Quick Transmigration: When Can I Just Lay Down and Wait to Die?

Chapter 163 The Rural Girl in "Metamorphosis" 6

The cameraman didn't say anything, but shook his head. Seeing that Lin Ziye was about to yell again, he immediately said, "Shut up!" Upon hearing this, Lin Ziye turned his head and said, "I haven't said anything yet!"

“If I hadn’t told you beforehand, would you have stopped yelling? Where did you learn this from? A grown man who howls all the time. This village is mostly inhabited by elderly people. You’re always making a fuss and yelling every now and then. Have you ever thought that one of the elderly people in the village might be sent away by you someday?”

"It's not that scary, is it? I was just expressing my dissatisfaction, venting my emotions, and yelling a bit. How did that get me sent away?" As she said this, her voice grew softer and softer.

"People can scare you to death! Don't you know? That old lady can't compare to a young person. My grandma isn't in good health, so if you come to my house in the future, you'd better keep it down!"

"Oh!" Lin Ziye responded, then pointed the gun at the camera again. "Why can't I eat at someone else's house? Are you trying to starve me? You know what the food is like there!"

"What are you talking to your uncle about? He can't make the decision!"

"Then he can convey my message to his superiors!"

The two bickered, but Lin Ziye didn't leave. Liu Yuxi guessed he would still have to mooch a meal here. Luckily, she added some noodles when she heard him. The dishes for lunch were gone, but there was still some rice left. It wasn't enough, so she could make a bowl of fried rice with eggs.

After kneading the dough, rolling out the wrappers, and cutting the noodles, I went to the backyard to pick a handful of bok choy and fished out the big bones from the bone broth. I'll feed them to the village chief's big yellow dog later.

I put the noodles in the pot, then tossed two eggs in. I served two large bowls to Lin Ziye and the cameraman first, and cooked the rest for a while longer, since Grandma is old and the noodles needed to be a little softer.

They chopped up a bowl of pickled vegetables from home, added some sesame oil, and the four of them finished a whole pot of noodles with the pickled vegetables. Seeing that Lin Ziye and the cameraman didn't seem full, they asked Lin Ziye, "Want some fried rice?"

"Eat!" That was a quick and impatient reply!

I went to the backyard and picked two green peppers and a scallion. I first used the scallion to make oil, then added two eggs and scrambled them. I added the chopped green peppers and stir-fried until the moisture evaporated. Then I added the leftover rice from lunch, added salt, and stir-fried. Soon, the unique aroma of fried rice wafted out.

There wasn't much rice left, so Lin Ziye and the photographer each took a large portion of the bowl and ate it with some pickled vegetables. They finished it in no time.

After finishing their noodles, Grandma went back to her room, leaving just the three of them in the house. Liu Yuxi was washing the pots and pans while chatting with Lin Ziye: "Why did you come to this show?"

"I don't know. I just don't like going to school. I haven't done anything that would cause great resentment or anger anyone. Who knows what those two are thinking?"

Liu Yuxi thought those two people must refer to his parents. Thinking of the two pretentious, dramatic, and somewhat mean people in the original owner's memories, he felt a little disliked and asked, "Are those two your parents?"

"Otherwise what?" Lin Ziye was visibly agitated when his parents were mentioned.

"What? You don't like your parents?"

He was probably holding it in for too long. He was an only child and attended a prestigious private school, so there were many things he couldn't say to his classmates at school. But now that they had dumped him in this godforsaken place, he wasn't going to cover for them. If they made him suffer, then no one else would have a good time either!

It has to be said, a 15- or 16-year-old boy is really rebellious!

"You don't know, those two are always there. One is like he lives at the company, and the other is like he lives at the beauty salon. I can hardly see them every day. When I finally do see them, they ask me how my grades are."

My classmate's parents also own a company. Other parents can attend parent-teacher meetings whenever they have time, but for them, they just send a secretary. It's like the world won't turn without them.

They even look down on people. Once when I was in sixth grade, I brought a classmate home to play. My mom happened to be home, and as soon as we met, she asked me what my classmate's family did. My classmate's family company wasn't as big as mine. My mom didn't say anything at the time, but afterwards she told me to associate more with classmates of similar social standing.

What do you mean by "at the same level"? Twenty years ago, our company wasn't very big, and look how arrogant those two were! When we needed them, they were always saying they were busy or didn't have time. But when we didn't need them, they came over with demands on everything!

They always complain about how hard it is to raise me, but what have they done besides giving me money? They even shoved me into this godforsaken place. What have I done to deserve this torture?

Towards the end, the frustration and anger were almost palpable!

Well, if we go by what he said, he just has a bad temper and isn't doing very well in school, but he really doesn't have any other shortcomings.

Based on what I observed throughout the day, this kid didn't have any tattoos on his exposed skin, didn't smoke, and the only swear word he uttered was "Fuck!" Although he had pierced ears and wore earrings, he didn't have any exaggerated things like lip rings, tongue rings, or eyebrow rings.

Thinking back to the original owner's memories, after the show ended, when she returned home and chatted with her grandmother, her grandmother also told her that even children from wealthy families have it tough. The original owner's wish was simply not to participate in the show, and she didn't want any revenge.

Looking at the incessantly chattering Lin Ziye in front of her, Liu Yuxi finally understood why she felt that not only the children needed to change, but also their parents when she first watched "Transformation".

Aside from those born with bad genes, most of a child's problems are related to their parents.

Through several encounters that day, Liu Yuxi also understood why this world chose a "problem teenager" as the male lead—it was to create a difficult background for the male lead!

In her previous two lives, the original owner and her grandmother did not have a good ending because of this show. Although it was partly due to the original owner's own personality, you can't expect too much from a child born in the mountains who is only 9 years old. She can't be born with knowledge, can she? Her perspective is limited, and she didn't want it to be like that!

In this life, wouldn't it be reasonable for Liu Yuxi to use the male lead? Let's build a good relationship first, and then talk about using the male lead later when there's something she can do with him. After all, the male lead is going to develop in the entertainment industry. If she can use the male lead as a stepping stone, then Liu Yuxi won't have to put in much more effort.

After Liu Yuxi finished washing the pots and pans and cleaning the kitchen, she boiled a pot of water to use with her grandmother for washing.

While Lin Ziye was still listing his parents' various shortcomings, Liu Yuxi reminded him, "Um, will your parents watch this show?"

Lin Ziye froze for a moment, then recovered: "Go ahead and look, I'm just telling the truth!" Even so, he ended the chat and told Liu Yuxi he was going back to sleep. Heaven knows, he was wide awake at this hour!
