Chapter 211: Gu Tingting
In the next few days, Yiyi’s life was very routine: attending classes, eating, sleeping, and occasionally running a few laps on the track. The week’s courses ended quickly, ushering in the first weekend of university.
As soon as the weekend arrived, Yiyi quickly packed her things and went straight home.
Ding Yuejun saw her daughter returning, her face full of smiles, "Yiyi, you’re finally back, come in and rest, and I’ll cut some cantaloupe for you." As she spoke, she was already busy in the kitchen.
Seeing her mother’s happy face, Yiyi looked gentle and warm.
When Ding Yuejun came out with the fruit, she smiled and said, "Dinner will be ready soon, have a little first, and I’ll go call your master and Mo Ping."
"Mom, is Er Ya coming back this weekend?"
Speaking of Fei Erya, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but shake her head and said, "Er Ya is not coming back this weekend, she’s found a part-time job and has to work over the weekend."
Hearing this, Yiyi couldn’t help but frown slightly.
"Er Ya found a part-time job so quickly; is she worried about not having enough living expenses?"
Ding Yuejun nodded and said, "She probably is; otherwise, she wouldn’t have sought a part-time job so soon. Sigh... talking about Er Ya’s parents, I don’t know what to say." She knew a lot about the Fei family and always felt that Er Ya’s parents were a bit clueless, leaving such an excellent daughter like Er Ya to fend for herself.
"Er Ya’s father is much better now, but it’s good that Er Ya can be more independent."
Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but say, "He’s realized it way too late. Er Ya is his own daughter, and he’s only just now started to treat her well."
As they spoke, Mo Ping and Guo Ming arrived.
"Little boss, you’ve finally got a break."
Mo Ping was delighted to see Yiyi and immediately began talking about his plans.
Seeing Mo Ping’s well-organized arrangement, Yiyi nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It’s not hard at all; what’s a little hard work, really. The truly hardworking one is you, little boss, having to study and being busy refining medicine pills recently."
Guo Ming nodded in agreement on the side, saying, "Indeed, Yiyi has been working hard recently. However, all five bottles of Rongzhi Pill have been sold, and the factory in the East Suburb will soon be established, so the rest will be up to me and Mo Ping."
"Master, thank you for your hard work, you and Mo Ping."
"Come on, there’s no need for such formalities among us. Let’s sit down and eat." Guo Ming said, a slight smile curling at his lips.
Ding Yuejun also chimed in on the side, "Yeah, let’s sit down and have dinner."
After they finished eating, Yiyi asked her mother about the clothing store, "Mom, how’s the search for the shop going?"
"I’ve found two good ones, but the rent is not exactly cheap."
As her daughter was preparing to build a factory, she hoped to save some money.
Upon hearing this, Yiyi quickly said, "Mom, if you’ve found a good one, just rent it; don’t worry about the rent. Master said all five bottles of Rongzhi Pill have been sold, so we’re still quite well-off."
"That’s right; building the factory won’t cost too much, and there’s demand for the Rongzhi Pill. As long as Yiyi manages to refine them, they’ll sell." Guo Ming added from the side.
Mo Ping couldn’t help but be a bit surprised.
"There are so many rich people in Shangjing! Back in Houshan Town, we could hardly sell any, with the only big order being from Xie Yuanzhou, who seems to be from Shangjing too." Mo Ping hadn’t expected so many people to buy such expensive Rongzhi Pills.
Guo Ming glanced at him and said, "That’s because the Rongzhi Pills really work."
Mo Ping fell silent, suddenly feeling very confident about their future pharmaceutical factory and medicine shop.
After Guo Ming and Mo Ping left, Yiyi talked to her mother, planning to accompany her the next day to see the two shops on the street.
"Alright, we’ll go together tomorrow."
The next day, Yiyi went to the street with her mother.
"Mom, this shop is really nice, I think it’s better than the last one."
Hearing this, Ding Yuejun smiled and said, "I think so too, but the rent for this one is higher, so I’ve been hesitating."
"Mom, since we both like it, don’t hesitate any longer, let’s take this one."
Yiyi directly made the decision for her mother, pulling her along to finalize things with the landlord.
"Mom, have someone come and do some renovations, then you can open the shop."
Looking at the shop in front of her, Ding Yuejun smiled and nodded, deciding she should work hard from today so that they have enough samples by the time the shop opens.
"Yiyi, I remember you said you’re visiting Grandpa and Grandma Tingyu today; you should go soon so as not to keep them waiting."
Remembering her promise to Old Mrs. Gu, Yiyi nodded and said, "Mom, I’ll head over there right now."
"Okay, go on."
When Yiyi arrived at the Gu family, the guards recognized her and let her in directly.
Old Mrs. Gu was very happy to see Yiyi, "Yiyi, you’re finally here. I thought you wouldn’t come today."
"Grandma, since I said I would come, I will definitely be here." As she spoke, she set down the things she brought.
Seeing the seasonal fruits Yiyi brought, Old Mrs. Gu remarked, "Yiyi, it’s enough that you’re here; why bring gifts? Don’t be so formal next time." As she spoke, she quickly asked Sister in law Wang to cut the fruit.
"Your grandpa isn’t here today, it’s just me at home, so it’s nice you can come and chat with me."
Yiyi nodded and smiled upon hearing this.
However, as they were talking, they heard the door open again from outside, "Grandma, I’m here to see you."
Seeing the visitor, Old Mrs. Gu beamed, "Tingting, what brings you here today? Come and have a seat."
Yiyi curiously looked at the young girl who entered. She was about the same age as her, with a tall figure and a delicate appearance, resembling Gu Tingyu somewhat.
As Yiyi observed her, the girl across also studied Yiyi, then turned to Old Mrs. Gu and asked, "Grandma, who’s she?"
"Tingting, let me introduce you. This is your future sister-in-law, Mo Yiyi, Tingyu’s girlfriend."
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingting immediately frowned, "When did Brother Tingyu get a girlfriend? I didn’t know."
Old Mrs. Gu, on hearing this, gave Gu Tingting a stern glance and said, "Does your brother need to notify you when he finds someone? Next time you see Yiyi, remember to call her sister-in-law."
"They’re not even married yet, still calling her sister-in-law." Gu Tingting couldn’t help but mutter, her face showing some impatience.
Seeing her granddaughter’s demeanor, Old Mrs. Gu’s face immediately darkened, "Gu Tingting, what’s with your attitude? If you’re unwilling to be here, you can just go home. With that sour face, who are you showing it to?" Old Mrs. Gu spoke sternly, her previous fondness upon seeing her granddaughter now completely gone.
