Chapter 196 Showdown

"Now I'm all alone."

Lu Fangfang stood in the inner room and looked out the window into the courtyard.

Seeing that Zhuang Mingcheng hadn't followed her back, she then took out what was in her pocket.

Unwrapping the handkerchief, a gold stone the size of a thumb appeared before Lu Fangfang's eyes.

At noon, Zhuang Mingcheng followed her closely, and she didn't even have time to hide the gold nugget in her pocket.

"It's so beautiful."

Lu Fangfang plopped down at the desk and began admiring the gold nugget.

This little dog head gold piece is of higher purity than the one Little Tibetan Fox found.

She looked closely and saw that the gold nugget contained nothing else; it looked like pure gold.

"Drill a hole, hang it around your neck, and you won't have to worry about going hungry anywhere."

Lu Fangfang muttered to herself.

She touched the gold nugget and felt that her idea was good; it was much safer than carrying cash.

"Meow~"

Little Flower strode in from the outer room.

Lu Fangfang looked down and quickly picked up the hero and placed him on the desk.

She found a piece of red thread, wrapped it around the gold nugget, and then hung it around Xiaohua's neck.

"Meow~"

Little Flower curiously touched the thing on her neck with her paw.

"Yes, it's quite festive."

Lu Fangfang rubbed Xiaohua's head and then gave her a big kiss.

She took the gold nugget off her head and hung it around her neck.

She looked in the mirror in front of the wardrobe and had to admit that she looked a little better in it than Xiaohua.

real!

"Squeak."

"Fangfang?"

Hearing a noise coming from the courtyard, Lu Fangfang hurriedly took off the gold nugget around her neck, bent down, and threw it into the kang (heated brick bed) hole.

Xiaohua sat on the desk, tilting her head to watch all of this.

"Huh? Where are my gold grains?"

Lu Fangfang searched through her pockets but couldn't find the gold dust she had put in earlier, and her heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, could it be lost?

"Fangfang? Fangfang?"

As soon as Zhuang Mingcheng got home, he started looking for his wife.

He pushed open the door to the inner room and saw his lover holding a shirt, rummaging through it. His eyes narrowed as he looked Lu Fangfang up and down.

What are you looking for here?

Lu Fangfang was somewhat embarrassed and angry, and she threw the jacket directly at Zhuang Mingcheng.

"What do you mean I'm looking for something?"

She had given up. The gold grains were so small, and she had been to many places that afternoon; she might lose them at any time.

Sigh, even though a single grain of gold is small, it still breaks her heart.

Zhuang Mingcheng glanced at his wife, then picked up her shirt and began to search it carefully.

He looked at every detail very carefully, leaving no stone unturned.

Seeing this, Lu Fangfang suddenly felt a surge of hope. She was just struggling with this, and if she could find the gold sand, she wouldn't have to keep it a secret anymore.

Time passed by, and Zhuang Mingcheng thoroughly searched his wife's top, inside and out.

Unable to find anything particularly special, he took the clothes closer and sniffed them.

Hmm, my wife sweated a lot today.

Lu Fangfang: "..."

She stepped forward, blushing, and snatched the clothes away.

Zhuang Mingcheng grabbed his wife's arm and hugged her tightly.

Leaning close to his lover's face, Zhuang Mingcheng said helplessly, "Fangfang, you haven't been acting normally since this morning. What's wrong? What happened?"

Seeing that his lover remained silent, he solemnly said, "Comrade Lu Fangfang, I'm worried about you!"

Lu Fangfang felt even more uncomfortable.

She glanced helplessly at Zhuang Mingcheng, then pointed to the little guy who had just come in.

"A little Tibetan fox?"

Zhuang Mingcheng squatted down and picked up the little Tibetan fox. "Tell me, what good deed have you done?"

"Awoo~"

The little Tibetan fox looked at him with an innocent expression.

Zhuang Mingcheng petted it, then turned to look at Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, what did this guy do this morning? How did he end up like this with your mom like this?"

"Meow~"

Xiaohua jumped off the desk and walked towards the stove hole.

Lu Fangfang's lips twitched as she watched.

It seems this drafty little cotton-padded jacket is no longer suitable. It's starting to favor Zhuang Mingcheng. I only wiped its fur this morning; it's not like I haven't wiped its fur before.

Zhuang Mingcheng stepped forward and saw Xiaohua crawl into the kang hole.

A moment later, it emerged carrying something wrapped in a handkerchief.

"Meow~"

Xiao Hua placed the things in front of Zhuang Mingcheng and then called out to him.

"Rebellious son!"

Lu Fangfang couldn't help but curse.

This little girl with the drafty coat didn't pick up the small gold nugget; instead, she picked up the big gold dog head.

Oh dear, she was heartbroken to see that.

"Little Flower is such a good girl!"

Zhuang Mingcheng smiled and patted Xiaohua, then picked up the things on the ground.

"Huh?"

As soon as he picked it up, he realized that it was a bit heavy.

Turning his head to look at his wife, and seeing that she didn't object, Zhuang Mingcheng slowly untied his handkerchief, and a golden stone immediately came into his view.

Zhuang Mingcheng stared at it, stunned for a long time.

"Fangfang, where...where did this gold come from?"

"Mine! Mine! Mine!"

Lu Fangfang stepped forward and snatched it away.

She climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and hid in a corner, clutching the gold dog head tightly to her chest.

“This was given to me by the little Tibetan fox, so it’s mine, it’s mine.”

"Zhuang Mingcheng, let me tell you, I'm not handing this over. Call me low-minded, call me greedy, it's mine!"

Zhuang Mingcheng listened to his wife's words in a daze.
