"Fine, I'll come at you then!" The woman rolled up her sleeves, relying on her large size and strength.
"You outsider, how dare you bully me? I'll teach you two little bastards a lesson today!"
She charged forward like a bull, trying to knock the person away.
Seeing her stance, Lu Zhixia dodged to the side, thus avoiding the attack.
The woman, unable to stop herself after bumping into someone, became enraged and yelled at her.
"If you're so capable, then don't hide!"
"You think I'm stupid for not dodging when you're being hit?" Lu Zhixia laughed at the other person's stupidity. How could there be such a stupid person?
The woman rushed forward without thinking twice, wanting to defeat the other person.
Lu Zhixia dodged to the side again, stretching out her foot.
The woman fell flat on her face, knocking out her front tooth, and making groaning noises.
"It hurts so much!"
The people around burst into laughter; the scene was hilarious.
Erni laughed loudly. She thought her aunt was amazing and powerful, always able to deal with bad guys so well. She admired her from the bottom of her heart!
Lu Zhixia walked over slowly, her aura fully unleashed.
"Adults taking things from children and bullying them is wrong no matter how much you argue about it!"
"That makes perfect sense!" Zhou An'an clapped his hands enthusiastically!
People around started talking about it.
“I think what she said makes sense. Although these children have no parents, they earn money with their own hands. What this woman stole was indeed wrong.”
"Children without parents are already pitiful enough, but to be bullied like this is unacceptable! People like this are despicable!"
“Those cardboard boxes won’t sell for much money. The child picked them up little by little. She’s so shameless to steal from a child.”
"I used to think that cleaning was pitiful, that people worked themselves to the bone every day!"
"What's there to pity! Do you know how much money they can make from collecting garbage? They scavenge a lot every day, and now they're even snatching cardboard boxes from children, as if they're afraid they don't know that this stuff can be sold for money!"
Hearing these people say that, the cleaning woman became anxious and got up from the ground.
"What are you doing! Why are you taking sides with those brats!"
Blood was gushing from its mouth, and it looked like it was full of blood vessels.
Lu Zhixia and Zhou An'an quickly stepped in front of the children; they shouldn't have to see this bloody scene.
The law enforcement officer pushed his way through the crowd, asking, "What's going on here?"
When the cleaning woman saw the law enforcement officers arrive, she quickly began to complain.
"Comrade, these two women ganged up on me, arrest them!"
The law enforcement officer walked over, first examining her injuries, then glancing at the ground where her teeth had fallen out, before looking at the two women not far away.
"What happened?"
Zhou An'an: "It was this woman who tried to snatch the cardboard boxes these poor children had collected. We couldn't stand by and watch and stopped her. As for the injury on her mouth, she fell and bumped her head!"
His speech was forceful and clear, and he explained things clearly in an instant.
The law enforcement officer looked at the girl in front of him; her aura suggested she was a fellow officer.
Then, looking at the work ID she handed over, I understood; she really was a colleague. Then I looked at another woman...
"You tell us too."
Lu Zhixia said, "I'd like to add something: these children are orphans. As an adult bullying children, she doesn't deserve to be a human being!"
Applause erupted from the crowd. They also felt that adults shouldn't bully children. Looking at their pitiful appearance, who could bring themselves to do it?
The law enforcement officer understood what had happened, and turned to look at the woman in her uniform.
"What you're doing is completely unreasonable! What business is it of yours if a kid picks up some trash!"
The woman dared not confront the law enforcement officer's arrogance, and could only speak in a low voice.
“This street is under my jurisdiction, and I’m responsible for cleaning it. Aren’t they picking up my things just like they’re picking up trash?”
This amused the law enforcement officer, who said, "So, according to you, we're all standing here, on your territory."
The woman quickly waved her hand to explain, "That's not what I meant. I meant that all the garbage on this street is under my jurisdiction."
Law enforcement officer: "Alright, stop arguing with me about this. You did something wrong today, but since you're injured, I'll let it go! Otherwise, I'll take you back for a reprimand."
The woman stood up straight. "What do you mean by that? How come I'm the one who's wrong? They stole my things and they think they're in the right!"
The law enforcement officer said, "Why are you so stubborn, woman! If these kids take the recyclables you've collected, that's their fault. But if someone else has already collected the recyclables and you try to take them away, then it's your fault, and there's no room for argument!"
The woman gasped for breath, then looked at the group of brats, one of whom was making a face at her.
"Don't get cocky, I'm telling you. There will be times when those people aren't around, and then I'll show you how to deal with you!"
Lu Zhixia thought of these children, all alone and helpless. If they left, who knew what might happen next? So she spoke up.
"I want to report this to the police! This woman is causing trouble and bullying the child. Although he doesn't have parents, I'm willing to be their temporary guardian and stand up for them!"
The law enforcement officer was also quite angry, "You woman, you can't say anything nice, you just have to pick on these kids!"
She was furious. "You're all covering for them! You're bullying me! Why should I? I work myself to the bone sweeping this street every day, just to collect a few cardboard boxes and sell them for money!"
The law enforcement officer took out handcuffs from his waistband. "This is not a place for you to run wild. If you say this street is under your jurisdiction, then I'll say this area is under the jurisdiction of our law enforcement office!"
