Zhu Na pushed him and said, "Go to the night market and buy me clothes. I can't go home like this..."
Chen Chu thought about it and realized that Zhu Na's pants were torn. When she put them on just now, Zhu Na had to tear off the two pant legs, turning them into white shorts.
There was a night market in the county town, but it had already closed by the time they arrived. They casually bought a pair of pants, which Zhu Na tried on and found fit; it didn't cost much.
Zhu Na seemed like a different person, appearing quite happy. Perhaps the experience of the night had matured her considerably? Chen Chu wondered, feeling a bit puzzled.
When they arrived at Zhu Na's house, Chen Chu didn't go in. Zhu Na got out of the car, said goodbye to him, and went inside. Chen Chu didn't leave immediately but stopped for a while. He heard Zhu Na's mother shouting from inside, "You brat, where have you been?"
"It's none of your business!"
"I don't care about you? I'm your mother, and you think I don't care about you? You brat, speak up! Who brought you back? You...where did you go?"
"Chen Chu gave it to me, so what?"
"Why...why are you back so late?"
"It's none of your business! Ouch, Mom, why are you pinching me? And why are you pinching me so hard? I'm your daughter, your own flesh and blood, how can you pinch me like this..."
After a while, the lights came on in Zhu Na's little house. Chen Chu saw that she was about to take off her clothes, so he quickly covered the curtains.
"Phew..." Chen Chu pushed the motorcycle for a while, thinking to himself that they really were mother and daughter, and there was no grudge between them. However, he still couldn't understand it, so he went straight to Old Man Zhang.
Pushing open the door, I saw the old man looking at a poster. It showed a woman with her buttocks exposed, wearing very small panties, and the old man seemed to be licking the woman's breasts.
"Cough cough... Old man, did I come at the wrong time?"
Old Zhang was stunned for a moment, then cursed, "Bullshit! I just have bad eyesight, I can't see clearly. What are you doing here so late? What do you want to do at this hour?"
Chen Chu laughed, thinking to himself, "What can I do to you?"
"Old man, there's something I can't figure out." Chen Chu threw some more firewood into his stove and told him about Cao Zhuna.
Old Zhang clicked his tongue and then said, "There's nothing I can't figure out. Women are all materialistic and vain. But I can't say it's just women; everyone is materialistic, including men. They'll fawn over anyone who benefits them, and of course they'll look down on anyone who's unimportant."
Chen Chu nodded: "Did I think too highly of Zhu Na before?"
"Well, actually, Liu He is very hard to win over. Zhu Na is stubborn, but she is also materialistic. Otherwise, her mother would be selling herself outside to give her a comfortable life, and she would want to find a rich man in the future. The reason she hasn't found a partner yet is because she is too young, and another reason is that she hasn't met anyone with truly good conditions. She looks down on people from the countryside. So if you want to be with her for a long time, you have to move to the city. You can't keep her in the countryside. There's a saying that it's easy to conquer a country but hard to govern it. The same goes for women. It's easy to win them over but hard to keep them."
"Phew...maybe that's true."
"Donkey, look at Zhu Na, she's completely different after you won her over. Once you've laid a hand on a woman, she'll behave. If you don't, she'll be smug all the time, thinking about you constantly. She's smug before you lay a hand on her, but after you've laid a hand on her and used up all that stuff, does she still smug? She'll be all droopy and listless!"
"Hehe... Old man, that's how it is. By the way, why did you say that Liu He was hard to handle? I feel like she's not as stubborn as Zhu Na." Chen Chu immediately pictured Liu He in his mind. She also had short hair, but her eyes were bigger than Zhu Na's.
Her skin wasn't as milky white as Juna's, but rather as white as a Russian's, with a rosy complexion. She had a rather thin face and slightly sunken eyes, giving her a foreign look. She was a pretty standard-looking girl. Her height used to be similar to Juna's, but now she was slimmer and more slender than Juna.
She doesn't usually attract much attention; she's a bit of a tomboy, likes to laugh and joke around, and enjoys playing around. This might make people forget that she's a girl, let alone a beautiful one.
Old Zhang got out of bed, pulled a roasted potato out of the stove, coughed twice, brushed off the ash, broke it open, took a bite, and said, "That girl's appearance is rather unlucky for husbands. Look at her high cheekbones. People like that are strong-willed and stubborn. Today you forced yourself on Zhu Na. She has never experienced a relationship before. Before being roughed up, she was flustered and scared, but after being roughed up, she felt comfortable and good."
If it were Liu He, it would be troublesome. Looking at that girl's face, if you roughed her, she might actually jump into the river. Hmm, to deal with her, you need to win her over; strategy is key. But that girl is a jinx to husbands, so forget it. Any man who touches her is doomed…"
"Phew..." Chen Chu chuckled and said, "Old man, no way, what kind of woman is a jinx to her husband? Besides, Wang Wei used to joke around with her, and he didn't do anything to her, did he?"
"Sigh, she's just not romantically inclined yet! If she really falls for someone, or if you actually pursue her and sleep with her, you're in for trouble!"
...
Chen Chu stayed with Old Zhang for a while longer before going home. He couldn't understand why Liu He was so strange, but in the end, his joy at sleeping with Zhu Na replaced his worries.
But what this girl said makes sense. He doesn't have much money, and he can't afford to support a woman in the future. He can't let a woman look down on him!
Chen Chu drifted off to sleep, but got up early the next morning to practice his boxing as usual. The bruises on his body from being beaten by Qi Dongdong and his gang the day before were quickly healed after applying Zhang Laotou's oil.
At this moment, Ma Huaqiang called and said, "Brother Chu, it's not working, we still haven't found Zhu Na..."
"Damn it!" Chen Chu slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten about this kid. What was Zhu Na even looking for? He'd already slept with her.
"Hmm...I found it, come back!"
Ma Huaqiang agreed, his voice tinged with regret. Chen Chu had been found? Those two people? Ma Huaqiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, realizing his chances were over.
After finishing his noodles for breakfast, Dad said with a smile, "The village will build a house for us in a few days, a three-room brick house, and we won't have to pay a single penny..."
"Mm." Chen Chu nodded.
The old man said again, "Donkey, I didn't expect your aimless wandering around the village wouldn't be so bad after all. You even managed to get a few houses for our family. These three brick houses will cost over 30,000 yuan to build!" Chen Dejiang said, chuckling as he took another sip of his drink. (In 2000, prices were lower; now, even 100,000 yuan wouldn't be enough to build three brick houses.)
After Chen Chu finished eating, he rode his motorcycle to class. Just as he reached the village entrance, he saw Zhu Na riding her bicycle slowly forward. Her legs were indeed slightly splayed as she rode.
Upon seeing Chen Chu, she immediately turned her face away, as if she didn't recognize him, her expression cold.
"Juna, I'll carry you to class..."
"No need, you ride yours. I'm telling you, Chen Chu, you... you better not go around telling everyone. Don't let a third person know about what happened between us, or I'll hate you for the rest of my life..."
"Okay, I understand."
"Also, when you go to school, don't always go against me and do the opposite of what I say. Also, stop hanging out with Lu Xiaoqiao and Wang Hongmei all the time. Isn't that disgusting?"
"Hmm, is there anything else?"
"Yes, but don't argue with me about anything. What's the point? Would it kill you to just give in to me? You'd go crazy if you kept this up!"
Chen Chu smiled: "Zhu Na, I promise you everything. If you become my wife, I'll promise you anything in the future."
"You're so lucky! You're not giving me anything, yet you want me to be your... You're dreaming." Zhu Na pouted her red lips, and Chen Chu's erection returned as he watched.
"Zhuna, then you shouldn't contact that scoundrel Wang Wei either. He doesn't seem like a good person."
"You think you're the only one who isn't a hooligan? You think you're a good person? I think you're more of a hooligan than anyone else! Get up and make way! A good dog doesn't block the way! Whoever blocks the way is a little dog!" Zhu Na pushed him with her arm, got on her bicycle, and slowly rode away.
"Phew..." Chen Chu really didn't know what to say to her. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Wang Wei also come out of the door. The kid's injury had healed a bit. A few days ago, his arm was still in a cast. When he saw Zhu Na, he hurriedly chased after her like a fly buzzing around a cow's rear end.
"Juna! Wait for me, hehe..."
I'm so rough!
Chen Chu chased after them on his motorcycle, and only made his move when he was quite far from the village entrance. By this time, Zhu Na was already extremely annoyed, while Wang Wei was still sticking his head out and talking to her while chuckling.
Chen Chu caught up from behind and grabbed him by the collar.
"Zhuna, you go first," Chen Chu said.
Zhu Na rolled her eyes at him, then smiled slightly at Wang Wei and said, "Wang Wei, bye-bye..."
Chen Chu was furious, thinking, "That damn woman, she's such a slut," but then he thought, "She's alright now, unlike before when she spoke up for Wang Wei."
At this moment, Wang Wei nudged Chen Chu's arm and said, "Chen Chu, what business is it of yours if I'm talking to Zhu Na? Are you trying to bother me?"
"Damn it! Wang Wei, you're just asking for a beating!" Chen Chu was really at his wit's end. There are people like this in the world. Unless you kill him, he'll just cause trouble for no reason. You beat him up and he won't learn his lesson. You beat him up again and he'll still be the same.
"Damn it..." Chen Chu kicked over his bicycle, got off the motorcycle, and kicked him in the stomach with both feet.
Wang Wei bent over in pain, groaning in pain.
Chen Chu cursed, "Fuck you, you better remember this: from now on, you're not allowed to talk to Zhu Na on your way to and from school. Stay far away from her, understand? If you don't, I'll teach you a lesson!" As Chen Chu spoke, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
Wang Wei covered his head with one hand, sniffed, and said somewhat reluctantly, "I'll remember."
Just as Chen Chu nodded and turned around, he heard Wang Wei mutter under his breath, "Remember your mother's ass..."
Holy crap! This is amazing!
Chen Chu grabbed his collar and kicked him twice more. Wang Wei grimaced, his thighs aching from the kicks. Chen Chu didn't hit any vital areas, after all, they were from the same village and were classmates. This guy wasn't as skilled as Yan San; if you didn't go all out against him, he would go all out to kill you.
Wang Wei was kicked and cried, mainly because he felt so aggrieved, always being beaten up.
"Damn it! What the hell are you crying for, you grown man?!"
Chen Chu got a little angry when he saw him looking so frustrated.
Wang Wei grinned: "Why do you keep hitting me? Zhu Na isn't your wife, why won't you let me talk to her!"
Chen Chu snorted and said, "Wang Wei, Zhu Na is my wife. She agreed to be my wife yesterday, so do you understand? If you try to seduce my wife again, I'll break your legs. You don't believe me? Just try it..."
