Chapter 1527 Speaking
"What… what's so bad about it? My father is the one who dug out this ginseng. What's wrong with using it to treat my mother's illness?" Liang Lan said.
"Your father? Your Liang family has long cut ties with my grandfather! Stop claiming to be a relative! Who wants to be related to your family!" Qiao Mei scolded angrily.
"How can you say that? It's Qiao Qiang's blood that flows in my body. He'll have to admit to this fact until the day he dies!" Liang Lan said forcefully.
"Then drain out all your blood. I'll pay for your transfusion. Do you think my grandfather wants you to keep his blood? Stop putting on an act here," Qiao Mei said disdainfully.
"You have to give me the medicine! My mother is suffering from a stroke because of all of you. You have to take responsibility! You can't just sit back and do nothing!" Seeing that Qiao Mei was unmoved by both force and persuasion, Liang Lan could only tell Qiao Mei to hand over the medicine.
Qiao Mei would not fall for this. Even if she came alone today, she would not be afraid of Liang Lan's threat. Moreover, she had Xia Zhe with her today.
"Then go to the police station and tell that to the police! Don't talk to me about all these! Do I owe your family anything? Does my grandfather owe your family anything? How can you have the cheek to negotiate terms with me? I've already done my best by giving your family three bottles of medicine! Outsiders can't even get any even if they beg for it!" Qiao Mei looked at Liang Lan mockingly.
Qiao Mei patted Xia Zhe's hand and asked him to go next door to wheel Liang Shu back in. All the walls in the Liang family's house were very thin and they had spoken so loudly just now, so she was sure that Liang Shu overheard their conversation.
"In front of your mother, tell us honestly who you gave the medicinal wine to," Qiao Mei said as she looked at Liang Lan.
"Don't try to frame me! I fed all the medicine to my mother!" Liang Lan said agitatedly.
"Is that so?" Qiao Mei questioned.
Qiao Mei really did not want to say anything else. Liang Lan could always come up with more than 100 reasons to talk back. The best solution now was to let Liang Shu recover.
She took out a small bottle of medicinal wine from her pocket, forced open Liang Shu's mouth and poured everything in. After Liang Shu drank it, she suddenly felt comfortable all over. The taste of this medicinal wine was the same as what she usually drank.
When Qiao Mei entered the house earlier, she was actually scolding Qiao Mei. At first, she could not move at all. After drinking Qiao Mei's medicine, she could sit up again. However, by the second month, the taste of the medicine had become very faint and by the third month, there was completely no taste.
Liang Lan treated her worse than a dog at home and her condition continued to worsen. She had thought that there was something wrong with the medicine and that Qiao Mei had given her fake medicine. Now, it seemed that it was Liang Lan's doing all along!
"You heartless thing! You actually gave the medicine to someone else!" Liang Shu pointed at Liang Lan and scolded her angrily.
Qiao Mei nodded in satisfaction. This was how her medicine was supposed to work. The effect was immediate. Whatever happened next was the Liang family's private matter and had nothing to do with her anymore.
She grabbed Xia Zhe and hurriedly ran out of the Liang family's house. She did not speak along the way, occupied with thoughts about who Liang Lan had sold the medicine to.
"Is your little head still filled with thoughts about their family?" Xia Zhe said as he tapped Qiao Mei's head.
"I'm wondering if they sold it or gave it away as a gift," Qiao Mei said with a slight frown.
It was still alright if they had given it away, but if Liang Lan had sold it, it would definitely attract attention and bring trouble to the Xia family.
"Some time ago, there was news that the Old Master of the Song family was critically ill, but then he suddenly recovered. Taking into account what Song Dan did some time ago, I think the Liang family gave the medicinal wine to the Song family to claim some form of credit," Xia Zhe analyzed.
"No wonder Song Dan keeps pursuing Elder Sister! These people are too vicious! The Liang family has really opened my eyes. They don't even care about their own mother's life and actually treat Liang Shu in this manner in exchange for their own future," Qiao Mei said angrily.
She was only feeling sad and angry for Qiao Qiang. As for Liang Shu, her current situation could be considered her retribution. Back then, she had done all kinds of nasty things. Now that she was old, her children only wanted to scheme against her and make use of her.
"Grandfather doesn't care about those people and things at all. He doesn't take things so hard!" Xia Zhe said with a smile.
"You're right. It's time to ask Grandpa Xia to come to our house. The fight between the two of them has already lasted a few months. If this continues, it will soon be a year since the two of them stopped talking to each other," Qiao Mei said.
