After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 685 A SmallToken

He Ning walked into the courtyard in high spirits with a bag in his hand which looked to be quite heavy.

"Are you guys waiting for me?" He Ning said.

Qiao Qiang said with annoyance, "You still have the cheek to come here."

"In the past, my little niece had created trouble in the capital and caused Qiao Mei to be frightened. Although it was not my intention, it's only right that I take responsibility for it. I apologize to you for this matter," He Ning said as he lowered his head slightly.

Qiao Mei smiled mockingly. What a scheming person. What a good way to put it.

He made it sound like it was all He Mei's fault and that it had nothing to do with him. Back then, that was not how he behaved when he made use of Wang Yong and the old widow to deal with her.

"Then where did you send Wang Yong and the old widow? Wasn't this incident instigated by you?" Qiao Mei asked innocently.

He Ning raised his originally lowered head. He had almost forgotten about these two people and he did not expect Qiao Mei to still remember them.

Those people were in the hands of the Xia family. Xia Xiu personally tied them up and sent them to the He family house to demand an explanation from He Ning.

He had lost to Qiao Mei because he had underestimated his enemy. In order to reassure the Xia family, He Ning found a random mountain area and threw the two of them there for labor reform. He had promised the Xia family that they would stay there for three years, but later on, he secretly sent Wang Yong and the old widow back to their original place of residence.

Qiao Mei had heard all the rumors from their village. With Auntie Dong around, it was difficult not to know about the happenings in the surrounding eight villages.

"I punished them," He Ning said vaguely.

He could not possibly capture Wang Yong and the old widow and punish them again. That would be a total disregard for human lives. This was not his territory, so it was better not to cause trouble.

Qiao Mei did not expect He Ning to do anything. She was able to carry out her own revenge and just wanted to remind He Ning not to think that he did this matter flawlessly. In the end, she would get back what he owed her.

"Come in and eat. Don't stand here," Qiao Qiang said impatiently.

He Ning quickly nodded and went to the backyard to ask Huo Gao to go into the house for their meal. The simple dishes were more delicious than what Wang Qin made at home. Even though there was no meat, it even smelt better than meat.

This made He Ning even more determined to seize Qiao Mei… No, no, no! His idea was to seize Xia Zhe!

However, He Mei's face was now ruined and He Guo would not be able to return in the next few years. This lineage was definitely out of the question. He Wei also did not have a daughter, so he could only choose among the other relatives of the He family.

It was all He Mei's fault for being a disappointment and messing up his plans. She could stay in that godforsaken place for the rest of her life! He would only consider letting He Mei return when he was in a good mood.

After He Ning finished eating, he opened the bag he brought with him. It was filled with rolls of banknotes. Qiao Qiang did not even look at them as he leaned against the brick bed and listened to the radio.

Qiao Mei did not care about what was in the bag at all. What she was concerned about was what He Ning wanted from her.

"This is a small token. Take it as a deposit. It's a total of 50,000 dollars. I'll get someone to send the rest here overnight," He Ning said.

"I'm not interested. You should take it back," Qiao Mei said.

He Ning found it strange. Could it be that Qiao Mei found the deposit too little?

He would be schemed against if he brought too much money with him. It seemed that he needed to inform the capital to send the money over faster.

"Name your conditions and I'll try my best to satisfy you," He Ning said seriously.

"It's not that I don't agree, but we only have ginseng that's 10 plus or 20 plus years old. I'm afraid you won't like it." Qiao Mei took out the box she had prepared in advance and handed it to He Ning.

He Ning opened it and took a look. He could tell that these ginsengs were all inferior goods without even needing to show them to Huo Gao. After taking medicine for so many years, he could already be considered half a doctor.

"It's indeed not what I want, but I can accept it," He Ning said as he patted the box.

Although these ginsengs were not that good, they were still many times better than ordinary ginsengs of the same age available on the market. The smell of this ginseng was similar to the 100-year-old ginseng from back then.

"If you insist on having 100-year-old ginseng, it's not as if I don't have any, but we have to go and dig it out. So you have to give us time," Qiao Mei said with a smile.

He Ning looked at Qiao Mei in shock and asked, "Dig it out? Are you saying that you've already discovered the location of the ginseng?"
