Actually, Xia Fang still liked that uncle of hers very much. Putting aside his gambling habit, her uncle was a knowledgeable and passionate person. Every time he came to the house, he would bring gifts and nice food for Xia Fang.
Wu Min was usually busy with housework and Xia Jun was in the army all year round, so only her uncle kept her company. He would bring her to the temple fairs and even let her ride on his shoulder.
Later on, she did not know who led her uncle astray and brought him gambling. From then on, he made one wrong move after another. He only cared about money and no longer cared about his relatives.
Of course, Zhou Hua did not believe this story and she felt that there would definitely be one or two valuable items left behind. She did not believe in the tale of the prodigal uncle.
“Xiao Zhe, if there’s really something, you can’t just keep it for yourself! Everyone should have a share!” Zhou Hua said with a smile.
Xia Zhe looked to the other side and ignored what Zhou Hua said.
Initially, he had no intention of taking it all for himself. He was going to wait for the matter to blow over before giving everything to his grandfather and letting him do the distribution. However, from the looks of it now, there was definitely no benefit in giving it to someone like Third Aunt-in-law. It would only make Third Uncle die faster and even implicate the Xia family.
These things had to wait.
The He family was not having a good time either. The news quickly reached the He family and He Ning was so angry that he could not even eat lunch.
“What a bunch of trash! How can there be nothing under the ground of the Xia family’s house!” He Ning grabbed a vase and threw it to the ground.
His attendant was so frightened that he did not dare to make a sound.
“What the hell is going on!” He Ning said, pointing at his attendant.
“They’ve basically dug four to five meters deep into the ground at the Xia family’s house. They also carefully checked all the places that we suspected, as well as all the remaining spots. But there’s not enough time, so they weren’t able to check carefully. When we go again next time…” said the attendant.
After hearing this, He Ning sat on the sofa weakly and said, “What next time! Will the Xia family allow you to have a next time? Useless things! Forget it, this matter will end here. The same plan won’t work on the Xia family anymore.”
The Xia family still did not know Qiao Mei’s identity, so it was time to give them a big gift.
“Go and find the Liang family and tell them Qiao Mei’s identity. They will understand and thank me when the time comes,” He Ning said with a smile.
“Yes.” The attendant went off to look for the Liang family.

The Liang family was now at a dead end. If the Xia family found out that Qiao Mei was related to them, the Xia family would probably not feel good about it.
After the Cao family stayed in the guest house for an entire day, Old Master Cao could not sit still anymore. As soon as the rain stopped, he brought the entire Cao family back to the wreckage. They were shocked to see that someone had obviously dug through the site.
The Cao family members all rushed into the wreckage to look for their own things. Old Master Cao was the most careful and the luckiest. He quickly found his precious box, but it seemed to have been opened by someone and casually thrown aside.
Old Master Cao opened it carefully and his heart almost stopped beating.
The things inside had long been crushed into pieces and there was nothing left. After the heavy rain, most of the calligraphy and paintings that were hidden at home were also ruined.
“Oh heaven! Why do you do this to me!” Old Master Cao hugged his mahogany box and sat on the ground, crying bitterly.
The people around him also sobbed from time to time. The passers-by all knew what had happened to the Cao family, but no one dared to go forward to take a look. Although the Cao family members were pitiful, they were also hateful people.
After crying for a long time, they still could not find anything useful. The women of the Cao family all returned to the guest house. There was no point in guarding the things in the wreckage as they were all crushed and useless now.
The men of the Cao family all went out to think of ways to find a place to live. They could not keep staying in the guest house as it was not a long-term solution.
Before leaving, the old man took a look at the Xia family’s house. The Xia family could no longer live here as well. It was dug around as much as their side and looked like it could collapse at any time.
However, why was there nothing dug up? Was there really nothing, or did they not dig enough to reach the things?
