“We heard from He Ning that the Xia family had recently gotten a new daughter-in-law, but we really did not know that she was our niece. We only found out after the He family congratulated us,” Liang Guo said.
Actually, they had known about this a long time ago, but they thought that the name was just a coincidence. They did not expect Qiao Mei to actually be their niece, and it made them overjoyed.
He need not have to inform Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei about his relationship with the He family, but since his family wanted to rely on the Xia family in the future, he had to make it clear in advance. If he hid these things now and did not tell them, it would make things worse if it was exposed in the future.
Furthermore, it was also something that they could not hide from the Xia family.
“Alright, I know what you mean, but we still don’t have any form of relationship. My grandfather has long cut ties with you, so there’s nothing between us. I hope you won’t mention it again,” Qiao Mei said impatiently.

When Lang Lan heard that Qiao Qiang had already told Qiao Mei about what happened in the past, her eyes immediately turned red. “How is your grandfather?” she asked.
Qiao Mei rolled her eyes and was so angry that she could not speak. She wondered why there was no end to this matter.
However, Qiao Mei had no reason to refute her. This woman just kept asking questions about her grandfather’s health. There was nothing wrong with that and she could only answer the woman patiently.
“He’s doing alright,” Qiao Mei said.
“Then can he take the train? When can he come to the capital? Do you need us to prepare anything?” Liang Lan quickly asked when she heard that Qiao Qiang was doing fine.
“He’ll come after the backyard is fixed,” Qiao Mei said.
“Oh, then there’s no need to wait. Come and stay at our place. We have many rooms there. We are his children, so it’s only right and proper for us to take care of him when he’s old,” Liang Lan said with a smile.
“That’s right, you can ask him to come to the capital now,” Liang Guo echoed.
“Didn’t you sever ties with one another?” Qiao Mei said as she looked at the two Liang family members.
Now that they remembered him, they said that it was right and proper for them to take care of him. Then, why were they disloyal and unfilial back then? Did they suddenly recover the conscience that they had lost in the past?
“Sigh, you’re just a child and you don’t understand our situation at that time. We could only do what we did at that time. Otherwise, our family would still be living an unknown existence in goodness knows where. I think you should understand what we’re saying, right?” Liang Guo looked at Xia Zhe as he finished up his sentence.
“Foshan Village,” Qiao Mei suddenly said.
“What?” Liang Guo and Liang Lan did not quite understand what Qiao Mei was talking about.
“Of course you’re going to Foshan Village. Where else?” Qiao Mei was stunned for a moment before asking them.
“What Foshan Village?” Liang Lan asked curiously.
Qiao Mei laughed and said, “Don’t tell me you don’t know that my grandfather and I live in Foshan Village?”
Liang Lan and Liang Guo looked at each other. They really did not know the name of that village. They only knew that it was located in a poor mountain area in the northeastern part and it was a place where people could not go out for half a year when it snowed. It was located in a remote countryside that was extremely far from the city.
They had only started to look for Qiao Qiang in the past few months and had gone to Chen Hu to ask for all this information. However, Chen Hu only told them about Qiao Qiang’s recent situation and did not mention the name of the village.
“Ah… yes, yes, yes! We remember it even after all these years! We won’t forget Foshan Village. We’ve always wanted to go back and see you guys, but you also know that your grandfather has a very stubborn temper, so we don’t want to disturb him and make him angry,” Liang Lan said.
Qiao Mei suddenly laughed out loudly and said, “Hahahaha, I’m just teasing you! Our place is called the Qiao Family Village.”
The expressions on the faces of Liang Guo and Liang Lan instantly darkened. This wretched girl had so many tricks up her sleeve!

“The Xia family can’t help with the Liang family’s issues,” Xia Zhe said coldly.
The two members of the Liang family thought that Qiao Mei was just a girl who grew up in the countryside and had not seen much of the world. They did not expect this wretched girl to be so scheming and even managed to fool around with them.
Xia Zhe was the second young master of the Xia family and Xia Jun’s future heir. It seemed as if he did not have any real power given that he had been away from home, but in fact, his words still carried a lot of weight in the Xia family.
