Her shouting immediately attracted a lot of passersby to come and watch.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei frowned and went into the shop. Old Wang rushed to greet her, looking troubled, and said:
“Madam Jiang, you see, we were just working when this old woman suddenly rushed in, sat on the ground, and started wailing. We didn’t touch her at all.”
Jiang Yuwei nodded and looked at Xia Yue.
"Xia Yue, go and inspect the goods with Manager Wang. If there are no problems, settle the money with Manager Wang and send them away."
As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei smiled at Old Wang.
"Manager Wang, you can go with Xia Yue. Leave this to me."
After saying that, Jiang Yuwei walked over to the fat woman and squatted down.
Why are you crying and wailing?
The fat woman squinted at Jiang Yuwei, then started wailing again.
"Who are you? Get out! This house belongs to my family!"
Jiang Yuwei sneered.
"Is this yours? What's your name? Do you have the property deed to show me?"
Upon hearing this, the plump woman blushed immediately, and then stammered:
"Of course I have the property deed, it's just that I don't carry it with me. Also, why should I tell you my name, what I do, or anything else?"
Jiang Yuwei sneered.
"What are you yelling about here without a property deed? You don't even dare to say your name. Are you perhaps Manager Liu's wife?"
Upon hearing this, the fat woman's eyes widened, and she spun around a few times. Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, she reached out and grabbed Jiang Yuwei, shouting:
"Look at this, everyone. This vixen seduced my husband, Lao Liu, and got the shop transferred to her. She's really going to ruin me. What a disaster!"
The old woman was about to hit Jiang Yuwei when Yun Qing, who was standing nearby, immediately grabbed the old woman's wrist and squeezed it hard, causing her to howl in pain.
"Ouch, ouch, that hurts so much! Not only did you seduce my old Liu, but you also managed to hook up with a young guy who's protecting you. You're really something!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qing blushed and quickly released the old woman's hand, saying excitedly:
"Don't talk nonsense! I am Madam Jiang's guard!"
Seeing Yun Qing blush, the old woman became even more arrogant, sizing up Jiang Yuwei and Yun Qing while clicking her tongue repeatedly.
"Tsk tsk, you're really something, you even managed to snag a guard, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning!"
Jiang Yuwei sneered.
"If someone like you isn't afraid of being struck by lightning, why should I be afraid?"
Upon hearing this, the fat woman's eyes widened in surprise.
"You bitch, you stole my husband Lao Liu and you still dare to talk back to me like that!"
At this point, some onlookers, unable to bear it any longer, stepped forward and asked:
Which Old Liu are you talking about?
The fat woman turned around and glared at the man, then tilted her head back and said disdainfully:
"Of course it's the original owner of this shop, that's my husband, Lao Liu!"
The man who asked the question frowned and said:
"Are you confused? This shop is the ancestral property of Manager Li's family. We've never heard of a manager surnamed Liu. Besides, we saw Madam Jiang and Manager Li going to the government office to transfer the property that day. How can you make up stories about people like this?"
"Exactly, this guy doesn't look like a good person at all; he just spouts lies so easily!"
"That's right! If we old neighbors hadn't known the whole story, we would have really been fooled by this old woman!"
"I think this kind of person should be sent to the authorities!"
"Yes, Madam Jiang is far too good-natured! Isn't that just insulting her?"
Upon hearing the crowd's words, the fat woman's face turned deathly pale. She turned and glared resentfully at Jiang Yuwei, cursing:
"You shameless bitch, how dare you try to fool me!"
She reached out to scratch Jiang Yuwei's face, but fortunately Yun Qing was quick to stop her. Jiang Yuwei slapped the fat woman twice across the face and angrily said:
"I'm giving you face and you don't appreciate it, so I'll make you look bad. I'm not sending you to the authorities today because I don't consider you human. Go back and tell your master that if she dares to provoke me again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei slapped the fat woman twice across the face. The woman's face immediately swelled up, and seeing that she couldn't get anything out of Jiang Yuwei, she withdrew her arrogance and dared not look at her.
"Good for him! People like that deserve to be beaten!"
"Yes, people who open their businesses to do business are ruining their reputations with people like you!"
"Exactly! That old woman was trying to ruin someone's reputation just now; she deserved a beating!"
"I think I should hit her a few more times to vent my anger!"
Jiang Yuwei gave the old woman a cold look and said:
"I'll remember your face. Next time you see me, remember to take a detour, or I'll beat you every time I see you. Get lost!"
As soon as Jiang Yuwei finished speaking, Yun Qing released the fat old woman's hand. Seeing that she was free, the old woman wanted to say a few more harsh words to Jiang Yuwei, but when she met Jiang Yuwei's eyes, she was immediately startled and simply lowered her head and slunk away.
After the old woman left, Jiang Yuwei whispered something to Yun Qing.
"Follow her and see who she went to see, but don't let anyone find out."
Yun Qing nodded in agreement and followed the old woman out when no one was looking.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Jiang Yuwei smiled and said to everyone:
"Thank you all for your help, neighbors. When our Food City opens, please come and visit. All the shopkeepers on our Golden Street will give you a 10% discount!"
Seeing that the excitement was over, everyone smiled, said goodbye to Jiang Yuwei, and left.
Xia Yue followed Old Wang around and found nothing wrong, so she settled the bill for him and saw him off.
Seeing that everyone had left, Jiang Yuwei and Xia Yue started cleaning up together. Now that the shop was renovated, it couldn't just stay empty forever. Today, Aunt Zhou and the others were setting up traps at the General's Mansion, and tomorrow they could set them up at the shop on Golden Street.
With no extra manpower available, Jiang Yuwei had no choice but to clean up herself. Xia Yue initially felt a little bad when she saw Jiang Yuwei wanting to do it herself, but when she saw that Jiang Yuwei was determined to do it, she stopped trying to stop her.
The two were cleaning when they saw Yun Qing rushing in from outside.
Seeing that he was panting heavily, Jiang Yuwei quickly poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him.
"Have a sip of tea first to soothe your throat."
Yun Qing blushed, nodded, took the teacup from Jiang Yuwei, tilted her head back, and drank it in one gulp. Then, catching her breath, she said:
“Madam, just now when I followed her out, I saw a nanny at the alley entrance. She gave the nanny some silver and sent her away. I thought the nanny looked familiar, so I followed her.”
Yun Qing paused, then continued with a troubled expression:
“I followed her all the way to the gate of the Li residence, and then, I saw her enter the Li residence.”
