Xia Jun nodded appreciatively. It was true that back then, Wu Min did not prepare a will to indicate how she wanted to deal with those things. She only gave verbal instructions that she wanted to hand them over to Xia Zhe. He felt very gratified that Qiao Mei was willing to resolve this matter peacefully but at the same time, he also felt that he was shortchanging Xia Zhe’s family.

“Elder Brother, is it safe to dig the things out now?” Qiao Mei asked Xia Wen.

“There’s no issue now. Many families who handed over their antiques to the authorities already had their stuff returned to them,” Xia Wen said.

Qiao Mei had already shifted all the things into the backyard, so it was easy to arrange for people to go and dig them out. No one would gossip about it.

She had to get moving on this matter immediately. Otherwise, if there were any missing boxes overnight, she would not be able to explain herself. Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang found a few more burly men to help out and it did not take long for them to dig out more than 10 boxes of different sizes. At the end of it, there were a total of 18 boxes.

“Sister-in-law, all the boxes are here,” Da Zhuang said.

“Alright, all of you can go next door to wash up near the car porch,” Qiao Mei said as she waved her hand.

Qiao Mei had bought the siheyuan courtyard house next door a long time back. She had done some slight adjustments to the layout and constructed a huge bathhouse, with separate areas for male and female. In addition, she had installed the latest water heating device in the market. Even in the cold winter, any one of them could enjoy a hot shower anytime. They no longer needed to boil water manually!

Da Zhuang, Xiao Zhuang, the chauffeurs, Feng Hua and the other helpers all lived in this house now. They each had their own room and they lived together like a family.

Qiao Mei did not let them stay there for free. She charged them market rent and deducted the amount from their salaries. None of them minded the arrangement. After all, their salaries were much higher than what other people could get.

“How do we know that this is all? Who knows if there’s still more stuff underground!” Shao Yin said.

Xia He glared fiercely at Shao Yin. These things would not catch Qiao Mei’s eyes at all! There were so many more nice things overseas! Qiao Mei had seen all kinds of things!

Qiao Mei did not care about that and just said nonchalantly, “Alright, everything is here. You can all take your share. Oh right, these things should be worth a lot of money on the market. Once you take your share, that means you should have money to return to Elder Brother. I know many antique shop owners. I can ask them to come over and appraise the items.”

Xia Wen and Xia He chuckled quietly. No wonder Qiao Mei was willing to take the initiative to dig out all these things from underground. So this was what she was waiting for! She had a legitimate reason to dig out everything that was buried underground, yet the things would not fall into the hands of these unschooled people in the second and third branch families. In addition, Xia Wen would be able to get compensated for his losses.

Killing three birds with one stone! How impressive!

Xia Jun stood up and knocked on a few boxes with his walking stick, saying, “Open them.”

These boxes were all opened up. Most of the items were antiques, calligraphy and paintings. The most eye-catching ones were the two boxes which contained gold bars. When Shao Yin saw the two boxes of gold bars, she could not take her eyes off them.

Most of the items were actually not worth much money and only people who liked them would pay a high price for them. These gold bars were equivalent to real cash, so everyone’s attention was on them.

Qiao Mei immediately called up three antique shop owners and asked them to come over and appraise the items together. In the end, they concluded that the items were worth 2.3 million dollars in total. Xia Wen took out a ledger and noted down the value of all the items.

“Alright, we have a clear idea of the value of the items now. Grandfather, you should be the one to decide on how we distribute them,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia Jun asked the helpers to bring the items to him one by one. Once he decided, he gave instructions for each branch family’s items to be stacked together. The members of the eldest and second branch families did not have any objections to this. The members of the eldest branch family did not care about getting these things since they were already doing well for themselves. The members of the second branch family placed more value on the connections which Xia Wen and Qiao Mei could give them. Although these things were worth a lot of money to their family, the eldest branch family’s help and influence were much more important to them.

“WIth regard to the third branch family, there’s only your father’s family and your family. These things should be split between your two families,” Xia Jun said as he looked at Xia Xing and Shao Yin.

Shao Yin looked at the things on the ground and said agitatedly, “This is so unfair! These things are worthless!”

Shao Yin had already married into the Xia family for a long while now and had learned to recognize which items were valuable and which were not. It was obvious that the pile of things in front of Qiao Mei was of much better quality than what they had and the quantity was also much greater!

“Remember this! If it’s not because Qiao Mei is generous enough to share these things with you, you won’t even get a single cent! Don’t put on an act after already getting benefits!” Xia Jun said.

“If not for her keeping everything for herself and refusing to take them out! Our family won’t be in such dire straits! My elder sister would not have been tricked! My maternal family and I would not be so down and out now!” Shao Yin shouted agitatedly.

Qiao Mei shook her head resignedly. It looked like a person’s real nature would not change so easily. A piece of trash would always be a piece of trash. Even if it looked nicer now, it was still a piece of trash.
