The Soul Reborn

29. The Law of the Jungle (Who is Strong, Who Wins)

Zhu Haimei daily cooked four large basins of rice and four cold dishes, as well as six hot dishes. It took him two hours to prepare his trade. Now, the time to sell his food was extended by half an hour and that left him exhausted. However, other than busying himself with his work, there was nothing else he could do to pass the time. After all, as long as he had enough money to save, then his heart would feel calm.

Usually after he finished selling food, Zhu Haimei would return to his small house, then relax by sitting in a lounge chair while enjoying a pot of tea and reading a book. He could not enjoy such free time in his previous life.

But today, as he had just finished selling his food and was getting ready to go home, he noticed that there were some people walking towards him. He thought that they were his customers and shouted to tell them. "The food's up, come early tomorrow."

However, they continued their steps to confront Zhu Haimei.

This made Zhu Haimei startled and felt a bad feeling in his heart.

"Who lets you sell here?" Asked one of the people who seemed to be their leader, as he arrived before Zhu Haimei.

Zhu Haimei then sat down, 'Their soup came to the hammer.' Upon hearing the man speak in a harsh tone, Zhu Haimei was also stirred with emotion. "Who are you?"

The leader of the group smiled and pointed his finger at the construction site.

Zhu Haimei also understood what the person meant. It turned out that they were people from the construction site's canteen. The leader of the people then said, "We've let you sell here for a few months. Now stop, don't be so greedy."

Being greedy? Are they kidding? Would Zhu Haimei be called greedy if in one day I only earned a few yuan after working so hard?

"Sister, my business is a small business. I just make a living to meet the needs of food.

There are only a few workers who eat here, the amount of tudaj is proportional to the number of workers who eat in your canteen."

The man then waved his hand saying, "Ah don't do it, don't say it like that, Alright, tomorrow don't come again."

They obviously intimidated Zhu Haimei, he then replied to them by saying, "I didn't break the law when selling here either, so tomorrow I will still come here."

"Oh, it turns out you're a stubborn person."

As he felt that there was nothing wrong with his words, Zhu Haimei replied. "Don't call me stubborn, I'm just telling you the truth." Zhu Haimei seemed busy giving away his wares, he was piling several vegetable basins into one.

Behind the man who was the leader of the group of people who came to him, a young man suddenly appeared. He kicked some of Zhu Haimei's side dish basins into disarray, even rolling two meters.

The youngster's actions took Zhu Haimei by surprise. He quickly said, "What are you doing?"

The young man pointed his index finger in front of Zhu Haimei. "What am I doing? I'm warning you, don't sell here again tomorrow!"

"Urus is your own business, don't mind me." Zhu Haimei replied firmly.

The leader of the mob then stepped forward towards Zhu Haimei while pointing at Zhu Haimei's face while saying, "I said, you must not come tomorrow's song. If you come to the song, we won't let you go."

Zhu Haimei then dismissed the finger of the person from before him while laughing coldly. "Then I will wait for you to come to destroy my stall." Challenge Zhu Haimei. Why do people here like to point at others with their fingers?

"Oh, you seem fierce too. Alright since you're still coming again tomorrow, we'll just wait. Everyone, let's go." After that they all left Zhu Haimei's stall.

Zhu Haimei was furious with their actions.

Bullies were indeed everywhere, but he did not expect that this time he would have to deal with them. If the law enforcement unit told him to leave, then he would definitely leave obediently. However, people had just blatantly threatened him.

Now what should he do?

Zhu Haimei then crouched down to retrieve his scattered basin. All basins are made of enamel material, so the edges will be easily damaged if kicked. He sighed while cleaning the dirt that was attached to his basin, then put it again on the trolley. It was good that if the basin was not damaged, it meant that he could still use it again.

On the way home, his mood was still gloomy. Could he have Shen Dongyuan come to help him tomorrow? However, as he recalled Shen Dongyuan's gaze looking at him with a cold gaze, Zhu Haimei instantly undoed his intentions. Just look at tomorrow, Zhu Haimei thought.

Today, Zhu Haimei stayed in his small house until the afternoon. He plans to go home when the sky is dark. When he returned home the moon was already slowly rising up into the sky and its golden light was shining on the streets he passed by, very beautiful. Even though the night sky seemed beautiful, Zhu Haimei still felt uneasy from worrying about tomorrow.

The next day, the, Zhu Haimei got up early in the morning to cook Suancailuiyupian (whisked fillet fried fish with pickled cabbage) and Hongshaorou (pork belly seasoning soy sauce) as well as Mayoubanjisi (chicken milk and salad) as well as Hongshaoqiezi (whiskers eggplant) with all my heart. The entire cuisine that Zhu Haimei cooked was the main dish. He always cooks the dish with all his heart.

If he really fails to sell it, then he will give it all to the people at the construction site as a form of gratitude for their support so far.

However, after twelve o'clock in the afternoon, no one opened the gate of the construction site and no one came out

Meanwhile, Zhu Haimei was already wearing an apron and standing in front of his truck. His eyes stared at the row of food basins he had prepared. In this hot and dry weather, his heart suddenly felt cold.

Zhu Haimei then turned his gaze towards the gate of the construction site and stared at the gate without blinking. He hoped the gate would open. Shortly after, there was someone coming out from the small fast open gate. He was very surprised when he saw that it was Xiao Huzi.

Xiao Huzi ran very fast to get to him.

"Sister."

"Huzi, how did you get out?"

"Sir, Chairman Xue told you to go home. The person who took over the canteen was a close relative of the Chairman of the Construction Site. All foremen have been notified and workers are not allowed out during the day."

Zhu Haimei was immediately startled after hearing Xiao Huzi's words just now. But after he responded to the remark, Xiao Huzi had already dashed away. Zhu Haimei really did not expect that the workers were forbidden to come out. This really caused Zhu Haimei to be stirred with emotion.

Although the gate of the construction site was closed again, Zhu Haimei still thanked Chairman Xue. Of course he remembered that Chairman Xue was the one who helped him carry the trolley and encouraged him when he first came to sell here. If not for Chairman Xue's help, Zhu Haimei would not have known if he could have done any of this.

And just now, Chairman Xue was still kind enough to tell Xiao Huzi to come out and tell him about the information. Zhu Haimei could think of no other words other than a thank you to Chairman Xue.

If Zhu Haimei did not sell food, what more could he do? Will he be able to return to his old profession in this era? However, how can he develop it without the help of computers and other advanced tools?

As the sun moved west, Zhu Haimei was sitting beside the trolley and not moving in the slightest. Although he had not had lunch, he did not feel hungry at all.

Zhu Haimei could not deny that this worker had actually helped him fulfill all his desires since he was in this body. If not for this job, how could he have survived in a place that was unfamiliar to him? Moreover, he still had to face the ridicule from the people and insults from Shen Dongyuan.

It will still wait near the construction site, even if it has to wait until the day turns dark. However, he had to give all the food to the workers who were usually his customers.

But before the workers came out, a group of people who came to him yesterday came again.

Zhu Haimei took a deep breath then stood up slowly and clenched his hands tightly. If they dare to start it, it will serve them until it is finished. His face turned serious along with his already unanimous determination.

The group of people were still led by the man yesterday. The man walked up to Zhu Haimei and then mockingly said, "Yesterday I told you not to come. Look, none of your customers have come here. If you still dare, come back tomorrow."

"Yes, of course."

"Ehey, still stubborn as well. What did I say yesterday? Destroy."
