627 Eating Grapes

“This house is not bad,” He Ning praised.

“It’s all thanks to you,” Xia Wen said mockingly.

If He Ning had not made an anonymous report saying that they had hidden away cultural relics and then hired a bunch of people to dig up the house until it was unrecognizable, why would they need to renovate the house?

He Ning did not feel embarra.s.sed at all. He was a person who would admit frankly what he had done and firmly deny what he had not done.

It could be considered one of He Ning’s very few strengths.

“Are you here just to take a look at my brother’s house?” Xia Wen asked.

“No, I’m here to give you a settlement,” He Ning said as he sat at the stone table.

Xia Wen had been waiting for this day for a long time. He thought that He Ning would endure it for a few more days until there was too much work for him to handle before appearing. He did not expect He Ning to not have the patience.

It seemed that he had overestimated He Ning.

“Are you going to deal with He Mei yourself or leave her to us?” Xia Wen said.

“We plan to send He Mei to rebuild the village at Lan Gu. What do you think?” He Ning probed.

What he meant by “rebuild the village” was actually a scheme to send the educated young people in the city to the countryside to train them up, and to let them understand the hards.h.i.+ps of the farmers and experience that every grain of rice was not easy to come by. Then, they were also supposed to bring the knowledge and technology developed in the city to the countryside and let the countryside know how exciting the outside world was.

Currently, there was still the policy to “rebuild the villages”. In another three years, this policy would be completely sc.r.a.pped. If He Mei was not allowed to go now, she would never have the chance to go and get trained up.

“Lan Gu, that’s such a good place. You’re really willing to part with her,” Xia Wen said with a smile.

It was rumored that as He Ning had no children, He Mei was the person he doted on the most among the kids of the next generation. However, at the current moment, Xia Wen did not feel that He Ning liked her that much.

That place was cold and remote. If traveling by the mountain road, one would have to walk more than 10 kilometers. There might even be no road. One had to go through a ropeway between the two valleys to reach the other side.

It was difficult to make a phone call there. If one wanted to send something, they could only do it on a yearly basis. The mountains were dangerous and no one was willing to take that kind of risk.

Most importantly, that place was neither within the He family’s sphere of influence nor the Xia family’s. He Mei could only rely on herself to survive there.

“She has to pay the price for her mistakes. I just don’t know if you’ll be satisfied with this arrangement?” He Ning said calmly.

“Is she going alone or bringing someone with her?” Xia Wen asked.

“On her own. Our He family won’t interfere in this matter,” He Ning replied seriously.

It seemed that what He Ning said this time was not fake. Then it was not impossible to deal with this matter like this. After all, He Mei did not really hurt Qiao Mei and her crime was not punishable by death.

He Ning had long discovered the grapes planted in the courtyard, but had been too embarra.s.sed to say anything. Now that they were done with the main topic, he decided to talk about something else.

“These grapes are not bad.”

“Thank you.”

“It smells so good and looks good. It’s even better than the ones sold outside.”

“Thank you.”

“…”

No matter what He Ning said, Xia Wen’s only answer was to say thank you. Previously, he had heard Xia He complain to him that He Ning shamelessly insisted on eating Qiao Mei’s cooking at home. Now, it appeared that he was eyeing the grapes at their house.

Huo Gao stood at the side and looked at He Ning in shock. He had thought that staying at the Xia family house to eat was already the limit of He Ning’s shamelessness. He did not expect him to be even more shameless.

“Aren’t you going to treat me to some grapes?” He Ning said calmly.

The corners of Xia Wen’s mouth twitched slightly. He Ning really would not give up until he achieved his goal.

“Sure… hang on…” Xia Wen said through gritted teeth.

Xia Wen reluctantly went to the grapevine to pluck a bunch of the smallest grapes and placed them in front of He Ning. He Ning did not treat himself as an outsider at all and even asked Huo Gao to get some well water to wash them.

Since He Ning was so thick-skinned, Huo Gao could not be thin-skinned. He silently washed the grapes and placed them in front of He Ning.

“Where did you put my flowers?” He Ning asked as he looked around.

“What do you mean by your flowers? When did we take your flowers?” Xia Wen looked at He Ning in confusion.

Could it be that there was something wrong with his brain after eating grapes?

Why was he eyeing their flowers everywhere he went? The last time he had already gotten his way on buying the cactus or something from their house, but now he actually wanted to plunder Qiao Mei’s courtyard.
