Chapter 286 Marrying Her Means Death for the Whole Family
"Gregory, I'm scared."
"Hahahahaha, he probably still remembers when Thalia caught that snake!"
"The countryside variety show turned into a dating show."
Hearing Gregory's words, Thalia's mouth twitched. "No way, don't think of me like that. I'm not that kind of person."
"Really?" Gregory clearly didn't believe her. How could Thalia not be that kind of person!
A rich family heiress who could catch snakes herself—what else was there for him to believe?
"Let's check the kitchen first," Gregory said.
"Sure," she couldn't cook and wasn't good at housework either, so she definitely needed to be well-behaved and obediently follow Gregory's orders, trying hard not to get scolded or attacked by Gregory's fans.
"What do we have?" Gregory asked.
"Only oatmeal." Thalia thought for a moment and said, "If there's nothing else, we can just cook some oatmeal porridge tonight to get by, and figure something out tomorrow?"
"That's all we can do. Move over, let me handle it?" Gregory wanted to work, seeing Thalia standing aside like a quail—not much help, but in the way.
Thalia asked, "Should I help you?"
"No need, it's simple. I can do it myself," Gregory replied.
Thalia added, "You believe me or not—if I let you do this alone today, tomorrow netizens will roast me all over social media?"
Gregory was speechless, but thinking about it, she was right. It was a live show, and fans from both sides were probably watching. Any misstep and they'd both be done for.
"Fine! You prepare the cooking, I'll start the fire. Can you do that?" Gregory said.
"Yes."
At least she'd played a good wife and mother role before, and even took classes to learn how to do it properly. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't know how to do anything now.
Thalia obediently got the oatmeal out. To make it realistic and closer to rural life and nature, the production team arranged for them to do campfire cooking.
Cooking suddenly became a high-skill activity.
Most people couldn't even start a fire. When Thalia came in, she saw Gregory had already lit the fire and was surprised.
"You can do this too? You're amazing!"
"Gregory, whoever marries you would be so lucky. You're handsome, talented at acting, have a great body, rich, and can cook. All the best qualities of men in the world are in you. You're truly one of a kind."
"Thalia, if you've run out of compliments, you don't have to force it."
The livestream comments instantly filled with "hahahaha."
Good thing Thalia couldn't see them, or she'd probably want to twist Gregory's head off.
Gregory continued with the fire, glancing at Thalia sitting by the door. "That concerned about your image?"
"Of course, I don't want people saying I'm bullying you."
"Anyone home!"
Just as they were chatting and a peaceful scene was about to unfold, a villager interrupted them.
"Yes, what's up?"
"I live next door. Saw this place was empty for so long, and now someone's finally moved in, so I came to bring you some vegetables."
"Ma'am, please come in! Thank you so much, we were just worried about having no food!"
The woman entered the kitchen, saw Gregory cooking over the fire, and looked at Thalia. "You can't cook? How can you let a man do this?"
"I'm learning."
"How can you let a man cook? Men are supposed to make money outside, how can they be stuck at the stove? Look at you, you're definitely not married yet, you don't even understand this basic thing."
"Yes, you are right," Thalia nodded.
'Give me the vegetables, I can put up with anything you say,' she thought.
The production team was shocked.
They didn't believe Thalia could hold back from cursing. They already knew that Thalia was really good at telling people off, but today she was being so agreeable?
"Miss, will you get married in the future?" the woman asked.
"Me?" Thalia was startled.
"Yes, you!" She even pulled up a stool and sat next to Thalia, looking ready for a good chat.
"A fortune teller said whoever I marry, their whole family dies. Ma'am, do you have a son? A grandson works too. I think we get along pretty well, so if I ever want to get married, I'll come find you for help, so I won't end up unable to marry."
The woman's smile started to fade. "Miss, you're joking with me, right?"
"How could I be joking with you! Tell you what, if you think I'm joking, call your son over, and tomorrow I'll go marry him, and we'll see if what I said is true or not."
Gregory was speechless.
The production team reminded her, "Don't fall for her tricks, keep the conversation going."
The woman had taken money from the production team, so she had to do the job well. She looked at Thalia earnestly. "Stop fooling me. I know you young girls in the entertainment industry don't like getting married, don't want to get married, but have you thought about what you'll do when you're old?"
Thalia clapped her hands. "That's easy! When I'm old, I'll just die." The woman really couldn't continue the conversation and got up to leave.
"Hey, don't go! We're not done talking yet!" Thalia called out.
Gregory couldn't help but laugh. Thalia picked up a chili pepper from the basket and threw it at him. "Don't laugh."
"How about I do it instead? How can I let a man like you cook!" Thalia said sarcastically.
Only then did Gregory hold back his laughter. "Sorry, have you considered becoming a comedian? I think you'd be perfect for it."
"Director, cut that part out."
"Post it online, buy trending spots," the production team was just waiting for Thalia to curse people out.

"Mr. Brown, this is Mrs. Brown's show schedule. Please take a look," Finn handed the document to William.
He took it and scanned the next day's schedule. "Picking mushrooms? All night long?"
