“Grandfather, the truth is… My grandmother’s real name is Gao Tao. Back then, she was attacked by some people. That was why she was disfigured,” Qiao Mei said.
“What happened?” Qiao Qiang asked with a frown.
Qiao Mei told Qiao Qiang about everything that happened back then, up to the point about how Liang Jin and Zhang Cheng died in the end. She only kept the matter about Liang Shu a secret.
Liang Shu truly did not know that Qiao Qiangs first wife was Gao Tao and it was a fact that she had given Qiao Qiang two children. However, Liang Shu was actually an accomplice in Gao Tao’s death. She definitely played a part in Gao Tao’s death.
If Qiao Qiang found out about the fact that he had raised two children with the person who killed his beloved wife, he definitely would not be able to accept it.
“I thought that Wen Ran… I should call her Gao Tao now. I thought that Gao Tao was just an orphan who had a hard life, but I didn’t expect her to have gone through so much. I didn’t help her to kill her enemy. I should bear responsibility for that,” Qiao Qiang said dejectedly.
“Brother-in-law, don’t blame yourself. It’s my elder sister’s good fortune to have met you. You’ve already done a lot for her. I heard from Qiao Mei that my elder sister had a blissful life in her later years. That’s good enough. Moreover, Qiao Mei is the one who planned for Liang Jin and Zhang Cheng to meet their deaths and make them suffer the consequences of their own actions. In a way, we’ve already avenged my elder sister,” Gao Lin said as he looked at Qiao Qiang.
“The deceased is already gone. I hope Gao Tao will have a better life in her next life,” Qiao Qiang said melancholically.
Qiao Mei and Xia Wen led Xu Lan out of the room and gave Qiao Qiang and the Gao family some private time. They definitely had a lot to catch up on.
Xia Wen quietly pulled Qiao Mei aside and said, “I’m guessing that this matter isn’t as simple as you describe.”
“As expected of Eldest Brother. You’re still as sharp as ever,” Qiao Mei said with a laugh.
“If those people overseas have been dealt with, are there any left in this country? What do you plan to do next?” Xia Wen asked directly.
“It’s Liang Shu, but I’ve already set a trap for her before I left. I reckon their family is in a tizzy now!” Qiao Mei said.
“So this is why you asked me to send medicinal wine to them!” Xia Wen was suddenly enlightened. He had thought that Qiao Mei was kind-hearted and wanted Liang Shu to have a full recovery. He did not expect Qiao Mei to want to start a fight in their family.
Liang Shu treated the bottle of medicinal wine like a treasure. Even when she went to the toilet or went to bed, she kept it with her and never let it out of her
In the beginning, Liang Lan and Liang Guo would still coax Liang Shu into handing over the bottle of medicinal wine to them. Liang Guo and Liang Lan had once again reached a bottleneck in their jobs. He Ning would not help them anymore, so they could only make use of the medicinal wine to fight for an opportunity.
They said all kinds of nice things, but Liang Shu refused to give them the medicinal wine. She even chased Liang Guo and Liang Lan out of the Liang family’s old house. The siblings fell out with Liang Shu completely.
Liang Shu was already advanced in age and she had not fully recovered yet. Although she could still do things like cooking and washing clothes, she was helpless when it came to manual work like doing repairs and chopping firewood.
Her children did not care about her and her neighbors turned a blind eye to it as well. Her days were tough, but she was willing to let it be. As long as she could keep the medicinal wine in her possession, it was worth it no matter how hard life was! This was her lifesaver!
As the days passed, Liang Lan and Liang Guo began to face more issues in their careers. They had to settle it quickly. Liang Shu’s birthday was coming up in two days’ time and they planned to return to the Liang family’s old house that day to steal the medicinal wine.
They did not speak to one another. Liang Lan still had some conscience and had ordered a birthday cake for Liang Shu so that it at least felt like a birthday celebration. Liang Guo did not bring anything with him. He thought it was already good enough that he came back to visit Liang Shu!
Liang Shu t s birthday banquet ended awkwardly. Liang Lan and Liang Guo gave some excuses and said that they had to hurry home.
Late at night, Qiao Mei drove slowly towards the Liang family’s old house. She went to a corner of the wall and planted a vine seed there. Old folks usually went to bed early. At this moment, Liang Shu was already lying on the bed and sleeping soundly with the bottle of medicinal wine in her hands.
Qiao Mei directed the vines into the house and slowly wrapped them around the medicinal wine bottle. These vines were as thin as silk. Even if someone saw them, they would think that it was some type of green yarn and would not see it for what it was..
