After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 604 Not In The Wholesale Business

Why was the situation different from what they had expected?

Could this also be part of the Xia family's plan? Was this all part of their plan?

No! No! They could not panic. It was possible that Qiao Mei was tricking them to get information out of them!

Liang Lan looked towards Liang Guo anxiously. Liang Guo calmly patted Liang Lan's shoulder to calm her down.

"Let's not beat around the bush. Not many people know about this matter, right? The fact that you're back safe and sound. I suppose the He family doesn't know anything?" Liang Guo asked.

Qiao Mei smiled faintly. She had long known that this matter would not be kept a secret for long. Back then, the He family was able to find out details about her background in the village and even found someone to bring the old widow and her son to the capital to frame her. They definitely would have sent someone to check if she had really had a miscarriage.

It was just that He Ning was too busy with his own issues now, so their spies had not come by to investigate her. When He Ning came back to his senses, he definitely would not let her off.

She did not expect to have attracted these two "hungry wolves" from the Liang family even before the He family's people arrived.

"So what they know and so what if they don't? Then do you want the He family to know that my baby is still around? Or do you want them not to know?" Qiao Mei asked with a smile.

This question was a sore point for the Liang siblings. This was also something they had pondered over last night without being able to come to a decision.

If they told the He family about this matter, they would be able to negotiate terms with the He family. When the time came, it would not be difficult for them to ask for help to resolve their family's current predicament. However, they still needed ginseng to succeed. After all, it was not a difficult thing for the He family to find on their own that Qiao Mei was still pregnant.

Without having ginseng to push the process along, the He family definitely would not thank them, but would shoot the messenger instead. Then, not only would the He family ignore them, but they would also offend the Xia family.

In the end, it would be all for nothing.

However, if they helped the Xia family hide the secret from the He family, they would not be able to get a single cent out of it. Without even considering the fact of whether Qiao Mei would acknowledge them as relatives or not, the Xia family had always been prudent and did not band together with other families nor participate in any private deals. The Xia family would not help them solve their current problem at all. Moreover, the Xia family was the type of family that would not offend others unless they were attacked. If they offended the Xia family, they would definitely have to repay double the debt.

Qiao Mei and Qiao Qiang treated them with indifference now. It was even more hopeless to get Qiao Qiang to go back and help the Liang family solve the problem.

In the current situation, it was difficult to either advance or retreat.

In that case, he might as well take a risk and threaten Qiao Mei before making a deal with the He family. At least there would be hope.

Maybe Qiao Mei was young enough to be easily frightened and would give them everything they asked for?

"We should be the ones asking you this. Whether you want the He family to know or not," Liang Guo narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

He looked like a wily fox waiting for Qiao Mei, this "little lamb", to fall into a trap!

"Of course I don't want them to know! If they find out about this, they won't let me off," Qiao Mei said, pretending to be afraid.

Liang Guo smiled even more smugly. If Qiao Mei was afraid, then there was still hope for them. He wanted Qiao Mei to pay the price for the humiliation they had suffered over the past few days!

"We're your uncle and aunt. Of course we won't betray you and tell the He family that your child is still alive, but you have to give us some benefits," Liang Guo said.

"Benefits? What benefits do you want? I can't persuade grandfather to return to the capital with you," Qiao Mei said.

"You can exchange it for a 100-year-old ginseng. If you take out the 100-year-old ginseng, we won't tell the He family about this. We will also leave this village and return to the capital," Liang Guo said sternly.

This wishful thinking could not be more obvious!

If they could easily obtain a 100-year-old ginseng by hiding information about her from the He family, then did she have to give one to everyone who found out about this in the future?

She was not in the wholesale business!

Although she could indeed engage in wholesale production…

"This 100-year-old ginseng is rare and not easy to obtain. I don't have any with me now, so how do you expect me to give it to you," Qiao Mei said awkwardly.

"It's fine if it's not a 100-year-old one. Anything that's more than 50 years old is fine! Just take out what any ginseng you have," Liang Lan said anxiously.
