Chapter five hundred and sixty-one: kick Luo Shibin
"Mom, I have something else I want to confess to you."
Zhou Chen's words made Li Suhua instantly alert. She asked doubtfully: "What bad thing did you do behind my back again?"
Zhou Chen rolled his eyes: "Mom, am I so unreliable in your eyes?"
"Stop being poor and say something quickly."
Zhou Chen pursed his lips and said, "I rented a house outside."
"Rented a house?"
Li Suhua looked confused, "What kind of house did you rent? What kind of house did you rent properly?"
Seeing that Li Suhua was not as angry as he thought, Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief and then explained.
"Mom, don't be angry if I tell you. Our house is big enough for the publication, but it's really inconvenient. It's not convenient for drinking water, going to the toilet, etc. The house I rent is very far away from the publishing house.
It’s close, convenient for work, and the place is big enough, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, and a small yard outside that can be used as a vegetable garden.”
"If you rent such a big house, you won't come back to live in it in the future?" Li Suhua looked tense.
"How is it possible? This is my root. How could I not come back? What I think is that when Zheng Juan and I get married, we will have children soon. When I go to work, it will be very inconvenient for you to be at home.
That’s why I rented that house.”
"You mean, let me move there too?"
Zhou Chen's eyes widened and he said in shock: "Mom, look at what you said, you are my mother, how could I not miss you? There are only two of us in our family now. No matter where I go, whether I get married or not, I will definitely want to
I will take you with me unless you no longer want me as your son."
"Brat."
Li Suhua was a little worried, but immediately relaxed, and then said: "It must cost a lot to rent such a big house. Mom will give you all the money your dad sent back, and you can use it."
"No, I have enough money. Mom, why don't I take you to the house tomorrow to check it out? I asked Zheng Juan to clean it up for a few days. It should be much better now."
"Aren't you going to work tomorrow?"
"I can get off work early. It's not too far from the optical film, so it doesn't take long to go back and forth."
Li Suhua thought for a while: "We'll have a look, but forget about living there. I've lived in Guangzipian for so many years, and I've long been used to it, and I don't want to go anywhere else."
Zhou Chen immediately said: "That's absolutely not possible. Mom, you don't want to go. Could it be that you don't want to take care of my child?"
Li Suhua hummed: "Bringing up a child is nothing. The main reason is that Mom is used to being here. After you and Zheng Juan get married, you can just live your life. As long as you can live well, you don't have to worry about Mom."
Zhou Chen was moved in his heart. Sure enough, people's feelings come from getting along. After a few years, there were only two of them in the family, so Li Suhua's feelings for him have become much deeper.
"You are my mother, how can I not worry? Anyway, I have decided that if you don't go, then I won't go either. At worst, the rent of that house for several years will be wasted."
When Li Suhua heard this, she immediately became anxious: "Kun'er, how many years have you paid the rent for your house?"
"Yes, 70 a year, I settled on five years."
"Snapped."
Li Suhua went up to Zhou Chen and yelled angrily: "You brat, have you lost your mind? How can you rent a house like this? 70 a year for five years?"
Of course, what Zhou Chen said was not true, but he had to say it in order to let Li Suhua go with him.
"So, in order not to let this money go to waste, we have no choice but to live there."
In the end, Li Suhua was persuaded by Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen's persuasion was part of the reason, but more importantly, she and Zhou Chen were the only ones in the family now. If her youngest son left again, she would really be alone.
After convincing Li Suhua, Zhou Chen immediately told Zheng Juan the good news.
"Really? Has Auntie really agreed to our marriage?"
Zheng Juan's joy was revealed unabashedly. She had long wanted to marry Zhou Chen, but she was a filial girl. She did not dare to bring up the matter until Li Suhua and Zhou Zhigang let go.
Fortunately, Zhou Chen has always given her confidence, so that she will not worry about gains and losses.
Now that she knew that Li Suhua had agreed, she felt a little dazed. There seemed to be countless noisy sounds in her ears, but she heard nothing.
Zheng Juan's expression of fear and surprise made Zhou Chen feel guilty, and he gently held Zheng Juan in his arms.
"Well, it's true. I have already agreed with my mother that we will get married on the sixth day of the first lunar month. The venue will be right next to our new house. Then we will hire a chef to prepare a few tables of food at home. What do you think?"
Over the past few years, he has truly fallen in love with this simple, hard-working, kind and somewhat cute girl.
Compared with the women before her, Zheng Juan seemed like a mute. She would never make any demands on him, but no matter what he did, she would silently support him behind his back.
Zheng Juan is the type of person who is willing to consider and sacrifice for others. She may not be able to talk to you about the national situation, business economy, let alone poetry creation, singing and dancing;
But she can give you an extremely stable rear, so that you don't have to worry about your family, your children, or your parents. She is a typical good wife and loving mother.
"On the sixth day of the first lunar month, are you in such a hurry?"
"Is this so urgent? If I hadn't been waiting for my dad and the others, I would have married you home last year. Maybe our first child would have been born by this time."
Zheng Juan's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment and said: "I hate it."
Zhou Chen's expression suddenly became extremely serious, he held Zheng Juan's shoulders with both hands and looked at her with burning eyes.
"Juan'er, if you marry me, I can't guarantee that you will be the happiest woman in the world, but I can guarantee that I will do my best to make you a happy woman. Are you willing to believe me?"
Zheng Juan's shy look slowly calmed down and she said equally seriously: "Believe it, I believe it."
Holding Zheng Juan in his arms again, Zhou Chen hugged her tightly, this silly girl.
In terms of knowledge, Zheng Juan is not as good as any of his previous women, but Zheng Juan's qualities are also unique.
Zheng Juan’s strength, filial piety, hard work and simplicity.
She was willing to give up her future and a difficult life for her mother and blind brother, but she was not aggrieved at all. She was still positive and wanted to work hard to make money and change her family.
Zhou Chen's appearance was like a light in her life, illuminating her.
If Zhou Chen only liked her and was unfriendly to her mother and brother, she would not fall in love with Zhou Chen.
But Zhou Chen was not only very kind to her, but also very kind to her mother and brother. He tried every means to give them money and help them.
Under such a gentle offensive, she slowly sank.
"I'm going to take my mother to see the house over there tomorrow. You can come with me then."
"Um."
"The day is the sixth day of the first lunar month, Juan'er, you have to be prepared. There are only a few days left in your single life."
Zheng Juan responded with joy and shame. She felt that if she could become Zhou Chen's wife, it would be the happiest thing in the world. She must have been a kind person in her previous life and had done many good deeds in exchange for good things in this life.
transport.
Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan were affectionate for a while, but because the weather was too cold, he was not afraid, but he didn't want Zheng Juan to freeze, so he asked Zheng Juan to go back and left alone.
Not far from Zheng Juan's house, Zhou Chen suddenly frowned and saw two strangers suddenly standing in front of him, blocking the way of his bicycle.
It was already dark at this time, and he couldn't see the specific appearance of the other party, but judging from their burly figures, he knew they were not easy to mess with.
"You two, whether you are seeking money or something else, you have found the wrong person."
He had heard about the chaos in Taiping Hutong many times, and he had been to Taiping Hutong many times, but this was the first time he was stopped.
Not to mention two big men, even if there are two more men, he is still not afraid. If there is a fight, he will let them know why the flowers are so red.
"Don't get me wrong, we are not trying to rob you, but we have a business to discuss with you."
Two men walked a few steps, and one of them, who was walking slowly and slowly and seemed to have problems with his legs and feet, said softly.
After the two people got closer, Zhou Chen saw their faces clearly.
His eyes swept over the man who spoke, and he could clearly tell that he was a lame man.
Although he is lame, he wears a woolen coat and a red and gray scarf, has fair skin, and looks very delicate.
If you don't look at his lameness and just look at his appearance, he is definitely a handsome man.
The other person next to him was far different. He was tall and thick, with a thick face, a long donkey face, and fierce eyes. You could tell at a glance that he was not a good person.
Zhou Chen couldn't figure out where they were coming from. After hearing what the lame man said, he sneered: "They blocked my way in the middle of the night and said they wanted to discuss business. Is there anyone who talks about business like this?"
"Boy, why are you talking to me, Brother Shui? Believe it or not, I'll do it..."
"Binzi."
The donkey-faced man angrily pointed at Zhou Chen and wanted to scold him, but was stopped by the lame man.
"Brother, we do not mean any harm. The reason why we come to you at this time is naturally ours, but I promise that we are serious about business."
Zhou Chen did not speak, but looked at the two people. From their conversation just now, he heard important information.
Brother Shui, Binzi.
If it were in other worlds, he wouldn't think there was any problem with these two titles, but in this world, these two titles would make sense.
Water flows by itself, Luo Shibin.
Zhou Chen guessed the identity of these two people at once. Coupled with their behavior and lameness, there should be no such coincidence in this world of light.
After watching this drama in the world, if I want to say who makes him the most unhappy, Zhou Rong is one, and the other is Luo Shibin. As for Zhou Bingyi, Feng Yue, Zhou Nan, etc., compared to these two, they are already very normal.
of people.
Even if Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao are blackened, their behavior is disgusting, but it is definitely not as disgusting as these two people.
Anyway, when Zhou Chen was watching TV through the system, the person he wanted to kill most was Luo Shibin. That was because the law was not sound at the time and Zheng Juan did not report it. Otherwise, Luo Shibin's death would not be enough.
After understanding the identities of Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin, Zhou Chen's face immediately turned cold.
Shui Ziliu is naturally much better than Luo Shibin, but he is Luo Shibin's brother, so it is difficult for Zhou Chen to have a good impression of him. At best, he can only be regarded as not hating him.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Zhou Chen's mind, and then he pretended that nothing happened and looked at Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin indifferently.
"Do you know who I am?"
Shui Ziliu said: "Of course we know. If we didn't know, we wouldn't be waiting for you here."
Zhou Chen nodded and said: "You stopped me in the middle of the night and wanted to discuss business with me. I guess the business you are talking about must be shady, right?"
"Why the hell do you talk so much nonsense?"
Luo Shibin was very dissatisfied with Zhou Chen's careless look, so he pointed at Zhou Chen and started scolding him.
At this time, Zhou Chen had already stopped the bicycle. The moment Luo Shibin's finger pointed in front of him, he suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Luo Shibin's finger, and twisted it hard.
"ah!"
Luo Shibin let out a shrill scream, and the severe pain from his broken finger made him bend down in pain. Zhou Chen kicked him in the chest, and the tall and thick Luo Shibin was kicked and rolled several meters away.
"you……"
This sudden scene made Shui Ziliu pale with horror, and he was about to take action immediately, but Zhou Chen looked at him fiercely, with a fierce look in his eyes, which frightened him to a halt.
"Do you want to end up with him?"
Shui Ziliu swallowed. Although he was the boss, Luo Shibin was the one responsible for the combat power of the two of them. Even Luo Shibin was knocked down by Zhou Chen. He didn't want to humiliate himself.
"Brother, are you too cruel to do this?"
A sneer appeared on Zhou Chen's lips: "Do you think that since I work in a publishing house and am a cultural person, I won't hit people?"
"You know, what I don't like the most is someone pointing their finger at me and saying dirty words. I don't like to do it, but it doesn't mean I won't do it. What I did just now was still light. If you say something rude again, it won't be a break.
It’s as simple as a finger.”
Faced with Zhou Chen's threat, coupled with Zhou Chen's violent methods just now, and Luo Shibin who fell to the ground and hadn't gotten up yet, Shui Ziliu didn't even dare to refute.
Although giving Luo Shibin a good beating would make him angry, but thinking about what Luo Shibin did in the TV series, it is not something that can be solved by giving Luo Shibin a good beating.
"Tell me, you came to me in the middle of the night, what kind of business do you have to discuss?"
Shui Ziliu was originally going to take Luo Shibin away, but who knew that Zhou Chen actually talked about business again, his eyes flashed, and in the end he was driven by profit.
"You are right. Our business is indeed shady. You must have heard of ticket scalping, right?"
"Are you talking about the black market for reselling food stamps, meat stamps, industrial papers, etc.?"
"Yes, this is what we do."
"I shouldn't have any interaction with you, right? Why did you come to me?"
"Because you have money."
Zhou Chen was startled by Shui Ziliu's words, and he asked: "How did you know that I am rich?"
Shui Ziliu said: "A while ago, we saw with our own eyes that you were dragging two fans of pork. If you didn't have money, you wouldn't be able to afford two fans of pork. Also, Tu Zhiqiang is our brother. We once
I heard him talk about you."
"It turns out that you and Tu Zhiqiang still know each other."
Zhou Chen looked like "I see", but when he brought back the pork on a tricycle, he did cause a lot of commotion, and they knew it was normal for the water to flow.
"Then you came to me because you were interested in my money?"
Glancing at Luo Shibin, who was still humming on the ground, Shui Ziliu quickly retorted: "No, you misunderstood. We are looking for you to do business. If you have money, we can get tickets. I think we can make a deal."
"You want me to scalp votes with you?"
Zhou Chen looked shocked. He didn't have time to hide from such a thing. How could he do it?
"No, that's not the case. We got the tickets and sold them to you. It was a one-sided transaction. We were the ones scalping the tickets and had nothing to do with you."
Shui Ziliu knew very well that this kind of thing was shady. Zhou Chen was the editor of a publishing house and had a bright future. How could he do such a shady thing with them?
Zhou Chen wanted to refuse, but suddenly thought of something, stopped in time, and then started thinking seriously.
