Chapter 193: Xiao Hong Is Pregnant
Old Mrs. Jiang was suddenly a bit disappointed with her daughter-in-law. Although she was somewhat biased towards her grandson, she truly liked Ding Yuejun and her daughter. She had never thought of taking back the house to stop renting it to them. However, Shen Jiahui went ahead and said a lot of nonsense, and now they don’t even have to be neighbors anymore.
When Mr. Jiang learned about this, he was also displeased with his daughter-in-law, but since it had already happened, there wasn’t much left to say.
"Perhaps it’s just that our destiny with Yiyi and them wasn’t strong enough." The old man couldn’t help but sigh.
Meanwhile, Yiyi’s home was bustling with excitement.
Mo Xiaohong brought her daughter Shanshan and Zeng Jiahe to congratulate Yiyi.
"Yiyi, congratulations! You’re going to be a college student now."
Seeing Mo Xiaohong’s family come over, Yiyi was also very happy. "Thank you, sister."
But Ding Yuejun was a bit puzzled. When Zeng Jiahe went outside, she couldn’t help but ask, "Xiao Hong, why did you come only now? When Yiyi was taking her college entrance exam, you already started asking about it and said you’d come early, but you only came today."
Mentioning this, Mo Xiaohong’s eyes were filled with joy, and she whispered, "Mom, I’m pregnant."
"Ah... you’re expecting."
Realizing this, Ding Yuejun was very happy. "Really? How many months? Oh dear, why are you still standing? Sit down quickly."
Even Yiyi was a bit surprised.
"Sister, when did this happen?"
Mo Xiaohong said apologetically, "It was during Yiyi’s college entrance exam period when I found out. Jiahe’s family takes it very seriously and advised me not to tell anyone in the first three months. I haven’t been working for a month now. It was only today, after the first three months, that they let me go out."
"You really need to take care. It wasn’t easy for you to get pregnant this time."
Ding Yuejun was also very anxious and pulled Mo Xiaohong to sit down, not letting her get up. "Did your mother-in-law say anything? How are you getting on at home these days?"
Speaking of her mother-in-law, Mo Xiaohong couldn’t help but shake her head.
"Don’t mention it. When I first found out I was pregnant, they even suspected I was cheating on Jiahe. But Jiahe stood by me, and we went to the hospital together. The doctor said we were lucky to conceive a child. After the doctor’s reassurance, my mother-in-law finally believed me, and later told me to be extra careful."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun was a bit angry.
"Why didn’t you tell the family about this?"
Seeing Ding Yuejun’s anger, Mo Xiaohong quickly said, "At that time, it was a crucial moment for Yiyi’s college entrance exam. I didn’t want to affect Yiyi because of my issues, so I didn’t say anything. Later on, I worried about the first trimester being unstable, so I didn’t come over."
"Alright, alright, since it’s all in the past, I won’t say more. But you must take good care of yourself; this pregnancy didn’t come easy. I’ll make some nourishing dishes for you later, and you have to eat more."
Hearing this, Mo Xiaohong smiled and nodded.
Since Mo Xiaohong was there today, Ding Yuejun went ahead and discussed her plans to accompany her daughter to Shangjing.
"Xiao Hong, after Yiyi goes to college, I’ll also go to Shangjing for a while. I’ll come back during the holidays, but don’t worry, even if Yiyi is in school, I will still visit you and Shanshan frequently. When you’re due to give birth, we’ll definitely be there."
Mo Xiaohong had no objections to this, of course.
"Mom, it indeed makes people uneasy with Yiyi going out alone. You don’t have to worry about me. Jiahe takes good care of me, I don’t have to worry about anything."
Hearing this, Ding Yuejun felt at ease. "That’s good. Jiahe is indeed a good person; your future days will surely be great."
Mo Xiaohong was all smiles, her eyes filled with tenderness. She truly felt lucky to have met Zeng Jiahe again.
When it was time for lunch, Ding Yuejun prepared a table full of dishes, with several specially made for Mo Xiaohong. During the meal, Zeng Jiahe constantly looked after Mo Xiaohong but didn’t neglect Shanshan, occasionally picking food for her.
Seeing Zeng Jiahe like this, Ding Yuejun felt even more reassured.
Mo Xiaohong’s family returned after dinner, and Yiyi and her mother, who had been busy all day, went to bed early to rest.
The next day, Ding Yuejun went directly to the newly rented clothing store on the street.
"Suxin, are you getting used to living here?"
Since the courtyard couldn’t be rented, Yin Suxin could only stay in the back courtyard of this shop, which was much smaller than the previous place.
Hearing this, Yin Suxin smiled and said, "Don’t worry, Madam. I’m doing just fine. I slept soundly until daylight. But since we’ve moved to a new place, we should find a chance to inform our old customers so they don’t come in vain if they want to have clothes made again."
Hearing this, Ding Yuejun nodded and said, "Yes, we should inform them one by one. I’ll find the information of those old customers first, then we’ll figure out a way to notify them."
Meanwhile, Yiyi went straight to the medicine shop.
When Mo Ping saw Yiyi coming, he quickly greeted her, "Little boss, there’s a big business opportunity. Should we take it or not?"
Hearing this, Yiyi looked at Mo Ping with curiosity and asked, "What big business?"
"Someone wants to order a whole bottle of Rongzhi Pills, but I didn’t dare to agree right away. Although I don’t know all the ingredients in the medicine pills, I know just one pill costs three thousand, so the ingredients must be very precious. I’m not sure how many you can make, little boss." Mo Ping was excited but also worried about Yiyi’s stock, making him truly feel conflicted.
Yiyi didn’t expect someone would want to order the Rongzhi Pills.
"Are they serious about ordering a whole bottle?"
A whole bottle contains ten pills, meaning it would cost thirty thousand yuan, which is a significant amount of money in this era.
"Yes, it’s true, and they said they’d come again today."
Just as Mo Ping finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.
"Could it be? Speak of the devil. I’ll go see if it’s that person from yesterday." After saying this, Mo Ping went to open the door and then turned back to Yiyi, "Little boss, it’s indeed that person from yesterday."
By now, the person had already walked into the medicine shop, and Yiyi could see clearly, "It’s you."
Xie Yuanzhou was also surprised to see Yiyi. He looked at Yiyi, then at Mo Ping, and said, "So you’re the boss he mentioned."
"Yes, it’s me."
Seeing Yiyi confirm, Xie Yuanzhou directly asked, "Can I order a bottle of Rongzhi Pills?"
Yiyi didn’t hesitate and said, "Of course you can."
"Then... how about two bottles?"
Thinking about the effects of the Rongzhi Pills, Xie Yuanzhou thought the more, the better.
This time Yiyi immediately refused, "One bottle is already the limit; the ingredients for Rongzhi Pills are hard to come by, and there’s not enough to make a second bottle."
