CHAPTER 857: CHAPTER 833: ENTER THE PASSWORD

Hao Zhigang didn’t argue.

He truly had no money and indeed couldn’t afford it.

Even though he was filled with rage, he simply lacked the capability to fight back.

A poor man’s ambition is short, a thin horse grows long hair.

He just deserved to be laughed at by others.

Zhang the Fatty laughed smugly, "Oh dear, Hao Zhigang, you’re really no man, even a tiny shop assistant can shit on your neck. Why are you still living and wasting food? If I were you, I would’ve bought a piece of tofu to crash into and die.

To save the Hao family from embarrassment."

Hao Zhigang’s eyes turned red, wishing he could bite this dead fatty to death.

"Fatty bro, when possible let people off, why go to the extreme?"

Zhang the Fatty smiled with malice, stepping in front of Jiang Xiaoxiao.

"Sister, you look good, what’s the future with this pauper Hao Zhigang? Follow your brother instead, and I guarantee you’ll live in luxury."

This was deliberate, just to embarrass Hao Zhigang.

"Are you sure he can’t afford it? What if he can?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao raised her chin. Hao Zhigang being bullied to this degree, and this dead fatty was indeed the one from that day. Hao Zhigang could really endure, having a green hat put on him and he could still bear it.

But she couldn’t stand it.

The fatty stared at Jiang Xiaoxiao’s smooth chin and fair skin, momentarily stunned.

She’s really damn pretty.

Could it be there’s such a classy and beautiful woman in such a rundown place?

And she just happens to fancy Hao Zhigang?

Blind, huh.

But then he excitedly explained, "Him? Afford it! If Hao Zhigang can take out the money to buy one Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus today, I’ll give him ten for free. Ten of them worth a hundred thousand, for free, maybe the Hao family can turn around.

Everyone knows the Hao family can’t afford the Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus, and they have no hope of a tenth level Youthful Appearance Pill. Now that there’s a Snow Lotus, it’s a chance for the Hao family to turn their fate."

Hao Zhigang bowed his head; he indeed couldn’t afford it, not even borrowing for face’s sake.

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s heart shook greatly. A tenth level Youthful Appearance Pill, she still didn’t quite understand the so-called Ancient Medical World.

Were ancient doctors this formidable?

Elixirs were even graded?

In her concept, medicines were divided by content and efficacy.

What kind of godly concept was a tenth level now?

Wasn’t the Youthful Appearance Pill something the Hao family’s old lady couldn’t make?

Could she have misunderstood?

"Can you do it?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat, just for ten Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotuses. Money wasn’t the most important, but ten could brew many Youthful Appearance Pills, right?

She also needed money.

Squandering wasn’t Jiang Xiaoxiao’s skill; she was indeed a good woman frugal and managing the household.

Zhang the Fatty puffed up his chest, posed such a question by a beauty—even if he couldn’t, he had to.

"Everyone is a witness, this card..."

With a snap, he took out a black card.

The surrounding people buzzed.

"This is the famous Black Diamond Card, rumored to have a minimum limit of fifty thousand, damn rich!"

"Zhang Shaojie’s brother can’t be broke."

"You all saw it, didn’t you? Today, as long as Hao Zhigang can afford to buy one Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus, at any price, I’ll deliver on my word without fail, immediately paying for ten Snow Lotuses to gift him, for free!"

Zhang the Fatty looked smug; Hao Zhigang looked angry and resentful—so what if there’s money? Grandma’s money, amazing?

This was a barefaced slap.

He wanted to cry, couldn’t afford it.

He really wished a card would fall from the sky now, letting him transform himself from rags to riches in a single go, and show Zhang the Fatty what a comeback is.

What a pity!

It was just wishful thinking.

Suddenly his hand was raised by someone, yes.

A hand was raised by someone.

Jiang Xiaoxiao raised Hao Zhigang’s hand, "My dear nephew is buying a Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus! Nephew, even if we don’t steam buns, we must win our pride! Buy!"

All the people buzzed, seeing a good show, quite a few crowded around.

Zhang the Fatty’s face stiffened, wasn’t this intentionally opposing him!

The shop assistant didn’t believe it at all—a pauper still pretending.

"Sir, in that case, will you be paying by card or cash? Rest assured! I will also honor my words, no shady business! Five thousand bucks, not a penny more."

In a mocking tone.

Sneering at Hao Zhigang, whose face was flushed red, looking so poor and awkward?

Hao Zhigang stammered, Fan Xiao was putting him on the spot.

This time it would really be a big disgrace.

"I can’t afford to..."

Before he could even finish saying he couldn’t afford it, Jiang Xiaoxiao slapped his hand on the table.

"Pay by card!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s hand was removed.

Hao Zhigang’s palm throbbed painfully, pay by card for what?

He only had five hundred in his bank card, still paying by card!

He raised his hand to rub his palm, and saw a card revealed under his palm.

Yellow, a common bank card.

A warm feeling inside.

Knew it was surely Fan Xiao who just took it out, wanting to save face for him.

Sadly, this is ten thousand, even at half price, it still costs five thousand, Fan Xiao didn’t seem like a rich person either.

Someone waiting for an old lady’s gratitude couldn’t be rich.

Someone coming to take advantage of his family couldn’t be rich, if he Hao Zhigang changed his surname to yours.

Just about to say he wouldn’t buy it.

The shop assistant already relentlessly picked up the card—a regular bank card, which most people owned one, nothing special.

"Looks like this gentleman really has money! Let’s swipe it then. See if five thousand can be charged?"

Not giving Hao Zhigang a chance to take back the bank card.

Just wanting to let everyone see Hao Zhigang’s embarrassing moment.

Hao Zhigang hurriedly said, "Don’t swipe!"

No money, why swipe!

"Dear nephew, you’re too modest, didn’t you say that card is money set aside to buy the Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus? Now you’ve encountered so many kind people, giving you a fifty percent discount and a gift of ten Snow Lotuses.

You can’t let so many people down. Swipe it, don’t listen to him, sell everything if you need to, right, kind big sister?"

The shop assistant’s face turned black, damn, this girl had such a sharp tongue.

Then she couldn’t blame herself for showing no mercy.

"Alright, I’m sure this kind person will help, fifty percent! Five thousand, take a good look."

Others chuckled.

Who couldn’t see the situation, Hao Zhigang’s face turned red as a monkey’s butt.

That’s being anxious.

Anxious for what?

Isn’t it because of no money!

"No money is no money! I hate those who have no money still putting on a show the most."

"Exactly, no money yet acting all high and mighty."

"Embarrassing, really!"

Zhang the Fatty was excited, "Swipe! Swipe! Swipe! I love swiping the most."

"Beep!"

Once.

The card machine rang once.

Everyone stared at the shop assistant.

"Successful swipe?"

After all, not everyone kicked someone while they were down, and some hoped for a reversal.

Hao Zhigang didn’t look like a bad guy.

There were also some who were sympathetic.

The shop assistant smirked, couldn’t hide her smug expression.

"Needs a password! Sir, enter the password."

"Not much money naturally needs a password, everyone’s so eager for it?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao took it upon herself to enter the password.

"Dear nephew, auntie will do it for you. We’re one family, what’s yours is mine."

She didn’t say the part about what’s mine being yours.
