After Max Li and his friends in the yard finished their meal and went out to look for work, Song Yucheng also got up. He simply packed up, changed his clothes, and left the yard again.

He first bought two steamed buns and a steamed bun at a small stall. Then he threw the bun to the camera and complained, "It's greasy." Then he took the bag of steamed buns and ate them while walking forward.

Normally, eating on the road would not look good. But when Song Yucheng did it, it was surprisingly not indecent, but rather a bit carefree. As for the action of throwing the bun to the camera, this time it did not escape the camera's eyes who were carefully observing the details.

The cameraman can almost confirm that Song Yucheng is a boy with a soft heart. Those thorny words and seemingly condescending contempt are just his means to perform the script well. But in fact, after breaking through the heavy shell, the soul hidden inside is actually quite soft.

Otherwise, he was just a cameraman. It was common for him to be so busy with reality shows that he had no time to eat all day. Why would Song Yucheng use such an excuse to prepare food for him?

Even though these two buns are not expensive, it is far from easy for Song Yucheng to make money.

Thinking of this, the cameraman looked at the buns in his hand and became more and more speechless.

This time, the netizens in Song Yucheng's live broadcast room also noticed something was wrong. But Song Yucheng had left too many negative impressions on them before, so even if they found something wrong, they couldn't react immediately, and instead thought that Song Yucheng was too hypocritical.

"I feel sick of meat buns. I just want to know what kind of delicacies he usually eats!"

However, this kind of discussion was what Song Yucheng wanted most. After laying the groundwork for so long, he was finally ready to close the net.

In the real world, as a professional lawyer, Song Yucheng has experienced countless cases of all sizes and has seen too many different kinds of people.

Children like Max Li who cry will naturally get candy, but in fact, the type of person who looks fierce but is miserable inside but tries hard to give the candy in his hand to others is the one that people want to hold in their arms and love them the most.

Song Yucheng is going to play such a "vicious male supporting role". He will naturally perform the script given by the director team in detail, but how it will turn out in the eyes of others depends on his ability and skills.

In the original world, these netizens used public opinion to send the original body to a dead end. So in this life, Song Yucheng plans to let them use public opinion to restore the original body to a bright moon and clear wind, which would be fair.

Thinking of this, he felt that the steamed bun in his hand became particularly delicious. After he finished eating the steamed bun, he walked to the foot of the mountain behind the small county town. Near the stream, Song Yucheng picked a lot of dragon beard grass.

"What is this used for?" the cameraman asked curiously.

Song Yucheng didn't answer, but just looked up at him, as if asking, "Are you talking too much?" Then, he returned to his residence with the picked dragon beard grass on his back, and sat down under the coolest grape trellis in the yard.

I don’t know what Liam Chu’s little ones are doing now?

Slowly fiddling with the dragon beard grass in his hand, Song Yucheng guessed the situation of the other teenagers. He thought that no matter whether they made money or not, their current appearance must be quite embarrassing. And Song Yucheng even hoped that they would be more embarrassed, so as to show how considerate and appropriate the gift he was about to give them was.

Calling the system, Song Yucheng inquired about how many people were cursing him in the live broadcast room. After hearing the number 20,000, he couldn't help but chuckle.

In a few hours, he would make all those who scolded him apologize to him for what they said during the day.

---

Song Yucheng's calculations were accurate, but in the main live broadcast room on the other side, the atmosphere was still very depressed.

It can only be said that Song Yucheng's guess was too accurate. Because the current sTate Xu of Liam Chu and his group was indeed not good. And it was no longer just the word "embarrassed" that could describe it.

Fast forward an hour and a half. Since they could not find jobs in the county town, Liam Chu and his companions expanded their search area this time. They walked all the way to the pig farm closest to the county town, where they finally found their first job.

Clean the pigsty.

They are all young masters and young ladies from first-tier cities. They usually eat pork, and if it is not cooked well, they will complain about it being dirty. Now asking them to clean the pigpen is no different from killing them directly.

The disgusting smell was enough to make everyone feel sick before they even entered. Several people stopped in front of the pigpen at the same time. But when they thought of Song Yucheng's ridicule at noon, they mustered up their courage and didn't want to give up.

"I'll go first! You girls wait outside." Max Li was still graceful. He gritted his teeth and went in carrying his tools.

Liam Chu arranged for two girls and hurried in.

However, what they never expected was that the seemingly simple task would be so difficult when they actually did it. Not only was the unpleasant smell making them dizzy, but the piglets running around also added a lot of problems for them.

Finally, the two girls followed in, and the five of them worked together for three hours before they managed to clean the place. They earned the hard-earned twenty dollars.

"We made money! We made money!" The five teenagers all smiled excitedly when they saw Liam Chu taking the twenty yuan from the person in charge of the pig farm.

The two girls hugged each other and cried and jumped, regardless of whether they were dirty or not. Max Li and another boy were also very excited.

Although the twenty yuan was not much, it was the first time they had earned money by themselves. It also meant that they would not go hungry tonight.

Even Liam Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Buy buns, buy buns!" they shouted, calculating the cost of dinner. Five people, twenty yuan, fifty cents for a vegetable bun, one dollar for a meat bun. No matter how you look at it, it's definitely enough to fill your stomach.

Finally, the auntie selling buns saw how cute they were and gave them an extra meat-filled bun, which made them happy to the extreme.

"I'll throw this in Song Yucheng's face when I get back. Humph, we can make money too!" Max Li became more and more excited as he spoke. When he thought of the injustice he suffered at noon, he wished he could return to the courtyard immediately and take revenge.

At this time, Song Yucheng was still fiddling with the dragon beard grass.

In the small courtyard, a handsome young man sat under the grape trellis, his slender and nimble fingers moving among the dragon beard grass, and one exquisite straw hat after another appeared.

His eyelashes drooped, his lips were pursed, and it seemed as if even the wind in the yard had become gentle because of his concentration, giving off a sense of the peaceful and tranquil years.

"Every time I see Song Yucheng doing these, I think they are so beautiful."

"I think he's too toxic. He attracts fans when he's silent, but once he opens his mouth, people want to curse him. I'm convinced of Song Yucheng's schizophrenia, and I can't find any adjectives to describe it."

"I feel so tired, but I can't help but keep watching. I don't know why I am so self-deprecating."

As the netizens in the live broadcast room discussed one thing after another, the sun finally set. When Song Yucheng finished the last straw hat, Liam Chu and the other four had already reached the gate of the courtyard.

They had just bought some buns and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Song Yucheng sitting on the grape trellis fiddling with something. His serious and handsome look was as beautiful as a painting, which made them stunned for a moment.

Even Liam Chu couldn't take his eyes off it.

Song Yucheng is a person who naturally has the magic power to attract people's attention. The more annoying his personality is, the more attractive his temperament and appearance are. If he wasn't so mean, even if he knew that he was Tate Xu's plaything, after getting along for a long time, someone like Max Li would probably accept and like him quickly.

After all, people's tolerance for beauty is very limited. And Song Yucheng himself is such a person.

But soon, they came to their senses, and Song Yucheng's squeeze at noon came to their minds again.

"Max Li, go talk to him!" The two girls pushed Max Li.

Having finally earned some money, they just wanted to show off the meat buns they bought to Song Yucheng. Max Li also thought so, and walked towards Song Yucheng with the buns in his hand.

"Hey!" Max Li called out to Song Yucheng and looked down at him. He felt that he was very powerful this time and would definitely be able to defeat Song Yucheng.

However, when Song Yucheng raised his head, the mocking look in his eyes, as if he was looking at the stupid son of a landlord, made Max Li's straight back collapse subconsciously.

In a panic, Max Li turned around to look for other people, but found that except for Liam Chu, everyone else pretended not to notice them.

The mood of showing off suddenly dropped an octave, and even the bun that was supposed to be thrown on Song Yucheng's face became particularly embarrassing. In the end, Max Li could only hand it over awkwardly, muttering softly: "Give back your lunch! We came back with leftovers too."

Max Li's voice was very loud, but it showed that he had no confidence. But it was not his fault. After all, Song Yucheng earned more than 100 yuan in the morning. In comparison, their 20 yuan seemed particularly insignificant.

However, unexpectedly, Song Yucheng did not make any sarcastic remarks this time. Instead, he took the bun very calmly.

"You are the only one who can buy such unpalatable and tasteless food." After saying that, Song Yucheng got up and went back to the house. He seemed to be extremely disgusted, as if staying with them for one more second would affect his IQ.

So, he was despised again? Max Li stared at Song Yucheng's back for a long time, and finally came back to his senses.

"What the hell..." Max Li was so angry that he couldn't get his breath out or out, and he jumped around for several rounds. Finally, he pointed at Song Yucheng's window and shouted, "Song Yucheng, wait! I'm going to earn you a full banquet!"

The result was Song Yucheng's several chuckles. Max Li was even more furious. In order to vent his anger, he picked up several buckets of water and watered all the vegetable plots in the landlord's yard. However, he unexpectedly received a large plate of farm-style braised food and a bowl of mung bean soup for each person as a reward.

Food is always the best way to relieve depression. On a summer night like this, delicious and juicy steamed buns with salty and delicious stewed food, plus a bowl of refreshing green bean soup after the meal, can relieve even the most unbearable fatigue.

Now, the boys who were a little depressed because they failed to slap Song Yucheng in the face suddenly cheered up again. Although they earned little, they still earned money after all! And the dinner was also rich, which gave them greater confidence and convinced them that they would earn more tomorrow!

Chatting like this and encouraging each other, the group quickly became happy again.

The comments in the main live broadcast room were also infected by their cheerful atmosphere and became particularly active.

"When people are young, they are most easily satisfied. A good meal or the achievement of a small goal can make them very happy."

"That's why they say young people don't know the taste of sorrow."

"That's great. I want to join them. But where did the braised food come from? Why don't I remember the landlords in previous seasons providing meals?"

"Who knows! None of this matters."

"That's right." The brief doubt was soon forgotten by everyone. However, those netizens who had seen Song Yucheng's perspective felt mixed emotions.

They knew that the stewed food and mung bean soup were bought by Song Yucheng and the landlord after he returned to his room. At the same time, he also bought a bowl of noodles for the cameraman.

Although they still said things like "I just feel sorry for them that they have to buy mostly vegetarian buns", this time, no one scolded him for being "too pretentious" or "pretentious". Instead, they began to reflect on whether their previous views on Song Yucheng were due to one-sided stereotypes and exaggerated imagination, which led to too many misunderstandings.

Go back half an hour.

Song Yucheng, who had just returned to his room after arguing with Max Li, did not sit down to rest immediately. Instead, he stood carefully by the window and looked at the situation outside through the bamboo curtain.

After the landlord sent him the braised food and green bean soup he ordered as a reward for watering the vegetable garden, he seemed to be relieved and smiled subconsciously. But when he noticed the camera staring at him, he quickly restrained himself.

"Why do you have to find such an excuse to help them with their meals?" The cameraman pondered for a long time and couldn't help asking. In fact, the reason was obvious. Song Yucheng was worried that Max Li and his friends didn't have enough food. But Song Yucheng made a specious explanation: "It's just a courtesy."

"What about steamed buns and braised food? Isn't this exchange of favors a bit too unbalanced?" The cameraman asked a rather sharp question.

After all, he couldn't hold it in any longer. He felt that Song Yucheng was too wronged. He had taken care of everyone, so why did he have to be criticized for following that unlucky script? As for live broadcasts and jobs, in the eyes of today's cameras, compared with Song Yucheng's grievances, they were nothing.

So, he wanted to give Song Yucheng a chance to say everything he wanted to say.

However, no one expected that after a brief silence, Song Yucheng took a bite of the bun in his hand and said the same words as written in the script. But the lonely tone made the netizens in the live broadcast room feel a sudden pain in their hearts.

"I have a younger brother, who is about the same age as Max Li, but he is not a loser like him..."
