131: He is so old and thick-skinned that even a slap can't penetrate him

The driver got out of the silver commercial van, opened the rear door with one hand, and held up a sunshade with the other.

Chen Wenhao helped an Old Mrs. Chen out of the car.

Seeing that sharp-tongued, mean old face, Jiang Fei, who was inside the store, felt an instant surge of hatred.

It was Chen Fengping’s birth mother, her “good” grandmother.

Ever since she was old enough to understand, she knew her grandmother didn't like her mother.

It was only because her mother hadn't given birth to a son for the Chen family and was often busy with business outside.

Her grandmother thought her mother was incompetent, and every time they met, she would mock her, and she would either hit or scold Jiang Fei, calling her a worthless girl.

Chen Fengping was able to have an affair for over twenty years without being discovered, all thanks to her grandmother providing cover.

Even later, when the affair was exposed, her grandmother righteously told her mother,

“If your own belly isn't up to par, don’t blame others for helping me have a grandson! The Old Chen family can’t end with you!”

Eating her family’s food, spending her family’s money, and still wanting her mother and Fang Yan to call each other sisters.

How shameless!

Su Liuyuan also noticed the two people outside and didn't hide his disgust: “Why are they here again?”

“They come every two days, insisting on seeing you, Captain. Last time I splashed them with a basin of dirty water before they left. I’ll go chase them away.”

“No need.” Jiang Fei lowered her voice: “Go stand guard at the door.”

Although West Street was under Lu Yu’s jurisdiction, she didn't want to cause trouble for her teammates.

A scumbag who delivered himself to her doorstep, it would be a waste not to beat him.

Understanding what Jiang Fei wanted to do, Su Liuyuan got up and went to the door, hanging up the 'Closed' sign as he did so.

The driver and Chen Wenhao also helped Old Mrs. Chen in, one on each side.

Old Mrs. Chen spoke as soon as she entered: “You worthless girl, you finally decided to come out.”

“Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get me a glass of cold water!”

If it weren't for Fengping being inconvenient to show his face, fearing being pointed at, she wouldn't have bothered to come out in this high heat to find this worthless girl.

Jiang Fei: “Do you even deserve it?”

Chen Wenhao: “How dare you speak to Grandma like that?!”

“She’s your grandmother, not mine.”

“You!”

“Alright, my good grandson, let’s not get angry, it’s not worth getting sick over.” Old Mrs. Chen coaxed Chen Wenhao, but after turning her head, her face darkened as she ordered Jiang Fei:

“I won’t waste words. Before the Exchange closes, you and my good grandson go handle the procedures and transfer both stores to him.”

“What do you, a girl, want to do by showing your face all day instead of finding someone to marry and settle down? Are you trying to flirt around?”

“Just like your mother, always running around outside, associating with a bunch of disreputable people.”

There was no need for Jiang Fei to speak; Zhou Wanqing and Jiang Xiaoshi went all out.

“What you just said is even more unnecessary than pointless talk. Our boss can do whatever she wants, what does it have to do with you?”

“You’re so old that the dirt is almost up to your neck, why aren’t you hurrying to make your burial clothes at home? Why are you running around blindly? The Safety Shelter doesn’t have a funeral clothing store.”

Jiang Xiaoshi: “Old age, thick skin, can’t even be pierced by a slap!”

Even Yao Jin, who had come to help clean, couldn't listen to Old Mrs. Chen’s words anymore.

“What does her marriage have to do with you? Did you give birth to her or raise her?”

“What era are we in? You still have such a patriarchal mindset. When society opened up, did you hide underground to avoid it?”

He and the dead pauper didn’t get along, but he never coveted her two stores. This old pauper is truly shameless!

Old Mrs. Chen clutched her chest in anger: “You, you’re too much!”

“Grandma, sit down and rest. I’ll teach them a lesson for you!”

Chen Wenhao walked towards Jiang Fei, intending to strike, but was suddenly kicked to the ground by her.

Zhou Wanqing immediately went to close the iron gate.

Jiang Fei pressed down on Chen Wenhao and fiercely swung her fist.

“Don’t hit my good grandson!” Old Mrs. Chen, anxious, had just stood up when she suddenly collapsed, losing consciousness.

Jiang Xiaoshi, standing behind, took a wooden stick and hit her on the head again.

The driver was stunned, unsure whether to help Chen Wenhao or save Old Mrs. Chen.

Yao Jin was also dumbfounded.

No one told him they were going to fight!!!

Seeing the driver about to deal with Jiang Fei, Yao Jin hesitated for a moment, then raised the mop in his hand and slapped the opponent.

Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!

Finally, Zhou Wanqing took the wooden stick from Jiang Xiaoshi and brutally knocked out the driver.

“You better put down that mop, you’re splashing water all over me.”

Jiang Xiaoshi: “Brother Yao seems to have washed my face.”

Yao Jin awkwardly put down the mop.

It was his first time hitting someone; he wasn't very skilled.

He should have called Niu Er over!

Jiang Fei also stopped her hands.

Chen Wenhao was beaten half to death, unconscious on the ground.

Finding three large sacks from the small warehouse, Jiang Fei put the three people inside, then asked Su Liuyuan to come back and help, and together with Yao Jin and the others, threw them into the back of the pickup truck.

Yao Jin hesitated a bit: “Isn’t it unsafe to dump bodies when they’re not dead yet?”

“Who said anything about killing people?”

“I’m taking them to a good place.”

With that, Jiang Fei drove away.

The afternoon sun was strong; staying out too long would make one’s skin hurt, so no one was sleeping outside in the Common sleeping area.

Jiang Fei put on a black balaclava, took out a gun and four bags of bread, then entered the factory building to find two helpers.

“Drag these three sacks to the rooftop.”

With food to eat, the two quickly did as Jiang Fei asked.

Afraid of the gun in her hand, the helpers dared not be curious about the contents of the bags at all, and ran off as soon as they got the bread.

Following the ladder, Jiang Fei went up to the rooftop, untied all the sacks, and let the three people bask in the sun.

Then, she took out a knife and cut off Old Mrs. Chen’s tongue.

She liked to talk, didn’t she?

Then she would be a mute from now on.

Noticing that Chen Wenhao’s gunshot wound on his right hand had healed, Jiang Fei attached a silencer and fired another shot.

His left hand was not spared either; a shot was fired into his palm.

Now it was symmetrical.

Jiang Fei got off the rooftop, drove out of the Common sleeping area before taking off her black balaclava.

Returning to Ping An Supermarket, the silver commercial van at the entrance had moved, parked by the roadside.

Someone from the Chen family came?

Jiang Fei walked into the store in confusion, and Su Liuyuan tossed her a car key.

“Wan Qing took it from the driver just now.”

“Well done, I’ll add a chicken leg for you tonight.”

Hearing Jiang Fei’s words, Zhou Wanqing’s lips curved into an uncontrollable smile.

Her Benefactor praised her!

Yao Jin curiously looked at the back of the pickup truck: “Where did you take them?”

“Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t ask about.”

“Hmph, I don’t even want to know!” Yao Jin retorted stubbornly and returned to the branch store.

Jiang Fei then called Jiang Zhengkang and Han Yang, telling everyone about photodermatitis.

After a round of checks, Jiang Zhengkang, Han Yang, and Jiang Xiaoshi all had dermatitis.

The Common sleeping area was far from West Street, and since they had no car, they could only walk, spending at least two hours in the sun every day.

Not only did they have dermatitis, but they also had multiple sunburns on their bodies.

Su Liuyuan and Zhou Wanqing only had heat rash, and their situation was not serious.

As for Yao Jin, Niu Er, and Yao Damang, they had people pick them up and drop them off by car every day, so they didn't get any sun exposure and had nothing to worry about.

“The bags on the table contain medicine for treating photodermatitis. Uncle, each of you gets one bag, and the extra one will be kept in the store for backup.”

Jiang Fei thought for a moment, then added: “From now on, the three of you will live in the lounge on the second floor of the branch store. Don’t run around and tire yourselves out.”

“The commercial van keys are for you. It will be convenient for you to go out if anything happens.”

“Later, drive to the Common sleeping area and get your things back.”

The lounge at the branch store was larger than Ping An’s and could accommodate four or five people.

Jiang Zhengkang and the others repeatedly thanked her.

After eating at the store, Jiang Fei drove back to Mingshang Apartment Complex.

As soon as she reached the third floor, she saw a man standing at her doorstep.

Wearing a simple tank top and beach shorts, his exposed arms were strong and powerful, a bag slung over one shoulder, his brows gently curved.

“I’m back to live here.”
