CHAPTER 207: CHAPTER 199: LOVE AND HATE

"Liu Qiqi, why are you following me? Such a copycat!"

Zhou Nana made the first move, but as soon as she spoke, Tian Sisi wanted to laugh. Weren’t they the ones who arrived here first? Does Miss Nana think too highly of herself?

"Oh wow, are you blind? Don’t you know who arrived first? I should be the one asking you, why are you following me? Such a copycat!" Liu Qiqi wasn’t lacking in combat strength either.

This god-like twist stunned everyone. Could it be that Zhou Nana just attracts trouble? Why does she encounter enemies even on a mountain hike?

"You’re the copycat! You shameless little devil!" Zhou Nana placed her hands on her hips, looking exactly like an old lady cursing in the alleys.

"Who is this shameless little devil cursing at?"

"Of course, I’m cursing at you!"

"Oh wow, I knew you were the shameless little devil."

Liu Qiqi VS Zhou Nana, Liu Qiqi triumphed completely, raising her chin like a queen, she snorted at Zhou Nana, who was being held back by Xiaomi, and then pulled the entertained Tian Sisi up the mountain.

"Mo Xiaomi, stop holding me, I want to beat that little devil."

Zhou Nana wouldn’t give up after failing to gain the upper hand in verbal sparring, she rushed forward, wanting to start a fight, but Xiaomi held her back.

"Zhou Nana, are you a mad dog? Biting anyone you see. If it weren’t for your own indiscriminate biting, why would that young girl curse at you?"

Mo Xiaomi was almost infuriated to death; this cousin was a real nutcase, always causing trouble. The problem was, she couldn’t out-argue or outfight others, always ending up the loser in her own mess, making her aunt and uncle step in to clean up, to no avail.

Tian Pingxiu was already sick of this Shanghainese; she clenched her fist and waved it at Zhou Nana, threatening, "Zhou Nana, if you keep causing trouble, I’ll flatten you with one punch!"

As the saying goes, three kind words cannot compare to one punch. Zhou Nana looked at Tian Pingxiu’s stocky build, then at her own thin arms and legs, and had to quiet down begrudgingly, glaring hatefully at Liu Qiqi’s direction.

Gao Qiao Mei sneakily glanced at Zhou Nana, a hint of scorn on her lips. Such a fool, wasting such good conditions. If it were her, with parents holding formal jobs and a Shanghai hukou, she’d definitely live like a princess, loved by everyone.

Unlike this idiot, holding a winning hand but playing it terribly, Gao Qiao Mei felt indignant inside. She was smarter, prettier, and more likable than Zhou Nana, yet no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t surpass Zhou Nana, just because Zhou Nana was better at ’choosing her birth’.

Tian Sisi quietly asked Qiqi, "Sister Qiqi, what was up with that Zhou Nana just now? Do you know her?"

Actually, Tian Sisi wanted to ask if they had some deep-seated hatred, but Zhang Mingliu had said that as a lady, she must speak elegantly and tactfully. Even cursing someone should not include any vulgar words. After a few months of learning, Tian Sisi had already learned to automatically censor any inelegant and tactless words.

Once Qiqi heard the name Zhou Nana, she got irritated and started gossiping about all the ins and outs of their animosity starting from kindergarten, the story dramatic and thrilling, truly more captivating than a storytelling session, Liu Qiqi spoke until her mouth was dry, pausing only to eat some snow three times before finishing.

Although the story is long, the summary is quite simple. In a nutshell, it’s about the jealous rivalry history of two little girls with princess syndrome, and the lucky guy who is now in their class and also their class monitor.

Of course, the people involved don’t see it that way.

"This Zhou Nana is just jealous of me. I’m prettier than her, have more clothes than her, better grades, and teachers like me more. Plus, my dad works at the bank, and my mom is a junior high school teacher, while Zhou Nana’s dad is a boiler maker, and her mom works in a collective. She doesn’t have anything that can compare to me."

Liu Qiqi spoke arrogantly with her neck stretched out like a swan.

On the other side, Zhou Nana also spoke proudly, "Hmph, Liu Qiqi is just jealous of me. I’m prettier than her, I sing and dance better than her. Every time there’s a school choir, I’m always in the front row, and the teachers like me more!"

However, nobody responded to Zhou Nana’s words. Xiao Mi, Tian Ping’an and Tian Pingxiu really didn’t want to talk to her, only Gao Qiamei whispered a few words in response.

It didn’t take much effort for Gao Qiamei to find out everything about Zhou Nana’s family situation – how big their rooms were, what her parents did, and how many people were in her family from the clueless Zhou Nana.

On the other side, Tian Sisi had a good impression of Mo Xiaomi. She smiled sweetly at Mo Xiaomi, "Sister Xiaomi."

Although Tian Sisi has changed a bit, Mo Xiaomi remembered her well and greeted her with a smile, apologetically telling Tian Ping’an and the others, "Sorry, I’ll take my cousin back tomorrow."

"Sister Xiaomi, Zhou Nana is just being neurotic, it’s not related to you," Tian Pingxiu said nonchalantly. Zhou Nana glared at her fiercely. She wasn’t being neurotic!

Mo Xiaomi smiled and decided in her heart that she would definitely take Nana back with her tomorrow. If she stayed here any longer, it might be difficult even for her cousin.

After Tian Sisi came back, she begged the Old Man to dig a few new traps on the mountain. Every few days, she would go up to the mountain to set up game, which was more convenient than hunting on the mountain and wouldn’t arouse suspicion.

Today’s game was what she had put in the morning, consisting of two rabbits and one pheasant, each placed in three of the traps, which totaled five and weren’t far apart. Tian Qinghua saw that the grass on all five traps was disturbed and was delighted.

"Today we are in for a treat." He told Hu Weichao and the others before rushing forward to check; Tang Qiubai also followed eagerly.

"There are three rabbits and one pheasant!"

Hu Weixin and Hu Weichao excitedly exclaimed, seeing the use of traps for the first time and are very thrilled.

Tian Sisi did not expect an extra rabbit, probably it had fallen into the trap in the morning.

Tian Qinghua took the rabbits and the pheasant out of the traps. The pheasant was already frozen dead while the rabbit was still barely alive, twitching on the ground.

Tian Ping’an and Tian Pingxiu were extremely envious. The feng shui of Sisi’s house was truly exceptional. While the same traps elsewhere might work only once in ten times, Sisi’s house would have a frequent harvest every few days.

Tian Shouhua handed one of the rabbits to Tian Ping’an, "Ping’an, this rabbit is for you."

Tian Ping’an couldn’t accept such a gift—it was seven to eight pounds of meat! Tian Shouhua simply threw the rabbit into Tian Ping’an’s arms. Before Tian Ping’an could say anything more, he was glared at by Tian Shouhua and decided to graciously accept, thanking him with a big smile.
