601 Telephone Call From the Capital
Chen Hu happily got into Zhao Liang’s vehicle with his things and gradually disappeared from Qiao Mei’s sight. Zhang Wei was still doing his basic training in the courtyard.
“Xiao Wei, you can stop now. Go and rest,” Qiao Mei said, feeling sorry for him.
“Elder sister, I’m fine. I can still go on for a little longer!” Zhang Wei said as he maintained a horse stance.
Zhang Wei could already do the horse stance steadily by now. In the beginning, his legs would tremble after standing for a while and it would be difficult for him to walk after that. His whole body would ache every day.!!
Qiao Qiang had been monitoring his training every day. Now, it seemed that his hard work had paid off. He had already mastered the horse stance and he could maintain it without wavering.
Qiao Mei looked at Zhang Wei, feeling comforted. She returned home and rummaged through the things that she did not need at home. Then, she handed them all to Zhang Chao.
When the Liang family returned to the county city, they did not go back to the guest house immediately. Instead, they went to the best restaurant to have a good meal!
The two adults and two children actually managed to finish all six plates of food, not even leaving any soup dregs. The boss looked on in shock.
The boss wondered if they were reincarnated hungry ghosts. He thought that they had ordered too much and he did not expect them to finish everything so cleanly.
“It’s all Qiao Mei’s fault! All because she didn’t let us stay for dinner! We wouldn’t have come out feeling so hungry! It’s really hard on the children!” Liang Lan said fiercely.
“I wonder what she tells our father and what kind of bewitching potion she uses on him. Why does he listen to her?” Liang Guo said angrily.
In Liang Guo’s eyes, a family should be controlled by the man. Everything should be decided by the man.
Now, Qiao Qiang was being controlled and deceived by Qiao Mei and he only listened to her. He even let her have control over something as important as the ginseng. If Qiao Mei sided with outsiders and gave the ginseng to the Xia family, then that was a huge loss to them!
Those belonged to the Liang family! Even if they did not dig it up personally, it was dug up by their biological father, Qiao Qiang. They had a share in it!
What was even more ridiculous was that Qiao Qiang wanted to give the house to Qiao Mei after he died!
What a joke! What a huge joke!
If news of this got out, he would be too ashamed to continue staying in the capital! His father did not leave his house to him, the son, but to the granddaughter!
“Alright, alright. Let’s go. Don’t talk about this here. Isn’t it embarrassing enough!” Liang Lan said softly.
Liang Guo was worried that he would get hungry again tonight, so he bought another two orders of buns before they returned to the guest house. Along the way, the four of them looked very unhappy. Those who did not know better would think that someone had died in their family!
As soon as they entered the guest house, the receptionist at the entrance called out to Liang Guo.
“Hello! Are you from 202!” the receptionist said.
“Yes, it’s me. What’s the matter?” Liang Guo said politely.
The receptionist took out his notebook and flipped to a page with a phone number. “There was a telephone call for you. Do you recognize this number?”
Liang Guo walked to the phone while feeling puzzled. When he saw the number, he immediately understood everything. It was a call from the Liang family’s house in the capital. His mother, Liang Xin, must be looking for him.
Liang Lan brought the two children back to the room first and settled them down before coming down to look for Liang Guo. It was definitely nothing good if Liang Xin was looking for them. She must be urging them to go back quickly.
Liang Guo made the call miserably and said, “Hello… Mother.”
“You still know how to give me a call? If I don’t know any better, I’d have thought that you died in that village with my grandson!” The voice on the other end of the phone sounded very arrogant, a reflection of Liang Xin’s character.
“I have been busy and don’t have time to call you to tell you that I’m safe,” Liang Guo said guiltily.
“How’s my grandson? Let me talk to my grandson!” Liang Xin said.
If Liang Xin found out that he and Liang Lan had starved the two children for an entire day, she would definitely break his legs when they returned home! She would not allow anyone to hurt her precious grandson!
“Liang Zu walked for a long time today and was so exhausted that he fell asleep once he came back. I’ll get him to call you tomorrow morning if there’s time,” Liang Guo said.
She agreed that it was not good to wake the child up if he was already asleep. Otherwise, this little ancestor would definitely throw a tantrum at her. It was better to wait until tomorrow.
“How’s it going with the matter you’re tasked to do? Is he still unwilling to come back?” Liang Xin asked casually.
