Chapter 2203: Fake Medicine Killed Someone

Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Wen and Qiao Mei went to the main door together. There were already many neighbors gathered outside, all here to watch the drama!

“They are from the Bian family,” Qiao Mei turned her head and said to Xia Wen. Qiao Mei had spotted Bian Ke in the crowd with her head lowered.

Before Xia Wen could ask anything, the Bian family members started wailing. “Father! You died so tragically! You died an unjust death!”

“Father! We will definitely avenge you! Go in peace! We will definitely ask the Xia family for an explanation!”

More than 10 Bian family members gathered at the door and wept very loudly. More and more people gathered around to watch. If the Bian family members continue to wail in this manner, even the neighbors 10 miles away would hear of this!

“Why are you crying at my house if Old Master Bian has died?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.

“It’s all because of you! You’re the reason why my father died! My father passed away after eating your family’s ginseng! We had a doctor take a look at it! The ginseng you gave my family is poisonous! You poisoned my father to death!” Bian Jian pointed at Qiao Mei and said firmly.

Qiao Mei looked at Xia Wen. This definitely had nothing to do with her. Besides, what good would it do her to poison Old Master Bian? These people from the Bian family were not even worthy of carrying her shoes!

“If I remember correctly, Old Master Bian is already 86 years old this year. No one has seen him since he moved to your house four years ago. He can’t even make his way downstairs. It’s already very surprising that he has stayed alive until now,” Xia Wen said as he stared at Bian Jian.

Everyone in the Bian family broke out in a cold sweat. They did not expect Xia Wen to know so much about their family. They did not even know Old Master Bian’s age this year, nor did they know how long it had been since Old Master Bian went downstairs to bask in the sun. They only knew that as long as Old Master Bian was alive, they would continue to have money!

“Even if my father can’t go downstairs! At least he’s still alive! My fourth brother’s grandson is about to be born! My father could have enjoyed the joys of family life! Four generations together! But because of you! My father died tragically! You have to give my family an explanation!” Bian Jian said.

“You said that you asked a doctor to take a look. Which doctor?” Qiao Mei asked.

Old Mr. Sun walked forward and said, “Young friend, long time no see. The Bian family asked me to take a look and it’s indeed a fake ginseng.”

If Old Mr. Sun said so, then it must be true. There must be a misunderstanding! Or rather, someone had planned this! This matter must be investigated thoroughly!

“Let’s call the police then!” Qiao Mei said as she looked at the Bian family members.

The Bian family members were stunned. They only wanted to come to the Xia family to ask for a favor or a huge amount of compensation. If this matter got blown up, then they would get less benefits! In that case, Old Master Bian’s death would not be worth it anymore!

“Why? Your family feels guilty and doesn’t dare to call the police?” Qiao Mei asked mockingly.

“Of course not! Our family has a clear conscience!” Bian Cui shouted agitatedly.

“That’s good.” Qiao Mei called Da Zhuang over and said, “Go and help the Bian family report the case to the police now. Tell them… that I sold fake medicine and poisoned someone! At the same time, help me make a police report and say that they framed me.”

Da Zhuang immediately understood what Qiao Mei meant. He quickly rode his bicycle to the nearby police station to report the case. The Bian family members were puzzled as to why Qiao Mei was so calm and wanted to report the case in such a manner. Selling fake medicine and killing someone was something that could get the death penalty! It was not a small matter!

“The weather is so hot. Come in and talk. We can have a chat inside,” Qiao Mei said.

“No! Who knows if we can still come out alive after entering the house!” Bian Cui said.

“I’m not a man-eating tiger, so why would I take your lives? If you’re worried, then we can get the district director to come in with you and act as a witness. When the time comes, he can write a summary of this matter on a poster and post it on the bulletin board! To give the neighbors an explanation,” Qiao Mei said.

Bian Jian and Bian Guo looked at each other. If this continued outside, they would definitely get a heatstroke. They agreed with what Qiao Mei said.

“All of you… Are all your family members at my door? Look at that! You’re really all here! The Old Master doesn’t have any family members at his wake. How pitiful!” Qiao Mei said derisively.

All the Bian family members blushed. All they could think of was to come to Qiao Mei’s place to demand an explanation and they had completely forgotten about handling Old Master Bian’s funeral.

Bian Jian said softly, “We have people there! It’s none of your business!”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. No matter who those people are, they are still not his own children. This is such an eye-opener for me,” Qiao Mei said.

Everyone viewed matters of life and death with great importance. Even if a person had done many evil deeds during his lifetime, people would usually let it be after his death. Everyone would show some respect for the deceased.
