Chapter 324 Extravagant Wife VS Scrap-Collecting Husband 18

"Brother Yu, how did you find out about this?" Li Shan wondered to himself.

He often does this kind of thing, and most of the people around him know it, but no one says anything to his face.

He was just using some petty tricks to make money; he wasn't doing anything immoral.

He always kept a good balance, asking for more money from those with more money and less from those with less, never pushing anyone to the brink.

He didn't understand why Yang Ziyu would come to him to ask about this. Could it be that Zhou Zechuan, whom he had tricked this time, was Yang Ziyu's friend?

If that's the case, then it's bad; he doesn't want to offend this kind of person.

He and Yang Ziyu used to be acquainted; they were both street hustlers. However, after Yang Ziyu became successful, they rarely saw each other anymore.

Although they were all thugs, and no one should judge another, Yang Ziyu was petty and calculating, and he didn't want to provoke him. Besides, Yang Ziyu was now rich and powerful, and he couldn't afford to offend him.

"Don't worry, we'll talk when we meet. I've found you a great job delivering money this time..." Yang Ziyu gave an address and then hung up the phone.

Looking at the messages on his phone screen, Yang Ziyu let out a cold laugh.

At the last class reunion, Zhou Zechuan made him lose face so badly, how could he possibly let it go?

However, he had never found a suitable opportunity to retaliate, but now that this had happened, he would definitely not let Zhou Zechuan get away with it.

If you dare offend him, then you can expect your family to be destroyed, your wife and children to be torn apart.

A few days later.

Zhou Zechuan received a call from an unknown number. After answering, he realized it was Li Shan calling.

Li Shan said that his mother hadn't been feeling well lately, probably due to a lingering ailment from last time, and asked Zhou Zechuan to transfer another 30,000 yuan for medical expenses.

Zhou Zechuan hung up the phone without saying a word.

After that, Li Shan made several more calls, but Zhou Zechuan simply blocked the number.

They thought nothing would happen, but Li Shan brought people to the store to cause trouble the next day.

Several burly, tattooed men guarded the entrance, preventing them from working and constantly demanding money.

Zhou Zechuan immediately called the police.

Those people's attitude changed immediately in front of the police, but they turned on them again as soon as the police left.

For the next month, people kept coming to their store to cause trouble.

Sending wreaths, spraying paint, puncturing tires, even urinating and defecating in public...

Their actions were utterly disgusting.

The police came several times to mediate the dispute and arrested several troublemakers, but the situation did not improve at all.

One wave is driven away, and another one comes...

Because we've been busy dealing with these people, the store's profits have been reduced by more than half, and some deals that were previously agreed upon have also been ruined by them.

Zhou Zechuan knew very well that this matter was not so simple. There must be someone behind Li Shan, someone was deliberately trying to frame him.

...

One evening.

Jiang Zhiyi and Zhou Zechuan had just returned from the supermarket with some fruits and vegetables.

Zhou Zechuan walked behind carrying the things, while Jiang Zhiyi skipped and hopped to open the door with the key in hand. But she was startled as soon as she reached the front door.

The entrance was splashed with red paint, or possibly animal blood, and there were large characters written on the wall next to it, essentially telling them to give them money.

Jiang Zhiyi stood there motionless, and Zhou Zechuan quickly went over to support her.

He checked the door; the lock was still in good condition, so no one should have broken in. He said, "Don't look, let's go in first."

Jiang Zhiyi sat down on the sofa, clearly still a little confused. "What's going on?"

Zhou Zechuan knew he could no longer hide it from her, so he had no choice but to tell her everything that had happened over the past month.

He kept it from her for two reasons: first, he didn't want her to worry about these things; second... he didn't want her to know about his predicament, and he didn't want her to think he was so useless.

"I'll handle it as soon as possible," Zhou Zechuan reassured her.

"Hmm," Jiang Zhiyi replied, her mood low.

The two ate dinner in silence.

Afterwards, Jiang Zhiyi stayed in the room, while Zhou Zechuan went outside to clean up the stains.

For the next few days, their doorstep was never quiet.

Those people somehow got Jiang Zhiyi's contact information and started making harassing phone calls to her.

night.

Both of them lay quietly on the bed.

Unlike their usual embrace, Jiang Zhiyi slept with her back to Zhou Zechuan today.

Because of these things, she hadn't been in a good mood lately, and her eyes were always filled with worry and impatience. She was also somewhat resistant to his approach.

The two hadn't been intimate for a long time, not even with the most ordinary kiss.

"What did you promise me before we got married?" Jiang Zhiyi's voice suddenly rang out in the room. "You said you would give me the best life and make me happy..."

The night was already very quiet, and her words sounded even clearer, like an ancient bronze bell, striking his heart heavily, one strike after another.

"But now I feel that marrying you is not good at all, and my life is getting worse and worse."
