A Favor Done, A Husband Won-Chapter 571 - 565: Sweet Extra – Celebrity Couple Variety Show 50

Shi Su was focused on grinding the garlic, not turning around, and replied to Zhang Kerong with her back facing her, "He does cook sometimes when he’s not busy." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Wow, Mr. Jing’s truly a man of both boardrooms and kitchens alike. Such a good man can’t even be scripted this way in dramas. Shi Su, you’re truly lucky," Zhang Kerong couldn’t help but admire.

"It’s not that exaggerated. It’s just that occasionally my daughter and I get lazy and want to treat ourselves. I love the ribs he makes, and my daughter loves the steak he grills. He occasionally indulges us. In life, everyone shines in their own ways and supports each other. Isn’t that the true essence of a happy and harmonious marriage? What’s so unscriptable about it? They even have mountains without edges and heavens coming together in scripts." Shi Su chuckled as she placed the freshly ground garlic into a bowl and raised her garlic-scented hands, "I’ll go wash my hands."

Then Zhang Kerong stepped aside, handing the cucumber in her hand to Xv Qingqing, who was coming over, and continued standing by Shi Su, looking thoughtful.

"Kerong, you should head out first. Soon, there’ll be frying and chopping, all with oil and smoke smells. You just bathed, and there’s no spare apron right now. You should go rest, and we’ll collect rubber in the afternoon," Xv Qingqing patted Zhang Kerong’s shoulder.

Zhang Kerong realized she offered to help but indeed had nothing to do, so she didn’t argue, turned around, and left, picking a rosy tomato from the vegetable basket beside Shi Su before going.

"I’ve heard Zhang Kerong entered the industry at twelve or thirteen. She may not have many works, but she’s considered a child star. Probably learned from adults in the circle, as her speech feels slippery and impractical," Xv Qingqing commented casually while turning to her tasks.

Shi Su could tell Xv Qingqing also noticed that Zhang Kerong wasn’t very reliable, but since everyone had to get along for a while, Xv Qingqing, as the elder sister, hoped there would be no conflicts.

"It’s okay, everyone’s personality differs. Being colleagues but not friends is fine as long as the professional relationship is well-maintained," Shi Su pointed out, hinting Xv Qingqing needn’t play mediator further.

Shi Su isn’t the type who likes stirring things up, but if she feels someone is trying to hassle her, she’s not one to turn a blind eye consistently.

Her character is known by quite a few in the entertainment circle.

Xv Qingqing just smiled, turned back to start making her cold noodles.

After a refreshing light lunch, everyone skipped rest and directly headed to the rubber forest; Shi Su felt uneasy in the stomach earlier in the morning, especially with the rubber’s smell irking her, but was fine now, likely thanks to the lunch being light, she felt no discomfort when working.

Once they were back in the afternoon, everyone was getting quite adept at collecting rubber, much faster than in the morning.

Ami and Wei Sinan’s bucket was quite large and nearly full. Ami worried it might overflow, noticed Wei Sinan busy at another spot, hurriedly called Lin Xu over to help lift the bucket down together.

Meanwhile, Zhang Kerong’s bucket was also nearing full. She glanced back but didn’t see Lin Xu, quickly turned to Jing Jihan, who was helping others nearby, "Mr. Jing, my bucket’s nearly full too, help me out, okay?"
