Chapter 100: The Beginning
Upon hearing her mother’s words, Yiyi directly looked at her niece and said, "Shanshan, do you like papa or mama better?"
"Mama."
Mo Shan answered without even thinking.
Seeing her daughter like this, Mo Xiaohong’s eyes glistened with tears; her daughter was truly on her side.
"Then do you prefer living with us or with grandma and them?"
This time Mo Shan continued to answer without any hesitation, "With you guys."
Hearing Shanshan’s decisive words, Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh, then turned to Mo Xiaohong and said, "Sister, even though Shanshan is still young, she actually understands everything, so you don’t need to worry because of her. Otherwise, the Jiang Family will only seize this excuse even more harshly."
Mo Xiaohong couldn’t help but hug her daughter, her face full of smiles, "Yes, Shanshan now carries the Mo surname, with no relation to the Jiang Family at all."
Having figured this out, Mo Xiaohong completely relaxed.
Ding Yuejun saw the atmosphere getting better and hurriedly said, "Let’s not worry about all this mess, I’ll go serve the dishes now, let’s eat quickly."
After the meal, Ding Yuejun went to the Jiang Family to thank Old Mrs. Jiang for her righteous words.
"Oh, this isn’t any act of righteousness, I was just speaking the truth. If that old woman comes again, I’ll surely run over and scold her; she’s too shameless."
"Regardless, I still have to thank you, ma’am."
Upon hearing Ding Yuejun’s words, Old Mrs. Jiang smiled and then couldn’t help but warn, "Yuejun, you all have daughters, you must be careful in the future. Today, it was that old woman who came over; in the future, someone else from their family might come over. You have to protect yourselves."
"Don’t worry, ma’am, we’ll be careful."
Seeing this, Old Mrs. Jiang didn’t say much more, but she was determined in her heart to keep an eye on Yiyi’s family in the future, so they wouldn’t be bullied.
On the other side, Zeng Jiahe also heard about this matter and came over to check on them the next day.
"Xiaohong, are you guys okay? I heard your ex-husband’s family came over causing trouble."
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaohong glanced at Zeng Jiahe and said, "Don’t worry, we’re all fine, and besides, I’ve already divorced Jiang Huirong, no matter how much they fuss, it doesn’t matter."
Zeng Jiahe still felt a bit worried.
"That day on the road, we also ran into your ex-husband. He kept entangling you, clearly trying to reconcile with you. This time he sent his mother over, who knows, next time it might be their whole family."
Hearing Zeng Jiahe’s words, Yiyi immediately frowned, "Sister, you ran into Jiang Huirong last time? Why didn’t you mention it?"
"It wasn’t anything important, so I didn’t tell you all."
Yiyi was full of disapproval, "Sister, it seems like Jiang Huirong really hasn’t given up, you need to be more careful next time."
Seeing Yiyi’s seriousness, Mo Xiaohong nodded directly and said, "Alright, I’ll be more careful next time."
Seeing Mo Xiaohong took his advice, Zeng Jiahe breathed a sigh of relief, then brought up another reason for his visit.
"Xiaohong, my mom wants to invite you over for dinner; are you free tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaohong was stunned for a moment before quickly shaking her head, "I’m not free tomorrow."
Zeng Jiahe felt a bit wronged.
"But aren’t you off tomorrow?"
Mo Xiaohong immediately replied, "I still need to take care of Shanshan, so I’m really not free."
"Xiaohong, my mom said to bring Shanshan too, so both of you can come over for dinner tomorrow," Zeng Jiahe quickly added.
This time, before Mo Xiaohong could say anything, Shanshan was already clapping her hands and saying happily, "Sure, sure, tomorrow we’ll go to Uncle Zeng’s house for dinner."
Hearing her daughter’s words, Mo Xiaohong quickly pulled her aside and said, "Shanshan, it’s fine if we stay at home tomorrow."
However, Zeng Jiahe picked Shanshan up and said, "Shanshan, Uncle will prepare lots of delicious food, and you can eat whatever you want then."
"Sure, sure."
Hearing this, Shanshan clapped her little hands happily, and the two started talking to each other on their own.
Seeing this, Mo Xiaohong felt a bit helpless.
Ding Yuejun pulled Mo Xiaohong aside and whispered in her ear, "Since Jiahe invited you, you should go with Shanshan and visit his parents. After all, Jiahe saved your life last time, you should go and thank him."
Hearing these words, Mo Xiaohong didn’t say anything more and nodded in agreement with Zeng Jiahe.
Seeing Mo Xiaohong agree, Zeng Jiahe was overjoyed and stayed a while longer to play with Shanshan before reluctantly leaving.
The next morning, Zeng Jiahe came over bright and early to pick up Mo Xiaohong and her daughter.
Ding Yuejun watched them leave with a smile on her face.
Yiyi was still busy with Yang Liu’s matters, so after a brief chat with Ding Yuejun, she returned to her room to think.
The following Saturday, Yiyi and Fei Erya went to the Yang Family again.
The one who opened the door for them was Fang Cheng. At that moment, Fang Cheng’s eyes lit up when he saw Yiyi, "Yiyi, you’re here, come in quickly."
After Yiyi and Fei Erya were seated, Fang Cheng hurriedly took out a bag of items and handed it to Yiyi, "The herbs are all ready; when can you start making the medicine?"
Opening the wooden box, Yiyi found it was indeed filled with the herbs she needed; she looked at Fang Cheng in surprise, "You were really fast. In that case, I’ll start making the antidote tomorrow."
Hearing this, Fang Cheng was extremely excited.
"Great, if you need anything else, just let me know."
Yiyi had no other requirements.
"No, we want to visit Teacher Yang now."
Hearing this, Fang Cheng naturally didn’t say more and turned to lead Yiyi and Fei Erya inside.
At that moment, Yang Liu was lying on the bed with a gentle expression, looking better than ever.
Seeing Yang Liu like this, Yiyi finally felt relieved.
If Yang Liu wasn’t in good spirits, she wouldn’t be able to withstand the effects of the medicine, but now that she’s better, things became much easier.
"Teacher, since you’re okay, Erya and I will head back first."
Thinking that Yiyi might be busy, Yang Liu didn’t keep them long, and Fang Cheng escorted them to the door.
Yiyi indeed returned home to study the herbs. Once she became familiar with them and understood their properties, she finally went to sleep peacefully.
The next morning, Yiyi headed to the pharmacy alone, and Mo Ping was a bit surprised to see her.
Yiyi briefly explained and went straight to the compounding room.
The antidote was very complex. Yiyi worked from morning until night and finally succeeded in making two pills.
