Chapter 766: Chapter 765: Knocking on the Door to Collect Debts

West Suburb old residential area, not far from Hu Yong’s house, a laundromat.

Hu Yong’s cousin’s wife was sitting in the shop when a man with a sneaky look on his face burst in, filled with outrage.

"How did it go?" the cousin’s wife immediately asked.

"No sign of anyone, knocked on the door, no answer, the neighbors said it seemed like they didn’t come home last night!" said the man angrily, who was in fact Hu Yong’s cousin.

"Didn’t return all night?" The cousin’s wife’s eyes immediately widened, "What are they trying to pull? Thinking about running away? Can you really outrun the temple if you’re a monk? Is he out of his mind?"

The cousin furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, "They can’t run, but to make them cough up thirteen thousand all at once, it might be a little hard."

"Hard? What’s so hard about it!" the cousin’s wife shot back, "It’s hard for them to come up with thirteen thousand in one go, and it’s not hard for us? Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? Do you really want to cover that thirteen thousand yourself?"

"Impossible!" the cousin immediately waved his hand, "I’m just worried that they will deny the debt."

At this point, the cousin seemed a bit guilty and whispered, "Say, if that Zhang Aiyun refuses to admit the debt, what then? After all, I’m the one who accidentally damaged that garment..."

"Shut your mouth!" the cousin’s wife urged anxiously, "If others hear you, that’s thirteen thousand we’re talking about..."

The cousin’s face changed rapidly, and he immediately closed his mouth.

The cousin’s wife took a deep breath and said in a firm voice, "She can’t deny it even if she wants to. I’ll insist it was damaged during her wash, and since there are no witnesses, what can she do? And besides, that cousin of yours is a complete pushover, no need to fear them!"

The cousin slowly nodded, a trace of a cold smile flashing in his eyes, "Having them compensate the thirteen thousand, plus we can take the opportunity to dock her salary for the month, killing two birds with one stone indeed!"

"Exactly!" the cousin’s wife said with a smug face, sneered, and added, "What are you waiting for? Go on, go watch at the base of their apartment building. The moment they get back, I’ll go demand the money, and we can prevent them from running off!"

"All right!" the cousin ran out excitedly.

Arriving downstairs of Hu Yong’s apartment, the cousin just happened to see a woman knocking on Hu Yong’s door. Surprised, he approached and asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"I’m Hu Xiaojie’s school teacher!" the woman replied directly.

"A teacher?" the cousin asked in surprise, "What’s a teacher doing here?"

The woman replied indignantly, "Hu Xiaojie has missed two months of school fees, doesn’t participate in any activities, and has been skipping classes for the past few days. The principal tore into me, I’m here to collect the tuition fees from his family!"

The cousin was taken aback – debt collectors everywhere, huh?

"Do you know this family?" the woman inquired, frowning.

"How could I, no clue!" the cousin said with an immediate smile.

The woman spat, "I’ve never seen such shameless people, owing kindergarten fees. Not participating in any activities, why even attend kindergarten? Might as well educate at home!"

"Yeah, yeah," the cousin chimed in on the side, without any intention of speaking up for his cousin.

"I simply don’t believe they would move over these two months of tuition," the woman sat down angrily at the side and said indignantly, "I’m going to wait right here until they come back today!"

"This is going to be entertaining," the cousin muttered with a snicker, sitting opposite the woman and waiting.

It wasn’t long before the sound of footsteps came from the stairwell, and Hu Yong’s family of three returned.

Last night, after they left Wanhu Manor, Su Yang and Hu Yong, not having had their fill, went on to drink in the city.

Zhang Aiyun and Xiao Jie spent their first night in a five-star hotel presidential suite, while Su Yang and Hu Yong drank until dawn, calling it quits only when Hu Yong was too drunk to get up.

So, they didn’t return all night and only came back this morning.

Upon seeing Hu Yong, the cousin’s eyes lit up. He dashed forward and bellowed, "Hu Yong, you have the nerve to come back? I thought you had run off, too scared to return. What, did you forget to pack some things and plan to sneak back to collect the rest when no one was looking?"

Hearing the commotion, the woman quickly ran over and glared, saying, "Hu Yong? Are you Hu Xiaojie’s parents? You really made me work to find you. You owe two months’ fees, totaling one thousand seven hundred yuan. Can you even pay it at all? Does your kid’s school have to chase after you for tuition?"

Hu Yong, already confused, was struck dumb by the duo’s questioning.

Zhang Aiyun, who hadn’t drunk, was clear-headed and much more confident now. She stepped forward and said, "Teacher, we’ll give you the school money in a moment. I’m really sorry to have made you come here personally!"

"There’s no need for such politeness, I definitely had to come in person," the woman said with an icy face. "I’m here not just to collect tuition, but also to inform you. From today on, your son doesn’t need to come to our kindergarten anymore."

"What?" Zhang Aiyun was dumbstruck, pleading, "Why? I... I’ll pay the tuition right away, and we won’t be overdue again!"

"Is it enough just not to owe tuition?" The woman glared. "Our school is a high-end kindergarten with very high standards. Every child who studies here has good manners. Your son not only owes tuition but doesn’t participate in any activities; he doesn’t fit in with our educational philosophy at all. How can we continue to keep such a person in our kindergarten? It’s simply an insult to our school!"

Zhang Aiyun was speechless. It wasn’t that she didn’t want her son to participate in those activities; it’s just that they were too expensive.

Actually, she understood that these so-called activities were just the school’s way of making money. Each activity, costing a few thousand at the least and tens of thousands at the most, the school would take a large cut. Their family’s financial situation didn’t allow them to participate in these activities.

Meanwhile, Hu Yong’s cousin moved closer, sneering, "Let’s not hurry everyone. I’ve got an interruption, Yong Zi. Let’s put the tuition aside for now and deal with my matter first. Your wife damaged someone’s clothes in the wash, a thirteen thousand yuan piece. You’ll have to compensate for that!"

Immediately, the woman became anxious, "Hey, how can you do this? Can’t you respect who came first? Didn’t you see that I arrived first? If anyone should be dealt with, it should be my issue!"

"You came first? I was here yesterday; do you think you came before me?" the cousin retorted with wide eyes.

"How can a man fight with a woman like this?" The two began to argue, creating a commotion at the entrance as they clamored to demand money from Hu Yong.

By this time, many of the upstairs and downstairs doors had opened, and a crowd of onlookers had gathered. They occasionally laughed and made jokes, clearly entertained by Hu Yong’s family’s misfortune, and some even occasionally made mocking remarks, making the scene extremely chaotic.
