Chapter 45: Shouldn’t it be the Husband

Chapter 45

Shen Tang waited for Gu Huaian to reply, but he just edited his message over and over again and finally only said "Go to sleep early".

Shen Tang said she had something to say but didn't know if she should say it or not.

She angrily threw her phone aside and prepared to sleep.

After lying with her eyes closed for a while, she laughed, she simply couldn't fall asleep.

Shen Tang felt it was necessary to take revenge, there is a saying "an eye for an eye".

So Shen Tang opened WeChat and said to Gu Huaian: "Actually—"

Then she turned off her phone and went to sleep.

On the other end, Gu Huaian did wait for a while as Shen Tang expected, but did not get the rest of the sentence. His heart felt hooked, extremely uncomfortable.

However, he soon reacted and laughed softly.

Perhaps even he himself didn't realize there was affection in his voice.

The next morning when Shen Tang woke up, she only felt back pain, probably because she was usually too lazy, and suddenly did too much work yesterday, her muscles couldn't take it.

"Ow!"

She simply stretched and then washed up and went out.

The others were still not awake.

When Shen Tang came back, everyone had already prepared breakfast.

【Where did Shen Tang go so early?】

【Where else could she go, slacking off, not wanting to cook right】

【Is Shen Tang bare-faced? She looks pretty good】

【The above person, don't think too much. That's a pseudo no make up look. I've seen Shen Tang, she looks so ugly in real life and has bad skin too】

More and more people also gradually entered the live stream room. Even passersby couldn't help but exclaim, Shen Tang's antis are so hardworking!

"Sister Shen Tang, where did you go? I thought you hadn't gotten up yet." Ao Ziping said.

The female lead handed her a bowl of porridge, "Sister Shen Tang, try my porridge and see how it tastes."

Shen Tang touched her nose, "I've eaten."

"Huh?"

【It's clear now, Shen Tang woke up so early to go out and eat by herself!】

【Isn't that going a bit overboard? Everyone else waited for her to eat, but she went out and ate alone】

【How selfish!】

Before Shen Tang could explain, the big white goose in the yard stretched its neck and honked.

A few people looked over and saw Granny standing at the door.

"Can this big white goose also guard the house?"

"Granny, why did you come?"

"Shen Tang, you forgot to bring the candy I gave you."

Granny opened her handkerchief, inside were some loose sugar cubes, some were even stuck together.

You could tell they had been kept for a long time.

"Granny, you should keep them for yourself to eat."

【I bet 1 mao (a Chinese currency) spicy stick, Shen Tang is looking down on them】

【Hehe, the beggar definitely won't eat them】

"Granny doesn't eat them. Shen Tang, you should take them."

Shen Tang was a little helpless. She finally walked over and put a piece of candy in her mouth.

"Is it sweet?"

"Sweet."

Shen Tang couldn't help but think of her previous life. The orphanage she was in could barely survive.

The director would hide candy and only give them one candy each during new year.

I wonder if Director is still doing well...

Shen Tang looked away, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes.

She took a candy and fed it to Granny's mouth, "Try it yourself and see if its sweet or not."

Granny didn't have many teeth left. Her face was wrinkled. But at this moment, a sweet smile blossomed.

"So this is what candy tastes like..."

Hearing that, everyone felt a little sad.

The older generation were frugal, "Diligent and thrifty" was almost ingrained in their bones.

The female lead thought about it and walked over to hold Granny's hand, "Granny, have you eaten? We just finished making lunch, why don't you come in and eat too."

"I've eaten. Shen Tang came and helped me with chores and made breakfast earlier. You all eat. I'm going back first."

For a moment, the bullet screen quieted down.

【Hehe, where are the people scolding just now? Why aren't you coming out to apologize?】

【So what if she did it on purpose to gain attention? 】

【Regardless of motivation, did she do it or not?】

The guests also didn't expect Shen Tang to get up early and do chores. They felt a little guilty.

"It's all my fault for getting up too late..."

"No no, don't overthink it. I just couldn't sleep so I got up and went for a walk. I happened to see Granny busy so I went to help."

To tell the truth, Shen Tang had planned to not do anything and drag people down when she first came.

She didn't know why things turned out this way, now she had become the most hardworking one instead.

If it was someone petty, they probably would have been angry already. Fortunately these guests were very nice.

Today everyone finished chores faster than yesterday. Then they started the program team's task - shuck corn and sell watermelon.

However, Shen Tang had other plans. She didn't plan to follow the show's routine.

She whispered to the female lead. The female lead looked shocked, "Is that really ok?"

"The program team didn't say you can't. So that means you can."

"You have a point."

So when the guests went to sell watermelons, they used some watermelons to barter for ingredients instead of selling them.

Afraid of a repeat of yesterday's fiasco, they specially bartered for ingredients that were already prepped so they didn't need to slaughter animals.

Although they didn't complete the task and earn a reward, they got ingredients.

【Damn! You can do that!】

【Isn't that exploiting loopholes in the rules? And they took other people's things in exchange for ingredients, isn't that not good...】

【Come on, how can people still sympathize with capitalists!】

Shen Tang was responsible for shucking corn. The shucked corn was given to the program team directly. They didn't want rewards for completing tasks, it was used to pay off the money for the watermelons.

Although the program team was unwilling, they couldn't do anything about it since the previous rules didn't say you couldn't do that.

However, the director immediately modified the rules overnight to close loopholes. Future guests won't get to exploit loopholes anymore.

That night, everyone made a big meal. This counted as Shen Tang completing the task she came to do.

Shen Tang was in charge of cooking while the female lead helped out. The others were responsible for cleaning up after the meal.

After returning to the room, Shen Tang replied to the twins' WeChat messages one by one, and discovered these two rascals hadn't slept yet.

"Sister Shen Tang, play some King of Glory with me!"

"Ok, log in!"

Shen Tang hadn't played games for a number of days either. After logging in she discovered Gu Huaian was online, and he had already reached the King rank, though she didn't know if he got there himself or if he got someone else to boost his account.

Without even creating a room, she was pulled into Gu Huaian's room.

"Together?"

"Wait, let me pull some people in first."

After waiting a while, Gu Huaian saw Shen Tang pull in the twins who should have been sleeping.

"You slept?" As soon as Gu Huaian's voice sounded, the twins who were chattering away instantly quieted down and silently played dead.

Fortunately Gu Huaian didn't pursue the matter further. He only said "Play two rounds then sleep".

"Ok ok! We'll sleep after!"

"Uncle you're the best! Muah!"

After waiting a while longer, Shen Tang pulled another person in.

"Huh? Who's the second slot? The avatar looks kind of familiar." Miao Miao said, slightly surprised.

"Ah, he's my...friend."

Shen Tang glanced at Gu Huaian's avatar. Nothing special, just a moon - probably a random picture off the Internet.

"Huh?" Gu Anran sounded puzzled, "Shouldn't it be 'husband'?"

Miao Miao was very surprised, "Sister Monkey, you got married?!"

She was even planning to play matchmaker for Sister Monkey and her brother!
