He felt a crushing pressure unlike anything he'd ever known.He went to find Master Ou Yang and said with his head bowed:"Teacher, if giving me up can end this battle, I'm willing! I don't want to see...Then you definitely aren't free, how much for a ride

Ripple smiled and asked.

Not expensive, one dollar per person!

The young man immediately said.

"This isn't expensive, one yuan is enough for all of us to take a ride back and forth."

"Hey, big sister, you can't talk like that. It's almost Chinese New Year now, and there are a lot of people going to the city. Can you guarantee you can squeeze past all those young people That you'll definitely get a seat"

"You can stand on your own two feet, but your grandson couldn't stand for even two hours! This is my little car, I guarantee you a seat and no being crammed. It's also faster than the bus, reaching the city in just over an hour."

The man, with a silver tongue, immediately began listing the advantages of taking a taxi.

You're right, but it's still a bit expensive. My grandson is just so small, not worth spending a dollar on.

Ripples spread out, she waved her hand.

"How much would this lady consider appropriate"

"Five dollars, the two of us, push it back and forth. If it works, next time I'll take your car to the city."

Ripples immediately said.

"Wow, sister, your prices are really steep."

"Alright! Give me a straight answer. If not, I'm taking my grandson to catch the bus. Don't waste everyone's time."

"Alright! Respecting the elderly and caring for children is a virtue. Today, I'll consider it worth the trip even if I didn't accomplish anything. Let's get to know each other and become friends. You should get in the car!"

The man said helplessly.

"Dabao, come on, let's take a car ride too."

Ripples took Dabao's hand and got into the car.

Dabao was also riding in a car for the first time. He was attracted by the car and didn't feel as sad as before. After getting into the car, his bright eyes looked around curiously.

In the distance, Yu Meifeng unconsciously turned her head back. She only saw Lian Ri getting into a car and then driving away. She frowned, turning her gaze back to Wen Guoqing. She was very satisfied with her current life.

The boy driving the small car was very talkative. He chatted happily with Lianyi all the way. Lianyi learned that the boy's name was Lu Anli. After graduating from high school, he couldn't find a suitable job, so his family bought him a used car and let him run around, hauling cargo or giving rides, to earn some living expenses. At first glance, it was clear that his family wasn't short of money.

"So, you're familiar with the roads to both the city and the provincial capital"

Ripples asked.

"Of course, I'm familiar with that. There was once a family who took their son with paralysis to the provincial city for medical treatment, and they hired my car. I delivered them safely and sound."

Lu Anli smiled and said.

"Isn't that family surnamed Luo"

Liàn Yī thinks it's quite a coincidence.

"Hey, big sister, how did you know"

"That's my neighbor's family. They sold even their house to get medical treatment for their child. It's not easy."

"Isn't that right!"

"Little Lu, can you still deliver"

"Sure, I can attach a small trailer to my car and deliver it that way."

Lu An smiled broadly and said.

The ripples nodded, then asked some other questions. By the time the car stopped in front of a department store in the city, the two had already become quite familiar with each other.

Ripple and the other party greeted each other, then walked into the mall with Dabao. She came here this time to see if they accepted embroidery, how much they would charge, she also brought a finished product to check the market price.

Ripples first bought some snacks for Dabao, then went upstairs to the third floor, which sells fabrics and ready-made clothes.

After going around in circles, the ripples didn't see the embroidery counter and then smiled and asked a sales assistant who was knitting a sweater.

Hello! I wanted to ask you something.

After Ripples finished speaking, he grabbed a handful of sugar and placed it in front of the female cashier.

Then the woman raised her head and asked:

"Sister, what do you want to ask"

"I would like to ask, do you accept embroidered works here"

"Can you embroider"

The woman asked in astonishment.

"I learned it from my grandmother when I was young."

Ripple smiled and said.

"We don't sell these here, but you could try some shops that cater to foreigners. Some foreigners really like our hand-embroidered pieces and are willing to pay a high price for them. However, they usually buy display items or screens, not just small handkerchiefs."

"Thank you, I can't do that."

With a shake of her head, she feigned disappointment.

You could try your luck, maybe they'll accept small items too!

Perhaps the woman, seeing that taking care of children is difficult, comforted her.

"Thanks, same to you!"

Liàn Yī thanked them and, taking Dàbǎo with her, left the department store. When they came out, she saw Lǔ n Lǐ dozing in their car. She didn't hesitate to order him to drive them to a shop specializing in foreign goods.

"They only just entered the store, and there were barely any people inside. No one paid attention to them, the grandson and grandfather. A man even ran past them and said: "

"

"Auntie, we are here to receive guests."

Ripple didn't want to waste words, so she took out a round piece of double-sided embroidery from her bag. She spread it out and asked,

"Double-sided embroidery, would you like it"

When the man saw the ripple display after stitching, he gasped. It was a dragon on one side and a phoenix on the other, both so lifelike that calling it an artwork wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Even the salespeople who had been previously indifferent, with cold expressions, widened their eyes.

"Wow! This is a work of art! A real masterpiece! I'm buying this!"

A deep male voice came from behind the ripples, speaking in British English. Ripples understood it, but she pretended not to, only glancing back at the other party and then said to the man in front of her:

“That foreigner seems to have taken a liking to my things. Can I sell them to him”

"Well, he paid in foreign currency. We can exchange it for you into local cash."

The man immediately said.

At this time, the tall blond man with blue eyes had walked to Ripple's front and gestured for the man to lay out everything, allowing him to examine it carefully.

Lianshui wasn't afraid of these people backing out, after all, it wasn't a one-time purchase. So generously, she laid her embroidered works flat on the counter for foreigners to admire.

The man then asked in a low voice:

"Auntie, is this a family heirloom, or did you embroider it yourself"

"Of course, I embroidered it myself. A few years ago, things were so popular, could these things be kept"

Ripples speak silently.

Mr. John took a liking to the old woman's work, I can help you make this deal, of course we also want to make some money.

"Alright, you guys just draw lots according to the rules. It's state-owned anyway, so I'm not afraid of you bullying my wife."

Ripples spoke softly.

Then he took out a double-sided embroidered handkerchief that he had made while practicing. These were simpler designs, some flowers, birds, fish, and insects, but each one was so lively and vivid. John praised him profusely, showering him with compliments.

When Granny went out of the International Shop with her grandson, she had one thousand yuan in her pocket. The rest of the ten thousand yuan had already been deposited into her newly opened bankbook. Fortunately, she brought her ID card, and the rest was handled by the International Shop.

Otherwise, if she were to take a bunch of money back to town to deposit it, it would probably cause a stir.

"Dabao, come on, Mama's taking you shopping."

Liàn Yī's voice was bold and domineering.

"Milk, let's save some!"

"It's okay, the new year is coming soon. Just consider it as buying New Year goods in advance."

Dabao hesitated for two seconds, but ultimately followed his grandmother excitedly back into the department store.soul to devour the Ghost Child's soul, thus officially becoming his ghost servant.Of course, he wouldn't tell Zhang Zhe this, nor would he tell his parents. He only let Zhang Zhe appear in front of hi...
