I thought that after this lesson, the old man would be a bit more restrained. After all, he had already been warned by the police, and the public looked down on his behavior. However, I underestimated his shamelessness.
This old man actually started throwing garbage right in front of my house! Every morning, as soon as I opened the door, I would see trash at my doorstep. There were rotten fruits, moldy bread, and various unidentified dirty items. At first, it was just some scraps of paper and fruit peels. Later, when the trash can was full, he began to dump it directly at my door. Eventually, he even started spitting in front of my house—one mouthful after another, leaving a pile of spit.
I realized this was the old man's way of getting back at me. Every time he finished throwing garbage or spitting, he would also spit on the ground in front of my door and glare at me fiercely. The look clearly said, "Just wait; I will not let this go!"
I was furious. This old man was going too far. To retaliate against me, he resorted to such despicable tactics. But I had no way to catch him in the act because he always acted quickly and there were no witnesses or evidence. Even if I called the police, it would be useless.
So, I bought two cameras—one for upstairs and one for downstairs—and recorded everything. The next day, I shared the video in our group chat, which sparked outrage among everyone.
"This old man is disgusting!"
"How can he do this?"
"Well, his son and the neighbor got injured in the explosion; what does that have to do with us?"
"I say they got what they deserved!"
"This old man should be taken out and shot!"
"People like him are just a waste of air."
"One less is one less."
I chatted with a nurse from the community and learned some details about the old man.
It turns out that the old man's son and the neighbor are still in the hospital because they can't afford treatment.
Moreover, the old man hasn't visited them in five days.
The nurse said that every time she makes her rounds, she sees the old man's son and the neighbor lying in their beds, sighing heavily.
The wounds on his son's body have started to fester and become infected due to lack of timely treatment.
But without money for treatment, they can only endure it.
The nurse also mentioned that the old man used to be a rogue, often engaging in petty thefts.
When his son was seven years old, he accidentally injured his head during an argument, resulting in cerebral palsy.
The old man's wife quarreled with him over this incident and got hurt by him; now she can only work as a sanitation worker.
It can be said that this is a tragic family.
Yet even so, no one feels sympathy for them.
Because no one likes being stolen from.
Furthermore, the old man's actions have already provoked public outrage.
Sure enough, while discussing the old man in the group, I noticed that his profile picture had turned gray.
He had left the group.
Clearly, the old man wanted to ignore everyone's opposition and continue to fight against me to the end.
I let out a cold laugh.
This old man is truly stubborn.
Since he wants to fight, I will accompany him to the end.
Every time I found the old man throwing trash or spitting at my doorstep, I called the police. The police came and gave the old man a stern reprimand, but that was all. After all, the amount of trash he threw and the amount he spat were not significant enough to cause any real harm. Moreover, the old man always claimed it was unintentional, and there were no witnesses or evidence to prove his intent. The police could only mediate.
However, the result of the mediation was that the old man continued to throw trash and spit at my doorstep. After a few times, the police grew tired of dealing with it.
"Young man, you should handle this yourself," they said. "Or maybe you should move. After all, we can't do much about such minor issues."
"Unless you catch him in the act or he shows clear malicious intent, we can't take action."
"You'll have to figure something out on your own."
I felt helpless. old man Li, are you really going to ignore the concerns of the people and fight me to the end?
