Switched Life:I Went Viral on a Family Variety Show-Chapter 70 I Spoil My Friends
Chapter 70: Chapter 70 I Spoil My Friends
Sang Ning finally let go of Director Sun’s hand, bent down to grab a handful of money from the money bag, counted a small stack, and handed it to Director Sun: "Director Sun, take this. It’s the 6,000 yuan we owe you."
Director Sun’s hands trembled slightly as he accepted the money, clearly infuriated: "Didn’t we agree to round it off to eight thousand? Aren’t you cutting this a bit too much?"
His tone was filled with rage, but he didn’t dare to do anything about it, so he just stared with wide eyes.
Sang Ning smiled with pursed lips, responding without any guilt or embarrassment, "No matter how tough it gets, we can’t make it tough on the guests. We still need to record the program for a long time. What’s wrong with giving us more money to improve our lives?"
Having said that, she picked up the money bag and glanced at Xiang Daqiang: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go pick peaches for the sponsor."
Xiang Daqiang was dumbfounded and replied woodenly, "Oh, oh... okay, I’m going."
Leaving with Sang Ning, after taking a few steps, he couldn’t help but look back.
Director Sun was rubbing his shiny forehead with one hand, gritting his teeth and stomping his feet continuously.
Xiang Daqiang pursed his lips, indicating he couldn’t bear to watch. What a pitiful man indeed.
"Come on, come on, everyone worked hard today. Let’s distribute the money!"
Sang Ning walked into the orchard, put down the money bag on the ground, and clapped her hands in the air in a strong and rhythmic manner.
"Yo, sis, are you here to split the loot with us?"
Sang Chuan strolled over with his hands in his pockets, whistling nonchalantly.
"Your speech isn’t proper, neither is your walk!" Hu Zhi, who was behind him, lifted her right leg to kick, leaving a shoe print on his backside.
The momentarily cool Sang Chuan instantly broke his cool act, losing his balance and staggering forward, with his hands unknowingly already pulled out of his pockets, flailing dramatically in the air.
[Sang Chuan: That year, I didn’t know what an opponent was with my hands in my pockets until my mom gave me a solid smack.]
Sang Chuan stumbled to Sang Ning, while the other guests slowly gathered around.
Sang Ning first counted 4,000 yuan and handed it to Grandma Song, smiling slightly: "Grandma Song, you’ve worked hard today. This is your share."
"Little Sang girl, you’re really something. I heard you connected with a factory and sold all the yellow peaches in this orchard at once!"
Grandma Song said this while drawing a large circle with her hands in an extremely exaggerated manner, not sparing any praise for Sang Ning: "Impressive, impressive, truly remarkable."
Sang Ning smiled in response, then counted another 4,000 yuan and handed it to Qin Kai: "Brother Kai, this is for you and Director Qin."
Qin Kai is quite sincere. Since starting work, he barely took a good rest to complete his tasks as quickly as possible. Now, large drops of sweat were falling from his forehead. He wiped his sweat with the back of his right hand while extending his left hand to receive the money from Sang Ning.
"No wonder they say the fruits of labor are the sweetest, getting money from picking peaches all day feels better than my acting pay!" Qin Kai reverently kissed the money he received.
"Brother Kai, why don’t you stop acting and just pick peaches from now on," Song Shiye teased from the side.
"No, no, acting is my passion, a lifelong pursuit. But I might consider taking on a role as a farmer in the future," Qin Kai quickly straightened his slightly goofy smile, scratching his head as he said this.
"Sister Yun, this is for your family."
As Sang Ning handed the money to Chuyun, a smile spread on Chuyun’s face. It was the first time Sang Ning had initiated a conversation with her.
Chuyun found the child quite polite and well-mannered. She wondered why she had found her difficult to get along with before. First impressions can really be deceiving.
Watching Sang Ning hand the money to Chuyun, Chu Wei’s eyes lit up with delight and surprise. She didn’t expect Sang Ning to actually sell the yellow peaches. Suddenly, she found Sang Ning a bit cool.
After distributing money to Chuwei’s family, Sang Ning counted another 4,000 yuan for Shen Yi.
Shen Yi accepted the money without saying anything extra, just nodding slightly and politely replied, "Thank you."
Sang Ning didn’t say much, after all, Shen Yi had always been so aloof.
Finally, only Chu Xi’s family hadn’t received their share. Sang Ning scanned the area and happened to meet Li Sulan’s gaze.
Li Sulan and Chu Xi stood together on the outer circle. Seeing Sang Ning looking at her, she quickly turned her head aside.
After a while, still not hearing Sang Ning say she would give them money, she turned back to see Sang Ning already tying up the plastic bag, evidently not planning to distribute money to her and Chu Xi.
Li Sulan felt a bit angry. If she didn’t step forward, would Sang Ning not take the initiative to approach her?
Grabbing Chu Xi’s hand, she squeezed past Qin Kai and Qin Jiaxiang, and confronted Sang Ning with anger: "Sang Ning, are you deliberately targeting me and Xiao Xi? You gave money to the other groups, why not us?"
Sang Ning wasn’t keen on offering money to others out of her own accord. She had always disliked Li Sulan, so why bother indulging her.
She lowered her gaze, emotionlessly responded with an "Oh", and coldly replied, "I thought Mrs. Chu looked down on this little money, her chin almost reaches the sky."
[I think Li Sulan does look down on this money. 4,000 yuan, what can it do for her? I can’t figure it out.]
[Even if she looks down on it, she can’t refuse, right? We’re filming a show here, not at the Chu Family where she can spend recklessly, unless she doesn’t want to eat.]
"Who said I look down on it? Haven’t you seen I’ve been working hard all day? What, do you plan on deducting mine and Xiao Xi’s wages?"
Li Sulan stared straight at Sang Ning, emitting a low humph from her nose.
Under normal circumstances, these 4,000 yuan wouldn’t mean much to her. Although she didn’t pick a lot of peaches, she sweated and exerted herself. After all this hard work, she deserves a reward!
Sang Ning ironically questioned Chu Xi, raising an eyebrow slightly, "Xixi, do you want this money?"
Chu Xi pursed her lips, her cheeks blushing, making it impossible to hide her embarrassment.
Li Sulan’s intention was clear. She wanted the money, and naturally, Chu Xi couldn’t say otherwise.
"I do."
But even just saying that one word felt like it took all her strength, squeezing a reluctant smile onto her face, her cheek muscles slightly stiff.
Damn Sang Ning, just wait!
"Alright then, I’m very spoiling towards friends, since you want it, I’ll give it to you."
Sang Ning took Chu Xi’s hand, placed the money in her palm, clenched her four fingers into a fist while holding it, with a slightly bent and faintly false smile.
As her gaze shifted, Chu Xi’s body unexpectedly softened a bit.
Damn, how did she find Sang Ning somewhat attractive!
