Chapter 209: The Bid Is Set
After Yu Qiulan entered the room, she greeted the two elders and then directly asked, "Mom, I heard Tingyu brought a girl to visit you today?"
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Gu nodded and said, "Yes, Tingyu brought Yiyi over today. The two kids really make a great pair."
Yu Qiulan frowned upon hearing this.
"What’s Tingyu doing? How could he casually bring a girl to meet you two? We don’t even know about the girl’s family situation or her character, it’s too reckless of him."
Old Mrs. Gu’s face darkened when her eldest daughter-in-law spoke like this.
"Qiulan, what do you mean by that? Yiyi is a very good girl. Tingyu likes her, and she likes Tingyu. That’s the most precious thing."
Seeing the old lady so biased towards Mo Yiyi, Yu Qiulan’s face also turned a bit unpleasant, "Mom, you’ve only met her once, how can you be sure of her character? Yunfang is different; we’ve practically watched her grow up. Yunfang and Tingyu are the perfect match."
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Gu’s face showed a look of realization.
"So you prefer the Shu Family girl. But have you considered if Tingyu really liked the Shu Family girl, how could he have waited until now? If they wanted to be together, they would have been by now. So don’t fret over it; I think Yiyi is great. Besides, Tingyu has already given Yiyi the bracelet representing the Gu Family’s eldest daughter-in-law, and it fits her perfectly, which means she is the future eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu Family."
"What..."
Hearing this, Yu Qiulan was full of surprise and then said with annoyance, "I shouldn’t have given the bracelet to Tingyu so early."
"It’s good you gave it to Tingyu early; otherwise, it would have just been sitting there unused."
Old Mrs. Gu had always harbored some resentment towards her eldest daughter-in-law because Yu Qiulan couldn’t even wear the Gu Family’s heirloom bracelet back then, but now that Yiyi can wear it, she was naturally very pleased.
Upon hearing her mother-in-law’s words, Yu Qiulan’s face turned red.
The bracelet looked big enough, but she just couldn’t wear it. Because of this, she had often been teased by her younger sister-in-law, Ying Cai Xin. Now that a random girl Tingyu brought home could wear it, her feelings became even more complicated.
Seeing her eldest daughter-in-law remain silent, Old Mrs. Gu’s mood worsened, "Alright, don’t meddle in this matter anymore. Tingyu finally found someone he likes; don’t go messing up their relationship."
At this moment, Mr. Gu, who had remained silent, nodded and said, "Yes, Yiyi is a good kid and a good match for Tingyu. When you have time, you should meet her too. It’s getting late; you should head back early."
Hearing even her father-in-law say this, Yu Qiulan was filled with amazement.
This meant that even Mr. Gu acknowledged the girl. Could she really be that good?
After Yu Qiulan left, Old Mrs. Gu couldn’t help but shake her head and said, "The eldest daughter-in-law doesn’t consider Tingyu’s feelings at all. Tingyu doesn’t even like Shu Yunfang, yet she still wants to match them up. Isn’t it because she’s interested in Shu Yunfang’s maternal Ding Family?"
Mr. Gu also shook his head with some disappointment but finally said, "Alright, what’s the point of saying this now? Anyway, we all think Yiyi is good. Let’s have Yaohua meet Yiyi too. Since we respected Yaohua’s choice back then, he should respect Tingyu’s choice now."
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Gu nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, we didn’t oppose Yaohua marrying Yu Qiulan back then, so now they shouldn’t oppose Yiyi either."
On the other side, Yiyi naturally didn’t know what was happening with the two elders. She had a comfortable sleep and the next day went to the East Suburb with Mo Ping and Guo Ming.
"Boss, this is the place. Old Guo said it’s great for building a factory. Although it’s a bit remote, it’s spacious and the environment is serene, so it’s perfect for a factory."
Yiyi was also satisfied with the place, but if they were to build a factory directly, she didn’t have enough money on hand.
Seeing Yiyi furrow her brow, Guo Ming couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong? Do you not like this place? If not, Mo Ping and I can keep looking for other places."
"Master, the place is nice, it’s just that... I don’t have enough money right now, so I’ll have to rent a factory for now."
Hearing this, Guo Ming directly asked, "How much are you short?"
"I have about fifty thousand on hand."
Guo Ming immediately said, "Can you still refine the Rongzhi Pill now?"
"Yes."
"Then that’s fine. You can make two or three bottles, and I’ll sell them for you."
Hearing Guo Ming’s suggestion, Yiyi couldn’t help but say, "Master, can anyone really consume so many?" To know that one Rongzhi Pill costs three thousand, so even two bottles would cost six thousand.
"Don’t worry. The effect of the Rongzhi Pill is really good; there’s no worry about lacking buyers. I’m just afraid there won’t be enough."
Hearing this, Yiyi’s face was full of smiles, "That’s great. I’ll go back and start refining the Rongzhi Pill later."
Seeing that the issue could be resolved, Mo Ping also breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Let’s go pay a deposit and secure this land now."
"Alright, let’s handle the paperwork right now to avoid any unforeseen complications."
Guo Ming also agreed with Mo Ping’s idea, so the three immediately went to complete the formalities. Luckily, Yiyi brought all the money today, so they finally secured that small piece of land in the East Suburb.
"This is great; now we can directly build the factory."
Mo Ping held the land purchase contract with a face full of smiles.
Even Yiyi was a bit excited. They finally took the first step, and the pharmacy would surely develop gradually. The medicine pills from Wuming Pharmacy would be known by more and more people.
When Yiyi got home, she immediately began refining the Rongzhi Pill.
"Yiyi, you’ve finally come out. If you stayed in any longer, I’d have to come in and get you." Seeing her daughter come out of the room, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing her mother a bit worried, Yiyi said, "Mom, I was just refining some medicine pills, you really don’t need to worry."
"Have you finished refining now?"
"Yes."
Yiyi nodded with a smile. This time, she made five bottles of Rongzhi Pill. If her master could sell one more bottle, they would have more funds. However, besides Lingzhi, the other materials for refining the Rongzhi Pill were running low, so it seemed she needed to have Mo Ping contact some herb suppliers starting tomorrow.
After hearing this, Ding Yuejun quickly said, "Since you’ve finished refining, let’s quickly go eat. Your master and Mo Ping have already come over, but Er Ya has gone back to school since classes start tomorrow."
