1431 Recuperate Well
When Liang Lan heard this, she almost jumped up with happiness. If the effect of this medicine was stronger than the previous one, this meant that the quality of this medicine was better! She did not expect the heavens to be on her side!

“Sure, sure, sure! Let’s go back together!” Liang Lan said excitedly.

If Qiao Mei saw how miserable Liang Shu looked and took pity on her, perhaps she might give more medicinal wine the next time round!

Qiao Mei and Liang Lan got into the car and headed for the Liang family’s old house. This time, there was no stench in the house. Liang Shu was still lying on the bed, unable to get down and walk. She looked no different from the last time.

Qiao Mei stared at Liang Shu in puzzlement and Liang Lan immediately noticed where Qiao Mei was looking. She immediately pointed at Liang Shu and said, “My mother is much better now! She can even move her fingers and hold things like cups and bowls, just not for too long.”

Qiao Mei felt that something was wrong. The amount of medicine she gave Liang Shu the last time was enough to enable Liang Shu to eat and talk normally by now. However, looking at Liang Shu’s current condition, it was like she had never drunk any medicinal wine before. It did not look as if there was even one-tenth of the medicinal effect.

“Auntie Liang, I’m here to see you,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
Liang Shu raised her hand with great effort and pointed at Qiao Mei as she cursed unintelligibly. Based on seniority, Qiao Mei should address her as Grandma Liang. Although that would make her sound very old, it was the correct form of address. The way Qiao Mei addressed her now made her sound as if she was from the same generation as Qiao Yue and her own children, which would put her one generation behind Qiao Qiang!

Qiao Mei quickly said, “Auntie Liang, don’t be angry. I’m just here to visit you. If you don’t want me here, I can go.”

Liang Lan blocked the door and did not allow Qiao Mei to leave. If they offended Qiao Mei today, it would not be so easy for her to go and look for Qiao Mei again.

“My mother is just muddle-headed. She’s old and her mind isn’t that sharp. Please don’t mind her…” Liang Lan said apologetically.

“It’s fine. Since it’s getting late, I should head back. I’m just here to take a look at her. Now that I have seen her, I should leave.” Qiao Mei turned around and said to Liang Shu, “Take good care of yourself! Eat as much as you can. Otherwise it’ll be a pity when you can’t eat in the future~”

Without waiting for Liang Shu to scold her, Qiao Mei left the house and got into the Xia family’s car to return to her own house. Liang Shu continued cursing while lying on the bed and even threw everything on the bed to the floor.

Liang Lan picked up the things from the floor one by one and arranged them properly. Liang Shu was so angry that she picked up a cup from the side and threw it at Liang Lan’s head. A patch of redness instantly appeared on Liang Lan’s head.

“Are you done with the fussing! If you’re done, then take your medicine!” Liang Lan said angrily.

Upon hearing that it was time for medicine, Liang Shu toned down her temper a little. Nothing was more important than her health and she wanted to see improvements every day. Once she recovered, she would definitely teach these people who bullied her a lesson!

Unbeknownst to Liang Shu, Liang Lan secretly poured out three-quarters of the medicine from the original bottle into another small bottle. She then topped up the original bottle with water to make it look exactly the same as before.

“Come! Drink it quickly! You’ll recover faster after you drink it!” Liang Lan said sulkily as she brought over the bowl of medicine.

Liang Shu drank the medicine obediently. After she finished it, she grabbed Liang Lan’s wrist tightly and whimpered as if she was trying to say something. Liang Lan knew that she wanted to ask about the photo, but Liang Lan dared not tell her what Qiao Mei said. She had only just gotten slightly better, so Liang Lan did not want her to fall sick again from anger.

“I forgot to ask her. I’ll do it next time, alright? Take a rest now.” Liang Lan casually made up a random excuse to fool Liang Shu.

After that, Liang Lan took the bowl and went to another room where Liang Guo had been waiting for a long time.

“Have you brought the medicine!” Liang Guo said excitedly.

“Here it is!” Liang Lan said smugly as she held up the medicine bottle.

“This is too little. It’s even less than the last time! How am I supposed to explain this to them! Is this how you do things! Why can’t you even do such a small task well,” Liang Guo grumbled.

“It’s already good enough that I can get the medicine! Yet you’re still so picky. If you don’t want it, there are plenty of others who want it,” Liang Lan said.

Liang Guo had already found a buyer for the medicine, but what he wanted in return was not money, but status. Money was useless to their family at the moment. How much money would they need to resolve their current predicament? It would probably be like throwing money into a bottomless pit.
