The battle between old man Li and me lasted a full month. During this month, we clashed almost every day. I tried to catch him or drive him away, but I was unsuccessful. old man Li was like an indestructible cockroach, always managing to escape.
However, I didn't suffer any losses. After all, it was always old man Li who struck first; I was merely acting in self-defense. Moreover, I reported the incidents to the police several times. Although they ultimately told me to handle it myself, old man Li became frightened.
He began to revert to his true nature and resumed his petty thieving activities. At first, he only stole some trash or children's toys. Later on, he started stealing my takeout.
When I first discovered my takeout was missing, I didn't think much of it; I assumed it was just some mischievous child from the neighborhood. The second time my takeout went missing, I became a bit angry and suspected it was old man Li's doing. But without any evidence, I had to endure it.
However, when I found out for the third time that my takeout had been stolen, I was completely furious. I had ordered a bowl of Eight Treasure Porridge and a plate of dumplings, but when they arrived home, there was only half a bowl of Eight Treasure Porridge. I immediately realized that my takeout had been stolen again!
In a fit of rage, I rushed downstairs. As soon as I reached the entrance, I saw old man Li standing there with a takeout order in his arms.
“ old man Li! Stop right there!” I shouted as I charged towards him.
old man Li was startled and turned to run. But given his age, he couldn't outrun me. Soon enough, I cornered him against the wall. Hearing the commotion, some neighbors gathered around.
"What... what are you going to do?"
old man Li was in a panic.
"Did you steal my takeout?"
I questioned him.
"No... it wasn't me..."
old man Li quickly denied it.
"Then what's in your arms?"
I pointed at him.
"This... this is what I bought for my wife and son..."
old man Li stammered.
"Your takeout for your wife and son ended up at my doorstep?"
"I... I..."
old man Li stuttered, unable to speak.
"Still not admitting it, huh?"
I snorted coldly and reached out to snatch the takeout from his arms.
Upon opening it, I found exactly what I had just ordered: Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee and Cake.
"Isn't this my takeout?"
"This... this is..."
old man Li's face turned red as he argued, "This is what I ordered for my wife and son."
"Don't lie."
"If you don't believe me, look at the receipt."
Saying that, old man Li took out the receipt and showed it to everyone.
I glanced at the receipt and sneered, " old man Li, why does this receipt have my name on it?"
"Are you saying that you, your wife, and your son all share the surname Zhang?"
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.
" old man Li, stop trying to deny it."
"Hurry up and return the money to him."
old man Li trembled with anger, glaring at me fiercely before tearing the receipt in half.
Seeing this, the people around laughed even harder.
" old man Li, you've stolen again, haven't you?"
"Isn't this you apologizing to him?"
"That's something he didn't want; you picked it up to eat, right?"
"Hahaha..."
The crowd roared with laughter.
old man Li's face turned red, and he couldn't say a word.
He shot me a furious glare and then turned around and fled.
Watching his embarrassed retreat, I felt a rush of satisfaction.
old man Li, this is what you brought upon yourself!
After this incident, old man Li stayed quiet for a while.
But I didn't expect him to revert to his old ways so soon.
The takeout continued to be thrown away, and each time it was right at my doorstep.
Although it was only a few items each time, it really annoyed me.
I decided to get back at him.
I ordered another takeout and then stopped the delivery person outside the restaurant.
"Don't deliver it yet; I'll tell you the address later."
"Okay."
The delivery person nodded and rode off on their bike.
