Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 249: Two Pounds of Each (Update 22)

Could it be that someone really chose this day to make trouble?

Jiang Ran thought to herself and looked at the person who had spoken.

At a glance, Jiang Ran found that the person in front of her seemed somewhat familiar.

But she had seen too many people these days.

She had interacted with quite a few, so she didn’t immediately remember who the person in front of her was.

Before Jiang Ran could recall, the person standing opposite had already opened his mouth.

"Boss Jiang, that day I suddenly had a seizure on the street. If it weren’t for your quick reaction, saving my life, old man like me would be long gone with grass growing over my grave."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran finally remembered who he was.

He was the elderly man who had a sudden epileptic seizure on the street that day.

At that time, she was just focused on saving him and didn’t really pay attention to his appearance.

Afterwards, Jiang Ran left quickly without leaving her name. She didn’t give it much thought.

Moreover, it’s been quite a few days, so not remembering at once was understandable.

However, what the old man just said really made people feel a mix of emotions.

What did he mean by grass growing over the grave?

Even if one becomes unrestrained in speech with age, he shouldn’t talk about himself this way!

Jiang Ran thought to herself but didn’t pursue this line of conversation.

"Sir, is your health better now?"

The old man nodded repeatedly, "Thanks to your timely help, my family came quickly, too. After so many days of recuperation, I am all better."

Before Jiang Ran could say anything, the old man continued, "You left without saying a word that day, so when my family came, they couldn’t find anyone to thank. Later, we learned you were distributing flyers and realized you opened a shop here. So, I heard you were opening today and specially sent flower baskets."

As he spoke, the old man turned slightly and pointed behind him.

Jiang Ran looked in the direction he pointed and was instantly stunned.

She saw a dozen or twenty men, each holding a flower basket as tall as a person, walking towards them.

Jiang Ran, "?!"

The old man smiled, "These are just my small gesture, wishing your business great success. By the way, I heard your shop sells pastries, right? Later, give me two pounds of each kind of pastry, I’ll support your business."

Jiang Ran, "..."

Jiang Ran looked at the old man, amused and bewildered, needing a moment to gather her thoughts.

There was no help for it; in all her life, this was her first encounter with someone like him.

Even though she knew the old man was simply expressing gratitude, not causing trouble, this method of showing thanks was certainly a first.

Although their pastries were well-liked, people usually bought them one by one.

No matter how tasty, pastries aren’t a meal substitute.

Was the old man planning to replace meals with pastries, asking for two pounds of each kind?

Jiang Ran smiled at the old man, "Sir, I know your intentions are good, but there’s no need for this. Pastries can’t replace meals, and we have many varieties here. If you buy two pounds of each, you’d end up with dozens of pounds. How could you finish them? Wouldn’t that be wasteful?"

Jiang Ran enjoyed cooking and liked it when people enjoyed her creations but disliked waste. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The old man waved his hands, "Boss Jiang, don’t worry, they won’t be wasted. See those men? They have families each."
