Dr. Jiang's Daily Adversities

The truth was not what it seemed. Tingxu was not interested in any celebrity, she just wanted to see her son whom she had not seen for two days.

However, she knew very well that there were too many people on the set and they would talk. Most of the time, she could not show what she truly felt. Otherwise, she would implicate not only herself but others too.

…

The children followed Yang Yu to the villagers’ fields.

“Children, your task this afternoon is to pull out all the radishes in this field. Do you understand?” Yang Yu instructed.

Pull out the radishes?

“Yes, yes!” the children chorused.

“You must pull them out properly and not break them because these radishes have to be sold. If they are broken, can they be sold?”

Of course not! Although the children were young, they understood.

Yang Yu was carrying Yu’er and holding Ningning’s hand with his free hand. It was obvious that he was very adept at handling children. One could also tell from the way he carried Yu’er.

The children were told that these radishes were grown by Granny Hu. Her children had gone out of the village to work and they did not come back most of the time. Granny Hu was growing vegetables to sell to supplement the household expenses, otherwise, she would have to go hungry.

Hearing Granny Hu’s plight, everyone was vying to vouch for themselves.

“Village Chief, I won’t break the radishes,” Shi Tou was the first to promise.

The other children also echoed, “Yeah, we won’t break them too!”

Putting Yu’er down, Yang Yu said, “Okay, I believe all of you. You are the best. Let’s start now.”

The children had already changed into their rain boots so that when they got into the field, they wouldn’t stick to the mud.

It had been raining for a few days in Luhu Island, hence the field was wet. However, there was an advantage – the soil was very loose. Therefore it was easier to pull out the radishes.

Soon, the children were huffing and puffing to pull out the radishes with all their might.

“Village Chief, we have pulled out some radishes!”

Yang Yu nodded, “Very good, continue.”

Although their speed was slow, they eventually pulled out a pile of radishes.

During noon break, the staff handed the children water and snacks. The children ate them obediently. No one made a fuss.

…

On the beach, a fishing boat slowly docked.

The crew jumped down and secured the boat. The dads walked out of the cabin dragging their harvest from the sea.

“Watch your steps,” the crew cautioned.

“Okay,” the dads acknowledged.

“Mr. Mo, do you want to get down first?”

Boyuan just nodded and dragged his snakeskin bag forward. His pants were already wet, and he had already rolled them up. After estimating the distance between the boat and the shore, he let go of the snakeskin bag and jumped off the boat right onto the shore, then he dragged the snakeskin bag off the boat.

Ye Hao and Chi En also got off the boat the same way.

The three of them started to unload their snakeskin bags into a big basin. There were all kinds of seafood, with fish being the majority naturally, all still alive and kicking.

“F*ck, get off me!”

Boyuan and Chi En looked towards the source of the voice and saw Ye Hao jumping around, trying to dislodge a large lobster clinging onto his thigh.

What luck to be pinched by a lobster on the thigh? It even drew a long thin line of blood.
