Chapter 958
Lorelei, Poppy, and Honey, which one is not more precious than her? What is Alani doing here pretending to be a lady?
When James didn't know how to respond, Romeo, the tough guy, just shrugged and said, "Sorry, beauty, I only help my sister Poppy."
Upon hearing Romeo's direct refusal, James also chimed in, "Poppy is my own sister."
Alani felt a sharp pain in her chest at the words, are these two guys blind? She looks so innocent and beautiful, yet she couldn't elicit any sympathy from them?
So she pitifully looked at Jacky again, "Jacky, how about we... how about we stick together?"
"I'm actually about the same age as you. We're peers, working together and progressing together, earning money together is a good idea."
Jacky's rejection was even more straightforward, and he even explained some reasoning.
Lorelei gave Alani a cold look, this woman really has the attitude of 'might is right', quite shocking indeed.
Terry, on the other hand, smiled cheerfully, "Let's go out and see what work the villagers are doing."
Though she was old, she had taken good care of herself, with her figure still vibrant in all respects.
Sylvia glanced at her back, her eyes flickering slightly.
She knew why Terry had come this time. When Terry was young, she was hurt by a scum man and had several abortions, but the scum man didn't marry her. She could never have children again.
She set up an orphanage and adopted some children. In the earlier years, it was fine, but as she grew older and was out of work now, it was difficult to sustain the orphanage.
But Terry had never mentioned this for marketing purposes.
Truly good people don't constantly promote their good deeds, only those who seek fame and recognition will never stop marketing.
This was something she admired about Terry, which is why she chose Terry, along with Jacky.
The group of them left the yard together, now is the time for cooking in the evening, the smoke rising from kitchens in the village, under the setting sun, had a unique charm.
The village had always relied on growing fruit trees for a living, but due to this year's drought, the harvest of fruit trees was not as good as in previous years, leaving a surplus that couldn't be sold.
Alani followed behind Poppy and Lorelei quietly. After a few steps, she pitifully said, "How about the three of us girls stick together? I've walked so far and climbed the mountain for so long, my feet hurt and I'm so tired. Why don't I wait here for you? We are classmates, you can give me a little money for food later."
Lorelei chuckled, "Alani, the rules say we each do our own work, not that we can do yours for you."
Poppy hesitated for a moment, and after hearing Lorelei reject Alani, she didn't say anything either. She looked around, and just happened to see an old man watering his vegetable garden, so she went over to offer help. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
The old man was very happy and immediately agreed.
Seeing this, Lorelei also went over and started working with Poppy.
The old man had two buckets of water there, and the two girls each took a dipper and started pouring water into the vegetable garden.
Alani stood awkwardly in place, not moving.
But no one paid any attention to her and began to find work to do.
As long as you wanted to work in the village, there were activities everywhere.
James and the other two boys also went to find work. Despite being young and energetic, they were tired but still persisted.
They helped several villagers pick fruit, as the fruit harvest was good and needed to be picked.
The fruit trees covered a large area, nearly dominating the entire hilltop, full of ripe fruits hanging from the branches.
Gradually, more and more people joined in the fruit picking.
The villagers were very happy, suddenly having so many people helping with the picking, how could they not be happy?
Baskets of fruits were piled up, bringing joy to the scene.
Terry, being old, had run around for so long and was pale from exhaustion. She wanted to keep working but Sylvia stopped her, "You should rest for a while."
Half an hour later, Poppy and Lorelei finished watering the vegetables for the old man, and the production team gave them twenty yuan each for food.
Excitedly holding the twenty yuan, she said, "Great, old man, is there a small store or something in the village? I want to go buy some food."
The old man told her its location, while the three boys were panting from picking fruits, each earning fifty yuan.
"I never thought I would have to go through such hardships to earn these few tens of yuan." Holding the hard-earned fifty yuan in his hand, Romeo was about to shed tears.
Normally, he and James would spend several times this amount on buying sneakers, clothes, and having fun with a single gesture.
Now he was experiencing the difficulty of earning money.
James looked at the calluses on his hands, then at his older brother and sister-in-law, and suddenly felt immense respect. "If not for my older brother and sister-in-law, we would probably still be spoiled young masters!"
In the mountain village at this moment, Alani is pouting, asking Lorelei for money, "You earned twenty bucks, give me five, and ask James and Romeo for another five. Then I'll have fifteen, enough to buy instant noodles and sausage. If not, just give me two. We're good friends, can you bear to see me go hungry? Friends should help each other!"
Lorelei felt a bit annoyed but still gave her five bucks. "Instant noodles are 4. 5 a pack, go buy them."
"But I also want sausage... and maybe some pickled vegetables..." Alani pitifully turned to Poppy, "Poppy, have you spent all your money? Can you give me two bucks?"
Poppy earns money very hard, so she spends it very cautiously. She only bought instant noodles and couldn't even bear to buy sausage for herself.
But seeing Lorelei give, she had to give Alani five dollars too.
"Thank you all." Alani happily went to buy something to eat, while the barrage was filled with curses.
Veteran actor Terry sat there wiping sweat, earning thirty dollars, but Sylvia and Franklin earned more, so they gave her some more money.
Everyone was new here and unfamiliar with everything, so almost everyone chose to eat instant noodles.
Alani was extremely frustrated, thinking that participating in the show would bring exposure and money, but it turned out to be just for eating instant noodles.
She complained bitterly but didn't dare to quit easily like Chelsea, after all, this was still a show; what if it gained popularity?
Although she felt it might not gain any popularity.
However, what she didn't know was that this show exploded directly.
It trended on Twitter and TikTok. Every aspect of their live broadcast was captured by attentive netizens and turned into short videos, which were then posted on these platforms.
The download count of Maskelyne Entertainment's video app skyrocketed because no television station had bought the show before, and major video websites didn't have high expectations for it.
So, in the end, they chose to livestream it on Maskelyne Entertainment's video app.
Unexpectedly, the attention from netizens surged. Many found their clumsy work amusing and shared it widely.
Some netizens thought it was a great charity show, especially since it brought attention to remote mountainous areas that they wouldn't normally see, so they shared it as well.
Word spread like wildfire.
The power of netizens spread like a carpet, crazy and unstoppable.
It's said that it's not stimulating enough recently. Alright, let's arrange for something more exciting tomorrow.
