Chapter 23 I Want to See Her Three
"Show me some colors."
"Okay, wait a moment."
There are five colors. Tang Qi didn't think for long, "Black, Starry Sky Blue."
The lady at the counter smiled in understanding and said, "It's hard to choose, right? Several colors in this series are very beautiful."
Tang Qi took out 20,000 yuan in cash from her handbag. "I want both the black and the starry blue. Give me the receipt."
"Ah? Oh, okay, please wait a moment." The lady at the counter smiled happily. She was almost getting off work and she met a big customer. She was very happy.
After paying the money, the lady at the counter personally processed a mobile phone card for her. Her service was patient and thoughtful. Tang Qi was very satisfied and smiled at her, which was a rare occasion.
The lady at the counter blushed immediately.
The young lady is so beautiful and generous, I wish she was a man.
After buying the phone, Tang Qi went to the second floor to look at clothes. This mall is only for middle-class consumption, and most of the clothing brands are domestic second- and third-tier brands.
Tang Qi has only one requirement for clothing: simple and comfortable, and she doesn't care whether it is a famous brand or not.
I picked out three sets of summer clothes for my grandmother, and she bought herself two sets of T-shirts with sports casual pants and a pair of AD running shoes. Then she took a taxi back to Donghe Urban Village with her things.
"Grandma, I'm back."
As soon as she entered the house, Tang Qi realized something was wrong. Although the table, stool and shoe rack at the door had been rearranged, they were obviously in a different position than in the afternoon. The floor was also wet, and a corner of the cloth wardrobe bracket had even collapsed.
She pursed her lips and didn't ask anything. It couldn't be anyone else except Zhou Xiuzhi.
Grandma was sitting on the bed, looking distraught. She barely perked up when she heard her voice, "Qiqi is back. Go wash up."
Tang Qi put down the things in his hands, walked to his grandmother, and glanced at the bed. The quilt cover and sheets were of different shades of color, obviously having been splashed with water.
"Hey, just as you left, your aunt came and said that Jiajia's tooth was broken by you and she wanted to pay for the medical expenses."
Tang Qi felt as if her heart was being torn apart when she saw her grandmother's sad and helpless look. She wondered what the old lady had done wrong. How dare Zhou Xiuzhi bully such a weak elder?
She squatted in front of the old man, held his hand, and comforted him softly: "It's okay, I will go to see my aunt tomorrow."
"Okay, you talk to your uncle and aunt nicely, make amends and apologize. They will calm down and won't embarrass you anymore. It's your grandma who is useless, blind and old, and can't protect you." Grandma choked and sighed.
"Don't worry, grandma, I'll take care of it tomorrow."
She lifted up the bed and looked, the whole bed including the mattress underneath was soaked, making it impossible to sleep.
There are many daily rental houses in Donghe Urban Village. Tang Qi found one with a clean environment. The boss also knew her and did not even check her ID card. He only registered her name and phone number.
After taking his grandmother to the rented room, Tang Qi went to take a shower first. When he came out, his grandmother was still sitting on the bed.
"Grandma, you go to sleep first. I'll wait for a while."
Grandma asked worriedly, "It costs a lot to live here, Qiqi, where do you get the money?"
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
Tang Qi was prepared. He took his grandmother's hand and put two 100-yuan bills in it. "I went to work, helping people hand out flyers. These 200 yuan are my wages."
Grandma held the money in her hand and said distressedly, "It's hard to distribute flyers. The weather is so hot. You have had fair skin since you were a child. It won't look good if you get tanned."
"Don't worry, I go to shopping malls and subway entrances, so I won't get sunburned."
Grandma returned the money to her, "Keep it and buy some good food. You've lost weight again." Then she held Tang Qi's hand and felt up along her wrist, with a look of relief and sadness on her face, "You've grown up so big, and you're more sensible than before. Grandma won't live for many more years. From now on, you can only rely on yourself..."
