Chapter 13: Don’t let the poisonous sister get away with it
Xia Liang's pockets are not just clean.
The educated youth had no money to begin with, and she was not favored at home, so it was impossible for Xia's mother to give her a penny for pocket money.
In the past, when it rained and the production team could not go to work, the educated youth would go up the mountain to collect herbs, and they could at least make some money from them. But every time the money reached Xia Liang, before he could even warm it up, Xia Jing would find an excuse to borrow it.
Of course, although Xia Jing said it was a loan, she never returned it.
At that time, I was really an idiot. I was deceived by Xia Jing for so many years and didn't know her true face until I died.
But now? Now that I'm reborn, how can I just hit Xia Jing a few times?
She wanted to take back all the money that Xia Jing had deducted from her.
"I'll ask Wang Bin for it later."
Ning Zhiyuan said generously, and Xia Liang continued: "I want to ride your bicycles."
"Can."
Now that the deal has been made, Xia Liang went back to prepare. She was going to go to the town this afternoon.
"Wait, where's the arm?"
Hearing the sound of Xia Liang packing up her things, Ning Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows in displeasure. This woman has a really bad memory.
"Oh, I forgot."
Xia Liang stuck out her tongue playfully. She only wanted to get to the town as soon as possible.
…
"Sister, you are hurting me on purpose, right?"
When Xia Liang returned, all the educated youths had gone to work. Xia Jing was lying alone on the kang, her face swollen like a pig's head. Where was her former youthful and pretty look?
"Sister, what do you mean by that?"
Xia Liang looked at her sadly, tears in her eyes:
"How do I treat you normally? Everyone in Yangliu Village knows this, right? I make sure you eat your fill even if I don't want to, and I make sure you wear good clothes even if I don't want to. You take all the money I earn. I'm almost going to give you my heart. How else do you expect me to treat you?"
"But what did you do to me? It would have been fine if you had an affair with Zhou Hao, but you actually wanted to put the blame on me. Sister, are you really my biological sister? How could you be so mean to your sister?"
Xia Jing's expression changed when she heard Xia Liang's words. Thinking of how ruthlessly Xia Liang had attacked her today, she felt even more wronged:
"I didn't, sister. I really didn't. I was just too scared. I almost fainted at the time and didn't dare to say anything..."
Xia Jing's body began to tremble as she spoke. She looked so pitiful, frail and helpless that anyone would feel sorry for her.
"Okay, I don't blame you. By the way, sister, I have to go to town later. Can you return the twenty or so yuan you lent me before?"
The money that Xia Liang lent to Xia Jing must have been more than twenty yuan, probably not much more.
She knew that Xia Jing didn't have much money on her now, so she just wanted an integer, which was enough to give Xia Jing face.
"Sister... I, where do I get the money?"
Xia Jing couldn't believe that Xia Liang could say this.
How many things had she and Xia Liang borrowed? She couldn't even remember, but when did Xia Liang ask her for something?
She tried hard to open her eyes wide and felt that Xia Liang was different today. Unfortunately, her face was so swollen that Xia Jing could only open her eyes a little bit despite her best efforts.
This Xia Liang is too cruel. And her mother said she went to get medicine for her, but it has been such a long time and she still hasn't come back.
"No money? Let me look for it."
Although Xia Liang usually doesn't argue with Xia Jing, she is not really stupid and she knows where Xia Jing keeps her money.
She turned around to look through Xia Jing's box, but Xia Jing grabbed her arm:
"Sister, please don't... I really don't have any money."
Xia Liang waved her hands. She was the one who did the most work in the fields among the educated youth. Over the past year or so, she had become much stronger.
“Ah, sister…”
Xia Jing usually likes to be lazy. Anyway, she and Xia Liang are in the same place, so whatever Xia Liang eats, she gets to eat too.
How could she be as strong as Xia Liang? Xia Liang just flicked his hand and Xia Jing fell onto the kang. It was unclear whether she really fell or was just pretending.
Xia Liang ignored her and walked straight to Xia Jing's box.
Xia Jing reached under the pillow and held the key tightly in her hand.
Humph, so what if it's over? You still can't open it without the key. I thought Xia Liang was smart, but now I see that he is still a brainless jerk.
Xia Jing secretly felt relieved, while Xia Liang, on the other side, had a small wire in his hand. He poked the key core a few times and the lock opened.
Xia Jing knew that Xia Liang couldn't open the box, so she said hypocritically:
"Sister, I forgot where I put the key to the box. Don't worry, I will return the money to you when I have money. You..."
"Sister, I didn't expect you to be so rich? You're willing to buy a hair tie like this?"
Xia Liang opened the box and took out the money inside. After a rough look, there were more than thirty yuan.
She didn't hesitate and put all the things in her pocket. She narrowed her eyes at the sight of the bright red hair tie in the box.
She reached out and picked it up, turned to Xia Jing, and sneered:
"My sister is really rich. She bought so many hair ties at 20 cents a foot."
Xia Jing is reluctant to wear this hair rope now?
"I……"
"It's confiscated."
Not only was there a hair tie, but there was also half a pound of brown sugar and lots of White Rabbit candies. It was obvious that this was given to her by Zhou Hao.
This good sister of hers is really capable. She can dig out so many things from Zhou Hao.
I don't care if you dig things out of your body, but why are you plotting against me?
Xia Liang didn't move the brown sugar and milk candy. She closed the box and said with a smile, "Take good care of your sister. I won't bother you for now."
Xia Jing struggled to her feet, and when Xia Liang was about to leave, she grabbed Xia Liang's arm. But how could she be a match for Xia Liang?
Xia Liang pushed her hard, and Xia Jing fell down. She watched Xia Liang walk out helplessly.
Tears fell down my face and it hurt even more.
Damn it, Xia Liang actually dared to steal her money. Damn it, this bastard.
Xia Jing suddenly thought of something and hurriedly got up from the ground. She got up so quickly that she even felt a little dizzy.
She calmed down for a moment and then slowly walked to the box.
I don’t know how much money Xia Liang took from her?
She opened the box carefully, only to find that all the thirty-plus pieces of money she had saved with great difficulty were gone.
This bastard!
He didn't even leave her a penny! Xia Jing was now just like Xia Liang, totally penniless.
The pink hair tie is gone too, but luckily the brown sugar and White Rabbit are still there.
Xia Jing hurriedly took a piece of White Rabbit candy, broke it open and put it in her mouth. The candy was sweet and tasted delicious. It was her favorite.
She pushed the candy under her clothes and hastily locked the box.
Nowadays, brown sugar and White Rabbit are rare commodities. If Li Xue and the others knew about this, they would shamelessly come to ask for them.
And there was that idiot Yang Hongmei, who didn't even bother to check before making trouble, and ended up losing face in front of the whole village.
She can now hide in the educated youth center to recuperate, but she will still have to go to work in a few days.
Xia Jing was so worried now, she didn't know how to face the people outside. After such a big embarrassment, everyone's saliva could drown her.
And Zhou Hao, I wonder how the discussion with his family is going. He should agree to marry me, right?
Xia Jing's mood suddenly improved a lot.
If she could marry Zhou Hao, she wouldn't have to stay in this broken village for long. Zhou Hao has connections, so she can return to the city soon. By then...
"Hey, Jingjing, why are you up?"
Mother Xia came back in a hurry, sweating profusely.
