The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl
Chapter 200: A Visit
With many hands, things get done quickly. Three days later, the courtyard was cleaned up, though there were still many things to purchase, so Yiyi took her mother and Fei Erya to the mall together.
"Yiyi, isn’t this too expensive? We just bought a house recently, we need to save a bit."
Ding Yuejun looked at the curtains in front of her, feeling that it was a bit pricey.
"Mom, since we will be living there for a long time, we should decorate it nicely. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to replace things later."
Hearing her daughter’s words, Ding Yuejun said nothing more.
The three of them picked out a lot of things and spent quite a bit of money, but when they saw the results two days later, Yiyi was quite satisfied. The courtyard finally looked livable. "Mom, once we tidy up the courtyard, it will surely be beautiful."
Although it pained her to spend money, seeing the clean and bright house, Ding Yuejun was very happy. Hearing her daughter’s words, she nodded with a smile, "Yes, we will take our time to fix it up."
As the conversation came to an end, Ding Yuejun suggested, "Before school starts, let’s visit your granduncles tomorrow. You can also visit your godparents."
"Okay."
Yiyi had no objections.
The next day, Ding Yuejun took Yiyi to the Chu family.
"Yue Jun, Yiyi, when did you arrive in Shangjing? You should have told us earlier, so we could have come to pick you up." Jiang Yizi greeted them warmly.
Ding Yuejun laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, we just arrived. Yiyi’s school is about to start, so we came."
"I haven’t properly congratulated Yiyi. It’s great that our family can see each other more often now."
Jiang Yizi already knew from previous calls that Yiyi got accepted to the Shangjing University of Chinese Medicine, and she was genuinely happy for her niece.
Mr. Chu was also very pleased to see Ding Yuejun and her daughter.
"Yue Jun, Yiyi, it’s great that you’re here. From now on, just stay with us at home."
Ding Yuejun laughed and said, "Yiyi will be staying at the university dorm, and I plan to open a shop. I might be at the shop most of the time, so I might not be able to accept your kind offer."
"Yue Jun, are you planning to open a clothing store in Shangjing too? There’s no need for that. You can just work at the Chu Family business."
Ding Yuejun hadn’t considered working at the Chu Family business as she wasn’t truly a member of the Chu family. So, she politely declined and quickly pointed to a screen, saying, "Uncle, I’ve finished embroidering the screen, please have a look."
The screen was something she and her daughter had brought over together.
Mr. Chu, hearing this, didn’t press the matter further and turned his attention to the screen.
Jiang Yizi quickly helped unfold the screen. Seeing the embroidery, she was full of admiration, "Yue Jun, your embroidery is beautiful. This screen is simply amazing."
Mr. Chu Zhang’s eyes shone with appreciation as he looked at the screen, "Good, good, it’s embroidered so well, truly amazing."
Seeing it, his eyes were filled with nostalgia.
"Yue Jun, you’ve fully inherited your mother’s skills. You truly have talent."
Upon hearing these words, nostalgia filled Ding Yuejun’s eyes, "I still have much to learn. If it were my mother, she would have done it even better. I used to wonder as a child how my mother could embroider those cheongsams so elegantly. I still have a lot to learn."
Hearing this, Mr. Chu Zhang nodded, "Yes, your mother was particularly good at making cheongsams. She loved doing that when she was young."
After reminiscing for a bit, they talked about Yiyi’s upcoming school enrollment.
"Yiyi is about to start school. Should I ask someone at the university to look after her?"
Hearing this, Yiyi quickly shook her head, "No need, Granduncle. I’ve already received the admission notice, and I can just report directly. I don’t want people thinking I’ve pulled strings."
Seeing Yiyi’s insistence, Mr. Chu Zhang did not press the matter further.
Jiang Yizi smiled and said, "Our Yiyi is very capable, so there’s no need for special arrangements. Her exam scores were so good that the school would be happy to have her."
Indeed, Yiyi’s exam scores were quite good, surpassing the cutoff for Shangjing University of Chinese Medicine by over twenty points, so the school would likely welcome a student like her.
"Alright then, but why not stay at our house tonight? Once school starts, it will be harder to meet."
Ding Yuejun quickly said, "Uncle, we won’t stay over. Actually, there’s one more thing to tell you, Yiyi and I bought a house in Shangjing, so we have a place to stay."
Hearing this, Jiang Yizi was shocked.
"Yue Jun, when did you buy it? Where is it located?"
Seeing Jiang Yizi’s curiosity, Ding Yuejun didn’t hide anything and replied, "We bought a courtyard house near Shichahai."
"Wow, you bought a courtyard house in Shichahai? That must have been expensive." Jiang Yizi was even more surprised, as she hadn’t expected Yiyi and her mother to afford a courtyard house.
Even Mr. Chu Zhang was quite surprised, "Yue Jun, do you have enough money? If not, you can take some from me."
"Uncle, we have enough. Thanks to Yiyi earning quite a bit earlier, we could afford a house in Shangjing."
Jiang Yizi was really curious about how Yiyi earned money, but she didn’t have the nerve to ask more.
Mr. Chu Zhang, however, praised her, "Yiyi, you really are amazing to earn so much money."
Even Yu Xiu and Yu Yang didn’t have such capabilities.
"Granduncle, I was lucky to encounter a wealthy client who bought many medicine pills from me, which is how I earned the money." As Yiyi spoke, she took out a bottle of Rongzhi Pill from her pocket and handed it to Mr. Chu Zhang, saying, "Granduncle, this is Rongzhi Pill I recently made. Take one when you feel unwell, it’s quite effective."
"Yiyi, so you made money selling medicine pills, but... is it really so lucrative?"
She had previously received the whitening pills from Yiyi and found them very effective, but she didn’t know if the pills were so pricey.
"Aunt, each Rongzhi Pill costs three thousand, so the profit is decent. I was just lucky to find the required herbs; otherwise, the profit wouldn’t be as high."
"What... one pill costs three thousand?"
Jiang Yizi’s eyes widened in disbelief, thinking that robbing wouldn’t be much different. But soon, she recalled the whitening pills she had taken before. "Yiyi, those pills you gave me before, are they also very expensive? Dear child, you should sell them rather than give them away for free. Next time, don’t feel obliged to give them to us."
