Chapter 1526 Coming to Ask for Medicine
Qiao Mei had already given Zhao Fei countless chances. It was a known fact that he was unable to control those people in his family. However, he was also unable to completely sever ties with that family.
As for the Zhao family… the heavens would punish the evildoers. Qiao Mei would settle the score with them when the time was right. It was not the right time to attack them now. There were still a lot of seeds in their hands. Once the next batch of seeds matured, she would destroy them.
The factory’s business slowly got on track. Even if Qiao Mei was not at the factory, it did not affect the operations much. Han Chen still caused trouble for Qian’e from time to time. As long as he did not do anything overboard, Qiao Mei did not intervene. She believed that Qian’e could handle all the issues in the factory.
At the beginning of July, the weather gradually became warmer. Qiao Mei started to plant grapes in the courtyard again. Every day, Xia Zhe would buy her a big watermelon and chill it in the well water. It came out colder than if they had put it in the fridge!
“Don’t eat so much! It’s too cooling for the body and not good for your stomach!” Xia Zhe reminded her.
“Then how about I just eat another piece?” Qiao Mei asked as she looked at Xia Zhe pleadingly.
Xia Zhe really could not say no to Qiao Mei when she looked at him that way, so he took out a piece of watermelon from the basin and handed it to Qiao Mei. He reminded himself to further train his self-control and not let this little girl bully him so unconscionably all the time.
“By the way, you have been confirmed as a military spouse. I will be stationed at the camp for a long time soon. Do you want to come with me?” Xia Zhe asked.
“Let me think about it. I hear from Sister Feng that the children will start crawling around in another month or so. By then, there must always be someone around to keep an eye on them!” Qiao Mei said worriedly.
In any case, it was still early and they could discuss it slowly. There was no hurry to decide what to do next.
“Knock, knock, knock…” There was someone knocking on the door. Qiao Mei checked the date and knew who it was even without needing to open the door.
“Qiao Mei! Open the door! It’s me!” Liang Lan shouted from outside the door.
“Do you want me to open the door?” Xia Zhe lowered his head and asked Qiao Mei.
“Wait a moment. I’ll open the door and meet her.” Qiao Mei returned to the study, took a bottle of medicinal wine and put it in her pocket. With Xia Zhe by her side, she went to the main door and opened it.
“Xia Zhe, you’re at home too…” Liang Lan said sheepishly.
“You’re here to ask for the medicine again? Hasn’t your mother gotten better?” Qiao Mei questioned.
“No, she’s still the same,” Liang Lan said with an awkward smile.
Xia Zhe also knew a little about this matter. Liang Shu was only suffering from a stroke and it was not something too serious. He had heard from Qiao Mei that Qiao Qiang even recovered from his gastrointestinal ulcers after drinking the green ginseng juice. In that case, how could the medicine have no effect on a case of stroke?
Qiao Mei kept feeling that there was something fishy going on. She had to go and take a look for herself.
“Let’s go. I’ll go and take a look at her.” After saying that, Qiao Mei called for the family chauffeur and Xia Zhe also went along.
Liang Lan was so happy that she clapped her hands. People may not know that Qiao Mei was the Xia family’s daughter-in-law, but everyone knew who Xia Zhe was. If Xia Zhe was seen going in and out of the Liang family’s house, it could only be beneficial to their family!
When they arrived at the Liang family’s old house, the courtyard was dank and lifeless. Although it was already the month of July, it looked like it was winter in the courtyard.
As soon as they pushed open Liang Shu’s room door, a stench wafted out. It was not a strong smell, but enough to make one feel nauseous. Once Liang Shu saw Qiao Mei, she started to curse loudly, but it was the same as before. She could not speak clearly, but judging from her expression, she must be saying something nasty.
Liang Lan quickly wheeled her into the room next door and told her not to disturb Qiao Mei and her husband.
“As you can see, my mother is still the same…” Liang Lan said sadly.
Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe looked at each other. Xia Zhe had previously used the green medicine to help his comrades recover from serious injuries on the battlefield. Liang Shu definitely did not look like someone who had drunk the medicine.
Qiao Mei had already given the Liang family a total of three bottles of medicine. Liang Shu had been given three-quarters of the first bottle and half of the second bottle. By the third bottle, she did not even get a sip. At this rate, she would be paralyzed for the rest of her life!
“So? Are you asking me to continue giving your family the medicine? I’ve already given your family three bottles. This is an amount that no one else can even dream of,” Qiao Mei said sternly.
