After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!
Chapter 605 - 605 Persuading Her to Go Up the Mountain605 Persuading Her to Go Up the Mountain
“How about this? When grandfather comes back, I’ll get him to bring you guys into the mountains to look for it. There’s indeed no more ginseng at home. If the heavens favor you, you might be able to find it!” Qiao Mei said.
They did not want to wait for the old master to come back. If Qiao Qiang came back, he would only beat them up with a big stick and would not let them stay for so long.
Being at their wits’ end, they did not believe that Qiao Mei really did not have any ginseng left.
“You also know how your grandfather treats us. He won’t bring us along. What kind of ginseng do you have now?” Liang Lan probed.
“Didn’t I just say that I don’t have anything,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
The Liang siblings definitely did not believe her. They had even seen Qiao Qiang stewing a big goose with ginseng roots last night. Could it be that he had only dug up ginseng roots!
“Then can you persuade your grandfather to go into the mountains to look for ginseng? Or do you know how to dig for ginseng? Why don’t you give it a try?” Liang Guo said anxiously.
They had the cheek to say such things in order to achieve their goal. Currently, Qiao Qiang wanted Qiao Mei to take good care during her pregnancy, so he did not even let Qiao Mei do any heavy duty and tiring work at home. Li Gui, Zhang Wei, Zhang Chao and Zhang Qin would all come and help her with the farm work.
If Qiao Mei wanted to go out, Zhao Liang would come and pick her up with his three-wheeled vehicle. Auntie Dong would also bring Qiao Mei nutritious food from her house and also pass Qiao Mei some of her children’s old things to see if she could use them.
Other villagers brought her children’s clothes that they had made themselves, and a few even made a patchwork quilt for her children.
Except for Qiao Zhuang’s family, the entire village hoped that Qiao Mei would be healthy and well and to give birth to two healthy children. At a time like this, the Liang siblings actually wanted her to go into the mountains to dig for ginseng!
They even said that they were her biological uncle and aunt! Pfft! They were not half as considerate as the neighbors in the village!
“I don’t know how. Only grandfather knows how to do it,” Qiao Mei said.
“You know your grandfather’s temper. If we can persuade him, he would have brought us into the mountains long ago. You’re the one he likes the most. If you talk to him, he’ll definitely agree,” Liang Lan said.
“I can’t persuade my grandfather either. Why don’t you stay here for a few more days? If my grandfather is in a good mood and goes up the mountain one of these days, he might be able to dig up a few ginsengs,” Qiao Mei said as she slowly touched her stomach.
In a few more days, their jobs in the capital would probably be gone! This matter could not wait anymore! They must get it today!
“Qiao Mei, don’t blame aunt for being ruthless. Either you give us a 100-year-old ginseng and we leave now, or don’t blame us for turning our backs on you,” Liang Lan said fiercely.
Qiao Mei sighed slowly. They finally could not keep up with the act anymore. If they had done so earlier, they would not have needed to waste so much effort.
“So what if you do, so what if you don’t? Is there any loss to me?” Qiao Mei said indifferently.
It would be great if they turned their backs on her! There would be a lot less trouble in the future! She would not have to keep worrying about the Liang family implicating the Xia family.
Looking at Qiao Mei’s current state, Qiao Qiang probably did not know what had happened in the capital.
“You! I guess your grandfather doesn’t know about what happened to you in the capital. If your grandfather finds out that the Xia family didn’t protect you well, won’t he be angry?” Liang Lan said.
“I’d advise you not to focus your scheme on my grandfather. Who do you think you are!” Qiao Mei said as she glared at Liang Lan viciously.
It seemed that they wanted to do it the hard way! Not only did they have designs on her children, but they also did not want to let her grandfather off.
“Although your grandfather’s health has improved a lot, he is still quite weak. What if he gets agitated and faints?” Liang Lan said.
Qiao Mei was not afraid of Liang Lan’s threat. She just did not want Qiao Qiang to hear these things from others, as she was worried that her grandfather would be angry with her and Xia Zhe.
Even if Qiao Qiang knew that the He family had tried to harm Qiao Mei’s children, now that Qiao Mei was standing in front of him unharmed, any unpleasant thing that had happened was already in the past.
Just as Qiao Mei was thinking about how to resolve this matter, Qiao Qiang returned from outside.
“Father! Why are you back!” Liang Guo shouted as he looked at Qiao Qiang in shock.
At this moment, Liang Lan was so frightened that she almost fell on the ground. She did not know how much of what they said had been overheard by Qiao Qiang and when he returned.
