The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 132 - 136 Phoenix Man - Such a Creature (18)

The Jiang Family searched for Su Qing with hope for a long time, but they never found her.

Jiang Tao heard a bit of gossip about the Su Family from a slightly friendly small business owner, and only then he learned that Su Qing hadn’t been disowned by the Su Family, but she had lost all the honor of a Lady and had long been driven out of the Su Family.

That old bastard Su Fugui really did it, Jiang Tao hated him to the core.

His resentment towards Su Li grew more intense, too. He used to feel proud, even though he had divorced her, throughout all these years, Su Li had remained unmarried and treated Su Qing exceptionally well, which seemed like ironclad proof of her undying feelings for him. The harsh reality slapped him in the face, shattering all his misplaced pride and self-righteousness.

If she had really cared about him, she wouldn’t have had another man’s child.

Jiang Tao believed he was free to have other women and children, but Su Li, who had been with him, should remain his forever, even if she was his former woman. ƒreewebɳovel.com

But such a straight-man-cancer mentality meant nothing to Su Li. She couldn’t have cared less or even deigned to pay attention to what this man thought.

After getting the news, Jiang Tao, furious, rushed back home, grabbed the IOU, and charged towards the Zheng Family. Since he couldn’t get more in the future, he at least had to secure what he currently had.

When the Jiang couple went to demand their money, Zheng Zhanpeng would definitely not acknowledge it, which naturally turned into a dog-eat-dog hair-pulling mess, much to the complaints of the neighbors. The landlord also issued a final notice—if there were any more disputes and disturbances, they would all be kicked out.

And just by chance, this family was also always behind on rent, truly a headache...

Despite repeated final warnings about the rent, the Jiang couple refused to give up. For two hundred thousand yuan, they did nothing all day but camp outside the Zheng Family’s house.

At the end of his patience, and since Zheng Zhanpeng hadn’t paid this month’s rent, the landlord brought a few people over, packed up their belongings, threw them out the door, and even changed the locks.

Zheng Zhaodi, in tears, called Zheng Zhanpeng, who rushed home as quickly as possible. Recently, with all the drama at home and these petty issues, his bosses at work were starting to have a low opinion of him.

But there was no choice; he had to go home to take care of it. No matter how tough the Zheng Family appeared at home, acting all high and mighty in the countryside, when it came to confronting city folks, they became as meek as dogs.

When evicted by the landlord, the Zheng Family could only cry and whine to their son, cowering with their luggage in the corner outside the door, utterly helpless.

One trouble followed another.

Zheng Zhanpeng hurried back, wearing a smile and trying to coax the landlord into leniency, saying they couldn’t possibly find a good place to live right away.

But the landlord didn’t give face at all, "I originally rented this place to you out of respect for your wife, but now look at what you’ve done to my place..."

"My newly done renovations... I thought you were decent people and would take care of the house. I didn’t expect I was so mistaken."

"I don’t even want the last month’s rent, but I’m not renting to you anymore. Off you go, you’re bad luck..."

The landlord had long grown used to them, worried his house might collapse from so many people crammed in there.

When he went in to check just now, he was nearly infuriated to death.

The beautiful decor was turned into something like a dog’s kennel, and the European-style bathroom had even been partitioned off to raise chickens...

The landlord, remembering the scene he just witnessed, felt his heart and lungs ache. Now, he had no patience left to even look at Zheng Zhanpeng’s damn face.

"Off you go, this isn’t a shelter..."

Zheng Zhanpeng was prideful. He had already lowered himself, but he couldn’t stand this kind of treatment.

"If we have to go, we go... Mom, Dad, check our stuff to see if anything’s missing..."

The landlord watched, dumbfounded, as the man instantly changed his demeanor. Indeed, a man without shame is invincible.

Their worthless junk, why would he covet that???

The finely renovated house that had cost him hundreds of thousands to decorate had been trashed by them, and he hadn’t even planned to ask them for compensation, yet now they were actually preparing to extort him???

Upon hearing Zheng Zhanpeng’s words, the rest of the Zheng Family naturally understood his intentions.

They all started trembling, one claimed her newly bought purse had gone missing, another said her new clothes were torn to shreds...

The landlord just laughed in anger, picked up the phone, and a few minutes later, several burly men with clubs appeared before them.

"Don’t you see where I hang out, daring to extort me, you ignorant fools."

Zheng Zhanpeng, who had always been gentle and looked like an easy-going scholar, didn’t expect the landlord to turn tough, no different from a bandit.

The previously arrogant members of the Zheng Family immediately shrank their necks and smiled as they repeatedly apologized, "It’s all a misunderstanding...."

"Misunderstanding?"

"Yeah, yeah, I must have seen it wrong, my purse is right here, and the clothes are fine too...."

"Just as you say this matter is a misunderstanding, let’s leave it at that." Before the Zheng Family could breathe a sigh of relief, the landlord spoke up again, "Now, let’s discuss the issue of compensation for damaging the house as stipulated in the contract."

Just like that, every member of the Zheng Family was cleaned out, left with empty pockets before the landlord let them go.

Now they had no place to live, dragging a few worthless possessions, they didn’t even have the money to stay at the cheapest inn.

The group sat squatting in a place, their faces etched with misery, which even prompted an ignorant child to throw several hundred-yuan notes in front of them.

"How pitiful this family of beggars are, let’s give them some money for food."

Mistakenly taken for beggars, Shi Erxiu was furious, lashing out at the "little ghost," "You’re the beggar! You blind mutt..."

The child ran away crying.

"What’s going on?" A stout father with a child, holding an ice cream cone, hurried over, and the Zheng Family quivered under his fierce gaze.

"No, nothing... all a misunderstanding..." Zheng Zhanpeng felt that the humiliation of being treated like a lowly person today exceeded all the humiliations he had experienced in more than twenty years.

"Since you’re not beggars, then baby, go get the money back."

The Zheng Family, realizing this, felt a fresh wave of annoyance.

Those were several red notes after all... truly the son of a wealthy family, taking money so lightly...

Shi Erxiu wished she could take back the words she had just screamed.

Her temper made her want to slap herself. Right now, those hundreds of dollars were very important to them who were penniless.

In a rash moment, as the child reached out to take the money back, she slapped the hand away, hurriedly picked up the money from the ground, and stuffed it into her pocket, eyeing the child warily.

The child’s cries shook the heavens once again.

Then, the next second, every member of the Zheng Family got beaten up by the child’s father, noses bruised and faces swollen, and the money Shi Erxiu had tucked away was snatched back by the child’s mother.

Zheng Zhaodi and Zheng Qiudi’s hair was pulled out in clumps during the scuffle, leaving bald patches.

"Ah... I can’t stand this, I’m going back to the countryside right now."
