In a dark corner of Shuanglong County.

"It's been two days and you still haven't found anyone. Are you an idiot?" The woman's voice was full of anger.

The bald man snorted coldly: "Go find them if you dare. You're just ordering me around. I lost them that day because they were driving too fast. I've been driving around the market and school all day today and haven't run into them."

“I don’t care how you search, we have to find it before dark tomorrow. That big boss is urging us again. If we don’t deliver the goods soon, we’re both in trouble.”

The woman gritted her teeth, poking her finger at the bald man's forehead.

"It's all your fault for showing off! Now look what happened! The big boss took the bait and gave us a whopping 150,000. But we didn't get the goods, and now it's our fault."

The woman grew angrier the more she thought about it, realizing that the goods hadn't been found yet, and the 150,000 yuan in cash was about to disappear.

"How could I have known we wouldn't find it today? I thought the goods would come to the county again today. But I found out some important information: that little girl and her mother used to sell red bean cakes at a primary school, and many people saw her."

The bald man was full of confidence, believing that his method would definitely work, and he felt that he might be able to get the goods tomorrow.

"I've asked a lot of people to keep an eye out for me. If she shows up tomorrow, someone will definitely let me know. Don't worry! I'll definitely be able to deliver the goods to the big boss before dark tomorrow."

"Hmph! You said it yourself, if the 150,000 yuan goes to waste, you'd better sell yourself to get the money back for me."

"Just trust me! 150,000 guaranteed, hahaha—"

Beneath the laughter lies filthy desire and wicked human nature.

Lujia Village is peaceful and serene.

As dawn broke, Yunping got up. Besides cooking breakfast, she also had to prepare the ingredients for making pastries.

She was thrilled to have tasted the joy of making money yesterday.

If he can earn more than 100 yuan a day, after deducting Lu Yong's labor and material costs, he can still make 100 yuan.

That adds up to about three thousand a month, which is a huge sum of money.

An average salary is only around 300 yuan, barely enough to eat and wear.

If you have an income of three thousand, you'll be considered part of a wealthy family.

Her family will be able to pay off their 10,000 yuan debt soon and stop being gossiped about.

Hearing the sounds from the kitchen, An Wan woke up.

Knowing that Yunping had the idea of ​​making money, she started getting up earlier and earlier every day.

This made her feel very sad, not wanting Yunping to suffer so much.

So all I can do is wake up early and try my best to help.

The two of them worked for three hours to make the extra amount of pastries for today.

After breakfast, Yunping went to Shuanglong County with Lu Yong.

An Wan and Lu Zhili were left to look after the house.

With plenty of time, Lu Jiayan diligently taught the two first-grade students the texts.

I spent a month teaching them to recognize and write characters. They studied diligently and learned a lot.

Now it's time to study the text.

Lu Zhili didn't want to study and insisted on going out to play.

It was only after Anwan coaxed him with sweet water that he obediently studied.

Otherwise, nothing you do will be able to handle him.

An Wan was unaware that Lu Zhili was deliberately throwing a tantrum so that he could drink more of the sweet water.

He felt that this stuff not only tasted good, but also made him feel very comfortable and full of energy.

When he studies, his memory improves, his learning speed increases significantly, and it seems to have made him smarter.

After resting and recuperating for nearly two days, the wound healed quickly thanks to the spiritual spring water and medicinal pills.

Although she can't run or jump, she can already stand up.

The cats are the happiest.

Despite his expressionless face, he remained as cold as ice.

An Wan thought that Guai Guai would be better soon and should be able to go to Shenxian Mountain to find the giant eagle after Lu Jingxing and the others went home in the afternoon.

We must thank them properly; their life-saving grace deserves to be repaid with boundless gratitude.

Should we bring some fruit or other gifts?

Or shall we offer a cup of sacred spring water as a token of our gratitude?

An Wan was preoccupied with the thank-you gift, unaware that something significant had happened elsewhere.

Yunping and Lu Yong arrived in Shuanglong County at 11:00 AM.

Since school hadn't let out yet, they had to go to the market to sell pastries first.

Because it looks appealing and tastes good, customers who have tried it once want to buy it a second or third time.

So selling pastries here at the market is very popular; half of them were sold in just half an hour.

At 11:30, Yunping and Lu Yong hurried to a middle school one kilometer away.

This is my first time there; I should be able to sell the remaining half of the pastries.

Lu Yong was riding his very old motorcycle when he happened to pass by a department store.

The proprietress, who was standing at the door eating sunflower seeds, happened to see this motorcycle that she had seen once before and vaguely remembered.

"That motorcycle clearly belongs to that woman, so how come someone else is driving it today?"

The proprietress was very curious, but she acted quickly, chasing after them on her brand-new motorcycle.

She followed it all the way, and finally, a minute later, the very old motorcycle stopped in front of a middle school.

She was so happy that she didn't lose track of them, she almost started dancing.

After parking her motorcycle, the proprietress slowly walked over.

After the middle-aged woman and the young man got out of the car, they took out a few items from the box to sell.

"Hey beautiful lady, are you selling red bean cakes?" The proprietress looked at the various pastries on the motorcycle, then looked closely at Yunping and noticed that she looked a bit like the little girl.

"Hello, I sell red bean cake, water chestnut cake and osmanthus cake here. They're three cents a piece, five cents for two pieces, and eight cents for three pieces."
