6: Sell

Aunt Wang was the office director of this street, successful in her career and with a happy family.

Previously, the only thing that bothered her was that her son hadn't married, but those dissatisfactions disappeared last year because her son got married.

Recently, her daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter.

Aunt Wang was very happy; she didn't have any patriarchal thoughts, knowing that she could become an office director now precisely because of the idea that women hold up half the sky.

But now, the child had a problem: after the doctor examined her, he only said that the child's skin was extremely sensitive, turning red at the slightest touch.

He suggested using softer tissues or asking other families for their children's worn clothes to wipe her, and that this sensitive skin condition might improve as she grew older.

However, their family only bought high-end tissues from the Riyao Group, which were already the best tissues available.

Wiping once was fine, but if they wiped too much, the child's skin still couldn't handle it, and the child couldn't control her bowel movements, which made Aunt Wang very troubled.

Suddenly, she thought of the cards shop across from the academy.

They had a one-year-old child, so the clothes from when he was younger should still be kept.

Thinking of this, Aunt Wang took three or four eggs from her chicken coop, along with some recently bought peaches, and left her house.

In just a few steps, she reached her destination.

Seeing Xu Bai sitting inside the shop, Aunt Wang was a little surprised, because usually Xu Bai's father was minding the shop.

Later, recalling the report published on the bulletin board, she remembered that Xu Bai's parents had been killed by an exotic beast.

Encountering an exotic beast in the county town was actually quite rare, because there were protective cardss in the city that could repel low-level exotic beasts and block high-level exotic beasts.

This accident was caused by a butcher who smuggled one in among livestock.

He initially thought it was a low-level exotic beast and wanted to sell it illegally to make a profit, but it turned out to be a high-level exotic beast disguised as a low-level one.

On the way to the market, the exotic beast broke free, causing the deaths of 10 ordinary citizens and 2 law enforcement officers, and injuring 26 people.

Although the butcher's family was expelled from the city because of this, the dead cannot be brought back to life, and this punishment only served as a warning to others.

Alas, he is a child with a bitter fate, and he also has a one-year-old younger brother to raise.

I should look after these two brothers more from now on.

"Little Xu, have you eaten yet?

Can you give me two pieces of Lele's old clothes?

My granddaughter's skin is too delicate now; it turns red with just one wipe of a tissue, and I'm afraid I'll wipe it until it bleeds."

Hearing Aunt Wang's words, Xu Bai's face lit up with a smile; the calendar truly didn't deceive him, today was auspicious for acquiring wealth.

"Aunt Wang, yes, I've eaten.

I do have clothes, but I recommend you try our new cards.

Look, it's cloud soft tissue, very soft.

I have a sample here, you can feel it."

With that, Xu Bai pushed the nearby cloud soft tissue towards Aunt Wang, gesturing for her to pull out a sheet and feel it.

Aunt Wang casually pulled out a sheet of cloud soft tissue and paused as she felt it.

This tissue was truly soft; it felt just like a cloud, as its name suggested.

She gently tugged at it, and the tissue didn't tear; it was quite strong.

Compared to fabric, using tissues was indeed better, and there was no need to wash them, which was very convenient.

Not bad, not bad, Aunt Wang nodded with satisfaction.

"It's really good, Little Xu.

What's the price?"

"Aunt Wang, it's 85 for one cards, and each cards contains 10 packs, so one cards is 90 packs.

After accounting for recycling, it's equivalent to eighty cents a pack.

What do you think?"
