Chapter 178 Big Gold Brick
Mother Lu told her the most important thing: "We have already figured it out at home. We will give you a pig. You don't have to raise it."
Fu Zhi said, "No need, you can keep it and exchange it for money." After all, her family is under heavy financial burden.
Mother Lu said, "You saved my life back then, what's a pig to you?"
Fu Zhi was a little touched. She had seen so many people who took advantage of her misfortune, but now she saw that they were always willing to help her. She felt indescribable in her heart.
It is true that a friend in need is a friend indeed.
Back then, she had given Mother Lu a pill out of spite, but she had helped others even more! Those people had distanced themselves from her after the incident.
Who knew that Mother Lu had been looking for her all the time? It's really unpredictable. She sowed good seeds and reaped such great good results.
Although Fu Zhi didn't say much, she observed that Lu Xiang was the one who made the decisions at home.
Lu Xiang is the youngest in the family, but she is the most capable.
Being a village cadre at such a young age, and getting married was quite thrilling. It's remarkable that he was able to turn a bad hand into what he is today.
What's more, Lu Xiang is pregnant now!
Mother Lu secretly told Fu Zhi that she hoped Lu Xiang could give birth to a son.
She had suffered enough from not having a son in her life and was afraid that Lu Xiang would also suffer the same pain.
Fu Zhi said beside her: "She won't."
Mother Lu was stunned at first, then she sighed: "She is indeed better than me. She is not as incompetent as me!"
Fu Zhi said: "The greatest luck in your life is to have a child like Lu Xiang. I really want to adopt Lu Xiang as my goddaughter."
When Mother Lu heard this, her eyes lit up: "Yes, let her be your goddaughter, and strengthen the relationship between you!" She couldn't wait to arrange this matter.
Fu Zhi said, "Don't worry, I'll ask Lu Xiang if she's willing."
Mother Lu couldn't sit still now, so she immediately went to find Lu Xiang and told her about this.
Lu Xiang said, "Okay!" Then she walked over and called out, "Godmother."
Fu Zhi had no children and had injured her body over the years, making her unable to have children. She thought that was the end of it, but unexpectedly, God was kind to her and gave her a goddaughter.
For a moment, Fu Zhi's face began to turn red: "Hey!" in response to Lu Xiang's change of words.
Lu Xiang said, "You can live here from now on. It's a good opportunity for us to chat and relieve boredom."
Mother Lu looked at Lu Xiang and Fu Zhi, her eyes filled with joy. She paused and said, "By the way, I heard that tickets are no longer needed, so I asked someone to buy some milk powder. You should drink some, it's nutritious!" She didn't know if the person who went to buy it had returned yet.
She plans to go and see.
After Mother Lu left, only Fu Zhi and Lu Xiang were left in the room. Fu Zhi said, "Xiangxiang, please help me with something."
After saying that, he took out a worn little bag with two heavy brick-like objects in it and handed it to Lu Xiang.
This is what she always carries.
Everyone thought she was crazy and treated the brick as a treasure.
Lu Xiang was stunned!
Fu Zhi took the shovel and shoveled hard on the brick. She saw that the originally gray brick had a little golden light on it.
Fu Zhi said, "This is a gold brick. The purity is not high, only about 50%! Go to the county craftsman to purify it into gold ingots, sell it at the gold shop, and give me the money. I can't leave now."
Lu Xiang was stunned. No wonder Fu Zhi would become a big shot in the future. It turned out she had someone to rely on. These two gold bricks weighed almost three pounds.
Half the content is still one and a half kilograms. Gold is currently 70 yuan per gram, so the gold bar alone is 52,000 yuan.
The villagers tried their best to figure out whether there was gold inside the ordinary bricks.
These days, anyone with a thousand dollars is considered wealthy.
I haven't heard of tens of thousands.
Fu Zhi immediately offered over 50,000 yuan. Lu Xiang was stunned. She had never expected Fu Zhi to trust her so much. However, she was a little hesitant: "Such a large sum of money..."
"It doesn't matter, I can't go out now!" Fu Zhi said, food, clothing, housing and transportation all cost money.
She had already died in her heart, but since the doctor said that her leg had a chance of recovery, she suddenly had hope of life again.
Fu Zhi said, "I won't let you go for nothing. After we sell these things and get the money, we'll each take half!"
That’s more than 20,000 per person.
Lu Xiang said: "No need to give it to me, I'll go for you."
Lu Xiang knew very well that she couldn't show off her wealth, because if it got out, they would definitely not be able to keep the money.
There would inevitably be some trouble. The next day, after Fu Qinhui left, Lu Xiang went to the county to find the alchemist and call for help.
These alchemists usually look like blacksmiths and are not very noticeable.
But in fact, his family has been doing this for generations. I heard that they were very famous in the past.
The craftsman was also stunned when he saw it. There was actually a lot of secrets in these two bricks.
But every industry has its own rules, and the craftsmen never asked too many questions. They quietly purified the gold cakes, and the quality of the gold cakes purified by fire was very beautiful.
The two together weighed a pound and a half, which showed that the craftsman was honest and trustworthy and did not steal the gold.
Lu Xiang took all of these to a gold shop and exchanged them for money.
The gold shop manager was stunned. He had never exchanged such gold in his life, but he was happy to do so. The purchase price in the provincial capital was 72 yuan per gram. He exchanged it for 70 yuan. This way, he could make a net profit of over 1,000 yuan.
Such good things are usually hard to come by even with a lantern.
Lu Xiang put the money in her bag and could hardly carry it. She was trembling with fear all the way. Everyone looked like a bad person to her, for fear that others would notice her strange behavior and snatch her bag.
The weather had been cold recently, and everyone was preoccupied with the abolition of food coupons, so no one paid any attention to her. Lu Xiang returned home safely and gave all the money to Fu Zhi.
Fu Zhi wanted to give her half, but Lu Xiang didn't want it. After all, it was just a small favor, and she felt embarrassed to take someone else's money for their livelihood.
Seeing that she really didn't want it, Fu Zhi said, "How about this, don't refuse it. I'll take the bulk of it and give you 10,000 yuan. You saved my life, so my life is still worth 10,000 yuan."
Fearing that Lu Xiang would not accept it, Fu Zhi added, "If you don't accept it, I will be unhappy!"
Seeing that she said so, Lu Xiang had no choice but to accept it reluctantly. In the end, she felt uneasy and said, "If you need me in any way, just tell me directly."
Fu Zhi said, "Okay." She was extremely satisfied with this goddaughter. Seeing so much money, she was able to keep her original heart, which showed that her mind, will and personal qualities were very good.
