1340 Ask Someone Else for It
The size of the bottle was completely not what Liang Lan expected. She had thought that Qiao Mei would be very generous and give her many bottles, or at least enough doses to feed Liang Shu for a month.

Such a small bottle would be used up after a few sips. It would not even last a week. Could this thing really cure Liang Shu’s illness?

“Is that all?” Liang Shu asked with uncertainty as she kept looking at Xia He’s bag. If not for the fact that the bag was in Xia He’s arms, Liang Lan would probably have gone forward to open it to confirm that there was really no second bottle inside.
“What do you think this is? Some kind of beverage? Something which is sold widely in the shops? You should feel glad that you can get a share. I don’t even have any! If you’re not interested, then return it to us. There are many other people who want it!” Xia He looked at Liang Shu, who was making threatening gestures on the bed, and continued, “I don’t think your mother wants our help at all. Perhaps you should do as she wishes and return the medicine to us.”

“No, no, no! That’s not what my mother meant! She’s just too excited! She’s… she’s actually really happy!” Liang Lan hurriedly ran to Liang Shu and lowered her voice as she said, “Mother… Do you really want to lie paralyzed in bed for the rest of your life! Only they can save you now!”

“Mmmm mmm!!!” Liang Shu moaned. Liang Lan tried her best to make Liang Shu shut up and Liang Shu’s voice gradually became much softer.

“What… what if there’s not enough medicine?” Liang Lan asked as she held up the medicine bottle.

“Then you have to wait. After all, this medicine is not always available. I don’t know when there will be another batch. You can only wait,” Qiao Mei said.

“I can wait, but my mother can’t! Please give us more!” Liang Lan begged.

Qiao Mei leaned against the door and said, “Why not… you go and ask He Ning for some? He has quite a few bottles. All my stock was taken by He Ning back then. The medicine which we gave to Old Mr. Sun had to be portioned out of the Xia family’s share.”

How would anyone from the insignificant Liang family dare to appear in front of the He family? They would not even be able to enter the main door and were not worthy of He Ning’s attention. If they happened to catch He Ning in a bad mood, the Liang family could completely disappear from the capital!

There was nothing that a devil like He Ning could not do.

“Then I’ll wait for news from you!” Liang Lan said immediately.

Qiao Mei sneered disdainfully and left the Liang family’s old house with Xia He.

Before Qiao Mei left, she could not help but turn back to look at the dilapidated courtyard again. After memorizing all the details, she turned around and left.

On the way home, Xia He could not help but ask, “Can that medicine really make Liang Shu better?”

Xia He had personally witnessed how amazing this medicine was. Just one mouthful was enough to bring Xia Mao back to life. The amount they gave those people just now should be enough for Liang Shu to be reborn.

Liang Shu had treated Grandpa Qiao so badly in the past. In Xia He’s opinion, Liang Shu deserved what she was going through now! Liang Shu was suffering the retribution from all the evil things that she did and Qiao Mei did not need to send medicine to Liang Shu at all. It was such a waste to give it to such a person!

“Whether she can recover or not depends on her own luck. This medicine can only help her return to living a normal life but she would not be able to regain her previous physical condition. I just want to make Grandfather feel better as I’m worried that he will think too much. I have no intention of completely curing Liang Shu. I’m not that kind-hearted,” Qiao Mei said honestly.

It was only then that Xia He felt relieved. This was still the Qiao Mei she knew. The two of them went home happily.

Liang Lan used a spoon to feed Liang Shu the medicine. Initially, she had her own selfish motives. If Qiao Mei gave them a lot, then she would take the remainder. Was there anyone who would not grow old one day? She could take a small sip every day so that her health could get even better and she could live longer. This way, most of the Liang family’s assets would end up belonging to her.

There was so little medicine now that even Liang Shu herself did not have enough, so how could she steal a portion of it? It was still unknown whether Qiao Mei would still be willing to give more medicine to Liang Shu in the future, so she must make full use of what she had.

Not long after Liang Shu drank the medicine, she suddenly said hoarsely, “Photo… ring… photo…”

Liang Lan looked at Liang Shu in shock. She did not expect this medicine to be so magical! It had not even been 15 minutes since Liang Shu drank it, but she could already speak! It seemed that the rumors were true and that this medicine could even revive the dead!
