When Su Xingran woke up the next day, it was already bright outside. The seat next to her was empty; Gu Moli had already gotten up. Su Xingran got up, stretched her arms and legs, changed her clothes, and prepared to go out to wash up.
The door to the room was pushed open from the outside, and Gu Moli walked in. Seeing that Su Xingran was awake, Gu Moli walked to her side. "Ranran, you're awake. I've gone downstairs to make breakfast. I've prepared hot water for you and put it in the bathroom. After you've washed up, we'll go downstairs for breakfast."
Hearing Gu Moli's words, Su Xingran realized that her family hadn't returned home yet. "Moli, why don't you go downstairs and have breakfast first? I'll go downstairs after I've washed up."
Gu Moli insisted on waiting for Su Xingran to come downstairs together, and Su Xingran complied. After washing up, the two went downstairs together to have breakfast. Gu Moli had Su Xingran sit on a stool while he went to the kitchen to get breakfast.
Su Xingran looked at the lean meat porridge, steamed buns, and eggs on the table. She asked Gu Moli with some curiosity, "Moli, did you make all of this yourself?"
Gu Moli smiled and said, "I cooked the porridge. I went out to buy lean meat this morning, and I also bought the steamed buns. The eggs were from the house, so I just boiled them. Ranran, eat more and make sure you're full. Mom just called back. She and Dad went to buy things to take back to Grandpa, Second Grandpa, and the village chief. Their train is this afternoon, and Uncle has already arranged the train tickets."
Considering the current situation, Gu Moli continued, "We haven't done our homecoming yet, so we won't go to my uncle's house for now. Let's go to the train station to see them off!"
After breakfast, Su Xingran returned to her room. She remembered the things her parents had given her, and the box her master had given her—she still wanted to open it. Sitting in front of her dressing table, Su Xingran opened the things her parents had given her. Inside was a money book and a few small gold ornaments.
Su Xingran opened the money book and saw the amount inside. She roughly knew that her parents had put all the betrothal gifts and the money she had given them over the years into it, and then used it all as her dowry. As for the small gold ornaments, they were probably left to her parents by her great-grandfather and others.
Su Xingran couldn't describe the feelings in her heart. In both her past and present lives, her parents had selflessly sacrificed for her. She didn't know what other people's parents were like, but she knew that her parents were devoted to their children.
After looking at the things her parents had given her, Su Xingran opened the box her master had given her. Inside were the land deed for the pharmacy and a certificate of inheritance. The land deed had changed its owner from Huang Zhenhua to Su Xingran. The pharmacy itself was still owned by Huang Zhenhua, since Su Xingran was a doctor and couldn't open a pharmacy outside of her profession.
There is a notarized inheritance document stating that Su Xingran is entitled to inherit the business rights of the pharmacy after Huang Zhenhua's death. If the pharmacy is not continued to operate, the land belongs to Su Xingran.
Su Xingran had heard her master say that the pharmacy was only nominally state-owned; in reality, it belonged to her master. Once the state-owned label was removed, it would be entirely privately owned.
When her master told her that she would inherit the pharmacy, Su Xingran assumed it meant she would continue to run it. She never expected that her master would give her the land deed for the entire pharmacy.
These documents were clearly light, but Su Xingran felt they weighed a ton in her hands. She asked herself what she had done to deserve such sacrifice from her master. Like her eldest brother and sister-in-law, her second brother and sister-in-law, they had allowed someone with no blood relation to them to inherit what originally belonged to them.
When Gu Moli walked in, he saw Su Xingran standing there, holding something in her hand, looking stunned. Gu Moli walked over worriedly and asked, "Ranran, what's wrong?"
Su Xingran didn't speak, but simply handed over the documents in her hand. Gu Moli took the documents and read them. After reading them, he understood why Su Xingran was stunned.
Gu Moli wrapped his arms around Su Xingran's waist from behind and said, "Ranran, don't think too much about it. Your uncle has his own reasons for doing this. Both Taihe and Taizhou have children. If you don't want to take over the pharmacy, you can give it to your uncle's descendants later. Your uncle didn't say that it couldn't be returned, right?"
