One day she dreams and enjoys half a lifetime of happiness that her two sons an...

Chapter 26 Blackmail

Standing on the street, Wu Minjun watched Chang Pengfei pushing his bicycle, sweating profusely as he sold popsicles, and she inexplicably wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.

"Let's go back, we can't sell any popsicles!"

Wu Minjun clutched her handkerchief, her mind tense as she observed the passersby, afraid that an acquaintance might suddenly appear and call her name.

She increasingly regretted her sudden impulse to come and see Chang Pengfei selling popsicles.

She actually thought Chang Pengfei could buy a house by selling popsicles!

"Wait a little longer..." Chang Pengfei lowered his head in silence.

He really likes Wu Minjun. He wants to save enough money to buy a house by setting up a street stall. If he has to choose someone to be his wife, it has to be Wu Minjun!

Chang Pengfei once saw a newspaper article about a person who made a fortune of 10,000 yuan. He naturally assumed that making money was an easy thing. But after trying it, he realized that it was too difficult!

Wu Minjun twisted her handkerchief, not understanding his actions.

They could go home to get money to buy a house, and then everything would be solved. Why don't they go back?

Wu Minjun began to doubt Chang Pengfei's love for her. Was Chang Pengfei not a good match for her?

Wu Minjun put the handkerchief in her pocket and said sullenly, "Fine, you keep selling popsicles, I'm going home now!"

After saying that, he left only his silhouette.

Chang Pengfei hung his head, unable to lift it for a long time.

Not far away, at the corner of the wall, Sister Sun gestured to Zhou Hongyu with her elbow and teased, "Look at this young couple, they have a good relationship. They're even selling popsicles together. You should hold on to such a good daughter-in-law!"

Sister Sun kept an eye on Chang Pengfei's popsicle business, and seeing that business was getting worse and worse, she couldn't hold back any longer after get off work today and insisted on dragging Zhou Hongyu over to take a look.

look!

Open your eyes and look carefully!

No matter how hard your son works, he just wants to earn money to buy a house and get married. If you need to borrow money, just ask now, don't hold your two children back!

After Sister Sun finished speaking, seeing that Zhou Hongyu was still cold-hearted, she added, "The child is so shameless and hardworking. What is he going through all this trouble for? Isn't it to marry the girl he likes? You shouldn't have any complaints about her!"

“I know you’re angry because of the unreasonable conditions suddenly proposed by the Wu family, but what does it have to do with the girl? Don’t wait until this really falls through and the child hates you to death in the future…”

Zhou Hongyu nudged Sister Sun with her elbow: "Don't rush to speak, look ahead, what's going on?"

After Wu Minjun left, two bicycles came from the other end and stopped beside Chang Pengfei.

Bicycles blocked his way, one in front and one behind.

Chang Pengfei honestly said, "Brothers, please make way for me, I can't walk like this."

A fat man approached arrogantly: "Leave? Where do you think you're going, you brat? Hand over all your money right now!"

We've run into highway robbers!

Chang Pengfei couldn't help but feel fortunate that Wu Minjun left in time; otherwise, given his abilities, he couldn't guarantee that Wu Minjun would be unharmed in the face of these people.

Chang Pengfei, sweating profusely, pleaded, "My business is terrible; I can't even break even every day. Please, have mercy on me!"

A skinny man stood next to the fat man, looking at Chang Pengfei with a mocking expression: "So what if business is bad? We all know you have a proper job. As long as you give us five hundred yuan, we will never go to your workplace to tell anyone about what you're doing outside!"

Chang Pengfei felt his throat being gripped tightly. He slurred, "My workplace? No, what do you want?!"

The fat man grinned slyly: "Little brother, what else could we be thinking about? We obviously want money!"

The skinny man pulled out a cloth bag and threw it at Chang Pengfei, saying arrogantly, "You better know what's good for you. If you're short even a penny of the five hundred yuan, you can expect to be fired from your job for doing this kind of thing outside!"

So, when Zhou Hongyu walked nearby, she heard these words.

Zhou Hongyu slapped the skinny man hard across the face and kicked him in the knee.

"Who are you asking for 500 yuan? Who's going to be fired by your company? I'm standing right here listening. Do you dare say it again?"

The fat man turned around and saw Zhou Hongyu, looking fierce and menacing, walking towards him with bloodshot eyes after beating up his good brother.

The fat man grabbed the bicycle and wanted to ride it away.

"You smug woman, don't get cocky. Just wait and see if this kid gets fired!"

Zhou Hongyu kicked the bicycle's rear wheel again, and the fat man fell to the ground, cramping up in pain.

"Stinky, stinky woman..."

Zhou Hongyu stepped on the bicycle and kicked it hard, as it was pressing down on the fat man.

"Come on, you'd better yell even louder, and see if I'll hold back!"

"mom……"

Hearing the weak and feeble voice beside her, Zhou Hongyu was furious. How could someone who couldn't even stand up like that be planning to get married?

Can he support his wife?

Can he support his children?

Zhou Hongyu pressed the fat man she was stepping on, "Tell me, who told you who this kid works here?"

Chang Pengfei, who was quietly approaching, was taken aback. It turned out that someone was up to no good behind his back!

The fat man, pinned under the bicycle and struggling to breathe, still maintained his strong sense of loyalty: "Hmph, you bitch, you won't get a single word out of me!"

Over there, the skinny man, who had been ordered by Sister Sun to squat on the ground with his hands on his head, said: "As expected of my elder brother, come on, do whatever you want to us, we'll be heroes again in eighteen years!"

The fat man raised his chin and gave Zhou Hongyu a disdainful look.

Zhou Hongyu chuckled, her eyes filled with coldness: "What can I do to you? I'll just send you to the police station, and the police will just give you a beating!"

The fat man and the thin man smiled upon hearing this.

Zhou Hongyu changed the subject: "See, this isn't a big deal. I don't think we need to bother the police. My family is in Zhoujia Village on the outskirts of the city. I'll take you two back. The fat one, if you don't feed him, you'll have to work hard for me. The skinny one, at mealtimes, you'll have to eat as much as you can in front of the fat one!"

Fat guy & Skinny guy: God, are you trying to kill us all?!

Zhoujia Village is also known as a village of villains. The people in Zhoujia Village are all more difficult to mess with than the last. It is said that there is an old lady who is comparable to a female demon!

Fatty: "Sis! Can you give me less work, and then give me some food!"

Skinny guy: "Sis! I can work too! Can I eat a little less food?"

Sister Sun: "..."

Hongyu, I didn't know you had such a wicked sense of humor.

Chang Pengfei also felt this was too cruel, and he pleaded on their behalf: "Mom, their crimes don't warrant this, please..."

Zhoujia Village was his maternal grandmother's stronghold. His maternal grandmother was a very fierce old woman. It would be better to send these two people directly to the police station than to bring them to Zhoujia Village.

Zhou Hongyu gave him a look, and he immediately dared not speak.

If you can't solve the problem, don't come out and point fingers, or act like a saint and plead for the bad guys!

Seeing this, the fat man finally revealed who had told them Chang Pengfei's identity.

“We weren’t planning on getting money from your son. It was just that an older woman was being nosy and suggested we use this method to ask your son for money! We don’t even know that old lady. We were just short of money, so we gave it a try. We didn’t expect your son to be so scared on the spot!”

Auntie?

Zhou Hongyu's intuition told her that the person was very likely Wu's mother!
