Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: The Recruitment Contest!

It had happened in the afternoon when Aunt Ying’s son and daughter heard about Lai Fu’s situation and had rushed back from the city specifically.

They went straight to Jiang Li’s door and insisted on thanking her.

The neighboring villagers, upon hearing the news, also came by and got even more excited when they heard that Jiang Li could draw the Eternal Life Talisman.

Word spread quickly, and soon the whole Chixia Village, even the surrounding villages, knew that among the TV crew there was a master fortune teller who was young but very capable.

Before long, Uncle Zhao’s house was packed with people.

Some came to ask for talismans, others to have their fortunes told, and the rest were just there to watch the excitement.

...

Qi Tianyu and the others stood in the corridor, their mouths unanimously shaped into “O”s.

Beside them, Shu Yan clicked her tongue in admiration, “This scene is no less than our fan meet, and these uncles and aunts are even more enthusiastic than fans.”

The live-stream viewers were also stunned.

“I’m going, is this grand gathering all for Jiang Li? Has Jiang Li really become famous in Chixia Village now?”

“I thought Sister Li had turned her fortunes around, but it turns out she’s already at the top.”

“Humph, what’s the use of these villagers liking her? Old men and old women can’t go online and vote, making it in the entertainment industry still depends on us.”

“So many people want to invite Jiang Li to dinner, count me in, I want to join in the fun too.”

“I want to freeload +1, but Lili seems to have seen through the world and is unmoved; if not, I’ll go eat on her behalf.”

Soon after, the village chief also heard the news and rushed over.

Seeing everyone crowded in Uncle Zhao’s yard around Jiang Li, he quickly frowned, climbed the nearby stairs, and shouted:

“Everyone quiet down, quiet down! What kind of behavior is this, making noise here while they are filming a TV show? I’ve heard that millions are watching our show now, giving the whole country such an image of us is like letting them point at our noses and curse us for being rude.”

Upon hearing this, the noise gradually subsided.

Seeing his authority still held sway, the village chief nodded in satisfaction.

“That’s more like it. It’s our fortune that Miss Jiang came to our village to help us. Fortune-telling is a matter of fate that can’t be forced. She is a master, a rare one at that; we shouldn’t be forcing her like this in our law-abiding and harmonious society.”

“Here’s what we’ll do, Jiang Li is coming to my house for dinner tonight, consider that as my way of thanking her on your behalf.”

The villagers: “?”

Aunt Ying was not pleased.

“Village chief, that’s not the way to handle it, is it? Miss Jiang saved your Hu Zi before; it’s right for you to invite her, but how does that count as inviting her on our behalf? No way, don’t include mine.”

“Yeah,” Aunt Lin chimed in. “My daughter has been telling me to properly thank Master Jiang, we can’t just send some food and be done with it; Master Jiang should come to our house for dinner tonight.”

As soon as the two aunts started, the crowd that had just quieted down became noisy again.

Jiang Li couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

“How about this,” she spoke up, “everyone comes to the village chief’s house for dinner tonight, each bringing a dish. I’ll also make two, and let that be our way of thanking everyone for supporting our show these past few days.”

Aunt Ying nodded, “Miss Jiang has a good idea, and it just so happens I smoked some meat over the past two days. I’ll make a dish of chili fried meat and bring it over.”
