Qiao Mei knew that Xia Zhe already understood what she wanted.

“Let’s just pretend that we don’t know about those things. If we find them now, it will only attract unwanted attention. Besides, the Cao family might also be eyeing them,” Xia Zhe said after some thought.

Qiao Mei felt listless when she heard that, but after a while, she also thought that what Xia Zhe said made sense. After all, there was only a wall between them and the Cao family. It would not be a good thing for the Cao family to hear the sounds of them knocking the ground and digging into the earth. No one knew what would happen if any valuable items were found in the yard.

“Alright, don’t be sad. Come, let’s go and deliver wedding candy to the neighbors,” Xia Zhe said as he held Qiao Mei’s hand.

Qiao Mei nodded and went back to the room to change into a dark blue maternity dress. Yesterday, they had gone back to have a discussion with the Xia family. Since they had already held a banquet at Qiao Mei’s hometown earlier, they did not plan to hold another one here.

It was also a time of exceptional circumstances now, so they did not dare to make a big deal of the occasion. Qiao Mei even had to think twice even though she really wanted to wear red. Although every woman would want to have a nice wedding, Qiao Mei found herself liking the Xia family’s prudent attitude.

After all, during such turbulent times, it was very rare for a family to be able to make steady progress within the last ten years.

After dressing up nicely, Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei went knocking on the neighbors’ doors one by one to deliver the wedding candies, peanuts and melon seeds in a simple manner. They did this to inform the neighbors that they were already married.

The Xia family had a harmonious past few days, but it was different with the Cao family.

After the Cao family received the ginseng, the first thing they did was not to start moving out. Instead, they immediately took the ginseng and visited another very famous old Chinese doctor in the capital. They wanted to check if this ginseng was as good as what others said.

The old Chinese doctor examined the ginseng and said in surprise, “How did you manage to get this wild ginseng? This ginseng is simply fantastic!”

Cao Da remained silent, not knowing where to start. The more people who knew about this matter, the more dangerous the situation would be.

“Is there really no problem with this ginseng?” The Cao family’s eldest daughter-in-law tried to change the topic.

“There’s no problem with this ginseng. Just tell me the price. I want to have it,” said the old Chinese doctor as he looked at the couple from the Cao family.

“That won’t do. We still have a use for this,” Cao Da said.

He knew that the old Chinese doctor’s backer was the He family. If the doctor took this ginseng, he would definitely give it to the He family as a gift. The Cao family’s real intention was to give it to the He family themselves.

“We would like to give this ginseng to the third master of the He family, He Ning. Would it be convenient for you to introduce us?” said the Cao family’s eldest daughter-in-law.

When the old Chinese doctor heard this, he immediately understood what they wanted. This old Chinese doctor was He Ning’s personal doctor and helped to take care of his health.

There were three sons in the He family. The eldest son was He Guo, whose daughter was He Mei. The second son had died of illness when he was young. The third son of the He family was He Ning, who was also the largest shareholder in the family business. However, as the old saying went, the great had great hardship to contend with. Although He Ning was still young, he had been seriously ill for a long time.

It was difficult for the He family to have more children, so He Mei was currently the only heir to the He family fortune.

“Alright, then come with me,” the old Chinese doctor said.

The old Chinese doctor brought the couple from the Cao family to the third master, He Ning’s house. It was a villa with a medium-sized garden that was located in the suburbs.

They drove from the city to the suburbs and it was already dark when they reached. The area was so far that it was not even serviced by public buses, and the surrounding areas had always been occupied by businesses dealing in flowers, plants and fruits. It was a vast area with very few people and surrounded by farmland, so it was very quiet and the air quality was very good.

This was the best location for someone who was recuperating from illness.

The old Chinese doctor brought the couple from the Cao family to He Ning’s house. As soon as he opened the door, they could smell the strong scent of Chinese medicine mixed with the smell of medicinal cuisine.

The moment Cao Da entered, he saw He Ning sitting at the dining table and looking at four medicinal dishes without even lifting his chopsticks.

“Mr. He, this medicinal cuisine is good for your body. You should eat it,” said the old Chinese doctor.

“The medicine concoctions you prescribed are too bitter. How am I supposed to eat this?” He Ning complained.

“You must have heard of the saying that good medicine tastes bitter.” The old Chinese doctor tried to lighten the mood.

He Ning did not say anything. He knew that the old Chinese doctor was truly very skilled.
