Feng Qingxue was unable to decline and reluctantly accepted it, feeling its substantial heft.
She did not dare to open it on the spot and only discovered on her way home that old lady Xu had given her a small box of gold!
The small and exquisite gold ingots, each about the size of a thumb, were arranged in neat rows, one layer above the other. There were eight pieces per row and three rows each of two layers, all neatly arranged.
Feng Qingxue did once hear old lady Xu mention that she and old man Xu had hidden some gold in the old house, which they couldn't fetch without the right opportunity. The fact that they had given her a box of gold today, did it imply that the elderly couple had finally got a chance to take out the gold?
Definitely!
There was no other explanation.
