Chapter 54 -54: The Road to Hell

Wu Yuerou’s face was twisted with pain, and for a moment she forgot to manage her expression. She even cried out, “Ouch! These steps down really are killing me!”

Han Jiangxue was walking ahead of Wu Yuerou, clenching her teeth tightly and descending with a composed expression. Every step she took down the stairs, the soreness and swelling in her legs increased a notch—indeed, it was killing her!

Wu Yuerou continued to complain, “This isn’t a path down the mountain, it’s practically a road to hell. I feel like my legs are no longer legs…”

As sore and numb as if they were the legs of a walking corpse, descending step by step was driven solely by the need to get down the mountain.

“Xiao Xue, does it not hurt for you? You can actually keep going down,” Wu Yuerou grimaced in pain with every step she took.

Han Jiangxue’s own features started to contort as she gripped the railings on either side of the stairs, forcing her way down and gritting her teeth, “It’s okay, we need to move faster. The rain is getting heavier.”

Thinking back to what Ye Zhenzhen had said earlier, Han Jiangxue would rather die than admit that going down the mountain was torturous.

Although that feeling was indeed torturous, indeed killing!

[HAHAHA! The road to hell]

[Honestly, Wu Yuerou isn’t exaggerating at all. Last time I went hiking up Anshan, I nearly didn’t make it halfway down.]

[Pfft! That face hit too fast, hahaha.]

[Didn’t Sister Wu just say she felt pretty good? Looking at her pained expression, I really laughed out loud.]

[I just want to say, when Ye Zhenzhen said going downhill was deadly, who was it that said they felt quite good?]

While Han Jiangxue and Wu Yuerou were still slowly descending step by step in the rain, Ye Zhenzhen had already led the children to the bottom of the mountain.

The temperature in the mountains differed greatly from that outside; it wasn’t raining at the foot of the mountain, and the temperature was also higher.

With the trip back to Jiangcheng scheduled for tomorrow, Lin Qianqian took Fang Xiaoyu for another stroll in the night market. Xu Wanjia felt very tired, and Yang Yike had already fallen asleep in her arms, so she went straight back with Xiao Yiyi to rest.

Ye Zhenzhen still had plenty of funds on hand. Now that it was mealtime, she thought of taking Xiao Chen to eat first, and then to walk around the scenic area before going back to rest.

Only An Ruilin and Shen Yibo were left without a place in the scenic area.

Ye Zhenzhen had originally planned to take these two youngsters to dine together, but considering Wu Yuerou and Han Jiangxue were not easy to deal with, any complications during the meal could cause her a lot of trouble.

Besides, she had no obligation to take care of Han Jiangxue’s and Wu Yuerou’s children; she just needed to look after Song Yuchen.

With the cameraman brother from the show’s crew around, there was no need to worry about the safety of the two youngsters.

Before leaving, Ye Zhenzhen negotiated with the cameraman brother following the two youngsters to make sure everything was fine, then left with Song Yuchen.

The two little ones stayed in the rest area of the scenic spot waiting for their moms.

Ye Zhenzhen, accompanied by Xiao Chen, found a farmhouse restaurant with a special flair in the scenic area. Thinking of the breeze they had experienced on the mountain, she ordered a pot of native chicken soup to help Xiao Chen warm up with some hot soup.

Then she ordered a plate of river prawns and a serving of seasonal vegetables.

The prices here were not cheap, but the food tasted great, all coming from the pristine produce of the mountains. Both adult and child ate to their satisfaction.

[The native chicken soup from the mountains is really delicious!]

[Ye Zhenzhen knows how to enjoy life.]

[Ye Zhenzhen, as a stepmom taking care of kids, is doing a fine job.]

Ye Zhenzhen’s live broadcast room was exuding warmth and harmony, but Han Jiangxue and Wu Yuerou were having a tough time.

When they came down the mountain, they were really running on fumes.

Unfortunately, some gleeful netizens took screenshots in the live broadcast room, capturing Wu Yuerou’s words and expressions and posted them to Weibo. In just a few hours, they turned into a “face-slapping” meme, spreading across all the major entertainment platforms.

#The road to hell!# This trending topic, paired with Wu Yuerou’s pained expressions and a picture of the endless descending steps, quickly went viral across the internet.

Many netizens who hadn’t watched the live stream or followed “Mom’s Companion” started searching what ‘The road to hell’ was all about.

After learning what had happened, they left comments laughing;

[Hahaha! Wu Yuerou’s description is so apt!]

[Anyone who has climbed a mountain knows that the ascent is thrilling, but the descent is a matter of life and death]

[Hahaha, is this reality show specifically designed to be a face-slapping comedy?]

[Yet all these face-slapping comedic topics start because of Wu Yuerou. She truly deserves her title as a reality show star.]

Han Jiangxue caught in the rain on the mountain, sneezed frequently after descending, feeling not just sore all over but also dizzy.

When Shen Yibo saw Han Jiangxue at this moment, he immediately asked for food, “Mom, you’re finally down. What are we eating tonight? I’m so hungry!”

Han Jiangxue was thoroughly annoyed, breathing out heavily, “No money.”

The tone wasn’t particularly bad, but it certainly wasn’t good.

Shen Yibo pouted, his chubby little face looking like he was about to cry, “Then what should we do?”

With no money, there’s no food, does that mean they were going to starve?

[That’s your beloved son, can’t you soften your tone?]

[Poor little chubby, looks like there’s no dinner for tonight]

[Xiao Xue looks so tired, and she still has to take care of the child]

Wu Yuerou was also sneezing repeatedly, her jacket soaked through to the skin, feeling chilly in the breezy evening. She held An Ruilin’s hand and suggested, “Let’s go back and take a bath before we think about what to eat for dinner.”

If they kept up like this, she feared she might faint.

Indeed, after the two returned to the room with their children and took a bath, they simply didn’t have the energy to move, let alone eat.

But Shen Yibo and An Ruilin, starving and unable to bear it any longer, cried loudly in their room. Without cameras in this guesthouse, Han Jiangxue yelled at Shen Yibo irritably: “Crying for what? Cry, cry, cry, all day you only think about eating, if you want to eat then figure out a way to find food yourself!”

Her shouting not only stunned Shen Yibo but also left Wu Yuerou and her child dumbfounded, “Xiao Xue, are you too tired? Don’t scare Yibo.”

Wu Yuerou had never expected Han Jiangxue, who was always gentle and good-tempered, to yell at Shen Yibo.

Han Jiangxue seemed to realize her inappropriate behavior. She was so tired just a moment ago she almost fell asleep with her eyes closed, never considering that Wu Yuerou and her son were still in the room.

She slightly sat up, pulling Shen Yibo closer to her, and whispered, “Yibo, mom is really tired right now. Can you stop fussing, please?”

Shen Yibo was somewhat afraid of Han Jiangxue looking like this. In the past, Han Jiangxue had always said things that scared him, but she had never yelled at him. Now after being yelled at, he felt this stepmother was fierce and terrifying.

Shen Yibo looked at Han Jiangxue with wary eyes, “I want to eat! I’m hungry.”

An Ruilin also looked towards Wu Yuerou, “Mom, I’m hungry too.”
