After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 597 Finding An Opportunity

"You have to believe that Xiao Yu really didn't do it on purpose! She's too young to know anything! Just forgive her!" Liang Lan said nervously.

Xiao Yu seemed to know that she had made a big mistake. She curled up in Liang Lan's arms and did not dare to make a sound.

"If a child doesn't know anything, then do the adults also know nothing? Just because you don't educate her well, can she hurt me at will without paying any price?" Qiao Mei asked as she pointed at Xiao Yu.

Of course not… But what could she do at this point…

Liang Zu looked at Xiao Yu resentfully. It seemed that he needed to do something. He did not want to stay in this lousy village for the rest of his life!

Liang Zu walked over pitifully and held Qiao Mei's sleeve as he said, "Elder sister, please let us stay for a meal. I haven't eaten for a day and I'm so hungry that I have no strength to walk."

Qiao Mei understood by now that they would definitely not leave without eating.

She had no choice but to let them stay for the meal. Chen Hu immediately looked unhappy. He did not expect the Liang siblings to be so shameless. Not only were they shameless, but they even made use of their two children.

After Qiao Qiang was done, he went into the kitchen to prepare the rice and set the table for dinner.

When the Liang siblings brought the children into the house, they realized that there were only three sets of cutlery on the table and there was no share for them at all.

Qiao Qiang remained silent and did not invite them to sit down. Qiao Mei and Chen Hu also did not say anything else and sat down to eat as if the Liang family was invisible.

Xiao Yu and Liang Zu did not dare to go forward and provoke Qiao Mei again. They stood quietly at the side and watched them eat. Perhaps Qiao Mei would be kind enough to let them eat later?

Liang Lan carefully sized up the goose in the bowl. She could tell at a glance that there were many medicinal herbs in the stewed goose dish, as well as a few ginseng roots.

She slowly sat on the brick bed and stared intently at the bowl of stewed goose, waiting for an opportunity to ask about the ginseng.

Chen Hu did not stand on ceremony with Qiao Mei and Qiao Qiang. The taste of the stewed goose was comparable to that of the ones served in restaurants. It might be even more delicious than that.

"Mei Mei, your culinary skills are really not bad. You're even better than the chefs in those restaurants! Why didn't I realize that you have such skills back then!" Chen Hu praised her.

Before Qiao Mei could say anything, Liang Lan took the opportunity and immediately said, "That's right. When I smelled it outside, I felt that it was even more fragrant than the usual dish. I wonder how Qiao Mei makes it. Can you tell me about it? I'll make some for Xiao Yu to try when we get back."

"Nothing. It's just ordinary goose and mushrooms," Qiao Mei replied indifferently.

"I think there's something else inside! This is wolfberries… that's mushroom… Hey! Is that a ginseng root!" Liang Lan probed.

Qiao Mei curled her lips and smiled without saying anything. So Liang Lan was waiting for this! No wonder she did not leave after so many days. She wanted to find out about the ginseng.

They were really able to endure it and could wait so long before they revealed their motives. The atmosphere suddenly became strange.

"Your eyesight is really good. I'm worried that my family would get sick during the change in season, so I added some nourishment. You can even tell," Qiao Mei said.

"Ginseng is a good thing! I heard that my father dug up this ginseng! I didn't expect my father to have such skills!" Liang Lan praised.

"You didn't spend much time by my side. Of course you don't know what I know," Qiao Qiang said sulkily.

Liang Lan had heard from the Cao family that the ginseng Qiao Mei gave to them was dug up personally by her grandfather in the mountain, and that she specially bought the house for him.

"Father, is there a lot of ginseng on this mountain?" Liang Lan probed.

Qiao Qiang frowned and said impatiently, "Yes, it's everywhere in the mountain."

This made the Liang siblings extremely excited. If they had ginseng, even if Qiao Qiang did not go back, their family would still be saved!

The Liang family's predicament was actually not much different from that of the Cao family. The Cao family was fired because they did not do a good job. What happened with the Liang family was that they were affected by the retrenchment exercise.

The Liang siblings tried their best to stay in their positions. If they lost their jobs, the Liang family would be completely ruined.

Since the Cao family could use the 100-year-old ginseng to exchange for the stability of the entire Cao family, why not them?
