Lin Yu slept well and dreamlessly. When he woke up, it was almost noon. After lying in bed for a while, Lin Yu shouted to the air in front of him, "Afu?"

Ah Fu: "Host, I'm here."

Lin Yu: "It turns out that I am really bound to the system! I thought I was dreaming!"

Ah Fu: "The host is awake and not asleep."

Lin Yu: "Well, the days of not having to worry about money are so happy!"

Lin Yu stretched out his body and lay on the bed, ready to order takeout for brunch. He skillfully opened the takeout app and chose a fried chicken shop with the highest reviews. He ordered all the products he liked! As for whether he could finish it? Is this a question that needs to be considered? Lin Yu said that he had enough money! If he couldn't finish it, he could take it downstairs and feed the stray animals!

Final check: 135.6 yuan.

Lin Yu: Wow, the prices are so cheap!

Ah Fu: "Host, why don't you go to a better restaurant?"

Lin Yu: "It's too troublesome to go out, and I have to wash my hair! You don't understand the joy of staying at home!"

Ah Fu: ... Today is also the day when Ah Fu doesn't know how to answer the host...

After getting up and cleaning up reluctantly, Lin Yu curled up on the sofa in the living room and continued playing with his mobile phone.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, urgent and heavy, and a male voice came from the other side of the door: "608, open the door!"

Lin Yu: ? ? Is the delivery so fast? It’s just that the guy’s attitude is a bit bad!

"Who is it?" Lin Yu asked loudly.

"Your neighbor!" the male voice outside the door replied.

Lin Yu: What the hell is this neighbor? Thinking that the situation was a bit weird, Lin Yu didn't dare to open the door. He looked through the peephole and saw a tall bald man outside. Lin Yu didn't dare to open the door anymore, so he asked the man outside, "What do you want from me?"

A male voice came from outside the door: "Open the door!" He slammed the door a few more times.

Lin Yu: "I don't know you, why are you opening the door? If you keep banging on the door, I'll call the police!"

A male voice outside the door: "Call the police if you want. I'm going to call the police to warn you too! My child was harmed by you and is still in the hospital! I told you on WeChat yesterday afternoon! How dare you block me? I'm telling you, if you don't pay my medical expenses today, I won't leave! Open the door for me!"

Lin Yu suddenly recalled yesterday's memory. Was that the weirdo outside the door yesterday afternoon? The one whose child stole my crayfish and was hospitalized because of the spicy food?

There was a constant knock on the door. Lin Yu didn't dare to open the door for fear of danger. He quickly took out his cell phone and called 110. The call was quickly connected. Lin Yu explained where he lived and what happened. The police officer who answered the phone told Lin Yu not to rush to open the door, and they would arrange for someone to come over immediately.

After calling the police, Lin Yu felt more at ease. The knocks on the door were deafening, and the shouting outside the door never stopped. But Lin Yu still stayed in the house, not taking a step out, and not responding to the shouting outside the door.

At this time, the neighbors were all disturbed by the noise, and some curious people asked: "What's going on? Why are you making a fuss in the middle of the day?"

The man outside the door shouted, "This person poisoned the food. My child ate her food and is now in the hospital! You did something bad and hid in the house. Come out now. I know you are in the house!"

The curious: "Oh, that's terrible. Did they poison you? How old is your child?"

A male voice outside the door: "Isn't it? My child is only in elementary school, and he is usually a well-behaved child. Now he is in the hospital with an IV drip, and his mouth is swollen. He has acute gastroenteritis!"

The curious: "Oh, what kind of poison is this? It's so terrible? How cruel must one be to kill such a young child?"

Listening to the conversation outside the door, Lin Yu was furious, but she was afraid of danger and did not dare to go out. Who knew if the person outside the door would hurt someone? She wanted to defend herself, but the person outside could not hear clearly through the door. She could only wait anxiously and angrily in the room for the police to arrive.

Several elderly men and women also began to knock on the door: "Whoever lives in there, come out! Explain clearly how you poisoned the child!"

"That's right. Our community has always been peaceful, but there are too many outsiders like you, making the community a mess!"

"You have no conscience. You will be punished for attacking a child!"

…vicious words echoed in his ears one after another. Just when Lin Yu couldn't stand it anymore and was about to open the door to argue, he received a call: "Hello, were you the one who called the police just now?"

Lin Yu: "Yes, who are you?"

The male voice on the phone: "I'm the local police officer. What happened? Which elevator should I take to get to where you live?"

Lin Yu: "You face our building, take the elevator at the rightmost entrance. Come quickly, there are a lot of people banging on the door, I'm worried someone is in danger."

The male voice on the phone: "We are in the elevator, don't come out, protect yourself, we will be there soon, 6th floor, right?"

Lin Yu: "Yes, 6th floor, I won't go out, come quickly!!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu held the phone, his hands shaking unconsciously, and his heartbeat was very fast. There was a lot of noise outside the door, voices, knocks on the door, and so on.

Lin Yu kept praying for the police to come quickly, and every second seemed so long. Fortunately, it wasn't long before someone shouted, "What are you doing? Stop! We are the police!" The knocking on the door stopped, and the voices became quieter.

The knock on the door sounded again, and someone shouted: "Hello, we are the police, we are here, please open the door."

Lin Yu looked through the peephole and saw two uniformed policemen at the door. He breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door carefully.

Policeman A: "You were the one who called the police just now, weren't you?"

Lin Yu: “Yes.”

Policeman A: "Tell me what's going on."

Lin Yu: "I just got up and was waiting for takeout, and then someone came to bang on the door, it was that guy." Lin Yu pointed at the bald man opposite and continued: "He added me on WeChat yesterday and said that his child stole a portion of my spicy crayfish at noon yesterday and was hospitalized due to the spicy food. He wanted me to pay compensation. I ignored him and blocked him on WeChat. I didn't expect him to come to my house and bang on the door today, and it seems that he brought a group of people with him. If you had come a little later, I would have been afraid that I would be in danger."

Policeman A looked around and asked, "Who of you is with this man?"

The surrounding people immediately denied it:

"I didn't, I wasn't!"

“We don’t know this person either.”

"It's hard to see people knocking on the door, so why don't we give them a hand?"

"Yes, we are residents living nearby and are not familiar with this person."

Policeman A yelled, "Why are you all here if you don't know each other? Go back!"

The crowd dispersed immediately but did not leave. A head popped out from behind every window and continued to watch and eat the melons.

Policeman A turned back and continued to understand the situation with Lin Yu. On the other side, Policeman B followed Policeman A closely and blocked the bald man to prevent him from attacking and hurting others.

After questioning Lin Yu, Policeman A came to the bald man and asked, "What's your name?"

Bald man: "Li Xiong. Police comrade, listen to me!"

Policeman A motioned to Policeman B to write down the other party's name, and interrupted the bald man: "Wait a minute, listen to me first! Well, why are you knocking on the girl's door like that? Look how scared the girl is."

Li Xiong: "Comrade police officer, I didn't! Alas, I was just a little too strong, I didn't mean to do anything to her. My child ate her crayfish and is still in the hospital. I just want her to come out and explain clearly and compensate us for the medical expenses."

Policeman A: "You need to pay for the medical expenses. You should speak properly. If you knock on the door like this, people will think you are robbing me!"

"I didn't mean to rob! I'm used to it. I just spoke loudly and knocked on the door a little harder. It was not robbery!" Li Xiong muttered.

Policeman A: "Let's not talk about that for now. Do you know the person next door?"

Lin Yu listened and couldn't help but interjected: "We don't know each other! I have never seen this person, nor his child."

Policeman A turned to Lin Yu and said, "Don't worry, I'll ask him first and then I'll ask you about the situation later." Then he continued to ask Li Xiong, "Do you know him?"

Li Xiong: "I didn't know him before. But..."

Policeman A interrupted Li Xiong and said, "Answer whatever I ask you. Don't rush to answer questions I didn't ask you. You don't know each other, right? Your child took someone else's crayfish. Did you know that you stole it?"

Hearing this, the crowd gathered and began to buzz with discussion.

"Oh, it turns out that the thief is crying thief!"

"Oh, I told you, this guy doesn't look like a good person."

"This family has bad character. They steal other people's takeaway food!"

"This guy's child is stealing things at such a young age. I dare not let my child play with his child. I will have to talk to my child about this later."

"Isn't it? Don't let his children teach our children bad things. I'm also going to go back and tell my grandson not to play with his family."

The noise of the onlookers was getting louder and louder. Policeman A looked around and said, "Everyone, be quiet. If you have nothing to do, go back. Those who need to cook should cook, and those who need to eat should eat. Don't gather here to watch the fun." The noise of the onlookers became quieter, but still no one left.

Li Xiong: "The child was brought back, and we didn't ask any questions."

Policeman A: "You didn't ask any questions, didn't even look at what it was, and just gave it to the child?"

Li Xiong: “Yeah.”

Policeman A: "And then he was admitted to the hospital?"

Li Xiong: "We didn't know it was that spicy. Who would order something spicy? She ordered it so spicy, she was deliberately trying to hurt people!"

Policeman A: "Don't say anything. People ordered takeout for themselves. They like spicy food, which is also their personal preference, right? Your child stole their food, which is wrong."

Li Xiong looked unconvinced: "But my child is still young, how can he understand anything?"

Policeman A: "Children are ignorant, but adults are sensible, right?"

Li Xiong lowered his head and stopped talking.

Policeman A: "When children do something wrong, adults should teach them in time, so as to help them grow. Your case is not a big deal, so I will mediate it for you on the spot. If you are not satisfied, you can take legal action later."

Li Xiong: "If the child did something wrong, we will teach him a lesson, but the child is now in the hospital because of her things, shouldn't she bear the medical expenses?"

Policeman A: "Stealing someone else's food is wrong in the first place. The fact that she was hospitalized due to the spicy food is because you parents failed to fulfill your responsibility to take care of her. What does this have to do with the little girl?"

Li Xiong: "How come it doesn't matter? It's just that her takeaway was too spicy."

Policeman A: "No matter how spicy someone ordered takeout, it has no necessary connection with your child being hospitalized. Your child would have been fine if he didn't take it. Don't underestimate stealing someone else's takeout. If you steal too much, it will be treated as theft."

Li Xiong: "My child only took it this time!"

Policeman A: "It was only once, and you can be punished according to public security cases. But considering that the child is still young and it was only once, we will criticize and educate you this time. Just treat this stomach upset as a lesson for the child. We won't bother with your child anymore. We are all neighbors, so let's settle it privately! What do you think?"

Li Xiong was still a little unhappy and kept muttering about suing the other party, thinking that the other party should be responsible for the medical expenses, or at least pay half.

Lin Yu was also upset. Not only was the takeaway stolen, but he also had to pay compensation for no reason? He wanted to sue her! Lin Yu was ready to hire the best lawyer to fight her to the end!

Policeman A advised Li Xiong again: "That's all I have to say today. It's best to settle such a small matter privately. She doesn't mind that you stole the takeaway food, and you don't have to worry about the child's medical expenses. If you want to sue, that's your freedom, but think about whether it's worth the money and effort. Whether you sue or not, don't harass her anymore. If she calls the police, we will still come! Then we will handle it as a public security case."

Li Xiong quickly responded, "No, no. I didn't harass her."

Policeman A mediated and persuaded Li Xiong for a few more words, and Li Xiong finally accepted the fact that he would not get any compensation. Seeing that the situation was fine, he said goodbye to Lin Yu and left.

At this time, Lin Yu's takeaway also arrived. Carrying a pile of takeaway back to the room, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Ah Fu: "Why is the host unhappy? Isn't the problem solved?"

Lin Yu: "It's solved, but my mood is ruined!"

Ah Fu: "Why don't we go out and do some shopping to have some fun?"

Lin Yu: “Well, that’s a good idea!”

Ah Fu: "Host, would you like to consider changing your living environment?"

Lin Yu looked at the small apartment where he had lived for half a year. It was a standard single apartment with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom and one balcony. The decoration was simple and the furniture was quite new. When he moved in, Lin Yu was very happy for a long time. He felt that it was a good deal to rent such a good house for more than a thousand yuan, and it was also next to his workplace.

However, what happened today made Lin Yu rethink, is this apartment building with more than 10 or 20 small rooms on one floor really a good choice? The people are too messy and their quality is uneven. Now that the conditions are better, I should consider moving to another place.
