Ye Ning's reminders to Gao Feng were originally intended as a precaution.
To everyone's surprise, someone actually came knocking on the door within three days.
The person who came was a short, stocky old woman with a triple chin, triangular eyes, and a bulbous nose, resembling a fat toad.
She aggressively led two middle-aged women to smash the warehouse door lock.
"What are you doing! Stop it right now, what are you doing!" Gao Feng and Sister Li rushed forward to stop them upon hearing the noise.
"You've come at the right time! These warehouses are all yours, right? Open all these locks right now!" The arrogant old woman, seeing Gao Feng and Sister Li arrive, not only didn't stand in their way, but instead put her hands on her hips and shouted righteously.
“This is our young lady’s warehouse, why should we open it for you!” Gao Feng did not back down at all.
"Why should I? Because I'm a member of the management committee for this community, Zhang Fenglai." The middle-aged woman named Zhang Fenglai stood with her hands on her hips, her face full of pride.
"These are difficult times, and the Federation has suggested that we help each other. I am now officially informing you that I have taken over your warehouse. Alright, give me the keys now, and you can leave!"
Sister Li was so angry she couldn't speak. She had seen shameless people before, but never anyone as shameless as this. Wasn't this blatant robbery?
"You've taken over, why should I?" Sister Li argued vehemently.
"Why should I?! Because I'm a member of this neighborhood's management committee! You won't pay, huh? Then you're deliberately resisting the federal government's proposal!"
"What did you say? Are you threatening me, you old hag! What neighborhood management committee? I've never heard of such an organization before. You're probably just making this up to fool people, aren't you?" Sister Li also had a fiery temper.
"What? You're saying I'm lying to you? Why don't you go around asking around? Everyone in this neighborhood knows me, Zhang Fenglai."
After receiving Li Jie's questioning, Aunt Zhang immediately lost her temper. She pointed her index finger at the sky and the ground, and her spittle almost sprayed onto Gao Feng and Li Jie's faces.
At this moment, the two middle-aged women behind Aunt Zhang also began to play the role of wingmen, constantly echoing her bluffing.
As a law-abiding citizen, Gao Feng was subconsciously intimidated by their identities.
"Don't rush, don't rush, let's talk it out slowly!" Gao Feng quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Gao Feng, don't worry about them, they're obviously just scammers trying to take advantage of the situation!" Sister Li said angrily.
"What! You're saying I'm a liar! Fine! You're deliberately disrupting the rescue plan!" No matter what, let's muddy the waters first and then slap a big accusation on them.
"So what if I say you're scammers? What do you mean by requisitioning our warehouse? Do you have any documentation?"
“These are special times. Where are you going to find any documents? Everyone around here knows me, Zhang Fenglai. Everyone calls me Sister Zhang respectfully. How dare you two question me? You are showing contempt for my character!”
“If you don’t have any documents, then you’re scammers!” Sister Li wasn’t as easily fooled as Gao Feng.
"Great! You guys!" Aunt Zhang's fingers trembled.
"Don't rush, let's talk this out!"
“Speak slowly, how can you speak slowly! Look at what your wife said…” Picking on the weak, Aunt Zhang immediately started shoving Gao Feng.
“She’s not my wife, she is…” Gao Feng explained subconsciously, but that wasn’t Zhang Dama’s purpose, and of course she wouldn’t care about such details with the supplies in the warehouse.
"Gao Feng, get out of here! These damned women, I'll teach them a lesson!" Sister Li couldn't take it anymore and went up to fight them.
But this played right into their hands.
"Help! Someone's being hit! Someone's being hit! Someone's hitting an old lady! Come quick!"
Although the population of City A has decreased by at least two-thirds since the apocalypse, the number of pedestrians on the streets has increased significantly after the rescue efforts.
Zhang Fenglai's voice was like a pig being slaughtered. After her persistent screaming, a lot of onlookers quickly gathered around, pointing and whispering.
She was already a notorious shrew in the area, and arguing was practically her specialty. When she saw people gathering around, she put on an even more enthusiastic performance.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Isn't that Committee Member Zhang? How come she's entangled with this family again? How pitiful!" someone muttered quietly.
"Quick, quick! Stop talking, or Aunt Zhang will scold you for three days and three nights! Just focus on watching the show!" the person next to him quickly advised.
While rolling on the ground, Aunt Zhang observed Gao Feng and Sister Li's expressions, secretly pleased with their helpless looks.
Aunt Zhang is indeed a member of the community management committee of the neighboring Anju community, but this is a spontaneous organization within the community and has nothing to do with the warehouse, let alone be an alliance.
She had seen a lot of supplies at the warehouse, though she didn't know exactly how much. But that didn't stop her from trying to take advantage of the situation and even better, seize the warehouse altogether.
"Come quick! Someone's been beaten! Someone's been killed!" The two middle-aged women beside Zhang Fenglai were also her henchmen, their purpose being to come and get a share of the profits. They were also shouting loudly.
"This!" Sister Li has a fiery temper and a straightforward personality; she had never encountered such a situation before.
Gao Feng, though relatively smooth-talking, is still a man and doesn't like to get into a fight with a group of old women, letting them throw a tantrum on the ground.
Actually, if Uncle Yun and Liu Yangyang were there, this matter would have been resolved in less than ten minutes.
Unfortunately, Sister Li and Gao Feng were not very well-educated and were somewhat fooled by Zhang Fenglai's half-truths. As for the other four guards, they would not show up in such a situation unless someone was attacking them.
After all, it would be too ridiculous to imagine four burly men dealing with an old lady who is less than 1.5 meters tall.
Gao Feng and Sister Li were forced to deal with it passively, but fortunately Zhang Fenglai and the others finally left after sunset.
"Ali, they're finally gone!" Gao Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Yes!" Sister Li was also getting a headache from the noise.
Gao Feng and Sister Li returned to their lodgings exhausted. They didn't even have time for dinner before falling asleep in bed.
Just when they thought the matter was over, Zhang Fenglai and his group arrived again early the next morning.
This time was different from the last. Not only did she arrive much earlier, but she also brought four more middle-aged women with her. Those four women had sharp and mean faces, and they were clearly not to be trifled with.
"Oh my god! No way!" After another day of being bothered, Gao Feng and Sister Li finally had no choice but to call Ye Ning.
