"Wang Hao, you'd better be sensible. What you're taking belongs to the public. If you don't return it, you'll be arrested and put in jail,"
Zhao Youquan intimidated Wang Hao, but inside he was thinking, let's see how cocky this kid can get now.
"Oh, is that so? Why don't you check the date on the declaration?"
Wang Hao said, shaking the document in his hand.
"Yesterday's date, so what?"
Zhao Youquan asked impatiently.
"It means that this document was issued only yesterday, but the herbal medicine in my greenhouse was planted well before yesterday. It means that it's not yet public property, so what right do you have to dig it up!"
Wang Hao argued.
"You... But the document doesn't say it goes into effect after this date!"
Zhao Youquan snatched the document and examined it closely, quibbling.
"I don't care! There was no document before, and everyone could dig. Why can't I?"
