Chapter 701 The Rich Kid’s Stall
As the saying goes, winter vacation brings laughter, while summer vacation brings joy—an experience only known to children who attended school. Josh had finished all his summer homework on the first or second day of vacation and wasted no time in seeking out Lilly to play.
Drake, pretending to pass by with a water bottle in hand, noticed Lilly with a pet carrier on her back and a small bag slung around her waist, bulging with supplies. He adopted a stern, parental tone and glanced at them, inadvertently exuding an air of authority.
“Where are you going?” Drake asked, his expression cold, reminiscent of a parent.
In that instant, his gaze carried an invisible aura of parental authority.
Lilly blinked nervously and said, “We’re going…”
Josh interjected eagerly, “We’re going bird-watching!”
Polly, shouting from inside the pet carrier, added, “Absolutely right! Take me for a walk!”
Drake sighed, sipping his water with an indifferent expression as he walked by. “Granny won’t let you go out like that,” he remarked.
Lilly, wearing a pitiful expression, asked. Then how can we go out?”
Drake paused for a moment and replied, “Take me with you
Lilly and Josh were instantly speechless.
In the end, they managed to go out successfully, with Drake leading the way as the older brother.
With many uncles in the family, the current large apartment was still under renovation, and the idle Max had been caught by Bettany, becoming the “king” of the kids-taking care of them.
Max drove the car and asked, “Where are we going little darling?”
Lilly excitedly waved her little fist and exclaimed, “To the antique street, to set up a stall!”
Max was speechless.
Josh asked, “Why set up a stall?”
What he wanted to say was that if Lilly wanted to, she could buy a store anytime.
But Lilly replied, “Because there are many people there, many who like to buy unusual things.”
Drake, holding his phone, asked casually, “Who told you that?”
Lilly replied. “Daddy said!”
Josh, Drake, and Max fell silent simultaneously.
Lilly immersed herself in her excitement.
Oh wow, she was going to set up a stall and make money!
A single string of bracelets could fetch hundreds of millions!
She didn’t have to sell many, just a few strings of bracelets for three or four billion would be enough. A small profit from high sales.
When she had lots of money, she could do many things. She could build a big, big house, where old people who had no family to go back to could live. There would be food, meat, and a television in the
house.
This way, there wouldn’t be people like Grandma dying in a typhoon or front of their son’s house.
She could also build many schools and tell people in Jessie’s hometown, who lacked education, that using human skin to make drums wouldn’t connect them to the Underworld. Being a good person means believing in science!
This way, there might be fewer tragedies like Jessie’s…
She could also invest in Uncle Max. If Uncle Max wanted to research a lithography machine, he could do it without worrying about other people’s opinions.
Taking a step back, with Dad’s spendthrift speed, she would need to earn even more money.
Then Dad could fly ten helicopters and show off…
Hmm? Something seems off…
Oh well, who would complain about having too much money, anyway?
Lilly and the others quickly arrived at the antique market.
There were many people, and the stalls were filled.
Josh, with Lilly in tow, rushed and finally found a spot near the corner to lay out Granny’s tablecloth….
Lilly’s small stall was now open for business.
She displayed several remaining pieces of amethyst jewelry.
There were three strands of bracelets, two strands of necklaces, and a slender, curved ring.
Ordinary children would experience life by selling small toys and trinkets, costing only tens or hundreds of dollars.
But Lilly was experiencing life by selling jade and buying bracelets, with a starting cost of one billion….
The quality of these few strands of jade was exceptionally good. As soon as they were displayed, they dazzled everyone’s eyes. And it was a group of children manning the stall…
Someone stopped in surprise, picked up a strand of a bracelet, and asked, “Child, how much are your bracelets?”
Lilly replied, “They’re very cheap! I’ll give you a special opening price of two billion! Two billion, it’s worth every penny, and you can wear it all year round!”
Just like a little shop owner, she spoke with confidence.
The jade beads on this bracelet were a bit small and had some flaws…so two billion was enough..
Unexpectedly, the “customer” widened his eyes, threw the bracelet onto her table, and exclaimed loudly, “What? Two billion? Are you crazy, kid? You’re learning to cheat people at such a young age!”
The bracelet landed with a loud thud on the tablecloth, fortunately not breaking.
Lilly angrily retorted, “If you don’t want to buy it, you don’t have to! But if you throw my bracelet like that and break it, you’ll have to compensate me with two billion!”
The man sneered, “Compensate you? Are you kidding me? Two billion? Is it in underworld currency? You’re out of your mind. I might as well burn it for you
He spoke in a harsh tone, his face full of mockery.
Max frowned, staring coldly at him.
The man had intended to say something more, but seeing Max’s expression, he held back, grumbled to himself, and walked away.
Lilly was furious!
Josh was also angry, rolling up his sleeves and shouting, “How dare you insult my sister? Stop right there!”
Lilly quickly pulled Josh back and said. “Forget it, forget it. Uncle Anthony said that in business, harmony is most important.”
Oh, she just realized that Uncle Anthony’s business was not easy.
Lilly continued with her stall, but her outrageous price of two billion piqued the curiosity of the onlookers.
Someone asked, “What’s so special about your bracelets that they cost two billion?”
Lilly corrected, “It’s this strand of bracelets that cost two billion. It’s because the beads are a bit small and have some flaws. These two strands together cost three billion.”
The crowd fell silent instantly.
“What about this necklace? What about this ring?”
Lilly said, “The necklace has only one pendant, and the jade in the ring is very small. So the necklace and ring are cheap, only thirty million.”
The crowd fell silent again.
Thirty million? And they’re still considered cheap?
“Who told you to price them like this…”
Lilly replied seriously, “First of all, this jade is Royal Purple Imperial Jade. Uncle Anthony had it authenticated by experts, so it’s not fake.”
She spoke with childlike innocence but with a sense of composure. “And these bracelets; necklaces, and rings all have protective properties. They can ward off evil spirits and protect your life.”

Chapter 701 The Rich Kid’s Stall
The crowd fell silent once again.
Sure enough, this was just a little swindler.
Everyone’s eyes showed a tinge of pity. This child was fair, innocent, and adorable. It made people want to hug har.
Who knew she would be brought out to do this by the adults in her family?
The crowd gave Max unfriendly looks, with some even glaring at him.
Max, innocent and bewildered, wore a confused expression.
What’s wrong with him? He was just standing behind, playing with his phone!
At that moment, a weak and powerless voice sounded, asking, “Can your necklace protect lives?”
A young man appeared in front of the stall.
Lilly blinked, looked up, and examined him.
Something was off about this big brother!
Lilly instinctively looked at the source of the problem-
He had a red string bracelet on his wrist, but this red string bracelet was slightly different.
In the thin red string, a black “thread” was woven-a strand of human hair…
