Construction materials encroaching on the road

When building a house, it must be covered, materials must be gathered according to regulations, not affect neighbors, and not encroach on the road.

On Sunday morning, Mrs. Hong leisurely walked her bicycle out to the alley. On the basket, she tied some bundles of water spinach she had just picked, intending to take them to the early market to sell to some familiar housewives. But after going less than ten meters, she had to stop. In the middle of the narrow alley like a bottleneck, red bricks and yellow sand spilled out onto the road, blocking the path.

Mrs. Hong muttered:

- Public road is encroached as if it were one's own.

At that moment, Mr. Thang, the homeowner, ran out of the house under construction, shovel in hand, his shirt covered in cement, and said to Mrs. Hong:

- You can't go this way, the bricks were just laid last night. Go around to another alley!

Mrs. Hong growled:

– Go around? Do you think it’s easy for this old body to go to another alley? It’s a big road with lots of vehicles and several times farther? You guys who build it should know what to do. It’s your own private road.

Mr. Thang hesitated, embarrassed:

- They brought it early and dumped it on the street without asking me. The helpers haven't arrived yet so I can't move it inside.

From the house across the street, Mrs. Ly, the head of the neighborhood, heard Mrs. Hong loudly step out and say:

- I've told you many times. When building a house, you have to cover it, gather materials according to regulations, not affect neighbors, and not encroach on the road. Mr. Thang, oh Mr. Thang!

Mr. Thang bowed his head and whispered:

- Yes, I will clean it up tomorrow, I promise.

Mrs. Hong still did not believe and said:

- I'm sick of hearing promises like that. The day you mixed the concrete, you left your tricycle blocking the way. Mrs. Hoa's nephew, Ty, was late for school and was running in a hurry, so he slipped and broke his leg because of the spilled cement. Remember?

Mrs. Ly said sternly:

- I suggest you clean it up this afternoon, I'll check tomorrow. Otherwise, the neighborhood association will report it to the ward for handling.

Mr. Thang nodded quickly:

- Yes, yes, I know. It's been clean since this afternoon.
