Overbearing Immortal Doctor
Chapter 18 - 18 Revised 18 Return Home with Ease

The Bald Factory Director saw that she was determined to help the kid, so he said to the mayor, “Mayor Ma, does your brother-in-law know about this?”

This was a blatant threat, bringing up his own backer.

Anyone with a bit of savvy would know what to do.

But would a mayor in his fifties be a slick person?

If he were good at flattery, he wouldn’t have reached this age and still be just a town mayor.

Mayor Ma just smiled and said, “For such a small matter, why bother troubling your brother-in-law?”

The Bald Factory Director, hearing this, thought the mayor was going to stand by idly, so he turned to Director Liu and said, “Director Liu, how should we handle the illegal possession of controlled knives?”

Director Liu was just about to speak when the mayor interrupted him, saying, “What illegal possession of controlled knives?

Didn’t my wife already say that she saw with her own eyes this young man take the knife from the chopping board?”

The Bald Factory Director, seeing the mayor playing dumb, became even more furious and said angrily, “Mayor Ma, you’re so busy with official duties, why bother with such small matters?

Just leave it to Director Liu!”

Wu Xiaoyu felt confused as the debate continued among these people.

Isn’t the mayor the highest authority in the town?

Why doesn’t the Bald Factory Director seem afraid of him at all?

Confusion aside, Wu Xiaoyu felt more anger and helplessness.

Is it true that those without power and influence can only be fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered by others?

Mayor Ma said calmly, “I have been working in this town for more than thirty years and don’t plan to move, so I have plenty of time to take care of these small matters!”

Ma Fangqi had been working in the town for over thirty years and was only promoted to mayor at the beginning of this year.

Logically, he should be seeking stability and unity right now, but he was willing to offend someone with such a deep background just to handle this minor issue.

Moreover, he clearly stated that he didn’t want further promotions.

This made the Bald Factory Director wonder if there was some private relationship between them.

Could it be his illegitimate son?

But if that were the case, why would the Mayor’s Wife stand up for him?

While the Bald Factory Director pondered, the mayor walked over, patted Wu Xiaoyu on the shoulder, and said, “Young man, you have done a great deed today!

Go home quickly!”

Seeing the mayor like this, Wu Xiaoyu thanked him and walked out of the crowd, heading back home.

As for what would happen between the mayor and the bald man, it was no longer his concern.

He didn’t believe the mayor acted purely for justice.

On the way, Wu Xiaoyu felt a mixture of joy and anger.

The joy was naturally from the money he had, and the anger came from encountering the Bald Factory Director Wang Baishan in the town.

His father was fired and injured because of him, and he himself almost got hurt.

Such hatred must be avenged.

To seek revenge, one needs power and money.

Although he currently had neither, with the manual left by Emperor Xuan Yuan and the Immortal Realm Farm, it was only a matter of time.

Thinking of these things, his mood lightened considerably, and he quickened his pace to get home and share the good news with his parents.

He also needed to fetch the spring water from the Immortal Realm Farm and test it out.

The most important thing was to practice the Yin Yang Longevity Technique diligently.

Only by mastering it as soon as possible could he heal his father’s illness and disregard small fry like the bald man.

Before long, he returned to Daxin Village.

As soon as he entered the village, he encountered several women who were watering the fields.

Seeing Wu Xiaoyu’s stylish city attire and the four or five bags with foreign words on them, they gathered around and laughed.

“Xiaoyu, were you out on a matchmaking date?”

“Which girl’s family did you meet?

You didn’t even tell us sisters so we could give you some advice!”

“Advice from you?

More like advising him onto the bed…”

Faced with the teasing of these women, Wu Xiaoyu could only smile and hurry away with his head down.

Though he considered himself a cheerful person, he couldn’t handle the teasing of these women.

When Wu Xiaoyu reached home, he had just pushed the door open when his mother came rushing over, berating him, “Where have you been messing around?

Do you even remember to come home?

Do you even remember I’m your mother?”

“Didn’t I send a text to dad, saying I went to the city to sell ginseng?

Didn’t dad tell you?” Wu Xiaoyu felt puzzled; he clearly sent a text to his father.

At this moment, Wu Youliang came out of the inner room, embarrassed, and said, “Well, Xiaoyu, my phone service got cut off, so I didn’t receive it!”

Damn, such a coincidence?

Wu Xiaoyu put down the medicinal basket and bags, then seated his mother in a chair and closed the door, saying, “Yesterday, I dug up a ginseng on the mountain and took it to the city to sell.

Guess how much I sold it for?”

His mother, Wang Aifeng, seeing him so serious, guessed a high price through gritted teeth, “Did you sell it for ten thousand?”

“Nope!”

His father guessed, “Five thousand?”

Wu Xiaoyu touched his nose, took out six stacks of brand-new red banknotes from his pocket, and said, “I sold it for a hundred and twenty thousand!”

His mother, hearing the price and seeing the money, instantly jumped out of the chair, “How much?

A hundred and twenty thousand?”

Before Wu Xiaoyu could reply, Wang Aifeng snatched the money from his hands and began counting it, smiling as she did so.

Father, however, disdainfully scolded, “Such behavior!

Happier to see money than your own father.”

Although his father only worked as a butcher in the slaughterhouse, he had handled large amounts of money in the past, personally escorting loads of cash worth millions.

Such an amount didn’t surprise him.

But for a poor family with bare walls, suddenly having over a hundred thousand was a big deal.

His father smiled and said to his mother, “Make something nice later, kill a fat chicken, and buy a good bottle of wine!”

His mother was too busy enjoying the money to respond to him.

After a while, she collected herself and said, “Xiaoyu, why is there only sixty thousand here!”

Wu Xiaoyu replied, “The remaining amount is in the bank card.

I didn’t withdraw it all at once!

The money is intended to pay off Wang Erma’s debt!”

Upon hearing that it was for paying off debt, his mother’s face turned black instantly.

But remembering that there would still be a significant amount left after settling the debt, she relaxed.

Instead, she asked, “Xiaoyu, where did you sleep last night?”

Wu Xiaoyu, not understanding the implication, replied honestly, “At the hotel!”

Hearing this, his mother gave him a knowing look and dragged his father into the inner room, whispering, “Youliang, do you think he…

last night…”

Father Wu Youliang quickly interrupted her, scolding, “What are you talking about?

Is this something you should be meddling in?”

His mother, slightly aggrieved, replied, “I’m worried about them catching diseases, in case he’s careless.

Ask him later, will you?”
