Usually Zhao Youchang does not deliver food alone, but his two sons take turns to accompany him.
Today it is the turn of the younger son Zhao Xiaowu to join him.
Zhao Xiaowu said angrily: "You obviously did it on purpose. We put our basin here. It's so big, how could you not see it? And you bumped into it."
"Don't talk nonsense. Why did I do it on purpose? It's so dark here, and someone was blocking it just now. Who knew you were going to put the basin in the middle?"
"Is this still in the middle? This is all at the edge of the yard."
"Other people park their cars there to unload, so why are you parking here? This place is meant for people to pass."
"Since it was a person passing by, why did you rush the car to hit me? You did it on purpose."
"Just make this place wider. If I didn't go here, where would I go? I told you I didn't mean it. I didn't see you put the basin there."
When Chen Zhaozhao and Yu Jinggui went in, they saw Zhao Xiaowu arguing with a middle-aged man with a fierce face under a big banyan tree on the right side of the yard.
They saw a carriage facing each other parked next to them, and a pot of tofu in front of the other carriage fell to the ground, crushing it to a pulp.
When Chen Zhaozhao saw the tofu on the ground, his blood pressure suddenly spiked. He quickly walked over and asked, "What's going on?"
"Zhao Zhao." Zhao Xiaowu saw that Chen Zhaozhao seemed to have seen a savior, and there was guilt in his eyes, "The tofu was knocked over by this person.
My dad and I had just moved the tofu out of the car. My dad went to ask Xiao Zhao to pick up the vegetables. I turned around to move the vegetables and this guy hit me with a carriage."
Chen Zhaozhao glanced at the middle-aged man coldly and asked Zhao Xiaowu, "Do you think he did it on purpose?"
"I didn't mean it." The middle-aged man immediately defended, but his attitude was not anxious at all and he didn't care.
He said "I didn't mean it" but his attitude was simply "I just did it on purpose".
When he saw Chen Zhaozhao, his eyes instantly lit up and he looked at her unscrupulously.
Chen Zhaozhao glanced over with sharp eyes, his eyes flashed, but for a moment he looked arrogant and fearless.
Zhao Xiaowu glared at him and said, "His carriage has been parked there for a while. I saw it when we first came in and it hasn't moved since.
After we put down the tofu, he drove the carriage over so fast that he knocked over the tofu pot.
Just like this, he still dares to say that he didn’t do it on purpose? Who would drive the carriage so fast in a courtyard with so many people if he didn’t do it on purpose? He did it on purpose.”
"I'm not." The middle-aged man snorted and insisted, his attitude becoming more and more arrogant.
There is no evidence for this kind of thing, it's just people talking with two skins and relying on their own opinions.
Chen Zhaozhao has calmed down a little, "I don't care if you broke my tofu on purpose or not, you just have to pay compensation."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and said fiercely: "I didn't mean it, why should I pay compensation?"
"Don't pay compensation if it wasn't intentional? Who gave you the reason? Tell me, did you break this tofu?
Regardless of whether you did it intentionally or unintentionally, is the tofu broken? Is it inedible? Do you have to compensate me for my losses?"
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Zhaozhao, smiled sarcastically, and said, "I didn't mean it, and I won't apologize."
Totally unreasonable.
"You seem to be an unreasonable person." Chen Zhaozhao snorted coldly, "Do you think you are not going to pay compensation no matter what?"
"No compensation." The middle-aged man looked like he could do nothing to me.
Chen Zhaozhao looked at the middle-aged man's carriage. There were six wooden barrels on it, and the barrels contained tofu. The quality of the tofu, let alone the quality, could be smelled from a distance of two or three meters.
"Are you here to sell tofu too?" Chen Zhaozhao asked while sweeping the tofu.
The middle-aged man looked at her warily, "What do you want to do? If you dare to deliberately knock over my tofu, I will make you walk around without being able to eat it."
"Your tofu must taste terrible. I can smell it even from such a distance. You must be afraid that my tofu is there and your tofu supply and marketing cooperative won't want it, right?"
It's okay to compete among peers, but I advise you not to be so malicious, otherwise, you will be punished."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Our family's ancestral craftsmanship, you dare to say that my tofu is smelly? Your tofu is smelly." The middle-aged man was very angry.
"What kind of retribution? You will get retribution for talking like this."
"Good or bad, the thing is here, everyone can see it and smell it. You deliberately knocked over my tofu, isn't it because you are jealous of my tofu, okay?"
"Who is jealous of your tofu? You have the nerve to sell it?"
"You stinky tofu is so embarrassing that you can't eat it. Why am I so embarrassed?"
"Are you looking for a fight?" The middle-aged man raised his hands at Chen Zhaozhao angrily, and he actually dared to say that his tofu was smelly? His tofu today was indeed not very good, but was it so smelly that he couldn't eat it?
How dare you disgust him like this? If you don't teach her a lesson, it will be difficult to relieve the anger in his heart.
Yu Jinggui wanted to step forward, but Chen Zhaozhao blocked him and glared at the middle-aged man with a cute look, "What? You deliberately knocked over my tofu, do you still want to hit me now?"
"What's wrong with me just beating you? What's wrong with me hitting you? What can you do to me? I'm telling you, as long as I'm here, you can't even think about selling tofu. How dare you steal my business? There's no way you can do it."
The man became even more aggressive, slapping Chen Zhaozhao while saying so.
When Chen Zhaozhao saw that he had a bad temper, was impatient and arrogant, he got excited and told the truth.
She stared at his slap, thinking about how to give him some color.
"Stop!" Suddenly a sharp shout came, and the middle-aged man paused with his raised hand and looked at the person who spoke.
Chen Zhaozhao and the others also looked at the visitor.
I saw Lin Xisi walking hurriedly with a sullen face, followed by Zhao Youchang and Xiao Zhao, the staff member of the supply and marketing cooperative who is responsible for collecting vegetables.
Not far away, the staff of the supply and marketing cooperative heard the quarrel and stopped what they were doing to whisper and watch.
They didn't come around because it was the busiest time for receiving and loading goods, and if Lin Xisi saw them leaving their jobs to gossip, they would be criticized.
"What's going on?" Lin Xisi frowned when he saw the tofu on the ground.
Zhao Youchang was even more shocked. He was fine when he left. Why is this... so much tofu? It made him feel bad.
He not only feels bad about tofu, but also feels bad about money.
He and his son help deliver goods to the villagers every day, and they collect money after selling them, charging errand fees by the pound.
Every time, Chen Zhaozhao's family has the most things, and he can only get the money after selling them. If this thing is ruined and cannot be sold, he will not receive any money.
Zhao Youchang became angry after feeling distressed, "What's going on? How did this happen?"
"Dad, Director Lin, he hit this tofu on purpose." Zhao Xiaowu pointed at the middle-aged man and said bitterly.
The middle-aged man wanted to refute, but Zhao Xiaowu shouted first, "You just admitted it, don't even think about making excuses."
The middle-aged man simply snorted, Leng Ao raised his head, "My eldest brother said that he only accepts my tofu. Director Lin, I heard that you also accept their tofu. This is your fault."
"So, you deliberately bumped into their tofu?" Lin Xisi asked coldly.
The middle-aged man snorted coldly and acquiesced.
"In this case you have to lose money." Lin Xisi said.
"You want me to pay compensation?" the middle-aged man said "ha" mockingly, "You don't even know how to ask on the street who I, Liu Dajun, am. I'll tell you."
Liu Dajun pointed at Chen Zhaozhao and the others fiercely, "If you are wise, get out of here, otherwise you won't even be able to sell these vegetables, let alone tofu. Please be more careful in the future and don't try to grab any business."
