Chapter 422: The troublesome joke
Banggeng cursed the two stall owners and Li Shengli while riding his tricycle towards the courtyard.
After returning to the courtyard, it was very quiet and most people were lying on their beds, ready to rest.
At this time in the dead of night, Banggeng walked into the courtyard with something in his hand and a clang. The noise was so loud that people started cursing.
Banggeng couldn't care less about all these. He was very angry right now. How could he continue his barbecue business after what Lee Seungri did to him?
After returning to the central courtyard, Banggeng threw his things aside while cursing. He planned to wait and see. The two men also said they would come again tomorrow, which proved that his business would be affected tomorrow.
"Banggeng, what's wrong with you?" Jia Zhang hadn't gone to bed yet. When she heard Banggeng's voice, she hurried out. Seeing Banggeng's angry look, Jia Zhang hurried over with concern.
"It's okay, grandma, you go to sleep first." It was already late, and Banggeng didn't intend to disturb others.
"Are you really okay?" Jia Zhang looked at Banggeng and realized that he didn't look like he was okay because he was angry.
"It's really alright, go and have a rest first and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Banggeng really didn't know how to tell others about this kind of thing today. Could he say that it was Lee Seungri who came to cause trouble? People would ask why Lee Seungri didn't cause trouble for others but only for him. Could he tell others that he had made several anonymous reports? Of course not.
After returning to his room, Banggeng simply washed up and then tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. He really couldn't imagine why Li Shengli would find out that it was he who made the anonymous call to report his factory.
Shouldn't this kind of thing be a very secretive thing?
Banggeng thought about this question over and over again, and gradually he fell asleep while thinking.
The next morning, when the whole family was having breakfast together, everyone at the table was looking at Bang Geng who was sitting next to them and eating breakfast with a grim expression on his face.
Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth and asked the question everyone wanted to ask: "Bang Geng, you came back so late yesterday and made so much noise, did something happen?"
"I get angry when I mention this. I don't know what the crazy Lee Seung-ri who used to live in front of me did. He found two people selling barbecue next to my stall. The taste is good and the price is very low."
Banggeng certainly would not explain the reasons why Lee Seung-ri targeted him. In his opinion, a few anonymous reporting calls were nothing. If there was nothing fishy about Lee Seung-ri's factory, these reporting calls would have no effect at all.
"What? It's Li Shengli again!" Jia Zhang was so angry that her teeth were itching. It was Li Shengli who had been against their family before. Ever since Dongxu passed away, Li Shengli never helped his family. Later, he spread the news that Qin Huairu had an IUD throughout the compound.
In the past, everyone in this courtyard would say that Qin Huairu was a good daughter-in-law, a good mother, and a good wife. But now, it is acceptable to say that she is a good daughter-in-law and a good mother, but no one says that she is a good wife. What kind of wife is so vicious as to get an IUD and not give birth to children for her husband?
"Bang Geng, tell me what happened. If what Li Shengli did is really too much, I will let Zhuzi take you to seek justice." Yi Zhonghai became excited when he heard that Li Shengli dared to do such a bad thing.
We had never caught him before, but now that we have caught him, we have to make a big fuss. He is very rich, and if we catch him, we have to make him pay for everything. Banggeng was a little angry. He was indeed wrong in this matter, but he couldn't go on like this. Banggeng knew that Lee Seungri was always rich. If he didn't care about money and insisted on shutting down his business, then Banggeng might not be able to stick to it.
So Bang Geng told him everything that happened yesterday, especially the two people who used the excuse of selling barbecue at a low price and advertising the seasoning.
"Ah? This." Banggeng's words made everyone silent. It was hard to say about this matter. You said that Li Shengli used some tricks, he did, but there was nothing wrong with these tricks.
They have money to sell barbecue at a loss, and no one can complain about this matter. The only thing is that the two of them have been selling barbecue next to Banggeng's stall, which is a bit unkind.
But there is nothing to say about this. They bought the two plots of land with money, and those who had done business in those two plots before only left after receiving the money.
"Bang Geng, how do you want to solve it?" Sha Zhu didn't have any good solution either, this was because of Li Shengli's money ability.
There are only two ways to solve this problem. One is to change the place, and the other is to change the route. I just don't know if Lee Seung-ri will find someone to chase Bang Geng all the time, making it impossible for Bang Geng to do business.
"I just have no other choice, so I want to ask if you have any good ideas." Bang Geng was a little annoyed. There weren't many things he could do. Cooking was one of the skills he was more familiar with. Other things like showing movies were no longer necessary for him.
There is really no way to solve Lee Seung-ri's problem, unless Bang-geng finds a stable job in a company that is not afraid of Lee Seung-ri's suppression.
"If you ask me, you might as well just follow your silly dad." Xiaodang made his suggestion. His brother had offended someone this time.
"Yeah, brother, why don't you ask silly dad to find someone to ease the relationship between you and Li Shengli, so that he won't target you anymore." Huaihua thought of this smartly.
"Hmph, Li Shengli is a petty person. I think this will be difficult." Yi Zhonghai has a say in what kind of person Li Shengli is. His not-so-nimble legs and his face that slaps from time to time all show that Li Shengli is a petty person who will take revenge.
"No way, he didn't target us except my brother." Xiao Dang also reacted at this time. He remembered that his mother said that Li Shengli was the same as his stupid father in that he would avenge himself.
"Brother, didn't you offend him in some way? Otherwise, why would he keep holding on to you?" Xiaodang caught the blind spot. Based on what they knew about Li Shengli's personality, he always treated their whole family as invisible people. He pretended not to see them when they met. Why did he have to target Bang Geng?
"How did I offend him? He just doesn't like me." Can Banggeng say that he and Lee Seungri have a big grudge? Of course not. "Look, my barbecue business has just started, and his factory immediately launched barbecue seasoning. It's not like he is targeting me."
Banggeng originally just wanted to use this as an excuse, and it turned out that he guessed it right. Lee Seungri was specifically targeting him because Banggeng had stolen from his restaurant before.
It’s just that Lee Seung-ri has never found a good excuse to target Bang Geng, and the barbecue seasoning only adds to the trouble for Bang Geng.
"Forget it, forget it. No one can explain this matter clearly. Let's put it this way, Banggeng, I will go find Li Shengli and see if I can ease your conflict. It's not okay for him to target you every day. This is clearly hurting others and not benefiting yourself." Shazhu couldn't figure it out either. He didn't know what Banggeng had done.
