625 Job Transfer
Originally, he should be able to recover his health after eating the ginseng he received from Qiao Mei, and he would have been able to live for at least another 10 years! However, thanks to the Xia family, his health was even worse than before!
“It tastes awful. Can’t you make some nice tasting medicine?” He Ning complained as he threw a tantrum.
In the face of this old friend with a bad temper, Huo Gao only smiled and did not say anything. He Ning said similar things a few times a month, but he was simply complaining.
After the bitterness subsided, He Ning focused on thinking about how to give the Xia family a satisfactory answer without losing too much on his end.
Although the current He family was not as powerful as before, it was not a big deal for him to take out 200,000 dollars.
However, this method did not work on the Xia family at all. The Xia family did not care about money. They just wanted He Mei to pay the price and they wanted to get an explanation for Qiao Mei.
“Where do you think I should send He Mei?” He Ning asked Huo Gao.
“Miss He Mei has an arrogant temper. It’s not a bad thing for her to go out and gain some experience. Let her go out and suffer a little. Then she’ll understand your painstaking efforts,” Huo Gao said.
He Ning nodded in satisfaction. It would be good to send her away. Out of sight, out of mind. It would save him the trouble of having to clean up her mess after she went around causing trouble in the capital.
At this moment, Xia Wen and Xia He were eating grapes and planting flowers in the courtyard house. After Qiao Mei left, Xia Wen brought the students to work overtime to repair the courtyard house. It was now in an even better condition than before.
This was the last batch of grapes this year. If they did not come over to pick them, the grapes would probably all drop to the ground. At that time, the entire courtyard would be filled with insects and ants and the smell of rotting fruits. It would then take a lot of effort to clean up the courtyard.
They had to take care of these things themselves so that Qiao Mei would not be disappointed to see a dilapidated courtyard when she returned.
“Elder brother, look at these grapes. They’re big and sweet and even more delicious than what grandmother planted!” Xia He sat on the swing and said with a smile.
Xia Wen usually did not eat grapes. Back then, the grapes planted by his grandmother were a little sour. Every time she coaxed him to eat them, his face would scrunch up from the sourness.
These grapes seemed to be of a different variety. It seemed that Qiao Mei really was not just bragging when she talked about her skills with plants.
“When Qiao Mei comes back, are you going to come here every day to freeload?” Xia Wen said.
Xia He thought about it carefully and said, “That’s really possible. Anyway, Xia Zhe won’t be back. What’s wrong with me accompanying Qiao Mei!”
“Those who don’t know better would think that Xia Zhe married this wife for your sake!” Xia Wen said with a laugh.
There were not many people in the family who could get along well with Xia He. In the past, she had always stuck close to Xia Wen. After Xia Wen married Tan Jing, they stopped interacting much so as to avoid making anyone uncomfortable. In the past, Tan Jing used to be a very suitable candidate, but nowadays she would feel sorry for herself every day and was full of negative energy. After talking to her, it usually made one even more depressed.
As for the rest of the family, Aunt could be considered a candidate. However, Aunt was still an elder and it was not appropriate for her to talk to her elders about private matters. Qiao Mei was still the best. Although she was young, she was understanding and very interesting. No one would ever feel bored when with her!
“What are you saying! If Xiao Zhe finds out, he will definitely chase after me and beat me up. I can’t beat him,” Xia He said.
“By the way, have you settled your work matters? Do you need any help from the family?” Xia Wen put down the things in his hand and sat opposite Xia He.
Ever since Xia He and Kong Lu got a divorce, she had already started moving her work to the capital. Xu Lan also helped out secretly and this matter was quickly settled. Xia He was going to the military art troupe in the capital for training next month.
There was only one thing that was very difficult for her. The current principal performer of the art troupe was someone who had lost to her back then. If not for the fact that she wanted to live a stable life with Kong Lu, she would have held on to the position of principal performer for life! That person had always been dissatisfied with her and felt that she was able to become the principal performer only because of Xu Lan’s support.
After Xia He left, that person flaunted her prowess every day. Given that Xia He was going back, she might gossip about it!
However, Xia He had never been afraid of such things and did not take these people to heart at all. The most important thing now was to quickly earn money so that she could buy things for her nephew! She heard that children were very difficult to take care of and were especially precious. At the mall, their things also cost more than other things.
