After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 1194 Old Immortal

?

Jiang Yi deliberately raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes and pretended to be aggrieved and pitiful as she said, "Sigh… I don't know if my daughter is doing well in the Xia family. My husband is very sick and I'm just an uneducated woman who doesn't know anything. We also don't have any money to treat his illness. If we delay it for a few more days! The two of us probably won't be able to survive!"

He Mei said in surprise, "It sounds serious! But why don't you go and look for the Xia family? Their family has a 'divine medicine'. I heard that when Xia Mao was about to die sometime back, he was saved by that medicine. Now, he's like a person in his thirties and in even better health than Xia Wen! He seems younger and even looks like Xia Wen's elder brother now. Don't they know that Uncle is so sick?"

Jiang Yi stood rooted to the spot and looked at He Mei. She had never heard of such a wondrous thing, not in passing nor had she heard Tan Jing and Xia Wen discussing it before. None of the neighbors around her had ever mentioned such a thing. Was it true?

"This… Where did you hear this from? Why haven't we heard our daughter mention it before? Don't tell me you heard it from someone who heard it from someone else?" Jiang Yi asked doubtfully.

"Hasn't Tan Jing told you before! She's really… Everyone in the Xia family has some. That 'divine medicine' is already disseminated around the capital. That Qiao Mei is kind enough to give everyone a bottle! I hear that every month, she gives some to everyone related to the Xia family. I just don't know how much each person gets, but everyone gets a share for sure!" He Mei did not even think before she spoke and the lies just slipped off her tongue easily.

Jiang Yi did not really go to school and was illiterate, so she did not know anything about science. However, she had heard legends that mentioned elixirs which granted "immortality". She had even heard that there was an "Old Immortal" nearby! He was already more than 400 years old!

This person lived deep in the old forest in the mountains and never came out from there, but everyone knew the approximate location of his dwelling. As long as one kowtowed a few times at the intersection and articulated the difficult matter that one wanted to solve, it would not take long for the matter to be resolved. Everyone believed that this legend was true and no one dared to enter the mountains to disturb the "Old Immortal". They all silently followed this rule.

"You received a share too?" Jiang Yi asked.I think you should take a look at

"That's why I'm here to beg Tan Jing to help me think of a way. She already promised to help me! Since she already told me your address, how can any of this be fake?" He Mei said matter-of-factly.

Jiang Yi's expression immediately darkened. Their family did not even get a share of such a good thing, so how could they let outsiders take it first? This Tan Jing really liked to side with outsiders. Tan Bo was sick, but she did not think about bringing back some of the "divine medicine" to show filial piety to her parents. She actually even wanted to give it away!

"Um… Tan Jing won't be coming home today. A lot has happened at home recently! My husband is sick, so I won't invite you to stay. It's getting dark soon, so you should hurry home," Jiang Yi said.

He Mei had not planned to stay in the Tan family for long either. Her only intent was to convey the message and sow discord between the Tan family and the Xia family so that the Xia family would have their hands full. She had no interest in staying for a meal in such a remote village. It was much better for her to return to the He family residence as soon as possible. She had spent almost all her money, so if she did not return to the He family residence soon, she would really have to end up living on the streets.

He Ning still treated her quite well. As long as she spoke nicely, He Ning would definitely let her return to the He family. How could He Ning really not care about his own family? He Ning had already sent her father to prison. If she died, the He family's eldest son would have no descendants left! How could He Ning face his ancestors in the future!

"Alright, then I'll come and look for Tan Jing another day. Uncle and Auntie, take good care of yourselves!" After saying that, He Mei hurriedly ran out of the Tan residence and got into the car to leave the village. She was worried that if she was any slower, Jiang Yi would ask her for money! She did not want to bring such trouble onto herself.

After He Mei left, Jiang Yi and Tan Bo reminisced about what He Mei said. They definitely believed in miracles and that there were magical elixirs in this world. They also believed that the "Old Immortal" in the mountains protected the safety of the area they lived in, but they had only heard stories from others and never seen anything with their own eyes!
