The founder of Yimintang was the old lady of the Sang family at the time, but... it was the old lady of the Sang family's daughter-in-law, Sheng Xinlan, who carried forward Yimintang.

Sheng Xinlan doesn't know anything about medicine, but she is a young lady from the Sheng family, which is more famous than the Sang family. The largest department store in Pingjiang City was owned by the Sheng family before liberation.

It is said that everyone in the Sheng family, regardless of gender, is a business expert, and Sheng Xinlan is one of them.

Madam Sang founded Yimintang with the initial intention of helping the poor, so medical consultations and medicines were free. Her starting point was good, but as time went on, other members of the Sang family had objections and were unwilling to continue spending money to support Yimintang.

After Sheng Xinlan married into the family, she resolutely took over Yimintang and turned the pharmacy business around in just one year.

Moreover, before taking over Yimintang, this legendary old lady had the entire clan sign a written agreement with her, giving Yimintang to her branch of the family. Regardless of whether they made money or lost money, no one else could interfere with Yimintang.

At the time, Yimintang was a bottomless pit that ate money. The other branches of the Sang family were eager for someone to take over this mess and never thought that Yimintang would make money. Naturally, they all signed and sealed the agreement.

After receiving the written agreement, Sheng Xinlan used her dowry to hire a famous doctor in the capital at a high price. She also boldly introduced Western doctors and sold both Chinese and Western medicines. The old lady Sang's general policy remained unchanged.

Poor people still receive free medical consultations, but medicine is charged at cost price. Those who really cannot afford it are exempted from the consultation, but the cost is deducted from Sheng Xinlan's private account instead of going through the public account.

Because the doctor Sheng Xinlan hired was highly skilled and charged low prices, many people came to see him. In less than a year, Yimintang made a remarkable turnaround and began to profit.

And quite a lot.

The other branches of the Sang family started to get envious and wanted to get a share of the profits, but Sheng Xinlan produced a written agreement, with black and white text and a red handprint, which slapped those branches in the face, and no one dared to mention the profit sharing again.

However, the old lady suffered a lot during those ten years. Ye Qingqing didn't know the specifics, but she could imagine that life must have been difficult.

The old lady had stomach surgery two months ago. According to her caregiver, it was mid-stage stomach cancer. The surgery was considered successful, and she is currently undergoing chemotherapy. The old lady is suffering so much that she can't even swallow water, but she is very strong and does not forget to exercise every day. Her body is gradually starting to recover.

"Qingqing's here... Didn't you sleep well last night? You have dark circles under your eyes." The old lady had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that Ye Qingqing was sleep-deprived.

She also liked this little girl very much, not only because Ye Qingqing's back view resembled her cousin, but also because she liked the little girl's bright and generous personality, which was very pleasant to look at.

"Grandma Sheng, you have such a sharp eye! I rolled an egg over it, and you still noticed."

Ye Qingqing gave her a thumbs up, and the old lady was very proud. She glanced at Lu Mo in the wheelchair. She found the young man quite pleasing to the eye, but it was a pity that his legs were not good. She heard that he had been injured on the battlefield. He was a good boy.

The young girl is a good child; she's loyal and devoted to her fiancé.

The two chatted for a while before parting ways. The old lady went home to rest, and Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo also went inside.

Lu Mo stole several glances at Ye Qingqing. No wonder the girl didn't look well. Why was she having trouble sleeping?

Did she also suffer from insomnia because of that kiss, just like him?

The embarrassing erotic dream from last night resurfaced in Lu Mo's mind, and his face flushed. He silently recited the Three Main Rules of Discipline and the Eight Points for Attention.
