Chapter 934 Dumping site (1/2)

Kelly, a black woman who became the star of the park, returned again after locking the diamond in the park's safe. She came back to continue her work.

After she appeared, many treasure hunters gathered around her and reached out to shake her hand. This was a tradition in the park. If you touched the hand of the lucky treasure hunter, you were supposed to gain luck.

Everybody kept talking to Kelly and asking about diamond searching tips.

Kelly, now in a state of calm, answered the continuous inquiries patiently. Then she carried her buckets and tools and walked towards Li Du's gang.

Sophie smiled and said, ”Congratulations, Mrs. Andelat, it is an enviable thing that fortune has shown you.”

Kelly took her hand and smiled excitedly. ”Yes, yes, I got the eye of God and took the chance. Do you know how I named the diamond?”

”How?” Sophie asked curiously.

”Esperanza. It's my daughter's name. It's Spanish, and means hope. She is my hope, and this diamond is my hope,” Kelly said cheerfully.

”It is a good name,” said Li Du.

Kelly said, ”Indeed! Indeed! It is the stone of hope!”

Kelly started talking about her situation to Sophie. ”My daughter went to New York University. She chose law, but I didn't have the money to send her. She does not have a scholarship, and it is difficult to apply for one. And my two sons are so considerate that they want to quit school and work to help their sister.”

”Well, now there's hope. I've got the diamonds. At first, I did not come here with much hope. I just wanted to make a few thousand dollars by digging up two small pieces of diamond.

”But I had been working 20 hours a day for ten months and couldn't find anything. Every day, my daughter encouraged me, she said I would find a diamond sooner or later, and thank God, I did find one…”

Recalling all that, her eyes turned red and she began to cry.

Sophie consoled her and introduced her to Li Du, saying that he could help her sell the diamond.

Kelly, apparently unconvinced, muddled through, telling Sophie that she had the contact information of a local diamond buyer and that the diamond would sell for a good price.

At the same time, she told Sophie, ”Nobody here believes there's a big diamond, but I found one. Faith, confidence, and persistence are the keys. There may still be big diamonds in the big rocks.”

Her words sent Li Du's mind spinning. Previously, Li Du had focused his attention on the soil. He subconsciously ignored the larger stones and looked for the smaller stones, searching for gems in them.

This was a common practice for everyone in the park, as no one except Kelly has found more than five carats over the past eight years.

Perhaps he could take note of the park's dumping site, the gravel disposal section.

People looked for gems in stones; first, they would find some stones, and these stones were mixed with gems, but also obstruced them and interfered with finding them.

As a result, after filtering stones without diamonds in a sieve, the people would gather and throw them into the fixed area at the northwest corner of the park.
