Chapter 328: Chapter 295: Yearning to Return to Qingshan

"Move aside! Move aside! The boss is here!"

Just when the cashier girl looked utterly at a loss, the supermarket owner came over to help her out.

"Boss, I can’t make change for this."

High denomination bills are rarely used for transactions, unless it’s for luxury items, like real estate.

More often, they’re collected as a form of financial investment.

They’re considered the equivalent of gold on Blue Star.

It’s completely absurd and unreasonable to use a gold brick to buy meat at a supermarket.

The owner, though surprised by the large sum in Jiang Xiao’s hands, quickly moved his gaze from it and enthusiastically greeted Jiang Xiao.

"Hahaha, this customer, you don’t have any change? My little shop really can’t break such a large bill."

"Uh..."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao could only start digging in his pockets to see if he had smaller notes.

Onlookers: ....

One bill, two bills, stepfather, biological father, grandfather, great ancestors...

How deep were his pockets?!

"Alright, alright! Brother, no need to show off anymore. I get it, I get it!"

The supermarket owner, rubbing his hands together, had eyes green with envy.

He realized that this guy really didn’t have any change!

The smallest denomination he had was two thousand, which is equivalent to two hundred thousand in purchasing power!

It wasn’t that he couldn’t break the bill, but there’s no way the cashier had so much cash on hand, and he’d have to go home to get it...

That would be too much of a hassle.

"Haha, brother is generous! Haha, okay, today’s bill... it’s on me, let’s call it making a new friend!"

Otherwise, how could someone like him be a boss?

This kind of resolute decision-making is something most ordinary people can’t make.

Thousands in revenue written off just like that.

But this was the best solution, getting money was not feasible, and it was more preposterous to ask the customer to put everything back and not make the sale.

Better to just write it off, not only to show his generosity but also to make the acquaintance of a super-rich person.

"Eh? You’re actually pretty nice!"

Jiang Xiao, pleased, started to sweep all the candy displayed near the cashier into his shopping cart.

Among them were many Okamoto 0.01 condoms, which made Fei Yu blush.

"Spirit, let’s go. The generous owner is waiving our bill today, let’s go back and grab some more!"

Owner: "?"

So, I’m treating you like a friend, but you’re not even seeing me as a person!

Fortunately, Fei Yu, who had come to her senses, was more rational, pointing out that her bicycle wouldn’t hold any more stuff.

Jiang Xiao, who wasn’t choosy, asked the owner if he could arrange for a van or a delivery truck to deliver the goods.

Seeing Jiang Xiao’s true colors, the owner definitely wasn’t going to be that sucker and waved his hands, saying he had no vehicle.

"Ah, since the owner isn’t willing to help, then that’s all for today. Thank you for coming, we’ll visit again next time."

Owner: I’m just @#￥%*&!

What do you mean I’m not willing to help?

The old saying ’gratitude for rising rice turns to enmity over fighting rice’ was perfectly exemplified by Jiang Xiao at this moment.

Also, shouldn’t it be you thanking me? And why does that comment even come from the customer!

Contented!

Jiang Xiao, satisfied, didn’t ask for plastic bags, but had the cashier girl fetch a burlap sack from storage, stuffing it full to the brim with two huge sacks of stuff!

But doing so meant Jiang Xiao couldn’t ride on his bike anymore.

Luckily, Fei Yu didn’t advance on her own, but secured the bags to her bicycle and pushed it alongside Jiang Xiao.

Even now, she found it hard to believe that her bargain son was actually a rich bro.

Wow, that’s a lot of money!

Rich, handsome, and such a good fighter...

The only flaw is he’s a bit mentally challenged, no, not that, rather sometimes he’s very shrewd; it’s just some minor mental imperfections, that’s all.

Fei Yu had reason to believe that Jiang Xiao already knew of the butcher Niu Tu wanting him dead and that her being a step-mom was inextricably linked.

Yet he chose to ignore it, perhaps he was well aware but did not confront it.

Could it be...

Fei Yu thought of what Jiang Xiao often said, could it be that he truly lost his mother at a young age?

With that thought, Fei Yu decided, no more targeting Jiang Xiao.

Hmm, it’s definitely not because he’s no match, purely because she now wanted to be a good person.

"Jiang Xiao, what kind of hotpot base do you want for dinner?"

Walking ahead and sweeping through the cauliflower with a little stick, Jiang Xiao stopped and then turned to say,

"Let’s go for a yin yang pot, I like spicy, but I’ve seen on TV moms tend to prefer light flavors."

Fei Yu: He really gets me, I’m crying.

"Jiang Xiao, can you tell me about your... I mean, I’m just your step-mom, where is your biological mother now?"

Jiang Xiao turned back and continued his massacre of the cauliflower, nonchalantly saying,

"I don’t know, I’ve been growing up in the psychiatric hospital ever since I can remember. All I had was the director and the uncles and aunties there. They said I was abandoned at their hospital’s doorstep, I don’t know who discarded me."

Fei Yu: ...

You don’t know who abandoned you?

Are you kidding yourself?

I’m truly despicable!

I was actually planning to kill this orphan who grew up without parents?

Growing up in a psychiatric hospital, no wonder his current behaviors suddenly seemed justified.

Such a pity...

But Jiang Xiao’s tone was still relaxed, not betraying any sign of resentment or blame.

"But that’s okay, the people there taught me a lot, they are my family. Oh, and now I can almost leave the garrison compound. I’ll bring Bai Yi and the others back to Qingshan soon."

Emm...

Fei Yu felt the mood change again.

What could people from a psychiatric hospital teach you?

Too afraid to consider, the thought itself frightens me.

"Let’s hurry up, it looks gloomy, probably going to rain soon."

"Okay, step-mom."

...

As for the director of the outside world’s Qingshan, his face was filled with relief.

"Good, good, I thought this kid had forgotten about us."

Doctor Su and Nurse Bai were covering their mouths, giggling softly.

Ever since Jiang Xiao left, the old director’s "energy levels" plummeted.

After all, days without someone to "match wits" with were unbearably boring for him.

"Right, that woman is coming back too. After living like a wild woman for so long, I don’t know if she’s overcome the psychological trauma that Jiang Xiao left her with. You... prepare a clean room for her, ah no, make it two, those two little rascals are coming too."

Jiang Xiao hadn’t even returned yet, and the news had seemingly made the old director twenty years younger as he immediately began making arrangements.

As for Jiang Xiao’s room...

There was no need to tidy it, since the director made it his own room after Jiang Xiao left...

"Hey, director, about those two rascal kids..."

Su Ming was a little worried; those two, although not as much trouble as Jiang Xiao, were starting to show their abstract tendencies.

If they came to Qingshan and the uncles and aunties there "educated" them a bit further, they might just surpass their mentor...
