Chapter 54: Hope
Embroidering with One Hand
He pointed in a direction. “The bottled water is over there. You can deliver it according to the address on the label.”
“I’ll remind you, if you get into an accident while delivering, I won’t compensate you. If you mess up my business, you’ll have to pay!”
Hope had no objections. “There’s a vehicle for delivery, right?”
Jimmy gestured with his chin towards the three–wheeled bicycle by the door. “That bike is yours to use, just don’t break it.”
Hope nodded and started working.

Is Hope out of her mind? She caraoronly use Iher left hand, how is she supposeded to carry water? How is she even going to tridede the tricycle?]
[Dailly question: when will Hope get kickeked off the show? She’s so malicious! Fans wavant Noah to be their tutor, and she has no righght to nitpick. Iks she just jealous that others rarare doing well?]
[She’s not just malicious, she’s crazy. She’s’s actually going to do delivery work! A waterer bottle weighs thirty kilograms, can she evenen lift it with her left hand?]
[If she can lift it, I pee standing on my head.]
As soon as this comment appeared, Hopese lifted a water bottle with cone hand and placed it on the tricycle. Then, she carried d

three more, fully loading the tricycle, before riding off.
The chat was momentarily quiet before it exploded.
[Why is she doing this so effortlessly? There’s no way there’s actual water in those bottles!]
[The packaging hasn’t even been opened, so it must be water… She’s so strong, she lifted four water bottles onto the tricycle without breaking a sweat.]
[I’m starting to suspect that last time Noah didn’t help Hope with her luggage on purpose. Maybe Noah really couldn’t lift it!]
[She can even ride a tricycle… does anyone understand? A tricycle is way harder to ride than a bicycle!]

[But her right hand is injured, how is she riding it?]
[The shop owner is stunned! Didn’t expect Hope to actually deliver water!]
Hope got on the tricycle and first pedaled a few steps to get the feel of riding it.
When she was in the village, she often used a tricycle to help the villagers plant things. The village tricycles were much worse than this, and the roads were much rougher.
The rice she carried was much heavier than the water bottles.
She had done every kind of tough job since she was little just to survive, which made her stronger than most people.

So, carrying bottled water was no big deal for her!
Hope pedaled the tricycle, following the address on the water bottle. She wasn’t very familiar with the roads, so she went slowly, practically crawling along.
She was looking for the house number while pedaling the tricycle.
The cameraman was able to easily keep up.
Soon, Hope found the house she was looking for.
It was a low building. A woman in her forties or fifties, dressed simply, opened the door with a smile.
Seeing that the water delivery person was a little girl with an injured hand, she was a bit

shocked.
“That old man Jimmy, he actually sent a girl to deliver water?”
Hope lifted the water. “I can do it, it’s no problem!”
“No, no, you’ve hurt one of your hands, this is too hard for you.”
The woman said, trying to take the water bottle from Hope, but Hope carried it inside.
“Where should I put the water?”
She entered the living room, where two women, who had been busy with embroidery, looked up at Hope.
“Wow, a little girl delivering water?”

“Who knows what Jimmy is up to now.”
“Little girl, you shouldn’t be doing this. After you’re done, don’t deliver water anymore. Jimmy is no good.”
“I can’t do that, I need to make some money” Hope said, putting the water bottle in the
corner.
The women finally noticed that Hope was followed by a cameraman, and they probably guessed who she was.
One of them couldn’t help but ask, “Little girl, did your show tell you to deliver water?”
If so, she would definitely spread the word not to watch the show. How could they let an injured little girl deliver water?
“No, I couldn’t find another part–time job, so I

just took this one.”
Hope bit her lip, looking down with red eyes but trying to act upbeat.
Her appearance made the three women’s hearts ache with motherly love.
“Oh my, why don’t you come work for us instead? You don’t have to do much, just serve us tea, water, and wipe the sweat.”
Sometimes when they were busy with embroidery, they didn’t have time to drink water or wipe sweat.
“Yes, come work with us. We may not be able to pay you a lot, but it’s better than delivering water!”
They made a good amount from their embroidery work.

Seeing how pitiful the little girl was, they didn’t mind helping.
Hope had been waiting for this offer!
“Actually, I can also do embroidery. Do you have any embroidery work for me?”
Serving tea and water wasn’t enough to catch her interest.
The woman who had opened the door was a bit surprised. “What? You can do embroidery?”
“A little. I’m the only one in my family, so I’ve done all the sewing myself. To survive, I’ve also done embroidery part–time.”
She had learned everything from the villagers, practically picking up all the skills

in the village.
To practice acupuncture, she even learned embroidery from an elderly lady in the village. That lady was a descendant of a royal embroiderer and had incredible skills.
“But your hand…”
“It’s fine. I can embroider with my left hand.”
“Alright, try it out!”
The woman found a piece of fabric and helped Hope thread the needle.
Hope began stitching with her left hand. Single–handed embroidery wasn’t difficult for
her.
Embroidery was different from acupuncture. Acupuncture required precise force, but
10/13

embroidery required technique and skill.
And Hope was already prepared. Her real goal for this part–time job was embroidery!
Half an hour later, a simple
butterfly–chasing–rabbit embroidery was
completed.
[I thought Hope was just bragging, but she really can embroider! This rabbit is so cute, it looks like it’s being chased by a butterfly.]
[She’s so fast and it looks so good, my eyes are dizzy just watching.]
[If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe that Hope, the girl who can carry water with one hand, can also embroider with one hand!]
[I have no resistance to our country’s

traditional arts, I’m about to become a fan!]
[What else can Hope do that we don’t know about? She can massage, do acupuncture, ride a tricycle with one hand, carry water with one hand, and now she can embroider with one hand!]
Not only were the netizens shocked by Hope’s embroidery, but the three women were also wide–eyed in amazement.
“Little girl, you’re amazing!”
“Where did you learn embroidery? You’re even better than us!”
“You’re so good with your left hand, imagine how amazing you’d be with your right hand!”
The three women were in awe, holding Hope’s embroidery and admiring it.
