379. What to do with the mayor (5/10)
Barbara, a female painter, is the earliest resident of the town, and her husband is now Wang Bo's right-hand man, controlling the supermarket for him.
In Wang Bo's impression, the family has a good personality, Anderson is more introverted and low-key, and Barbara is the person who talks about the family, but because she is an artist, Su zhì is very tall and very good.
This is the first urban quarrel between residents, and it is related to garbage disposal, so he has to solve it.
Barbara's home is located in the center of the town, which is quiet in real estate jargon, because the town has a small population and few shops, the overall environment is quieter, and the central area is more prosperous and relatively noisy.
The Ford Motor Hotel, located on the west side of Barbara's home, is a small three-story building separated by a small garden between the two houses.
At this time, in front of the small garden, Barbara was angrily arguing with a bald middle-aged white man, who was Ford.
Her son, Kelvin, stood beside her and glared at Ford, while someone watched him - and someone told Wang Bo that foreigners didn't like to see the excitement and that he would slap him in the mouth.
Wang Bo pushed away the onlookers and frowned and walked in, took out the majesty of the mayor and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? For God's sake, can you stop watching here? ”
Because of several cases and a large amount of investment in construction, he still has a very high status in the hearts of the townspeople, and after listening to his words, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, but everyone still watched not far away.
Wang Bo picked up Barbara's daughter Sally, first squeezed her eyes and teased her a few times, and then said to her son Kelvin: "Young man, where is your father?" ”
Kelvin was a seven-year-old boy, and the little guy at this age was desperate for the approval of adults, and when he heard Wang Bo call him 'young man', the boy was very happy, puffed up his chest and said, "Mayor Town, Dad works in a supermarket, do you need me to call him back?" ”
Wang Bo patted him on the shoulder and said, "No, I need you to take your sister to him and tell him, the mayor of the town invites you to drink a bottle of lemonade, this is a manly drink." ”
Hearing this, Kelvin was obviously moved, but he didn't leave, but looked at Ford hesitantly and said, "I can't leave, otherwise he will bully my mother." ”
Wang Bohaha laughed and said: "With the mayor here, then justice and justice are there, I won't let people bully your mother, and of course, I won't allow you to bully anyone." ”
The boy laughed too, and he took his sister's little hand and led her to the supermarket.
After sending the two children away, Wang Bo's expression became stern, and he looked at Barbara dissatisfiedly and said, "Madam, are you arguing in front of the children?" Is this your way of education? How artists are educated?! ”
Because Wang Bo offered Anderson a dignified and well-paid job, and because he had helped solve the loan shark crisis in the Oakland casino, Barbara respected him even more.
Hearing Wang Bo's accusation, she said aggrievedly: "Boss, listen to my explanation, I don't want to do this, but I'm dizzy today." Ford, this bastard ......"
"Are you sure you're right to call your neighbor that? As far as I know, Ford may not be a saint, but he's no jerk, he's helped a few tourists in trouble, and he has Kiwi virtues. ”
The bald Ford was overjoyed when he heard his words, and said loudly: "Mayor Town, that's what I should do, I'm a part of Sunset Town, I love Sunset Town, if there is anything I can do to improve Sunset Town's image, I'm willing to do it." ”
Wang Bo looked at him and sneered: "Ford, don't be proud yet, you love Sunset Town?" Are you a part of Sunset? And then you just litter? ”
Ford opened his mouth to speak, but shook his head in vain.
One person gave a sweet date and slapped him, Wang Bo had done enough foreplay, and said, "Barbara, you say it first, what's going on?" ”
Barbara said angrily: "This guy, I mean my neighbor, he runs a hotel, and there is a lot of garbage every day, but he is very lazy, and he actually digs a pit behind the house and buries it......"
"All I bury is biodegradable garbage, and I don't pollute our town......" Ford argued with a blushing face.
Barbara angrily pointed to the garden and said, "I don't care what you buried, burying garbage around the house is bad behavior, you are still buried in our garden, and even now you have to bury it in the back of my house!" You bad, you bad guy! ”
She probably wanted to scold the 'bastard', but she was warned by Wang Bo and could only temporarily change the title to 'bad guy', which is quite interesting.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Wang Bo figured out what happened.
Ford's hotel produces garbage every day, and he buries the degradable garbage in the land, and over time, the land around his house is buried, so he starts burying it around Barbara's house.
Because the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the garbage in the underground ** will produce a bad smell, and Barbara can't stand it, so she quarrels with him.
Wang Bo motioned for the two to stop talking, and he said to Ford first: "Man, you know, New Zealand has a community garbage management system, right?" Four are not allowed, can you sue me? ”
Ford sighed and didn't speak, and Wang Bo said to himself: "It's not allowed to throw garbage in public places, it's not allowed to throw garbage from the windows of a moving car, it's not allowed to ignore the garbage dropped outside the garbage bin at home, and it's not allowed to throw garbage on other people's land without permission, right?" ”
Fuku nodded and said weakly, "yes, that's right." ”
"Depending on the size and nature of the discarded items, littering is punishable by fines, ranging from 100 to 400 yuan for the initial fine. If the amount of garbage dumped at one time is huge, or it has a bad public impact, or if it is repeatedly reprimanded, you can be fined up to 30,000 yuan, you know? Wang Bo asked again.
He wasn't talking nonsense, there were real fines for littering in New Zealand, such as $250 for throwing a bag of garbage – the kind of shopping bag found in a supermarket. If you discard broken glass, sharp metal, medical waste, or other items that can injure others, you will be fined NZ$400.
When he heard the fine, Ford was anxious, and he said helplessly: "Mayor of the town, I don't want to, but there are no garbage trucks and no garbage disposal stations in the town, so what can I do if I don't bury them?" ”
Wang Bo was silent for a few seconds, then he looked at Barbara again and said, "There is no doubt about it, ma'am, your neighbor did something wrong in this matter, and according to the law, he must be fined." ”
Barbara just wanted to teach Ford a lesson, and she didn't really want to fine the other party, so she said with some hesitation: "Or, punish him next time?" (To be continued.) )
