Chen Yongyang raised his slap to hit Chen Zhujun as he spoke, but he didn't want to be beaten, so he stepped on a bamboo basket and almost fell into a "dog gnawing mud". He had no choice but to return to the idol and kneel on the ground again to recite the words. After tossing for a while, the couple and Zhao Yan left the City God Temple one by one dejectedly.

When the three of them returned to the street, it was the dead of night, but they were all sleepy and chirping. Chen Yong and his wife were still busy scolding, Zhao Yan was busy sighing, and Chen Zhujun was hiding in the room crying. The family was busy venting their emotions, and no one remembered to take care of the dried tofu smoked under the tent. When it was almost dawn, the stove where the tofu was smoked caught fire, and everyone burned the dry wood by the stove, and the smoke was billowing out.

Chen Yong and his wife slept on the second floor, because they had been scolding all night and had no intention of sleeping, when they suddenly saw the fire outside the window, they got up violently and shouted "Fight the fire." ”

After shouting for a while, I saw that none of the neighbors came close, so I had to call Chen Jian and his wife and ask them to come and put out the fire.

After receiving the call, Chen Jian and his wife immediately called several laborers and rushed to work together to extinguish the fire, and the family naturally had a false alarm. In addition to the false alarm, Chen Yong and his wife still counted down Chen Zhujun one by one, "If it weren't for our fate, we wouldn't have been burned alive tonight? Tell you to smoke tofu, but don't smoke a few human flesh! I think you have bad intentions and sincerely want to kill us!"

As soon as Chen Zhujun heard Chen Yong's count, he was so angry that he picked up a rope and was about to hang himself. Fortunately, Deng Lan was quick and snatched the rope in Chen Zhujun's hand.

"You're going to hang yourself, my grandmother," Zhou Li said in a sharp voice, "If you want to hang yourself, don't hang yourself in my house, my family can't afford to pay for work-related injuries and pensions, and if I attract a few unlucky ghosts like you to enter the door a year, then how can I still open my shop? If you want to do something, just stay here, and if you want to die, get out early. ”

"I'm tired of staying at your house for a long time," Chen Zhujun said, "I'll leave immediately." Immediately, Chen Zhujun packed his luggage and walked downstairs.

It was still dark, and it was gray everywhere. Chen Zhujun walked to the street, and he didn't know where to go, and he couldn't help but feel a little frightened. Fortunately, Chen Jian and his wife followed from behind, so they pulled Chen Zhujun into their home.

Chen Jian opened an aluminum alloy shop on the south street of the town, and every day the sound of pipe cutting machine, grinding wheel saw, circular saw machine, wind drill machine, sanding machine, and polishing machine is staggered, like a bullet whistling in the air, giving people a feeling of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart from time to time. There are several men and women in the workshop, working every day in the gray aluminum dust. They were wrapped in long coats, wearing masks, and covering their faces, revealing only two gray eyes. In the harsh melodies of various machines, they sometimes sing a self-composed song to forget the hardships of work.

"Grandpa, I was born in southwest Hunan since I was a child,

Born to be a coolie,

Every day from sunrise to sunset west,

Never complain about the heavens, never complain about the earth,

Don't seek great wealth, don't seek great wealth,

Just want to be healthy and happy every day

Race over the living immortals. ”

The singing voice is rough and the melody is bright, which makes people think of the theme song of an ancient TV series when they listen to it.

Chen Zhujun worked like a robot in Chen Jian's house for three months, and he felt that his brain was buzzing and painful, and his heart was like a knife. "If this continues, I will have a heart attack sooner or later, and I can't bear this job, so I'd better go to the factory to do things. During a lunch break, Chen Zhujun and Chen Jian said softly.

"You go to the factory, do you think you are still young?" Chen Jian sneered, "The factory is a place to bury the youth of young people, and if you go to the factory at this age and don't bury your old life, then the factory will not be called a factory." ”

When Chen Zhujun heard this, his heart was cold, thinking that he was a person who was not confused, where to go, and couldn't help but hesitate a little.

"At your age, it's better to stay at home, find someone to live in, and start a family is the right way. Do something in your own home, earn a little money to support your life, and be more comfortable," Chen Jiandao, "I have an apprentice in my workshop, who is also single, you might as well make a family, and you will succeed in learning art in the future, and you will go home and open a shop, why worry about not having a good life?"

"I didn't mention that mess," Chen Zhujun said, "I am destined to have no perfect marriage, every marriage is the end of the gong and drum, if you don't mention it, it's really embarrassing." ”

"This time, we will learn our lesson and will not be as reckless as before. At that time, we will ask fortune tellers and word testers to combine the eight characters of the two of you's birthdays, and if you can get together, you can pass it, and if you can't, you will pull it down. This apprentice of mine, named Li Ping, is from Jiangxi, and he divorced three years ago. This person is talented, careful, and sincere. If you can be together, it is really a perfect match, he has a son, you have a daughter, if the two young people like each other, you can also kiss each other, it is really fat and water does not flow into other people's fields, and when the family property is large, you don't have to worry about settling on the head of a foreign surname....."

Chen Jianzheng said that in Xingtou, unfortunately the apprentice happened to come out of the kitchen to fetch water, and just happened to meet Chen Zhujun, and his face was red with shame. Chen Jian, who was talking, saw it in his eyes and felt that he was already a little sure of that family business, so Mao Sui recommended himself to serve as their matchmaker.

Chen Jian privately sent the birthdays of the two of them to a famous fortune teller on the street. The fortune teller measured that one snake and one rat are not compatible, but they are not opposed, and since ancient times, snakes and rats have been born in a litter, suitable for living together. In addition, Chen Jian was very optimistic about Li Ping, so the marriage was quickly and logically completed.

Chen Zhujun and Li Ping did not hold a big banquet with great fanfare, nor did they register with the government in a high-sounding manner, they rented a house on the street in a very low-key manner, and lived a trial marriage life of "living if they can get together but not living and dispersing". The two lived in secret for two months, and their lives were happy.

One day is also deserved, Li Ping was in the hustle and bustle of the workshop, and was accidentally cut off two fingers by a cutting machine.

That incident suddenly turned into a serious work-related injury incident, and Li Ping tried his best to maintain his power for the sake of those two fingers, regardless of the nepotism with the Chen family. For this reason, Chen Jian and his wife secretly wooed Chen Zhujun many times, asking Chen Zhujun to persuade Li Ping to make some concessions, but Li Ping did not listen at all.

"I'm doing cows and horses in your brother's house, and I'm missing two fingers at once, and it's natural to lose money, don't think that we are a little related, this money will be less, tell you, I won't go less than a child, all according to the procedure." Li Ping Zhenzhen has words.

"The finger is broken anyway, don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, it's for my sake, don't make trouble, you can take as much as my brother can give you." Chen Jiandao.

"you, how can it be so easy? Even if I don't marry this cousin, I'll ask for the money I deserve. Li Ping said.

Li Ping did what he said, and the next day he moved out of the rented house, and he moved out of the "Labor Law" as a backing, and sure enough, he received a generous work-related injury fee in Chen Jian's hands, which was enough to set Chen Jian's family back by several years.

For this reason, Chen Jian had a belly of fire at his sister Chen Zhujun, "You don't have the ability to fool people, and you still slept with him! You are so stupid, you will suffer everywhere you go! The concubines and uncles in the past can rewrite history, I have never seen you so useless, you actually wore a pair of pants with others to dig the corner of your mother's house!"

"I dig the corner of my mother's house?" Chen Zhujun said in surprise, "I dig the corner of my mother's house, if I dig the corner of my mother's house, I will not die well!"

Chen Jian and his wife didn't pay attention to her, and went with her temperament. Chen Zhujun didn't do anything that day, and when he returned to the rented room, he was angry and annoyed when he remembered Chen Jian's scolding of him, and he couldn't help but think of the troubles he had stumbled over for most of his life.

Crying until late at night, Chen Zhujun got up and made a phone call from Li Ping, "You really hurt me miserably, now, what's the point of me living in this world, it's better to die or become a monk!"

"You must not die, you wait for me, I will come right away. Li Ping shouted on the other end of the phone.

"Don't come here, I don't want to see you again. Chen Zhujun cried.

"I will definitely come to pick you up, you wait for me, and I will pick you up after I finish the discharge procedures......"

Without waiting for Li Ping to finish speaking, Chen Zhujun hung up the phone. She felt that she was a little vexatious, and she felt that Li Ping was also a little vexatious, didn't the two say that they would not kiss, why did they call again in the middle of the night? This kind of unreasonable and chaotic feelings made Chen Zhujun miserable for several days. The more painful she was, the more she secretly strengthened her heart to become a monk.
