Qiao Mei did not dare to make any sound as she followed closely behind Xia Wen. He sat on a chair at the side of the living room and looked at her. By right, given this was her house, she should take the master seat opposite the main door. However, in the current situation, she did not have the guts to sit there at all.

“Alright, just sit down. I’m not an evil ghoul. Why are you so afraid?” Xia Wen said in a slightly milder tone.

“You’re probably more terrifying than an evil ghoul ” Qiao Mei muttered to herself.

“What did you say?” Xia Wen asked.

“Nothing! I didn’t say anything!” Qiao Mei said quickly.

Qiao Mei sat down on the master seat in fear and trepidation, waiting for Xia Wen to speak. He looked at her hands and asked, “How did you get all these things out yourself?”

“I found a few experts! They have the same skills as our ex-third aunt-in-law. Their ancestors were tomb raiders! That’s why they are able to find all the things that the Du family hid in the old house. I just went to pick up the items. I’m not the one who dug those things up!” Qiao Mei said with a guilty conscience.

Xia Wen was aware that Qiao Mei knew many “experts”. Even if Qiao Mei did not know them herself, Yao Nian would also be able to help Qiao Mei gather these people. He knew how capable Yao Nian was. Moreover, based on the amount of time she took, she could not have done it on her own.

“I know,” Qiao Mei said.

The next day during the day, Qiao Mei stayed inside the warehouse for an entire day! She wanted to make a list of all the items she had in the house. There were too many things now and they needed to be sorted out and stored carefully. If she was not careful, these items might get damaged and the value would drop greatly!

If there was really no other way, she would renovate one of her siheyuan courtyard houses and make it into a store for these treasures. She could then hire a few bodyguards to guard the various rooms. It was something she could well afford to do.

Now that all the family members lived near to one another, they found it troublesome for each family to cook their meals separately. Moreover, the men often went out to socialize or had to work overtime, so they did not come home for meals often. The women could not be bothered to cook at their own homes and decided to gather together to have their meals together.

Qiao Mei bought an even bigger table with a turntable on it! This would make it easy for everyone to help themselves from all the dishes. The only thing was that Xu Kang and Feng Hua had to work hard to cook every day, so Qiao Mei gave each of them an extra 50 dollars per month.

At night, Liu Fen came to Qiao Mei’s house angrily and said with annoyance, “Sister-in-law! Qiao Mei! I’m really going to die from anger because of that little ingrate at home!”

“Second Aunt-in-law, what happened? Why are you so angry?” Qiao Mei asked.

“You don’t say! Didn’t my family’s Xia Yuan just get rid of that vixen and decide to marry that girl from the Zhou family? In the end, just as he’s about to get engaged, Xia You is in trouble now!” Liu Fen said agitatedly.

“Xia You? Although Xia You is quite mischievous, she’s not the kind of person to do anything out of line. What can she have done?” Xu Lan asked.

“What can she do? There are so many things she can do! At this point, I’m not even shy to tell you! She’s actually ?actually having an affair!” Liu Fen said softly.
