"No, you can't. We already have too many children at home and there are so many lessons every day. The teacher can't take care of so many people at the same time. We won't be able to cope if the two of you join in. You should go back to your own house," Qiao Mei said.

Xiao Yu pouted unhappily and almost revealed her true colors in front of Qiao Qiang. Liang Lan hurriedly pulled Xiao Yu into her arms and said, "The child is still young. She's just curious about new things."

"It's fine. Children can be insensible but adults should know better. Is there anything else?" Qiao Mei asked bluntly.

Liang Lan's smile froze on her face. Qiao Mei did not have parents to discipline her since she was young, so it was not hard to understand why she was so rude. Liang Lan did not want to argue with Qiao Mei and wanted to get down to business.

"Actually, we're not here for anything special. We're just bringing the kids over for a visit. I feel that Father's health has improved a lot. Did he recover so well because of some medicine that he took?" Liang Lan probed.

They were finally getting to the point. Qiao Mei and Qiao Qiang looked at each other with disdainful smiles on their faces.

They knew that the Liang family was definitely up to no good. Not only did they come empty-handed even when paying a visit, but they kept requesting to stay over for a few days. Their behavior was completely abnormal.

"Medicine? Grandfather doesn't take any medicine. He just eats the fowl which we rear ourselves, as well as the vegetables we grow at home. Other than that, he only eats some herbs from the mountains," Qiao Mei said.

"Is that so? I heard from other people that you seem to have a very useful 'divine medicine'. I wonder if you still have any left," Liang Guo asked.

"Is there such a thing? Why don't I know anything about it? Our family doesn't have any 'divine medicine'," Qiao Mei said.

Liang Lan said in disbelief, "We're not asking you to give it to us for free. A few days ago, we even heard that He Ning bought all the medicine. You… haven't kept some for yourselves?"

Qiao Mei really could not be bothered with these people from the Liang family. She had already explained this matter countless times. She was still able to be patient with other people, but when it came to the Liang family members, she simply could not suppress the anger in her heart. She always had the urge to scold them and tell them to get lost quickly, hoping that she never had to see them again.

"Since you already say that it's 'divine medicine', then how can there be a lot? He Ning bought everything. If you want it, you can go and buy some from He Ning," Qiao Mei said.

She was not willing to waste her breath and would simply redirect any queries about the "divine medicine" to He Ning. Qiao Mei guessed that the Liang family would not dare to go and look for He Ning to offer to buy the medicine. Otherwise, they would not have gone through so much trouble to come to their place.

"Erm… Then what is the medicine made of? Don't you at least have the raw materials?" Liang Lan asked agitatedly.

"Raw materials? Yes, a 10,000-year-old ginseng," Qiao Mei said as she looked at Liang Lan earnestly.

A 10,000-year-old ginseng? How was that possible!

The Liang family members all looked at Qiao Mei in shock. A 100-year-old ginseng was already considered a top-grade ginseng on the market. How could there be a 10,000-year-old ginseng? A 10,000-year-old ginseng must already be a plant spirit.

Even if Qiao Mei did not want to give them the formula, she should not lie to them like this. How could she treat them like fools?

"Nonsense! How can there be a 10,000-year-old ginseng! How can things be stored for so long! It would have gone bad long ago!" Xiao Yu shouted as she jabbed her finger at Qiao Mei's nose.

Seeing that Xiao Yu was being so rude to Qiao Mei, Qiao Qiang sat up and glared at Xiao Yu. His fierce gaze frightened Xiao Yu so much that she retreated repeatedly and fell to the ground while crying.

Liang Lan hurriedly asked Liang Zu to bring Xiao Yu to one side so that she did not get in the way of what they were doing.

Qiao Mei shrugged and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. This is the truth. We really don't have it anymore."

"What about ginseng? Don't you have any more ginseng?" Liang Lan continued to ask.

Even if there was no more "divine medicine", the root of a 10,000-year-old ginseng was a very valuable item too. Such a root could easily be considered an elixir.

"No, He Ning bought everything. If you really need it, go and buy some from He Ning. Everything related to the medicine has been bought by He Ning. You don't have to waste your breath here," Qiao Mei said.

Seeing that Qiao Mei was so stubborn, the Liang siblings gloomily left Qiao Mei's house with the children.
