415 Searching for Treasure

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s start looking now!” Chu Mei said impatiently.

“Fourth Aunt, before you look for the treasure, you should go to Grandpa’s coffin and offer your respects sincerely. Otherwise, you won’t be able to find it if you’re not sincere,” Chu Ning added.

“I was wondering why your father would come back so eagerly every year. It turns out that he has been eyeing the treasure left by the old man for a long time!” Chu Mei looked at Chu Ning and said with a disgruntled expression.

“That’s right!” Chu Ning said helplessly.

She was even more speechless.

In the eyes of these relatives, Father Chu’s filial piety was only for the sake of that illusory treasure.

“Since that’s the case, let’s hurry in and pay our respects,” the beautiful woman standing beside Chu Yuan said hastily.

Then, she pulled Chu Yuan into the central room. Chu Tao and Chu Mei followed closely behind, afraid that they would miss something.

When they passed by the central room, only Chu Zhe and Chu Yao symbolically greeted their relatives. The rest, including Chu Huan, turned a blind eye to the arrival of these people.

It was obvious that they felt nothing about the existence of their relatives.

The Chu family’s living conditions were not very good, so these relatives hardly had any contact with the Chu family.

However, when Chu Yuan’s eyes met Chu Zhang’s, he was shocked.

Chu Zhang could actually stand up!

One had to know that he had originally planned for Chu Ming to give him custody of Chu Zhang if Chu Ming couldn’t pay back the money he owed him.

He had even prepared more than 2 million just so that Chu Zhang could stand up.

Chu Zhang’s body was fine now, but the key question was, where did the Chu family get the money to treat his illness?

“Could it be that the old man gave a batch of treasures to Chu Ming in advance and asked him to sell them for money to treat Chu Zhang’s illness?” This thought suddenly appeared in Chu Yuan’s mind.

Then, he thought of how Chu Ning had generously returned him a million yuan.

When he thought of that incident, he still felt that he had lost face.

Where did the Chu family get a million yuan?

How could Chu Ning, a young girl who was still in school, have so much money?

As he thought of all the possibilities, Chu Yuan could not help but look at the portrait hanging on the wall.

“Father, you’re so biased! But so what? I’m still the richest; Chu Ming’s entire family can’t compare to me!” Chu Yuan thought resentfully to himself.

This time, his suspicions completely disappeared.

Chu Ning didn’t lie to him. Old master Chu really did leave a bunch of valuable treasures in his hometown.

After the farewell rituals, Chu Mei could not wait to stand up.

“Second Brother, I don’t care how much money Dad gave you when he was still alive. But now that he has passed away, you’d better not think about pocketing this inheritance for yourself. There’s a share for Big Brother, Third Brother, and me too.” Chu Mei looked at Chu Zhang and sneered at Father Chu.

She understood clearly how poor Chu Ming’s family was.

If they wanted to cure Chu Zhang, Mr. And Mrs. Chu wouldn’t be able to afford it even if they worked hard their entire lives.

“Second Brother, as you know, I just bought a house in the center of M City. In the past year, the mortgage has been so much that I can’t breathe. My salary is not high either. Second Brother, you can’t take all the money for yourself,” Chu Tao also sighed and said feebly.

If Chu Jing hadn’t told him that there were still treasures in his hometown, he wouldn’t have asked for leave to return.

“Chu Ming, you heard that? Our four families will each get a share. It’s very fair,” Chu Yuan’s wife likewise echoed from the side.

Although her family didn’t lack money, no one would complain about having more money.

“Sister-in-law, don’t listen to Xiao Ning’s nonsense. Dad didn’t leave anything behind before he left. I didn’t even get to see him one last time because I couldn’t make it in time.” Chu Ming’s heart was filled with sorrow.

He hadn’t expected that his brothers’ and sister’s primary focus would be on the so-called ‘treasure’ after returning.

This was just an excuse that Chu Zhe made up, but with Chu Ning’s careful planning, the credibility of the story increased.

Father Chu didn’t understand why Chu Ning did this.

However, he had to step out and explain it clearly.

“Second Brother, you’re being boring. I’ve already said so much, but you’re still trying to cover it up. Don’t blame us for showing no mercy.” Chu Mei’s face darkened after hearing Father Chu’s explanation.

“That’s right, Second Brother. You don’t want us to go to court because of this, do you?” Chu Tao looked at Chu Ming with a troubled expression.
