Chapter 47 - 47: The Honeydew Is Very Sweet
“That’s right. If Yu Miao can’t come, what about the others?” Yu Su asked bluntly, not giving Ye Chang any face.
Ye Chang did not expect Yu Su to say this and was caught off guard. “If Yu Ruo wants to stay and take care of her…”
“I’m still holding on even though I sprained my ankle. I don’t know if some people are really taking care of people or taking this opportunity to slack off.” Meng Xi limped over with Ding Chen’s help.
When Meng Xi saw the dirty Yu Su, she thought of what the villagers had said just now and could not help but cry. “Yu Su, why are you so bold? What if the human trafficker really stabs you with a knife?!”
Yu Su was being carried by Meng Xi. Hearing her cries, she patted her back gently to comfort her. “I know what to do. Nothing will happen. Look, I’m fine now. Instead, it’s that despicable human trafficker who’s in trouble.”
Meng Xi pulled Yu Su along, wanting to see if she was injured, but she was interrupted by the sound of sirens.
A few police officers walked over, and the leader asked, “Who reported the case just now?”
Director Lin hurriedly walked forward. After the police found out about the situation from him, Xiao Han, Yu Su, and the photographer were questioned separately. Then, the three of them followed the police back to the police station to record their statements.
When the three of them returned from the police station, the director specially applied to the higher-ups to suspend filming for a day. The higher-ups also agreed to do so to give the production team and guests a good rest.
However, even though filming was suspended, the phones could not be returned, and the guests could not leave the village.
Yu Miao, Yu Ruo, and Shen Chun, who did not participate in the help, learned what had happened from Ye Chang and the staff.
After hearing this, Yu Miao was filled with regret. If only she hadn’t acted impulsively back then. Perhaps she would have been the one to save Zhuangzhuang and catch the human trafficker.
Yu Miao looked at Yu Su and Xiao Han, who were surrounded by the villagers, and clenched her fists.
What right did Yu Su have to stand with Xiao Han and receive the gratitude of the villagers?
She should be the one standing beside Xiao Han!!
Zhuangzhuang’s grandma brought Zhuangzhuang to the hospital for a checkup. She had already returned and was smiling warmly. She wanted to drag Yu Su and Xiao Han to her house for dinner.
“Thank you so much for today. If it weren’t for you, Zhuangzhuang wouldn’t have been able to come back. I don’t have anything valuable to thank you for. No matter what, the two of you have to come home with me for dinner so that I can thank you!”
Faced with the old woman’s kind invitation, Yu Su and the others really could not refuse her and could only follow.
Not only did the old woman invite Yu Su and Xiao Han, but she also invited everyone in the production team, including Yu Miao and the other two who had not appeared.
However, Yu Miao and the other two still had their pride and rejected this invitation.
In the end, only Ye Chang followed.
Although he didn’t help much, he had also put in a lot of effort to find Zhuangzhuang. There was nothing wrong with having this meal.
When everyone arrived at Zhuangzhuang’s house, they realized that the old woman had not only invited their production team, but also the entire village.
The old woman asked the young men in the village to help her kill her two fat pigs. She also took out the poverty allowance that she had saved up for a long time and went to town to buy many vegetables and fruits.
Everyone in the production team had mixed feelings as they looked at this house with four walls and the bright and happy smile on the old woman’s face.
Yu Su opened her mouth a few times to say that there was no need to spend so much money, but she did not say anything.
Yu Su knew that Zhuangzhuang was the old woman’s hope of living on. She was her greatest spiritual pillar.
Therefore, everyone who had helped her in finding Zhuangzhuang was her and Zhuangzhuang’s great benefactor. It was worth her giving everything she had to thank them.
“Good child, come and try this honeydew. This is my Zhuangzhuang’s favorite!” The old woman walked over with a plate of cut cantaloupe.
The price of this honeydew would not be low. It was obvious that their grandparents usually could not bear to eat it. This time, they had specially bought it to entertain them.
Yu Su looked at the watery honeydew on the plate and picked up the smallest piece. “Thank you, Granny. This honeydew is fragrant and sweet!”
Seeing that they were eating happily, the smile on the old woman’s face deepened. “It’s good that you like it. Don’t worry and eat.. There’ll be more if you finish eating!”
