Chapter 1248: Looking For Trouble
“That is my wife. She’s here with me, but not here to do any work,” Lu Xingzhi said coldly. Then, he carried a sack of things on his back and quickly left while holding Jiang Yao’s hand.
After they had gone far away, Lu Xingzhi snorted coldly and said, “Stay away from that person. The way he looks at you is as if he wants to dig his eyes out!”
He did not hide his hostility at all. The way that person looked at Jiang Yao made him extremely uncomfortable.
Even though there were as many people looking at Jiang Yao as there were hairs on a cow’s back in Shu City, not many would use that kind of frivolous gaze to size up Jiang Yao.
Lu Xingzhi was not any weaker than those people who moved goods there all year round. However, he was not stupid. He would not show off his extraordinary physical strength foolishly. After carrying the sack for more than half an hour, he even deliberately showed that he could not bear it, but he gritted his teeth and endured it with all his might for the sake of money.
Lu Xingzhi’s head was drenched in sweat from carrying goods back and forth. Jiang Yao followed him closely, wiping his sweat from time to time. The two of them behaved like a normal newly married couple. The husband was working hard to earn money, while the wife was heartbroken as she accompanied him by the side.
Just as Lu Xingzhi was thinking of finding an opportunity to stir some trouble, he did not expect that someone else would take action before he could.
Lu Xingzhi had already avoided the other party once, but the other party still wanted to charge at him. If he had not pushed Jiang Yao away, he and Jiang Yao would have been crushed by two sacks of goods.
Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao knew that the other party had done that on purpose.
Lu Xingzhi had dodged the disaster by a hair’s breadth. He and Jiang Yao were not hit, but the person who deliberately bumped into him was not as quick-witted as he was. The heavy sacks of goods crushed his feet, causing him to scream in pain.
The sacks fell to the ground, and the things inside were scattered and shattered. Then, Jiang Yao realized that the sacks were filled with canned food. However, the fact that canned food was loaded and unloaded in sacks surprised Jiang Yao.
When she took a closer look, there was no information about the factory on the cans. Instead, all kinds of brands were printed on the lids, and some were even rusty.
Jiang Yao understood that it was an illegal factory.
The commotion immediately attracted the foreman’s attention. The person on the ground hugged his legs and complained, “That person hit me! Outsiders are always blind. If you don’t know how to do this kind of work, then don’t do it. Look, my legs are broken now, and so many things are smashed. Let him pay for it.”
“Little Brother, what did I tell you just now? Didn’t I ask you to be careful? Those are fragile things. Why did you drop them on other people? You should compensate that man and our factory. Two sacks of canned food are worth hundreds!”
When the foreman said that it was worth hundreds, the onlookers were so shocked that they gasped.
They were only earning one buck and thirty cents after moving those goods here a day; it would not even cover the cost of their food. When the person asked for hundreds of bucks, would it not kill them?
Someone in the crowd whispered, “That couple is from out of town. This is bad. When I went over just now, I overheard that our foreman had taken a liking to that young man’s wife, so he deliberately sent someone to pick a fight with that young man. That young man won’t be able to afford to pay so much money. Would he use his wife to pay off his debts?”
