Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales

Chapter 380: Chapter 380: Not a Good Foster Mother 21

After Li Xiaopang was transferred to another class, he was watched more strictly by the teachers and couldn’t bully the girls as easily as before.

When Xiao Bao came back, he was so happy that he chattered away, ”Li Xiaopang went to Class Three, and the teacher there made him sit in the front row, so he can no longer pull the girls’ braids. Jiaojiao sat in Li Xiaopang’s seat, and now I’m desk mates with Jiaojiao. She even secretly gave me a lollipop during break.”

Xiao Bao glanced at the jar of White Rabbit candies on the store shelf, ”Mom, can I bring three candies to school tomorrow? I want to give one to Jiaojiao as a return gift, one for Xiao Min, and keep one for myself.”

Yuan Chun wanted to laugh, ”Son, you’re a man, you can’t be stingy with your return gifts.”

”Lollipops are six cents each, and milk candies are five cents for two. Son, you’re a man, you shouldn’t take advantage of girls. Your return gifts have to be more than theirs. Take a few more candies to school, give each classmate three, and bring a few haw flakes, give them two each.”

Xiao Bao counted on his fingers for a long time, feeling that he was losing out. He frowned and said, ”Mom, I’ll just bring eight candies, and keep the haw flakes to sell them.”

Yuan Chun was nearly dying from laughing at her stingy son.

With this attitude, how will he get a girlfriend in the future?

That night, Yuan Chun was half-asleep when 007 woke her up, ”Host, someone has climbed into the backyard.”

Yuan Chun suddenly woke up.

She extended her spiritual power and scanned the backyard. Indeed, a man was stealthily approaching the back door, holding a thin wire in his hand.

”Hehe, you refuse to take the path to heaven, but insist on breaking into hell.”

Yuan Chun’s face was sinister as she sent a mental suggestion over. The man suddenly turned around, flipped over the backyard wall, and walked away.

He walked for quite a distance, reaching a spot under a streetlight, where he suddenly slammed his head hard into a roadside utility pole.

There was a loud bang, and the man’s head was bleeding.

Coincidentally, there was a police station nearby. Two young officers were on duty, and upon hearing the noise, they poked their heads out and saw a man lying by the utility pole.

...

The next afternoon, a group of women gathered at the grocery store entrance, gossiping.

”Have you heard? It’s said that Eldest Li from the Li family, who caused trouble in our alley a few days ago, got possessed. He went to the police station and hit a utility pole in the middle of the night, making a big hole in his head. They say the blood soaked his clothes, and you could wring out a bowl of it. If those two young policemen hadn’t acted quickly and rushed him to the hospital overnight, he might have died on the street.”

”Old Lady Li cried terribly all the way to the hospital. Everyone thought her eldest son was dead, but Eldest Li was lucky enough to be saved by the doctors, though he hasn’t woken up yet.”

”People are guessing if it’s karma for all the bad things Eldest Li has done. You tell me, who in their right mind would go and bang their head on a pole in the middle of the night? It must be that he’s done too many bad things and got haunted by a vengeful ghost.”

”It’s retribution. The Li family has bullied many people, relying on Old Li’s brother, who’s an official.”

”A few days ago, a woman bought two pounds of meat from Eldest Li’s stall, but when she weighed it at a friend’s place, it was three ounces short. She went back to Eldest Li, who didn’t admit it and accused her of cutting off a piece to frame him, demanding one hundred yuan for damage to his reputation. Pooh, what reputation does Eldest Li have? It’s not like this is the first time he’s short-weighted the meat. Anyway, I never buy meat from his stall.”
