Chapter 74 Getting Close to the Second Aunt

It’s been a while since I’ve been to the Zhang Family Tea Garden, and no one dares to approach the small dark room, except of course the girl who volunteered to guard the coffin.

I ran into her again when I went to the market two days ago. At that time, she was buying fish for her grandmother who suffered from severe malnutrition. I chatted with her for a while. She knew that I was the granddaughter of the Zhang family and respected me very much. I went to her house and sat for a while. In her house, I saw the real bare walls.

Presumably the girl is working as a housekeeper and a part-time nanny for a certain family at the moment, right?
The purpose of my coming to the tea garden this time is to get close to my second aunt.

By the way, this is my first time picking tea leaves. I quite like the look of the authentic village tea masters wearing bamboo hats and baskets at their waists, but the picking speed is a bit slow and not particularly clean.

The second aunt across from me shook her head when she saw it. She picked the missing ones for me and complained: "I think you should go back to the office? You are doing a disservice."

I smiled awkwardly and said, "It's easy to herniate the discs in your waist if you sit in the office for a long time. Second aunt, please teach me the secret of picking tea leaves. I'm so envious of you picking them quickly and cleanly."

I praised her for being an expert at picking tea leaves, but she didn't seem to buy it, saying that she was a hard worker.

In fact, as far as I know, the second aunt rarely comes to the garden to help pick tea leaves. She dresses up every day and either gambles or dances in the square. Unlike the first aunt, who regards tea picking as her lifelong independent career.

As I talked, I observed her neck. There was a gold necklace hanging on it, which was exactly the same as the one I picked up!
I was secretly surprised and confused.

Seeing that she didn't pay much attention to me, I wasn't worried. In fact, women are easy to get close to, especially women with weaknesses, and the second aunt's weakness is her love of beauty. That is her strength and her weakness.

"Wow, second aunt, your gold necklace is so unique in style. It looks so white and beautiful when you wear it! You have such a discerning eye." I looked at her heart-shaped necklace with feigned fondness.

My second aunt suddenly became energetic when I praised her like this. "It looks good! Isn't it special? This was designed by my second aunt myself, and it's pure gold!"

In order to express my love for the necklace, I took a closer look and said pretentiously: "Wow, it's really beautiful. Only a beautiful woman like my second aunt can wear such a design." What about the unique gold necklace! Where did you order it, Second Aunt? I'll order one too."

My second aunt was very happy when I praised her, and she said the name of the store "Longfengge Jewelry Store" without hesitation. She was worried that I didn't know the way, so she enthusiastically took me there.

Seeing her enthusiasm, I was suspicious of investigating her, and I couldn't help but feel guilty.

I said that I knew the exact location of the store and could go by myself. My second aunt finally smiled at me and proudly exposed the gold necklace and placed it on the most conspicuous collarbone so that everyone could see it.

I took the gold necklace to Longfengge. Longfengge is a well-known time-honored gold shop in the town. The experienced boss immediately recognized that it was his work. The style should have been popular 20 years ago, but looking at it The condition and newness of the necklace are only about ten years old.

Later, I wondered if it might be like this. Twenty years ago, my second aunt got a gold necklace that had a great commemorative significance. One day ten years later, the gold necklace was lost. Because my second aunt felt guilty and was afraid that her uncle would become suspicious, she secretly An identical one was created to cover up some of her hidden facts.
