Chapter 1876  : Stop or I Will Scream!

It must be the same with women as well.

Li Hang took a few bites before finally losing his appetite.

He saw that the trash can in the kitchen was full and remembered that it contained the evidence of his cooking attempt earlier that morning.

Li Hang quickly changed his clothes to throw out the garbage.

As someone who had never done any housework in his life, he did not know that the garbage need to be sorted into recyclables and non-recyclables.

“Hey you, stop.”

An old woman wearing a red armband from the Neighborhood Committee walked up to Li Hang. Typical old women like her cared about square dancing more than politics. She had no idea that Li Hang was some big wig who could make the Empire shake at his command

“Are you talking to me?” Li Hang turned around to face her.

The old woman from the Neighborhood Committee nodded, “Of course I’m talking to you. Do you see anyone else here? I was wondering who had been littering recently. Our community is occupied by educated intellectuals. You are just a renter, so don’t you dare go about destroying the environment in our community.”

“I...”

Li Hang was completely confused and caught off guard. Since when did he become a renter?

The old woman from the Neighborhood Committee continued, “Stop stalling! Go sort out the rubbish. I already noticed that someone was throwing rubbish without sorting them, and today I finally caught you. It should go without saying, that you are not some young kid. Why can’t you be considerate of the others? It’s not acceptable to mix all your trash together.”

The old woman from the Neighborhood Committee held a skinny wooden stick and continued as she pointed at the garbage bag that Li Hang just tossed in. “These are takeout boxes, right? This is plastic. Plastic is a harmful substance, don’t you know that? Look at these vegetable peelings; they’re compostable. We are all educated individuals, and we can’t just focus on the moment. Today’s inconvenience is for our children and grandchildren in the future. Do you want your children and grandchildren to live in a world of garbage?”

When the old woman from the Neighborhood Committee saw Li Hang was just standing there, she asked aggressively, “What are you looking at me for? Separate the trash as I said!”

“I...” For the first time in his life, Li Hang was squatting next to the trash can and sorting out the garbage.

“These aluminum cans are recyclable.”

Li Hang silently threw the aluminum cans into the recyclables.

“Don’t watch me like a hawk, I’ll sort them out properly.”

Li Hang wanted to get away from her, but he was worried that if this escalated, things would be more difficult for Wu Tong in the future.

He had no choice but to endure it.

Fortunately, there was not too much trash, and it was all from the kitchen. There was not much to be sorted, so he finished quickly.

Li Hang was about to leave when the old woman from the Neighborhood Committee was not ready to let him off the hook. She demanded, “What building and unit do you live in? This is the first time you are caught. If I catch you doing this again next time, I will take a picture of you and post it on the bulletin board for all to see.”

Li Hang was about to explode right then and there!

Fortunately, the old woman from the Neighborhood Committee got a call from a fellow square dancer, and she went off in a hurry.

Just as Li Hang was about to leave, he saw a middle-aged woman casually throwing a few bags of garbage into the same trash dumpster.

“You! Stop right there.”

Li Hang did not want to be stopped by the old woman from the Neighborhood Committee to sort the garbage again.

“What do you want?”

The middle-aged woman looked at Li Hang cautiously, as if Li Hang had some bad intention toward her.

“Your garbage is not sorted.”

When the middle-aged woman heard what Li Hang said, she shouted indignantly, “Are you out of your mind!? The trash dumpster is not for recycling! What do you want? Don’t come near me. If you get any closer, I’ll scream!”

Li Hang cursed to himself hundreds of time.

Why would he hurt that? Did she think he was blind?

Her face was full of wrinkles. There were several rounds of muffin tops on her waist. The age spots on her face could not be covered by her cheap makeup.

Not only was she not as pretty as Wu Tong, but she also lacked the grace and elegance of Wu Tong. Why would he ever want to assault her?
