led the remaining group to safely rendezvous with their captain. Then, under the open curtain of water, they went directly to the former warehouse.After they successfully entered the large warehouse,...That afternoon, Cheng Gangsheng paid Ripple a visit again. This time, he was as respectful as he could be, presenting the wooden box containing bracelets with both hands and offering a thick red envelope as well.

The ripples just smiled calmly and said:

"Mr. Cheng, have you given up on that girl who's chasing after you"

"Well, I'd rather listen to my grandmother. I wouldn't dare marry a woman like that."

Cheng Gangsheng awkwardly said.

After all, people told him to give up directly before. It was his own stubbornness that kept him going. Now, look at this, he's been slapped in the face.

"Marriage freedom, you will marry a virtuous and kind wife in the future. But I also give you a piece of advice, if you are loyal to your wife, your second half of life will naturally be smooth sailing. If you have any other thoughts, you will end up lonely in your old age. Hope for the best."

The ripples passed over the wooden box where the bracelets were stored, and calmly said to Cheng Gangsheng.

"Yes, I shall remember the mistress' words."

In just a short while, Cheng Gangsheng had already called himself a junior. He sure knew how to climb up the ladder!

Just then, Song Qingchuan rushed back. He heard from an old neighbor that someone had visited his mother at the old house, and he immediately thought of Boss Cheng. After missing him last time, he was still uneasy this time and hurried to the old house.

This time he caught up to him. Seeing Cheng Gangsheng, he said with a smile:

"Mr. Cheng, hello!"

"Hello!"

Cheng Gangsheng said with a kind smile.

"Mr. Cheng, my son is studying mechanical repair. I would trouble your technicians to give him more guidance."

Ripple said it with a casual smile.

"The technician, Song, is a quick learner. I'll definitely have others mentor him."

Cheng Gangsheng, so shrewd, immediately smiled and agreed.

After some casual conversation and confirming the time for picking up the embroidery, Cheng Gangsheng left with his assistant.

"Mom, is there nothing wrong"

"Just follow the technicians from Hong Kong City and learn as much as you can. What you learn is what truly belongs to you."

Ripples immediately instructed.

"Mom, don't worry. I've been working overtime to learn from the best."

"The core content you definitely didn't learn."

Ripples said with certainty.

"Hehehe! They're pretty good at covering it up."

I've greeted you, now study hard.

I understand.

Ten days later, Cheng Gangsheng left Qingshan Town, taking away Lian Yi's embroidery work and receiving a tiger-shaped amulet for protection. He immediately wore it close to his body, leaving the place contentedly.

"Ripple, your mission this time is complete, with 100% progress."

The sound of the stone mill echoed in ripples beside her ears.

"Well, I know."

Ripple carefully examined the bracelet in her hand, a faint smile playing on her lips. If it weren't for the evil soul's insatiable hunger and its absorption of the power from the cursed dagger, she wouldn't have been able to defeat him so easily.

Because the power of the cursed artifact served as a catalyst, she was able to sever the evil spirit from Xu Xinyan's soul and imprison it within the meticulously crafted cage she had built.

The blood jade bracelet was crafted by her using pure fire-elemental energy whenever she channeled her spiritual power. As long as it trapped an evil spirit, it would gradually weaken the opponent until the bracelet returned to its original state, at which point the evil spirit would be completely eradicated.

She wanted to determine the outcome, all she needed to do was wait. Because the original body had already reincarnated, she couldn't leave this plane for a while, so she had ample time.

The crisis has been resolved. The remaining time, ripples just need to live a good life and take care of the Song family for the original owner. It can be said that it is effortless, only requiring more time.

The next spring, the agricultural market in Qingshan Town was built. Following Lian Yi's suggestion, people from Luo Jia Zhuang bought stalls if they had money and rented them if they didn't, starting to openly sell their farm produce.

After they had saved some money, the three Luo brothers contracted the back hill of Luo Family Estate and began trying to plant fruit trees. Of course, during this period, Lianyi also provided a lot of help. The fruit tree expert was someone she hired from the city with her own money. Later, when the orchard became established, the fruits produced were transported to the agricultural market for sale, both retail and wholesale were profitable.

And the ripples bought four stalls in one go, all rented out, just waiting to collect the rent.

Because she started early and chose a good stall location, she thrived in the farmers market. After becoming the largest wholesale point for agricultural products in nearby towns, the rent for her stall doubled, making ripples' life financially comfortable for the rest of her days.

And occasionally, Lian Ri also takes on embroidery work. When she has money, she buys a house and a storefront.

Song Qingmei graduated from the Foreign Language Institute in the provincial capital and stayed there, passing the exam to join the provincial tourism bureau as an ordinary civil servant, and eventually married her colleague.

As a mother, she personally tested her son-in-law and found no major issues. Afterward, she bought a house in the provincial capital for her daughter and let the couple use it for their marriage. She also provided dowry with two sets of facade houses, all registered under her daughter's name, as premarital property.

The ripples' actions caused the attitude of the groom’s family to change. They no longer dared to look down upon their son-in-law's family, for besides one household registration in a provincial city, there was really nothing else they could boast about.

The ripples were very satisfied with this effect, and after having a deep talk with her daughter, she safely married her daughter off.

After marrying, Qingmei gave birth to a boy and a girl in her second year. Because she had ample resources, she did not ask her mother-in-law for help raising the children, but hired an aunt to take care of them specifically. She managed both her career and family, and her life was considered happy and fulfilling.

Under the urging of Lian Yi, Song Qinghai was admitted to the military academy after graduating from high school and graduated with excellent results. He chose to remain in the military upon graduation.

Because he was a technical troop, he was very popular. After the military reduction, he was promoted instead. At a young age, he became an officer. When he was thirty years old, he married a female army doctor from the same military district. After marriage, they lived a happy life with each other, and had a daughter.

Because of his frequent transfers, Qinghai had no choice but to let Lianyi buy a house in the provincial capital as well. This served as a wedding present for the couple, including two storefronts. The rental income from these properties gave them more financial leeway.

Sòng Qìngchuān, because he had Lián Yī by his side constantly reminding him, learned the technology early on and obtained the title of senior engineer. When the mechanical factory was declining, he used his solid skills to be transferred to the newly established Hongxing Car Factory in the city and became the head of the technical department.

Li Juan was pregnant with her third child at the time. After pulling some strings, she got a job as a librarian in the city. The whole family, including her elderly mother-in-law, moved to the city, and their lives became increasingly prosperous.

Because Qingshan Town was positioned as a tourist town and underwent a comprehensive planning overhaul, the old houses were demolished. Song Qingchuan received a large sum of demolition funds and directly bought a new house in the city center, effectively settling down.

Li Juan learned from her mother-in-law and, with the remaining money plus their savings, they also bought two sets of storefront rentals. They rented out the buildings in the machinery factory in Qingshan Town as well. This way, there was income every month for their family, and all three children were well brought up by them.youSang Sheng, who was very round and stout, said angrily."Yes, yes, yes! Mayor, please calm down, I'll find a way."Liu's secretary left the office briskly to attend to some business.On the other hand...
