Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin let out screams like pigs being slaughtered.
"Help! Murder! This little bitch is trying to kill someone!"
The cacophony made Chen Jingyan's eardrums ache.
"Shut up!"
With a flick of her wrist, the sharp axe struck the kang table, instantly turning it into a pile of broken wood.
"You dare steal my things? Are you tired of living?"
Do they really think she's a pushover, the queen of post-apocalyptic survival?
If this were the apocalypse, she would have chopped off their heads without hesitation!
Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin immediately fell silent, like chickens whose necks had been choked.
Shen Jingyan glanced at the bedding in Shen Yuqin's arms and the large wardrobe that hadn't been locked yet, and said coldly:
“Give me back what you stole, and I won’t hold it against you.”
Chen Feng sprang up like a rat and blocked the cabinet door with her body.
"You brat, hiding so many good things in the house, are you trying to eat them all by yourself? My family has raised you for over ten years, shouldn't you give me something as a token of your respect?"
The cupboard contained rice, flour, oil, pork, and vegetables that she had scavenged from the thatched hut. Asking her to return them would be like cutting off her own flesh!
Shen Yuqin shrank closer to Chen Feng and hugged the blankets even tighter.
She was determined to have this bedding; she had already planned to take it to her husband's family when she got married, as it would definitely make her look very prestigious!
"That's right, that's right. You've been living in my house for so many years, do you even deserve to be covered in such nice bedding?"
The mother and daughter have never known how to write the word "shameless".
It seems that unless we teach them how to behave, we won't get our things back.
Having survived the apocalypse for several years, Shen Jingyan had long since developed the good habit of taking action rather than reasoning.
Besides, there's no reasoning with shameless people!
She looked at the greedy and shameless mother and daughter with eyes sharper than knives.
"If it's not going to work out, then let's not live together at all!"
She grabbed the kerosene lamp and threw it on the kang (a heated brick bed).
The bedding on the kang (a heated brick bed) was immediately ignited by the flames, which shot up high.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die! How dare you set fire to my bedding!"
Chen Feng frantically tried to put out the fire, but flames hit her face and almost set her hair on fire.
Chen Jingyan, holding an axe, approached Shen Yuqin step by step.
"Give it to me."
"I won't take it; it's part of my dowry!"
She didn't believe Shen Jingyan would actually dare to kill someone.
"Fine, then let this quilt be buried with you!"
Shen Jingyan raised his axe and swung it at Shen Yuqin's face.
She certainly wouldn't actually kill Shen Yuqin, but she wouldn't let go until something fell off her body.
Shen Jingyan was aiming at her hair.
With a loud "crack," the axe struck the large cabinet behind Shen Yuqin, severing one of her braids in the process.
Shen Yuqin screamed in terror, fearing she would become a victim of the axe. She didn't care about the bedding anymore, threw it aside, and threw herself into Chen Feng's arms.
At this moment, the mother and daughter, one covered in smoke and the other with disheveled hair, clung to each other in fear and wet their pants.
Shen Jingyan didn't stop, continuing to swing the axe forcefully towards the cabinet door.
In no time, the cabinet was chopped into pieces.
Potatoes, radishes, cabbages, and other vegetables hidden in the cupboard suddenly rolled out.
"You're insane, you little bitch, you're absolutely insane!"
Shen Jingyan gripped the axe tightly, its sharp blade aimed at the mother and daughter.
In the eyes of the mother and daughter, the axe blade was like the fangs of a wolf.
"I'm warning you, if I ever hear the word 'little bitch' from your mouth again, I'll chop off your filthy mouths and make sure I don't have a good time, then nobody will live!"
Her expression was sharp, and she didn't seem to be joking at all.
Chen Feng and Shen Jingyan were stunned into silence.
Did you hear me clearly?
Chen Jingyan swung the axe with a swift, rustling sound.
"I heard you... clearly."
"Very well, now help me move these things back. If there's even one potato missing, I'll break one of your teeth!"
Shen Jingyan kicked open the door, stood at the entrance with an axe in hand, and watched as Chen Feng and her daughter reluctantly carried the stolen goods back bit by bit.
"Ding! Congratulations, Master, on completing the mission! The system rewards you with 250 points!"
"Huh? Wasn't it supposed to be two hundred points? Why are there fifty more points?" Shen Jingyan asked, puzzled.
"Because the master not only reclaimed his own supplies, but also scared the wicked mother and daughter to tears, his style is tough enough! The system rewards you with an extra fifty points!"
Although being a fool might sound silly, who doesn't like having more points?
"Xiao Ba, I'm really growing to like you more and more."
"Hehe, thank you for the praise, Master. I will definitely give you more tasks that earn you more points in the future!"
After Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin finished moving their things, they sheepishly went into the house and locked the door with a "snap".
Shen Jingyan felt even more contempt for them.
When dealing with such shameless people who spew filth, you have to use the most deterrent method!
Shen Jingyan returned to the thatched hut, thought it over carefully, and spent two hundred points to exchange for a camphor wood chest from the space shop.
The camphor wood chest is sturdy and exquisite, large enough, and comes with a lock.
She hid all the recovered supplies in a camphor wood chest and locked it.
Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin are both dishonest. Although they have been intimidated and dare not openly rob her, it is hard to guarantee that they will not steal a few things when she is not around.
Just in case, it's safest to lock things in a box.
That night, Shen Jingyan slept soundly.
Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin, however, could not sleep all night.
"Mom, has Jingya gone mad? No matter how much we beat or scolded her before, she never dared to fight back. Today she actually dared to take an axe and try to chop us up. How am I supposed to bully her now?"
The thought of not being able to cover herself with that soft quilt made Shen Yuqin feel uncomfortable all over, as if she had lost pieces of her flesh.
The original owner used to be a pushover, and Shen Yuqin would pick fights with her whenever she was angry. Now, she was so scared by Shen Jingyan that she didn't dare to lay a hand on her, and she felt uneasy about it.
Chen Feng touched her charred hair, her eyes gleaming with malice.
"We need to think of a way to get rid of this troublemaker quickly!"
Shen Yuqin clutched her severed braid, trembling with heartache.
"Mom, didn't you already take the money from Granny Zhao? When are they coming to get married?"
She couldn't wait to see Shen Jingyan marry that idiot!
She vowed that on Shen Jingyan's wedding day, she would stand at the very front and laugh the loudest!
"That little bitch is really stubborn now; I'm afraid she won't obediently marry into the Zhao family..."
Chen Feng was somewhat troubled.
However, since the 500 yuan dowry has already been received, there's no reason to return it.
She is an extremely selfish person. In her mind, anything she touches belongs to her. She has already thought of a hundred ways to use that five hundred yuan. Asking her to return it would be like tearing out her heart!
We need to find a way to force that little bitch to marry into the Zhao family.
Chen Feng's eyes darted around, one wicked thought after another popping into her head.
