Qiao Mei took a deep breath and opened the envelope. After reading the documents carefully many times, she pinched her face and screamed excitedly after confirming that this was not a dream. She looked at Xia Wen excitedly and asked, “Is this true? Eldest Brother, you’re not lying to me, right! Is what’s written here for real! I’m not seeing things, am l! Oh my goodness! I like this reward so much!”

“What? What’s the reward! Tell us quickly!” Xia He asked anxiously.

Xia Wen had worked hard to fight for the reward for her this time. Actually, no one in the government could make up their minds about her reward this time, so they all came to ask for Xia Wen’s opinion.

Qiao Mei did not lack money or house or job or medical care or educational qualifications. It could be said that she did not lack anything. This made everyone feel troubled.

The country was still improving steadily and working hard towards better development. They did not have the means to give Qiao Mei a reward that was too extravagant and could only give her something that was within their means.

The government staff gave Xia Wen two options in the end. One option was to choose five pieces of exquisite antiques from the items which the government had confiscated. They heard that Qiao Mei liked antiques and were sure that there must be things which Qiao Mei would like among these items. The other option was to give her those few warehouses in the suburbs.

Qiao Mei had rented the place for half a year some time back and planted a lot of crops there. The government staff guessed that Qiao Mei might like the place and felt that the feng Shui there was good, so they were willing to buy that piece of land and give it to Qiao Mei. That piece of land had been left untouched for many years and it was very cheap. Moreover, given that it was expropriated by the country, the owner sold it very quickly.

Xia Wen had chosen the second option without any hesitation, resulting in this scene of Qiao Mei being so excited at the moment.

“It’s true. You didn’t see wrongly,” Xia Wen said.

After the excitement died down, Qiao Mei began to carefully study the regulations and contents of the document. She asked sternly, “There’s also a courtyard outside that warehouse. Do I only own the warehouse or do I own everything?”

“Everything is yours. The fields outside and all the warehouses are yours,” Xia Wen explained.

“Then can I use these places freely? Can I tear down the warehouses and rebuild them?” Qiao Mei asked cautiously.

“The demarcated area and items listed in the document are now your personal property. You can deal with them however you wish and you can do whatever you want. Even if you want to leave it there untouched, no one can say anything. We’ve already communicated with the local villagers and have marked out the site clearly for you. After a while, the land title deed will be handed over to you,” Xia Wen said seriously.

Qiao Mei was so happy that she could not even close her mouth. This was in the area of the three inner ring roads in the capital! In the future, a house here would cost 100,000 dollars per square meter! This big piece of land belonged to her now! Just thinking about it made her excited. She was filthy rich now! If she built a few buildings there later, she would be able to just sit at home every day and collect rent!

“Thank you, Eldest Brother. I really like this reward so much!” Qiao Mei said.

“I’m glad you like it,” Xia Wen said with satisfaction.

The entire family felt very happy for Qiao Mei. Tonight, Xu Kang had prepared a big table full of sumptuous dishes to celebrate. Everyone was all smiles and even the three children knew that there was a joyous occasion at home and kept running around in the courtyard.

The next day, Qiao Mei brought Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang to the warehouse. She planned to install a fence around the area, preferably one that was much taller than humans, so as to prevent the nearby villagers from stealing crops in the middle of the night.

The warehouses had been in disrepair for a long time. Given the exposure to the winds and the rain, anything inside was either damp or damaged. The location of these warehouses was not very good either, so they needed to be demolished and rebuilt.

After planning how she intended to use the site, Qiao Mei also marked out an area in the corner. This area could be used to build a two-story house. If Qiao Qiang wanted to come here to fish and relax in his later years, he would have a place to stay. This place was close to the mountains and rivers and was quite suitable for retirement. When Qiao Qiang had nothing to do, he could also help with the farming.

After packing up, Qiao Mei drove home. She did not intend to plant too many different types of seeds now. If anyone found out that this batch of crops grew differently from the ones in the village, it would arouse suspicion. She intended to just plant some old seeds on that piece of land..
