Then he told Zhang Li, “Brother Zhang, instead of causing a scene at the hospital, you might want to check on your stall. Don’t you know it’s been overturned?”
Zhang Li was shocked: “Really?!”
Luo Yingbai spoke confidently: “Of course it’s true, your stall is in that… where was it? Oh, I can’t remember the exact place, but it’s definitely been overturned, you should…”
Believing it might be true, Zhang Li and his wife turned and ran.
Xia Xianning stood behind Luo Yingbai, laughing, “Was it really overturned?”
Luo Yingbai also laughed, “I don’t even know where their stall is. I’m afraid he’ll come back and beat me.”
“I’m afraid he’ll come back and beat you…” Xia Xianning raised an eyebrow, mimicking Luo Yingbai’s tone, and said with a half-smile, “If we go and overturn the stall now, it would be the same, right?”
Luo Yingbai turned to look at him, and they exchanged a glance, both bursting into laughter.
Zhang Li’s wife was coming to the hospital to see their daughter, so they couldn’t work. But this small food stall was their family’s entire source of income. Not wanting to miss a day’s business, they temporarily hired someone to watch the stall. When Zhang Li arrived, he saw a tattooed man walking towards him from a distance, who without a word, kicked over Zhang Li’s small food stall.
Zhang Li felt like his heart was shattering at the moment everything toppled over. He didn’t even have time to think about why Luo Yingbai had told him about the stall being overturned, and it took nearly half an hour before someone acted, striding up and angrily shouting: “What are you doing!”
The man turned and glanced at him, wearing a tank top and shorts on a hot day, revealing his muscular arms and calves, with a fierce look.
Zhang Li was instantly scared, his tone weakening: “Even if the food isn’t good, you could just not pay, why are you smashing my stall?”
The worker he had hired looked aggrieved: “Boss, he didn’t buy anything at all, he just came and started smashing things.”
The burly man glared: “What’s the problem? I just found this place annoying. If you had set up the stall better, would I have smashed it?”
