Thank You, Auntie

"Okay, Mommy. I won't go again."

Shen Yibo and Song Yuchen were pulled back, but An Ruilin ran very quickly. He wanted to go down the hill to the lake to play.

Wu Yuerou chased after him for quite a while before she managed to pull him back. Although Baby Ruilin was finally stopped, he still wanted to go to the lake at the foot of the hill. He kept shouting, saying that he would go and take a look no matter what.

"An Ruilin, can you stop making a fuss?"

Wu Yuerou was very frustrated. Everyone had dug up more bamboo shoots than she had, and she had only gotten a few this morning. Yet, An Ruilin was a naughty and fussy child.

If this went on, they would have nothing when they went to Peace Mountain tomorrow.

An Ruilin blinked. When he saw that Wu Yuerou was really angry, he stopped making a fuss. But in his heart, he hadn't given up. He decided that when everyone got busy, he would go to the lake to take a look.

Compared to the naughty boys, Baby Yiyi and Xiaoyu were much more obedient. After the lunch break, they helped their mother with their work seriously. Although they could not help much, their actions were very heartwarming.

Ye Zhenzhen changed to another spot to dig the bamboo shoots in the afternoon. Han Jiangxue followed her quietly.

She found that wherever Ye Zhenzhen dug, there would always be many bamboo shoots.

Sure enough, after following Ye Zhenzhen, Han Jiangxue soon found a large nest of bamboo shoots. Her basket was filled up in no time.

However, Shen Yibo still had a stomachache in the afternoon. Han Jiangxue had thought that the stomachaches would stop in the afternoon, but unexpectedly, he went to the toilet more often than in the morning.

Han Jiangxue was thus extremely tired. Not only did she have to dig bamboo shoots, but she also had to run back and forth with Shen Yibo.

[There must be something wrong with Shen Yibo's stomach.]

[Poor child, there must have been something wrong with the bamboo shoots fried meat in the morning.]

[Han Jiangxue, hurry up and bring Baby Yibo to see a doctor. Why are you still digging bamboo shoots?]

When the session was about to end, Song Yuchen wanted to go to the toilet as well, so Ye Zhenzhen brought him to a place with fewer people.

From afar, she could see An Ruilin walking toward the lake. Wu Yuerou was anxious to dig more bamboo shoots, so she had no time for the little boy.

An Ruilin had seen Shen Yibo coming over quite a few times, so he took advantage of Wu Yuerou's lack of attention to come over. He wanted to go to the lake to take a look.

Seeing that An Ruilin was almost at the lakeside and looking around, Ye Zhenzhen intuitively felt that something was wrong.

While Ye Zhenzhen ran to the lakeside, she told Song Yuchen, "Baby Chen, wait for me here. I'll go and get An Ruilin back."

"I'll go with you."

"Don't move. Just stand there and wait for me."

She could never allow Song Yuchen to go near the lake today.

Ye Zhenzhen dashed toward An Ruilin.

An Ruilin was playing at the lakeside, probing at the water with his short legs. In an instant, he missed a step and was about to fall into the lake. Ye Zhenzhen quickly ran over and grabbed his clothes from the back and pulled him over.

An Ruilin's face was pale from fright. He did not know what had happened just now, and he could only feel his heart beating wildly.

Ye Zhenzhen's heart was also beating fast. In the novel, Song Yuchen had been the one playing by the lake. The original owner of this body wasn't on good terms with the little boy, so the little boy quietly ran to the lake and fell into the lake just like An Ruilin had almost done.

Fortunately, not only did Song Yuchen not fall into the lake, but the other children were also fine.

Ye Zhenzhen's heart was finally relieved.

[Oh my god! Ye Zhenzhen's speed was simply insane!]

[If she didn't run so fast, An Ruilin would be splashing around in the lake by now.]

[From now on, I'll be the first to scold anyone who says that Ye Zhenzhen is an evil stepmother. Since she cares so much even about An Ruilin, how could she possibly treat Chen badly?]

[I've become touched by Ye Zhenzhen's actions. I want to be her fan. This woman is beautiful and kind. She's really something.]

Ye Zhenzhen brought Song Yuchen and An Ruilin back to the crowd. She did not say anything to Baby Chen, but An Ruilin suddenly came back to his senses and hugged Wu Yuerou's thigh while crying loudly.

Wu Yuerou was at a loss when she heard her son's sudden crying. She squatted and asked, "Baby Ruirui, what's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Tell Mommy."

An Ruilin did not stop crying. Instead, he pointed at Ye Zhenzhen who was picking up bamboo shoots in the distance, and said in hiccups, "Auntie... Thank..."

However, when Wu Yuerou heard the incoherent words that were squeezed out from the crying, she assumed that Ye Zhenzhen had bullied her son. She was just feeling frustrated that she had nowhere to vent her anger. She did not expect Ye Zhenzhen to send herself as a target to be scolded while they were about to call it a day.

Before Wu Yuerou could say anything, the cameraman could not stand it anymore and told her how Ye Zhenzhen saved An Ruilin.

Wu Yuerou's face turned red and then white. The words that she had prepared to scold Ye Zhenzhen were stuck in her throat.

It was Ye Zhenzhen who saved her son!

Wu Yuerou wiped away the tears on An Ruilin's face and asked gently, "Is that so? Ruirui, what did you want to say just now?"

"Ye... Yes. Auntie saved me. I have to thank Auntie!"

[Look at how scared the child is. He cried when he saw his mother.]

[The cameraman's contribution is indispensable.]

[Right, right, right. Otherwise, it would be really hard to explain this matter.]

[Wu Yuerou has to thank Ye Zhenzhen. If it weren't for Ye Zhenzhen, God knows where Ruilin would be now.]

Although Wu Yuerou did not like Ye Zhenzhen, she felt that she should thank her after hearing the cameraman's words. She packed her things and walked toward Ye Zhenzhen with An Ruilin.

"Ye Zhenzhen, thank you for saving my son."

An Ruilin sobbed while thanking her as well.

"Thank you, Auntie, for saving me just now."

Ye Zhenzhen was quite surprised by the mother and son's words of gratitude. She did not expect Wu Yuerou to thank her.

"It's nothing. It's good that the child is fine."

She politely responded to Wu Yuerou.

Then, she smiled and patted An Ruilin's head.

"Ruirui, be good. You must listen to your Mommy next time. Don't run around."

An Ruilin nodded.

[Okay, okay. Big Sis Wu is finally sensible for once.]

[Her son was saved. If she doesn't thank Ye Zhenzhen, should she still be on the show?]

Han Jiangxue had just handed in the bamboo shoots that she had dug for the whole day. She had worked so hard but only managed to harvest 30 kilograms of bamboo shoots, which meant she would only have 600 yuan tomorrow. It was not even as much as Ye Zhenzhen's harvest in the morning.

It had to be said that the little fatty Shen Yibo was to blame for slowing down her progress.

Plus, she wondered what Ye Zhenzhen had done behind her back to make Wu Yuerou and her son thank her.

Wu Yuerou didn't say anything more.

Everyone was handing their bamboo shoots to get their funds and call it a day.

After spending the whole day digging for bamboo shoots, she had only dug up about 15 kilograms, and among them were some old ones. After deducting the unqualified bamboo shoots, she only got 300 yuan.

Lin Qianqian and Xu Wanjia's harvest was about the same. The bamboo shoots they had dug up weighed about 60 kilograms, and each of them received about 1200 yuan for travel expenses.
