Stolen Life of the Poor Girl, Top Luxury Family's Group Favor

Chapter 47

[It's really pitiful to split food among four people. How can the production team bear to watch this?]

[Ning Heng is still grinning like an idiot. Listen carefully, your Brother Sheng doesn't need to do anything to get a share.]

"There's also milk, a quarter for each person," Li Xiaoya said, magically producing a plastic bottle cut in half.

She also told them, "It's very clean. The teacher gave it to me as a prize during the sports meet. I sold the water inside to others."

[She can even sell that separately? She's a business genius!]

Li Xiaoya used the two halves of the plastic bottle to pour a little milk for each person. She gave the flat-bottomed part to Ning Heng and the part with the cap to Xu Ruying.

[The more I watch, the more interesting Li Xiaoya becomes. She doesn't say it out loud, but she clearly distinguishes between people in her heart. She gives the flat-bottomed part to Ning Heng because he came earlier and their relationship is closer.]

Finally, Li Xiaoya and Sheng Yuxiao shared the last of the milk using the small bowl from her lunchbox.

Xu Ruying suddenly exclaimed, "I've never found milk so delicious before."

"Wait a minute!" She suddenly realized, "I'm not here to film your show. I have my own money. Why don't I just go buy some food? Your school has a small shop, right?"

Xu Ruying put down the half egg she had just received and rushed off to buy food.

Sheng Yuxiao didn't even blink as he picked up that half and ate it.

[Haha, Young Master Sheng, how can you be so domineering?]

However, Sheng Yuxiao forcefully gave his own half to Li Xiaoya to eat.

[It looks both heartbreaking and funny, yet heartwarming at the same time.]

[When I was young, our family was poor. My siblings and I also shared food like this. Wah, it's bringing back memories.]

Ning Heng also enjoyed this act of sharing food. He sighed, "This is what you call sharing hardships, right?"

Unexpectedly, Sheng Yuxiao retorted, "What hardship? Where's the hardship?"

[Yes, yes, yes. In your eyes, Young Master Sheng, life in Li Family Village is just wonderful, isn't it? What hardship?]

Soon, Xu Ruying's bodyguard returned with a bag: "These are what the young miss bought for you to eat."

The production team had to stand up and intervene: "This isn't following the rules, is it?"

Sheng Yuxiao casually took out a bottle of iced tea from the bag and squinted at the name: "Kang Shuaifu? What's this?"

He pulled out another: "Yue Li Yue?"

And another: "Wang Zi?... What are all these things?"

Shortly after, Xu Ruying returned, puzzled: "Why are all the snack packages here misprinted? I wanted to buy some sachima and such, but there weren't any. Even the bread they're selling is expired."

"It's not misprinted, it's counterfeit," Sheng Yuxiao handed the snacks back to her. "You enjoy them slowly."

Xu Ruying: "..."

[Haha, what are all these? Xu Ruying originally wanted to show off, but now her face has turned green.]

Fake or not, they still gathered around to muddle through lunch.

Sheng Yuxiao pondered, "Why don't we go share the principal's lunch next time?"

Ning Heng thought it was a good idea.

Xu Ruying: "Isn't that considered robbery?"

Ning Heng retorted, "How can it be robbery if everyone agrees to it?"

[It's hard to imagine what kind of life Li Xiaoya led before the production team arrived, when even eating is so difficult.]

[A life where she didn't have to share food among four people or take care of four simpletons.]

[Damn, the comment above made me laugh like a rooster.]

[Why four?]

[Don't forget about Qin Sui.]

[Qin Sui, thank your ancestors for eight generations.]

Xu Ruying managed to endure until school was over.

Then the "family of three" directly expanded to a "family of four."

The production team felt this was inappropriate, but no one could persuade Xu Ruying to leave. She argued, "I'm not taking your appearance fee, I'm giving you a free reality show. Aren't you taking advantage of me?"

The production team couldn't refute that.

They walked out of the school, onto the main road, and then turned onto a small path between the fields.

Li Xiaoya walked in front, followed by Sheng Yuxiao, then Ning Heng, and finally Xu Ruying.

Xu Ruying suddenly felt like she was being ostracized.

[Li Xiaoya really lives up to her name. It's like a mother duck leading her ducklings into the water, with a string of followers behind...]

[I have to say it again today: this family can't do without Li Xiaoya!]

After walking a few steps, Li Xiaoya suddenly turned back and said, "Follow our footprints, that way you won't fall."

Xu Ruying couldn't help but ask, "Why? Don't you fall?"

Li Xiaoya nodded, her pigtails bobbing up and down. She said, "After falling many times, you stop falling."

Xu Ruying fell silent and obediently followed the footprints in front of her.

Every footprint Li Xiaoya left was repeatedly covered.

Suddenly, some viewers in the comments felt deeply moved.

[Before, Li Xiaoya had to walk a long mountain path alone, regardless of winter or summer, cold or heat, whether it was light or dark, she had to walk even by moonlight. And the path she walked was very lonely, with no one to accompany her, always just a single line of footprints.]

[But now, more people are walking with her. Every step she takes, someone follows. She's no longer the lonely Li Xiaoya in the small mountain village.]

What was originally just a viewer's heartfelt comment was screenshotted and shared on other social media platforms. Before the day's live stream had even ended, the screenshot had already gone viral.

[This passage is quite tear-jerking.]

[Could this be considered the redemption literature of the year?]

The buzz on social media platforms further fueled interest in the show.

As a result, more netizens were attracted to see what Li Xiaoya was really like.

At the village chief's house.

Li Song had been waiting anxiously for who knows how long.

Xu Ruying's delayed return made him worry that he had failed to fulfill his daughter's instructions again.

Just as he was thinking this, Xu Ruying entered.

"Were you waiting for me?" Xu Ruying asked in surprise.

Li Song nodded repeatedly, saying, "I had prepared lunch for you, but you didn't come back."

"It's alright, I'll take a shower first and then come down to eat."

"Okay, okay, I'll make dinner for you anew."

Xu Ruying had now resumed her young lady demeanor, but only she knew how urgently and frantically she rushed into the bathroom.

After showering, drying her hair, and changing into new clothes, Xu Ruying finally let out a sigh of relief.

She opened the door and went downstairs. Before she got close, she could smell a strong aroma of meat.

"This is..." Xu Ruying looked at the five dishes on the table.

"Braised beef, mushroom meatballs, Dongpo pork, stir-fried bamboo shoots, mixed mushroom stew... Do you see any dishes you like?" Li Song asked carefully.

Xu Ruying didn't think about whether the abundance of dishes was wasteful.

She hadn't expected that compared to the lunch she had with Li Xiaoya and the others, this was far too extravagant.

She had only one thought.

"This food is prepared for me, right?"

"Yes."

Xu Ruying made a grand gesture, signaling to her bodyguard: "Take it all to Li Xiaoya's house!"

Xu Ruying thought smugly to herself, I'm bringing them so many delicious dishes, surely they'll worship me now? Sheng Yuxiao is hard to impress, and well, Ning Heng is a bit tricky too.

But at the very least!

At least that kid will admire me, right?

Li Song, standing behind her, nearly died of anger on the spot: "Where are you taking it? Li Xiaoya's house?!"

The last part of his sentence changed pitch due to extreme jealousy and shock.

Jing Jing was right, Li Xiaoya really was her stumbling block!
