679 Receiving the Parcel

“Ginseng. Previously, He Ning bought the 100-year-old ginseng I brought along. And for a very high price!” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“That won’t do. We can’t give it to such a person who doesn’t know what’s good for him! No matter how much money he can pay!” Qiao Qiang said angrily.

He could not let go of anyone who harmed his granddaughter so easily! They had to pay the price.

So what if He Ning died without ginseng? If Qiao Mei had lost her children at that time, it might have been two lives lost! No, three lives!

“We can’t give him the ones we have at home. Even if he comes again, don’t give them to him,” Qiao Qiang said.

“Yes, yes, yes. I definitely won’t give it to him. Don’t worry.” Qiao Mei agreed with Qiao Qiang.

Xia Wen had just received news that He Ning had left the capital. As soon as class ended, he went to Xia Jun’s house to discuss countermeasures. Even Xia Mao, who was having a meeting in the army, was recalled back.

“You all know about this matter, right? He Ning actually dared to go and look for Qiao Mei directly this time. We don’t have any reliable people there. We should think of a solution,” Xia Jun said sternly.

“Grandfather, I think we should send someone to investigate He Ning’s motive first. It’s fine if it’s just for the ginseng, then we can still wait and see,” Xia Wen said with a frown.

Xia Mao did not agree. In the beginning, he was still worried about Qiao Mei’s situation, but now that he thought about it carefully, he felt that there was no danger at all. Xia Wen and Xia Jun were just being too concerned.

“Father! Why aren’t you saying anything? I’d better ask Xia Zhe to go back quickly. Doesn’t he still have a lot of leave? He can probably still take another month’s leave,” Xia Wen said anxiously.

Xia Mao waved his hand and said, “Is the army run by our family? As if Xia Zhe can come and go as he pleases. You’re just too anxious about this matter. He Ning won’t do anything to Qiao Mei, so don’t worry.”

“Won’t do anything? Why? There’s nothing that He Ning can’t do,” Xia Jun said.

The He family was currently facing internal and external enemies. Without He Ning in the family, there was no one in charge. He Guo was the only one who had been convicted. The matter with He Wei and He Li had yet to come to a conclusion, and the Xia family did not intend to pursue the matter with the two of them.

However, He Ning seemed to want them to stay inside for another month so that they could hone their temperament.

Although the Xia family did not have anyone they could rely on in Foshan Village, they heard that Chen Hu in the county city and Qiao Qiang had a very good relationship. Even a strong dragon could not defeat a local snake, so He Ning would not choose to harm Qiao Mei at this time.

“Besides, Qiao Mei still has the ginseng that He Ning needs the most. Do you think He Ning will harm Qiao Mei?” Xia Mao said.

Hearing this, they all felt relieved. They had always been busy with work and did not know anything about household matters. Even Xu Lan was being taken care of by Liu Fen as Xia Mao did not have the time or energy to take care of Xu Lan.

Xu Lan sat at the door every day and peered around, hoping that Qiao Mei would write back and send her something.

“Eldest sister-in-law, if you continue to sit like this, you will hurt your waist,” Liu Fen said worriedly.

“I’m just anxious. Tell me, why hasn’t Qiao Mei sent me a letter yet? Did my things get confiscated? It’s been quite a while.” Xu Lan stood up and paced back and forth anxiously at the door.

Liu Fen was very worried that the ground at the door would collapse if Xu Lan walked like this for another two days.

“Is anyone there! There’s a delivery for the Xia family! Is anyone home!” the postman shouted from outside the door.

Xu Lan hurriedly ran out of the door and shouted, “There’s someone here, there’s someone here!”

Liu Fen stayed in the house and did not go out. How big could a letter be? Did she need to go out and carry it too?

“Liu Fen! Come and help me! Liu Fen, do you hear me!” Xu Lan shouted happily towards the house.

Liu Fen put on her shoes and walked out slowly. She was shocked by the scene in front of her. The parcel was almost taller than her and Xu Lan could not move it at all.

Xu Lan sat down on the ground and pointed at the parcel as she shouted happily, “Look! Look! Qiao Mei sent me something! There’s so much! Look! Hahaha! She’s still thinking about me! Look!”

Liu Fen looked at Xu Lan laughing. This was the first time she had seen Xu Lan lose her composure outside, not concerned about her image at all and only thinking about the things that her precious Qiao Mei had sent her.
