After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! C.2197 - : Raise Money

Chapter 2197: Raise Money

Editor: Atlas Studios

Important matters, such as marriage, were usually decided by one’s parents. Since his parents were no longer around, he would let Xu Lan and Xia Mao decide for him. He would go with Xu Lan’s arrangements.

“This girl is not as nice as my friend described. She’s not suitable for you and she’s not suitable to join our family. Since you don’t like her that much, then you shouldn’t continue with the relationship,” Xu Lan said seriously.

“Alright. Godmother, I’ll do as you say,” Meng Yuan said.

Xia He patted Meng Yuan’s shoulder and said, “It’s not that Mother wants to break up your relationship. That girl is indeed not a good partner. Look at her aggressive attitude today. It’s enough to show that she won’t let you have an easy life in the future.”

“You still have the cheek to criticize others! As if your temper is better than hers!” Xia You said laughingly.

“It’s indeed not too good, but Deng Fan has a good temper!” Xia He said sweetly.

The originally awkward atmosphere instantly eased up. Everyone gathered together at the table for their meal. They would not let Bian Ke’s willfulness ruin their original plan.

Bian Ke’s mother, Du Juan, was shocked to see Bian Ke home so early. She had thought that the Xia family would ask Bian Ke to stay for the night!

“Why are you back? They actually sent you back even though the journey is so long? Did you do something to offend someone!” Du Juan pulled Bian Ke to one side and asked nervously.

Bian Ke’s father, Bian Jian, was hosting his siblings today. Du Juan had just bragged to the neighbors that the Xia family had invited Bian Ke to the luxurious villa for a visit today. The neighbors were all very envious of her. Now that Bian Ke was back all of a sudden, it was like a slap in her face!

“I came back because something happened,” Bian Ke said vaguely.

“What is it? Did you offend the Xia family?” Du Juan asked.

“I asked them for ginseng to give to Grandfather. They asked me to come back and discuss it with my family,” Bian Ke said.

When Bian Jian heard the noise outside, he asked Bian Ke to enter the house to talk to everyone. Bian Jian was the eldest son of the Bian family and he had two younger sisters and two younger brothers. They were all squeezed into a small room and having a chat. Although they said it was a casual chat, they were actually discussing how to split the Old Master’s assets when he died.

“Xiao Ke! Did you mention ginseng just now? Say it again!” Bian Jian said.

“The Xia family says that they can sell me a 30-year-old wild ginseng for… 200,000 dollars,” Bian Ke said weakly.

She intended to go and buy some normal ginseng with the extra 50,000 dollars. In any case, her family would not be able to tell the difference! As for the wild ginseng, she wanted to give it to He Ning!

Her grandfather was already so old and he must have lived long enough! It was not a big deal even if he died! However, He Ning was different! He Ning was not even 40 years old and was dying of illness even before he was halfway through his life! If He Ning died, how could she become Mrs. He!

“Did you ask clearly? Is it the wild ginseng from Foshan Village?” Bian Jian asked excitedly.

“That’s right, it’s the wild ginseng from there. I tried to bargain with her but she refused to budge and insisted on 200,000 dollars,” Bian Ke said.

“You wretched girl! How can you bargain with the Xia family! That’s the Xia family! What will they think of you!” Bian Jian said.

Bian Ke shrugged nonchalantly. She did not care what the Xia family thought of her. If not for He Ning, she would not even look at Meng Yuan!

“Eldest Brother, you’re not really going to buy a wild ginseng for 200,000 dollars, are you?” Bian Cui, the Bian family’s second child, said.

“Second Sister, don’t you want Father to live for a few more years? This wild ginseng can allow Father to live for at least three more years!” Bian Jian said.

Bian Ke looked at Bian Jian joyfully. She did not expect a mere 30-year-old wild ginseng to be so wondrous! If so, then He Ning could live for another three years!

“Other people can’t even get a chance to buy it! Aunts and Uncles! Let’s pool our money together! Let’s buy this wild ginseng for Grandfather!” Bian Ke said anxiously.

Bian Jian immediately said, “My family will contribute 10,000 dollars!”

“Eldest Brother, you’re being biased! How can you calculate it like this! There are five of us so each family should contribute 40,000 dollars!” the Bian family’s fourth child, Bian Guo, said.

“If you want to buy it, you can discuss it among yourselves. I’m not interested. My family’s monthly salary adds up to less than 100 dollars, so I won’t join in,” Bian Cui said.

“Second Sister, how can you say that? Isn’t he your father too? How can you not contribute! If all of us just scrimp and save a little, we’ll be able to pool together the money!” Bian Guo said.

“He’s my father, but my father also said previously that a married daughter is like spilled water! I’m not even considered a part of the Bian family anymore! Why should I fork out the money!” Bian Cui said agitatedly.

“Second Sister is right. When we were young, our father said that he only needs his sons to be around in his old age and he doesn’t need his two daughters! The money for your weddings come from the betrothal gifts received when Second Sister and I got married!” Bian family’s third child, Bian Xiang, said.
