Chapter 49 -46: The First Sword of Growth, Slay Zheng He First!
What was Chen Xixi saying just now?
Indeed, it’s a reverse arrangement.
Chen Xixi hasn’t even spoken yet, but the old man, as if he can read her mind, directly quotes the price for a stay.
Obviously, the production team must have done their work with every household in this village.
Charging for the accommodation must only be the first step.
Zheng He glanced at the small bungalow in the yard and couldn’t help but snort with laughter, “Two hundred to stay here? That’s the rate for a budget hotel, and it’s cleaner and more upright than your little courtyard. What gives you the right to charge us two hundred?”
The old man, upon hearing Zheng He’s tone, showed a hint of displeasure on his face and said, “If you don’t want to stay, you can go ask around at other houses!”
Chen Xixi still maintained her smile: “I’m sorry, sir, we’ll keep looking.”
Without a comparison, there is no disparity. Compared to Zheng He, Chen Xixi is truly more likable. The old man called Chen Xixi over and whispered something in her ear. Chen Xixi’s eyes instantly lit up with a smile: “I understand, thank you, sir.”
Before closing the door, the old man gave Zheng He a fierce glare.
Zheng He: “…”
“What did that old man say to you just now?” Zheng He asked Chen Xixi as he followed behind her.
Chen Xixi: “Nothing much.”
Zheng He scoffed coldly, “Fine, don’t tell me!”
[The production team is really scheming, making the old man charge two hundred a day, isn’t that a bit expensive?]
[Expensive or not, the key point is that besides Chen Xixi, the other four guests don’t have any money on them. What are they supposed to do?]
[I think the two hundred per night is probably a smokescreen. Judging by the way that old man was talking to Chen Xixi, there must be free accommodations available.]
[I think so too. The production team is probably trying to intentionally dissuade them. If they leave today, they might miss out on this free opportunity and, having nowhere else to go, might have to drop out of the competition for the five million prize money.]
[The production team is quite cunning. I felt something was up when they made them bet money on the running competition yesterday. It was just a simple race, yet they had to wager money, and in the end, the four guests lost everything!]
[Chen Xixi should be careful, I have a premonition that the production team will target her next!]
Chen Xixi walked for about five or six minutes before stopping in front of a somewhat run-down small bungalow.
Zheng He said in disbelief, “You can’t be considering staying here, right?”
He had passed by so many two-story buildings and some villas with luxurious decor without knocking on any of their doors, simply wanting to see what trick Chen Xixi had up her sleeve.
And the result is… this?
Chen Xixi ignored him and knocked on the door. It was opened by a big-hearted lady in her fifties, her face kind and approachable, giving off an aura that inexplicably made people want to get close to her.
Chen Xixi’s smile curved, a sweet and sensible grin spreading across her face, “Auntie, I have no place to stay right now. Could I borrow a spot in your home for a few days?”
Aunt Wu, as she’s called, nodded with a smile, welcomingly flung the door open, “Of course, of course, come on in.”
Zheng He’s disdainful gaze swept around the courtyard, the red brick walls, the old-fashioned glass windows, the uneven path in the middle of the yard, not even a decent tile in sight.
What era is this to still have such a rundown house.
Zheng He didn’t want to stay here at all.
Han Qianyi, on the other hand, had different thoughts. She felt that this worn-out house would be perfect to showcase her image as someone down-to-earth and unpretentious, who does not disdain the old and dirty––a good reputation in the making.
Plus, following Chen Xixi would ensure she wouldn’t go hungry.
And most importantly, Chen Xixi had the makeup products that Han Qianyi was eyeing…
Just as Han Qianyi was about to step in after Chen Xixi, she heard Zheng He’s voice suddenly coming from behind her: “How much do you charge for a night’s stay?”
Right, she had no money in her pocket; maybe she should save this persona for another time.
Her foot, poised to step over the threshold, hung in midair, but upon hearing Zheng He’s question, she was about to retract it. Just then, she heard Aunt Wu say, “We don’t charge for lodging in our home!”
Han Qianyi: “!!!”
No need for next time! This time she will perform for everyone!
Aunt Wu finished speaking, and her foot, which had been hovering uncertainly in the air, finally landed steadily on the ground, accompanied by a tender and understanding compliment: “Auntie, your house is so clean~”
Aunt Wu was delighted by the praise and found Han Qianyi even more agreeable, saying, “Not bad, I just come over and clean up when I have nothing else to do.”
Zheng He, hearing that it was free, immediately didn’t care about the environment and hurried to enter the courtyard, but Aunt Wu suddenly stopped him, smiling, “We only have two rooms in our house, and can only accommodate two people.”
Zheng He: “???” There are even limits on the number of people.
I don’t even mind staying here, and yet you dare to reject me? This is simply outrageous!!
[Zheng He is really too late for everything!]
[Did Han Qianyi’s leg cramp just now? Moving forward one second and retracting the next!]
[Hahaha! Perhaps it’s her wallet that’s deciding whether her legs should step forward!]
[Han Qianyi doesn’t even dislike the condition of this house, not bad, I’m a fan of this girl! I’ll vote for her today!]
[There’s really a place to stay for free!]
[Isn’t the production team too stingy? Letting them stay for free in such an old house, it’s not even as good as the previous dormitory!]
Chen Xixi and Han Qianyi successfully moved into the old bungalow.
The moment the door closed, the three male guests outside had an urgent look on their faces!
Zheng He and Wan Chen looked sour because they lost a free place to stay.
And Jin Cheng was unhappy because Han Qianyi had snatched the chance to stay with Chen Xixi!
Staying with Chen Xixi, there’s no worry about food and drink; he didn’t want to go through three days of hunger every now and then.
But there was nothing they could do; now they had to look elsewhere.
“If I can’t stay here, I’ll find another place!” Zheng He snorted coldly, “There are so many households in this village, there surely will be another free place to stay. Let’s go!”
Zheng He picked out luxurious villas to knock on, resulting in higher and higher accommodation quotes.
Finally, Jin Cheng ran out of patience and randomly chose an ordinary but clean and tidy bungalow to knock on.
And he really hit the jackpot, the old man who opened the door said accommodation was free.
Zheng He was happy, patting Jin Cheng on the shoulder, he said, “Brother, you’ve got some good luck!”
Jin Cheng ignored Zheng He, turned his head to look at Wan Chen, and without a word, the two picked up their luggage and entered the courtyard together, then with a “bang,” they unceremoniously closed the front gate.
“…” Wait, what do the two of them mean??
Zheng He stared at the closed door, frowning tightly, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot: “What’s the meaning of this? Have you forgotten how I took you begging for food last night? Heartless!”
[Still mentioning begging for food, it’s so embarrassing that they didn’t even get a penny, how can Zheng He have the face to mention it?]
[Isn’t what they did a bit too much? After all, Zheng He kindly took them to beg for food last night, even though they didn’t get any money, it was still kind-hearted!]
[Whoever is with Zheng He is unlucky, isn’t this obvious by now?]

[Hahaha, Wan Chen and Jin Cheng have grown up, their first act of coming of age, slaying Zheng He first!]
Zheng He, frustrated, shouted towards the inside of the door: “Just you wait, once I find a big villa to live in, you’ll regret it!”
Today, I must find the best place to stay, make all of them regret, and then cry and kneel to beg to live with me!!
Then I’ll fiercely reject them! A slap in their faces!
Dreams are beautiful, but reality… is also quite wonderful!
After Zheng He persisted in knocking only on villas, on the twelfth attempt, a woman in her forties said, “Accommodation at our place doesn’t cost money.”
Zheng He’s heart bloomed with joy!
He who had been suppressed was finally going to have his moment of glory in this program!!
However, the very next second, he realized he was happy too soon.
“Since you’re here, why did you bring things with you? That’s quite embarrassing!” The woman said with a laugh as she snatched away the noodles and eggs he was carrying.
“???” That’s my own stuff! Why would you snatch it away as soon as you welcome me?!
