Persuading Her to Go Up the Mountain

"How about this? When grandfather comes back, I'll get him to bring you guys into the mountains to look for it. There's indeed no more ginseng at home. If the heavens favor you, you might be able to find it!" Qiao Mei said.

They did not want to wait for the old master to come back. If Qiao Qiang came back, he would only beat them up with a big stick and would not let them stay for so long.

Being at their wits' end, they did not believe that Qiao Mei really did not have any ginseng left.

"You also know how your grandfather treats us. He won't bring us along. What kind of ginseng do you have now?" Liang Lan probed.

"Didn't I just say that I don't have anything," Qiao Mei said with a smile.

The Liang siblings definitely did not believe her. They had even seen Qiao Qiang stewing a big goose with ginseng roots last night. Could it be that he had only dug up ginseng roots!
