Chapter 2112: The Song Family’s Ancestral Home

Qiao Mei did not expect the Song family to also have a hiding spot for treasures. She had thought that the Du family was the “cash cow” and certainly did not expect the Song family to be well-to-do too.

Actually, the Song family did not have much money back in the past, but they had kept all the items passed down from their ancestors in good condition. Back when Old Master Song was so poor that he could not afford to buy food, he remained firm and refused to sell away these items. Old Master Song felt that those things were a representation of the Song family’s roots and that if they were sold, it would be the end of the Song family.

Apart from those items, there were also many gifts from the Du family and other people who wanted to curry favor with Song Dan. As Song Dan was a member of the police force, it was not appropriate for him to furnish his house with such luxurious items, so he kept everything in the Song family’s old house in the countryside.

Previously, there was a distant relative of the Song family who lived in that house and doubled up as a guard. However, that person was old and had since passed away. That house was now dilapidated and was no longer fit to live in. It would probably fall apart with a light touch.

Now that the economy had opened up and it was more liberal than in the past, the government had returned many antiques it seized previously back to the rightful owners. The owners might not get everything back, but anything was better than nothing.

When the Song family saw how the old residences of the He family and the Xia family were dug up earlier, they were also quite scared. However, now that times had changed, they were tempted to retrieve those treasures which were hidden underground.

“Although the Song and Du family members have all been arrested, don’t they have relatives who know about the old house?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Yes, but not many people know about it. Furthermore, this matter involving the Song and Du families has implicated many people. Their relatives are all worried that if they take any action now, they will also get themselves into trouble,” Xia Zhe said.

“What about the government? Doesn’t the government want to confiscate the assets of the Song and Du families?” Qiao Mei continued to ask.

“Right now, the government is going from house to house to return items to the owners. They have enough work to keep them occupied. Besides, the Song family’s items are not valuable enough to attract the government’s attention,” Xia Zhe said.

“That’s great! I’ll go and get those things out now!” Qiao Mei said happily.

“I’ll go with you,” Xia Zhe said worriedly.

Qiao Mei looked at Xia Zhe and immediately said, “I’m not going there myself! How will I be able to find those hiding spots where they buried the items? We need professionals to do these things. I intend to hire someone to do it!”

Qiao Mei definitely could not let anyone know that she had superpowers. She could share everything with Xia Zhe, but not this.

“You  you really don’t blame me for what I did today?” Qiao Mei asked tentatively. After all, it concerned the Xia family’s reputation and she wanted to know what he thought of her now.

“Why should I blame you? I only feel that I haven’t protected you well, causing you to have to take a risk again,” Xia Zhe said self-reproachfully.

“Actually, I have another idea! I want  I want to find a new wife for Third Uncle!” Qiao Mei said.

It was not advantageous to them to let Zhou Hua stay by Xia Guang’s side. Qiao Mei did not want the Xia family to fall apart. It was best when a family was harmonious and united. If she could find a gentle and virtuous wife for Xia Guang, perhaps the relationship between Xia Guang and the Xia family could be mended.

Xia Zhe was stunned to hear that. He did not expect Qiao Mei to have such a plan. However, even if Qiao Mei found Xia Guang a new wife, Xia Guang would not agree to get married. Xia Zhe felt that Zhou Hua still occupied a very big part of Xia Guang’s heart.

“I don’t agree with this idea. Third Uncle doesn’t have a good relationship with our family now. If you bring this up now, it will only make Third Uncle feel disgusted. Let’s put this matter aside for now. In order to apologize to Grandfather, Third Uncle has already chased Zhou  Auntie Zhou out of his house,” Xia Zhe said.

Xia Guang knew very well that if he completely cut ties with the Xia family, he would face a hard time in the capital, or even in the country, in the future. He had been thinking of ways and means to mend the cracks in his relationship with Xia Jun. As Xia Jun had expected, Xia Guang had chased Zhou Hua out of his house.

“Tsk, but Third Uncle is so soft-hearted! Auntie Zhou hasn’t gone far from Third Uncle’s house and still lives in the same neighborhood. Third Uncle doesn’t have much money to begin with, yet he still spends more than 40 dollars a month to pay for Auntie Zhou’s rent!” Qiao Mei said disdainfully.

“Let’s leave it at that for now. As long as she stays in her own lane, we don’t have to do anything to her,” Xia Zhe said.
