After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 2202: Settle Scores With the Xia Family!
For a mont, the entire room fell silent. Everyone was lost in their own thoughts, then Bian Jian said, "We still don't know why Father died. The ginseng is the most suspicious item. Let's start with the ginseng."
"That's right! If the Xia family has really sold us fake ginseng, we can make them go bankrupt! They must compensate us!" Bian Guo said.
The mont they heard that there might be compensation, Bian Cui and Bian Xiang imdiately perked up. Bian Cui said, "Younger Sister and I still have a small piece of ginseng root. We can ask a doctor to take a look at it."
"Let's do that!" Bian Jian said.
The Bian family imdiately went to look for a famous old doctor in the capital, Old Mr. Sun, who also happened to be Qiao i's close acquaintance. He picked up the ginseng root and examined it carefully. It did not take long for him to be able to tell if the ginseng was real or fake.
"This ginseng... no! This is not ginseng at all. It's sothing poisonous. To a young and strong man, this bit of poison is nothing, but to a child or a sick old man, it's highly toxic!" Old Mr. Sun said.
"What! This is a fake! I spent a lot of money to buy it from the Xia family!" Bian Jian said angrily.
"The Xia family's ginseng? No way. I often buy ginseng from the Xia family and this one definitely doesn't look like it's from Foshan Village. Did you buy it from an unscrupulous businessman?" Old Mr. Sun asked.
"We bought it directly from the Xia family!" Bian Jian said.
Old Mr. Sun looked at Bian Jian suspiciously. As far as he knew, the Xia family had long stopped selling ginseng and Qiao i had kept everything into storage. How could they be able to buy ginseng from the Xia family?
"A debt must be repaid! A life for a life! I want the Xia family to give us an explanation!" Bian Guo roared.
"Wait! Are you sure you bought it personally from the Xia family mbers? Not from one of their helpers?" Old Mr. Sun asked again.
Everyone looked at Bian Ke and she insisted that she had bought it directly from Qiao i without a doubt!
At this mont, she definitely could not tell them the truth. If her family found out that it was the fake ginseng she bought which caused Old Master Bian's death, she would probably die by tomorrow!
The Bian family believed what Bian Ke said. The group of them made their way to Qiao i's house in a grandiose manner. After so many days, Qiao i and the others had already returned to their own hos. Xia Zheng and his family had moved to Xia Mao's courtyard house to stay for a few days.
He Ning had been sending people out to keep tabs on the news related to the Bian family. When Jia Zhong ca back to report this matter to him, he was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand.
"I just know that this woman is incompetent! What a useless thing!" He Ning said.
"What should we do now?" Jia Zhong asked.
"The real ginseng is with . The only thing to do now is to put the ginseng at the Bian family's house. We can't let Qiao i find out that there is a fake ginseng involved," He Ning said with a frown.
Qiao i was a very smart person. If she found out that Bian Ke had brought ho a fake ginseng, she would be able to find out about his relationship with the Bian family very soon. When that happened, he would definitely get the bla for this matter. He did not want to take the bla for no reason!
"We won't be able to return it..." Huo Gao said guiltily.
"What did you say?" He Ning asked.
"I stewed it! Haven't you noticed that you can walk very fast these past few days? It's the effect of eating that ginseng," Huo Gao said.
"You! Did you even hear what I said back then! You're the sa as Bian Ke! You're both useless things!" He Ning pointed at Huo Gao and said angrily.
Jia Zhong stood at the side and did not dare to make a sound. He only left the He family's house quietly after He Ning finished scolding everyone. He felt that his job was getting more and more difficult...
At this mont, Qiao i was going through the account ledgers at ho. She would be handing over her work to Xia Wen soon and she needed to personally confirm the amount of seeds to give and the amount of money to receive.
"Do you want to have the seeds of all the different vegetables and fruits?" Qiao i asked.
"No, I'll just take two types first. We can't serve those old fellows everything at once!" Xia Wen said imdiately.
Recently, his superiors have changed to a new group of people. These people did not have much academic knowledge, but yet they made life difficult for Xia Wen. It had been a tedious ti at work for him recently.
Originally, he had planned to hand in all of Qiao i's seeds. After all, this was for the good of the country. However, this group of people would not cherish the fruits of Qiao i's labor at all and would even greedily ask for more. Xia Wen planned to give them one type of seed for their testing first and secretly hand over the rest of the seeds to more highly-ranked
superiors.
"I'll go with your arrangent. If you need anything, just tell Sun Tian. Their family is in charge of everything in the fields. I have left everything to them now!" Qiao i said happily. Xia Wen was about to say sothing when he was interrupted by the sound of soone banging on the main door. Who was the one who dared to kick up a fuss outside Qiao i's house in this manner in broad daylight?
