This is a well-known story in private car circles.In the United States or somewhere else, a driver came back from a negotiation and was cornered by a fuel tank truck while driving home. He and the car almost died.No car knows what kind of person the tanker driver is, and he calmly kills his compatriots, even the car. Humans who crash into other cars are called "Mr. Tanker".The prerequisite for our private car to be able to live normally is - "human beings will not drive recklessly".In other words, "human beings have common sense and conscience."If this is no longer true, we cannot drive with confidence.It's as if the premise of normal human survival is - "there will be oxygen in tomorrow's air", if this premise collapses, panic will erupt in the human world.

"Tokari must be about the same as the man driving the tanker." "Maybe." "If that guy is not a human but a car, he will definitely be recalled immediately. Why don't humans say 'recall'?!" Human beings do not distinguish between styles and ages. Even if there is a recall, only one person can be recalled.But I understand what Zappa means.Vehicles will be recalled because of the potential for fatal accidents. Today, Tokari's behavior has threatened the lives of other humans, but he still lives in style, which is too unfair. Soon after, Yoshio and Heng got out of the car.It seemed that they had really come to the car for the secret talk.At this time, a lady came from the left.She is round and wears a wide-brimmed, tulip-shaped hat.It's Mrs. Yasuda.

"Hehe, here comes the aunt who loves to gossip and clean up." Zappa joked.Despite his tongue-in-cheek tinge, I could sense that Zappa had a crush on the lady.In fact, so do I. If you want to ask why I have a good impression of her, I can't explain it clearly.Mrs. Yasuda, who is outspoken and has bright eyes when she talks about gossip, sometimes makes our car too much.Every time she sees me or Zappa, she will either ask Yuzi: "I said, don't you want to change the car?" or give advice to Mr. Hosami: "You are the principal, you should drive a more stylish car. .That Corolla is an oldie." Could there be a more repulsive phrase for us?However, we can't hate her anyway.As long as we open our hood, the internal structure can be seen at a glance. Mrs. Yasuda is similar, with emotions written all over her face, and she never wants to say one thing about another, and expresses all emotions straightforwardly.Perhaps because of this, it makes us feel very at ease.

"Hey, the boys of the Mochizuki family." Mrs. Yasuda waved her right hand vigorously and greeted happily. "Mrs. Yasuda, hello." Heng said.Yoshio also nodded to her. "I suddenly remembered something, can you listen to me a few words?" Mrs. Yasuda said happily. "Even if she said she didn't want to hear it, she would still chatter." Zappa complained helplessly. "It was that tunnel accident where two people died, right?" "You mean Araki Sui and Niwa?" Yoshio replied. "That's right. Why the two of them dated is still a mystery, but I think it might be that Niwa-kun wants to leave his offspring."

"Ah..." Facing the fast-talking Mrs. Yasuda, Yoshio and Heng didn't know how to communicate for a while. "Niwa-kun wants to protect Taiyang-kun's copyright from outsiders, so he wants a child." "In that case, he wouldn't be looking for the married Araki Cui. Just marry a single girl and have a baby." Yoshio tactfully stated his opinion. "Maybe no one wants to marry him." Mrs. Yasuda said bluntly. "Little Green, maybe they have a common interest." Zappa interjected. "Stake? Who and who?" "Araki Sui and Niwa. If they have children, Niwa can pass on Taiyo-kun's copyright; and Araki Sui can get the money earned by Taiyo-kun through their children."

"The Araki family is a famous family. Araki Cui doesn't need to do this kind of thing, and the money is too much to spend." "No amount of money is too much. Besides, isn't Araki Tsui very keen on volunteer activities and charitable donations? Maybe she wants to use all the copyright fees of Taiyang Jun for this. Use the copyright fees of Taiyang Jun for children's charity , isn't it very appropriate?" "Well, it's not entirely impossible." Based on Zappa's hypothesis, I can imagine the corresponding picture, but it feels difficult to implement. "But it's only strategically feasible. And if that's the case, why did Araki Cui have an extramarital affair? Wouldn't it be good to get a divorce and be with Niwa? This would save a lot of trouble."

"But if this is the case, where will Araki Cui's husband lose face? It's shameless to be kicked away by his wife." "Her husband loses face no matter what. The wife is cheating." "What's wrong with that man now?" "Which man?" "Araki Tsui's husband." Yes, how is her husband now?He is an ordinary person, and the media can't report it at will.Maybe her husband's opinion on the matter was mentioned on TV or in the newspapers, but at least the Mochizuki family didn't mention it in the car, so I have no way of knowing.I can't even imagine how sad and sad her husband will be after Araki Cui's death.

The eloquent Mrs. Yasuda finally said: "Okay, we can't waste time on this kind of thing." Then she took her leave and left.She habitually looked at the garbage collection point on the side of the road, and then looked up at the utility pole. She must be checking the whereabouts of the old enemy crow.Sure enough, there was one on the wire, and the crow looked like a weird umbrella folded.Mrs. Yasuda quickly grasped the brim of the hat with her right hand. Going to do the Hat Frisbee stunt again? However, my expectations were quickly dashed.As soon as the crows saw Mrs. Yasuda making such a move, they immediately flapped their wings and flew away. It seems that the crows have already kept in their hearts the special skills of a powerful enemy.

"Coward." Mrs. Yasuda muttered.
