1195 Immortality
“Old woman, do you think this whole thing is true?” Tan Bo asked suspiciously.
“I think it’s true! You haven’t met Xu Lan recently. Her face is so youthful and bouncy! She definitely doesn’t look her age! I’m the same age as her! The fact is that I have never seen her so radiant in the past. If you ask me, Tan Jing is hiding this information from us! She deliberately doesn’t want us to know!” Jiang Yi said resentfully.
On the other hand, Tan Bo was willing to believe in Tan Jing. After all, they always went to Tan Jing’s house to freeload and had never seen anything out of the ordinary in her house. The two of them knew very well what Tan Jing had in her house. Every time they went, Jiang Yi would rummage the entire place for a long time. If there was anything valuable or odd in the house, they would always manage to find it and take it away.
This was unless Tan Jing had not yet brought back the medicinal wine when they last went to her house! It was possible either way!
“Why don’t you give Xiao Jiu a call and ask her? Isn’t Xiao Jiu working in the city! You can ask her. Perhaps she knows what has happened to Tan Jing recently!” Tan Bo said.
Xiao Jiu was Tan Jing’s childhood friend. From young, Xiao Jiu had been a diligent and hardworking girl. Unfortunately, her parents died early. When she was 14 years old, she went to the city alone to work and was doing quite well for herself now.
Jiang Yi shamelessly made a phone call to Xiao Jiu. The phone rang for a long time before Xiao Jiu picked it up impatiently.
“Hello? Who is it?” Xiao Jiu said.
“Xiao Jiu! I’m your Auntie Jiang! I have something to ask you. I wonder if you know what Xiao Jing has been doing recently?” Jiang Yi asked.
Tan Jing seemed to have become a different person in the past few years and basically did not call Xiao Jiu anymore. However, Xiao Jiu still knew a lot about all those messy things that happened at Tan Jing’s house. After all, she used to be in the same workplace unit as Tan Jing and Xia Wen. Recently, many of her colleagues had been gossiping about the Xia family. It was difficult not to know anything.
“I guess I know a little. Auntie Jiang, is there something you need from Xiao Jing?” Xiao Jiu asked.
“Yes, yes! I just want to ask you, do you know about Xia Wen’s father being injured and then revived?” Jiang Yi asked expectantly.
Xiao Jiu did not think too much about it and quickly said, “I know! Everyone knows about this, but no one knows why. He probably met a very capable doctor. He’s considered a pillar of the nation and got injured when on duty. They must have used all kinds of good medicine on him. It’s not surprising that he survived.”
After receiving confirmation, Jiang Yi was totally convinced that the Xia family had a “divine medicine”. Before Xiao Jiu even finished speaking, she hurriedly hung up the phone. She really could not hide the excitement in her heart. If they also obtained the “divine medicine”, they would be able to live as long as the “Old Immortal” in the mountains in the future! They might even be stronger than the Old Immortal!
No wonder the Xia family had not allowed them to visit recently. The Xia family must be guarding against the Tan family as if they were thieves! So this was the truth that was waiting for them! The Xia family was afraid that they would find out about the “divine medicine”.
“Wait until I go to their house tomorrow! No! I’ll go to their house now! They’re so lawless! They actually dare to use Xiao Jing’s issue to threaten us. It’s obviously a lie! They’re probably slandering Xiao Jing! I’ll go and argue with them now!” Jiang Yi said angrily.
Tan Bo hurriedly stopped Jiang Yi and said, “Where do you think you’re going in the middle of the night! Besides… cough cough cough… I’m sick. What am I supposed to do if you’re not around? You should think about it again.”
“What is there to think about! My life is ruined by your Tan family! I must have owed your family in my past life! You don’t even allow me to grab such a good opportunity! You’re just afraid that I’ll live long enough to get something from your Tan family! You’ve been on guard against me for my whole life, yet in the end, don’t you still depend on me to wait upon you?” Jiang Yi said sulkily.
Tan Bo ignored Jiang Yi. Every time he disagreed with Jiang Yi, she would come up with all kinds of nasty things and say many things that belittled him and the Tan family’s ancestors. In the beginning, Tan Bo would still teach Jiang Yi a lesson, but now that he was old and sick, he was already unable to beat up Jiang Yi and could only aggrievedly listen to her say these things.
However, Jiang Yi had a sharp tongue but she was not that vicious. She still treated Tan Bo conscientiously.
