Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

Chapter 141 Congratulations, Host, for Intercepting a Female Host's Romance

Now that they know where this treasure came from, all that's left for them is a choice.

First, embezzle it. Second, hand it over to the state. Third, find the descendants of wealthy families and transfer the ancestral wealth to them.

Qiao Manman felt it was so difficult; it was a struggle between conscience and desire, and it was hard to say who would win.

Suddenly, the system announced: "Congratulations, host, points increased!"

Qiao Manman: "......"

What did she do? What did she do? Why did she suddenly receive points?

While the person was still confused, the system explained: "Congratulations, host, you have intercepted a female host's romance!"

Qiao Manman's eyes lit up: "So, the original fate of this thing was to be obtained by Meng Peiyu?"

"Yes, host, so don't feel guilty, collect all the treasures you want!"

Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and put the golden nanmu box into her spatial storage.

After searching around and confirming that there were no other secret rooms, he cleaned up his traces and left the treasure room.

Looking at the large hole in front of him, he thought for a moment and then piled the rubble back up.

Checking the system shop, Qiao Manman found that many new items had been added. She spent one point to redeem a bucket of real stone paint.

She even asked the system to help her choose a bucket that was similar in color to the cave wall.

Qiao Manman took a brush and started painting the wall. Soon, she had covered the entire cave with paint.

Once she finished, Qiao Manman snapped her fingers: "Done!"

She thought that if the experienced renovation worker saw this, he would definitely accuse her of cutting corners.

If the base layer isn't even treated, how can you guarantee the application effect?

But Qiao Manman didn't care. The cave within a cave was so well hidden, who could possibly find it?

Or rather, even if they find out, so what? Is there any evidence that she was behind it?

She did this simply because she felt guilty—no, to cover it up; it would be best if the female lead couldn't find her.

Meng Peiyu, who was far away in the military family compound in Northeast China, woke up with a start, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

Chen Junyan, standing beside her, opened his sharp eyes and, seeing that his wife was not behaving well, quickly asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Meng Peiyu shook her head, clutching her chest with both hands: "I feel a tightness in my chest, it's uncomfortable!"

Chen Junyan immediately asked with concern, "Is it serious? I'll take you to see a doctor right away!"

As she was about to put on her clothes, Meng Peiyu stopped her, saying, "I'm fine. I'm probably just tired from the past few days. I'll be fine after a rest."

"Really? If you feel unwell anywhere, please tell me. Don't try to tough it out!"

Chen Junyan got out of bed and poured her a glass of warm water: "Drink some before you sleep!"

Meng Peiyu hummed in agreement, took the chipped enamel mug, and drank the bland, tasteless water with some disdain.

Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at my humble home and realized how difficult life was.

Close your eyes and call out to the system to sign in.

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained ten catties of pork and ten catties of rice."

Meng Peiyu was unhappy: "What the hell? I have so many supplies, and all I got in return was this little bit?"

If you give me a pittance every day, tell me, what can that be enough for?

The system coldly replied: "Dimensional limitations, please overcome them on your own!"

"Overcome, overcome, that's all you know!"

"Peiyu?" Chen Junyan felt a sense of malice emanating from the person beside him, and he was somewhat at a loss, wondering if he was mistaken.

Meng Peiyu took a deep breath and composed herself: "I'm fine. I just dreamt about a place where there were lots of treasures."

"Looks like they think I'm being promoted too slowly."

Chen Junyan chuckled: "Wife, I will work hard and earn lots of allowances so that you can live a good life."

Meng Peiyu nodded, leaned on Chen Junyan's shoulder, her eyes flickering uncertainly.

Qiao Manman cleaned up the paint spots on the ground and then used a broom to remove the footprints and dog hair.

They even threw dust into the cave as they retreated, creating the illusion that no one had entered for many years.

Big Yellow kept sneezing because it was choked, and Qiao Manman, finding it in the way, simply put it into her space.

After they came out, they sprinkled some space soil under the vines to make them grow more vigorously and completely cover the entrance to the hole.

After finishing my work, I ran home as fast as I could, and only released Dahuang after I climbed over the courtyard wall.

Seeing the big dog's pitiful expression, Qiao Manman touched her nose and threw a sausage into its dog bowl.

Big Yellow immediately became happy, finished eating in a few bites, and wagged its tail to beg for more food.

Qiao Manman rubbed its head and said earnestly, "Dahuang, you need to learn to know when to stop."

Otherwise, the owner will get angry and might knock you into the hot pot.

Da Huang didn't know what hot pot was, but he keenly noticed Qiao Manman's emotional changes.

It let out two soft whimpers, then trotted back to its den, and remained quiet all night.

Qiao Manman washed her hands, put her sneakers away, and lay down to sleep soundly.

She didn't get up until dawn the next day, still half asleep. She quickly went into her spatial dimension, made herself a cup of coffee, and checked her haul while drinking it.

Wow, so many! They're like a small mountain!

The still space was full of supplies, so Qiao Manman piled the boxes next to the sweet potato field.

The boxes were stacked one on top of the other, creating a rather spectacular sight.

They even rearranged their order, putting gold and silver at the bottom, jewelry in the middle, and then silk, ancient books, and paintings...

These are susceptible to moisture and insects, so it's best to keep them in a still space.

Having no other choice, she moved all the pots, pans, and long-shelf-life snacks out to make room for two shelves to display her most precious calligraphy and paintings.

After finishing her work at 7:30, Qiao Manman went out to cook herself instant noodles.

When asked, Qiao Runming said that He Nian had left him some food before leaving the house.

Therefore, Qiao Manman did not cook for him.

After eating and drinking her fill, Qiao Manman rested for a while, then found a small bamboo basket at home, tied it to the back of her bicycle, and covered it with dry grass.

When we were almost in the county town, we stopped and put milk powder into the bamboo basket.

There were ten packs in total, filling the bamboo basket to the brim, almost overflowing with hay.

Instead of using hay, I put some green beans and cucumbers on top, like a country bumpkin visiting relatives in the city.

Qiao Manman rode her bike to the new house, knocked on the door, and soon the old man came to open it.

The old man's surname was He, and his name was He Taiyu. He had served on the battlefield before.

Qiao Manman smiled and handed over the bamboo basket: "Uncle, I brought you some vegetables from home. You and my great-aunt can have something new to eat."

The old man chuckled and invited Qiao Manman to come in and sit down.

Qiao Manman shook her head: "No, no, I have to go to work. I'll come see you and my great-aunt tomorrow."

The old man waved his hand: "Alright, come over early tomorrow and try your great-aunt's cooking!"

Qiao Manman responded and left.

Arriving at the machine factory, I sat down at my workstation, took out my notebook, and started organizing yesterday's meeting content.

After sorting it out, I copied it onto letter paper and went to find Miao Shoujun.

"Director Miao, could you please take a look? Is there anything that needs to be modified?"

Miao Shoujun glanced at it and found it well-organized, then nodded: "Not bad, very complete. Comrade Xiao Qiao is truly talented."

"Factory director, you flatter me. It was only because the leader spoke slowly yesterday that I had time to jot down the key points."

As for the details, you'll have to provide them yourself.
