Chapter 273

The broadcast time of the program was earlier than expected. The program recorded on Wednesday would be broadcast on Friday night.

It was still in the prime time of 8:30 p.m. on Meng City Sports Channel, one of the hottest channels.

Meng City Sports Channel was also considered a relatively popular channel. The program settings were quite distinctive. There was no fixed schedule like those TV drama channels that broadcast various TV dramas at fixed times every day. Sports channels decided what events were hot and when to broadcast more freely.

This marathon had been hyped up for a long time. Many advertisements about the interview program on Friday night had been released.

"The millionaire coming out of the mountains!"

"Her record-breaking secret?"

"Run, college student."

With these titles and photos, the channel advertised itself within the sports channel.

Xiao Qi also saw it. The millionaire coming out of the mountains referred to the athlete Li Miaomiao. Xiao Qi also paid attention during the interview. The host focused more on Li Miaomiao, who was an official athlete and key training target. Li Miaomiao also talked a lot, even shedding tears when she was moved.

In contrast, Xiao Qi was like a rabbit that had accidentally sneaked in. She occasionally answered one or two sentences. Her interview time was definitely the least on the spot, even less than the coach's interview time.

Finally, the photo of her with the slogan "Run, college student" was a picture of her at the marathon, running with sports aesthetics but an unsightly face, since it was impossible for anyone to look like a tidy fairy after finishing a marathon. Just not having a hideous expression could be considered good-looking. "Her record-breaking secret?" also showed Li Miaomiao's professional training photos, in a professional training ground, with her coach's gentle smile.

They probably went to Li Miaomiao's training ground to take photos specially.

Compared to her, Xiao Qi was more like someone just there to make up the numbers.

Miel felt it was unfair. Xiao Qi got second place, which was more amazing. Li Miaomiao only got fourth place.

Xiao Qi felt it was quite good. She was still a freshman. Being famous was useless to her. Getting the money was very rewarding. Anything else was extra.

With the bankbooks in hand, Sheng Juanhua and Su Youfu had calm expressions, still the same as usual. Everyone admired their calmness. But in fact, no one paid special attention to them. The one million bonus was just a joke to everyone.

Even Su Youfu's mother Li Fengjiao didn't really believe it. She just wanted to take the chance to make trouble and ask for money for her eldest brother's birthday to save face.

Hearing that Sheng Juanhua and Su Youfu came back empty-handed after selling bamboo baskets, and probably didn't make much money after being chased out by her, she was annoyed that her eldest son's wife had spent more money, so she went over the next day instead of that day. Fortunately Li Fengjiao came the next day. Otherwise, if she had come that day, she might have noticed something wrong, although she looked down on Su Youfu, he was still her own son.

"Your uncle is having his birthday this Friday. You three brothers should all go. Your third brother is not married yet, so he chips in 500 yuan. You two have families, so 1,000 yuan per family." Li Fengjiao said matter-of-factly.

Hearing her mother-in-law's matter-of-course tone, Sheng Juanhua almost laughed from anger.

Let alone she had 1 million yuan in her bankbook, even with 10 million yuan, she would still feel angry.

There was no reason to contribute 1,000 yuan for a birthday party. Ask anyone in the village, no one did that.

If she agreed this time, who knew what else her mother-in-law would make trouble over next time.

Sheng Juanhua reached back and pinched her husband's waist.

Su Youfu frowned and took out all the money from his shirt pocket and two trouser pockets. There were only two 10 yuan notes, the rest were 1 yuan and 5 yuan notes, with very few 10 yuan notes.

He counted it all once, then again. Only a little over 240 yuan in total.

"Mom, this is all the money I have on me. We really can't take out 1,000 yuan. Pushing us is useless since we don't have it. You think I'm useless anyway, so be it." Li Fengjiao came to make trouble, so some villagers came to watch the show. No one didn't privately say Li Fengjiao was muddled, her children were all grown up yet she still wanted money from her natal family, which didn't need her hard-earned money anyway. She felt her natal family was prestigious so she flaunted it at every turn.

Seeing Su Youfu dig through his pockets but only take out a little over 200 yuan, and Li Fengjiao still refusing to budge, it was really...

"Humph! You went to sell bamboo baskets yesterday yet only have this little money. You're tricking your old mother!" Li Fengjiao felt she lost face and scolded them in front of the villagers.

"Mom, we made bamboo baskets. They're not gold or silver. Getting this much money means Youfu has good skills. If you don't believe me, ask the other villagers. Everyone knows the price since they've all sold bamboo baskets before." Sheng Juanhua took the chance to bring this up. Some villagers were jealous Su Youfu could earn money and copied his products to sell in the city, but no one wanted them. They sold for even less than winnowing baskets.

If the villagers hadn't witnessed the lead-up, Li Fengjiao would be kowtowing at the door sobbing her son was unfilial and asking everyone to judge.

But her silly eldest son took out all his money, yet she still refused to let it go, so she couldn't show weakness.

She grabbed the money, not leaving a single 5 mao note, and continued scolding, "You've lost your conscience. If not for your uncle giving your family a bag of grain back then, you would've starved to death. I say you shouldn't have wasted money sending a daughter to school. Nowadays girls can earn money with any job. What's the use of studying? You'll just regret it eventually."

After taking the money, Li Fengjiao left in a huff.

The villagers watching the show also dispersed.

The living room suddenly emptied.

Sheng Juanhua was so angry her lips trembled. If not for this being her husband's mother, she really wanted to scratch her face.

Su Youfu also sat hunched in the spot where he usually wove bamboo baskets.

After a long while, Su Youfu finally said, "Wife, why don't we move to the city?"

His mother didn't like going to the city. She'd get carsick and was timid outside, only causing trouble at home. If he brought his wife to the city, his mother probably wouldn't come bother them every day.

Sheng Juanhua also thought, when would this end? Hearing her husband's suggestion, it was like everything suddenly became clear. She felt full of energy.

"Let's call our daughter. She's smart and will know what to do." Sheng Juanhua excitedly said.

"Let's call in the afternoon. Our daughter might be in class now." Su Youfu stopped his excited wife.
