The two moved so quickly that Old Lin was dazzled by their movements.

Old Lin thought to himself, "This is a true benefactor. He doesn't care about the price when buying things, and he doesn't even care about the children. He just picks whatever he wants."

In less than fifteen minutes, Min Yueqing and Pei Ji had filled the small box together. It could be said that they had picked out most of the completed works, leaving mostly unfinished products.

Oh, there were a few half-finished pieces that were quite interesting, so Min Yueqing picked them up and put them in the box, thinking that they would be perfect for the little one to cut and play with later, as educational toys.

Seeing that they had almost finished selecting, Min Yueqing moved the small box in front of Old Lin. "Grandpa, please count the paper-cuts here. They come in all sizes. If the prices are different, please don't hesitate to pay the original price. Don't be ripped off."

In all his years in business, this was the first time Old Lin had ever heard a customer say something like this. The words implied that the customer was afraid he, the seller, would be taken advantage of. He and his wife exchanged a glance, both of them filled with emotion.

Old Lin finally understood. This girl was not only born into wealth, but also gentle and polite, always considerate of others. She had clearly received a good upbringing and her status was definitely not ordinary.

Perhaps it was out of divine mercy that he saw how he had lived a life of hardship because he had mistakenly trusted a heartless scoundrel, and that's why this little girl was sent to help him, both openly and secretly.

Old Lin sighed inwardly, said "Wait a minute," and turned to go into the room.

Min Yueqing was a little confused, thinking to herself, why didn't this old man hurry up and count the money, but instead turned around and left?

The old lady knew that her husband was the type who didn't like to take advantage of others, and judging from his behavior, he must have gone to retrieve his most treasured possessions that he never wanted to part with.

Sure enough, it took Old Lin quite a while before he carefully carried out a small box.

Even Stone's attention was drawn to it. He was also curious about what extraordinary thing was inside the box that the old man was holding so carefully.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Old Lin reluctantly opened the box.

Stone reacted the most, exclaiming "Wow!" "Grandpa, I didn't know you were so rich!"

Upon hearing this, Old Lin glared fiercely at Shi Tou and angrily said, "What a vulgar person!"

Stone was indignant. "You hid the treasures while wearing tattered clothes, and now that I've discovered it, you're furious!" he retorted. "How am I materialistic? I don't have that many treasures!"

Min Yueqing was speechless. The younger one was childish, and the older one was unforgiving. If the two of them were to be together, there would be no end to the chaos.

He immediately changed the subject, "Grandpa, can we sell these two paper-cuttings too?"

Pei Ji also stared at Lao Lin expectantly. He could also tell that there were two paper-cuts in the box. Unlike the real "paper" in front, these two were cut with gold and silver foil, so they looked dazzling when the box was opened.

This old man has such skillful hands that he can cut out such exquisite and intricate paper-cuts from thin gold and silver foil.

Old Lin had already taken it out, so he naturally intended to give it to them. He closed his eyes and readily said, "Okay, take it if you want it."

Min Yueqing was overjoyed and immediately said, "Old man, we'll take both of these as well. Please name your price."

Old Lin never took out these two works when he was setting up his stall. First, people who buy things at stalls usually don't have much money, and he knows that no one can afford to pay the price. Second, he was afraid that if he took them out rashly, they would be seen by people with bad intentions, and he would not only fail to make money but might also get into trouble.

Although he knew that Min Yueqing was a wealthy person, Lao Lin did not ask for an exorbitant price and only quoted a cost price based on the materials required.

Min Yueqing certainly wouldn't take advantage of the old woman.

She had always felt that with the old man's skills, he shouldn't be living such a poor life. Besides, after being here for so long, she could tell that the two old people probably didn't have any children. If she didn't take this opportunity to help them, the two old people would probably have an even harder time in the future.

Afraid that the old man would refuse, she packed up the small box and case herself and handed them to Shi Tou, quickly giving him a wink to signal him to follow her in a moment.

Then, she took out a silver note from her sleeve, worth one hundred taels, which was just right for the two old people. She put the silver note on the table, didn't say anything, and then picked up the little boy and ran out.

Stone understood her instructions, immediately grabbed his things and ran after her. After training for so long, he didn't have any other skills, but when it came to escaping, not many people could catch him.

Old Lin and his wife were completely unprepared. They only felt two gusts of wind pass by, and then watched helplessly as they ran away one after the other, both with the same bewildered expression on their faces.

If it were anyone else, Lao Lin might have suspected that the person was trying to steal their things, but when it came to Min Yueqing, he had no such thoughts at all.

The little girl had left him ten taels of silver early in the morning, so even if he didn't give her another penny, he wouldn't lose out.

The old lady reached for the silver note on the table and looked at it. When she saw the amount, she couldn't help but rub her eyes. But when she looked again, it was still one hundred taels. The old lady grabbed the sleeve of Old Lin, who was standing next to her, and tugged it hard.

Old Lin looked blankly at his wife, who then handed him the banknotes.

The two men had run a shop when they were young, so they knew most of the commonly used characters. When Old Lin saw the banknote, he was startled and his whole body swayed involuntarily.

The old lady pulled him down to sit with her, "Just who is this girl? She's so generous!"

Old Lin replied blankly, "I don't know either. She just walked over when I was setting up my stall, but judging from her clothes and demeanor, she must come from an extraordinary background."

The two elderly people looked at each other, completely stunned by this unexpected windfall.

Feeling uneasy, Lao Lin got up and ran out the door. Standing at the gate, he looked around and shouted "Little kid!" twice, but there was no reply; the person had vanished.

The old lady walked up to him and said, "It seems he really is gone. This little kid is so kind and runs so fast. Even carrying the child didn't slow him down at all."

Old Lin, unwilling to give up, searched the alleyway again, but still found nothing. Only then did he help his wife walk back.

After entering the house, Old Lin stood there for a moment in a daze before he seemed to wake up from a dream. He then took out the deposit money given to him by Min Yueqing from his chest and placed it on the table. "This is also from her. She gave it to me before I came."

The old lady couldn't help but exclaim "Heavenly Bodhisattva," then took the silver ingot and touched it. Not to mention such a large silver ingot, she had rarely seen even small pieces of silver in the past twenty years.

It's no exaggeration to say that with this money, the elderly couple could live to their last without worrying about money.
