Chapter 971: The More They Jump, the Happier They Get
ecisively ushered Ripples out of his room:"I'm going to go into seclusion for a while to research the upgraded version you mentioned. I won't be looking at your Knight Rank evaluations, and I wish you..."So soon"
After Ripple posed for a photo, she silently communicated with the millstone.
"Well, he performed well inside and exposed several new crimes committed by fellow inmates. He could be considered as having atoned for his sins and was therefore granted a reduction in sentence and released early."
"I'm still busy here for a while. You keep an eye on him and see what he does when he comes out."
"Don't worry, I've been keeping an eye on him all along!"
The Stone Mill immediately assured him that the so-called mind reading was just a manifestation of consciousness, and only he could handle it.
With the assurance of the stone mill, ripples began to busy herself with renting a house, moving, looking for work in Linshi, and communicating with her relatives back home, explaining that she was planning to develop her career in Linshi.
After Li Gang came out on the other side, he naturally had no face to return home. Everyone in his family already knew about his dismissal, and naturally they also knew the reason why the school had expelled him.
Originally, the family members still wanted to go to school and make a scene. However, after receiving the police arrest warrant from the school, they gave up their plan and even felt ashamed, completely cutting off contact with Li Gang.
Especially after learning that he was involved in gambling and made a living from it, getting arrested and sentenced to prison, the Li family considered this son as dead. They simply couldn't bear the shame of having him.
They just couldn't understand how their good son could have become like this. Could it be that he went bad after studying abroad
At this time, Li Gang left prison with over two thousand yuan. This was what he earned by operating a sewing machine in prison. He first treated himself to a good meal and rented a single room. Every day, he would work hard from morning till night looking for odd jobs. It seemed like he had truly turned over a new leaf.
The ripples on the other side have already found a house, renting a single-person apartment, which is relatively safe.
Because she always made money in the stock market during her annual holidays, Ripple interned at the securities firm she frequented during her final year of college.
Over two years, not to mention becoming wealthy, at least it's possible to support oneself. I have also saved some money in my hands. Even if there is no income in one or two years, I won't starve myself and can still guarantee my basic living.
Of course, she only chose to tell her family this much, and she also promised that she would cover the tuition for both her younger brother and sister in the future. She just wouldn't send money back home during the years they were studying, and her parents, Luo father and Luo mother, agreed to this.
After all, 漣漪 paid for her university tuition herself. They didn't provide much support to their daughter. Now that their eldest daughter has graduated, she takes care of the two younger ones, which invisibly relieves the burden on the couple, and they are very happy about it.
Similarly, they were aware that competition in big cities was fierce. As their daughter had just entered the workforce, her salary wouldn't be high. To support two children by saving and being frugal was already stretching them to the limit. They felt ashamed to ask their daughter for money.
By doing so, she doesn't want to give her elderly parents and siblings the impression that making money is easy for her. Over time, they might get used to the original owner's contributions and end up raising a group of blood-sucking leeches.
This kind of thing isn't impossible, after all, in their hometown, they still place more importance on sons. Lian Yi did this to help her younger brother get into university through his own efforts.
Once outside, not only are there more opportunities, but after broadening one's horizons, if one wants to live a good life, as a man, he will also understand that he should strive and work hard for himself instead of relying on his elder sister.
After that, Ripples would stay at the securities company from Monday to Friday, and visit Li Gang on weekends.
Li Gang, after all, is a former inmate, and his every move is still under scrutiny. Finding a job wasn't easy either, and after hitting a wall everywhere, he could only return to the antique street to set up a stall again.
Li Gang had a good plan; he was going to pick up bargains. As long as he found one genuine item, he could turn his life around, and the money in his hands would have a legitimate source.
Yes, Li Gang stayed in Linshi because he accidentally learned through telepathy from a fellow inmate where the latter had hidden his money.
This is a robber, and a rather violent one. He robbed a foreign trade market business with his accomplices and wounded over ten people with a homemade gun. He escaped for five years before being caught.
He's the only one who knows where it is. He hid a large sum of money from his robbery, just in case things went south before he could escape. His accomplices don't know about it and he plans to continue enjoying life after getting out of prison.
Li Gang couldn't sleep all night after hearing the news. He was thrilled, this was a great opportunity. After all, it was stolen money. Even if it disappeared, the person wouldn't dare to report it to the police. Losing it would be a loss for nothing, they wouldn't suspect him at all.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. It was because of this large sum of money hanging over him that he kept achieving feats and got released from prison early.
Because the place where the money was hidden was near that foreign trade market, Li Gang decided to stay put for now and settled down in Linshi first. He needed a legitimate income before he could make any moves. Besides, Bai wouldn't be released from prison for another three years. He had plenty of time to get his money back.
Ripple had no idea Li Gang would be so lucky to have another chance to turn things around. But because Stone Mill was keeping an eye on him, she continued to look for work as usual and would occasionally update Stone Mill on Li Gang's situation.
"Has this guy really turned over a new leaf"
Liangan watched Li Gang selling his wares from afar, and stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"I don't know, why don't you go and test the waters"
The stone mill churned.
"Well, it's not a bad idea. Otherwise the progress of the task would be too slow."
Ripple indicates agreement, but if the other party doesn't take action, she won't have the opportunity to hone her mind-reading skills. This won't do.
The ripples walked along the road where Li Gang set up his stall, and she happened to pick up a pair of emerald water drop earrings. She put them on happily and then came to Li Gang's stall.
"Beauty, what would you like to buy Just take a look around. I haven't opened yet, so if you see something you like, I'll give you a discount."
Li Gang was wiping a teacup when he saw a pair of white sneakers in front of his stall. The other person was wearing a skirt, and he instinctively blurted out words. After finishing, he looked up, and then he was stunned. His eyes immediately locked onto the other person as if they were filled with venom.
Ripples carelessly swept over the things on her stall and asked casually:
"Do you have any jewelry" Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!
After she finished asking, but received no answer, Lian'er raised her eyes to look at the stall owner, then feigned surprise, covering her mouth and exclaiming:
"Lee Gang, is it you You're out of prison"
A simple sentence immediately drew the attention of those around him, but Li Gang's eyes turned red with anger. He felt that the other person was deliberately doing this.
"Leave! I won't do business with you."
Li Gang said coldly.
"Come on! We're practically alumni, after all. You've made it this far, I should at least support your business."
Ripples said very generously.
"Hmph! I don't need your fake kindness. I ended up like this because of you!"
Li Gang's words came out almost through gritted teeth.
Liàn Yī narrowed her eyes, stepped forward, and lowered her voice, letting out a single sentence from between her teeth:
"I only fought back! Wasn't it because you started it, hiring thugs to ruin me"o she decided to show her ugly face, so that when these people saw it at first glance, they wouldn't want to look a second time.The Zhang family had grown accustomed to Lianyi's scarred face. Besides,...
