After Being an Improper Control Group as an Abandoned Wealthy Wife, She Effortlessly Came Out on Top

Chapter 78: You Couldn’t Afford It Even If You Go bankrupt!

Translator: Atlas Studios       Editor: Atlas Studios

Initially, the director just wanted them to show some appreciation. Who knew that each thing they gave up would be more ridiculous than the previous one?

The items handed in by the other three groups of guests were considered normal, but when Meng Chuyuan’s big diamond ring was placed on the table, the nature of the game changed.

The director looked at the diamond ring. It was like a hot potato, making him feel like he didn’t know how to handle it.

When the others realized that Meng Chuyuan had handed over the diamond ring, they admired her from the bottom of their hearts. She could actually be so serious about a mission and take out such a precious thing.

However, the rules had already been announced. No matter what, the variety show had to continue.

After the director calmed down, he continued the live-stream. “The production team has already felt your sincerity through what everyone has handed over.” The guests were waiting for the director to announce the results.

[That’s right. My Sister Meng has already handed in the big diamond ring. How can she not be sincere?]

[Director, that’s someone else’s wedding diamond ring. It’s temporarily mortgaged to you. You have to take good care of it. If you lose it, you might not be able to afford it even if you go bankrupt.]

[Director: I’m not even worth the cost of this diamond ring. Now, not only do I have to provide for my ancestors, but I also have to keep my ancestor’s things safe.]

[Sister Meng is uninvolved. It feels like she’s watching a show. It’s almost as if she wasn’t the one who handed in the diamond ring just now. Hahaha.]

[Warning on the trending topic ahead, guys. I’m gonna check-in on this famous scene first.]

As for the four items they handed over, according to their value, Meng Chuyuan’s diamond ring definitely won. Therefore, when the director asked Meng Chuyuan’s team to choose first, no one had any objections.

Meng Chuyuan chose 20 catties of rice, then the staff brought them to visit the designated impoverished families.

As for the remaining three groups, the director was still conflicted about how to rank them. After all, they were all celebrities and everything they had on them was branded. If they did not rank them properly, even if the guests did not throw a tantrum, the audience watching the live-stream would also get restless.

However, it was indeed inconvenient to reveal the price of their items in the live-stream. The three groups of guests also knew that the director was in a difficult situation, so they all made concessions and followed the ladies first rule to let the Liao sisters choose first.

Liao Jiake didn’t choose cooking oil, because the pair of earrings they handed over was relatively cheap among the other two sets of items, so she chose fruit.

Ting Jiu’s team chose milk, and thus the remaining bucket of cooking oil naturally fell to Qi Zhen’s team.

At this moment, Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen had already arrived at the house of their visiting partner.

The family they came to visit was special because they did not settle on land but lived on an old fishing boat.

Meng Chuyuan was not the only one who was shocked. Even the audience found it unbelievable.

[Oh my god!! So there really are people who use the boat as their home and the sea as their farm! But this boat is too old and worn out.]

[This fishing boat looks quite small. It feels difficult to even put down a bed.

How can they live here?]

[Save me. My useless tears immediately came out of my eyes.]

[I was just moved to tears by the vegetable farmers in the previous episode.

This variety show is causing me to tear up again. Boohoo.]

They had been out to sea often in the past two days and had taken many boats, but they had never seen such a backward wooden boat.

The boat was moored on the shore, and Meng Chuyuan’s team boarded directly.

As the boat could not carry so many people, the cameraman did not dare to go up and could only stand on the shore to take photos.

The fisherman sensed that someone had boarded the ship and walked out of the cabin.

It was an elderly man with short black-and-white hair and dark skin. He wore an old black coat and held an old-fashioned enamel-mark iron cup in his hand. In his other hand, he held a pair of bamboo chopsticks.

From the looks of it, they were eating.

Meng Chuyuan smiled and said politely, “Uncle, we’re here to see you.”

The uncle was stunned. “Hello.”

“Did you just have lunch?”

“Yes, I just came back from catching fish.” The uncle had not even finished half of the food in his cup. It was obvious that he had just started eating. [It’s past two o’clock and they’re only having lunch now. Boohoo.]

[Why isn’t there even a decent bowl? Isn’t this too tragic?]

[It feels like Sister Meng is the first to speak every time. Her sociability is no joke, hahahaha.]

[Getting in close contact with fishermen’s lives has also made sea life accessible knowledge for the general public. Many children in cities don’t even know that some things are hard to come by. You can say that the production team has been very diligent.]

[When I saw this uncle’s helpless look, I thought of my father. The last time I secretly went back, he also looked like he was at a loss when he saw me.]

[Fishing depends on the mood of the heavens. If the wind is stronger today, he won’t be able to go out to sea and catch fish. Moreover, there seems to be restricted time periods where fishing is forbidden in some places, right?]

Meng Chuyuan knew that he was eating, so she did not chat too much. Then, she called Lu Jinsen up and asked him to bring the rice over.

“We brought you a bag of rice. It’s a small token of our appreciation. We hope you can accept it.”

When the uncle saw them take out a bag of rice, he seemed to be at a loss. “How can I accept this…’

He did not know that someone would come today, so he was not mentally prepared at all.

Later, during his conversation with Meng Chuyuan, the uncle found out that they were recording a variety show and specially came to visit him.

When the uncle saw them appear, he stopped eating and invited them into the cabin to sit for a while.

Although they had managed to catch them after they returned from sea, they had not come at the right time. Meng Chuyuan did not want to delay the fisherman’s meal.

The uncle hesitated, then said warmly, “Then I’ll go in and get two stools for you to sit on.”

“Thank you.”

After a while, the uncle took two bamboo stools and invited them to sit for a while.

Because he was too embarrassed to leave them outside, the uncle also sat outside and accompanied them while eating.

In order to film better, the production team finally prepared an aerial camera to show the audience in the live-stream a closer look.

Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen had been on the ship for some time. Other than the friendly uncle in front of them, no one else appeared in the cabin.

“Uncle, do you live alone?” Meng Chuyuan asked curiously.

Hearing this, the uncle nodded and said, “Yes, I’m alone.”

Meng Chuyuan could feel a strong sense of loneliness from the middle-aged man, but he still greeted them with a smile, giving off an optimistic vibe.

His wife passed away due to illness in her early years and did not leave behind any children. All these years, he had been fishing for a living and was used to drifting on the sea.

To a fisherman like him, this sea was his wealth, and this small wooden boat was his home..
