Exactly! Netizens who saw this nodded in agreement.
They're too busy being angry to care anymore.
Everyone wanted to know whether Sister-in-law Shanying's husband, who was a professional at slacking off, would ever be able to get off that dilapidated sofa and work with his wife to get rich and live a comfortable life.
One netizen felt particularly strongly involved—
"You have two sons! As a mother of two sons, I'm telling you, you need to start planning early! Two sons mean two wedding houses! Two dowries! Plus two wedding banquets! In the city, who would dare to have two sons without several million?"
"Tell your husband, if he doesn't get up and work, his son won't be able to find a wife, and their family line will end!!!"
Chapter 191
Sister Shanying's video, because it included the trending online topics of "professional lazy husband" and "family with two sons," actually got more views and comments than the first episode!
What's remarkable is that male and female netizens, who used to be on opposing sides, actually stood on Shan Ying's side this time!
Some male netizens even seemed angrier than the female netizens.
The reason is simple—
It's already difficult for modern men to get married, and even if they do, they might get divorced. It's because there are so many negative examples like Jiang Xiaohui that men's reputations are ruined and their public image is damaged, which is why they can't find wives!
Jiang Xiaohui, a professional slacker, must be expelled from the ranks of "good men"!
Otherwise, if girls mistakenly believe that even a scoundrel like Jiang Xiaohui can be called a good man, wouldn't they become even more afraid of marriage?
Even male netizens couldn't stand it anymore, let alone female netizens?
Many of Jiang Xiaoman's fans are wealthy fans who were brought over from Jiang Cancan's side.
The well-off older women and aunties said:
Don't be afraid, Shan Ying! Neither your family nor your husband's family wants you, come to your sister/aunt!
It just so happens that my family/relatives are short of a live-in nanny. If we send the children to boarding school, you can support both sons' schooling by working alone.
The idea of being a live-in nanny sounds tough, but compared to the intensity of work Yamazakura does at home, it's practically like a vacation!
Moreover, even if Yama-sakura did housework at home until she died, she would still be a free nanny who didn't receive a single penny.
In their province of H, a live-in nanny with good cooking skills can easily earn over 10,000 yuan a month, plus room and board. She can save at least 7,000 to 8,000 yuan each month. Wouldn't it be better to save for retirement? Why stay in her hometown and be a free nanny for a man?
Jiang Xiaoman's original intention in making this video was to let netizens (and the upcoming leaders) see how rural women can find jobs and improve their family conditions right at their doorsteps, driven by the e-commerce economy.
Unexpectedly, everyone's attention was focused on Yama Sakura's lazy husband...
Besides playing video games, Jiang Xiaohui also enjoys watching short videos. He also follows Jiang Xiaoman and has seen his videos, including comments criticizing him and encouraging his wife to divorce him.
Jiang Xiaohui immediately couldn't sit still.
He may not like doing housework, but that doesn't mean he wants to divorce his wife!
It's so hard to find a wife in the countryside these days! Forget about unmarried women, even divorced women are in high demand!
I bet he divorced Shanying this morning, and by the afternoon someone was already proposing marriage to her!
That won't do!
If my wife runs away, who will farm the land? Who will feed the pigs? Who will take care of the two children?
Jiang Xiaohui peeked out and saw his wife drying the radishes she had just cut that morning in the yard.
Great opportunity!
No sooner said than done! Jiang Xiaohui put down his phone, pretended to be diligent, and ran over to help his wife turn over the dried radish.
The dried radish here isn't the kind of white radish cut into long strips, but rather green radish cut into thick slices. It needs to be turned several times while drying, otherwise it will easily rot if water gets trapped at the bottom.
However, these thicker dried radishes taste better than radish strips made from white radishes, especially when stir-fried with meat or made into pickles. In Langshan, if a family doesn't have dried radish stir-fried with meat on their New Year's table, their relatives will laugh at them.
"Why are you out here?" Shan Ying was startled to see her husband in the yard, helping her with chores. It was more surprising than a wild boar jumping out of the yard.
"Sakura, I've made up my mind. From now on, if there's any chores around the house that need to be done, just call me and I'll help you!"
What the heck?
Has the sun risen in the west?
Or was Jiang Xiaohui possessed by something strange?
If the shaman hadn't been absent, Shan Ying would have really wanted to invite him to her house to exorcise the evil spirits from Jiang Xiaohui...
As it turns out, the lazy and cowardly Jiang Xiaohui wasn't possessed by any strange "friend" spirit; he was just terrified that his wife would run away.
I was genuinely scared.
After all, as a spoiled eldest son who was ruined by his own mother, Jiang Xiaohui had never even washed a dish more than a few times in his life!
Other men are busy taking care of their wives during their postpartum period.
In their family, when his wife was in postpartum confinement, Jiang Xiaohui ate postpartum meals with her.
Jiang Xiaohui gained over ten pounds after his wife finished her postpartum confinement, while he ate and drank excessively!
Jiang Xiaohui's parents worked themselves to death long ago after raising such a lazy son. Now, the only person in the world still willing to cook for him and support him is his wife.
Jiang Xiaohui couldn't even imagine what would happen if Shan Ying really left this family... He and his two sons would definitely starve to death!
From that day on, Jiang Xiaohui put down his phone and awkwardly followed behind his wife. When she cooked pig feed, he was in charge of starting the fire; when she gathered pig feed, he was in charge of bagging and carrying it...
Although she is still clumsy and even broke two bowls at home, she has made great progress compared to before, when she would wipe her mouth after eating and lie down on the sofa!
"Xiaoman! If I had known earlier that you would come and film a video, he could have changed. I would have invited you last year!" Shanying was overjoyed and specially caught an old hen from her home to give to Jiang Xiaoman to eat.
I heard that Jiang Xiaohui had a sudden realization after reading the massive amount of advice to break up in his comment section, and actually started learning to do housework. Jiang Xiaoman couldn't stop laughing and happily accepted this speckled old hen.
He ate the chicken without any guilt whatsoever.
Encouraging people to do good and unintentionally saving a family—that's a great act of merit!
However, considering that Jiang Xiaohui had reformed after reading the comments, Jiang Xiaoman specially filmed an after-sales video. First, she showed Jiang Xiaohui running around and working with his wife. Then, she went into the kitchen and personally cooked the old hen that Shanying had given him.
Half is used for soup, and the other half is used for braised dishes.
He even shared this with his fans online, telling them that he was able to get this chicken dish thanks to the hard work of his fans in the comments section of his previous video, who left those encouraging comments that suggested he break up with his girlfriend!
The fans are furious!
Fine, you can eat it, but why post it online so late at night? Ugh! This is the chicken they (the keyboard warriors) earned!
However, everyone was still happy to see that the professional slacker had turned into a clingy, affectionate husband.
Especially those whose husbands also tended to be lazy, staring at Jiang Xiaohui, who had become exceptionally diligent after turning over a new leaf, couldn't help but fall into deep thought...
After updating the after-sales video for Shanying's store, the next day, having tasted the success of this series, Jiang Xiaoman carried a tripod and went to film his first employee—Miss Lang Ying.
Longtime fans are very familiar with Lang Ying. Upon seeing her, they immediately think of her scumbag ex-husband who lost his kidney. Those who haven't followed the story ask about her former in-laws who harassed her before.
"Hehe~ After we finish filming here, I'll switch to a more discreet camera and take you guys to see how those two old folks are doing now." Jiang Xiaoman chuckled.
Upon hearing this, longtime fans couldn't help but spit out a "Pah!"
Do those two old fogies even deserve to use the honorific "elderly person"?
Some women from rural areas who have also been bullied by their terrible in-laws felt a strong sense of empathy and couldn't help but send their most vicious greetings to the couple in the comments section.
Lang Ying had always appeared in Jiang Xiaoman's videos as a supporting actress, and this was her first time as the lead actress. At first, she was a little hesitant to perform.
Later, Jiang Xiaoman changed the shooting angle, only filming her hands and side profile while she was working, without the camera directly facing her. Only then did the shy Lang Ying relax.
However, even longtime fans didn't expect that Lang Ying looked even better from the side than from the front!
As expected, women who are serious about their careers, whether they are company executives or rural women, are very charming!
In fact, the work Lang Ying did was the same kind of work that rural people do every day. It's just that in addition to her own chores, she also had to take care of the tasks assigned to her by Jiang Xiaoman.
After autumn arrives, the most valuable honey of the year can be harvested.
Recently, Shan Yan has been taking his apprentices to collect honey from house to house.
The collected honey was sorted by grade and then packaged by Jiang Yu, Lang Ying, and the others. Finally, it was moved to Jiang Xiaoman's courier station to wait for the courier truck to pick it up and deliver it to customers who had already placed pre-orders.
Because they would be handling food, not just anyone could help, so Jiang Yu designated a few people, including Lang Ying, who had all undergone medical examinations and obtained health certificates and work permits.
After finishing her chores at home in the morning, Lang Ying basically spends the whole day helping out at Jiang Yu's place. In the afternoon, after picking up her child, she goes to Jiang Xiaoman's courier station, where she works the evening shift, earning fifty yuan for half a day, which includes a meal.
The pay may not seem like much, but because the work isn't strenuous and you can take care of your child, it's a part-time job that's highly envied in the village.
Based on this calculation, Lang Ying earns over 100 yuan a day from two part-time jobs. In addition to the basic salary from the cooperative and her income from selling dried radishes, she can earn at least 7,000 yuan this month.
He received more than Jiang Baichuan, the primary school principal, actually did!
The villagers all said that Lang Ying's suffering had finally come to an end.
Lang Ying herself also felt that way.
She's almost forgotten what her ex-husband looks like. Just like what netizens said, she gets a salary every month, owns a house, land, and kids. What does she need a man for? Just to cause her trouble?
Anyway, since Jiang Erming got rid of his troublesome ways, Miss Lang Ying's quality of life has improved dramatically.
A woman who is nourished by love is beautiful.
A woman who is nourished by her career is more beautiful.
At that moment, neither Jiang Xiaoman nor Lang Ying knew that it was this video that caught the eye of the renowned director Liang Songyun, a rural woman who had never even worked as an extra...
The script for the film "The Road to Glory" starring award-winning actor Jiang Yuan has been basically polished.
However, a new problem arose—
The script was completely overhauled and polished. There was a very important female role, and several actresses were auditioned, but no one could be chosen.
The new script adds a group portrait of left-behind mothers, including a rural woman who was divorced by her husband due to domestic violence and was so impoverished that she was about to commit suicide by drowning. Encouraged by poverty alleviation cadres, she joined the cooperative and eventually became a capable assistant to the protagonist.
Logically speaking, this kind of role shouldn't be too difficult, and actors should be easy to find. Moreover, for a big-budget poverty alleviation drama like theirs, even without pay, there are plenty of newcomers who want to get in and make an appearance.
The problem is that there are too many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, but it's hard to find someone who matches this kind of temperament.
Liang Songyun refused to compromise.
After all, it was co-directed by several big-name directors. Everyone on Earth knows how fierce the competition is between these big directors, cough!
While the other directors were waiting to see Director Liang make a fool of himself, Liang Songyun accidentally came across Jiang Xiaoman's newly updated video.
