The next day, Yun Mo taught Ling Chunhua how to make pearl milk tea and handmade ice powder at home, while Ling Jiang went to the second-hand market to buy a small cart for her daughter to set up a stall.
Yun Mo and Ling Jiang spent half a day remodeling the cart.
The bottom of the cart is completely surrounded by wooden boards, making it a large storage cabinet that can store materials and cash boxes. The top of the cart is covered with sunshades on all sides, which can not only block the sun but also prevent rain.
Yun Mo used her painting skills to paint the cart colorfully, and wrote bold and eye-catching words such as "Pearl Milk Tea" and "Handmade Ice Powder".
I also used the remaining small pieces of wood to make a small rectangular signboard with the four characters "Spring Flower Sugar Water" written on it.
Finally, the star lights are hung all around the roof of the cart. At night, the star lights are turned on, and they twinkle and shine, which is particularly beautiful.
Looking at her own candy cart, Ling Chunhua was so happy that she wanted to jump up.
“What a beautiful stroller!”
Ling Jiang wiped the sweat from his head and was equally happy, "It's my brother and sister's ingenuity. I can push this car onto the street at night and I won't have to worry about no guests coming."
Yun Mo walked around the cart and suddenly thought of something.
"Brother, do you know how to be an electrician? We need to make a light inside the roof of the car, otherwise we can't see clearly at night."
Ling Jiang responded: "Uncle Deng will meet, I will invite him to come tonight."
"Brother, you go now. I'll invite Uncle Deng to have dinner here tonight. I'll go buy groceries first."
"That's fine."
Not long after Ling Jiang left the house, the people sent by Shao Lin to collect identification materials arrived.
Yun Mo did not trust the other party rashly. Instead, she called Shao Lin first and confirmed the authenticity of the other party's identity before handing over hair and saliva samples to the other party to take away.

Yuan Jia spent a lot of time before finally finding out which detention center her son Shao Yian was being held in.
According to regulations, unconvicted criminal suspects are detained in detention centers. Their families are not allowed to see them and they can only entrust lawyers.
Of course, there are special circumstances.
For example, when Yun Mo went to the jail to see Yun Yao, it was a special situation. She was trying to persuade Yun Yao to plead guilty.
Obviously, Yuan Jia did not meet the special circumstances and could only find a lawyer for her son, and she also had to find a good lawyer.
But the fees of good lawyers are not cheap. In order to find a scapegoat for his son, Yuan Jia had already spent all his money.
She had no choice but to sell her jewelry to barely pay for a lawyer.
The lawyer received the money and worked efficiently. He had a clear understanding of the entire case in half a day.
"Ms. Yuan, you'd better be mentally prepared. Your son was involved in a traffic accident and caused death. He escaped after the incident. After the incident, he found someone to blame. He was punished for several crimes. He probably won't be able to escape for ten years."
Yuan Jia's legs went weak, and if the lawyer hadn't been quick to help her, she would have fallen to the ground.
"Lawyer Yang, you are a well-known barrister in the industry. Please help my family. He is still so young. If he stays in prison for ten years, his life will be completely ruined."
"Ms. Yuan, please calm down. I took over your case and I will do my best. But in your son's case, there are all the witnesses and physical evidence, and he himself confessed. It is basically iron-clad, and there is no room for maneuver.
Moreover, your son has a long criminal record, and when the judge makes a decision, he will also take these factors into consideration and give him a severe punishment."
With that said, Lawyer Yang sighed, "Ms. Yuan, I advise you to give up. Even if I come forward to defend you, it won't have much effect."
"Impossible, I only have such a son, how can I give up on him! Lawyer Yang, please, please think of a way, no matter how much money you spend, I can sell the house, I have money..."
"Sorry, there's nothing I can do. You'd better hire someone smarter."
Lawyer Yang was still conscientious and returned half of the fees previously collected to Yuan Jia.
Yuan Jia was naturally not willing to watch her son go to jail, but she visited famous law firms in the capital, and when they heard about Shao Yian's crime, they all shook their heads and refused.
By the time Yuan Wei arrived in the capital, it was already the afternoon of the third day.
"Sister, why don't you answer the phone?!"
Yuan Jia returned to her residence and saw Yuan Wei waiting at the door. She closed her eyes and fainted before she could speak.
In the past two days, she went out during the day to worry about her son's affairs, and came home in tears at night. She didn't eat, drink or sleep. Even her iron-clad body couldn't bear it.
When Yuan Jia woke up, it was already midnight.
Yuan Wei was standing by her bedside, taking a nap little by little.
Yuan Jia opened her dry lips and said hoarsely: "Give me a glass of water."
"Oh, okay!"
After drinking the water, Yuan Jia felt better. She looked at her brother and asked, "Why did you come to the capital?"
Yuan Wei wiped his face and said, "Sister, you're scaring me to death. Fortunately, the doctor said you just have low blood sugar. You need to put up a bottle of glucose. You'll be fine if you sleep again."
When Yuan Jia thought about her son, she felt sad in her heart, and tears flowed down her face.
"Xiaowei, the lawyer said that Yi'an will be sentenced to at least ten years."
Yuan Wei's eyes widened in surprise, "Is it that serious? Isn't it just a traffic accident? He didn't mean it! Are those lawyers trying to trick you?"
"I found more than one lawyer, and they all said the same thing. I would rather they cheat me. But when they heard about Yi'an's case, they refused to accept it no matter how much money they offered."
"Sister, could it be that those people refused to take on Yi'an's case because of what his brother-in-law said?"
Yuan Jia was stunned and murmured: "Shao Lin said that he would not do anything to Yi'an."
Yuan Wei didn't take it seriously, "Even if my brother-in-law didn't say it openly, those people would still look at the trend. Knowing that Yi'an is not my brother-in-law's son, of course they are not willing to take the case. I don't believe it. These lawyers don't make any money! I'm sure.
I don’t want to offend the Shao family.”
"Sister, why don't you go and beg your brother-in-law again..."
"It's useless. If I go, he will only get angrier. Then you and I will have to deal with it together."
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to sit here and wait for death? Now everyone knows that my cooperation with Shaw Brothers has stopped. Suppliers and manufacturers are blocking the company every day urging me to pay. Damn it, I have a shitty payment
Give them a knot."
As he said that, Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Jia's face carefully, "Sister, how about you return the 20,000 yuan I lent you before? I have no choice. I can't even afford a plane ticket now, so this time
Came here by train.”
Hearing that his younger brother was asking for debt from him, Yuan Jia's already haggard face became even uglier.
"Don't ask me, I don't have any money either."
When he heard that there was no money, Yuan Wei suddenly became anxious.
"Sister, how come you have no money? My brother-in-law gives you and Yi'an a large amount of living expenses every year, and my company also gives you tens of thousands of dividends every year, how come you have no money.
Sister, I’m not urging you to pay back the money, but I really have no choice. I can’t live anymore! Sister, if you can’t come up with 20,000 yuan, you can give me 8,000 yuan first.”
Facing Yuan Wei's pleading, Yuan Jia could only close her eyes weakly.
Because she didn't know how to explain, all the money in her hand was lost to her son.
With what Shao Lin gave her, plus some of her own investments and dividends from the Yuan family, her annual income was no less than 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, but two-thirds of this money was spent by her son's squandering and getting into trouble.
Already.
Third update~
Thank you for everyone's monthly votes in the past two days. Lao Qi is very grateful.
Tomorrow is the National Day. I wish you all a happy holiday. I also wish our grandmothers prosperity and peace and prosperity.
Tomorrow Lao Qi will go back to the countryside for the holidays, so the update may be a bit late.
