After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 2195: Ask for Ginseng
"I'm fine, but if Eldest Brother hadn't protected , I might really have been injured," Qiao i said.
"I should have gone with both of you today! The next ti I see them, I must teach them a lesson! We can't let this matter go just like that!" Xia He said angrily.
Qiao i held Xia He's hand and said, "Eldest Brother told them that we don't want to see them again. Let's leave this matter at that for now. Third Uncle's wedding is more important."
Xu Lan and Xia He still felt very frustrated. The two of them complained for a long ti and only felt better after criticizing the Zhou family harshly. Xia Bai and Wang Kun happened to overhear their conversation.
"No wonder I only see Third Uncle and not his children! It turns out that there's so much dirty business going on in Elder Granduncle's family. His grandsons are even in jail!" Xia Bai said mockingly.
"I thought that Elder Granduncle is very strict with his family and that such things will never happen. It seems that they have been putting on an act all this while. Their true colors will eventually be revealed," Wang Kun said.
"Let's wait a little longer and find a chance to teach Qiao i a lesson! Since she will not invest in us!" Xia Bai said.
"We can't let your second sister's family know about this. Her family are all fools! They may tell others about our plans!" Wang Kun said.
"Why should we tell her family about how to get rich! Are you muddle-headed!" Xia Bai said disdainfully.
The day after the reunion festival, Bian Ke and ng Yuan were invited to Qiao i's villa. ng Yuan did not spend the reunion festival with the Xia family. He had returned to his hotown to pay respects to his ancestors. ng Yuan had decided to move his parents' graves to the capital so that he could visit them anyti.
ng Yuan brought many gifts with him to Qiao i's villa. Qiao i took a look at the items and noted that most of them were specialties from ng Yuan's hotown. Bian Ke did not contribute to the gifts at all. She felt sorry for her silly younger brother to be dating such a person.
"Bian Ke, co and take a seat. I haven't seen you for a few days and you seem to have beco even prettier!" Xu Lan said happily.
Bian Ke did not like Qiao i's siheyuan courtyard house. She thought that only the Xia family would treat such an old house like a treasure! The He family's house was so much more beautiful. She was going to be the lady of that house one day!
However, this villa had changed her impression of Qiao i. He Ning probably would not be able to afford such a big house even if he sold off his company.
"Auntie, you flatter . It's just that I've been sleeping better recently," Bian Ke said politely.
Qiao i put down so fruits on the coffee table. The mont she sat down, Bian Ke looked at her and asked, "Third Sister-in-law, you must still have so 100-year-old ginsengs, right?"
Everyone was stunned to hear her say that. Then again, Xia Zheng and the others also knew about this and it was not really a secret. Qiao i sized up Bian Ke. It turned out that this girl was just pretending to be a docile little lamb the day before yesterday. The arrogant and domineering Bian Ke in front of her was her real self.
"No," Qiao i said expressionlessly.
"It's not easy to get ginseng nowadays! Bian Ke, why do you need ginseng?" Xu Lan asked.
"My grandfather is old and not in good health. I hear that Third Sister-in-law has ginseng that can prolong life, so I want to get one for my grandfather," Bian Ke said aggrievedly with tears in her eyes. She looked so pitiful that anyone who saw her would feel sorry for her. However, Qiao i did not believe what Bian Ke said. The Bian family and the Xia family were not familiar with each other. It was Xu Lan's friend who introduced Bian Ke to ng Yuan. The Xia family had always said that the ginseng belonged to the Xia family, so how did she know that the ginseng actually ca from Qiao i?
"I don't have any 100-year-old ginseng, but I still have a 30-year-old wild ginseng. If you really want it, I can sell it to you," Qiao i said.
"But... but I don't have money..." Bian Ke whispered.
Xia He sneered and said, "Most people can't even chance upon such a rare item. Are you thinking about taking our family's things to showcase your filial piety?"
In her heart, Qiao i gave Xia He a thumbs up. Xia He was good at reading people now. She could sense very quickly what these people with ulterior motives were thinking.
"That's not what I an! I'll buy it! But I don't have a lot of money, so perhaps you can let have it on credit! After all, my grandfather's life is more important," Bian Ke said.
Qiao i was not an unreasonable person. She had already checked on Bian Ke's family background. Her grandfather was old and had a bad cough and it was suspected to be lung cancer. Only her 1,000-year-old ginseng juice could cure him. Otherwise, it would be useless no matter how much money the family spent.
"Sure. The original price of this ginseng is 200,000 dollars. I can sell it to you for 150,000 dollars," Qiao i said casually.
