Chapter 456
Chen Guifeng continued, "Sanqing and Siqing even went to the police, saying that people from our compound beat them up. We told the police that we didn't beat them up, but that it was they who had their eyes on Duan Dawei's house and kept bullying him, asking him to give it to them. Someone must have been fed up and wanted to stand up for Dawei, so they beat Sanqing and Siqing in the name of our compound. Sanqing and Siqing were furious, but the police couldn't find any witnesses, so they couldn't do anything to us. Sanqing and Siqing got even more angry and tried to make trouble with the police, so the police gave them a lesson."
Chen Guifeng spoke with great excitement, while Haohaoranran and Qiqi listened with great interest, their mouths opened into O shapes.
"Grandma, you guys are so awesome." Qiqi said.
"Did Sanqing and Siqing bully Uncle Dawei again later?" Ranran asked.
"No more." Chen Guifeng said, "How dare they bully Duan Dawei again? Every time they bully us, we aunts will beat them up and make them suffer in silence!"
Haohaoranran and Qiqi clapped their hands in amazement, exclaiming, "Grandma, you guys are amazing!"
"You are just like the heroes in the storybooks, drawing your swords to fight against injustice when you see it!" Haohao said.
Chen Guifeng was so impressed by the praise from the three little kids that she kept smiling and almost lost her bearings.
"Guifeng, you are all at home." Someone shouted at the gate of the yard.
Chen Guifeng smiled when she saw the person coming. "Fan Hua's mom, I was just telling them about how we stood up for Dawei. The three little guys said we were the heroes in that storybook."
Aunt Fan smiled sheepishly: "I never thought I would have the courage to beat someone up with you guys."
That day, Chen Guifeng and Duan's mother called Aunt Qian, Aunt Donghong, and Aunt Fan together and asked Duan's mother to tell them about how Duan Dawei was bullied by Sanqing and Siqing.
After Duan's mother finished speaking, Chen Guifeng continued, "The police can't do anything about this. Sanqing and Siqing are too insidious. They always drag Dawei to a deserted place before beating him. No one saw him, so the police can't find evidence and can't punish them. I plan to give them a taste of their own medicine. Since they beat Dawei, we'll beat them too! It's just Duan's mother and I, so we're still a little weak. I want to call on more aunts to teach Sanqing and Siqing a lesson together!"
"We aunts should just take the lead in this matter. Don't bring your own children with you. If we are really arrested by the police, we can ensure that our children will not be implicated."
Aunt Qian, Aunt Donghong, and Aunt Fan already had a good relationship with Duan's mother. In everyone's eyes, Duan Dawei was a good kid. Upon hearing how Duan Dawei was being bullied by Sanqing and Siqing, Aunt Qian and the other two were filled with righteous indignation. Without giving it much thought, they decided to join Chen Guifeng and Duan's mother.
Chen Guifeng felt that the five of them were not powerful enough, so she and Duan's mother went to persuade other aunts in the compound, and finally gathered twelve aunts.
Now, when Aunt Fan thinks back to what happened that day, she feels like she is dreaming.
"It was the first time in my life that I beat someone up with so many people. It felt amazing." Aunt Fan said with a smile.
"Me too," Chen Guifeng said, "Seeing Sanqing and Siqing squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands as we beat them, I felt relieved."
"That's right." Aunt Fan laughed. "Before Master Duan died, I ran into Sanqing and Siqing in the slum. They were both very fierce, and I was a little afraid of them. But when they were beaten by so many of us that day and couldn't fight back, I realized that they weren't scary at all."
"Yes, just like I said to Fu Yue and the others just now, Sanqing and Siqing are just paper tigers!" said Chen Guifeng.
After talking about Sanqing and Siqing, Chen Guifeng asked Aunt Fan, "What brings you here?"
Aunt Fan handed over the malted milk, canned meat, canned fruit, and a leather envelope she was carrying. "I'm here to thank Fu Yue. If it weren't for her, Fan Hua wouldn't be hanging around right now. Now that Fan Hua has a job, and he's doing something he's passionate about, I, as his mother, don't have to worry about him for the time being."
"There's two hundred yuan in the envelope. It's not a lot, just a token of my appreciation. Fuyue, please accept it."
Ye Fuyue was too embarrassed to accept it, so she said truthfully, "I don't know how long my furniture shop can stay open. It's different from those iron rice bowls in the factory. Besides, my shop is looking for carpenters anyway. Even if Fan Hua doesn't want to do it, I will hire someone else. Auntie, you really don't have to be so polite."
"You could have hired someone else, but you gave the job to Fan Hua, giving him a job. Just for this, I should thank you." Aunt Fan pushed the item towards her again: "Just take it."
Ye Fuyue tried to refuse again, but finally accepted it when she saw that she couldn't refuse anymore.
Seeing that Ye Fuyue accepted it, Aunt Fan felt relieved. Otherwise, she always felt that her family owed Ye Fuyue.
"I've noticed that recently Shen Shun has been asking Fan Hua to go out with Tian Hao and Master Wan to make furniture every day. They work all day long. Sometimes, after dinner, they still go to make furniture." Aunt Fan said.
Recently, the decoration of Fuxing Furniture Shop has been almost completed. Master Wan and his colleagues make furniture in the workshop behind the shop.
"Yes," Ye Fuyue said, "Once they have finished making the furniture samples, the shop can officially open. They have been working hard on it recently."
Aunt Fan nodded and said, "When the furniture store opens, I will definitely go and show my support."
"Okay." Ye Fuyue replied with a smile.
…
Although it was still some time before Fuxing Furniture Shop officially opened, Ye Fuyue was busy. Her most pressing task was to design more furniture. She had already designed six pieces of furniture and had Master Wan and his team make them. However, six pieces of furniture were definitely not enough for a furniture shop.
So, while Master Wan and others were busy making furniture, Ye Fuyue was busy designing furniture.
At home, Haohao Ranran and Qiqi would always come to her every now and then to share this and that with her. Ye Fuyue couldn't discourage the children's desire to share, so she could only stop the design draft she was drawing and listen patiently to them. Although the children's desire to share was satisfied, the constant interruption of their design ideas slowed down Ye Fuyue's speed in drawing the design draft.
Therefore, Ye Fuyue liked to stay in the bun shop to draw designs, leaving her three children to the care of Shen Yao and Chen Guifeng.
Whenever this happened, she would always sigh in her heart that it was not easy for women, and it was too difficult to balance career and family. Fortunately, Shen Yao was more responsible and would not leave the three children to her alone. Otherwise, asking a woman to balance career and family would be putting her in a difficult position.
