Chapter 192: Speed
Seeing her mother agree, Yiyi said directly, "Mom, there’s no time to waste. Let’s quickly find Grandma Jiang to withdraw the rent, but first, we should look for another store location."
"Okay."
The mother and daughter quickly made a decision.
When they met Old Mrs. Jiang again, Ding Yuejun brought up the matter with her, "Aunt Jiang, starting next month, we will not be renting this courtyard anymore."
"What..."
Upon hearing Ding Yuejun’s words, Old Mrs. Jiang looked shocked, "You rented it perfectly fine, why suddenly not rent here anymore?"
"After all, this is a residential area, and having a clothing store here isn’t ideal, so I’ve found a shop on the street to open the clothing store there from now on." Ding Yuejun explained with a smile.
However, Old Mrs. Jiang was thinking broadly.
"Yue Jun, is it because Xueluo likes Yiyi that you plan to stop renting the house? Actually, you don’t need to do this."
Ding Yuejun smiled and said, "Aunt, that’s really not the reason. Recently, the clothing store’s business has improved, with more and more customers, and I don’t want to disturb the neighbors. That’s why I thought of moving the store to the street, and the street has more customers, which might improve business."
Upon hearing that, Old Mrs. Jiang couldn’t say much more, she couldn’t exactly stop people from doing business, could she?
"Oh... well, alright."
When Old Mrs. Jiang returned home, she sighed repeatedly, feeling somewhat downcast.
"What’s wrong, old lady? I see you’re sighing a lot, did something happen?"
Upon seeing her husband, Old Mrs. Jiang quickly recounted the matter about Yiyi and her mother planning to withdraw the rent.
Mr. Jiang was more understanding.
"If they want to withdraw, just let them withdraw."
"Old man, you speak too lightly! We used to have such a good relationship with Yue Jun, but now it feels like... both families are about to sever ties." Old Mrs. Jiang felt uncomfortable, her heart heavy.
"It’s because you were too eager, trying to match Xueluo and Yiyi, and now look, Yiyi already has someone she likes, not only did you waste effort, but also made them resentful."
Upon hearing her husband’s words, Old Mrs. Jiang was not happy.
"How were we supposed to know Yiyi liked someone else? Besides, Xueluo is so good, don’t most young girls like him? We didn’t do anything wrong, who knew things would turn out this way."
When speaking about her grandson, Old Mrs. Jiang still sided with him.
While the elderly were talking, Shen Jiahui came over, "Mom, what are you talking about? I think I heard you mentioning Xueluo."
Upon seeing her daughter-in-law, Old Mrs. Jiang decided not to say much, after all, her daughter-in-law cares a lot for her son, and continuing the conversation about Yiyi and her grandson might upset her, "It’s nothing, your dad and I are just chatting casually."
Upon hearing this from her mother-in-law, Shen Jiahui did not ask further, only saying, "Mom, later Xueluo will come over, we plan to have dinner here tonight."
"Alright."
Old Mrs. Jiang naturally nodded with a smile.
At dinner that night, Shen Jiahui couldn’t help but ask, "Mom, what’s the monthly rent for our courtyard?"
Upon hearing her daughter-in-law’s question, Old Mrs. Jiang asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"A relative of mine is looking to rent a house in town, so I thought of our courtyard."
Upon hearing that, Jiang Yanzu frowned and said directly, "That courtyard is already rented out, even if you want to help inquire, you should ask about other places."
"I..."
Shen Jiahui was somewhat irritated, she simply didn’t want her in-laws to continue renting the house to Ding Yuejun and her daughter.
Whenever she thought of her excellent son being disliked by others, she couldn’t stand it, after all, he was her cherished son since childhood, yet others looked down on him.
"If your relative really wants to rent, they can come over next month."
Old Mrs. Jiang shook her head and looked directly at her daughter-in-law.
"Grandma, what about Yiyi and her family? Since it’s already rented, there’s no logic in suddenly not renting it." Jiang Xueluo, who had been silent, couldn’t help but speak upon hearing Old Mrs. Jiang’s words.
Seeing her son still considering Yiyi and her family, Shen Jiahui couldn’t help but glare at him.
But Old Mrs. Jiang said directly, "Yue Jun and her family have already found a shop on the street, so starting next month, they won’t be renting it."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xueluo fell silent, quietly eating, not saying another word.
Seeing her son like this, Shen Jiahui felt even more frustrated, but since they had already withdrawn the rent, she had nothing more to say. Soon, her thoughts turned to the Huichun Hall in her family, "Dad, is the medicine hall still selling those whitening pills and Height Increasing Pills? Can the quality of the pills still be guaranteed after Yiyi goes to college?"
Mr. Jiang gave a deep look to his daughter-in-law, saying, "There’s no need for you to worry about the medicine hall."
Seeing her father-in-law’s expression, Shen Jiahui quickly closed her mouth.
Jiang Yanzu frowned, giving his wife a look, feeling that she has been acting a bit off recently, completely lacking her previous gentleness and kindness, "Say less."
Shen Jiahui opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing, the dinner passed in a somewhat silent atmosphere.
But by the next day, Ding Yuejun came over to return the keys.
"Yue Jun, didn’t you say by the end of the month? Why did you return the keys so quickly?"
Old Mrs. Jiang hurriedly pushed the keys back.
"Aunt, the shop we found is already renovated, we just need to move in, so we decided to end the lease early here."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Jiang couldn’t say much else, only responding, "Alright then."
Ding Yuejun said a few more things with Old Mrs. Jiang, then planned to leave, and unexpectedly saw Shen Jiahui walking towards her.
Shen Jiahui also saw Ding Yuejun, and said with a smirk, "Yue Jun, you’re here."
Ding Yuejun smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I’m here to return the keys."
"Didn’t you rent it until the end of the month? Why are you returning it so soon?" Shen Jiahui was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
"The shop on the street has been tidied up, so we’ll move over sooner. Besides, you were right when you mentioned last time, our clothing store here does disturb everyone." After saying this, Ding Yuejun left immediately.
Old Mrs. Jiang frowned and asked her daughter-in-law, "What did you say to Yue Jun last time? What did you mean by disturbing everyone, did you go to the clothing store and speak nonsense?" Now she understood that it was her daughter-in-law who went gossiping, no wonder Yiyi and her mother wanted to withdraw the rent.
"Mom, I didn’t say anything wrong, this place is for residential living, and their clothing store indeed impacts everyone."
"You..."
Seeing her daughter-in-law say this, Old Mrs. Jiang couldn’t help but sigh, shaking her head as she went back inside.
