The air seemed still for a moment.
The rebellious teen said casually, “I can’t afford it; have no money.”
The other boys also expressed they were penniless.
Yin Jiangxue spoke on behalf of them being young as she felt it was too cruel. “Why don’t we just forget it? Either way, eggs aren’t worth that much anyway…”
“I can’t let this go.” Xiang Yi pulled out her phone without lifting her head. “What’s your guardian’s phone number?”
The live comments immediately began to mock her.
——[Is it worth getting so riled up over some eggs?]
——[The kids are still young; why must you be so strict?]
——[Heh, she acts like a Baifumei every day; would a real Baifumei care about so little money?]
——[Guess you have to be cheap to get rich. This Xiang b*tch is something else]
——[Wait, I know this kid; he’s my boss’s son. Why is he out here stealing? I gotta let my boss know right away]
The hardheaded teen evidently went stiff at the sound of this but responded firmly, “Don’t remember.”
“Your teacher’s number?”
“Dropped out.”
Xiang Yi raised her head and stared at him for a while.
The teenager squirmed at her gaze, even feeling slightly guilty, as if those eyes that were as serene as a lake’s surface had long seen through his plans.
Xiang Yi retracted her phone. “Then you can stay and work for me; pay off your debt with labor.”
The teen paused, stunned. “This is illegal child labor!”
“You guys have illegally trespassed onto someone else’s property, damaged their belongings, and caused huge losses.” Xiang Yi said calmly. The benefits of having a lawyer for a big brother revealed itself in this moment as she could casually pull out legal terms out of her mind at will.
“…” The teen was speechless. “What kind of huge loss is a few eggs…”
Why won’t this woman call the police?!
“Did you forget about that chicken? That counts as harming livestock.”
The boys were speechless from Xiang Yi’s reasoning that they responded without protest to help clean the chicken coop.
The girl dodged out of the camera’s view and gestured to Li Jianyu.
Stepping to the side, the two people conversed.
“Can you find some people to talk to them? I suspect these kids have an ulterior motive.”
“Heh? Aren’t they just a group of rascal kids?”
Xiang Yi shook her head. “It’s just a gut feeling. It seems they want me to call the police, but if I do call the police, they will leave a record.”
Breaking and entering was illegal.
Li Jianyu was stunned. “This means they want to take a day-trip to the police station?”
Were all kids these days this bold?
If it really were to leave a record, it would be a stain for the rest of their life!
“I’ll tell Lao Li and Lao Wang to go, they’re very practiced; they should have no issue dealing with a few brats.”
At the spring pavilion.
The guests were in the middle of making jam together.
Shi Sui was responsible for washing and prepping the fruits, while Sheng Guang and Xiang Li peeled and pitted the fruits. Yi Jiangxue was in charge of making the brine, while Xiang Yi manned the stovetop.
Yin Jiangxue smiled. “Does this count as ‘Two Under One Roof”s jam production line? Natural and organic, hand-made, and if you want to purchase it, do it quickly! Come, click the link provided by the director below in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…”
Li Jianyu protested from behind the camera. “Mentor Yin, stop trolling me! Where am I going to find you a link at this time!”
Laughter rang throughout the harmonious atmosphere.
Even the netizens praised Yin Jiangxue for being very humorous even though she was a senior.
At this moment, there was an array of car horns that sounded from the front entrance.
“Beep beep beep——”
“A mysterious guest?” Yin Jiangxue asked suspiciously.
The program staff were puzzled.
They hadn’t invited any other guests…
Click-clacking high heels approached, echoing against the cobblestone as a woman dressed in a prestigious outfit appeared.
