"You're really something. It's not easy for you to change jobs and enter the steel mill. You don't want a good job and want to learn from others to set up a stall. Is that how you set up a stall?" Chen Dan was only one year older than her brother. On the way back, she thought about what happened today and could not help but scold him.
"With the steel mill's salary, how many years will it take to gather 20,000 yuan?”Chen Tong said indignantly," If I don't know how to set up a stall, why can't I learn? The yellow-faced cat was clearly bullying people. He said that the position he occupied was good and that he had to charge double the money. If I didn't give it to him, his subordinates would say that he was using dirty words to stir up trouble.”
Chen Dan's face was burning as she glanced at Shen Huai, afraid that he would really associate it with something indecent. Seeing that Shen Huai didn't have any reaction and was only pushing the cart under the moonlight, he then argued with his younger brother with a threatening face,""You know that Wang Gang and the others are looking for trouble, but you can still fall for it. Why can't you grow some brains? Why can't you let me and Dad save you some trouble?”
"How can I not let you worry? The yellow-faced cat clearly has bad intentions towards you. Sun Yong is a coward who deserves to be killed. How can I not find an opportunity to teach the yellow-faced cat a lesson? When I gather 20,000 yuan and return it to Sun, you'll be free." Chen Tong was angry because his actions were not understood, which made it seem like his girlfriend and Shen Huai were outsiders.
"Then tell me, why did I ask the Sun family for 20,000 yuan?”Seeing that her younger brother was still so stubborn and refused to lower his head, Chen Dan was so angry that she was about to cry.
Shen Huai raised his head and looked at the red as blood on the treetops in the east. The moon was round like a plate. Other than the lights coming out of the windows of the people on both sides of the street, the street was already dark.
Listening to Chen Dan's words to her younger brother in a fit of pique, Shen Huai's heart also ached for her.
Chen Dan had a blind date with her disappointing cousin, Sun Yong. After knowing his character, she did not intend to agree to this marriage.
He was just rushing Chen Tong to fight with the hooligans in school. He did not know the severity of the situation and broke the other party's leg. The other party's parents insisted that Chen Tong pay 20,000 yuan before agreeing to settle the matter privately. Chen Dan had no choice but to accept the 20,000 yuan betrothal gift from his uncle's family to settle the marriage.
Chen Dan was only nineteen years old at that time. She got engaged with Sun Yong first and then officially married after she was twenty years old. After that incident, Chen Tong directly dropped out of school and joined the army. After the engagement, his uncle used his connections to transfer Chen Dan to the reception station in Meixi Town. Shen Huai knew all about this. He also knew that Chen Tong had started to learn well in the army and even had the opportunity to transfer to volunteer or even attend military school. He did not expect him to start causing trouble again after retiring from the army.
However, from what he said, the reason he caused trouble this time was to protect his sister, Chen Dan. Shen Huai felt that it was understandable. It was just that the timing was not grasped well. It was within the scope of being able to be taught well.
Thinking of his cousin, Chen Huai could not help but sigh. It was rare to be as disappointing as his cousin. A beautiful wife like her would be ruined by him.
Before his cousin and Chen Dan officially got married, he did not know if he had lost a bet with the yellow-faced cat or if there was something else that the yellow-faced cat could use against him. Chen Dan had already been transferred to the town reception station at that time. Yellow-faced Cat was in his eyes. That time, Yellow-faced Cat relied on his alcohol and asked his cousin Sun Yong to sleep with Chen Dan for a night. He had paid off the previous bill. His cousin had actually lost his mind and agreed.
In the end, the yellow-faced cat did not get any advantage. Chen Dan gave his cousin an excuse to trick him into the dormitory. When she saw that the situation was not right, she rushed to the kitchen and took a kitchen knife. She cut the yellow-faced cat and his cousin apart and ran all over the street. The yellow-faced cat was quick to react. That time, he did not suffer any injuries, but his cousin had been slashed by Chen Dan, who had gone crazy with anger at that time, and was covered in blood.
That incident caused a huge commotion in Meixi Town. Chen Dan wanted to break off the engagement, but his uncle's family wanted to cancel the engagement. The 20,000 yuan betrothal gift had to be returned, plus interest.
Chen Dan couldn't afford the money, so she had no choice but to marry his cousin. After she married him, she continued to work at the reception station in Meixi Town.
Although Chen Dan had become more and more charming in the past two years, everyone in Meixi Town knew that she was a thorny flower. Although many men in the town missed her, no one dared to lay a hand on her.
With her by his sister's side, Shen Huai felt exceptionally at ease.
Shen Huai looked at the lead-colored sky and said to Chen Tong, who was still in a fit of pique,
"There are a lot of things that are unfair in this society. It will make people feel very unconvinced and uncomfortable. Why could the joint defense officers collect management fees from the stalls at will, and they could decide how much they wanted to collect? Why could officials bully others and deceive their superiors and subordinates, and no one cared about corruption? You're angry, you're angry, and you want to smash all these things into pieces. It's not hard to understand, but think about it. What can you do by barging around like this?”
"..." Chen Tong was still angry. Although he was very grateful to Shen Huai for helping him today, he could not help but retort," It's better than being bullied!"”However, she felt that it was too much to say. She softened her tone and said," But you're right. It's just that today's matter is too annoying."
Chen Dan pinched her brother and felt strange. Chen Tong usually never took the initiative to admit defeat, but in front of Shen Huai, it was as if he had changed into another person?
Shen Huai didn't care about Chen Tong's words. He felt that Chen Tong had a shadow of him when he was twenty years old. At that time, he was too proud and arrogant! He smiled and did not try to persuade Chen Tong.
He knew that Chen Tong was so young, and it was one thing for him to be arrogant. However, if he was forced to hold his head down by others, he would have a more direct desire for violence or power. He planned to lead him down the wrong path. He said,
" Some people are angry purely because of the unfairness, some are angry because they can't enjoy the unfairness, and some are both…"
"What's the difference?" Chen Tong asked doubtfully.
"You saw how I managed to control the situation with just a few words today and even forced the yellow-faced cat to apologize and beg for mercy. Tell me the truth, are you envious?”Shen Huai asked.
"I'm envious." Chen Tong could not deny this.
After pressing the joint defense team members to the ground, Chen Tong's face was pressed against the cold road. When simple violence was no longer useful, he longed for a stronger force to beat these bastards to the ground. At first, he did not understand. When he saw Shen Huai stand up and effortlessly scare the usually arrogant yellow-faced cat, he knew that the stronger power was power.
How could he not be envious after being humiliated?
"You look like you're twenty years old, right?" Shen Huai asked. Of course, he knew that Chen Dan was 22 years old this year and her brother was one year younger than her.
"Yes, I'm twenty-one." Chen Tong was angry with his sister, but he was convinced by Shen Huai. Perhaps more accurately, it was his worship of power.
"Actually, I didn't come to Meixi Town for a casual stroll today…" Shen Huai said to Chen Dan.
Chen Dan's heart skipped a beat. She was afraid that he would say that he was here for her. She thought that Secretary Shen must have found out from Zhao Dong that she lived in Meixi Town. Chen Dan wanted to change the topic, but she didn't know how.
"I'll be going to Meixi Town in a few days as the deputy secretary of the party committee. I've just been transferred to the county, but I haven't officially reported yet. "I came here today to find a suitable house to rent in Meixi Town…" Shen Huai didn't know what Chen Dan was thinking, so he told her frankly that he was coming to Meixi Town to work.
"Ah!" Chen Dan looked at Shen Huai in surprise. She had never thought that Shen Huai would come to Meixi Town to be an official in a few days.
" Really..." Chen Tong was surprised and happy. He did not know what relationship his sister had with this young man in front of him who was not much older than him. However, he had an indescribable good impression of him at this time. He thought that if he came to Meixi Town to be an official, at least he could slightly suppress the evil spirits of the yellow-faced cat and the others. It was also a good thing for the residents of Meixi Town.
Chen Dan worked in the town reception station and was quite clear about some of the rules of the officialdom.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the deputy secretary of the town party committee was already a rare high-ranking official, but when it came to glory, it was far from being comparable to the secretary beside the city leader. She did not understand why Shen Huai would suddenly come to Meixi Town to be the Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee.
Moreover, Meixi Town was not far from Donghua City. It only took more than half an hour by bus every day. He could not figure out why Shen Huai did not live in the city and wanted to find another house in town.
"You came out to set up a stall. Did you lose your working relationship with the steel mill?”Shen Huai asked Chen Tong.
"If I dare to lose it, my sister will beat me to death.”Chen Tong said.
"You're big and rough. Who can beat you up?”Chen Dan blushed as she rebuked her brother.
"If our working relationship is still at the steel mill, then it's easy to handle. " You should work hard in the steel mill now. Don't cause any trouble for your sister," Shen Huai said." After I officially start working in Meixi Town in two days, you can continue to stay in the steel mill or work in the town government. There won't be any problems." However, there are some things that you have to think about carefully. You can't just charge around whenever you encounter something…"
Hearing Shen Huai say this, Chen Tong was overjoyed.
Chen Dan looked at the moonlight beside her. She was afraid of pouring cold water on her brother's heart, but Shen Huai was coming at her so brazenly. If she did not reject him now, it would be like owing the Sun family 20,000 yuan as a betrothal gift. She was afraid that she would fall deeper and deeper in the future.
"Oh right, with this delay today, I might not have time to look for a house in Meixi Town. If Chen Tong has the time, help me find a house in Meixi Town. I just want some peace and quiet. I don't have any other requests." Shen Huai said. He thought that it was quite interesting to order Chen Dan's younger brother around like a little brother.
"Sis, didn't you say that you wanted to bring Xiao Li to live in town with you? " So be it." Hearing that Shen Huai had something for him to do so soon, Chen Tong became excited. He ignored the pain on his face." I wonder if Secretary Shen would mind?"”
"Are we going there now? Then we'll know if you dislike it after we see it." Shen Huai said with a smile.
Chen Dan felt like her scalp was about to explode. Why is my brother so insensible? Where in the world is there a free lunch for you to eat?
However, her younger brother had a look of anticipation on his face. In the dark of the night, his eyes sparkled as he looked at Shen Huai. It was as if he could hear every word that Shen Huai said. Chen Dan's determination wavered a little.
She thought that if her younger brother had the opportunity to embark on another path in life, she should support him as an elder sister. Thinking of this, Chen Dan could not help but feel an unspeakable sadness in her heart. She wanted to let nature take its course and no longer thought of excuses to decline Shen Huai's request to rent the old house and arrange for her younger brother to work.
