Tokyo: Starting with taking on his wife's debts

In that case, even if they come back, something else will happen.

At that moment, Riko suddenly hugged Shiraishi Hitomi from behind, causing Shiraishi Hitomi to pause. Funakawa Yoshiko also reacted instantly, grabbing the wet blanket from the bed and covering Shiraishi Hitomi with it.

Then, through the thick blanket, she mustered all her strength and pushed against Shiraishi Hitomi's stomach.

With two soft gasps, Hitomi Shiraishi and Riko tripped over the edge of the bed next to them and fell down on it together.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Funakawa Yoshiko jumped up and straddled them, straddling their bodies with her legs spread apart. She gripped the blanket tightly with both hands, wrapping them up together, leaving only their heads sticking out.

Riko and Hitomi Shiraishi immediately blushed.

"Still want to hit me?" Funakawa Yoshiko said smugly. Because it was a bunk bed and quite low, she leaned down and put her face close to Shiraishi Hitomi and Riko's flushed faces. She freed one hand and stroked Riko's face down her neck, then slid it further in, saying, "When I was fighting, you guys were... Ouch! Don't tear my clothes!"

Yoshiko Funakawa was quick; it wasn't until she had straddled Riko and Hitomi Shiraishi that Chieko reacted.

She grabbed Funakawa Yoshiko's shoulder and collar. The collar of the kimono was very loose, and with just a tug, her snow-white shoulder was revealed, along with more than half of the curve below her collarbone.

Funakawa Yoshiko was worried that her clothes would come undone, so she had to lean to the side.

After she was pulled down.

Chieko, imitating Funakawa Yoshiko, jumped onto the bed and straddled Funakawa Yoshiko, whose clothes were open at the chest. She turned around and shouted, "Misako-chan, come help! I can't hold her down any longer..."

Misako stood rooted to the spot, her face flushed red, her lips pressed tightly together, her eyes darting upwards. "How can I help? How can I help? What should I do..." she said.

She didn't want to fight, and besides, Funakawa Yoshiko was showing too much skin. Chieko's body was so weak, how could she be so violent? Wasn't she afraid of angering her?

She regretted coming along...

"Ouch!"

Before Chieko could give any instructions, she was overturned by Funakawa Yoshiko.

Funakawa Yoshiko was indeed furious. She had never had her clothes torn before in her life. Chieko, with her small frame, was simply humiliating herself.

Too lazy to pay attention to Shiraishi Hitomi and Riko anymore, she pressed Chieko down, first pulling off the white apron in front of her, then grabbing the neckline of her green skirt and ripping it hard, with a "rip" sound, even the buttons popped off to the ground.

"Ah!!" Chieko's face turned bright red, and she screamed, clutching her chest.

She was wearing a strip of fabric underwear in the Ezaki style, which she had modified from purple lace.

Funakawa Yoshiko froze, her face flushed red, and she swallowed hard, saying, "You're so funny... Ouch!"

Before she could finish speaking, Shiraishi Hitomi broke free from under the covers, flipped Funakawa Yoshiko over, and tore at her clothes as well.

Formal kimonos, due to their complex and thick layers, are generally worn without an undergarment.

Hitomi Shiraishi stood up for Chieko, saying, "I'm better than you. You have nothing."

“It shouldn’t have been there in the first place…” Funakawa Yoshiko was clearly not buying it. Ignoring the open collar, she grabbed Shiraishi Hitomi’s green dress by the collar and ripped it off along with her white apron…

Another scream erupted as the three of them wrestled together, pulling hair and tearing clothes... Riko had just crawled out from under the covers when she was caught in the crossfire.

Funakawa Yoshiko handled the three of them single-handedly, holding her own in no way.

Of course, even with Chieko and Shiraishi Hitomi on full defensive, Riko still couldn't stop them.

"Misako-chan, come help... Ouch! Don't grab there..." Even though Chieko was being given special attention by Funakawa Yoshiko, she still didn't forget to ask for help.

Misako's face was so red it was almost bleeding; she couldn't bear to look at her, she couldn't bear to look...

"Um...you guys play here, I'll keep watch over the door for you, no, I won't let anyone else in..."

As Misako spoke, she lowered her head and left the room, quickly closing the door behind her. Looking down, she saw Chieko's purple bra hanging on her shoes. Her face scrunched up in frustration. With a conflicted expression, she opened the door a crack and tossed it back inside.

in the room.

Funakawa Yoshiko took on three opponents, all of whom were weaklings. Riko was completely ineffective and kept shrinking into the corner with her arms crossed.

Chieko had no strength at all and was completely overpowered.

Only Shiraishi Hitomi is somewhat presentable, but she lacks experience.

She was very pleased with herself, able to manipulate such a rabble at will.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! Who's on their period? Who's on their period..."

Chieko peeled the sanitary napkin off her head, held it up, and shouted anxiously.

Because it was so chaotic, with white everywhere she looked, she didn't know who it was. She wiped her head and found her hand covered in blood; it was terrifying.

No matter who it is, strenuous exercise at this time is very harmful to the body...

After all, it was just to let Funakawa Yoshiko know that Riko was the most worthy of support and that she shouldn't be bullied.

The moment Funakawa Yoshiko subdued Shiraishi Hitomi, her smug expression froze.

Looking around, everyone had some blood on them... especially Chieko, whose face was covered in it.

...How embarrassing.

It's all because Xiuming is so good at treating menstrual cramps that I didn't notice anything amiss, and I still don't feel any pain.

"Ouch~ my tummy hurts so much... it hurts so much..."

Funakawa Yoshiko had to pretend to have a stomachache to cover up her shame.

Chapter 177 Umezu Midori, you're a ruthless person!

As June approaches, the afternoon sun makes one feel drowsy.

The atmosphere inside the taxi was somewhat oppressive.

Of course, the whole road seemed dull and lifeless.

"Mr. Shiraishi, please close the car windows and turn on the air conditioning!"

Xiuming couldn't stand the sun shining on his face, because he was still wearing a doctor's white coat. He only squinted for a short while before he developed a sticky layer of sweat.

“We’ll be home soon. Once the air conditioning cools down, you can get out of the car, it’ll be like it’s not even on,” Shiraishi Ichiro said, reluctant to turn on the air conditioning, while turning on the car radio. “Listen to the radio to calm down. We ordinary folks aren’t like rich people like you who know how to enjoy life, hmph.”

Ichiro Shiraishi recalled the golf membership card that Hideaki had given him before, which was utterly a rip-off.

He spent three months' salary for a meaningless sense of pride, and got nothing in return... The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and while driving, he couldn't help but slap himself across the face.

“Mr. Shiraishi, it’s not that serious,” Hideaki was startled awake by the loud slap. “If you don’t want to turn it on, you don’t have to hit yourself. We have a pretty good relationship, and I’m not going to complain about you over something as trivial as an air conditioner.”

Ichiro Shiraishi twisted his face and didn't respond.

Oh well, the taxi is almost at Nishi-Shinjuku Central Park anyway, I can just bear with it.

The car radio played the strained sound of Broadcasting Tokyo, followed by a pleasant female announcer's voice: "This is Broadcasting Tokyo, afternoon news flash. Next up is an urgent financial news report from Sapporo."

Then, the radio switched to what appeared to be a reporter's on-site report, with faint police sirens in the background.

The reporter spoke rapidly: "I'm currently reporting from Sapporo, Hokkaido. Today, a major financial scandal has erupted in the local financial sector: Matsuno Bank's Sapporo branch manager, Ezaki Sukeru, was formally arrested this afternoon by the Sapporo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Department on suspicion of systematically misappropriating depositors' funds over a long period and violently evicting depositors who came to the bank to inquire. Preliminary investigations indicate that the amount involved may be as high as several billion yen, and more than 100 depositors have been affected. It is understood that this incident follows last month's revelation that Fuji Bank was linked to illegal funds from the Yamaguchi-gumi..."

Recently, Japan's financial sector has been rife with scandals, with several large securities firms and banks being implicated in malicious incidents such as covering up customer losses and colluding with organized crime. The credibility of Japan's financial system has also collapsed rapidly along with the bursting of the bubble economy.

Hideaki perked up; Yoko Ezaki's father was the manager of Matsuba Bank's Sapporo branch in Hokkaido.

Has Ezaki's father been exposed?

She's at sea right now, she probably doesn't know yet, right?

Billions of yen, which is equivalent to my morning's income, I won't help him. He's destined to go to jail.

Should we send some good news to Ezaki?

The reporter's voice continued on the radio when suddenly an elderly man's cursing voice cut in the background: "Ezaki Kairyu, you bastard! You dog, go to hell! Don't pull me away! I'm reporting him for selling 'financing-type variable insurance,' give me back my hard-earned money..."

Hideaki was startled again; why did it sound like Riko's father's roar?

That makes sense. They're both in Hokkaido. Ezaki Sekiryu is the branch manager. If my father-in-law deposits his money in Matsuba Bank, he'll definitely get ripped off by him...

My father-in-law has heart disease; I hope he doesn't suddenly pass away.

After a series of shouts and shooings over the radio, the reporter continued: "Currently, the Sapporo District Public Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation, and President Ezaki faces multiple charges, including abuse of power, embezzlement, obstruction of power, and ties to organized crime. Matsuba Bank's headquarters has not yet commented on the matter, only stating that it will 'fully cooperate with the investigation'..."

The afternoon news has finished.

"Mr. Shiraishi, don't turn. Stop at the entrance of the community. I'm going home, not to the supermarket."

The taxi came to a smooth stop next to the expensive imported supermarket next to the gate of the residential area. The supermarket was almost empty, and the cashiers were all eating sunflower seeds and watching TV.

I remember there were quite a few customers last week, but in just a few days, their spending power has plummeted. It's probably because of Riko's "Miyamoto 100 Yen Supermarket" that they've been squeezed out.

Ichiro Shiraishi glanced sideways at Hideaki, who was smiling, took the bank card he was offered, swiped it for 21,000 yen, and dashed off to Riko's supermarket.

Hideaki was indeed a little worried about his father-in-law's heart condition, after all, he was Riko's biological father.

However, having Riko call home directly might make her worry, so she decided to call and ask herself. Since she didn't remember her father-in-law's landline number, she had to go home and look it up in the phone book.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard the telephone ringing loudly.

There were also several missed calls, all from the same number.

It just so happens that it's the phone number of Riko's mother, who is also Hideaki's mother-in-law, Mrs. Shizuka.

Her voice was similar to Riko's, gentle, but more mature and magnetic.

However, she seemed somewhat flustered and even had a sob in her voice. She said that the police had called her and asked her to go to the police station to pick up someone. Her husband, the ringleader, had gathered villagers to storm the bank, which triggered a riot.

Mrs. Shizuka is packing her things and preparing money...

After questioning, Xiuming was 99.99% certain that the person yelling on the radio was his father-in-law, and that he was the ringleader.

Mrs. Shizuka, the mother-in-law, said that her father-in-law was supposed to take the passbook to the bank to withdraw money.

To offset the so-called inheritance tax, the father-in-law mortgaged the family property to the bank and used the loan to buy a "financing variable insurance policy." However, after calculation, the elderly couple discovered that the insurance benefits would arrive a month later than the bank loan interest, meaning they would have to pay the interest in advance.

My father-in-law took his savings book to the bank to check the operating income of the hot spring hotel, wanting to see if it was enough to pay the interest.

After all, business at hot spring hotels hasn't been very good this year.

Then, for some reason, he shoved a shoe into the mouth of the bank president, Ezaki Kairyu, smashed the bank's glass with a brick, and finally used a wooden stick to violently hit the head of the insurance agent who had sold him the insurance.

The salesperson simply lay down on the ground and refused to get up, demanding compensation...

Finally, both the father-in-law and the salesman were taken to the police station for mediation.

As my mother-in-law spoke, she started crying on the phone: "Shuming-kun, please think of something, what should I do..."

Riko is the elderly couple's only daughter. Although the couple has siblings, they are all from ordinary families and cannot afford to borrow money.

There isn't much money at home right now; it's all just small change.
