A life of success begins with being a landlord.

That bastard actually called Jin Sangzi!

I was incredibly frustrated: "It's that fat bastard Kuai Dafa. He used to live in Building 27, but I kicked him out, and he called to yell at me."

Qian Yuhuai thought for a moment: "That fat guy from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the one who used to ride a big motorcycle?"

"Yes, that's him." I nodded. "From now on, if you get a call from this fatso, just hang up and ignore him."

Qian Yuhuai nodded: "Understood."

As we were talking, Xu Erbao, the manager of the arcade, came to find me again.

I already knew what had happened, so I asked, "Did someone call and yell at me?"

"Brother Zu, who did you offend?" Xu Erbao chuckled dryly, "That guy insulted you really badly..."

I was too exhausted to explain anymore, so I waved my hand and said, "From now on, just hang up on calls like this!"

I don't believe Kuai Dafa would keep making calls, because phone calls are expensive these days!

Moreover, calling from Gangzhou to Dongguan is considered a long-distance call.

Kuai Dafa spends hundreds of dollars a day on phone calls like that, it's easy for him to squander it all!

Feeling down, I went to Yinmeiduo again and told the receptionist to hang up immediately if I received any harassing calls.

I had just sat down at Yinmeiduo and taken a sip of tea when the old squad leader came to find me again.

I waved my hand and led the old squad leader out of Yinmeido: "What's up? Is something the matter?"

"Brother Zu, Kuai Da is making random phone calls, calling the shops in buildings 27 and 26, making up stories to insult you," the old squad leader said in a low voice.

"Okay, let's go check out the storefronts." I sighed and led the old squad leader toward Building 27.

The first floor of both buildings consists of storefronts, most of which display their phone numbers on the storefront signs.

Therefore, Kuai Dafa had planned this all along and copied down these phone numbers!

The female owner of the clothing store downstairs in Building 26 was eating with a bowl in her hand. When she saw me, she rolled her eyes.

"Brother Zu, when did you have a mentally challenged son outside of your marriage? A woman just called you, saying she's forty years old, that you raped her, and that she had a mentally challenged son. Now she's asking you for child support..."

"A woman? Not a man?" I was surprised.

I never expected a woman to contact me!

"It was a woman." The female shop owner shook her head. "She said that you dragged her into the underpass of a bridge on a rainy day..."

"I understand, stop talking." I quickly waved my hand. "From now on, just hang up on these kinds of calls!"

The female boss chuckled: "Why hang up? There's no business anyway. Listening to that woman gossip about you is quite entertaining. Eating while on the phone, it's great!"

leave!

You're making fun of my gossip while you eat!

The people of Gangdong have such unique tastes! Why don't you just catch a couple of aliens and make soup? Why are you listening to my gossip?

The plump woman across the street was also calling out to me, "Brother Zu, come here for a second."

I nodded and walked over with the old squad leader: "Sister-in-law, is there something you need?"

The plump woman wiped her hands on her apron, pulled me into the house, and whispered, "That fat bastard Kuai Dafa called and said some really nasty things."

I asked casually, "What did he say?"

He said you…

The plump woman suddenly blushed and stammered shyly, "He said you peeked at me while I was showering, and while you were watching me showering, you were also... being a pervert, doing those shameless little things."

Holy crap, this is just incredible!

I swear to God, I respect Sister-in-law Pang as much as I would my own great-aunt!

If I have even the slightest improper thoughts about Fatty Sister-in-law, then I am worse than a pig or a dog, and may be struck by lightning!

The plump woman looked me over, noticing my unusual expression, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Zu, you wouldn't really...?"

"No, no, no, Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense! I never peeked at you while you were showering!"

I jumped in surprise and quickly interrupted Fatty's sister-in-law: "You know who Kuai Dafu is, Fatty. What he says is like farting; don't believe a word he says. Besides, I don't even know where you're taking a bath, how could I have seen you?"

The plump woman pointed to the room: "Sometimes I shower in this room. Once, I did see someone sneaking around outside the window, peeking out..."

"Sister-in-law, stop talking." I said, half-laughing, half-crying. "Anyway, it wasn't me. I didn't peek at you. If I did, may I fall flat on my face right now!"

In Gangdong, "puk gai" means to be left dead in the street.

I've sworn this much, surely that's enough?

The plump woman finally let me go, laughing, "It's good that it wasn't you. I was just asking."

I sighed.

It seems that Sister-in-law Pang still has doubts about me.

Otherwise, why ask me?

With tears in my eyes, I bid farewell to Sister-in-law Pang and wandered the streets of Sanlichuan late at night with my old squad leader.

The old squad leader comforted me, "Brother Zu, just change your phone number tomorrow, and everything will be fine."

I nodded and turned on my phone.

There are several missed calls, all from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

I waited anxiously until 3 a.m., when Jin Sangzi closed for the day, before finally driving back to Hongxing Village.

I had just finished showering and was about to go to sleep when the phone rang again.

Kuai Dafa said with a grin, "Good son, get up and pee, don't wet the bed."

I didn't even have the energy to curse Kuai Dafa anymore, and sighed, "Thanks, I just peed."

I really admire this kid; he's got boundless energy.

"My son is so good." Kuai Dafa chuckled. "Then I'll give Hu Xiaoli another beating so she'll get up and pee."

"Don't call her, her phone is off." I lit a cigarette to scare Kuai Dafa.

"Kuai Dafa, I've already sent someone to Gangzhou. Here's your phone number for Yuexiu District; they'll be able to find you soon. Also, you're planning to take the train back, right? I've made arrangements at the train station. As soon as you show up, someone will take good care of you."

"Wang Yaozu, you think you can scare me?" Kuai Dafa sneered. "I don't believe you. Go ahead and try to catch me in Gangzhou."

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see. We'll meet again soon."

Don't give me that crap, I'm not afraid.

Kuai Dafa snorted: "Wang Yaozu, if you want to live a peaceful life, you'd better compensate me for my losses. As long as the money is in my account, I'll let you and Hu Xiaoli go."

"Okay, give me your account number first, and I'll transfer the money to you within three days."

"Trying to fool me? I'm the granddaddy of liars!" Kuai Dafa laughed heartily.

"Here's the deal. I'll give you my account number. Transfer 10,000 yuan to me first as a deposit. Once that 10,000 yuan arrives, I'll stop the harassment and give you two days to raise the remaining amount. Otherwise, starting tomorrow at noon, I'll hire a hundred people to begin the real phone harassment!"

I hung up the phone.

Kuai Dafa is too shrewd; I can't fool him.

He asked me to give him 10,000 yuan first, but I couldn't give it to him!

To ensure I could sleep peacefully, I turned off my phone.

Ah Xiang knew I was in a bad mood, so she quietly stayed with me, giving me soft, comforting warmth.

I finally woke up at eight o'clock the next morning.

Today is a sunny day with bright sunshine and clean air.

Sister Li and Erxia were exercising in the yard, jumping rope and playing shuttlecock.

"Little brother, did you sleep well last night?" Sister Li asked me.

"I'm fine, how about you?"

"Don't even mention it. I turned on my phone in the middle of the night and got a call from Kuai Dafa telling me to get up and pee... so I wouldn't wet the bed." Sister Li shook her head.

"Did you pee?" I asked.

"I'll pee on you..." Sister Li held back her swear words again and slapped me: "Hurry up and eat breakfast, then go change your phone number."

I nodded and quickly washed up.

While I was washing up, a man wearing a baseball cap and all black clothes came to our courtyard gate and knocked loudly on the door.
