The person speaking was none other than Zhang Cuizhi. She had just returned from buying groceries and saw that they had set up the barbecue stall again, with so many people gathered inside and outside.
How much money must they be making? I couldn't help but feel envious again. Yesterday I went to the neighborhood office to report them for street vending.
I thought I had it in the bag, but they wouldn't accept my case, saying that since it had only been operating for a day or two, it wasn't within their jurisdiction. They said they couldn't possibly come to my door to impose a fine.
She gave a whole bunch of reasons, which made her so angry she almost fainted.
Qiao Xiaoni stood up: "What business is it of yours whether we have identification or not? We are free to have a barbecue and eat on the roadside. If you think it's unreasonable, then go ahead and sue us."
Anyway, they might not set up a stall tomorrow; the shop will be renovated the day after, and they'll sell there then. But after her reminder, I do need to get the necessary permits renewed to avoid the hassle of going to their shop.
"You little brat, don't you know where you came from? You've made a mess of everything here."
"Outsiders are unreliable, and they've corrupted the atmosphere around us." Zhang Cuizhi said confidently, believing she was right and that everyone around her should agree with her. But the way they looked at her seemed to show disdain, which infuriated her.
Su Chenhao handed the meat skewers to the next customer and then stood up.
"Auntie, are you a community administrator? Or a police station administrator? Or someone from the Ministry of Health?"
"I... I just couldn't stand it, so what's wrong with me saying a few words to you? Look at the bad influence you're having by having a barbecue on the main road."
"What if something goes wrong with so many people gathered here?" Zhang Cuizhi continued to loudly retort.
Lu Dadan, unable to stand it any longer, walked over with a bottle of liquor and said, "Hey Zhang Da Kou! What are you thinking? We're all having a barbecue together, what's it to you?"
Do you have a health permit for cooking at home? If not, don't keep spouting nonsense and wasting everyone's time buying groceries and cooking at home.
"You idiot Lu, you're everywhere! No wonder your wife ran off with someone else. You stupid, clumsy fool, you deserve to be single." Zhang Cuizhi cursed enthusiastically.
She had always disliked Lu Dadan, the head of the production line, who made them work overtime but didn't earn any bonuses.
Heaven has eyes! He married a beautiful wife who ran off with someone else, making him the laughingstock of the whole factory.
When she has nothing to do, she talks about these things with others to vent her anger.
Lu Dadan pointed the bottle at her: "Say that again, do you think it's any of your business to me?"
Not to be outdone, Zhang Cuizhi took two steps forward, puffed out her chest, and said, "Go ahead and hit me if you dare! If you're a man, hit me! You can't even control your own wife, how dare you live in this world?"
Lu Dadan was really angry. His wife had run off with someone else more than half a year ago, and no one usually mentioned it anymore.
Although he returned home to a cold and lonely place every day, he gradually emerged from his predicament. To live, one must look forward.
Now that she's brought it up again in public, it's like reopening the wound in front of everyone and rubbing salt into it.
How could he possibly tolerate this? He gripped the bottle tightly, swung it forcefully, and it looked like it was about to hit her on the head. Just then, the bottle was stopped.
