The Trending Topic Herself: The Villainess is the Superstar!-Chapter 258: Siblings in Hard Times

The purpose of coming here naturally goes without saying.

They said it was to see something new, but Maya and the others weren’t just being idle.

To avoid mistakes in picking spinach, Maya specifically sought guidance from Elaine.

Elaine put down the spinach in her hand, seeming surprised, "Are you guys going to pick spinach? You’d better not; there’s so much mud in the fields. What if your clothes get dirty?"

Laura, who was next to her, also stopped what she was doing and advised, "You can’t handle this work, just rest on the side. The sun is so harsh, and you’re choosing to come and suffer in it!"

The village head, leaning on a hoe, didn’t say anything but had a hint of evaluation in his eyes.

"It’s fine, we learn things quickly, Elaine, just feel free to teach us."

Elaine swallowed nervously and hesitated, "But if... if you get upset..."

Laura added, "I know you’re here for the novelty, but this work is all about strength. Miss, you’d better not try it."

However, Maya’s attitude didn’t change; she was as determined as ever, "We really want to experience picking spinach; we won’t cause you any trouble, nor will we get angry with you!"

Maya’s appearance is quite striking, and her sincerity wavered Elaine’s resolve.

"Well..."

She instinctively looked at Laura, who also seemed hesitant.

This time, the village head spoke up, "Let them try it then, consider it experiencing something fun and new."

The village head had a lot of authority, so Elaine didn’t say anything more.

She lowered her head, fiddled with the spinach in her hand, and started teaching them hand-in-hand.

"I’m glad you’re here; don’t blame me for not teaching you, it’s just..." she sighed, "Yesterday, those two celebrities were quite demanding; I’m just afraid you’ll get upset..."

Maya had already guessed that their current attitude was related to other guests.

"We’ll learn properly, Elaine. Besides us, have there been other guests?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Elaine paused her movement, "It’s strange, it seems like different celebrities come here every day. You’re the third group. My father is really odd, why does he invite celebrities for just a few plots of land?"

Maya exchanged a subtle glance with Miles.

Indeed, it seemed this place was arranged as a trial site by the show producers. As for the purpose or if there are other trial sites, it remains unknown for now.

Facing Maya’s gaze, the cameraman inexplicably shivered.

Everyone knows that Maya is the sharpest. She can catch any bit of information in a conversation.

If a cameraman reveals information to guests, it’s a deduction in pay.

"Don’t look at me, Miss Maya; I’m just a cameraman. I can’t say anything. If I do, I’ll lose money!"

Maya withdrew her gaze.

She was wondering how much the tour guide would be fined.

Maya and Miles both have good learning abilities, especially Maya; once something was demonstrated, she could grasp about seventy or eighty percent of it.

Elaine clicked her tongue in amazement. Of course, picking spinach isn’t that complicated, actually quite simple. She was amazed because after three or four hours, Maya and Miles didn’t seem tired at all, remaining full of energy.

Laura couldn’t help but praise, "Wow, you’ve learned really well, like natural spinach pickers!"

The village head specifically instructed Elaine to buy water.

Elaine returned with a bag of water, enthusiastically saying, "I didn’t know what you liked to drink, so I bought a bit of everything."

Maya stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead, casually grabbing a bottle of mineral water, "Thanks."

Laura came over, "Look at the sweat on your foreheads. Take a break; you only need to experience farming like this once. It’s been over three hours now."

"It’s fine, we’re not tired."

After Laura walked away, Miles quietly asked, "Senior, how long are we going to stay here?"

Maya looked over at the village head, seeing no reaction from him, she drank some water and slowly tightened the bottle cap, "Let’s wait a bit more."

Miles replied, "Alright."

His temples were slightly damp, and his fair face flushed slightly from the heat, with sweat trickling down his jawline into his clothes, looking quite hot.

His white T-shirt was stained with dirt, and his branded sports shoes looked as if they had been rolled through mud, making him look a bit disheveled.

Maya herself wasn’t much better off.

She seldom did farm work, so her movements were awkward and inevitably got dirty.

Feeling another droplet of sweat stream down, Maya irritably rubbed it away.

"It’s really hot..."

Miles paused slightly, hesitantly speaking, "Senior Maya, your face... you..."

Maya understood what he meant. She looked down and saw her hands were covered in dirt, knowing her face must be a sight.

"No worries, I’ll wash it later."

She waved her hand, calming her slightly chaotic breathing.

"Come on, let’s keep picking spinach."

The two of them resignedly continued forward, crouching down slightly to resume their picking task.

Occasionally, dirt would splatter out, but Maya had gotten lazy to care, focusing only on getting through the spinach in front of her.

[Jinjin: Haha, it’s too hard; Maya is almost like a little flower cat now.]

[Milk Tea with Cream: Although the two are rookies, you have to admit their endurance is commendable. It’s been over three hours; I feel a bit sorry watching them!]

[Jijiwaiwai: Why is the label on the mineral water unclear? Did the program team manually blur it out?]

[Gagaga: The program team says there’s a different price for that; only sponsor dads can appear unblurred before everyone!!]

[Putong: It seems Maya and Justin have left quite an impression with the village head’s family. Who knew they could do such a thing? Is this considered acting like a diva?]

[Eating Melons Makes Me Happy: It’s not uncommon to see rich siblings, but it’s rare to see them ’fallen into hard times,’ haha!]

...

After what seemed like ages, when Maya felt her arms were starting to go numb, she finally heard the village head’s shout:

"It’s getting dark, let’s pack up the farming tools and go home!"

Laura responded, and along with Elaine, swiftly began packing up.

Maya moved the spinach onto the electric tricycle a couple of times, then helped load the farming tools.

The moment her hands were free, Maya couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

As the sun set, the evening glow painted half the sky. Maya felt a sense of bewilderment in her heart.

A sweet scent wafted through the air, probably from locust flowers.

The village head once again invited Maya and Miles to get on the vehicle, "You two worked really hard today, come have dinner at our place."

Maya almost agreed without hesitation.
