Reborn in the 80s: She Rewrites Life with Radiance-Chapter 71: Sending the Box
Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Sending the Box
The next morning, after Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law Gu sent Gu Hui and Gu Min to school.
"Hong Mei, you head to the store first, I need to go to the department store."
"Sister-in-law, why go to the department store so early?"
Second Sister-in-law found it odd. Sister-in-law always went to the store on time, afraid of anyone waiting to open the door.
"Yiyi is going to B City, right? She’s going to stay there for a while, so she’ll definitely need to take a lot of things with her. I thought I’d buy a suitcase with a lock for her, so it’s easy to carry and prevents theft. If I buy it early and bring it to her, she can use it later."
"You’re so considerate, Sister-in-law. Let me go with you. We can open the store first and have Xiao Liu watch it by herself for a bit, okay?"
Second Sister-in-law thought it would be good to see what she could buy for Gu Yi, so she suggested it to Sister-in-law.
"Sure, let’s open the store and go early and come back early."
With that, the two of them headed directly to the store.
When Xiao Liu arrived, they greeted her.
Sister-in-law and the others then went to the department store.
After looking around, they found the suitcase to be the most practical.
Finally, Sister-in-law bought a big one.
"I’ll just buy this small one, so she can carry some valuables. It’s quite convenient too."
Second Sister-in-law picked a beautiful little suitcase and bought some snacks.
The two of them carried the suitcases to find Gu Yi. freeweɓnøvel~com
When they arrived, Gu Yi was not home, and the courtyard door was locked.
"Yiyi is probably helping at Ye Qian’s store. You keep watch over the things here, I’ll go find her."
Sister-in-law put the suitcase at the gate and headed to Ye Qian’s store.
Luckily, when Ye Qian’s store opened, the entire Gu family was there, so Sister-in-law knew where it was.
"Sister-in-law, what brings you here?"
Gu Yi was packing a cake for a customer when she saw Sister-in-law coming in from the doorway.
"I came to find you. Can you leave now? Your second sister-in-law is waiting for you at the house gate."
Sister-in-law quickly asked when she saw Gu Yi, and greeted the Ye Family’s parents and Ye Qian.
"Yiyi, go home with your sister-in-law. The rest of us can handle it here."
Ye’s mother, hearing Sister-in-law’s words and knowing Second Sister-in-law was waiting, realized they must have something for Gu Yi. She had been against Gu Yi coming here in the first place. Gu Yi was leaving today, and needed her rest.
"Then, Mom and Dad, I’ll head back for a bit."
Gu Yi said, while taking off her apron, and left with Sister-in-law.
"Have you packed everything? How come you’re not resting at home? You have a long train ride overnight."
Sister-in-law knew Gu Yi couldn’t sit still but couldn’t help being a bit angry. The Ye Family was aware that Gu Yi was leaving tonight, yet they asked her to help at the store. She wouldn’t be well-rested and would suffer on the train.
"Sister-in-law, it was my idea to come. My mother-in-law tried to stop me this morning, but you know my temperament; she couldn’t stop me."
Gu Yi knew her sister-in-law cared for her and likely felt some resentment towards the Ye Family. She held her sister-in-law’s arm and explained.
Sister-in-law, seeing her like this, couldn’t help but smile.
"Alright, you’re going to B City soon, be sure to take care of yourself. Even if this world lacks someone, it still goes on."
"I know, it’s just that I can’t sleep at home, so I thought of coming here. By the way, why did you and Second Sister-in-law come over now? Is someone watching the store?"
Gu Yi just realized that at this time, her sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law should be doing business at the store. Why did they come to her?
"Xiao Liu is watching the store. Since you’ll be staying in B City for a while, your second sister-in-law and I thought you’d need to bring a lot of things, so we bought you two suitcase with locks. It can hold things securely and can be locked, making your journey safer."
Sister-in-law explained why they came to Gu Yi.
As they chatted, they reached the gate.
"Second Sister-in-law, we’re back."
Gu Yi shouted to her second sister-in-law immediately.
She also saw the two suitcases on the ground.
"They’re so beautiful. You both are so good to me. I wanted to buy something like this but thought I was leaving soon, so I didn’t bother. Thank you."
Gu Yi was really pleased and quickly thanked them.
"As long as you like them. We figured you liked pretty things, so your second sister-in-law and I went around the department store to pick the two best-looking ones."
Seeing that Gu Yi truly liked them, Sister-in-law was happy.
Second Sister-in-law chimed in, agreeing.
"Come on in, there’s still time. Let me pack everything in them."
Gu Yi opened the door and invited her sisters-in-law inside.
"Great, your second sister-in-law and I can give you a hand."
Gu Yi poured them each a glass of water.
"Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, please have some water while I reorganize my things."
Gu Yi took the suitcases to her room, ready to transfer her belongings into them.
She was still using the suitcase she bought in B City, which didn’t have a lock. She also had a large blue canvas bag, which was fully packed.
Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law went in too, helping her reorganize her things.
The three worked quickly and before long, everything was reorganized.
"Make sure to rest well at home. You’re traveling alone tonight, so don’t sleep too deeply. Gather your energy now, and it won’t be so tough tonight. I’m heading back to the store with your second sister-in-law. Your big brother said he’ll come with your second brother to see you off to the station tonight, so we’ll be back then."
Sister-in-law helped organize everything and noticed the time was getting late, worrying that Xiao Liu might not handle the store alone. She reminded Gu Yi to rest.
"Yiyi, listen to your sister-in-law and get some sleep. We’ll head back now."
Though Second Sister-in-law had a lot to say to Gu Yi, she agreed with Sister-in-law that Gu Yi needed rest, and it wasn’t good to be out together so long.
After a bit more chatting, Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law left.
As soon as Gu Yi closed the courtyard gate, she heard the phone ringing in the living room.
Gu Yi looked at the time; it was only a little past ten. Who could be calling now?
"Hello?"
"Yiyi, it’s me, Ye Hao."
"How come you have time to call now?"
"Taking a break from training. I thought I’d try my luck to see if you were home. Your train’s tonight, right?"
"Yes, it is."
"Travel safely on your own. Is Yitian picking you up when you arrive?"
"Yes, it’s all set. Don’t worry."
"Alright, Yiyi."
"Hmm?"
"I miss you."
Gu Yi’s heart felt sweet.
"Hmm!"
"Just hmm?"
"What else then?"
Gu Yi teased him on purpose.
"Alright, I have to get back to training now. I’ll owe you this time, but when we meet, I’ll make up for it with interest. Be safe, I have to go."
Gu Yi heard a whistle on Ye Hao’s end, probably hurrying him back to training. He hung up before she could reply.
Holding the receiver, Gu Yi stood by the table, contemplating Ye Hao’s "I miss you," and she couldn’t help but smile.
