Chapter 391 - Chapter 391: I Hate The Rich

Chapter 391: I Hate The Rich

Gradually, there were more and more topics to talk about between the dads.

Their talks ranged from careers to the future of their families. Everyone spoke openly. They didn’t care whether they were livestreaming or not.

Li Meng not only brought wine but also prepared wine glasses. However, she only had two pairs of wine glasses.

When she placed the bottles of wine on the table, the men were momentarily shocked. Then they saw that it was red wine and were delighted.

“Two bottles of 1982 Lafite! These are some good wines. Coach Pei, are you going to drink it?” asked Zheng Kuo and Michael at the same time.

[Is that the legendary Lafite? Tens and thousands of yuan worth per bottle?

Please don’t laugh at me. It’s my first time seeing it.]

[Li Meng is a platinum-level author. Tens and thousands of yuan for a bottle of wine is definitely not a big deal for her. I heard that authors at her level make at least 10 million a year.]

[I also have a bottle in my collection, but I can’t make myself drink it. I keep it for special occasions.]

[Special occasions? Hahaha! Are you rich? I’m seeking financial support.]

[Rich? No way, if she were, she would have already opened it and started drinking it.]

[Why are people so rich? I can’t even afford the Dream Blue, which costs around 600.]

[Me too… I can’t afford Dream Blue.]

[Since the first episode of “We’re Also Very Ordinary,” I knew that none of the guests were ordinary. Look at the things they bring with them! It’s either a limited edition item, exorbitantly expensive, or out of production! Can “ordinary” people afford something like that?]

[I hate the rich. Suster, divorce your husband and marry me.]

[I heard that Li Meng’s hobby, aside from writing, is collecting different types of wine.]

[She brought such expensive bottles of wine in a basket. I would have gently cradled them in my arms.]

Li Meng then went to the kitchen. The aroma of meat and vegetables filled the area and made everyone’s mouth water.

“I brought the wine, but we don’t have enough glasses. Sister Xia, do you have any glasses at home?” Li Meng asked. “I have a few glasses, but they are all for drinking tea.”

Using teacups for wine did indeed feel odd.

“Does anyone have wine glasses at home? I only brought four. It’s obviously not enough for so many people,” Li Meng said.

“I have some at home.” Lin Wan rarely drank alcohol, but she loved making and drinking fruit tea. She always used different cups to drink them, just to feel “There are eleven adults. Children can’t drink wine, but Xuanxuan, Xiaoxiao, and Xinxin can be considered adults, so that makes fourteen. I only have six wine glasses. It’s not enough,” said Lin Wan.

“I have four at home, but they’re the kind for drinking liquor, not really wine glasses.” Tao Jingyuan had brought them to drink boiled water.

“That’s alright. It will be enough. The children will drink milk tea in the teacups,” said Li Meng. “Wanwan, can you make a few cups of milk tea? I’ll help you.”

“Sure.” Lin Wan wanted to contribute something to the dinner. She felt better when she could help with something when eating at other people’s houses.

Lin Wan brought the glasses from her house. She also brought some grapes, passion fruits, lemons, fresh milk, and green tea.

Xia MO cleaned up the kitchen counter and left the space free for Lin Wan to make the tea.

She then continued to prepare the last two dishes.

After two hours of busy work, everyone started to eat.

[Only half an hour and the livestream will end.]

[I’m eating porridge now. Won’t it be hard to digest such a heavy meal at night?

Also, how does Lin Wan eat so much and stays so slim?]

[I also want to know. I’m on a diet, and I’ve finally lost a few pounds by avoiding carbohydrates for a day. Why is it that others can eat whatever they want without getting fat? It’s unfair!]

[I was just thinking of something. Why can’t I bring myself to buy Dream Blue? That’s because I’m poor! I asked myself why I am so poor. It’s because I don’t work hard at work! While people are making tons of money from making livestreams, I just waste my time watching them. I won’t watch it anymore. I’ll start working hard tomorrow.]

[Liu Jian University welcomes you. We need more people for work. It’s almost Chinese New Year, and many migrant workers have gone back home.]

[The Green Light Cement Factory also welcomes you. Daily wages, including meals and accommodation.]

[Victory Screw Factory is recruiting workers. Five insurances and a housing fund. Double salary at the end of the year.]

[It’s almost the end of the year, right? Everyone is rushing to hire people. Can everyone just be normal for a moment?]

[The viewers have become more and more bold in the livestreams.]

The Festival Group staff members were laughing. It was so funny that companies were trying to recruit workers in the comments of a reality TV show!

The assistant director commented using his real name:

[We need everyone in the livestreaming rooms. If you all go to work in factories, who will guarantee our viewership ratings?]

[Is that the director? Really?! Are the directors watching the comments? Do they have so much free time?]

[It’s mealtime, sisters. It’s break time.]

[No, no, no! This is the first time the director has commented. Are you sure it’s not a bot?]

[I’m the assistant director. The director is watching nearby.]

[Oh my, does that mean everyone is watching?!]

[Director, I want to be an extra on your show. My profile picture is my own.

Please take a look at it!]

[In that case, I won’t hold back either. Director, consider me too! I’ve played an extra before.]

[We don’t need extras for our variety show.]

[Everyone, give up already.]

[Work hard and raise a talented child. Maybe someday they’ll get on the show, and you can ride on their coattails.]

[What about unmarried people? How do we do that?]

[Arrange blind dates. Speaking of which, Chinese New Year is almost here. Are you prepared to face the challenges of returning to your hometown? Do you have jobs? How are your salaries? Do you have boyfriends? Are they wealthy?] [I’ve been mentally preparing for those dreaded questions.]

[When I go home, I have to cross a bridge at the entrance of the village. The pictures of old men and old ladies gossiping on the bridge on the internet are so real. That’s exactly how they are. I have to pass by them every time I go to my hometown.]

[Hahaha, that’s hilarious!]

[With the embellishments from the old folks, someone’s reputation gets ruined every day.]

[Business opportunity! I can chat and accompany you to meet your parents for a few bucks. Please send a private message if interested.]

[Why are you everywhere?]

The comments shifted from talking about wine and wealth to work and returning to the village for the holidays. In short, nobody paid attention to the group of people having dinner in the courtyard anymore.

At 7 p.m., the director shut down the livestream.

The screen went black, and everyone started to talk openly.

After sobering up, Li Meng poured some wine into different glasses.

Lin Wan looked at the wine. The Royal Water Bay Villa also had a few bottles, but she had never opened them. In her original world, this brand of wine was very expensive. As a small-time streamer, she couldn’t bring herself to buy it.

Everyone raised their glasses and took the first sip. The children had milk tea and fruit tea instead.

The parents praised the wine, while the children praised the tea.

Led by Tutu, a few other children surrounded Lin Wan and praised her.

“Auntie Lin, is there more? I want to drink to my heart’s content,” said Tutu, holding his teacup high.

Lin Wan brought out the teapot and placed it on the table. “Here. Help yourselves.”

The children carried the pot to a small table at the side and lined up to fill their cups.

Li Zexuan, Xiao Yi, and Li Zexin were very envious..
