Wang Xia's home in Hongtu Residential Area, the provincial capital.

Wang Xia bathed Li Guifen, changed her clothes, and trimmed her hair. Li Guifen quickly transformed, putting on her home pajamas and looking much more refreshed.

"Big brother, I'll help her find the lice on her head. Why don't you go and cook something?" Wang Xia said.

"Hmm." Wang Peng walked into the kitchen, looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator, and started making congee with preserved egg and lean pork.

He kept thinking about it. The doctor said Li Guifen's dementia might be due to a shock. What kind of shock could possibly cause someone to become mentally impaired?

Wang Peng considered many possibilities, then rejected them one by one. However, he was certain that this matter was definitely related to Wang Cheng.

In the living room, Wang Xia ran her fingers through Li Guifen's short hair, picking lice from her head.

Li Mengjiao, who was helping out from the side, casually said, "Xiaoxia, your older brother is going to settle down with me for a long time, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of him."

Wang Xia paused for a moment, then nodded: "She is, after all, my own mother, so it is only right that I take care of her. Wang Cheng... he is a beast."

“You’re right, your older brother knew he was a beast long ago.” Li Mengjiao sneered, then added, “He’ll do as many bad things as he has money. What your older brother needs to do now is either make him penniless or send him to jail.”

Wang Xia nodded, agreeing with Wang Peng's approach. This was something she wanted to do too, but she lacked the ability.

Li Guifen sat blankly in the chair, like a wooden figure.

Li Mengjiao sighed softly: "She was strong-willed her whole life, and she struggled her whole life, which ultimately drove her to the brink of insanity. If it weren't for you and your older brother, she probably wouldn't have lived past this year."

"Hmph!" Wang Xia shook her head. "She can't blame anyone else, she can only blame herself. Sister-in-law, don't be angry because of her."

"I'm not angry. I just don't want your older brother to feel bad." Li Mengjiao glanced at Li Guifen again and shook her head.

Wang Peng prepared the preserved egg and lean pork congee, squatted down in front of Li Guifen, and carefully fed her.

She opened her mouth to drink the porridge, but her eyes were fixed on Wang Peng. Wang Peng asked, "Do you still recognize me? My name is Wang Peng?"

Li Guifen didn't respond at all; she was completely dazed. She only drank half a bowl of porridge, her appetite was pitifully small.

It was already dark when Wang Xia said, "Brother and sister-in-law, please stay here. We have new quilts at home."

"Okay." Wang Peng nodded, then called Hu Mingyue to tell her he wouldn't be home tonight.

There are three bedrooms. Wang Xia gave the master bedroom to Wang Peng and Li Mengjiao, and settled Li Guifen in the room next to the master bedroom.

Wang Peng woke up in the middle of the night needing to urinate and got up to go to the toilet. As soon as he opened the bedroom door, he was startled to find Li Guifen standing by the window.

He hurried over and closed the window: "Why are you out here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

Li Guifen didn't say anything, she just stood quietly by the window, looking at the darkness outside.

"Let's go back to sleep." Wang Peng grabbed her arm and slowly moved her towards the bedroom.

Their commotion woke Wang Xia, who came to the living room in her pajamas: "Big brother, what's going on?"

“She crawled out in the middle of the night.” Wang Peng led her to the bedroom, and the brother and sister helped her into bed together.

"Big brother, you go back to sleep. I'll sleep with her," Wang Xia said.

Wang Peng nodded, went to the bathroom to relieve himself, and then went back to his bedroom to sleep.

The next morning at nine o'clock, the doctor brought over a bunch of medicines and put Li Guifen on an IV drip.

Looking at Li Guifen lying on the bed, Wang Peng suddenly felt that it was good for her to spend the rest of her life like this, at least it would be much easier.

"Brother, I'll take care of her at home. Why don't you find some reliable caregivers?" Wang Xia said softly.

“I’ve already called Du Lei, and the caregiver will be here soon,” Wang Peng replied.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Wang Peng opened the door, and there stood Du Lei, followed by a middle-aged man and a woman.

Du Lei introduced the couple: the man was named Ma Gaige and the woman was named Sun Meihua; both of them knew how to do laundry and cook.

Judging from their appearances, Wang Peng thought they seemed like honest people, so he asked Du Lei, "Have you agreed on the salary with them?"

"It's settled, and we've already signed the employment contract," Du Lei said.

"Brother Ma, Sister-in-law Zhao, my sister and I have to work during the day, so please take care of us," Wang Peng said with a smile.

Ma Gaige hurriedly waved his hand: "Boss Wang, my daughter works at your supermarket, you can rest assured about me."

Sun Meihua said urgently, "My son also works at Brothers Supermarket. Mr. Wang, I will do my best to take good care of the old lady."

"Thank you so much, please." Wang Peng finally felt relieved.

At first, he was worried that the caregiver would secretly abuse Li Guifen, but now he's not worried anymore. The two of them definitely don't want their child to be expelled by their brother.

"Mengjiao, are you going to work today? Lei and I are going to the company." Wang Peng asked.

"We won't go. Xiaoxia and I will try our best to settle her in," Li Mengjiao said softly, glancing at Li Guifen.

"Okay, call me if anything comes up." Wang Peng said, then led Du Lei downstairs.

"Brother Peng, I have good news. The tax authorities have approved our tax exemption application for this year," Du Lei said with a smile.

"Oh? This is a good thing." Wang Peng felt a surge of excitement. Finally, he could take the initiative to attack Brilliant Store No. 5.

The two drove to Brothers Supermarket Store No. 5 and went to Ace's office.

"Brother Lei, I'm thinking of using the tax exemption we received to do some promotional activities to thank our customers who support us. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Du Lei immediately understood Wang Peng's meaning. Rewarding loyal customers was just a side effect; the core objective was to strike at Brilliant Store No. 5.

He nodded immediately: "I think it's entirely feasible. We rarely do promotions, so why don't we go big this time?"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Peng smiled and gave Du Lei a thumbs up: "Brother Lei, the person who understands me best in this world, besides Mingzhu and Mengjiao, is you."

"Similarly, the person who understands me best in this world is you, Brother Peng." Du Lei frankly admitted that he had seen through Wang Peng's thoughts.

Wang Peng laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Lei, I trust you to handle this."

Du Lei said eagerly, "Don't worry, Brother Peng, I'll definitely make sure Wang Cheng is skinned alive this time."

“Yes, peel off his skin layer by layer until he has nothing left.” Wang Peng stared at his hands, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

Du Lei, frightened by that look, immediately said, "Brother Peng, there's more good news. Zhuang Hua has gained Wang Cheng's trust and become his driver."

"Great!" Wang Peng slapped his thigh excitedly. As long as Wang Cheng trusted Zhuang Hua, his misfortune was not far off.

Du Lei whispered, "Brother Peng, Xiao Zhuang wants to see you. Can you spare the time?"

"What's wrong?" Wang Peng shook his head. "If it's not important, I try to avoid seeing him."

Du Lei said, "It's nothing important. He just wants to contact his younger brother who lives in England."
