After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!



Nowadays, if someone offered Tan Bao 10 dollars in return for a kowtow, he would immediately kneel down and kowtow to that person. He would not even mind kowtowing a few times! As long as the price was right, everything was negotiable. It would not be a problem even if they wanted to bash his head in tonight.

"Gosh… Why are you getting annoyed with your son? Go and look for Xia Wen… and ask him to give us money! Cough, cough, cough…" Tan Bo said weakly.

"Money, money, money, all you know is money! You're already in such a state, how can I go and ask for money? What if you die at home! Look at all your wonderful sons! I must have really done too many evil things in my past life to have to marry into the Tan family. I've suffered so much in this life!" Jiang Yi said angrily.

Jiang Yi said this not because she was concerned whether Tan Bo would die of illness. She only cared about her own interests. Tan Bo used to be one of the top senior master technicians in the factory. After his retirement, he received a retirement pension of 20 dollars a month, as well as food stamps and meat coupons. If Tan Bo died, she would lose all the money and subsidies. Then, how would she be able to support herself!

"I won't die! Go and find Tan Jing! Ask Tan Jing to go and beg the Xia family!" Tan Bo said intermittently.

They did not have any news of Tan Jing at the moment. Jiang Yi had already gone to the house Tan Jing and Xia Wen lived in, but it had already been sold. She did not know how much Xia Wen sold the house for and the sale had also been carried out secretly. Tan Jing should at least get a share of the money! How could the Xia family pocket all the money!

The Xia family must really look down on the Tan family. However, where could they find more information about Tan Jing?

He Ning had asked Jia Zhong to make an exact replica of Qiao Mei's rocking chair. There were many rocking chairs sold on the market, but the one which Qiao Mei had was not a common design, as if the Xia family had custom made it. Even after Jia Zhong drew the exact design for the carpenter, the carpenter still could not make a perfect copy.

However, the final product was already good enough. Jia Zhong even asked a tailor to make the exact same cushion to put on the rocking chair. Even the fabric used was exactly the same. This was also the reason why He Ning liked to ask Jia Zhong to do things for him. He was extremely meticulous, so He Ning need not worry so much.

"Bad news, Mr. He. Something has happened," Jia Zhong said with a serious expression as he came to He Ning's side.

"Speak slowly, what happened?" He Ning asked nonchalantly.

Jia Zhong related in detail about how He Mei had returned to the capital, how she went to the hospital to cause trouble, how she was gathering a gang of people to deal with the Xia family, and how she got into a conflict with Zheng Peng. He Ning did not react at all and seemed very happy instead.

"Noted. You should keep an eye on the Xia family for the time being. As long as there's any movement, send someone to report to me. The other matters are not important. You can deal with them as you deem fit," He Ning said.

Jia Zhong understood what He Ning meant and left the He residence with his subordinates. At this moment, Huo Gao brought over a bowl of warm tonic. The medicine which He Ning was drinking now was Huo Gao's latest concoction and it tasted even more bitter than before. It even smelt quite bad.

"What kind of poison is this? Why is it worse than the previous medicine?" He Ning asked unwillingly.

"Good medicine is bitter. If you want to recover quickly, you have to listen to me and drink the medicine! There's Qiao Mei's 100-year-old ginseng inside. It'll be a waste if you don't drink it," Huo Gao said.

"Who says I'm not drinking it!" He Ning snatched the bowl of medicine from Huo Gao and gulped it down. After drinking it, he quickly rinsed his mouth with some water. If he hesitated for even a while longer, he would throw up.

"Next time, can you prepare something that is fit for human consumption? Even if you give this to a dog, it will feel insulted," He Ning complained.

Huo Gao took back the medicine bowl unhappily. He had flipped through ancient books for more than half a year to study the prescriptions! He had finally found the prescription which was most suitable for He Ning, but He Ning did not appreciate it at all! He would give up the position of being He Ning's doctor to anyone who wanted it! He did not want to wait upon He Ning for even one more day.

He Ning did not notice Huo Gao getting annoyed, or rather, it would be more accurate to say that it never crossed his mind to notice such a thing at all.

"Do you know which hospital Tan Jing is at?" He Ning asked as he looked at Huo Gao.

Huo Gao remained silent. He was still angry about what happened just now. He did not care if He Ning criticized him, but he definitely could not accept detrimental comments about his medicine. He Ning even insulted him by saying that even dogs would not drink his concoction!
