After learning that Yuan Jia really had no money, Yuan Wei was completely panicked.

He ignored Yuan Jia's attempts to stop her and forcibly seized the key to Yuan Jia's residence, preparing to take Yuan Jia's valuable jewelry and pawn it for money.

But when Yuan Wei entered Yuan Jia's bedroom, he was dumbfounded when he saw the empty dressing table and cabinet.

The eldest sister must have hidden the valuables! Yuan Wei did not believe it and searched the house. Finally, he found a safe in the closet.

The safe was not big, it was square, but it was very heavy, and Yuan Wei tried his best to lift it but failed.

There must be money in it, maybe even gold bars and nuggets, otherwise it wouldn't be so heavy.

Yuan Wei was overjoyed and slept soundly while holding the safe. When it was daybreak, he immediately ran to find a locksmith.

When the locksmith saw that they were going to pry open the safe, he immediately shook his head and refused, fearing that he would get into trouble.

Yuan Wei tried his best to persuade the locksmith, even increasing the salary by twice as much, before he finally agreed to take the job.

The locksmith was probably trying to pry open a safe for the first time and was not very skilled at the job. It took him more than half an hour to finally pry open the lock of the safe.

Yuan Wei immediately paid the money and sent the locksmith away before opening the safe.

As soon as he opened the safe, Yuan Wei was dumbfounded again.

There was nothing inside, not even a hair.

Yuan Wei rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked again, but still there was nothing.

He didn't believe it and reached his hand in to feel around, but the result was predictable: he just felt empty air.

Yuan Wei was so angry that he picked up the safe weighing dozens of kilograms and smashed it heavily to the ground, leaving spider-web-like cracks on the floor tiles.

Looking at the cracks on the ground, Yuan Wei suddenly realized that although the money and jewelry were gone, he still had the house! The house was a Western-style apartment built 20 years ago. It was a duplex structure with an area of ​​nearly 200 square meters. The location was also good. With today's housing prices, it would definitely be no problem to sell it for hundreds of thousands! Although Yuan Jia's brother had robbed her of the keys to her house, she was not in a hurry at all.

All the valuables and cash in the house were in her bag, leaving only an empty house.

She slept peacefully in the ward and was discharged from the hospital the next morning.

When Yuan Wei ran back to the hospital, the bed was empty. He found the nurse and asked where Yuan Jia was, but the nurse had no idea.

Yuan Jia went to the detention center. Although she could not meet her son, she could save some money for her son, which could be used for daily expenses in the detention center, such as buying toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels, shampoo, etc.

Hearing that she was going to deposit 200 yuan for Shao Yian, the detention center staff couldn't help but remind her: "You don't need that much. A person can spend at most 5 yuan a month. It's enough for you to save 5 yuan. In a month, Shao Anyi's trial will come down."

Hearing this, Yuan Jia immediately burst into tears.

My son was born into a life of luxury, with the best of everything; his food, clothing, housing and transportation were all the best. His normal meal cost more than 5 yuan. But now he has become a prisoner and can only spend 5 yuan a month. How can my son endure such a hard life?

Yuan Jia looked at the police officer in the detention center with tears in her eyes, "Can you make an exception? It doesn't matter if I give you a little more money..."

"No, this is the rule, no one can be an exception."

Faced with the righteous faces of the police officers in the detention center, Yuan Jia could only cry while saving 5 yuan for her son.

After waking up from a nap in the afternoon, Yun Mo packed up and took Ling Chunhua to the street to set up the stall.

On the first day of the stall, I was not sure how much I could sell. I only prepared 30 portions of each of the ingredients for bubble milk tea and handmade ice jelly. It would be best if I could sell them all, but if not, I could give them to my neighbors.

Street management in this era was not as strict as in later generations. Except for the main roads in the city center, there were no restrictions on setting up stalls in other places.

After some prior investigation, Yun Mo chose the snack street behind the commercial street as the location for her stall.

The two arrived too late, and the good spots on the snack street were all occupied by various snack stalls. Yun Mo finally found an empty spot at the end of the street.

Just as she had set up the cart and was about to set up the stall, a gust of wind blew, bringing with it an unpleasant stench that almost made Yun Mo vomit.

Ling Chunhua also pinched her nose tightly, and her cute face wrinkled into a bun.

"Aunt, it stinks here."

Yun Mo looked around and couldn't find the source of the smell, so she turned to ask the vendor selling stinky tofu.

The vendor looked at the aunt and nephew and teased them, "You are new here, right? There is a garbage station behind this wall. In the summer, the garbage will go bad and naturally stink."

No wonder there are only stinky tofu and cockroach and rat poison sellers at the end of the street! How could they sell desserts in such a place?

Yun Mo had no choice but to push the cart away and look for a suitable stall again.

The milk tea cart drawn by Yun Mo was too eye-catching. It was stopped by two young girls who looked like students after a while.

“You also sell handmade ice jelly?”

Yun Mo's attention was focused on the "handmade ice jelly" and she didn't pay much attention to the word "也" used by the other party.

"Yes, authentic hand-kneaded old ice jelly, with two flavors: brown sugar and honey. Would you like a bowl? Today is the opening day promotion, the second bowl is half price, and an extra serving of taro balls will be given."

“How much is a bowl?”

"Sanmao, our old ice jelly has eight ingredients. Here are some samples. You can take a look."

Yun Mo parked the cart and took out the handmade ice jelly in a crystal bowl from the cabinet.

Various ingredients such as ice jelly and taro balls emit an attractive luster under the reflection of the crystal bowl.

"Wow, this has more ingredients than Bing Zhi Lian, and the price is much cheaper than Bing Zhi Lian. Give me a cup of brown sugar!"

"I want the honey one. You said you would give me an extra portion of taro balls, right?"

Yun Mo didn't expect to have business coming so soon, and nodded quickly, "Yes, today is the opening day promotion, and every customer will get an extra portion of taro balls. If you don't like taro balls, you can replace them with red beans."

"We all want taro balls!"

"I like taro balls the most. They are bouncy, fragrant, sweet and chewy. I can never get enough of them. But Bing Zhi Lian is too expensive. An extra serving of taro balls costs 20 cents more."

Yun Mo found a place to park the cart and made ice jelly for the two girls while chatting with them curiously.

"Is the Ice Love you're talking about a dessert shop? Do they also sell handmade ice jelly like ours?"

"Yes, it's only been open for a few days, right over there. We only ate there once, and one bowl cost fifty cents, so two bowls cost one dollar."

"The ice jelly here is a great deal. The portion is bigger than hers, and two bowls only cost 45 cents, and they even give you taro balls. Will you sell it here from now on?"
