Zongman: Nohara Shinnosuke is about to be chopped off

"You two, do you know why I called you out?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka folded her arms across her chest and looked seriously at Shin-chan and Rikka Takanashi in front of her.

"Ah Jing, are you going to give me a prize for breaking the world record?"

"Breaking the world record? I don't know what you're talking about, but it has nothing to do with this."

"Is that a reward for not being late for three consecutive days?"

"As a student, isn't it the most basic thing for you to not be late for school? Do you need a reward for that?"

"Is that..."

"Stop, Xiaoxin, shut up. Rikka, guess why I asked you to come out?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't bear to listen to Shin-chan's speculation any more, so she covered his mouth with her hand and manually "muted" him.

Otherwise this guy won’t be able to guess the point all day.

"It should be about the final exam, right?"

Rikka Takanashi blinked and said uncertainly.

After all, at this point in time, she couldn't think of any other possibility for calling her and Xiaoxin out alone except for academic performance issues.

"Well, that's good, Rikka, you are still very aware, it's just that your grades are a problem."

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded with satisfaction, agreeing with Rikka's answer.

"Rikka, your language grades in Chinese and English are excellent, and you are among the best in the class. But I hope you can put these subjects aside for a while and spend more time on math in the next few days."

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Rikka Takanashi and gave sincere advice.

Although Shizuka Hiratsuka is a Chinese language teacher, as the class teacher, she hopes that Rikka Takanashi can develop in a balanced way and not be too biased towards one subject.

"Ah Jing, what about me? What about me?"

Shin-chan looked at Rikka who was being praised, and then looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with anticipation.

"You? You still have the nerve to say that. Didn't you rely on luck in your last Chinese language test? You got all the multiple-choice questions right, but didn't get any points for the other questions. What do you want me to say about you?"

When Shizuka Hiratsuka heard what Shin-chan said, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Hey, Jing, this is easy. Why don't you just change all the questions into multiple-choice questions? Then maybe I can get a full score of 400."

Shin-chan scratched his head, grinned foolishly and began to imagine himself getting full marks in the exam.

"How is that possible? During the days before the exam, you should study Chinese books carefully. I will call Mei-ya-jie in a moment and ask her to keep an eye on you. Don't run around anywhere."

Shizuka Hiratsuka stretched out her finger and tapped his head gently.

"Hmm? Kato, what's up?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka finished explaining the grades and was about to let the two go back to the classroom.

When I turned my head, I found Kato Megumi standing in the corner.

"Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka... there's a call for Shin-chan."

Seeing that her "invisibility" was discovered, Kato Megumi didn't know whether she should be happy or not, and walked out with a helpless look on her face.

"Are you looking for Shin-chan too?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka raised her eyebrows in confusion.

Xiaoxin, why are so many people looking for this guy suddenly?

"Alas, there is nothing I can do, Jing. You know, I am a very busy person. Many people come to me to discuss important matters every day."

Shin-chan sighed in a pretentious manner.

Then, he took the phone from Kato Megumi, glanced at it casually, and said to Kato Megumi:

"Okay, Ah Hui, you go back first, I'll call him back later."

"Weird..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Shin-chan who sent Kato Megumi away with a strange look on her face.

I always feel like something is wrong with him today.

"You two remember what I said. Don't go out and play around these days. Go home and review your lessons."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was still worried and emphasized it again.

Although Rikka is a little bit immature, she is still obedient. She is mainly worried about Shin-chan.

.........

In the afternoon, in front of Nohara’s house.

"Meiya, you're back!"

While taking off his shoes, Xiaoxin shouted into the house at the top of his voice.

"Hi, Xiaokui, long time no see."

"Hey, bro, how are you?"

As soon as they entered the living room, the brother and sister greeted each other tacitly.

"Xiao Xin is back, right? Come to the kitchen, I want to tell you something."

Nohara Misae, who was busy cooking dinner in the kitchen, heard Shin-chan's voice, turned sideways and called him over.

"What? Honey, if you want to buy something, go buy it yourself."

As Xiaoxin spoke, he opened the refrigerator familiarly and looked for some juice.

"The first rule I agreed with mom is that you are not allowed to talk like your dad."

Nohara Misae raised her hand and knocked a few chestnuts on Shin-chan's head "dong dong dong" as a warning.

"I have something serious to tell you. Mr. Hiratsuka called me and told me everything. You have final exams soon, so you are not allowed to go out these few days."

Nohara Misae warned Shin-chan with a serious face.

She gets along very well with Shizuka Hiratsuka, and she usually takes good care of Shin-chan. She doesn't want to make things difficult for her because of Shin-chan's grades.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Xiaoxin nodded helplessly and agreed while drinking the juice.

He really didn't expect that Ajing was serious this time and actually called home and asked Meiya to look after him.

It seems that I really need to study hard this time.

"By the way, Xiaoxin, don't go, don't go. I want to ask you something."

When Nohara Misae saw that Shin-chan was about to go to the living room to watch TV, she quickly waved her hand and called him back.

"Xiao Xin, have any of your classmates bought prepaid phone cards?"

"Prepaid phone cards? What are those?"

Xiao Xin looked puzzled, put his hand on his chin and asked,

"It's a special phone card that's much cheaper than on the market. For 1000 yen, you can make free calls for a whole year."

Nohara Misae patiently explained to Shin-chan.

"Cheaper than the market price? That sounds weird."

Xiaoxin suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. This sounded like a standard scam tactic.

"Xiao Xin, what do you think? Phone cards are quite expensive nowadays. Will this thing have a big market? Can we make some money from this and invest in the future?"

Nohara Misae became more and more excited as she spoke, and she clapped her hands as if she had already seen the scene of financial freedom.

"Wait, Meiya, who told you these words?"

Shin-chan quickly interrupted Nohara Miya, the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

Why do words like "investing in the future" appear so often? There must be something wrong.

"It was around 2 o'clock in the afternoon when a salesman came to my door to sell phone cards. I thought what he said made sense, so I listened to him."

Nohara Misae frowned slightly and spoke as she recalled.

"I heard that many people have become rich quickly by doing this. The salesman sold five phone cards to me and the aunt next door. I will sell these five cards to other people. The more people invest and join, the more money I can make. How about it, isn't it a good opportunity to make a fortune?"

Nohara Misae enthusiastically tells Shin-chan about her "business empire" plan.

It seemed that it would not be long before the Nohara family would be able to achieve financial freedom.

"Um……"

Shin-chan listened to Miya's words and fell into deep thought.

He was sure that Meiya was not just being deceived, she was really being deceived.

The only thing that is bothering Shin-chan now is how to tell Mi-ya this cruel truth without causing her to lose control of her emotions.

"Xiao Kui, come quickly."

Xiaoxin thought that it would be better to discuss such an important matter with someone, so he called his sister Xiaokui over.

"What's wrong, bro?"

Xiaokui turned off the TV and walked into the kitchen with a puzzled look on her face.

"It's like this, Meiya, she..."

Shin-chan told Aoi exactly what Nohara Misae had just said to him.

"This...isn't this a standard pyramid scam? Doesn't mom usually accept the anti-fraud propaganda on the street?"

After hearing this, Xiaokui quickly pulled Xiaoxin to the corner of the kitchen and whispered.

She remembered that a few days ago after school, she saw people on the street promoting anti-fraud knowledge. How come her mother fell for it today?

It’s still such a typical pyramid scam. I learned about it in class when I was a primary school student, but my mother didn’t even notice it.

"That is to say, the question now is what should we do? Should we tell Meiya the truth?"

Xiaoxin spread his hands helplessly.

With Miya's personality, it wouldn't matter if she spent the 5000 yen on food and clothes, but if she knew she was cheated, she would be so angry that she wouldn't be able to sleep for several days.

"Oh, I think I should tell my mom that every failure is a lesson for her. What if she gets cheated this time and gets cheated again next time? Even if my dad has a high salary now, he can't just throw it away like that."

Xiao Kui shook her head firmly and decided to tell her mother the truth.

"Okay, Meiya, come here quickly. Don't cook anymore. You won't be in the mood to eat later anyway..."
