Chapter 1335 Coming to Ask For Medicine

"Do I need to tell you to focus on the bigger picture? I don't care if you have done it or not. When the matter of the seeds is settled next year, you can do whatever you want. Don't think that I don't know what you're up to. Don't you know best why you don't have a wife?" the village chief questioned.

Qiao Mei had visited this village for an inspection last year and confirmed that the land here was suitable for planting seeds. She had also already agreed on a price with the village chief and they would be signing the agreement when spring arrived. At this juncture, no one was allowed to do anything that would lead to trouble.

Everything must be set aside for the time being. They must focus on the matter of Qiao Mei's deal with the village first.

"Got it," Zhao Liu said sulkily.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry. He would definitely do everything he could to get hold of Li Gui and make her his woman!

With the village chief's intervention, Zhao Liu's family indeed became much more obedient. With that, Zhao Fei and Li Gui continued to work together. Due to the reduction in the number of helpers, the amount they sold every day also decreased a lot.

This was only a temporary situation for now. Once the building in the suburbs was completed, they would be able to do everything they planned. At that time, it would not be a problem to recruit as many people as they wanted!

After a few peaceful days, there was a knock on Qiao Mei's door early one morning. Qiao Mei opened the door groggily and she certainly did not expect to find Liang Lan kneeling at the door. Qiao Mei thought that she had seen a ghost and was so shocked that she almost used the big stick at the side to hit the kneeling figure.

The Liang Lan in front of her looked very different from the Liang Lan in Qiao Mei's memories. She had lost a lot of weight and looked much more haggard than before. Her eyes were bloodshot and her hair was a mess, as if she had not slept for a few days and nights.

"What... what are you doing here?" Qiao Mei asked hesitantly.

"Please save my mother! She already knows she's the one at fault! Can you please give her some 'divine medicine' and save her? You're the only one who can save her now!" Liang Lan begged.

She had been through a lot during this period of time. In the beginning, everyone had agreed to take turns to take care of Liang Shu, but the rest all found reasons not to do it in the end. In order to avoid taking care of Liang Shu, Bai Ming even returned to her maternal home, saying that her mother was also sick and that as the daughter, she had to go back and wait upon her mother. She also said that it was more convenient for her mother to be taken care of by a daughter rather than a son. How could she not stay by her mother's side at such a time?

The meaning between the lines was to remind Liang Lan that she should be the one taking care of Liang Shu. Otherwise, she was an unfilial child! She deserved to be criticized!

Liang Shu was hospitalized for a short while before Liang Lan brought her back to the family's old house. Now that Liang Can had occupied the Liang family's luxurious villa, it was impossible for Liang Shu to go back there.

The old house was at the foot of the mountain in the suburbs and the place had been left vacant for a long time. Occasionally, Liang Shu would arrange for people to come here to tidy up the courtyard and clean the house.

"It's not impossible for me to save her. Has she thought things through by now? Will she scold me again when she sees me? Whatever happened the last time we met is still fresh in my mind!" Qiao Mei asked.

"Absolutely not! She has already thought things through! She's the one who asks me to come and look for you this time round!" Liang Lan said.

Actually, Liang Lan did not know what Liang Shu was thinking. She did not even know when exactly Qiao Mei had gone to look for Liang Lan. She had only heard the nurses at the reception desk mention this incident, and then Xiao Jing had also asked her to come to Qiao Mei's place to ask for the "divine medicine" to try out. She was only here to try her luck.

At this point, Liang Shu could only make whining sounds and Liang Lan did not have the patience to figure out what Liang Shu meant.

Liang Shu had suffered a lot since she fell sick and Liang Lan had clearly explained all the pros and cons to her during this period of time. If they did not beg Qiao Mei for help, then Liang Shu would have to stay in the dilapidated old house for the rest of her life. Liang Can would never let Liang Shu return to the Liang family's luxurious villa. Perhaps Liang Can would even take over all of Liang Shu's assets in the future!

Liang Shu had been at loggerheads with Liang Can for her entire life. She would never allow Liang Can to get hold of her assets so easily. For that alone, she would smile at Qiao Mei even if she had to force herself to do it.

"In that case, you'll have to wait a while." After saying that, Qiao Mei returned to her room to catch up on her sleep.

She asked Xu Kang to first bring Liang Lan to the living room, then to go to the convenience store at the entrance of the alley to make a phone call to Xia He. Under such circumstances, Qiao Mei definitely could not go alone and needed someone to go with her.
