Chapter 1217 - 1217 Fake

1217 Fake

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Tan Bao said with a flushed face.

“What do you mean by I am talking nonsense? If you have done something, how can you disallow others from talking about it? Will I want to slander you if you haven’t done anything? We’re both sons of the Tan family and we must get the same amount! Otherwise, no one can get any money!” Tan Hu said angrily.

Tan Bao was not as muscular as Tan Hu. If Tan Hu lost his temper, a casual punch from him would be enough to make Tan Bao fall flat on the ground. Tan Bao would rather hide than offend Tan Hu. Anyway, there were only three sons in their family. Tan Shi was in school and out of town, so they would just leave him out. The two older brothers decide that they would split the money only between the two of them.

“Don’t kick up a fuss here. If you continue to make a fuss, I’ll drink that ‘divine medicine’ once we get it! There’ll be nothing for either of you!” Tan Bo said angrily.

The two brothers stopped talking. There was nothing more important than money. Furthermore, it was not good to makeTan Bo angry. If anything should happen to him, they would lose his substantial retirement pension and they would run out of money to pay for all the family expenses.

As soon as there was a sound outside the door, everyone in the house raised their heads and looked out eagerly. When they saw Jiang Yi coming back with all the things intact, they knew that the matter was not a done deal. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Mom, didn’t you go to the Xia family’s house?” Tan Bao asked anxiously.

“I did! And almost got my head bitten off!” Jiang Yi put down her things and looked at Tan Jing, who was sitting quietly on the brick bed. She pointed at Tan Jing and scolded, “Why did I give birth to a useless thing like you! Why can’t you have children!”

At that moment, everyone understood why Jiang Yi had failed. Tan Yue also did not look too happy. She also felt uncomfortable seeing Qiao Mei being so blissful. She should be the one sitting there…

“Then what should we do! I’ve already spoken to my clients! That I’ll definitely be able to get the ‘divine medicine’. People are all waiting for it!” Tan Bao said.

“Who asks you to go around telling everyone!” Jiang Yi said angrily.

“Then… how about we produce a few bottles of fake medicine? Doesn’t everyone say that the Xia family has not given the medicine to anyone else? They have not sold the medicine as well, so no one knows what this ‘divine medicine’ tastes like. We just need to make it green in color!” Tan Hu said.

This was a very good idea. Moreover, Tan Jing had seen the actual thing before. They could just keep trying. Even if they could only manage to produce just one bottle of fake medicine, it would be good enough for them!

“You! Do you still remember what that ‘divine medicine’ looks like?” Tan Hu asked as he pointed at Tan Jing.

“I do, but you won’t be able to reproduce it. That green color is different from the normal shades,” Tan Jing said calmly.

They did not believe it! The family juiced all the green vegetables they could find and tried mixing the juices with water one by one, but they still failed in the end.

“This one won’t do! That one won’t do either! What else do we have to do!” Tan Bao said angrily.

“How about… let’s go and steal it,” Tan Hu said in a low voice.

“Steal? How? Do you know where Qiao Mei keeps the medicinal wine? Even if we want to steal it, we must have a way!” Tan Yue said dejectedly.

“Idiot! Qiao Mei isn’t at her own home now and she’s the only one who knows how to make this thing. It must be kept at her own house! Tan Jing has gone to her house before! She can draw us a map and we can search for it room by room. Surely we’ll be able to find it,” Tan Hu said confidently.

Tan Yue still felt that this plan was not workable. Qiao Mei occupied the front yard, but there was still Qiao Qiang and the others living in the backyard! How could they not be able to spot a thief?

This was a very stupid plan. It was no different from tempting fate.

“It’s not like there’s no one at her house. How do we go in to steal it?” Tan Bao said.

“You coward! I’m asking you if you dare to come with me! If you aren’t! Then none of you can even dream about getting a share of the money!” Tan Hu said angrily.

If he managed to steal it, he would be able to enjoy endless wealth! If he failed, he would at most be jailed for five to six years. It was that not big a deal.

“I’ll do it! Brother, I’ll go with you!” Tan Bao said agitatedly.

Tan Yue remained quiet. She was a woman and did not know how to steal things. She could still help out if they wanted to replicate something, but she had her children to take care of and could not take any further risk.

She was only short of money now and it was not a big deal. However, if she was arrested, her mother-in-law might find a new wife for Zhou Nan! She could not accept her children acknowledging someone else as their mother.

She would rather be with her children than get a share of the money.
