It's not even noon yet.
Tang Qing has returned to Qingyan City.
Ma Xiaofei was picked up by his relatives, and he would stay with them for one night before taking the train to Jinling at noon the next day. Before leaving, he gave Tang Qing a... big hug.
Tang Qing asserted: it's useless, he would rather get an apple, at least he could eat it.
Afterwards.
First, he sent Lin Jiaxue home, then he went back to his uncle's house.
At the moment.
The Qin sisters, Shiqi and Shiyu, had finished their week-long part-time jobs and each had earned over 2300 RMB. Half of it was forcibly taken by their aunt before they could even enjoy it, and the other half went into Qin Shiqi's piggy bank.
Because of this, Qin Shiqi held a deep grudge. She complained incessantly, even calling Tang Qing to vent her frustrations.
Fine.
His responsibility as a big brother apparently includes the task of listening to complaints too.
As soon as he walked in the door.
