Mrs. Zhou looked even more frightened and nervous when she looked at her son. She quickly stepped forward to hold Zhou Li back.

"Luzi, calm down, don't be impulsive." Mrs. Zhou's voice revealed worry.

After all, Wang Qingfeng still has some tricks up her sleeve, and she is really worried about her son.

But Zhou Li didn't seem to hear his mother's words. He turned around angrily and strode out the door, roaring: "I'm going to settle the score with that Wang Qingfeng! How dare she play tricks on me!"

Shen Qingyue stood at the door of Zhou's house and witnessed Zhou Li's angry look and Mrs. Zhou's helplessness.

A faint smile flashed across her face. This scene was not unexpected for her.

She knew that in such a situation, any persuasion might be in vain.

Zhou Li's anger and Mrs. Zhou's panic were both the result of what they asked for.

Shen Qingyue decided not to interfere in this matter and let them resolve their internal conflicts on their own.

She slowly took a few steps back, turned and left the Zhou family.

In her opinion, this "dog eat dog" fight will only make the truth clearer.

Shen Qingyue believes that as long as enough time and space are given, the truth of the matter will eventually surface.

Her steps were light but firm, and she walked slowly along the alley in the dusk.

Early the next morning, Shen Qingyue sat quietly in the kitchen at home, sipping a steaming cup of tea, and the morning light filtering through the window sprinkled on the table.

At this moment, she heard the sound coming from outside. Aunt Li and her neighbors gathered together in the yard, happily telling the gossip about last night.

Their voices were warm and passionate, as if they were discussing a wonderful drama.

Aunt Li said that Wang Qingfeng downstairs was beaten by a few land gangsters and had a cut on her head. She really deserved it!Her words had a tone that was a mixture of curiosity and schadenfreude, as if she was enjoying the satisfaction brought by this gossip.

The neighbors talked one after another, showing some sympathy and pity in their words, but most of them blamed and condemned Wang Qingfeng.

They believed she had brought it upon herself.

Shen Qingyue held a hot teacup in her hand and listened to the neighbors talking outside the window. The corners of her eyes raised slightly, revealing a faint smile.

She had already guessed the development of the matter, and it was obviously the result of Zhou Li and his brothers seeking to settle accounts with Wang Qingfeng.

Her mood was unusually calm.In this small town, things often develop faster than imagined, especially when it comes to issues of profit and face.

The conflict between the Zhou family and the Wang family seems to have become the latest hot topic in the town.

Shen Qingyue gently put down the teacup, stood up, and straightened her clothes.

She walked out of the house and walked calmly.

Although people around him were still talking about last night's incident, Shen Qingyue's heart was like a calm lake without any ripples.

When she walked in the direction of Aunt Li, Aunt Li and other neighbors were discussing the events of last night enthusiastically, their voices full of excitement and curiosity.

Shen Qingyue approached Aunt Li and said softly: "Aunt Li, we'd better not get too involved in this matter."

Aunt Li was interrupted by Shen Qingyue's words. She turned her head and nodded when she saw Shen Qingyue's calm eyes.

Aunt Li's attitude seemed a little hesitant, but in the end she agreed to Shen Qingyue's suggestion.

Shen Qingyue rode a bicycle through the early morning streets. The leaves on the roadside were bathed in the soft sunlight, exuding a quiet atmosphere.

Although she was thinking about what happened last night, she was more focused on the day that was about to begin.When arriving at the bakery, Shen Qingyue parked her bicycle and walked into the store.

The atmosphere in the store is still warm and friendly, and the fragrant bread exudes an enticing aroma.

Lin Shuang was busy organizing the shelves. When she saw Shen Qingyue coming in, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

But soon, Lin Shuang's expression became a little hesitant.

"Qingyue, can I take a day off today?" Lin Shuang asked a little cautiously, with a hint of shyness in her voice.

After Shen Qingyue heard Lin Shuang's request, she was slightly startled, and then she subconsciously asked: "Is the eldest brother back?"

Lin Shuang's face immediately burst into a smile of joy. She nodded, her eyes flashing with excitement: "Yes, Qingyue, your eldest brother is back."

When Shen Qingyue heard Lin Shuang's words, her heart was filled with joy.

This was the first time she had seen her eldest brother since her rebirth. In her previous life, apart from her parents, her eldest brother and sister-in-law had always been the closest and most caring people in her life.

Shen Qingyue looked at Lin Shuang's excited expression, and felt a warmth in her heart.

She knew that for Lin Shuang, the return of her eldest brother meant family reunion, which was a very important thing.

She smiled and said to Lin Shuang: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to work today. Let's finish the morning's work and close the store early today. Let's go home together."

Lin Shuang seemed a little surprised when she heard Shen Qingyue's words, but soon a brighter smile bloomed on her face.

She looked at Shen Qingyue excitedly: "Really? Qingyue, that's great!"

Shen Qingyue sold the bread she made in the morning at a [-]% discount. This temporary promotion attracted a large number of customers.

A group of people quickly gathered at the door of the bakery. They praised Shen Qingyue's bread and expressed surprise at such a discount.

Lin Shuang was busy under the guidance of Shen Qingyue. Although she was very excited, she still maintained a professional attitude.

She quickly packs bread for customers, while not forgetting to smile and say thank you to every customer.

In the hustle and bustle of the bakery, a frequent customer noticed the joy on Shen Qingyue's face and asked curiously: "Miss Shen, seeing you so happy today, did something good happen?"

Shen Qingyue turned around and replied with a smile: "Yes, my eldest brother is back today. I haven't seen him for a long time, so I'm going to close the store early and rush home to see him."

When the customer heard this, he immediately showed an understanding smile on his face: "Oh, so that's it. That's really good news! I wish you a happy family reunion."

Shen Qingyue felt a little warm in her heart.

As time went by, the number of customers in the bakery gradually decreased until the last customer left, and Shen Qingyue and Lin Shuang began to tidy up the store.

The pair completed the cleanup quickly and efficiently.

Afterwards, Shen Qingyue closed the store door and nodded to Lin Shuang: "Sister-in-law, you go back first. Don't keep your brother waiting for too long."

After hearing what Shen Qingyue said, Lin Shuang said softly, "Qingyue, I'll go back first. We'll wait for you at home."

After saying that, she quickly left the bakery.

Shen Qingyue watched Lin Shuang's back disappear at the corner of the street. Then, she unlocked her bicycle and began to ride home slowly.
