Shen Heng, the village bully of Shili Village, has a fierce and intimidating persona.
To everyone's surprise, his newly wedded little wife is not afraid of him at all. In fact, she keeps ...
"Brother Heng, is that what I meant?" Wang Fushun felt that Shen Heng was being too petty.
"No matter what you mean, it won't work. You'd better not come to my house again."
Wang Fushun: "..."
He suspected that Shen Heng had gone mad from the thought of marriage. With his brother Heng like this, how could he dare to get married? He must be mentally unstable.
"I'll buy it for DouDou, okay, I'll buy DouDou a new dog bowl."
"You don't need to buy DouDou either."
"......"
Bai Jiaojiao secretly pinched Shen Heng, thinking to herself that it was fortunate he wasn't an outsider, otherwise he would have been laughed at to death.
Wang Fushun ate and took some, and even brought some tomato stewed beef brisket for his mother to try.
The next morning, Bai Jiaojiao got up early to make tomato and egg dumplings for Shen Heng, and also packed a lunchbox for him to take on the train, and to let Wang Fushun try them too.
Why are you so good to him?
Shen Heng was unwilling, so his wife could only treat him well.
Bai Jiaojiao was afraid that Shen Heng would be stingy and wouldn't give Wang Fushun any food, making him drool the whole way. So she coaxed him, "He's helped you so much. He's a capable and trustworthy person. I'll help you win him over and take good care of his mother so he can work for you without any worries."
Bai Jiaojiao's words pleased Shen Heng: "You don't need to worry about this. Shunzi doesn't care about these things. When we split the profits, I didn't mistreat him at all. You just need to keep me in mind."
"Okay, okay, I packed two portions of dumplings today. You should share them with him. It's hot today, and if he doesn't eat them, they might get soggy in this lunchbox."
Bai Jiaojiao gave further instructions.
Shen Heng packed the baggage that Bai Jiaojiao had prepared for him, left the bicycle at home, and walked to Wang Fushun's house. The two of them went to the station together.
Now that the new policy has been implemented, officially allowing the existence of individual businesses, everyone's minds have become active. The train heading south is packed with people of all kinds, whether they are going to do big business or trying to make a living by trickery.
Tickets for this train were hard to come by, and Wang Fushun was only able to get two sleeper berths thanks to Shen Heng. Even the hard seat standing tickets were crowded, but they were able to have a quiet place to lie down.
"You two young people are going to Zhuzhou too?"
Shen Heng and Wang Fushun didn't talk much in the car, but they still sat together, taking turns keeping watch over the bags where they kept their valuables.
When traveling, Shen Heng always keeps his bankbook in two places: one on his person and one in his bag, so that he can protect half of his savings if something happens.
The man in the opposite bunk seemed to be the same person; seeing that they weren't talking, he tried to start a conversation with them.
Shen Heng lifted his eyelids slightly but didn't say anything.
Being away from home is different from being at home, so it's not convenient to offend people. Wang Fushun said, "I'm going to visit a relative."
The man didn't believe him either, and said directly, "Are you two greenhorns even fully grown yet, trying to follow the trend? Won't you lose everything? Or are you going to work for someone else?"
When Shen Heng and Wang Fushun went out by car, they would change into inconspicuous clothes. Wang Fushun's clothes even had patches on the elbows, making it obvious that they were poor people trying to make a living, so that no one would have any crooked thoughts about them.
That's what the person who struck up a conversation with them was thinking, their words laced with sarcasm and disdain.
Wang Fushun was also a loose tongue; he wouldn't blurt out anything just because someone provoked him. Instead, he simply kept quiet, just like Shen Heng.
The man seemed unwilling to give up: "What kind of attitude is this? Let me tell you, I'm going to do big business. If you two come with me, you won't have to plunder and fight yourselves. Do you really think money is so easy to earn?"
There are no such good people in the world. They can't even make enough money for themselves, yet they want to help others get rich just by meeting them by chance.
Neither Shen Heng nor Wang Fushun were fools; they pretended to close their eyes and rest, trying to cut off communication with this person.
Seeing that they didn't know what was good for them, the man angrily said, "You'll regret this someday."
