Zongman: Nohara Shinnosuke is about to be chopped off

"I was scammed, how is that possible?"

Nohara Misae, who was sitting on the tatami, stared at Shin-chan with an incredible look on her face.

Xiao Kui was speechless, rolled her eyes, and said unhappily:

"How is it impossible, Mom? Don't you see that this is a standard pyramid scheme?"

I didn’t expect that even at this point, my mother still hadn’t realized that she had been cheated.

Nohara Misae stood up, gesturing with her hands in the air, and hurriedly explained:

"What does this have to do with pyramid schemes? Okay, let me explain it to you again. The salesman hired me and the aunt next door, and we each recruited five people. We got a commission for each person we recruited. This is not a pyramid scheme, it's just an ordinary money-making plan."

As she spoke, she found a pencil and a piece of paper from the wooden cabinet beside her, and quickly drew a few simple drawings on it.

Shin-chan silently took the pencil from Nohara Misae and drew a three-level pyramid on the paper.

He first wrote "salesman" on the top layer, then wrote the names of Nohara Misae and the aunt next door on the second layer, and drew a few question marks on the bottom layer.

Then, Xiaoxin pointed at the picture on the paper, looked at Nohara Meisai seriously, and said, "This is called a pyramid."

Nohara Misae's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character, staring at the pyramid drawn by Shin-chan, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go next door."

.........

In the evening, Nohara Hiroshi, with a smile on his face and humming a little tune, pushed open the door and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Hi, my dear family, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Having signed another big deal today, Hiroshi Nohara can't wait to share this joy with his family.

But the room was silent, no one answered.

Nohara Hiroshi was changing his shoes while wondering: "Wife, Shin-chan, Aoi, you guys are not at home..."

When he walked into the living room, he saw the whole family sitting on the tatami. Nohara Misae was lying on the table, with Shin-chan and Aoi standing beside her.

Nohara Hiroshi was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you? Meiya, is she feeling unwell?"

"Hi, Guangzhi, you're back. There's one bad news and one worse news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Shin-chan waved and greeted Nohara Hiroshi.

Nohara Hiroshi's mouth twitched, and he looked at Xiaoxin helplessly: "Isn't it usually good news and bad news? Why are both bad news for me? Okay, let's talk about the less bad one first."

"That means Meiya hasn't prepared dinner yet. We have to wait a while before we can eat."

Shin-chan shrugged.

Nohara Hiroshi waved his hands nonchalantly and said with a smile: "It's okay, if you didn't do it, then you didn't do it. At worst, we can go out to eat."

Now that he has been promoted and received a raise, his salary has increased several times, so he doesn't care about this little money for food at all.

"What's the worse news?" Nohara Hiroshi asked.

"Woo woo woo~ The worse news is that I was scammed."

Nohara Misae raised her head and tears started streaming down her face. She pounded the table in anger.

"Ah, wife, how much money have you been cheated out of?"

When Nohara Hiroshi heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he instantly became nervous.

The news has been full of stories about fraud recently. Many people have been defrauded and lost everything, including their homes.

"Woohoo...5000."

Nohara Misae sobbed and wiped the tears from her face with her hands.

"5000? There's no ten thousand after five thousand, right?"

Nohara Hiroshi swallowed, his voice trembling with nervousness.

"Huh? Is our family so rich? Can we afford 5000 million?"

Xiao Kui blinked her big eyes with a look of disbelief.

If her family really has 5000 million, why would she go to school? She could just learn from Aunt Mengya. Hehe ~ how nice it would be to just lie at home every day.

Xiaokui held up her face and smiled foolishly, already immersed in the wonderful "retirement life".

"It's just 5000 yen, husband. How can we have 5000 million yen?"

Nohara Misae took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

It seems that Xiaokui's dream of retirement has been ruined before it even began...

"It does seem to be."

Nohara Hiroshi stretched out his hand and counted on his fingers.

He is now a minister, and his basic salary is about 120 million yen a month. If he wants to save 5000 million yen, it will take his family of four nearly four years without eating or drinking.

But he has been minister for less than a year.

"I was so angry. I was so angry that I wanted to earn some money for my family after being a housewife for more than ten years, but I didn't expect to be cheated. If I meet that liar again in the future, I will twist his head off!"

Nohara Misae gritted her teeth and said viciously, her eyes becoming red again.

"It's okay, honey, don't cry, don't cry, it's just 5000 yen, there's no need to be so angry."

Nohara Hiroshi quickly took out a tissue, wiped Nohara Misae's tears, and comforted her softly.

In fact, he didn't blame Meiya at all. Meiya married him early and took care of the household and the children. How could he be angry with Meiya over such a small amount of money?

"Yes, Meiya, don't be sad. If you encounter something like this next time, just call me and Xiaokui in advance."

Xiaoxin recalled that when he was a child, there were often salesmen coming to his door, and Meiya was always easily fooled. It was he who appeared in time every time to prevent Meiya from spending money indiscriminately.

"Let's not talk about these bad things. Just be more careful next time. Let's think about what to eat tonight."

Nohara Hiroshi didn't want Misae to continue to be immersed in the bad mood of being deceived, so he quickly changed the subject.

"I'm not going to eat anymore. You guys can go out to eat. I want to lose weight and save these 5000 yen."

Just as Shin-chan said, Misaya was so angry that she didn't even want to eat.

Nohara Hiroshi just opened his mouth to persuade her,

"Ding ding ding", the landline phone in the entrance hall suddenly rang.

"Let's not talk about it for now. I'm going to answer the phone."

Nohara Misae stood up and walked quickly towards the entrance.

"Xiao Xin, Xiao Kui, what's going on? Tell me quickly, both of you."

Nohara Hiroshi quickly waved and called the brother and sister to his side.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Meiya crying and knew that she had been cheated out of 5000 yen. He was still confused about what had happened.

"The situation is like this, Meiya..."

Xiao Xin recounted the entire incident in detail.

After hearing this, Nohara Hiroshi couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Phone card fraud? This scam is quite common, but I didn't expect that the aunt next door also fell for it."

He paused, and then warned: "Xiao Xin and Xiao Kui, you two should also persuade Mei Ya and stop her from always thinking about saving money by losing weight."

Normally, when Misae says she wants to lose weight, Nohara Hiroshi is not worried at all because he knows she can't stick to it.

But this time it's different. If Meiya is too angry about being defrauded, she might even starve herself to death, which would be a big trouble.
