Chapter 336: Leave the Kong Family Quickly

Xia Fang looked at the cherry tree in the courtyard with heartache. There were a lot of memories attached to this tree. Her mother did not leave behind much and only this tree could still bring back many happy memories for her.

“Can this tree survive?” Xia Fang asked Qiao Mei.

She knew that Qiao Mei was very good with plants. Under Qiao Mei’s guidance, the orchids at home were blooming nowadays. When the weather was good, she would bring the orchids to the living room to admire them.

“The tree will definitely survive, but if we don’t stop the water from flowing out, everyone living here will not be able to survive,” Qiao Mei said helplessly as she looked at the bubbling fountain on the ground.

Actually, those people did not dig up the groundwater just now. It was Qiao Mei who had loosened the soil to stop them from being able to continue digging. However, she did not expect the water to flow out continuously like a fountain.

“Let’s leave it for the next few days. It’ll be fine after a few days when it stops raining,” Xia Zhe said.

He had encountered such a situation during a previous mission, and it became fine after a few days.

“Even so, we can’t just let the water keep flowing out. The courtyard is about to be destroyed since the soil has all been dug up,” Xia He said as she looked around.

“It’s fine. The courtyard has a drainage system. After elder brother makes the arrangements to repair the courtyard, we’ll get everything repaired. The water won’t flow into the house for the moment,” Xia Zhe said.

Just as everyone was thinking about the cherry tree in the courtyard and how to drain the water, Zhou Hua became anxious. She whispered, “Xiao Zhe, just tell everyone the truth. Where did you put those things? Hurry up and dig them out now that they’re gone so that we can take them away.”

Xia He was rendered speechless when she heard this and rolled her eyes in anger. In the past, Third Aunt-in-law was not so stupid. Why was it that the older she got, the more foolish she became?

Putting aside the fact that they did not know if Section Chief Chu had left anyone behind to spy on them, the people who had been keeping an eye on the Cao family still had not left yet. There were so many pairs of eyes outside staring at the Xia family covetously. Yet, Zhou Hua seemed totally oblivious and ready to announce her thoughts to the whole world.

Xu Lan was also angry when she heard this. She would usually pretend not to hear anything when Zhou Hua talked, but Zhou Hua still dared to spout such nonsense at a critical moment like this. Was she trying to kill the Xia family!

“Liu Fen, I’m leaving. Are you coming back with me?” Xu Lan asked.

“Let’s go, let’s go!” Liu Fen hurriedly held on to Xu Lan’s arm and left Xia Zhe’s house.

Liu Fen also wanted to know if there was anything buried under the old house, but she knew that it was not the time to ask these questions now. She also knew that it was best if these things did not appear for the rest of her life. She and Xia Yao were living a prosperous life and her children were also doing well. All she wanted was for all of them to be safe and sound.

Xia Fang looked at Xia Zhe and said earnestly, “Why don’t you come to my place?”

Xia Zhe shook his head. He knew that Qiao Mei did not like Kong Li, so he still had to respect Qiao Mei’s wishes. Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei, but she did not say anything.

“Aunt, we won’t go over. So many things have happened at home. Although Qiao Mei is in good health, she’s still probably a little traumatized,” Xia Zhe said with a smile.

Xia He thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t you guys go back to grandfather’s place? It’s indeed not quite possible for Qiao Mei to rest well and take good care of her pregnancy with Kong Li around.”

“By the way, why isn’t Kong Li here?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.

Usually, Kong Li would be the first to rush to the front when it came to such matters. She loved to watch dramatic events like this, especially when it involved Xia He.

“She’s still sleeping at home. Not even a thunderstorm or an earthquake can wake her up,” Xia He said mockingly.

Qiao Mei suddenly felt a little emotional. For a person to be able to behave like this, she had to be a callous person.

“You should all go back to stay at grandfather’s place. I’ve already disturbed Aunt for the past few days. When Kong Lu arrives, I’ll get him to take Kong Li away immediately!” Xia He hugged Xia Fang’s arm and said sweetly to her.

“When is he arriving?” Xia Zhe asked.

“In his letter, he said in two or three days’ time,” Xia He said.

“I’ll ask him to speed up and travel both day and night,” Xia Zhe said as he looked at Xia He.

If it were the old Xia He, she might have told Xia Zhe not to rush Kong Lu as it would be dangerous and that he should ask Kong Lu to be careful and to take his time. Now, she only wanted to leave the Kong family as soon as possible.
