After cleaning up the place, Qiao Mei planted one seed first. She wanted to see what kind of vegetables could be grown in this soil and also to check out what the other neighbors were planting at their houses It would not be a good thing to grow vegetables that did not suit the current season since that would attract unwanted attention.

The next-door neighbor grew cabbages and it seemed to be growing well. Most of the neighbors grew potatoes and some people grew carrots. The crops were all growing well! Eh? Wait… what was this?

The plant roots which Qiao Mei was controlling had hit an unknown object in the ground right under the storeroom in her house. The roots could only detect a rectangular object that looked like a box, but could not see what was inside,

This successfully piqued Qiao Mei’s curiosity. Anything buried underground must be a treasure! Or some amazing big secret!

However, it was broad daylight now. If she really dug out a big box in the courtyard, it would inevitably alarm the people around them. She did not know the full backgrounds of all the helpers at home yet, so it would be difficult to guard against them if they had other intentions.

Qiao Mei planted the seeds which Butler Xu bought. She did everything in a normal manner and did not give these seeds too much energy. Although Auntie Wang and the others had lived in the capital for a long time, they had also lived in Country M for a long time. Qiao Mei had to keep a low profile in order to avoid arousing their suspicion. Once this batch of vegetables matured, she could lie and say that she had cultivated some new varieties of seeds.

At night, they had a very simple meal. There was no meat at all. This was the result of the discussion Qiao Mei had with the three helpers. Once they survived this difficult period, they could eat anything they wanted in the future!

After everyone fell asleep, Qiao Mei tiptoed to the storeroom. She threw some seeds into the ground and kept infusing energy into them to accelerate their growth. She wrapped the roots tightly around the box underground and slowly pulled it up.

Qiao Mei switched on the flashlight and carefully observed the box on the ground. This box looked quite old and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a product of the last century. What exactly was inside?

She was not that rash. After all, she was not sure what was inside. If it was something flammable or an explosive, the entire house would turn to ashes. Or if there was some kind of biochemical weapon inside, the entire city would fall into panic.

Qiao Mei put on some gloves and gently touched the exterior of the box. The butterfly mark on her chest burned slightly and she could clearly see what was inside,

There were colorful gems, shiny gold bars and countless jewels and diamonds!

“Oh my goodness… I’m rich…” Qiao Mei squatted on the spot and muttered to

herself.

She did not expect happiness to appear so suddenly. The matter of money could finally be resolved! With these things, she could buy all the villas around here, let alone one shop!

Where should she keep so many treasures of unknown origin? For a moment, Qiao Mei did not know what to do. In the end, she decided to bring it back to the bedroom first. It was safest to keep it right under her nose!

Across the courtyard, there was an ancient tree that was probably about 300 years old. It was like the representative of this town. Qiao Mei went to the tree early the next morning. She gently stroked the ancient tree and whispered, “I’m sorry, I have to take a look at your memories.”

Qiao Mei kept searching through the memories of the ancient tree for information about the origin of this box. Finally, she found some clues. It turned out that the original occupants of this house were a wealthy couple in business who were in hiding. They were being pursued by their enemies and eventually came to live here incognito. It was inconvenient for them to bring out their treasures, so they buried everything underground. Later on, they died without any descendants, so this box remained buried.

Before Qiao Mei walked away, she infused some energy into the ancient tree to make it stronger. Since the treasures she dug out yesterday were legal and legit, she could use them without any worries.

Behaving in a mysterious manner, Qiao Mei brought Xia He to the jewelry trading center. Before they entered, Xia He quickly held Qiao Mei back and said, “Are you crazy! This is a jewelry center! Are you going in to buy jewelry?”

“Of course not. Aren’t we out of money? I’m here to encash some,” Qiao Mei said softly.

“No! Those jewelry of yours are all very expensive and you like them so much. Why are you selling them? Our family hasn’t reached the point where we can’t afford to survive! Let’s think of another way,” Xia He said..
