Seeing that I was unwilling to agree, old man Li simply grabbed my clothes.
"If you don't agree today, I won't let you go!"
Some people said, "This young man should just let it go; after all, he's doing a good deed."
Others commented, "That old man is really pitiful. If he can't afford treatment, isn't he just waiting to die?"
There were also those who said, "It's just a receipt; just give it to him."
Of course, some expressed their dissatisfaction.
"That old man stole someone else's battery and still has the nerve to ask for a receipt?"
"Exactly! If something happens, won't that make the young man responsible?"
"Young man, don't give him the receipt; you'll regret it."
"This kind of thing should teach the old man a lesson."
However, no matter what the onlookers said, the old man continued to hold onto me tightly.
At that moment, a woman shouted loudly, "You old man, aren't you being too shameless?"
old man Li was taken aback for a moment and then exclaimed, "I... I have no money..."
The woman sneered, "You have no money; does that mean others have money?"
old man Li stubbornly replied, "He has money; he bought an electric bike!"
"His buying an electric bike has nothing to do with you."
"I..."
"You stole his battery and then turned around to ask him for money. Do you even have any sense of reason left?"
The woman grew angrier as she spoke and finally marched right up to old man Li, pointing at him and scolding, "I live in this building; don't think I don't know what you've done.
"You stole packages from the hallway before and now you're stealing someone's battery. How can you be so shameless?"
Upon hearing this, the old man's expression changed instantly.
He released me and lunged at the woman.
"You filthy whore, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Who stole the package? Who stole the Battery?"
The woman was not willing to back down and started to grapple with the old man.
"If you didn't steal the package, then how did my package go missing?"
"If you didn't steal the Battery, then how could that young man say you stole the Battery?"
"Everyone come and see, this old man has no shame!"
old man Li was scolded by the woman until he was red in the face, alternating between anger and embarrassment.
After a while, he glared at the woman and shouted, "I didn't steal your Battery, what does it have to do with you?"
"Exactly, who do you think you are?"
"I..."
The woman was so angry her face turned pale; she wanted to say more but was pushed aside by old man Li.
"Get lost, mind your own business!"
The woman fell to the ground from being pushed by old man Li and immediately got furious. She got up and started fighting with him.
"Old bastard, stinky old man, shameless old man..."
"Wretched woman, rotten woman, slut..."
Although the old man was tough, he was still older and was no match for the woman.
Soon enough, he was being beaten back step by step.
Seeing this, I quickly slipped away.
Old man, good luck to you.
For several days afterward, old man Li continued to linger in that spot, entangling me in the same way.
I used a shared bike, and so did he.
When I rode fast, he rode fast too.
When I rode slow, he rode slow as well.
In any case, he just kept following me closely.
Every time we meet, he repeats the same thing, begging me for an invoice for an Electric Bike. Of course, I won't give it to him. I'm not stupid. If I did, wouldn't that be asking for trouble? I clearly refused the old man. To my surprise, he started crying on the spot.
"Young man, please, help me..."
"I'm really at my wit's end right now. Just have a little compassion and help this old man..."
"I'll kneel down for you..."
Saying this, old man Li was about to kneel down. I quickly jumped back. Why does this old man always want to kneel?
