292: Big bandits, small bandits too
Xiao Xuan, wiping away tears, rattled off everything he had done to Jiang Xiaoshi:
"I falsely accused Jiang Xiaoshi of stealing, deliberately poured dirt into his food, and even incited classmates to ostracize him."
"Jiang Xiaoshi was afraid of breaking rules and being expelled from Yucai Academy, so no matter how I bullied him, he never dared to resist."
Kong Sumei wanted to cover Xiao Xuan's still chattering mouth, but she was in too much pain from the beating to lift her hand, so she could only snap:
"Shut up!"
"Wuwuwu, I'm just telling the truth, Mom, why are you being so fierce to me?"
Kong Sumei: "..."
So stupid!
She should have given birth to a piece of char siu!
Cheng Pingwei called in the soldiers outside: "Expel Kong Sumei's family from the Base; they are not allowed to take any supplies."
The person had confessed to their crimes, so there was no need to question witnesses.
Hearing Cheng Pingwei's punishment, Kong Sumei panicked.
Outside the Base, there was a shortage of food and water, and it was easy to be treated as emergency rations by others.
The Base Leader also forbade them from taking any supplies; what was the difference between that and going to their deaths?
Before Kong Sumei could beg for mercy, she was dragged out by the soldiers.
It was too late for regrets.
If she hadn't instigated Xiao Xuan to bully Jiang Xiaoshi, how could she have been expelled from the Base?
It was already good that Jiang Fei hadn't killed her.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoshi spoke up to Cheng Pingwei:
"Uncle Base Leader, I was harmed at Yucai Academy; isn't there any compensation?"
Cheng Pingwei became interested: "What do you want?"
Jiang Xiaoshi: "Ten million grams of gold, for Big Sister!"
Jiang Fei was very pleased.
She hadn't doted on this child for nothing!
Cheng Pingwei, on the other hand, looked helpless.
The big one is a bandit, and the small one is also a bandit.
But it was indeed Yucai Academy's negligence in management that almost led to Jiang Xiaoshi's death in the cold storage room.
"Ten million grams of gold is impossible; at most, we can give you one million grams."
"You're cutting too much off," Jiang Fei pretended to be dissatisfied and seized the opportunity to make a request:
"How about this, besides the gold, we also want some glass bottles, glass jars, and containers that can hold powder."
Recently, a lot of multi-grain flour had been sold, and with the large batch she had stockpiled, the Supermarket warehouse was running out of containers.
Upon hearing that they were useless containers, Cheng Pingwei readily agreed.
"I'll send someone to deliver them to you tonight."
Having received the desired compensation, Jiang Fei left contentedly with Su Liuyuan and the others.
As soon as they exited the Central Building, Mu Qingzhou caught up with them.
"Uncle Jiang, Xiao Shi really has a talent for medicine. I hope you won't stop him from attending Yucai Academy because of this incident."
Jiang Zhengkang: "One thing is one thing; Xiao Shi will still go to study."
Xiao Shi was learning life-saving knowledge, and he wouldn't hinder him.
Mu Qingzhou felt relieved: "The afternoon class is about to start; I need to go back to Yucai Academy, so I'll take Xiao Shi with me."
Jiang Fei: "We'll take him."
"Lest someone think Xiao Shi has no one at home and bullies him again."
"Okay." Mu Qingzhou tactfully left first, not looking at Jiang Fei again.
Since there was no possibility between him and Miss Jiang, there should not be too much contact.
Being annoying would not be good.
Unaware that Mu Qingzhou had confessed to Jiang Fei yesterday, Jiang Zhengkang and the others drove to Yucai Academy.
Everyone went upstairs together and escorted Jiang Xiaoshi to the classroom door.
At this time, the students who had finished lunch in the cafeteria had all returned.
They were about the same age as Jiang Xiaoshi and looked at Jiang Fei and the others with curiosity.
Su Liuyuan leaned down and stroked Jiang Xiaoshi's head, deliberately raising his voice: "Study hard here from now on. Xiao Xuan's family has all been expelled from the Base, so he won't come to bully you anymore."
"If anyone targets you, come back and tell your Big Sister, Big Brother, Dad, and Auntie."
"Our family has many people, so we won't suffer in a fight."
"I remember, handsome Big Brother!" Jiang Xiaoshi answered loudly, his back straight.
This was the confidence his family gave him.
After Jiang Fei and the others left, Jiang Xiaoshi returned to his seat.
His classmates immediately gathered around.
"Xiao Shi, your Big Brother is so handsome, even better looking than the celebrities I used to see on TV."
"Your Big Sister is so beautiful. Is she single? My uncle is twenty-four this year and doesn't have a girlfriend; I can introduce them."
"I want a beautiful aunt."
The originally proud Jiang Xiaoshi's face instantly darkened: "You wish!"
"No one is worthy of my Big Sister!"
Jiang Xiaoshi suddenly remembered Lu Yu.
Big Brother Lu was quite suitable for Big Sister.

Evening.
When Jiang Fei returned to Villa No. 11 from Ping An Small Mall, she saw two large trucks parked outside the door.
Mo Yanan was standing next to one of the trucks.
Discovering Jiang Fei's return, he explained:
"Sister Jiang Fei, these two trucks contain the gold and containers sent by Cheng Pingwei's people."
"The other party had to leave early, so I drove them over for you."
As he spoke, Mo Yanan used a key to open the rear compartment of the truck.
Jiang Fei went over to collect the items.
System: [Ding — Detected gold: 1,000,000 grams]
She used her mind to check the containers received in the Supermarket warehouse.
Glass jars, glass bottles, plastic jars, plastic bottles, 1000 of each type, all with a capacity of 500g.
Enough for her to use for a long time!
Closing the truck compartment door, Mo Yanan used the walkie-talkie to contact the bodyguards to drive the trucks away and return them to Cheng Pingwei.
Jiang Fei went to Villa No. 9.
She told Su Liuyuan that she wouldn't be helping at the Small Mall recently, then returned home, hugged Big Huang, and entered the Supermarket.
Letting Big Huang play on his own, Jiang Fei went to get feed for the poultry and livestock.
Afterward, she checked the mother goat's body.
Her belly was already noticeably bulging, and she would give birth in about another month.
After filling the troughs for the poultry and livestock with fountain water, Jiang Fei went to collect eggs from the chicken coop.
The third hen had laid a total of 18 eggs, only one of which was a fertilized egg.
Sending the regular eggs to the Supermarket warehouse, Jiang Fei took the fertilized egg to the greenhouse.
The fertilized eggs sent last time had already successfully hatched, and the chicks were chirping happily.
Bringing out the puffed millet she had stockpiled before, Jiang Fei fed the chicks.
She then went to the Supermarket warehouse to select some wild vegetables that could be propagated by cuttings and rhizomes and planted them in the planting garden.
When she was tired, she and Big Huang would go into the tent they had set up earlier to sleep.
When she woke up, she would go to the Supermarket for ready-made food.
After half a month of hard work, the orchard, planting garden, wheat field, and rice paddies were all planted with new crops.
A large batch of medicinal herbs in the medicinal garden had been re-propagated by rhizomes.
The chicks were transferred to the chicken coop to be raised.
This time, Jiang Fei didn't name them.
The number of chickens was a bit too many now, and they looked very similar, so she really couldn't tell them apart.
Taking advantage of her free time, Jiang Fei also ground thousands of portions of multi-grain flour and stored them in the warehouse, making it convenient for her to restock the Small Mall later.
Occasionally, she would exit the Supermarket to check the weather outside.
The temperature was still fluctuating between hot and cold, but the Base had ample medicine, which had no impact on the residents.
The polar day had been going on for almost a month, and so far, there had been no casualties.
Logically, this was a good thing, but Jiang Fei felt that the heavens were brewing something big.
This was because past natural disasters were always accompanied by several other calamities.
The polar day in her previous life was even more so.
The resulting food crisis, colds and fevers, UV side effects, and other disasters had claimed countless human lives.
In this life, the various Bases had prepared in advance, so there shouldn't be any major problems... Suddenly, the static on the walkie-talkie interrupted Jiang Fei's thoughts.
It was Ling Zhaorui.
"Sister Jiang, we're all at Villa No. 8. Liu Yuan and Chu Xia have something to tell you. Do you have time to come over now?"
"Uncle Jiang and Aunt Cao have also made dinner."
At this moment, a shout came from the other end of the walkie-talkie —
"Don't come over!"
Jiang Fei couldn't make out whose voice it was, only that it was noisy over there.
What were they doing at home?
