Around five o'clock, Chen Feng drove to Fengshou Supermarket in Yuelou Town, to pick up his parents from work. Mainly, he was picking up his mom; his dad preferred to ride his electric scooter home.
The family-run small supermarket business was doing quite well, mainly due to its great location at the town center of Yuelou Town, with dense population and high foot traffic, especially during the evening when families shop with their children, typically buying snacks or daily essentials.
Therefore, the supermarket naturally needed staff to work the evening shift.
The evening shift was usually managed by his uncle Zhao Guozhong, his wife, and his mother-in-law.
During the day, his parents would come by to help out, and in the afternoons, Zhao Xiaolan would typically man the cash register, allowing Zhao Guozhong and his wife to take a rest until coming back for the night shift.
