The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Renting a House

Yiyi nodded directly upon hearing this, and said, ”Yes, I know a little bit, but I’m not particularly skilled. I can only make some medicine pills and understand some basic medical principles.”

Hearing this, Old Mrs. Jiang couldn’t help saying, ”That’s already very impressive.”

But Grandpa Jiang was astonished and asked, ”Could it be that the Lingzhi pill I just took was made by you?”

”Yes.”

Yiyi did not deny it and nodded directly, as she hoped to use her abilities more in the future and naturally wanted more people to know about her skills.

Seeing Yiyi nod, Grandpa Jiang was full of praise, ”Yiyi, you’re really amazing. That Lingzhi pill was the best I’ve ever had.” Although he had fainted just now, the aftertaste lingered in his mouth, and he could discern the quality of the pill just by smacking his lips; it was definitely a top-quality pill.

Old Mrs. Jiang looked surprised upon hearing her husband’s words.

To know that the old man had tasted too many pills, for him to say it’s the best, the pill must be very precious. This made her even more kindly towards Yiyi.

”Yiyi, we’re almost there; let’s go in and have a look later.”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi chuckled and nodded, ”Okay.”

But when she saw Old Mrs. Jiang take out keys to open the iron gate, she finally realized, ”Grandma Jiang, this... is this house yours?”

”Yes.”

After opening the iron gate, Old Mrs. Jiang turned to look at Yiyi and said, ”This courtyard has been vacant all along. It just so happens you want to rent a house, so you might as well have it. Grandpa Jiang and I live just in the building next door.”

Yiyi looked towards the next door and indeed saw a smaller courtyard.

”Yiyi, let’s go in and have a look first. Although this house has been empty, I come over every now and then to tidy up, so it’s quite clean. We’ll have a look upstairs and downstairs, and if you’re satisfied, you can move in today.” Old Mrs. Jiang truly liked Yiyi, the young girl, so she enthusiastically introduced the place.

Standing on the balcony upstairs, Yiyi looked at the charming scenery below and was very satisfied with the courtyard. However, she still needed to consider the rent, as even though she and her mother had some money now, money was ultimately not that long-lasting. ”Grandma Jiang, how much is the rent for this courtyard per month?”

”Not expensive, not expensive. You just pay thirty-five yuan a month.”

Hearing this price, Yiyi shook her head and said, ”Grandma Jiang, this rent is too low. We wouldn’t feel comfortable living here, so you should charge the actual rent.” Nowadays, even a small apartment costs fifty yuan a month. Such a large courtyard for only thirty-five yuan made Yiyi feel quite embarrassed.

”Oh, you child, you’re actually complaining the rent is too low.”

Hearing Yiyi’s words, Old Mrs. Jiang was a bit helpless.

And Grandpa Jiang, seeing Yiyi’s expression, couldn’t help but suggest from the side, ”In that case, let it be fifty yuan a month. It can’t be any higher. Yiyi, if you want to rent it, then rent it. If you still find it inappropriate, you can look at other places.” They wanted to help but couldn’t let the young girl’s original budget be exceeded.

Hearing fifty yuan a month, Yiyi didn’t say more, only saying, ”Then thank you, Grandpa and Grandma Jiang. I’ll go back and tell my mom this good news. We can move in tonight.”

Seeing Yiyi so decisive, Old Mrs. Jiang directly laughed.

”Alright, we’ll wait for you to come over. To welcome you, let’s have dinner at our house tonight to get acquainted.”

”Okay, then I’ll trouble Grandma Jiang.”

Yiyi didn’t refuse, smiling and nodding in agreement. In the end, she also prepaid three months’ rent, ”Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang, I’ll head back first. I’ll come over with my mom and the others later.”

”Okay.”

Watching Yiyi’s departing figure, Old Mrs. Jiang couldn’t help but sigh, ”What a wonderful young girl, clean and tidy in her actions, and knows her place well.”

Beside her, Grandpa Jiang nodded in agreement, saying, ”Yes, she is indeed a very good young girl, and her pharmaceutical skills are excellent. I wonder if Yiyi has any plans to sell medicine. If she wants to sell medicine, we’re sure to stock it in our store.”

”You, always thinking about medicine. I think we should go to the hospital first. You seem okay now, but it’s better to have a proper check-up.”

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jiang waved his hand, saying, ”No need. I know my body best, and there’s nothing wrong at all.”

”Nonsense, you must go this time. Last time, our son asked you to visit a big hospital, and you refused. Now look, fainting in the street. This time, no matter what, you must go.” As Old Mrs. Jiang spoke, she directly pulled Grandpa Jiang to leave.

Seeing his wife’s resolute expression, Grandpa Jiang couldn’t defy her and obediently went to the hospital with her.

On the other side, Yiyi happily headed back, planning to have her mother quickly return the room and then bring Shanshan to this courtyard.

However, halfway there, Yiyi saw two familiar figures: Mr. Mo and Old Mrs. Mo.

Seeing these two, Yiyi stopped walking, stepped back to the corner, and seeing that the two hadn’t noticed her, she continued to watch them directly and finally decided to follow them for a while.

But before long, a smile appeared on Yiyi’s lips. It turned out the two elders of the Mo family were heading to East Street. They probably knew about Qian Yafen opening a store, and when she saw them staring at Qian’s from a distance, Yiyi became more certain of this.

Compared to Yiyi’s good mood, Old Mrs. Mo was currently furious.

”Old man, look, isn’t that Yafen’s sister-in-law working busily inside?”

Although Mr. Mo was old, his eyesight was good. He recognized right away that the busy middle-aged woman was indeed his younger son’s sister-in-law, Wang Xiaomei.

”It’s indeed Yafen’s sister-in-law.”

”Alright... so it’s all true. Yafen is opening a store with her family and earning money to build a house for them. She’s completely favoring her own family over us! No, I must go back and ask her properly if she still remembers she’s the Mo family’s daughter-in-law.”

Mr. Mo was also very angry about this, so he didn’t refute Old Mrs. Mo’s words, ”Let’s go back now.”

”No, I want to eat at that Qian’s. I want to see if Yafen’s sister-in-law dares to face me.” After saying this, Old Mrs. Mo marched forward aggressively.

Mr. Mo couldn’t stop his wife and could only follow her over.

Seeing this, Yiyi felt even happier and hummed a little tune all the way back to the inn.
