I have never been so anxious waiting for a delivery as I was this time. It wasn't until four days later that the delivery guy called me. As usual, I said, "Just leave the package in the cloth bag at the door, thank you."
The delivery guy shook the box and asked while on the phone, "Bro, you better get it soon. I see the snacks you bought moving inside."
I pretended to be calm, "It's imported, maybe it's fancy. Did they also send an electric toy? I'm not sure, but don't worry, I'll pick it up after work."
Just as I entered the residential area after work, I saw an ambulance parked in front of our building.
A few steps ahead, medical staff were carrying a stretcher with an elderly lady clutching her chest in pain. Wasn't she Mrs. Zhu from the neighboring unit?
I kindly leaned in, "Wow, Mrs. Zhu? What happened to you?"
Her face turned even paler, pointing a trembling finger at me, her lips quivering unable to speak.
Her daughter, with an air of aggression, pushed me aside and said through gritted teeth, "You wait, I'll settle the score with you when I get back! If anything happens to my mom, I'll make you pay!"
I innocently asked the onlookers, "What's wrong with her mom? What's it got to do with me?"
People shook their heads, and an informed auntie said, "I heard she was frightened, had a sudden heart attack..."
I shrugged, "Well, it seems like karma, but what's that got to do with me?"
Stepping forward, I checked my empty delivery pouch, turned it inside out, confirming it was indeed empty. I pointed at the daughter's back and said, "Don't come after me, I should be the one coming after you! Look, your mom stole my delivery again, what are you going to do about it!"
The daughter stormed off in anger, ignoring me.
The neighbors, familiar with the old lady's behavior, tried to console me with their words.
Though I seemed to swallow my pride, the one truly wronged was probably Mrs. Zhu, attacked by cockroaches.
At her daughter's insistence, Property Manager Li reluctantly followed, updating Mrs. Zhu's condition and whereabouts in the residents' group chat.
【We have arrived at the hospital! [Hospital picture]】
【Auntie Zhu has been taken to the ICU for emergency treatment [ICU picture and the irritable daughter's picture]】
【Thank you all for your concern.】
【Mrs. Zhu's daughter: Are you okay? My mom is in critical condition, what are you doing? Broadcasting live? I will report you!】
The residents' group chat burst into laughter.
I chuckled and typed, 【Indeed, Li, look how "irritable" she is.】
She didn't understand the term "irritable," but many gamers did, causing more laughter in the chat.
After a night of emergency treatment, Li reported that Mrs. Zhu was fine, just a sudden heart attack that needed immediate attention.
Knowing the old lady was okay, her daughter exploded in the chat, directly mentioning me.
【What damn thing did you leave at the door to harm my mom and make her take it?】
【Cockroaches! There were hundreds of live cockroaches of all sizes! Are you even human? Thinking of such a vengeful trick?】
【Thank goodness my mom is fine, reimburse the medical expenses quickly!】
【Stop pretending, reply to me!】
【@601@601@601@601@601@601……】
Seeing her furious state, I doubled over with laughter.
