The next night, Shen Qingli and Meng Xiao were snuggling together in bed watching a drama. This time, it was a military drama. She found that since she had been with Meng Xiao, she had particularly liked military dramas.
The tablet was showing soldiers displaying their equipment for a drill. The more Meng Xiao watched, the brighter his eyes became, and he wanted to get into the screen to find out what was going on.
Seeing that he liked it, Shen Qingli searched for videos showing military equipment.
Meng Xiao's eyes widened, and there was even a glint in his eyes:
"After several decades, our motherland has become so powerful?
If the old man saw these equipment, he would be envious.”
Shen Qingli echoed:
"Don't tell me, don't tell me. If the old man and his generation had these equipment back then, they would have been able to attack Beijing! They would have bombed our hometown!"
“That’s great, that’s great!”
For a moment, he didn't know what adjective to use to express his excited and indescribable mood at the moment.
Shen Qingli held his hand tightly, she understood.

Meng family
"So, what you're saying is that there's a rumor out there that my Meng family has a miraculous life-saving elixir that can prolong life?"
The expressions on the Meng family's faces were very solemn at this moment.
Two groups of people have come to visit today, but they didn’t bring up anything. The old man was a little confused, so he asked Lin Feng to investigate what was going on.
Lin Feng was still hesitant to speak, and the old man pinched his eyebrows tiredly:
"Just say what you want to say."
"This news started spreading outside after the Third Master went to the Liu family."
Lin Feng didn't say anything else, and everyone understood.
"Meng Jianye!" Old Meng's chest was heaving with anger. The third brother was going to put the Meng family on the fire!
The old man was also furious. Suddenly he remembered something and reached into his cotton-padded jacket pocket. Sure enough, it was empty.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
When the Meng family saw the old man's reaction, they didn't know what had happened again.
"Before Xiao left, he gave me a few small bottles and told me to drink one every few days. I took a sip this morning and couldn't bear to finish it, so I put it in my pocket.
Then, while I was taking a walk, a child ran into me. It must have been someone hired by the Liu family! They took the child away from me! Isn’t the old man from the Liu family too sick to get up?
The old man was extremely upset at the moment. Why did he become so careless?
"What did Brother Xiao leave for you? Is it of great use?" Meng Jianjun asked.
"Xiao Ge'er said that this medicine is very diluted, so it's not as effective as the one I drank in the hospital, but after taking a sip, I felt refreshed all over."
"If there was no such thing as the medicine, we could have denied it or said we didn't have it anymore. But if it was really taken away by someone hired by the Liu family, then our original explanation to the hospital was unique and has been lost. If this gets out, everyone will definitely think we're not telling the truth and that we definitely still have it."
Meng Jianjun analyzed calmly.
"Call Brother Xiao and tell him."
"It's not too late to fight tomorrow morning. They should go to bed now. It's night time and Qingli is pregnant. Don't startle her and make her worry."
The old man raised his hand to stop Meng Jianjun from dialing the phone. One night is not a big deal.
"Whether people are in their prime or old age, everyone is afraid of old age, sickness and death. The Liu family knows that they will never get the medicine, so they simply set up the Meng family and force them to give it to them, so that they can reap the benefits when necessary.
Although I have fought with Mr. Liu all my life, I know him well enough to know him well enough to disdain such a thing.
Only Liu Su is so cunning and treacherous; he really has a good plan!"
The old man analyzed the matter thoroughly. Then he remembered that it was all because of Meng Jianye, and he beat his chest and stamped his feet in anger.
"The third brother is confused!"
Lin Feng was silent for a while, then said, "Now we can only pray that the bottle of potion was just accidentally lost. If it was really taken away by someone from the Liu family, then we really need to think carefully about how to deal with it."
———
The old man's analysis was correct. It was indeed Liu Su who sent someone to scam the old man. He hadn't held much hope, but he didn't expect that he would actually get a bottle of medicine.
He sent it for testing as soon as he got it. The results were as he expected, and it was indeed beneficial to the body. However, just like the Meng family's case, many ingredients were not detected. He gave it to Mr. Liu to drink as soon as possible.
"What did you give me to drink?"
Old man Liu's voice was weak. He hadn't eaten properly for half a month. He vomited after eating. He relied on intravenous drips every day, and his health was getting worse day by day.
He vomited every time he drank water and had tried many folk remedies, but he didn't expect that after drinking the two sips of water Liu Su just brought him, not only did he not vomit, but he also felt warm in his stomach and felt very comfortable.
He suddenly felt a good appetite and wanted to eat.
"It's the potion. How do you feel, Dad?"
"I want to eat."
"Bring a bowl of porridge to the old man. Quick!" Although his voice was still weak, Liu Su felt that he had more strength than before.
He opened the door and shouted for someone to bring him food, ecstatic.
He is not like Meng Jianye, that bastard who doesn't even recognize his father. Liu Su has only one father, and the old man is the pillar of the Liu family. He must hope that he lives a long life.
The Liu family's nanny quickly brought over a bowl of rice porridge.
Liu Su personally held the bowl and spoon to feed the old man lying on the bed. The more he fed, the more surprised he became, and the bigger the smile on his face became.
Normally, the old man would vomit bile within half a minute of eating something, but now he drank a bowl of rice porridge and there was nothing wrong with him.
The porridge is almost finished, and the old man is still not satisfied.
"Don't drink anymore, Dad. You haven't eaten for a long time. You can't eat too much at once."
The old man smacked his lips. "Potion, not bad. Where did you get it?"
Liu Su hesitated and stammered, "Meng family's potion."
As expected, the old man was so angry that he wanted to raise his hand to hit him, but he dropped it halfway because he had no strength.
"You want me to lose face in front of Meng Dahai? If you ask the Meng family for medicine, I might as well die. Who knows how that old man would laugh at me at home!"
"It doesn't matter whose medicine it is, as long as it works for you. Look, you couldn't eat for more than half a month, you had no strength and couldn't speak, but now you can raise your hand to hit me and speak such a long paragraph!
Besides, I had someone steal the potion, and the Meng family doesn’t know about it.”
As Liu Su was talking, he blurted out how the potion came about.
"You stole it! That old fox Meng Dahai, won't he figure out that it was you who stole it? You're going to piss me off to death!"
The old man had taken his medicine and eaten some food, and now he had some strength, so he could curse more vigorously.
He pointed at Liu Su with trembling fingers.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
