Chapter 27: Su Li Was Rejected
He did not expect Su Li to react so quickly. In the past, those people only realized that their wallets had been stolen when they returned home. At that time, they could not even find a ghost, let alone chase after him!
"Stop right there, or I won't be polite to you," Su Li shouted as she ran with the stick.
When the thief heard Su Li's voice, he ran even faster.
Su Li also quickened her pace and threw the bamboo stick in her hand at his head.
With a bang, Su Li accurately hit that person's head.
The man felt as if he could see stars, and his fleeing pace began to slow.
Su Li threw the basket on her back and immediately subdued the thief.
She found several purses on the thief's body. One of them was hers. She put all of them in her pocket. The owners definitely cannot be found. She would take it as compensation.
Su Li grabbed the thief's hair. "How dare you steal my money? I think you're tired of living."
The thief was firmly suppressed by Su Li and hurriedly begged for mercy. "Please spare me! I won't dare to do it again!"
Su Li said, "Heh, spare you? I don't think this is the first time you're so skilled. You should go to the government office and slowly tell them about your crimes!"
"Madam, please do me a favor. I have old and young to feed back home. If you spare me this time, I'll definitely turn over a new leaf."
Su Li rolled her eyes at him. "Touch your conscience. Do you believe these words yourself?"
At this moment, Su Li saw a few people in government office clothes walking over. She hurriedly waved.
"Officers, there's a thief here. Please capture him and interrogate him."
When the officials heard Su Li's words, they walked over and asked what had happened. Their political achievements are under evaluation recently and they were worried that they had not made any contributions recently. It was not bad to catch a thief now.
Before he left, the thief glared at Su Li, looking like he wanted to eat her up.
"Damn woman, just you wait. If I see you again, I won't let you have it easy."
Su Li looked at the official with an aggrieved expression and said, "Officer, look, he still dares to scold me in front of you. He doesn't take you seriously at all!"
The officer slapped the thief's face. "You better be f*cking obedient. If you dare to speak again, I'll sew your mouth shut."
The thief shut his mouth in fear. He had no choice but to lower his head under someone else's roof. In order to avoid being beaten up, he had to speak less!
Su Li made a face at the thief and said silently, "If you have the ability, come and hit me!"
The thief was speechless. He had never been so speechless in his life.
After sending off the thieves and officials, Su Li tidied up her things and walked towards the ox cart.
When they arrived at the place where they usually sat on the ox cart, Su Li realized that there were already a portion of people sitting on the ox cart. Fortunately, there were still empty seats on the cart.
Su Li unloaded the basket on her back and was about to get on the ox cart when a woman stopped her.
"The car is full. You can walk back!"
"That's right. These seats are already taken. They came before you and have already paid the money, so you have no chance."
Su Li glanced at the empty space and then at Old Zhao, who was smoking leisurely at the side. She knew that they were deliberately targeting her.
However, since they had already said so, she could not forcefully get into the car. She had paid in the morning, but this time, she did not pay. Therefore, no matter how angry she was, there was nothing she could do.
It was still early. She would throw everything into her space later. She should be home before dark.
Su Li put the basket back on her back and walked home without saying a word.
Everyone was extremely smug as they watched Su Li leave, as if they had vented their anger.
Old Zhao put out his cigarette and asked, "Why isn't Wang Chunhua here yet?"
"Soon, soon. I saw her just now. She said she would come after shopping."
Old Zhao nodded and said, "Then I'll wait a little longer!"
The people in the car had objections to Su Li and did not want to sit with her. Hence, everyone thought that there would be enough people to fill the ox cart if Wang Chunhua boarded the cart.
Hence, the scene just now.
Su Li walked to an empty spot and threw everything in the basket into the interspace before starting to jog.
Since there was no ox cart to sit on, she would treat it as a jogging session for her to lose weight!
"Look, the Mother of Dahu is right in front. Hurry up and ask her if she wants to take the ox cart!"
Old Zhao drove the ox cart and chased after Su Li.
"Mother of Dahu, there's still a seat. Do you want to sit?"
Su Li wiped the sweat off her forehead and looked at the empty seat. She chuckled.
"Didn't you say someone paid?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Old Zhao's face. "She suddenly had something on and didn't take the cart. This place is still far from home. Look at your forehead, it's covered in sweat. I don't know when we'll reach home. If you don't go back, the children will definitely be anxious. Hurry up and get in the car!"
Su Li thought of the two little fellows and wiped her sweat before jumping onto the ox cart.
With the ox cart, it was indeed much easier. Everyone gossiped about what had happened recently.
From their words, Su Li analyzed why there was an empty seat. It turned out that Wang Chunhua had met her maternal family. She brought He Jinbao to her family after buying her things.
The ox cart that could have been full had empty seats because of Wang Chunhua's change of plans. Old Zhao almost vomited blood. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have rejected Su Li. Now, he had shot himself in the foot.
Usually, no one would sit on the ox cart at all. He could only count on the days where the people went to the market so he could earn some money. If his wife knew that he had pushed business out, he wondered how badly he would get scolded!
When they arrived at the village entrance, Su Li got off the ox cart first.
"Hey, you haven't paid yet!" Old Zhao stopped Su Li.
Su Li asked in confusion, "What money?"
Old Zhao was almost angered to death by her words. He suppressed his anger and said, "Your fare!"
Su Li shrugged. "You were the one who invited me to take the car. At that time, you didn't say that you wanted money, so I thought it was free. Now that you're asking me for money, I seriously suspect that you're lying to me."
"What happened without my knowledge doesn't count. Besides, I'm not to blame for this. You can only blame yourself for not explaining it clearly in advance."
"You..." Old Zhao pointed at Su Li, speechless.
Su Li waved at him. "It's getting late, so I won't chat with you anymore. Bye bye. I'll take your car next time."
"You come back, you come back."
Old Zhao's exasperated voice sounded from behind.
The corners of Su Li's lips curled up as she walked home.
A kind person would be bullied and a good horse would be ridden by others. Did they really think that she, Su Li, was a soft bun?
The two little fellows were playing at the door. When they saw Su Li, they threw the mud in their hands.
"Brother, she's back."
"I saw."
