Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Guilty Conscience
After Yiyi and Fei Erya left Yang Liu’s house, they went straight back to the clinic.
"Yiyi, it will be a few months before we see Teacher Yang again, and who knows when the admission letter will arrive." Although she was confident in herself, without actually seeing the admission letter, her heart was still a bit restless.
Hearing this from Fei Erya, Yiyi nodded and said, "Yes, at least two months before we meet again, and the admission letter should take some time, it won’t come so quickly."
"Yes, we can only wait."
Fei Erya sighed and then followed Yiyi into the pharmacy room to start working.
The two of them worked for another afternoon but only completed a fifth of the work. At this rate, it seemed they would be busy for the next few days.
Meanwhile, Mo Ping had already prepared dinner outside and called to Yiyi and Fei Erya, "Little boss, Erya, come over and eat something before heading back. I reckon the boss lady is also very busy and probably didn’t have time to prepare dinner for you."
Yiyi nodded upon hearing this.
Just then, Guo Ming also walked over, and when everyone was gathered, they sat down and had a meal together.
In the end, it was Mo Ping who spoke about recent events.
"We owe a lot to Master Guo this time. If it weren’t for him, our pills wouldn’t have been promoted so quickly. Surprisingly, Master Guo, who usually seems quiet and reserved, is quite intimidating when negotiating with people, keeping them in awe."
Yiyi was hearing about this for the first time, so she looked at Mo Ping with surprise and asked, "Really? Master Guo went with you at the time?"
"Of course, Master Guo is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Seeing me make multiple trips without success, he went with me, and things got sorted out once he stepped in."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi looked at Guo Ming in disbelief, and then sincerely said, "Master Guo, thank you."
Guo Ming coldly replied, "No need to thank me. Since I’m living here, I should also contribute."
Yiyi smiled at his words, knowing Guo Ming wasn’t much of a talker, so she said no more.
"Alright, little boss, it’s getting late. You and Erya should head back. Come again tomorrow; there’s still time before the next supply, so no need to rush."
Yiyi agreed and then went home with Fei Erya.
Just as they reached home, they ran into Ding Yuejun, who was also returning from the clothing store. The three exchanged smiles and went inside together.
"Yiyi, did you visit Teacher Yang’s house today?"
"Yes, and we bought some fruit." Yiyi nodded in response.
Fei Erya added from the side, "We said goodbye to Teacher Yang and Brother Fang properly and arranged to visit her once Yiyi and I are in Shangjing."
"That’s good."
Recently, all three have been busy, so after a brief chat, they each went to their rooms.
The next day, Yiyi took Fei Erya to the pharmacy, where they continued working together on making pills.
Thus, they worked for seven or eight days until they finally used up all the herbs for the whitening pills and Height Increasing Pills. They successfully made a batch of pills for Mo Ping to distribute to various pharmacies later.
"Little boss, these pills should last for a while, but I’m worried about what to do when you go to college. Do we have to move the pharmacy to Shangjing too?"
He knew Yiyi and Fei Erya’s college aspirations and naturally worried.
But by the end, Mo Ping’s eyes brightened up.
"Oh, why didn’t I think of this before? We can move our pharmacy to Shangjing! We could open a Wuming Pharmacy there, and I’m sure many people will buy our pills. The pills from Houshan Town can be supplied periodically. Isn’t that great, little boss? What do you think of this idea?"
Yiyi hadn’t thought about this aspect before, but hearing Mo Ping’s words now, she felt the idea seemed feasible.
"If that’s the case, plan it out well, but the factory construction will need to be postponed."
If they’re really moving the pharmacy to Shangjing, it’s best to build the factory there too.
"Yes, yes, the factory building will have to wait."
Mo Ping eagerly nodded in agreement, then said in disbelief, "Wow, are we going to be Shangjing people?"
While he spoke, Mo Ping laughed foolishly on the side, not imagining that someone like him could reach this point. If the people in the village knew his current situation, they would surely be envious and jealous.
But there wasn’t much to miss in that village. The only farewell worth saying if leaving would be to Lu Shuang.
"Little boss, I’ll start planning to see if we can really move the pharmacy to Shangjing." Mo Ping said happily as he went to make plans.
Seeing Mo Ping so happy, Yiyi shook her head with a smile and decided not to say more. Then she looked at Fei Erya and said, "Erya, we should head back too. We’ve been busy all day, and tomorrow we can finally rest."
"Okay."
Fei Erya nodded with a smile.
Having been busy for so long, she was exhausted. Although Yiyi made the pills, Fei Erya was the one processing the herbs, grinding and crushing them, and her arms were sore and barely usable.
When they got home, Ding Yuejun had just returned as well. The three were visibly tired, and after a quick wash, they went to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, Ding Yuejun got up early to make breakfast and then went to the clothing store.
Yiyi and Fei Erya could finally sleep in, getting up around nine.
"Yiyi, after breakfast, let’s go help at the clothing store."
She knew that Ding Yuejun had been busy with embroidery these days, and she and Yin Suxin at the clothing store wouldn’t eat properly. Although Yiyi and she might not be able to help much, they could at least cook a simple meal.
Yiyi meant to do the same, so after breakfast, they went to the food market and then directly to the clothing store.
"Yiyi, Erya, why are you here?"
When Ding Yuejun saw them coming, she stood up with a smile.
"Aunt Ding, Yiyi and I were idle at home, so we came over to make lunch for you and Aunt Yin."
Yin Suxin heard this and said with a smile, "That’s great, today we can finally have a hot meal for lunch."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi frowned and said to Ding Yuejun, "Mom, have you and Aunt Yin not been eating well these past days?"
Ding Yuejun felt a bit guilty and coughed, "We haven’t starved and eat well every meal."
