From collapsing rooftop to poverty alleviation village chief

As soon as Lin Ye finished speaking, the number one link in the live stream lit up, and countless people clicked on it immediately. There were two options to choose from.

"One bag costs 180 yuan and weighs half a jin (250 grams)."

"Two bags for 350 yuan, weight: one jin (500g)"

Many of Lin Ye's haters immediately started shouting.

"350 yuan per jin? Are you out of your mind?"

"The chicken drumstick mushrooms I bought at the market only cost a little over ten yuan per pound!"

"I really want to help the villagers of Qiongyu Village, but Lin Ye is too heartless!"

"At such a high price, how many people will actually place an order?"

Why is the link black?

"Haha, the link's gone, and they're still trying to sell products via livestream?"

Within two minutes, the first link became inaccessible, and the haters burst into laughter. Lin Ye was still the same unreliable Lin Ye!

Their joy lasted only a few seconds before they saw Lin Ye say to the camera:

"200 jin (100 catties) of dried wild mushrooms have sold out. Thank you for your support!"

The haters were completely baffled.

What is that?

Sold out in just two minutes?

Countless comments scrolled by:

"Haha, I bought five jin!"

"Wild pine mushrooms and green-headed mushrooms mostly grow deep in the mountains and are very difficult to pick. 350 yuan per kilogram is a really good price!"

"I bought ten pounds!"

"Holy crap! How are you guys so fast? I missed out!"

"Is there more? Lin Ye, hurry up and upload the link again!"

Many people are discerning and know the value of wild pine sclerotium sclerotium, placing orders the moment the link opened.

These wild mushrooms, picked from deep in the mountains, would sell for at least 400 yuan dried elsewhere, but Lin Ye is only selling them for 350 yuan. Buying them is a steal!

The haters then realized, "Holy crap, we haven't bought it yet! We're losing out big time!"

Lin Ye apologized, "I'm sorry, everyone, wild mushrooms are indeed very difficult to pick. This is all we have this time. But don't be disappointed. Qiongyu Village not only has beautiful scenery, but also many treasures hidden in the mountains. Once I've explored them all, I'll invite you all to come and visit!"

Netizens were amused when they heard this.

"Would you like to invite everyone to come and play?"

"Haha, the scenery is so beautiful, I'm actually tempted to go and have some fun!"

"Lin Ye, why don't you introduce him to everyone more!"

"The live stream only lasted two minutes, it was boring. Lin Ye, why don't you sing a song?"

"Sing two songs, and I'll buy anything Qiongyu Village sells from now on!"

Lin Ye laughed heartily, "No problem, I'll sing two songs for everyone right away!"

This body, after all, had been an idol; singing and dancing were naturally second nature to Lin Ye. He wasn't intimidated at all and said to Zhang Xiaoshan:

"Xiaoshan, could you please hold this for me? The camera is pointed at me."

"Okay!"

Zhang Xiaoshan ran over and took the live streaming stick and phone.

The camera lingered on her face for two seconds before turning to Lin Ye.

The live chat exploded with comments again.

Wow! What an innocent-looking girl!

"She has to be a village girl, so fresh and lovely!"

"I'll book tickets to Qiongyu Village right now!"

"I want to see that girl again!"

Lin Ye saw the comments in the live stream and whispered in Zhang Xiaoshan's ear:

"These netizens want to see you again, would you like to appear on camera?"

Zhang Xiaoshan was taken aback, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she whispered, "Village Chief Lin, will my not leaving the border affect the village?"

Lin Ye laughed and said, "The village escapes poverty through hard work and wisdom, not by selling your looks. If you're not willing, no one can force you."

Zhang Xiaoshan bit her lip, but finally shook her head. "Village Chief Lin... I'm scared."

Lin Ye smiled gently at her, then returned to the camera. "Family, am I not handsome enough? Don't you want to see me?"

"Who wants to see you? I want to see girls!"

"We want to see some girls!"

"I want to see Brother Lin Ye!"

"If you don't let the girls out, Lin Ye, you'll have to sing three songs!"

Lin Ye laughed heartily and said, "No problem, I'll make sure my family has a blast tonight!"

Then, to the villagers' astonishment, Village Chief Lin transformed into an idol, enthusiastically singing and dancing.

Lin Ye's singing skills are just average, and these songs aren't particularly good. The only thing worth looking at is his face and physique; his swaying movements are quite pleasing to the eye.

Lin Ye's fans went crazy.

"Ahhh! My brother is so handsome!"

"I never thought I'd live to see Brother Lin Ye on stage!"

"Brother Lin Ye, I love you!"

Haters are just as crazy.

"Lin Ye, stop singing! You've made my neighbor, Old Wang, lose his erection!"

"I'm going to throw up!"

"I'm going into labor!"

"My wife was terrified by Lin Ye!"

"My husband said he wants to sleep with Lin Ye!"

Ignoring these comments, Lin Ye energetically sang and danced five songs, and between each song he introduced the three mountains of Qiongyu Village, warmly inviting everyone to come and visit.

A live-streaming sales event gradually turned into a "Qiong Yucun Concert".

The villagers, initially astonished, were gradually captivated by Lin Ye's "graceful" singing and dancing. Several children jumped and bounced around Lin Ye, which inspired others. Soon, the villagers watching were clapping along to the rhythm, creating a lively atmosphere.

Su Yun stood in the crowd, her almond-shaped eyes fixed on Lin Ye, the scene from back then flashing through her mind.

That year, she took her children to Yuncheng, the closest city to Zhanghua County. While eating in the mall, she saw a rural variety show featuring Lin Ye playing on a big screen.

The guests were catching fish, and Lin Ye clumsily held the fishing net, but after fishing for a long time, he caught nothing. The other guests were secretly laughing at him.

Lin Ye gave up, plopped down on the edge of the field, and then suddenly jumped up and sang a popular song at the time.

They sang and danced, making the children watching TV laugh out loud.

Xiaoyu sat quietly in her chair, tilting her head back to watch Lin Ye singing and dancing on TV, her clear eyes shining.

"Teacher Su, this older brother is so brave!"

Su Yun understood what she meant. Xiao Yu had been in poor health since childhood and couldn't run around in the mountains like other children, which often made her the subject of ridicule.

At that time, Lin Ye was just like Xiao Yu.

He was an outcast who was ridiculed by others.

But Lin Ye can ignore other people's opinions and dance or sing whenever he wants.

Being yourself is so good, so hard.

Coincidentally, as I was leaving the mall, I ran into Lin Ye, who was there to promote the brand he endorses.

Fans rushed forward frantically, and Xiaoyu was knocked down by the crowd. Lin Ye had his bodyguard pick Xiaoyu up until Su Yun came and took the child away.

From then on, Xiaoyu became a loyal fan of Lin Ye, until...

The scene she had seen on the TV in the mall overlapped with this moment, and Su Yun was momentarily dazed. She lowered her head so that no one could see her already reddened eyes.

After Lin Ye finished singing, he checked the time and saw that it was almost time before waving to the camera.

"Family members, I'm ending my broadcast now. Qiongyucun will continue to bring you surprises, so please follow Qiongyucun. We'll see you again soon!"

Lin Ye ended the live stream, but more than ten million netizens in the live stream room were still not satisfied.

"No, it's already logging off?"

"I want to see Qiongyucun and the girl again!"

"Honestly, the scenery in Qiongyu Village is truly beautiful. If there were any other fun things to do, I would definitely go to Qiongyu Village for a trip!"

"Haven't you noticed? Besides selling mushrooms, Lin Ye has been promoting Qiongyu Village the whole time!"

"Hey, it seems Lin Ye really is going there to help alleviate poverty?"
