The He family and the Xia family currently had an agreement not to make trouble for each other for five years. If he did anything to breach the agreement, the Xia family would definitely go all out and fight the He family.

If this was the Xia family from last year, He Ning would not be afraid of them. Even if they tried their best, they would not be able to defeat the He family.

However, the Xia family was now active in politics, business and the military and doing very well in all three fields. The He family was now the much weaker party.

The current Xia family could do a lot of damage with very little effort!

He Ning was so angry that he kept coughing. His progressively recovering health had worsened again. Everything he had planned for so long was now ruined!

“Set aside all your work for now. Your health is most important. We don’t have much ginseng left. If your condition worsens and Qiao Mei refuses to help, then you’ll be out of options,” Huo Gao said.

Back then, they had bought three ginsengs from Qiao Mei. Now, they had only two left. They were still purchasing ginsengs dug out by the villagers, but these ginsengs were between 10 and 20 years old.

This was quite normal. It was impossible for a mountain to be filled with 100-year-old ginsengs. After all, 100-year-old ginseng was a rare thing. They had heard that those in Qiao Mei’s possession were family heirlooms passed down to Qiao Qiang from her ancestors. This was the only reason why she had so many.

“It’s that idiot in the backyard! Is she willing to let me rest? I planned everything for her so wholeheartedly, but she created such a big mess for me. It’s already good enough that I haven’t killed her! If I had known this would happen, I would have just married her off to a butcher back then! Then there won’t be so much trouble now!” He Ning said angrily.

“She’s just a child. How are you so angry with her? At most, we’ll just let them tell everyone about what happened. The He family was only involved in a small part of the whole matter. The real grudge is between the Ma family, the Shen family and the Qian family. The He family’s involvement is just circumstantial. At most, they can only say that we played the role of the matchmaker,” Huo Gao said as he analyzed the situation.

He Ning felt that what Huo Gao said made sense, but the Ma family and the Shen family had already fallen into decline and gone bankrupt. Currently, only the He family was still standing strong. The reporters from the television station would definitely target them. That smart little girl, Qiao Mei, would also focus on talking about the He family.

Most of the He family’s endeavors were not above board. Over the years, He Ning had bribed many people so that he would not get reported. Even if he was, the news would not reach the ears of the higher-ups. However, Qiao Mei wanted to break this rule now. This was what He Ning was most afraid of.

What Huo Gao mentioned were only those superficial issues. Who would care about those things?

Since they did not know how to go about solving this issue, they decided to leave it in the hands of someone who was willing to go all out.

Old Madam Qian walked shakily towards the factory. She was determined to see Qian’e today. Otherwise, Qian Cai and Qian Sheng would leave her again. It had not been easy for her to trick her two sons into coming to the capital. She could not let them go back so soon.

At that moment, Qian’e was getting ready to go home with Qiao Mei after work. She had heard from Deng Fan that the renovation works at her newly purchased house were coming to an end but there were still many details which he wanted to discuss with her. She was going to go and take a look at the house today and wanted Qiao Mei to come along and give her some advice.

She did not expect to run into Old Madam Qian the moment she stepped out of the factory. Qian’e covered her face and held Qiao Mei’s hand, wanting to leave quickly. However, Qiao Mei was pregnant and could not walk so fast, so she had no choice but to face Old Madam Qian.

“What are you doing here?” Qian’e said.

“Can’t I come here to see my granddaughter? You don’t even come home nowadays and you fool around with men outside! You’ve embarrassed our family! Come home with me now!” Old Madam Qian shouted loudly, attracting a lot of attention.

“I’ve already cut ties with all of you. You have no right to ask me to go back,” Qian’e said.

“I have no right? Look carefully! I’m your grandmother! This is your mother! We’re your family members! How can you cut off blood ties just like that? You haven’t been home for so long and you don’t even transfer money to the family! Don’t you care about our lives!” Old Madam Qian questioned.

Qiao Mei rolled her eyes helplessly. What did their lives have to do with Qian’e? They were all able-bodied people and it was not as if they could not support themselves.
