Chapter 297: Going Down the Well to Find the Treasure

"This well became contaminated for some reason. In the past, my father fell sick after drinking the water from this well, so my grandmother sealed it up," Xia Zhe said.

His father fell sick? This matched the timing that Grandpa Zhou mentioned! It seemed that the well was used to hide something.

"Then why don't we clean up this well and use it again!" Qiao Mei said.

"No! This well is so deep. Besides, you're pregnant now and drawing water from the well is such a tedious and heavy chore," Xia Zhe said with a frown.

"If I can push away the stone slab on top of the well, why would it be difficult for me to draw water?" Qiao Mei looked at Xia Zhe in puzzlement.

Xia Zhe was instantly struck speechless. After thinking for a while, he said, "After our child is born, what if the child falls into the well? It's too dangerous."
