Chapter 870 I am a Sucker

After a while, my aunt came back following my uncle with a bad look on her face.

Although I don't know what happened, my blind guess is that my uncle didn't agree with my aunt asking me to buy gold for my cousins.

Although I originally planned to give him money, my aunt's behavior still made me feel uncomfortable.

But what does it matter? Uncle is my biological relative, while aunt is just an incidental one.

When they came over, I pretended to know nothing and walked towards them, still smiling, saying, "Uncle, if Auntie can't choose one, how about I choose one for my brother and sister?"

My uncle's expression softened slightly. "Mengmeng, you haven't started working yet, so it's not appropriate to give them such expensive gifts. If I really want to give them something, pick out a couple of books for them later."

My aunt's face was not very good, and she murmured softly, "That's just a little gift from Mengmeng as her elder sister. It's so discouraging for you to refuse her outright..."

I smiled and said nothing more, and readily asked the teller to pick out two pure gold zodiac pendants, each weighing about 12 grams, which together with the labor cost a little over 20,000 yuan.

My uncle stopped me from buying it, and I half-jokingly said, "This is a gift from my cousins. You must tell them when you go back that this is from my cousin. Don't take the credit for it."

After saying that, I winked at my uncle and went to pay the bill. It felt like buying things with a shopping card was free.

When I came back, my aunt was smiling again.

She came over affectionately and took my arm. "Mengmeng, when I get back, I'll definitely tell Ziting and Ziran how much you, their cousin, miss them. I'll ask them to come visit you in City A when they have their holidays."

"Okay, now that they are here, I will treat them well." I am quite friendly towards my cousins.

Speaking of Ziting, I always think of Wensong and Wenbo. As for my cousin, a kid who hasn't even started elementary school yet, she shouldn't be as annoying as Deng Sisi.

When I got to the second floor, I generously bought clothes and toys for my uncle's two children. Soon my uncle was carrying two large bags of things.

Compared with the gold counter downstairs, the things on the second floor looked so satisfying, and the two large bags of things together were less than 100,000.

My aunt couldn't stop laughing.

But the uncle frowned, "Mengmeng, uncle knows you don't lack money now, but you don't have a job after all. It's not appropriate for you to buy things for us like this."

"It's okay, this is a little gift from me as your sister."

"Mengmeng, let's go somewhere else. Things here are quite expensive." Uncle wanted to leave.

My aunt whispered to my uncle with some dissatisfaction, "When women go shopping, you should just follow them and pick up the things. Don't interfere with what Mengmeng wants to buy. It's annoying to follow her and nag her all the way.

If you don't want to go shopping anymore, go find a place to sit on the first floor. I find you following me annoying!"

After saying that, he took my arm and continued walking forward. My uncle sighed and really went to find a place to sit.

After walking around for a while, my aunt said to me as if to discuss something: "Mengmeng, Ziting's grandparents are working so hard to take care of the children at home. I want to bring them some gifts to make them happy too."

I know what she means. My cousins ​​are related to me by blood, but what relationship do my aunt's parents have to me? I don't even know what they look like!

You really took me for a fool!

But I didn't show it on my face, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, aunt is really filial. The old man has done so much for you, so it's only right that I bring some gifts back to the two elders.

What does Aunt want to buy? I'll go with you to pick it out."

When my aunt heard that I had no objection, she became even more excited. "By the way, since I rarely come out, I should also bring some gifts to Ziting's uncle's family, don't you think?

He's usually very nice to Ziting, and even bought Ziran a computer last year."

I nodded heavily. "Of course, that's as it should be. My aunt has such a good relationship with her family. She still thinks about the whole family when she goes out to play. A sister like you is so enviable."

My aunt was so flattered by my praise that she couldn't stop smiling and pulled me to a counter selling gold handicrafts.

My aunt pointed to a solid gold longevity peach ornament on the counter, priced at 88,000 yuan. "This is great! Old people love this kind of lucky charm. It's so prestigious to have it in the living room!"

"Haha, yes, it does look very grand." I agreed with a forced smile. It also looks very grand to put a pile of RMB in the middle of the living room.

Hearing my agreement, my aunt's eyes flashed with pride, "Miss, help me wrap this birthday peach."

The salesgirl responded with a smile and started packing.

Then she turned to the jade counter next to her and said, "Oh, this pair of icy jade bracelets is so beautiful.

I heard people say jade and agate are suitable for the elderly, as wearing them close to the skin is good for the body.

I continued nodding, "Yes, yes, yes. Although I don't understand it, I have heard of it."

The salesgirl said sweetly, "Yes, they say that fine jade can protect its owner from disaster. We have top-quality natural jade. Do you think this pair is the one you want?"

"This is the right pair. They are in good condition and reasonably priced." My aunt has a very good temperament of spending money without blinking an eye.

"You guys help me pack first, I'll go to the watch counter over there to take a look." My aunt took my hand and walked towards the Rolex counter.

"Mengmeng, what brand is that watch Shiqiu is wearing? It looks really nice. I want to buy one for my brother too."

I staggered when I heard this. She really dared to think so. My father could only envy her. My aunt actually wanted to buy one for her brother.

But I still told the truth, "His watch is a Patek Philippe..."

Before I could finish, my aunt pointed and asked, "Is that the store?"

I took a look and saw that, yes, there was a Patek Philippe counter in front.

I nodded. "It's that store, but..."

Before I could finish, she excitedly pulled me a few steps forward and said, "The watch Shiqiu is wearing must be worth tens of thousands. Let's go and see if there is a similar watch."

"...I don't know how much it costs, but it should be quite expensive." I answered honestly.

I know it must be very expensive, but Xiao Shiqiu never told me how expensive it is exactly, and I never asked.

But based on my experience, it should be beyond my understanding.

As soon as she entered the store, my aunt first looked around at the watches on the counter. When she saw the prices, her eyes narrowed noticeably, which must have exceeded her expectations.

I thought she would leave after seeing the price, after all, the cheapest one is over 80,000.

My aunt was obviously a little excited. She suddenly turned around, took my hand and said, "Mengmeng, I know you are a generous and good child. If you had a younger brother who particularly liked luxury watches, would you be willing to give him a gift like this?"

I nodded solemnly: "Of course, if I had a brother, I would definitely agree."

But I don’t have a biological brother, so a half-brother doesn’t count!

My aunt smiled very kindly, "I knew you were the most generous."

She turned to the teller and asked, "Miss, do you have a watch with a white strap and a light blue dial? One that looks very special at first glance."
