Seeing this, Xia Wan slowly walked forward to Qiao Qiao's side, who was lying on the ground. Then, without hesitation, she raised her foot and firmly placed it on Qiao Qiao's chest.

"You have the nerve to be angry after reaping what you sowed? Isn't all of this your own fault, and you deserve what you got? You should know that heaven is watching what people do!"

All the evil deeds you have committed in the past will eventually be punished, and this small punishment is just the beginning!

"Have you forgotten what kind of shady dealings you did before you went to the countryside?"

Xia Wan's sharp, hawk-like gaze was fixed on her, while he slowly increased the force of his footing, like a beast about to pounce on its prey.

As the pressure increased, Qiao Qiao's face grew paler and paler as she was being trampled on, and she struggled to breathe, like a fish out of water.

However, Xia Wan showed no pity whatsoever, and only loosened her grip slightly when the other person was nearly unconscious.

"What...what do you know?" At this moment, Qiao Qiao was no longer the arrogant person she used to be. Her pupils contracted slightly, and her face showed an undisguised look of panic. Her voice trembled with fear.

Xia Wan's beautiful face was now filled with an unfathomable expression. Her sharp, eagle-like eyes stared directly at the person in front of her as she coldly said, "I know a lot of things, so you'd better not mess with me."

After saying that, Xia Wan didn't even glance at Qiao Qiao's terrified expression, and walked straight past her without hesitation, heading home.

As soon as she stepped into her house, Xia Wan rushed back to her little house like a bird returning to its nest. Once inside, she quickly took out the mysterious iron box from her spatial storage and carefully opened it.

The moment the lid was lifted, a musty smell wafted out. However, Xia Wan's gaze was fixed on the items inside the box.

Even with just a fleeting glance, she couldn't help but gasp – this place was filled with priceless treasures!

Especially those things she had been looking for but couldn't find at the scrap yard, like large yellow croakers, small yellow croakers, and jade pendants, she had now obtained them all.

No wonder Old Lady Xia and her group were able to send money to the capital so readily; it turns out they had such a large quantity of valuable items in their possession.

But how exactly did these things end up in their hands? This mystery left Xia Wan completely baffled.

However, Xia Wan didn't dwell on it too much at the moment. She hugged the iron box tightly and hurriedly went straight to her father's room.

"Old Xia, come and see the good stuff I brought you!" When she pushed open the door, she saw her father and brother sitting together in the room talking about something.

Without hesitation, she gently placed the heavy iron box on the kang table.

With a slight scraping sound, the iron box was slowly opened. In that instant, Xia Jianguo and his son stared wide-eyed, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an egg, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Xiao Wan, where did you get this?" Xia Tao stared at the iron box in front of him, dumbfounded, as if he had been frozen in place. He even involuntarily reached out and carefully took out one of the pieces, then put it to his mouth and took a small bite.

In contrast, Xia Jianguo appeared slightly calmer, but only after the initial surprise.

He quickly came to his senses, a half-smile playing on his lips, and asked jokingly, "Girl, did you go treasure hunting in the mountains again?"

At this moment, Xia Wan's mood was as bright as the sunshine, and she couldn't hide her smugness no matter what.

She giggled, her voice clear and melodious: "Hehe, Daddy, you're wrong! This is even more enjoyable than digging for treasure in the mountains! But, even if you rack your brains, you probably still won't figure out where I got all these treasures!"

Xia Jianguo shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of affection for his daughter, and smiled as he cooperated, saying, "You little rascal, you're actually playing suspense with us. Stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly, how did you get these things?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Wan's gaze lingered on her father for a moment, then shifted to her brother, before she finally spoke with a grin, "Hmph, serves you right for being so curious! The truth will definitely give you a shock! All these things of mine came from Grandma Xia! I happened to see them when I went out just now..."

Xia Wan recounted her experiences to the two of them in great detail, leaving out no detail. She especially emphasized the incident of Old Lady Xia falling down and asserted that it would probably take her quite some time before she could get out of bed and walk again.

However, this minor injury was far from enough for Xia Wan. Simply having Old Lady Xia rest in bed for a while was far from what she desired. She secretly vowed to make sure those old folks would never get out of bed again!

At this moment, Xia Tao exclaimed in surprise, "Where did they get so much gold?"

When he heard that the gold actually belonged to Old Lady Xia, his expression was even more astonished than before.

For a long time, he had always believed that the Xia family had lived off his and his father's wages, but he never expected that they would be so wealthy and well-off.

Although this gold cannot be used directly as money, it could certainly be exchanged for a considerable sum of money if it were taken to the black market.

With this wealth, the Xia family could live a life of comfort and ease without having to do any work.

Xia Jianguo, standing to the side, also looked astonished, completely unaware that the Xia family possessed such a vast fortune. So, where did all this gold and silver treasure come from?

And the two jade pendants in this box are obviously very valuable. Although they are worthless in this era, they could be exchanged for two buildings in a first-tier city in future generations.

However, what he was most concerned about now was not that, but the division of the Xia family: "With Old Madam Xia injured, did the family not get its share? Now that both of them are injured, they definitely need someone to take care of them, and I'm afraid Xia Jianjun and the others will come looking for us."
