The factory director’s impression of the two siblings improved even more, though he still suggested they buy something else. But Qin Xiangnuan was set on her decision and there was nothing he could do, so he had no choice but to let them pick those few shops. Still, he wondered if the two kids felt embarrassed, which is why they chose such a remote location.
Actually, he was really thinking too highly of Qin Xiangnuan’s character.
Qin Xiangnuan wasn’t embarrassed at all, but rather she knew where the best shops in the building were - those were the ones she wanted. In the future, those shops would be occupied by famous international brands, and the prices of these shops reportedly became sky-high.
The factory director took them to complete the property transfer and left his contact information. With that, the transaction was completed.
As for Qin Xiangmei, she had been going to school for a month and had never bought a lotus leaf pancake to eat, possibly because Hu Li cooked for her every day. Hu Li was not a good person; she was selfish, self-serving, and unreasonable. She could even be ruthlessly cruel when necessary, but it was undeniable that she was a good mother, albeit a selfish one. Her own child was her child, as if other people’s children were leaves blown in by the wind, so Qin Xiangnuan would never like Hu Li in this lifetime, let alone forget what she did to her and her brother.
On this day, as always, Granny Lu and Qin Xiangnuan got up early to prepare their food stall.
As soon as they opened the door, students, many of whom were regulars, came by. The weather was already very cold, and especially as it got colder, business got better. There were cotton curtains outside that blocked quite a bit of the cold wind, and because there was a stove inside, it was warm. However, no matter how cold, they needed to open a window to let some air in.
When the outside curtains were pulled back, Qin Xiangnuan lifted her face and saw Qin Xiangmei, who screamed as if she’d seen a ghost.
"How come you’re here?"
"I can be wherever I want. What’s it to you?" Qin Xiangmei served a bowl of century egg and lean pork congee to a classmate.
Qin Xiangmei didn’t ask for anything to eat since she was already full of anger, and she directly rode her bicycle away. In the evening, just as Granny Lu and the two kids were about to have dinner, Hu Li, Qin Guohua, and Qin Aimei came over.
Upon seeing the three dishes and a soup on the table, as well as a plate full of meat, Hu Li twisted her face instantly.
They really made some money, huh? To think they could even afford meat, and such a large plate of it.
"Sit down, Xiang Mei, let’s eat first."
She pulled Qin Xiangmei by the hand and sat down with a plonk, picked up the chopsticks, not caring who had used them before, and began to self-serve. However, just as she was about to take her second bite, Granny Lu came over, picked up the plate from the table, and headed to the kitchen.
"You old hag, what do you think you’re doing?"
Hu Li threw her chopsticks angrily onto the floor. She was already upset for not getting any meat, and now Granny Lu’s attitude had fully enraged her.
"What could I possibly mean?" Granny Lu slammed the kitchen door and locked it. "This is my house. Who are you to me? How dare you come here, eat my food, and insult me? Who do you think you are?" Granny Lu let out these words and suddenly felt like a burden of several years had been lifted a little.
