This night, Ma Xiaoying slept very sweetly, Sun Bing and Huang Dong also fell asleep sweetly after whispering, Cong Shanshan returned to the stormy first night again in her dream......

On this night in Beihua, most people lived a peaceful and down-to-earth life, and even after a few months, there would be no trace of that night in their memories, but Duan Hongchen tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

In another room, her titular man slept, a man she once admired, but now she desperately wanted to get rid of, and the sound of thunderous snoring pierced directly into Duan Hongchen's eardrums through the two doors, and every sound made her heart torment in the oil pot.

Since he couldn't sleep, Duan Hongchen simply got up, took out a box of cigarettes from the drawer at the head of the bed, lit it and took two puffs, the fire of the cigarette butt flickered on and off, some like fireflies on a summer night, and some like his own life, lit up and extinguished until his life burned out.

Duan Hongchen is a mother, her mother is a country girl, and when she was working in the county seat, she was unfortunate after the night shift. She was born ten months later, so, she didn't know who her father was since she was a child, and she didn't want to know, if she knew, she would choose to kill that bastard with her own hands.

She remembers that when she was a child, the children in the same village laughed at her for the first time that she was a wild child, she went home and asked her mother what a wild child was, and after her mother heard this, the next day, she escaped from her hometown with her who had just become sensible, came to Beihua, and supported her by doing odd jobs. The women's group is weak, and the mother is strong, the girl who was originally in her 20s, after encountering life changes, in order to take care of her daughter, she went to heaven and earth from then on, and she could do anything, breaking steel bars on the construction site, pushing sand like other men, doing manual work, and the construction site was not working, so she pedaled three wheels against the sun to deliver food to the city.

Even after Duan Hongchen grew up, her mother rarely talked to her about the past, but that time, her mother told her that at that time, she was numb, and she didn't want to live, but she couldn't bear to throw down Duan Hongchen, so she used work to numb herself, maybe one day she was tired to death, and she couldn't take care of it much.

A few years later, Duan's mother met an old bachelor who sold vegetables, and occasionally helped Duan's mother do some work, but still didn't buy some snacks for Duan Hongchen. Since someone doesn't dislike her as a drag oil bottle, and is also looking for a support for herself and her daughter, Duan's mother married the old bachelor. But after getting married, the old bachelor was like a different person, he didn't sell vegetables, and he didn't bother to earn money, so he pointed to his daughter-in-law to go out to earn money to support the family, and drank all day long, and often beat their mother and daughter. The mother endured again and again for the sake of her daughter.

After Duan Hongchen graduated from junior high school, she went to the city to work to support herself, and she didn't want to go back to the home that didn't belong to her.

At the earliest, she worked as a waitress in a restaurant, due to her young age, she would be very tired from work, and at the end of the day, sometimes she was reluctant to walk the tired road, but although it was hard, Duan Hongchen lived comfortably, and the money she earned was not only to support herself, but also to secretly send some to her mother occasionally, and the days passed peacefully for a year.

She remembered that on that ordinary day, when she was serving food, someone at the table deliberately grabbed her hand and said something indiscriminate, and she splashed someone else's wine in a fit of anger, and the person was about to beat her. Zhao Guoliang, who was a waiter together, saw that he helped her out and fought with the customers who were eating, and Zhao Guoliang said a sentence that touched the little girl's heart: "Beat a woman, are you still a man?"

Because of this righteousness, Zhao Guoliang was fired from the hotel and went to another hotel to work, although the young man lost his job, he won the girl's heart, the two often contacted, and soon established a relationship, and moved together.

Although Duan Hongchen grew up in a dilapidated home, the little girl is very strong and has an eye for making money. Half a year later, Duan Hongchen felt that the job of a waiter would never come out, so he quit his job in a restaurant and went to work as a salesman in a pharmacy, because the working environment there was better, although he earned less, but the world he was exposed to was a different scene.

The smart Duan Hongchen found that in order to increase income, in addition to selling some drugs for daily headaches and brain fever, the pharmacy also bought some weight loss drugs and nutritional drugs to sell, and it was also very popular with girls.

Duan Hongchen saw a business opportunity from it, through the introduction of people who often come to deliver medicine, and applied for a job as a salesman in a health care product factory, she mainly asked to be responsible for the promotion of weight loss products in a region, and did two years in this company, two years of experience in the promotion of weight loss products, so that Duan Hongchen has accumulated a lot of contacts in pharmacies. When the time was ripe, she used the money she saved to act as an agent for two weight loss capsules and became her own boss, at that time, Zhao Guoliang was still obedient to her.

During that time, it was Duan Hongchen's busiest day, many things had to be done by herself, there was not enough manpower, she also went to various pharmacies every day to deliver goods, collect money, and arrange advertising promotion through various channels, although the advertising area in various newspapers was not large, but she also had to bargain with people from newspapers and radio stations, asking for layout or time slots. After that, supervise the answering of the phone, the delivery of goods, and the collection of payments. At that time, weight loss health products were just emerging, and the competition in the industry was not so fierce, which gave Duan Hongchen a good space for development. Three years later, Duan Hongchen's annual income has exceeded one million. Become the number one person in the Beihua health care products market, weight loss drugs and beauty products, her family does the best, Duan Hongchen has always said that she is a woman and knows women best, so she wants to make products, and she will do it around women.

That is, from that time on, Zhao Guoliang does not need to work anymore, after the two of them get married, the life after the marriage, the family expenses are all taken care of by Duan Hongchen, she only hopes that her husband can do her logistics at home and have time to help him collect money. However, Zhao Guoliang, who was idle, in order to pass the time, became obsessed with playing mahjong gambling, and the bigger he played, the more and more money he lost, often the money he recovered from the pharmacy was lost to the mahjong table in a few days.

After Duan Hongchen found out, after having a big quarrel with him, he notified the cooperative pharmacy that he could no longer settle payments with Zhao Guoliang in the future.

Zhao Guoliang, who broke off the money road, became very irritable, playing mahjong and drinking became all his life, if he didn't have money, he would quarrel if he didn't give it, the only thing that made Duan Hongchen happy was that Zhao Guoliang had never beaten her, which was also one of the reasons why Duan Hongchen had hope for this marriage.

As Boss Duan's career got bigger and bigger, the time to go home was getting later and later, and there were few opportunities for the two to meet, and later, Zhao Guoliang also began to stay home at night, and many friends told Duan Hongchen that he saw Zhao Guoliang go to the hotel with a girl dressed as a bewitching girl. Duan Hongchen believed that it was true, but he didn't bother to care, and by this time, there was no common language between him and Zhao Guoliang. As long as Zhao Guoliang goes home, he must ask her for money, 35,000 yuan each time, after getting the money, sleep at home for one night, and then there must be no shadow for a long time, the snoring that can bring Duan Hongchen a sense of security has also become extremely harsh, Duan Hongchen has talked to Zhao Guoliang about divorce several times, and promised to give him a sum of money, but Zhao Guoliang's attitude is very resolute, divorce is okay, but he must give him half of the company, otherwise, there is no need to talk.

......

When the third cigarette burned out, Duan Hongchen began to cough violently, coughing so much that even she was afraid that it would affect the rest of her neighbors, but the man under the same roof was still snoring.

Duan Hongchen couldn't stand this snoring anymore, put on her clothes, went out to drive, and prepared to endure the night on the bed in the office, she knew that tomorrow morning, Zhao Guoliang would automatically disappear until the next time she ran out of money.
