After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

It was usual for the Cao family's eldest daughter-in-law to act like a tyrant and order the second daughter-in-law around like she was the maidservant.

Previously, the Cao family's eldest son lived in the front part of the house while the second son lived in the back part. However, the Cao family's eldest daughter-in-law disagreed with the arrangement and went to make a scene in front of Old Master Cao.

She wept and complained about how good her family was to the old man and how they gave him the best things and the nicest food. Yet, they were not rewarded for their efforts and only had a room to stay in.

When the neighbors heard this, they also said that the Cao family's second son and his family were insensible and ungenerous. In the end, all the gossip made the Cao family's second son and second daughter-in-law decide to move out and live on their own.

"The two of you stop arguing. Hurry up and carry on with the digging," Cao Da said angrily.

They had been digging for two days, but they did not manage to find anything in the courtyard. By right, if there was really anything, they would have dug it out long ago. However, even after tearing through the entire house, they still could not find anything.

"Could it be in a corner? If I wanted to hide something, I would definitely put it in a corner and not anywhere else," said the Cao family's second daughter-in-law.

When everyone heard this, they thought she made sense and they all stopped what they were doing. They decided to dig at the corners of the house instead.

"Hey, big brother, how do we split it if we dig up something?" said the Cao family's second daughter-in-law as she looked at Cao Da.

"This..." Cao Da looked at the Cao family's second daughter-in-law, not knowing what to say.

There were only four people in his own family. Other than him and his wife, he also had two sons. The two sons were very young and were unable to help with the digging, so he had no choice but to ask his second brother for help. He did not expect his second brother to be interested in these things as well.

"Big brother, let's be fair about it. We're all children of the Cao family. Whoever digs up something in this courtyard will get ownership of it," said the Cao family's second daughter-in-law.

In any case, it was possible that the Cao family's eldest daughter-in-law would take it away even if it was someone from the other family who dug it out. It would be better to leave it to fate.

"Alright, we'll take your idea. I'll go dig in the east corner and you'll dig in the west. Whoever finds something will get ownership of it," Cao Da said.

Hearing what Cao Da just said, the Cao family's second daughter-in-law felt relieved and agreed with a smile. She hurriedly brought the Cao family's second son to the west side and started digging fervently.

By now, Qiao Mei roughly understood what was going on and slowly pulled back the vines. It turned out that the Cao family had long known that it was highly possible that something was buried in this courtyard.

Qiao Mei also felt a little anxious at this moment. Although she did not covet these things, she did not want to let them fall into the hands of others.

Qiao Mei used her ability again to make the vines grow insanely fast underground to check if the treasure was really there.

Not long after, using the roots of the vines, Qiao Mei found a fairly large box buried very deep underground. There was also another small box buried nearby.

At this moment, the Cao family had not even managed to dig one meter deep. This box was at least at a depth of ten meters.

Qiao Mei quietly pulled the boxes even deeper underground and used excess soil to fill up the empty spaces where the boxes were originally occupying. When the Cao family eventually dug into this spot, they would only feel that the soil here was looser than the surrounding areas, but would not find anything unusual.

By the time she was done, Xia Zhe had come back from buying food. He originally wanted to cook, but after thinking about his experience a few days ago, he decided to go to the small restaurant in the alley to buy a few dishes.

After all, Qiao Mei was pregnant. If the food he made was not delicious, she might go hungry. He was worried about her not getting enough nutrition, as now was the time when she needed nutrition the most.

Xia Zhe had a lot of worries on his mind. Ever since he found out that Qiao Mei was pregnant, he had been very concerned about her safety. He was determined to take care of both her physical and mental health.

When he returned home and did not see Qiao Mei anywhere, he went into the house to search for her and found her looking around while standing on a small stool.

Xia Zhe was so frightened by the sight that he did not dare to make a sound. He was afraid that if he made any sound, he might scare Qiao Mei so much that she fell off the stool. Xia Zhe slowly approached Qiao Mei and gently wrapped his arms around her waist.
