Mo Ping quietly waited at the door, faithfully keeping guard as per Yiyi’s orders.
At this mont, Yiyi was fully absorbed in making dicine pills, ignoring everything around her, until the sun set and she finally erged from the pharmacy room.
"You finally ca out."
Seeing Yiyi, Mo Ping couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, "If you stayed inside any longer, I would have gone in myself." He genuinely hadn’t expected making dicine pills to take so much ti—almost an entire day.
Yiyi simply smiled.
"Making dicine pills is a ti-consuming task. Only spending this little ti today is actually quite smooth."
Mo Ping couldn’t help but say, "It seems making dicine pills is quite exhausting."
"It surely is not easy." Yiyi nodded upon hearing this, then looked at Mo Ping and said, "It’s already so late, let’s go out for a casual al. But first, put away these dicine pills, we’ll start selling them tomorrow." As she spoke, she handed Mo Ping a bag filled with bottles.
Mo Ping hurriedly took the bag and looked at the white porcelain bottles inside, asking, "Then... what’s a suitable price for these dicine pills?"
"Five bucks for a bottle."
"What... five bucks..."
Hearing the price Yiyi ntioned, Mo Ping was shocked, his eyes widening, "Isn’t five bucks per bottle too expensive?"
"We’ll sell them for five bucks, not a penny less."
Yiyi’s expression was resolute, having already made up her mind, "We can sell fewer, but the price must not be compromised."
Seeing Yiyi’s determined look, Mo Ping didn’t argue further and simply said, "Alright, then I’ll sell them at your stated price."
After the two went out for a simple al, Yiyi returned ho, while Mo Ping headed back to the small courtyard.
"Yiyi, you finally returned. How’s the store coming along? I insisted we should go help out, but you didn’t want us to. Opening a store isn’t easy, even if we can’t do much, at the very least we could help clean up." Ding Yuejun said, holding her daughter’s hand as she spoke.
Upon hearing her mother’s words, seeing the curiosity and anticipation in her eyes, Yiyi nodded and said, "Okay, we’ll go together tomorrow, it’s just right for the opening."
"Child, how co you didn’t tell us earlier that the opening is tomorrow? We could have prepared sothing."
Ding Yuejun imdiately beca anxious and rushed to the kitchen.
Seeing her mother quickly head to the kitchen, Yiyi found it a bit strange. As her mother started taking things out, she beca even more puzzled, "Mom, what are you doing?" She saw Ding Yuejun holding various fruits and pastries.
"Since the opening is tomorrow, we obviously need to choose an auspicious ti to celebrate."
Ding Yuejun spoke without lifting her head, continuing to check the items, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying: "Luckily, I bought quite a few things today, tomorrow I’ll just need to buy so at."
Seeing her mother’s concern, Yiyi felt a bit sheepish, "I should have told you all earlier."
"Yeah, telling us early would have helped us prepare sooner."
Ding Yuejun gave her daughter a loving glance, her expression full of affection, "But it’s still tily now. Your sister will be back soon, she’s off tomorrow, so we’ll all go to your shop together."
"Alright."
Yiyi said with a smile.
The next day, the three won, along with Mo Shan, set off for the small courtyard. By the ti they arrived, Mo Ping had just opened the shop door and was slightly surprised to see Yiyi and her family, "Oh, you ca so early."
Ding Yuejun had heard about Mo Ping before and seeing him now, she had a gentle smile on her face, "Yes, we ca early to celebrate the shop opening, let’s go inside and arrange everything."
Mo Ping quickly stepped aside, letting Yiyi and her family enter.
Familiar with such matters, Ding Yuejun skillfully arranged all the items, lit incense candles, and once everything was done, joined Yiyi in taking a closer look at the shop.
"This place is quite nice, the environnt is good."
Yiyi smiled and said, "Right? I think it’s pretty good too."
Mo Xiaohong glanced around, frowning slightly, "The environnt is nice, but are you sure people will co to buy things here?"
"Sister, don’t worry. Once the dicine pills beco well-known, people will co to buy them."
Seeing Yiyi’s confidence, Mo Xiaohong didn’t say much more.
anwhile, Mo Shan was excitedly looking around, filled with curiosity about everything.
However, on the opening day, business was sowhat slow, and no one ca.
Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but feel a bit worried, "Yiyi, no one’s coming, it seems business is really tough."
Mo Xiaohong was also a bit anxious. Now, all their expenses in town required money. Although their mother, Ding Yuejun, had started making money, the monthly rent and daily expenses were quite high. Even the rent for this small courtyard wasn’t cheap. If business didn’t pick up, they’d be losing money.
Yiyi showed no concern, smiling at her mother and sister, "Mom, Sister, have you been looking in the mirror lately? Do you notice any changes?"
Before Ding Yuejun and Mo Xiaohong could respond, Mo Ping spoke up first.
"You’re all more beautiful than before. When you three go out, people who’ve seen you before won’t even recognize you." If he didn’t know today was Yiyi’s mother and sister, he wouldn’t have believed the two were Ding Yuejun and Mo Xiaohong. Both had beco fairer, and their complexion improved; they had beco gradually plumper, significantly different from before.
Hearing this from Mo Ping, both Ding Yuejun and Mo Xiaohong were taken aback, finally feeling a bit embarrassed at the complints.
Yiyi just laughed.
"Mom, Sister, now you’ve seen it. Eating the dicine I prepared made you fairer and more beautiful. So you don’t need to worry about no one buying them. Every woman desires beauty, so really, there’s no need to worry."
With this, Ding Yuejun and Mo Xiaohong had nothing further to say.
"Alright, Mom, Sister, let’s go have lunch outside and co back in the afternoon." Yiyi suggested everyone go for a al.
Mo Ping quickly said, "Go ahead, I’ll stay here and watch the shop, just in case soone cos to buy sothing."
"No need, no one’s co by yet, we’ll all go eat together." Yiyi was quite carefree, inviting Mo Ping along.
Mo Ping kept his focus on his duty.
"No, no, you go ahead, if there’s anything left, bring so back for ."
Seeing Mo Ping insist, Yiyi didn’t argue, taking her mother and family to a nearby restaurant.
"Yiyi, this Mo Ping really is quite considerate." Ding Yuejun had a better impression of Mo Ping.
