Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Ways to Make Money

“Where are we going?” Xiao Miao asked.

“There’s a grandpa selling newspapers leisurely sitting over there, we can borrow his phone without disturbing his work,” Chu Xijin explained.

Xiao Miao still didn’t get it: “Why borrow a phone?”

Chu Xijin glanced at the camera, smiling oh so sweetly, “To report the show for child labor abuse.”

[Wow, the Crown Prince is so handsome!]

[I originally thought Xiao Jin came up with some money-making idea, didn’t expect a straight-up report, slick move!]

[Always use the law to protect yourself, you’ve got this.]

[Xiao Jin really, I’m tearing up, he didn’t borrow the phone from the busy rice noodle shop owner but chose the grandpa instead, people with gentle souls always get you in the details!]

…

The cameraman immediately contacted the production team. Director Yang wasn’t in a good mood today, and the assistant director suggested testing how the kids could make money to draw more attention and higher ratings, but they didn’t expect…

Xiao Jin’s move was too slick.

Their livestream room was also afraid of being shut down.

The production team gave each person ten yuan for breakfast, and Chu Xijin slyly held up two fingers, “We need to take my sister to see a doctor, so give two hundred more, otherwise…”

He left the sentence hanging.

Grudgingly, the production team gave money.

Chu Xijin nodded in satisfaction and took everyone to eat rice noodles first, not forgetting to tell the owner, “My sister had diarrhea yesterday, could you use less seasoning on hers but still keep it tasty?”

“Sure, sure, I know you, you’re really good-looking,” the owner said.

“Thank you, ma’am, sorry to trouble you,” Chu Xijin sincerely thanked her.

He sat down with the four little friends and carefully asked his sister about her condition.

“It’s just a tummy ache and diarrhea,” Lin Yuxian said, lips pale, teary-eyed as she looked at him, “It was too late then, everyone was asleep, so I didn’t tell brother or mom and dad, now I’m causing trouble for everyone.”

“It’s alright, it’s alright.” Chu Xijin gently patted her back, “Sister is really strong.”

Xiao Miao also nodded, “Sister is the strongest sister.”

Being comforted by everyone, Lin Yuxian gradually showed a smile.

She was anxious all night, afraid her brother would blame her for being troublesome, also scared her parents would blame her brother, so she held back.

She was really miserable not being able to eat breakfast today.

If Brother Xiangxiang hadn’t mentioned breakfast, she wouldn’t have brought up her diarrhea, it’s a bit embarrassing, how can a fairy mention such things ꒦ິ^꒦ິ

She wants to save money to have this part cut from the show when she grows up.

︶︿︶

“Kids, the rice noodles are ready, be careful not to burn yourselves,” the lady owner specially handed her portion to her first, and then brought out the others’ rice noodles.

Seeing Brother Xiangxiang about to shove noodles in his mouth with chopsticks, Chu Xijin quickly stopped him, “Brother Xiangxiang, if you blow five times before eating each time, I’ll give you some of my noodles as a reward.”

“Really?” Xiong Zunxiang’s eyes widened with surprise.

“Yes!” Chu Xijin affirmed with a nod.

“Won’t you go hungry then?”

“It’s fine, I have a small appetite.” Chu Xijin was worried he’d burn himself, then there’d be another person to take to the hospital.

“Oh, alright, thank you, Xiao Jin.”

Xiong Zunxiang enjoyed his fragrant rice noodles, slurping them down like a gust of wind, finishing in no time.

Chu Xijin’s lips parted slightly, his gaze a bit dazed.

Seems like he was really hungry.

[Hahaha, love seeing the five little ones go out together.]

[Yes, me too, who’d have thought I’m a die-hard fan of Brother Lin, watching the kids together is such a joy even if there’s not much entertainment value.]

[Xiangxiang eats so fast, no wonder he cries when hungry.]

[Xiangxiang is good at everything, just a bit of a foodie.]

[What about Xiao Jin’s flaw?]

[He’s not my husband!]

[Shut up, my son-in-law is just a child!]

…

After finishing the rice noodles, Chu Xijin asked the lady owner about nearby clinics and took Lin Yuxian to see a doctor first.

The doctor was surprised to see such a big commotion for a check-up, lots of people taking photos nearby, but his professional ethics made him inquire about the child’s situation, and after understanding, he instructed, “Don’t catch a cold, keep the AC temperature up, got it?”

“Okay,” Lin Yuxian obediently nodded.

The doctor prescribed her medicine, which she took on the spot.

The scene of the obedient little sister taking medicine made a large number of netizens express their compassion while liking her even more.

After Sister finished her medicine, Chu Xijin wanted her to rest a bit before taking the bus.

However, since they were filming outside, and it was Hengdian, many fans crowded over to take pictures of them, chanting how cute they were. Reluctantly, Chu Xijin led the kids out to avoid disturbing the patients.

They went to wait at the bus stop.

They also asked the fans how to take the bus, which bus to take.

[What would this family do without Xiao Jin?!]

[Can’t the fans be more restrained?]

[So drunk, a whole group surrounding them, don’t even know if they’re stalkers, if not for the crew intervening, they might have tried to grab them.]

…

Facing so many adults, the kids all hid behind Chu Xijin, even Zhu Wenzhen and Mao Xiaomiao were no exception.

Xiao Miao said it wasn’t fear of being grabbed, just that their fervent expressions made her feel like an animal.

Zhu Wenzhen was afraid they’d snatch him away. Last time’s trafficker experiment was still fresh in his memory, so many people now, if the kid group wasn’t careful, he’d be the one kidnapped to the remote mountains, how pathetic that would be.

Chu Xijin, on the other hand, directed the crowd like a traffic cop: “Many residents need to pass here, let’s not block their way, or we’ll be arrested for disturbing public order, hope the brothers and sisters can give way.”

The fans obediently made room for passersby where he pointed.

Chu Xijin praised them, “Thank you for your cooperation, the weather is hot today, it’s uncomfortable for you to squeeze here, and you can’t take many photos, how about you tell us what poses you like, we’ll strike them, you take your photos and then disperse to avoid heatstroke, alright?”

Some at the scene agreed, others kept screaming.

Chu Xijin frowned; his brows immediately turned sharp: “If you’re unwilling, to avoid the crew being reprimanded, we’ll take a cab and leave.”

“Willing!”

“Yes, yes, we’re willing.”

Everyone quickly responded.

[Heh, I just laugh and say nothing.]

[If it were big stars, okay, but crowding around five kids, with only Xiao Jin not scared, don’t they have any self-awareness?]

[Ahhh, am I the only one who thinks Angry Xiao Jin is handsome? Totally fits the trope of the ill-natured male lead in historical novels, all gentle and mild outside, but ruthless inside.]
