Chapter 106: Dealing with the Naughty Kid
Shuiyue Bay has a fixed stall in the black market. When these seafood were placed on the stall, they immediately attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
Fucheng is an inland city, and seafood is very scarce. Currently, this is the only store selling seafood on the black market.
Moreover, after experiencing the locust plague, everyone knew that Fucheng was about to face a food crisis. Once the food in hand was eaten up, they could only go to the relief point to compete with others for a piece of coarse grain cake that was so rough that it could cut their throats.
Therefore, almost no one sells food on the black market, and the seafood stalls in Shuiyue Bay have become the only ones on the black market.
Those who got the news that Shuiyue Bay had food for sale rushed to buy it immediately. In just one night, Wang Shijin and his men had sold more than half of the seafood.
Shuiyue Bay's seafood business is so hot that some people are jealous. But those who hide in the dark and envy others dare not easily provoke Shuiyue Bay.
Everyone in this area knows about Shuiyue Bay's bloody battles against robbers during the flood season. If you want to take advantage of them, you need to be fully prepared, otherwise you will be in trouble and will be retaliated by Shuiyue Bay.
So after selling seafood for several days in a row, no one dared to cause trouble. This is the advantage of having absolute strength.
Seeing how carefree and delicious the food is in Shuiyue Bay, more and more people want to move in. When Xia Xiaoman went out to fetch water, she saw four or five groups of people coming to interview for accommodation while waiting in line.
After getting the water, Fu Baiwei told her that someone had moved into Villa No. 13 next door. Xia Xiaoman glanced at the next door, but the doors and windows were tightly closed, so she couldn't see anything.
Fu Baiwei hooked her finger at her, and Xia Xiaoman leaned over to whisper, "What are you doing? Is there something wrong with that family?"
"I don't know if that family has any problems, but they are quite rich." Fu Baiwei said with envy: "They drove a small truck in with a generator installed in it. Tsk, when will I be able to own a generator too!"
I didn’t know how to cherish the electricity when it was free, and now that the whole city has a power outage, I feel regretful...
Xia Xiaoman frowned. "The people who can get trucks and generators now should not be ordinary people. Do you know where they moved from?"
Fu Baiwei shook her head, "I'm not sure. The property management department should have registered it." She patted Xia Xiaoman on the shoulder, "Don't worry, if there is any problem with that family, the property management department will check it out. It's not our turn to worry about it."
Xia Xiaoman's mouth twitched. How could she not worry? That family lived next door to her. What if they stole her solar generator when she was not at home?
Although she hadn't met the family next door yet, she was already used to assuming the worst of others. Only by preparing for the worst could one survive in a dangerous situation.
…
In the next few days, Xia Xiaoman paid attention to the situation of his neighbor next door, who lived a secluded life and rarely showed up except when he went out to fetch water.
What surprised her was that her next-door neighbors were actually a family of four. She thought that the person next door might live alone like her, or that a few young people might live together.
After observing for five or six days, seeing that his neighbors stayed at home obediently every day, Xia Xiaoman stopped paying attention to the situation next door.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Xia Xiaoman took the power strip out of the door. When she opened the door, she saw Fu Baiwei and a gentle-looking man walking towards her from the intersection.
Fu Baiwei saw her and ran to her holding the man's hand, "Xiaoman, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend Sun Haiyun, he works at the solar power station."
After saying that, she looked at Sun Haiyun, "Ayun, this is my college classmate Xia Xiaoman."
Sun Haiyun nodded politely and handed the bag in his hand to Xia Xiaoman. "Thank you for taking care of Weiwei during this period. This is a New Year gift from the power station. Weiwei and I can't finish it, so I gave some to you."
Xia Xiaoman took the bag and took a look. Inside was a bag of dried vegetables and several packets of biscuits in red packaging with the Chinese character "囍" printed on them. She jokingly said, "New Year's gift? Are you sure it's not wedding candy?"
Fu Baiwei glared at her and said, "This is a New Year gift. It's only two days until New Year's Eve on February 8th."
"The New Year is coming so soon!" Xia Xiaoman exclaimed.
Eight months ago, the floating city was still prosperous. Thinking back to the hustle and bustle of the past, it feels like a lifetime ago.
Suddenly, the bag in her hand tightened, and Xia Xiaoman subconsciously held the bag tightly. Looking down, she saw a little girl who appeared out of nowhere holding the bag tightly in her hand.
Seeing that she couldn't pull the bag apart, the little girl simply tore open the bag, took the contents and ran away.
Xia Xiaoman grabbed her collar, lifted her up, and asked coldly, "Whose child are you from? Who asked you to steal things?"
"Ah!!!" The naughty kid didn't say a word, just sang the high notes and danced as if he wanted to hit Xia Xiaoman.
Xia Xiaoman's eardrums were stung by her noise, and she slapped her without hesitation, "Shut up! If you make noise again, I'll beat you to death!"
The naughty kid was stunned by the slap. He was stunned for two seconds and then burst into tears.
Fu Baiwei frowned, "This naughty kid seems to be from the villa next door."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoman glanced at the villa next door. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see the curtains on the second floor move.
After thinking for two seconds, Xia Xiaoman found a rope and tied the naughty kid at the door, then went back to the house and got a wooden sign to hang on the naughty kid.
Fu Baiwei read out the words on the wooden sign, "I am a robber, I live in Villa No. 13; my father has sores on his head, my mother has pus on her feet, and my eldest brother is so wicked that he smokes; please don't sympathize with me, I am just born a bad guy!"
"Haha! Xiaoman, you are so talented!"
Sun Haiyun, who was standing by, couldn't help laughing when he saw the content on the wooden sign. "If you do this, the child's parents will definitely cause trouble when they come over."
Xia Xiaoman didn't care at all, "Let them make a fuss! It would be better if they can make a bigger fuss so that everyone in the community can see what kind of naughty child they are educating."
Sun Haiyun glanced at Fu Baiwei. Fu Baiwei shrugged and pushed him out. "Don't worry about it. Go back! I have to start working too."
Sun Haiyun hesitated for two seconds and said, "Let me stay and help you!" If anything happened, he could still lend a hand.
"No, don't you have to go back to the power station to work overtime? Go back now!"
After much persuasion, Fu Baiwei finally persuaded Sun Haiyun to leave.
Soon, customers who were charging came one after another. When they saw a little girl tied to the door, they were about to curse who was so cruel. But after seeing the words on the wooden sign, they ignored the naughty girl and continued to do what they were supposed to do.
