshed again. At the same time, it also proved that his thoughts last night were correct.
After breakfast in the courtyard, Xiao Wen came forward to announce the next mission.
"Hello, mothers and children. Breakfast has ended. Next, you will have to settle your lunch by yourselves. The mission set by the program team is for mothers to bring their children to the villagers' homes to find a job in exchange for lunch, as well as bring back the ingredients needed for tonight's dinner and tomorrow's breakfast."
Xu Wanjia asked, "Do we have to go look for the mission points ourselves?"
Xiao Wen answered, "Yes, you have to find them yourself. You must go to the villagers' houses."
Everyone was speechless.
This mission was not difficult, but it wasn't easy either.
By the time they had finished their breakfast, it was already nine o'clock. In the countryside, most of the villagers had already gone out to do farm work at this time, and there were not many at home.
The five groups of guests split up and took action.
The first to find a job was Xu Wanjia and her daughter. They found a middle-aged couple who were harvesting corn. After hearing Xu Wanjia's request, they said that it was no problem at all.
Soon, Xu Wanjia and her daughter Baby Yiyi were busy harvesting corn.
After that, Wu Yuerou and her son found an old couple's house. Their family's farm work was picking cotton. They had to carry a basket on their backs to pick the cotton, and it didn't seem too difficult.
Han Jiangxue and her son went to the villager's house next door, which was also an elderly couple. They were going to dig sweet potatoes in the field today.
After knowing that sweet potatoes could be eaten, Shen Yibo jumped happily, "Yay! Yay! We're going to dig up sweet potatoes!"
The house Lin Qianqian and her mother found was quite lively. It was said that they were going to harvest paddy today and had thus invited their relatives to help. When they saw Lin Qianqian and her daughter, some villagers recognized them and welcomed them happily.
When they heard that Lin Qianqian and her daughter were going to help out for the sake of the variety show, the family was even happier.
[The villagers here are so nice and passionate.]
[Other than the remote location of Changle Village, the people there are really nice. I passed by this village when I went to climb Peace Mountain previously.]
[Me too. I went to climb Peace Mountain last year. I passed by this village and even went to the villagers' house for a meal. The people here are really nice.]
Among the five groups of guests, only Ye Zhenzhen and Song Yuchen held hands and visited a few houses only to find that all of them had their doors shut.
Song Yuchen was a little depressed.
"Can we find a job?"
If they couldn't find a job, they wouldn't have any lunch, nor food at night or tomorrow morning. Would he starve to death?
The more he thought about it, the more worried Song Yuchen became. He had never thought about what would happen if he went without food one day.
"Of course. Let's walk further."
Ye Zhenzhen also found the situation quite strange. When they left the house just now, Han Jiangxue had assigned routes to each of them and told them to go their separate ways to look for work at the villagers' houses. She hadn't thought so much about it then.
Now that she had come back to her senses, she realized that Han Jiangxue was really scheming.
That being said, they were still in the village, so it should not be impossible to find work.
However, there weren't many families on the road that she and Song Yuchen were walking on. They were either not at home all year round or had dogs in the homes but no owners.
Ye Zhenzhen recalled the original plot in the book. Han Jiangxue had also asked the original owner of this body to take this route, but she did not listen to her. Instead, she followed Han Jiangxue and eventually found a villager who was digging sweet potatoes.
Speaking of digging sweet potatoes, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly had an idea. If there really was no one living on this road, she would bring Song Yuchen to the fields to find work.
Although there was no one in the village, there should be many in the fields.
After walking for a few minutes, Song Yuchen was overjoyed as he pointed at a house with an open door not far away and said, "Hey! Mommy, look, there's an open door there."
Ye Zhenzhen was stunned by Song Yuchen's sudden call of "Mommy" and her heart was warm. Then, she looked in the direction Song Yuchen was pointing at.
It was obvious that this family was very rich. The house was a three-story bungalow, though it did not look new. It looked like it had experienced some time.
The interior of the courtyard looked huge, with two stone lions guarding the door. Looking inside from the white iron fence, the ground of the courtyard was covered with cement and was very clean.
Ye Zhenzhen walked to the door and asked, "Hello, is anyone there?"
No one answered.
Song Yuchen's childish voice also called out, "Hello, is anyone there?"
Ye Zhenzhen held Song Yuchen's hand and walked into the courtyard. She called out a few more times.
Just as she was about to give up and leave, the sound of the door opening came from inside the house, and a young man in his teens walked out with a tablet in his hand.
He stood on the steps of the mansion's main entrance, and his eyes were filled with impatience.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
