Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

"Xiulian, wait, let's take a shower first, okay? Even if we have to do this, let's do it after we shower, okay? I'm covered in sweat, I don't want to do this."

"Then promise me you won't leave."

"Okay, I promise you. You take a shower first, and after you're done, we'll go back to the room and do it."

"That's more like it."

Xiulian went into the bathroom, and Dingyang lit a cigarette.

Damn it, bro, we were so disobedient that we almost let her get away with it?

The rushing water disturbed Ding Yang's thoughts.

Suddenly, Ding Yang stood up, secretly opened the door, and rushed downstairs.

Damn it, this girl has gone crazy today. If it were any other woman, I would just sleep with her and be done with it, but this is Old Li's daughter. Once I sleep with her, the situation is completely different. There's no way to avoid it.

Ding Yang took off running.

Xiulian was in the bathroom when she seemed to hear the door open. She came out wrapped in a bath towel.

There was no one left in the living room; Ding Yang had already run away.

"Ding Yang, I curse your ancestors...you coward..."

Xiulian cursed loudly

Then, like a wounded little tigress, she lay motionless on the sofa.

When Ding Yang returned to the shop, his mind was blank. What had just happened?

"Ding Yang, why are you back so soon?"

"It's nothing, I just went to check on things in the community."

"David, I'm going to the bank."

"oh!"

Ding Yang rode his motorcycle to the Agricultural Bank.

Arriving at the bank counter, holding the bank card,

"Hello, I'd like to withdraw 5 yuan in cash."

A short while later, Ding Yang took out 5 yuan in cash, and the 50 yuan in his bank card became 45 yuan.

He then rode his motorcycle back to the shop.

Ding Yang took out 25,000 yuan.

"Dawei, take this money. Come with me to see the landlord later. This is for the car. Give it to him and tell him you bought it."

"What do you mean?"

"I told you this shop is yours from now on, and this car is yours too. The car belongs to the landlord, but I'll tell you later that you can buy it."

"Ding Yang, what's going on?"

"Listen to me, I don't want to have anything to do with his family anymore. Xiulian wants to pursue me, but I can't have anything to do with her. Just do as I say."

"Ding Yang, even if I get this car, I don't have the money right now."

"Take it or not, it's yours."

"Damn it, even brothers should keep clear accounts. I can't do that. I'm fine with making money with you, but I can't openly take your money."

"Okay, you can pay me back when you have the money later, okay?"

"Okay!"

Just then, Old Chen called again, asking for two tons of cement.

"Dawei, get back to work. I'll give your number to Lao Chen later so he can call you in the future."

"Let's go!"

"Ding Yang, my leg still hurts."

"You have to do it even if it hurts. Think about the cost of your child's formula."

"Damn it, let's go!"

Ding Yang drove to the building materials market to load cement and then delivered it to the construction site.

"Dawei, this is an apartment building with an elevator. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go buy a pack of cigarettes."

"oh!"

Ding Yang went to the convenience store and bought two packs of Furongwang cigarettes.

He then offered the cigarette to Old Chen.

"Old Chen, this is my brother Dawei. He'll be working with me from now on. I have to go back to my hometown in a few days for some business. I'll send his phone number to your phone. Call him if you need anything."

"Okay, no problem."

Ding Yang hardened his heart and watched Dawei do the work without lifting a finger himself, because Dawei would have to work alone sooner or later, and there was no need to pity him. Dongguan didn't need pity.

David finished his work at 5 p.m.

"Ding Yang, I feel like I'm about to die, and you're not even helping me."

"What's this? It's just two tons of cement. I even added three cubic meters of sand on the first day of drying, and it's a walk-up building."

"Let me tell you, in Dongguan, there is no such thing as tears or sympathy. As long as you're not dead, you have to work yourself to the bone, until you die, because all suffering comes from living longer."

"Don't think about sleeping or resting until the work is finished. After you die, you'll have plenty of time to rest."

"Wow!"

"If you want to be successful, you have to endure hardship. Now that you have a wife and children, you have even less right to rest."

"Ding Yang, in the blink of an eye, you've become a successful person."

Success is like being pregnant; everyone congratulates you, but who knows how many times you've been trampled on behind your back?

"Wow, brilliant!"

Let's go!

"I'm going to sign up for driving lessons tomorrow. I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow."

"Going back so soon?"

"To be honest, I miss my grandparents and I'm eager to go back. If you're here, do whatever work you can, and if you don't have any, rest first and go learn to drive. The rent is 500 yuan a month, which isn't expensive."

"We'll pay a little more for water and electricity now that we're using the air conditioner. It's not a big deal. We don't have an electricity meter yet, so I'll just give you 300."

"Dawei, is there anything you need me to bring for your parents?"

"I don't have much to bring. To be honest, I'm almost thinking of going back, but what's the point of going back in this pathetic state?"

"Ding Yang, do you have any extra money on you?"

"What's wrong?"

"If you still have any, just lend me 1 yuan so I can take it to my parents."

"Okay! I'm going back now. I'll give it to your parents."

"Thanks, bro!"

"We don't need to be so polite between us."

The two drove back to the store.

David then went to take a shower.

Around 6 p.m., Ding Yang and Dawei carried a bag of fruit to the second floor next door.

"Aunt Tian!"

"Xiao Yang!"

"Auntie, this is my childhood friend Dawei."

Dawei said, "Hello, Aunt Tian!"

"Hello!"

Is Uncle Li home?

"Yes, we're eating right now. Please come in."

"Come on in, why do you always buy so much fruit?"

"Auntie, I didn't buy this fruit today, Dawei bought it."

"Oh, you're too kind."

As soon as he entered the living room, Old Li got up and came over.

"Xiaoyang, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"We've eaten, we've already eaten."

"Uncle Li, this is my childhood friend Dawei. I'm transferring this shop to him from now on."

"Oh...you're not doing it anymore?"

"Uncle, I'll do it too. I got a job in Songgang. I'll go there to watch the shop, and he'll stay here."

"Oh! Great, your business is getting bigger and bigger."

"where!"

Dawei offered cigarettes to Lao Li and Ding Yang.

"Sit down! Sit down!"

David took out 25000 yuan.

Ding Yang said, "Uncle Li, this is 25000 yuan. You sold the car to me cheaply back then, and Xiulian spent another 2300 yuan on insurance later. Now I'm transferring this shop to Dawei, so this money is yours to him."

"Xiao Yang, we agreed on 20,008, you gave me too much."

"Uncle, I've never bought a car before, and I don't want you to suffer too much of a loss, so let's just leave it at that."

Old Li said, "Alright, but I wanted to tell you last time that this license plate is registered under my name. Since you bought it, it would be better to transfer it to your name."

"Even close brothers should keep clear accounts. If you have time tomorrow, come with me to the vehicle management office to transfer the vehicle registration. It's in Chang'an, not far away."

"OK!"

"Uncle, if you ever need any business opportunities in the future, I hope you can recommend me. Dawei is my brother, so please let him do any work you need."

"Okay, no problem. I appreciate your hard work."
