Chapter 82 Watch them fight like dogs
"If you come any closer, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Zhou Dajun frantically dodged, his steps faltering.
He backed away, trying to push her away while shouting.
"What's wrong with you? Talk it out! Don't hit me!"
But his voice had long lost its confidence, only filled with panic.
Wu Haiyan didn't care at all; she just wanted to vent her anger and get back at everyone she had wronged!
She didn't want to reason with him, nor did she want to compromise; she just wanted to make him feel pain and regret it!
Qin Guifang hid alone in the house.
With my ear pressed against the door, I couldn't sit still any longer, listening to the noise downstairs.
Her heart was pounding; she was both nervous and excited.
When she saw the scumbag Zhou Dajun and his mistress Wu Haiyan fighting until they were bruised and battered, with their clothes disheveled, she laughed so hard she slapped her thigh.
"Well done! Keep hitting!"
She was adding fuel to the fire from a distance, muttering to herself.
"One's utterly useless, the other's ruthless—serves them right! Let's see you bully others again!"
Whether Wu Haiyan and Zhou Dajun heard it or not is unknown, but Zhou Shufen certainly did.
She stood at the top of the stairs, watching the farce unfold with indifference.
She looked up and saw Qin Guifang leaning on the windowsill, laughing heartily, wrinkles forming at the corners of her eyes.
During this period, these two people came to cause trouble time and time again, making her unable to have any peace.
One came to my door crying poverty and begging for money, while the other called to hurl insults and threats.
Even her elderly mother was so frightened that she couldn't sleep all night.
Now they've made a fool of themselves by staging a full-blown brawl in public.
Being watched and pointed at by neighbors is a kind of karmic retribution in this life.
To bring some joy to everyone, it's a way of paying back some interest!
Zhou Shufen was too lazy to get involved in their affairs anymore and gave them a cold glance.
"Alright, fight if you want, it has nothing to do with me. Don't come after me again! Otherwise, I really will sue you in court, and I mean it! You'll regret it then!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't linger for a second and turned to leave briskly.
Seeing this, Zhou Haiqing quickly jogged a few steps to catch up, glancing back at the couple still arguing downstairs as he walked.
This farce, no matter how you look at it, alarmed the entire building.
Many residents upstairs and downstairs opened their windows and peered out.
The two of them argued downstairs for a while longer.
Finally, persuaded by the onlookers, the two separated and left dejectedly.
As soon as Zhou Shufen got home, she immediately opened the refrigerator and pulled out the drawer in the freezer compartment.
She pulled out several kinds of fruit.
These were all carefully selected by her at the supermarket recently.
"Mom, what are you going to do with all this?"
Zhou Haiqing stood at the door, one hand on the door frame, his brows slightly furrowed.
“After what just happened, the noise was so loud that the neighbors all heard it. They didn’t do anything wrong, but they were frightened for no reason. I feel really bad about it.”
As Zhou Shufen spoke, she rinsed the fruit clean with water.
"I cut some fruit and sent it over as an apology and to express my gratitude. It's a good thing everyone didn't get involved."
She smiled, a gentle curve appearing at the corners of her mouth.
He then quickly peeled and chopped the apple, and peeled the orange into segments, arranging them neatly on a plate.
Finally, she picked up the plate, gently blew on the water droplets on her fingertips, and turned to walk out.
She knocked on the door across the hall first.
I knocked three times, neither too hard nor too soft.
A few seconds later, the door opened.
The neighbor was a middle-aged woman around fifty years old, wearing an apron and holding a spatula.
When she saw it was Zhou Shufen, she was stunned for a moment and quickly switched the spatula to her other hand.
"Oh my, what brings you here? What are you carrying in this freezing weather?"
"I'm sorry, the noise downstairs was unsightly and loud, and you heard it too."
Zhou Shufen handed the plate forward with an apologetic smile on her face.
"It's just some fruit, nothing much, all freshly bought. Try it and it'll help calm your nerves."
"What kind of talk is that! I'd be furious too!"
The neighbor quickly took the plate, his voice trembling with excitement.
"That man is a complete scoundrel. He's married but still can't settle down. He brought another woman to our house and made a scene in front of the whole building. He's shameless! If it were me, I would have fought him to the death on the spot!"
She sighed, her eyes filled with deep sympathy as she looked at Zhou Shufen, and gently patted her arm.
"If you were me, wouldn't you cry from anger? You'd feel so wronged..."
"Hey, let them do whatever they want, I can't be bothered with them."
Zhou Shufen waved her hand, a carefree smile on her face.
"You live your own life, I'll just ignore you. Take the fruit, don't let it get cold, and don't waste it."
"Okay, then I won't refuse."
The neighbor nodded, hugged the plate closer to his chest, thought for a moment, and then hesitated before asking.
"So what are you planning to do in the future? Are you just going to live alone like this?"
"I'm fine."
Zhou Shufen spoke in a relaxed tone, her voice radiating confidence.
"I originally wanted to do something of my own and stop revolving around others. I'm planning to rent a shop in the department store in the city center and open a store. I'll sell some women's clothing and accessories, and that will give me something to do."
She smiled.
"You have to come and support us when it opens! Do me a favor, cut the ribbon, or even just have a bowl of noodles!"
"Really? You're going to open your own shop?"
The neighbor's eyes lit up, and he immediately gave a thumbs up, his face full of admiration.
"Wow, Shufen! You're not only magnanimous, but also capable! If they knew, they'd probably regret it so much! Why didn't they cherish you more back then!"
Zhou Shufen smiled and didn't say anything more.
She carried the remaining few pieces of cut fruit from the plate in one hand and went downstairs briskly.
Sunlight streamed in at an angle from the stairwell, falling on her.
She carried the fruit and strolled around downstairs again.
If I see a neighbor taking a walk downstairs, I will go up and greet them.
She smiled and exchanged pleasantries while handing over the fruit.
"It's freshly cut, would you like to try it? Is it sweet?"
The neighbors accepted the gifts one by one, expressing their gratitude repeatedly.
During the conversation, she mentioned that she was recently preparing to open a handmade jewelry store.
"I plan to find a shop in the city center and do some small business, which will also fulfill a dream."
Upstairs and downstairs, neighbors, almost everyone knew that Zhou Shufen was going to open a shop.
The night before, the loud argument between the young couple upstairs over noise made everyone remember her name.
The two of them making a scene inadvertently gave her free publicity.
"Hey, that girl is really something. Not only is she skilled, but she also has a good temper. Even though it was so noisy upstairs, she didn't say a word."
"I heard that she makes very exquisite jewelry. When her shop opens, we will definitely go and support her."
The next morning.
When Zhou Shufen woke up, she felt exceptionally relaxed.
Bright sunlight streamed into the room from outside the window.
She no longer needs to attend classes; all the handicraft training courses she had previously enrolled in have been completed.
She meticulously memorized all the skills she needed to learn and the processes she needed to master.
Now, all that's left is to take the most crucial step.
They designed the products themselves and then officially opened their store for business.
