Chapter 98: Chapter 97: Are you listening to the young lady or not?

Mianmian looked back, but all she saw before her eyes was black resentment filled with numerous negative emotions, making it impossible for her to discern the source of the voice.

Mianmian’s little hand clenched tightly, her palm full of cold sweat.

Chu Ye noticed Mianmian was in a bad state and furrowed his brow, his eyes exuding concern.

What on earth was wrong with this village? Why was it affecting Mianmian like this?

After the tour of the Pomegranate Garden, Yi Min led the little buns back to the village. Along the way, villagers greeted him, including a half-grown boy who talked to Yi Min while surreptitiously glancing at Mianmian and Gu Youyou with an odd smile on his face.

As they left the Pomegranate Garden, Mianmian no longer covered her nose.

Being stared at by the half-grown boy, she looked back at him and couldn’t help but puff up her cheeks, feeling unhappy. She didn’t like being looked at by him.

Mianmian puffed up her cheeks, and the boy’s gaze became even more brazen, looking up and down at Mianmian’s little bean body, his teeth barely touching as he did so.

At this moment, Chu Ye and the Yin siblings positioned themselves in front of Mianmian, their three pairs of eyes staring at the boy.

The boy glanced at the camera behind him and said to Yi Min, "City kids look so tender and delicate, not like us country folks."

Yi Min frowned at the boy’s audacious words, "Liao Zhe, don’t talk nonsense, if you’ve got nothing else to do, go home and rest, and don’t loiter around."

Upon hearing Yi Min, Liao Zhe lifted his chin defiantly, "The village head sure throws his weight around, even daring to boss me around?"

"Not at all," Yi Min was unyielding, "I am only the village head thanks to everyone’s support. The village is filming a variety show, which is also a source of income. I just want to leave a good impression on the audience; I am doing this for everyone’s benefit."

"Hehe," Liao Zhe sneered, sticking his tongue out at the corner of his mouth, "Well then, if you say so, I can’t do much about it. I’ll stop troubling you all and just stay put."

Liao Zhe crossed his arms behind his head, carelessly whistling as he walked away.

Yi Min apologized to Mianmian, "Sorry about that, the kid is just like that. Uncle has already scolded them for you, don’t mind him. Alright, let’s all head back, we’ll have dinner together in a while."

"Mm," Mianmian walked towards the house.

She wanted to discuss the village’s issues with her seventh grandchild, and also...

Mianmian looked at the large pomegranate in Gu Youyou’s hands.

Gu Youyou had already forcefully broken the skin near the top of the pomegranate and was now attacking it with her little fingers, looking eager to eat it.

"Youyou, are you listening to Little Auntie?" Mianmian folded her hands behind her back and spoke to Gu Youyou earnestly.

Gu Youyou’s eyes moved from the pomegranate, and she smiled at Mianmian, then quickly looked back at the pomegranate in her hands, replying, "Little Auntie is Mianmian, and I listen to Mianmian."

Mianmian nodded her small chin, "Youyou is a good and obedient baby, so we’ll be obedient and not eat this pomegranate, alright?"

"Ah?" Gu Youyou doubted she heard it correctly, her eyes widening, "Why can’t we eat it? I can smell it; this pomegranate must be very sweet."

Mianmian extended her hand, "Even if it’s sweet, we can’t eat it, you said you’d listen to Mianmian."

Gu Youyou furrowed her brows, looking at Mianmian and then at the big pomegranate in her arms, her eyes full of struggle.

The child’s expressions were unmasked, her conflict obvious, causing the audience in the Live Broadcast Room to laugh.

"Little Auntie really hit Little Youyou with a century’s dilemma! Is it the pomegranate or Little Auntie’s words, Little Youyou’s head must be aching right now."

"So why can’t we eat the pomegranate? I’m a pomegranate enthusiast myself, and I was thinking of buying some if they started selling them on the live stream."

"Regardless of the reason, I trust Little Auntie has her reasons! If she says no, then it’s a no!"

"Speaking as an Agriculture University student, I must say those pomegranates in the garden looked unnaturally red. I rewound and checked again; from every angle captured earlier, the pomegranates were uniformly red, as if they had been dyed."

Following the comment from the Agriculture University student, many people rewound to review the footage from the Pomegranate Garden tour. After revisiting the entire segment, they started sharing their thoughts in the comments section of the Broadcasting Room.

"It’s true, it really is strange. Sunlight has a major impact on fruits; differences in light can affect the coloring of fruits."

"Just looking at the pomegranates we just bought, the ones from the Pomegranate Garden are indeed weird in terms of size, shape, and color."

"Supporting Little Auntie in not eating pomegranates, Youyou, please hurry up and give the pomegranates to Little Auntie."

"No, are you guys really only seeing the pomegranates? Why do I also see something creepy? Look closely, is there a strange little pointy corner here?" [image]

This netizen who pointed out the problem considerately attached a screenshot.

When everyone opened it and saw, there was something circled in the lower left corner of the picture that looked like a brown-patterned pointed tail.

"Looking at the live-stream with a magnifying glass? You can even notice such a small detail."

"We need to tag the museum guy here, see if he can give us an answer!"

Everyone tagged a blogger who answers netizens’ questions about various strange creatures and plants, and to their surprise, the blogger replied immediately in the comment section of the live broadcast room using an Instagram account under the same name: "I’ve seen this picture too and was just discussing it with a biologist friend. I didn’t expect to get tagged so many times in just a while. My friend also sent me a screenshot, saying it looks a bit like the tail of a red chain snake, and I did find the patterns to be consistent."

"This snake is found all over our country, so it’s not unusual to find it in a Pomegranate Garden. Don’t be too surprised, it’s nothing."

With the explanation from the museum guy, everyone’s interest in this matter decreased by a lot.

Back in the live-stream, after their long discussion, Gu Youyou pursed her lips and passed the pomegranate to Mianmian.

"Youyou really wants to eat it," said Gu Youyou with a bit of a grievance, "But since Mianmian said we can’t eat it, then I won’t. Here you go!"

Toward the end, it was as if she had let go of her obsession with the pomegranates, unusually decisive.

Seeing Gu Youyou willing to let go of her favorite thing, Mianmian, imitating how her mom used to praise her, touched Gu Youyou’s head: "Good girl, our Youyou knows how to resist temptation. You definitely won’t suffer a big loss in the future."

Gu Youyou, being praised and pet on the head by Mianmian, immediately smiled as bright as a flower.

Wang Ze couldn’t help himself and pushed Gu Youyou aside, handing over the pomegranate to Mianmian: "I won’t eat it either, I won’t eat it either!"

Then he opened his eyes wide and expectantly stared at Mianmian.

Mianmian treated him just as equally, patting Wang Ze’s head as well: "Zeze, you’re good too. You won’t suffer a big loss in the future, got it? Not just these two, but we can’t eat the later pomegranates either, okay?"

Gu Youyou and Wang Ze nodded together, extremely obedient: "Okay, if Mianmian says not to eat them, we won’t eat them."

Mianmian was still not quite at ease and instructed Ying Fang and Ying Miao: "They’ve promised now. If you see them eating pomegranates, help knock the pomegranates away."

Ying Fang and Ying Miao looked somewhat dazed.

Hearing Mianmian’s words, they shook their heads: "Okay, Mianmian."

Mianmian tilted her head, as she had long noticed the Dark Qi lingering around Ying Fang and Ying Miao. She would have to deal with that shortly.

Thinking this, Mianmian then said to Gu Youyou and Wang Ze: "I have something very important to discuss with my seventh grandchild. You two should go back to your mom for now, is that alright?"

Gu Youyou and Wang Ze were not too happy about separating from Mianmian and looked a little sad: "Oh."

They knew Mianmian liked obedient children, so they didn’t want to make a bad impression on her, bowing their heads sadly.

Right then, the Su Family’s bodyguard timely said to the two little ones: "Let’s go, come with uncle to your mom’s."

Then the bodyguard led the two little ones away to their mom’s room.

The sad little ones didn’t notice that when Mianmian mentioned going to mom’s, she hadn’t said to go to dad’s. They thought Chu Ye would also be sent away, unaware that Chu Ye was going upstairs with Mianmian to the room assigned to Su Chenfei.

Chu Ye guessed that what Mianmian wanted to talk about was important, so he naturally said to the Su Family bodyguard: "Please go and ask my dad to come over."
