Chapter 3: Settlement of Accounts 2

"Who said I didn't come back?" Tang Qi asked with a smile.

"I saw it with my own eyes!" Tang Jiajia stared.

"Oh, it was already one o'clock when I came back. You were asleep. How could you have seen it with your own eyes?"

Tang Qi's expression seemed to be smiling, and her small face, which was the size of a palm, was clear and beautiful, which made Tang Jiajia feel angry.

Although Tang Qi is her cousin, they are actually only half a month apart in age.

She started taking care of her skin in the first grade of junior high school, using facial masks three times a week and choosing only first-tier brands of skin care products. Even after taking good care of her skin for several years, her skin was still yellow and rough, forcing her to carefully apply a layer of foundation every day, otherwise she would not be able to go out.

Tang Qi was so poor that she couldn't even afford lip balm. She used cheap cosmetics all day long and put on makeup like a ghost, but her skin was as white and tender as an egg, and her facial features became more and more bright and beautiful.

Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.

Tang Jiajia was so annoyed that she didn't even want to eat her favorite Zhangji beef dumplings.

"Forget it. I don't want to bother with you. Hey, go buy me breakfast. I want one basket of beef dumplings, four meat buns, and three bowls of corn porridge from Zhang's Baozi, which is next to the Century Building across the street."

What’s the point of being beautiful? You still have to listen to me and do what I say. Tang Jiajia felt happy.

If it were the Tang Qi of the past, she would indeed be obedient.

Because Tang Jiajia would throw the leftover buns to her when she was in a good mood, a tray of Zhangji's beef dumplings cost twenty yuan, and her daily living expenses were less than twenty yuan, so she could not afford Zhangji's buns. Being able to eat them with Tang Jiajia occasionally was a rare luxury.

Tang Jiajia didn't know that today was different from yesterday.

"I'll give you fifty. After you finish the shopping, there'll be exactly one dollar left. I'll consider it as your errand fee. Humph, if my family hadn't provided you with food and clothing, you would have starved to death long ago."

Treat her like a beggar? Very good.

Tang Qi looked at Tang Jiajia steadily, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Should he strangle her to death or beat her to death? Tang Qi was considering 108 ways to kill her. Tang Jiajia, who was too nervous, did not notice the danger. Seeing that Tang Qi did not move, she raised her hand impatiently and threw the money over.

"Hurry up, Xiaoqing and I have an appointment to meet at Yuanmao Shopping Center at 9:30!"

By the way, I asked Yang Xiaoqing, how come Tang Qi came back home safely when I saw him being taken away last night with my own eyes?

Hearing that Tang Jiajia was going to meet Yang Xiaoqing later, Tang Qi narrowed his eyes meaningfully.

Tsk, Yang Xiaoqing? One of the culprits who killed the original owner.

Let’s start with her.

…

Tang Qi took the fifty yuan and bought two vegetable buns and four tea eggs at the bun shop in the village in the city, spending ten yuan.

The vegetable wrapped in tea eggs, paired with the white porridge and kimchi made by my grandmother, is quite delicious.

After eating, I helped my grandmother to a small park outside the village on the pretext that the weather was good, then went back to the tin house to pack up and wait for Tang Jiajia to come.

She cheated Tang Jiajia. Given Zhou Xiuzhi's stingy nature, she would not stop until she came to her house and made a huge fuss.

I dug out the original owner's schoolbag from under the bed, opened it, but there were no books, but there were a lot of cosmetics, hairbands, combs and other miscellaneous things. I threw everything, including the schoolbag, into the trash can.

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

In the closet, stockings, underwear, and panties were crumpled into a ball, and there was a pile of ripped jeans, short skirts, and tights in all sizes. They didn't look like they were bought, but rather like they were picked up from others. The school uniforms were neatly folded and placed at the bottom of the closet. I guess they were put away by my grandmother.

Tang Qi was too lazy to sort them, and threw away everything except the school uniform.

upstairs.

Tang Jiajia changed her clothes, put on some light makeup, and carried her bag to get ready to go out. Zhou Xiuzhi, who had just gotten up, came out of the bathroom and saw her leaving. She hurriedly asked, "You're going out so early in the morning without even having breakfast?"

Tang Jiajia slapped her forehead fiercely, "Oh, I almost forgot! I asked Tang Qi to buy breakfast for me, it's been more than half an hour, why hasn't she arrived yet?"

Zhou Xiuzhi didn't say anything after hearing this. Zhang's steamed bun shop was opposite the Donghe Urban Village. It was a thousand meters away from her home to the entrance of the village. She had to go around most of the street and cross the road. It would take at least twenty minutes to go back and forth. Tang Jiajia was too lazy to walk, so she always asked Tang Qi to run errands for her. She had been doing this for more than ten years.

"That damn girl, she has finally gotten here. I'll go down and take a look."

After writing this chapter, I kneaded the dough myself and made meat buns in the evening. However, the filling was too salty and I was thirsty the whole night.
