Chapter 167

"Pinch yourself and see if it hurts." Wang Qinghe was also shocked by these things...

This square box, about half a meter long and half a meter high, was filled with gold and silver jewelry, as well as jade and gemstones.

Although he had never seen such items before, he knew they were valuable.

Xiao Zhang rubbed his eyes but still found it hard to believe, so he pinched himself hard.

It really hurt!

"Is this actually real?" Xiao Zhang couldn’t take his eyes off the items.

Bai Xiuxiu was equally stunned. If these things were converted into money?

No, even without converting them into money, they were still mesmerizing.

What she was most relieved about was that the person who knew about this was Xiao Zhang, who had worked with her husband in his past life.

He had been a reliable person for half his life.

Still, they needed to be cautious.

The treasure was tempting, but after their initial excitement, the three of them calmed down.

Xiao Zhang waited for Wang Qinghe to speak.

Wang Qinghe thought for a moment: "We’ll still follow our previous agreement and split it seventy-thirty. However, we don’t know the exact value of these items.

If others find out about these things, it would definitely not be good.

Xiao Zhang, let’s estimate the value and split it accordingly."

This was also what Xiao Zhang had in mind.

He was tempted by these items but didn’t expect an exact division!

With so many items, it was already generous of Brother Wang to share any of it with him.

Without hesitation, Xiao Zhang agreed: "I’ll follow your lead, Brother Wang. Let’s do it this way."

In the end, one-third of the contents of the box went to Xiao Zhang.

Even after taking his share, Xiao Zhang still felt dizzy: "Brother Wang, Sister-in-law, I’ll remember this favor.

Whatever you need in the future, just say the word, and I’ll do it for you."

"Go do what you need to do, and stop chatting us up," Bai Xiuxiu said with a smile.

Xiao Zhang packed away his share and left quickly, eager to enjoy his newfound joy alone.

Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe re-packed the remaining items and stored them in Bai Xiuxiu’s space.

"Dad, Mom, Yueyue and brother are hungry." Yueyue ran over from their room, sounding aggrieved.

"I’ll make dinner. Xiuxiu, you and the kids rest for a bit." Wang Qinghe gently placed the children on the bed.

Seeing his wife happily playing with the children, he turned to start cooking.

On the other side, at the Wang household.

Zhou Jiaojiao was furious seeing Wang Qingqi lie down without saying a word upon returning.

"You just lie down as soon as you get back. Can’t you do anything? Don’t you ask how my day was?"

Zhou Jiaojiao’s heart filled with grievance.

Since marrying Wang Qingqi, had she ever had a good life?

Everything she endured today was for their future prosperity.

How could they survive if he continued like this every day?

Wang Qingqi, exhausted from a day’s work, was already in a bad mood when Zhou Jiaojiao started nagging him again.

He felt his anger rising.

He sat up abruptly: "Are you done? What else do you want me to do? Isn’t everything in this house done according to your wishes?"

"Are you yelling at me?" Zhou Jiaojiao couldn’t believe it.

He had promised to always treat her well.

Seeing her distressed look, Wang Qingqi calmed down.

He sighed: "I’m not, I’m just too tired. Tell me what you want to do, dear. Has anyone offended you?"

"No one has offended me, but I have something important to tell you." Zhou Jiaojiao ignored his attitude and whispered about what she saw in the pond.

Wang Qingqi was startled, then ecstatic: "Really? You really saw a chest? And there was a golden lock on it?"

"How could it be false? I’m so lucky. Falling into the water today was strange enough.

That chest must contain something valuable.

Quickly get ready; let’s go retrieve it now. Leaving it in the water is risky.

Today wasn’t just me who fell in; what if they saw it too?"

Zhou Jiaojiao urged her husband to set off quickly.

Wang Qingqi couldn't lie still anymore. Who could sit still after hearing there was gold in the water?

"Alright, let's go now." Wang Qingqi said, pulling his wife out the door.

Liu Xiaoe, who had just moved into a new house, was being scolded by her husband at this moment.

The incident where she caused someone to fall into the water had already reached Wang Qingfu's ears.

Wang Qingfu had been scolding her for quite some time.

Liu Xiaoe kept crying, feeling so wronged that she wanted to die.

"It wasn't my fault. Today, Old Fifth's wife insisted on going with me. If I didn't go, I would have offended her.

Besides, we were going to split the money. I thought it would bring some benefit to our family.

Now that things didn't work out, I'm getting all these complaints.

Old Fifth's wife had bad luck today too. She didn't find anything good.

I'm really cursed!"

Thinking about this, Liu Xiaoe felt regretful.

Wang Qingfu knew it was a good opportunity, but she hadn't told him, clearly intending to keep the money for herself.

What did a woman need private savings for?

Wang Qingfu said coldly, "Stop crying. At least you don't have to pay any money. If she still wants to take you along next time, you can go with her. If not, then stay home.

I won't let you starve.

Your main task is to give me a son. Those two girls make me angry."

Wang Qingfu disliked both of his daughters.

He wished they had never been born.

The parents talking, the two children huddled in the corner of the bed, silent.

When Liu Xiaoe mentioned having a son, she fell silent.

But thinking of Zhou Jiaojiao's words, she felt hopeful: "Qingfu, I think I might be pregnant. Should I go see Uncle Zhang tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Wang Qingfu's face lit up: "Really? Why wait until tomorrow? Go check now. If you are, I'll tell Dad not to let you work anymore."

With that, he took his wife out.

As soon as they stepped out, they saw what looked like Old Fifth and his wife leaving, carrying a thick bag, looking suspicious.

Wang Qingfu stopped: "Wife, do those two look like Old Fifth and his wife?"

"What do you mean 'look like'? That's them. Old Fifth's wife had a big ponytail today. How could I not recognize her?"

Liu Xiaoe was also puzzled. It was almost dinner time, why were they going out?

"Let's follow them and see. Didn't you say you didn't get anything today? I think they're hiding something."
