Chapter 140: Delivering Money to Old Yan (Part 1/2)

Shen Lingyao thought of a particularly worrying issue.

Was Brother Qingfeng planning to deal with Zhang Wuping next, just like he did with the three aunts?

Zhang Wang was not someone to be trifled with.

He was a major businessman in the county, acquainted with many local dignitaries.

Zhao Qingfeng didn’t respond.

He was listening to the discussions around them.

Although dealing with the aunts right at their doorstep could raise suspicions,

On the other hand, this could be considered hiding in plain sight.

After all, according to common reasoning,

One wouldn’t choose such a method for a stealthy retaliation.

Indeed,

The public eye is ‘sharp’.

Initially, some did suspect it was the work of Zhao Qingfeng and his mother.

But this theory was quickly dismissed by others.

“Impossible.”

“Who would be foolish enough to do this?”

“Besides,”

“They’ve offended too many people on a regular basis, getting beaten is no surprise.”

“Wow.”

“Physical attacks aren’t enough, they need magical attacks too?”

“My goodness!”

“Those two guys are bringing over the fecal bucket from the nearby public toilet! Quick, stay away unless you want to be splashed!”

While people were discussing,

The enraged youths had already brought over the fecal bucket.

Worried about affecting everyone’s mood for lunch, Zhao Qingfeng quickly led his family and friends to Zhang Yang’s restaurant.

They had barely walked fifty meters away

When they heard the agonized screams of the aunts,

Along with Zhao Ming and Zhang Ping’s howls,

And the spontaneous applause from the crowd, inspired by someone unknown.

“Great!”

“People who are foul-mouthed deserve to eat shit!”

“Hahaha!”

“Look, Zhao Xiuli choked on it, oh my god, disgusting, I guess I’m skipping lunch today…”

Shen Lingyao didn’t hear any of it,

Because Zhao Qingfeng was covering her ears.

Feng Biao, intrigued, also wanted to join in with Huang Hao and the others.

Qingfeng’s mother stopped them, suggesting they enjoy a good drink at lunch instead.

The group joyfully entered the restaurant, where Zhang Lianfu’s warm hospitality needs no elaboration.

After a satisfying meal, Zhao Qingfeng left Zhang Liang with many exam questions, then took Shen Lingyao back home.

Passing by their door, they noticed a yellow stain on the ground and the imprint of people lying down.

Zhao Qingfeng inquired with Old Wang at the entrance.

Old Wang pinching his nose said, “I don’t know, after the fight, those young folks got into two license plate-less cars and left. Your aunts couldn’t catch up, cursed at the onlookers a bit, and then left.”

No one suspected Zhao Qingfeng.

Even if the aunts did, it didn’t matter.

Back home, Zhao Qingfeng gathered the remaining hundred thousand plus and prepared it for delivery.

He had already discussed with Feng’s mother.

Old Yan’s health couldn’t be neglected; they decided to deliver the money to him first.

As for their own finances, they could be earned anytime after the university entrance exams were comfortably behind them.

Qingfeng’s mother, grateful for Old Yan’s care for the mother and son, fully supported Zhao Qingfeng in doing this.

Regarding the supermarket matter,

Zhao Qingfeng promised that once he fulfilled his father’s last wish and earned money, the first thing he would do was open the biggest supermarket in the county for Qingfeng’s mother.

After taking the money, Zhao Qingfeng called Liu Li.

They briefly discussed the future development of Li Ming Clothing. Zhao Qingfeng reassured Liu Li that she would be the first to distribute the products and agreed to let her develop downstream channels.

Liu Li was overjoyed.

With everything in order,

Zhao Qingfeng, taking Shen Lingyao with him and a DV, first visited Chun Tao’er. After giving her ten thousand yuan, Chun Tao’er was very happy and cooperated with Zhao Qingfeng to record a video within an hour.

In the video, she clarified that everything was a scheme by the Zhao family and accompanied Zhao Qingfeng to record another segment in front of the city government’s clock to verify the time. She also stated she would always cooperate with Zhao Ming, but it was all fake.

After completing these tasks, Zhao Qingfeng and Shen Lingyao then proceeded to Old Yan’s house.

But,

How to give the money to Old Yan became a problem.

Old Yan was so genuinely good-natured that he allowed others to owe him, but he never wanted to owe anyone else.

“Yaoyao, don’t move.”

Halfway there, Zhao Qingfeng suddenly turned, grabbed Shen Lingyao by the shoulders, then leaned in to gently press his forehead against hers.

“…”
