After returning home, Lin Cheng returned the 12.5 pieces of land to Lin Momo.
"Thanks!"
Facing the girl's grateful smile, Lin Cheng's expression softened a little.
However, the next second, Lin Cheng frowned and said, "There won't be a next time."
"Ah?" Lin Momo was puzzled.
Seeing this, Lin Cheng patiently explained: "I will earn the money needed for the show, you don't have to think too much, and it's dangerous for you to go out."
"But,"
Lin Momo originally wanted to fight for her "money-making plan", but when she met Lin Cheng's serious and stern eyes, Lin Momo immediately backed down.
"Have you finished your work today?" Lin Momo asked Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng: “…”
Lin Cheng still needs 4 orders for today's guaranteed order, and because he brought Lin Momo back early, he did not return to the site to settle today's salary.
Looking at the time, it was almost 7 o'clock in the afternoon, so Lin Cheng called the distribution station directly and did not go back.
"Let's go, have dinner."
"good."
"It's my treat today!" Lin Momo said excitedly.
Hearing this, Lin Cheng just glanced at Lin Momo calmly, and then asked: "Would you like to eat buns?"
Lin Momo: “…” It seems like the money she earned today is only enough to buy buns
—
Lin Cheng took Lin Momo to a nearby restaurant that looked cleaner for dinner. On the way home, the two of them carried two roasted sweet potatoes that they bought with the money Lin Momo earned.
After returning home, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo continued to sit on each side of the room, minding their own business.
Lin Cheng was holding his work phone, planning the delivery routes for tomorrow's 30 pre-ordered orders, and grabbing some orders in the process.
Lin Momo continued to hold her little notebook, and wrote down today's account with a 'serious' face.
The father and daughter did not communicate with each other throughout the whole process, but the whole scene was unexpectedly harmonious.
At night, the two of them slept in their own rooms.
After a burst of lightning and thunder in the middle of the night, it suddenly started to rain.
Lin Momo suddenly sat up from the bed, then jumped off the bed quickly.
Then there was a series of 'bang bang' sounds.
Hearing the noise outside, Lin Cheng, who was sleeping inside, woke up. When he came out, he saw Lin Momo squatting among the pile of sundries in the room, rustling around and making no one knew what she was doing.
"What are you doing?" Lin Cheng asked.
Seeing Lin Momo stand up, Lin Cheng asked again: "Are you scared by the thunder?"
"no."
Lin Momo was not awakened by the thunder just now, but by a drop of water falling on her forehead.
After that, Lin Momo pointed at the roof and said to Lin Cheng: "Our house seems to be leaking."
The old buildings are all made of brick and tile structures and have fallen into disrepair over the years. It is common for water to leak from the top floor to the first floor on rainy days. This is also the case with the house where Lin Momo and her grandmother live.
Every time this time comes, they will find all the water containers in the house to collect water from the bottom.
Just now, Lin Momo was looking for something to collect water in this house.
Hearing Lin Momo's words, Lin Cheng looked up at the roof. As expected, water droplets were already seeping out from some places.
Looking around the room, Lin Momo had already placed several water-collecting devices, pots, pans, and everything else.
"Tick-tock." Another drop of rain fell, carrying dust and spider webs from the roof, and landed right in the cup that Lin Momo usually used to fill with boiled water for him.
Lin Cheng: “…”
—
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the leaks in the house were getting worse and worse.
It was raining heavily outside and drizzling inside the house, and it was even worse in the half of the room where Lin Cheng was sleeping. It was raining moderately and the rain was flowing directly down the walls.
Soon, the whole house was in a mess, and the containers that Lin Momo found were not enough.
"The water leaking from above will soon drain away and won't accumulate." Seeing Lin Cheng frowning beside her, Lin Momo comforted him.
This is something I learn from experience.
Lin Cheng did not comment on this.
It was impossible to sleep in this situation, so the two of them had to find the only place outside that was not dripping and sit down to wait for the rain to stop.
Looking at the miserable state of the two, several comments suddenly popped up in the originally quiet live broadcast room.
Oh my god, I couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night and ended up in this situation.
Lin Cheng and his daughter are so miserable.
I had just finished working overtime and was already feeling miserable, but when I saw Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, I suddenly felt that life could go on again.
A capital word "miserable".
No wonder Lin Cheng let his daughter sleep outside while he slept inside. He had been staring at the walls and the roof for so long before, he must have guessed that the house would leak when it rained, and that the leakage inside would be more serious than outside, so he let his daughter sleep outside.
The truth is out.
What should we do now? Don’t you want to think of a solution
There is nothing we can do in this situation but wait for the rain to stop.
…
This sudden rainstorm didn't stop until the second half of the night.
At this time, water was still dripping in the room.
Lin Momo sat quietly in the chair, staring at the raindrops falling from the roof into the already full basin, and gradually began to feel sleepy.
Lin Cheng looked down at Lin Momo and saw that Lin Momo's eyes had begun to blur and her upper and lower eyelids were fighting.
Just when Lin Cheng was considering whether to take Lin Momo out to find another place to rest, he saw the girl's head tilt and fall to one side.
Lin Cheng reached out and caught Lin Momo's head which was about to hit the table.
The temperature from his palm, which was obviously higher than normal, made Lin Cheng realize that something was wrong.
"Lin Momo." Lin Cheng called out.
Lin Momo also responded subconsciously: "Hmm?"
"Wake up."
"Hmm." Lin Momo tried hard to open her eyes, but she felt as if her eyes were glued together and couldn't open them no matter what.
Lin Cheng raised his hand again to test the temperature on Lin Momo's forehead, and his brows frowned even deeper.
Lin Momo must have a fever, and the temperature is not low.
At this time, the cameramen and director crew had returned to their temporary hotel, leaving only a few fixed cameras.
"Can you hear me?"
"Hmm." Lin Momo responded vaguely and shook her head.
"I'll take you to the hospital." After saying that, Lin Cheng didn't delay any longer. He found two pieces of clothes to wrap Lin Momo, then carried her out the door.
Because there was no camera crew following them, after the two people left the house, they could no longer be seen in the live broadcast room.
Did Lin Momo catch a cold and have a fever
Of course, my face is burning red.
Children of this age are indeed prone to catching colds and fevers.
And Lin Momo walked such a long way today.
At this time, there was no director team following me, and I didn’t know what was going on. It was so frustrating.
Worry.
Please don't get into any trouble!
…
More and more people came to the live broadcast room, and more and more people began to discuss this matter.
Because of this incident, in the middle of the night, the name "Lin Cheng" once again became a hot search after nearly a decade.
Lin Cheng didn't know about this and didn't want to know at all.
Holding Lin Momo, who was as hot as a small stove, a rare trace of nervousness appeared on Lin Cheng's cold face, which he was not even aware of.
The rain outside had stopped. The tricycle that Lin Cheng drove out from the distribution station stopped downstairs. He placed Lin Momo in the back seat of the tricycle, and Lin Cheng rode the tricycle quickly to the nearest hospital.
After entering the emergency room, doctors and nurses soon came to greet us.
"What's going on? Do you have a fever?"
"Um."
"Come and take your temperature first. If it's a high fever, you may need antipyretics."
"Are you the child's father?" the doctor asked after putting Lin Momo on the hospital bed.
"No,"
"Isn't this your child?" the doctor looked at Lin Cheng strangely and asked.
Lin Cheng frowned slightly.
At this time, the doctor asked again: "Is it true?"
"yes."
"How is she?" Lin Cheng asked again.
"38.7, a high fever. Give you an injection of antipyretic first, and then observe to see if the temperature can be lowered." After the doctor said this, he gave Lin Cheng a few more instructions.
"Why does it feel like this father doesn't know how to take care of children?" Seeing Lin Cheng going to pay the bill, the nurse next to him muttered.
"Maybe you don't usually take it with you." The doctor replied.
The looks of these two people, especially their eyebrows and eyes, seem to be carved from the same mold, and one would not think that they are not father and daughter.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get ready. Also, go get those fever-reducing patches."
…
The doctor gave Lin Momo an injection of antipyretic medicine and put a fever-reducing patch on her.
During the whole process, Lin Momo was unconscious.
However, Lin Momo's consciousness was not in a coma at this time, but entered another scene.
—This group is really boring. When will it be offline
—I won’t watch it anymore unless Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s group goes offline!
—Lin Cheng, Lin Momo, get out of here!
—Lin Cheng, Lin Momo, go to hell!
…
This is the unfinished dream that Lin Momo experienced last time.
In the dream, they became a group hated by the audience.
On the Internet, when Lin Cheng and Lin Momo are mentioned, there is only a barrage of curses.
Because Lin Momo and Lin Cheng did not appear to be close on the show and did not look like father and daughter at all, some netizens began to speculate that Lin Momo was not Lin Cheng's biological daughter, but a child that Lin Cheng found specifically to appear on the show and become popular again.
Such remarks were originally just speculations from a few netizens, but later, gradually, more and more people began to say that "Lin Momo is not Lin Cheng's child."
There were even some haters who asked the program team to replace the cast.
As the doubts intensified, the entertainment company where Lin Cheng worked suddenly threw out a paternity certificate, proving that Lin Momo was Lin Cheng's child.
This proof of paternity silenced the haters for a while.
But soon, events took a turn for the worse.
An internet user who wishes to remain anonymous posted a group of photos online of Lin Momo living in her previous residential complex, attending classes at school, and picking up waste on the roadside before she came to participate in the show.
When this set of photos came out, everyone was shocked.
Subsequently, more negative information about Lin Cheng was uncovered one after another.
