Chapter 356 The Evil Ones Complain First

Chen Feng quickly bowed and saluted, "How are you, Mr. Wang Qi? I'm Chen Feng, the owner of Ruyi Tower. I had no intention of disturbing you, Mr. Wang Qi, but I don't know where these beggars came from. They were causing trouble at the door of my Ruyi Tower early this morning, disrupting my normal business. I hope Mr. Wang Qi will seek justice."

As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, Carrot Head started yelling at the top of his voice.

"Can you please stop looking for trouble? We are just a bunch of poor beggars. When did we start a trouble?"

"This is not your place. We'll just stay here for a while. It won't bother you at all." The man with the hooked nose glared at Chen Feng with his eyes slanted.

The pockmarked man puffed out his chest and raised his chin proudly. "Sir, you can't believe his one-sided story. We're not causing any trouble. We're just stopping here to rest. It's the owner of this shop who's so abominable. He bullies us and looks down on us poor beggars. He even threatened us, saying that if we don't leave, he'll report us to the government and have us all arrested and put in jail."

Chen Feng was furious and immediately retorted, "You are confusing right and wrong. The evil ones are the first to complain."

Wang Qichang snorted. He had heard that the newly opened Ruyilou in town had good food and was doing a booming business.

He thought the shop owner would visit him with gifts, but he waited and waited but no one came, which made him feel annoyed.

As an elder, every store opening would have to greet him, but Ruyilou ignored him.

As a local elder (chief), how could he not be angry?

Wang Qichang glanced at everyone one by one, and finally his cold gaze fell on Chen Feng.

"Are you the owner of Ruyilou? You said these people were causing trouble in front of your store, but I saw they were behaving well. They didn't block the door or stop customers. How can this be considered a disturbance?"

Chen Feng was stunned. He could hear the protection of these people in Wang Qichang's tone. Just as he was about to speak again, he heard Chen Qingqing's voice.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, I didn't expect we'd meet again."

Wang Qichang looked at Chen Qingqing with a puzzled look, "You are..."

"Wang Qichang is really a busy man. We've met before, at the cloth shop..."

"Oh~~ I remember now, it was you, that amazing little girl. I didn't expect you to have changed so much after not seeing you for a few months."

Wang Qichang narrowed his eyes. He had been coveting Liu Fengjiao's beauty for a long time, but she rejected him several times. If it weren't for the girl in front of him, he wouldn't have gotten Liu Fengjiao so easily. He really had to thank her.

Thinking of this, his tone softened a bit, "Girl, are you planning to come here for dinner?"

As soon as Wang Qichang arrived, Chen Qingqing noticed the displeasure on his face. Seeing that he was deliberately making things difficult for Chen Feng, she thought of the reason.

She smiled faintly, "Master Wang, this is my eldest brother Chen Feng. We opened the restaurant together as a partnership. We were planning to visit you..."

Wang Qichang understood the meaning of Chen Qingqing's words, and regretted her intention to make amends, but his face remained expressionless.

Wu Shiren greeted him yesterday with a valuable gift. He knew that the beggars in front of him were scoundrels in disguise, and their purpose was to ruin Ruyi Tower.

You don't burn incense when you have free time, but rush to ask for help from Buddha. It's too late when you are still useful!

Before Chen Qingqing could finish her words, Wang Qichang waved his hand and interrupted, "Miss Chen, it's a good thing that you opened a shop in Qingshui Town. Forget about visiting me. As for these beggars, they are homeless and pitiful people. Since they didn't cause any trouble, you should forgive them and don't pursue it any further."

Chen Feng lost his temper and couldn't help but speak again, "Captain Wang, we didn't pursue the matter. We just wanted them to move out of the way and not block the entrance to my shop. I run a restaurant, and if they sit outside my shop, the customers won't be able to get in!"

Wang Qichang's face, which had just begun to smile, suddenly fell. "Manager Chen, how can you be so overbearing? These people are neither causing trouble nor causing any disturbance. How can their sitting here bother you? How can it affect your business? Aren't you being unreasonable?"

Seeing that someone was backing them up, the pockmarked man raised his chin and smiled, becoming even more confident, and looked at Chen Feng with a provocative look.

Chen Feng's face flushed red with anger at Wang Qichang's words, but he suppressed his anger.

"Master Wang, you can't tell right from wrong! If we indulge them like this, what kind of rules will Qingshui Town have in the future? I, Chen Feng, have worked diligently to run this shop, and I never expected to be subjected to such harassment. I hope Master Wang can uphold justice for me."

Wang Qichang frowned and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Manager Chen, stop making trouble! This matter ends here." After that, he shook his sleeves and left.

Chen Qingqing's face was filled with disappointment. She had originally thought that Wang Qichang would help maintain public order, but she had not expected that not only would he not care, but he would speak for these pretending scoundrels.

Could it be...

Chen Qingqing looked towards Qingfeng Restaurant and saw that the restaurant, which was originally deserted, was now full of diners. Wu Shiren was standing at the door with a big smile on his face to greet them personally.

She really underestimated Wu Shiren. All these years in the town were not in vain. She and Chen Feng were still too young.

If we want to solve this problem now, we have to find another way.

Chen Feng was so angry that he was shaking all over, his fists clenched. "Little sister, what should we do? Are we just going to let these beggars block our door?"

"Brother, I don't think those beggars at the main gate are bad people. Maybe we can start with them."

Chen Feng shook his head. "I'm afraid not. I just told them to prepare food for them and to move to the back door, but they didn't listen at all."

"Brother, don't be anxious. Perhaps they have their own difficulties." Chen Qingqing's eyes fell on the dozens of beggars, thoughtfully saying, "Go and remove the coarse cloth, then cut it into quilt-sized pieces and give them to the beggars at night."

"Little sister, what are you doing?..." Chen Feng was puzzled.

Chen Qingqing didn't explain too much. "Don't ask, just do as I say."

After returning to the restaurant, Chen Qingqing observed the beggars in the house. She saw that the dozen or so beggars who were leading the trouble were dressed in rags, but they all had slicked-back hair and powdered faces. It was obvious that they were not people who had been starving for a long time. Therefore, it could be concluded that these people were fake.

But the beggars who were standing, sitting, lying or reclining were different. They were all ragged, pale and thin.

There were also several children lying in the woman's arms, and the woman's eyes were full of love.

Although these people were blocking the door, no one started to curse, but obeyed silently. They must have something to hide.

Children are innocent and sleep on the streets at night. If they are not careful, they will get sick. Giving these cloths to them can also give them a little warmth...

While she was thinking, she heard a panicked cry from outside, "Son, wake up quickly, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Qingqing looked in the direction of the sound and saw a ragged woman holding a barefoot child.

The child was pale, his eyes were closed, and he had fainted.

The beggars gathered around.

"Wake up, dog, wake up quickly."

"Mother Gouzi, this child has been ill for a few days. If he is not treated, he will be in great danger!"
