The world of film and television begins from childhood

After the breakup, Yao Yuling didn't seem to have changed at all. She was still the same as usual, smiling, posing and looking so cool.

But Niu Dali was different. He didn't even go to work and took a leave of absence for half a month. He stayed in his room all day, never going out and even skipping meals.

Several groups of neighbors have tried to persuade Niu Dali, but to no avail. Even the older generation members such as Wang Yongge went to find Yao Yuling.

But Yao Yuling was very determined and was unwilling to persuade Niu Dali. She had already made up her mind not to be with Niu Dali anymore and didn't want to give him even a little hope.

When a woman becomes heartless, she is truly more heartless than anything else.

Of course, in Zhou Chen's opinion, Yao Yuling's attitude is actually better for Niu Dali, because if Yao Yuling gives in and goes to find Niu Dali, it may have a counterproductive effect. This kind of cold and indifferent treatment is a good thing for Niu Dali.

Wang Xin and Cai Xiaonian also went to persuade him, but it didn't work. They also went to find Zhou Chen, as they thought Zhou Chen was very capable and might be able to convince Niu Dali.

But Zhou Chen just sneered and said, "No, if he can't even get over this little setback, then he is not worthy of being a man."

Wang Xin and Cai Xiaonian could only sigh. They also thought that the current situation of Niu Dali and Yao Yuling was normal, but Niu Dali just couldn't see clearly. What else could they do? They could only send him some food every day.

A few days later, Niu Dali finally went out. He packed up his things and went to everyone's house one by one, calling Wang Xin, Cai Xiaonian and Zhou Chen.

The foursome went to the hotel together.

Inside the restaurant, Niu Dali raised his glass.

"Zhou Chen, Wang Xin, Xiaonian, thank you for your care over the years. Without you, my life would be very boring. Come, I toast to you. Drink first."

"This second cup is for you guys. You guys have been really concerned about my affairs, and I've blamed you. I'm really sorry."

"The third cup......"

"The fourth cup......"

After several cups in a row, Niu Dali's mouth seemed to be enlightened all of a sudden. He became particularly talkative and good at speaking. He toasted one cup after another. Zhou Chen and the other two looked at each other and drank with him.

The meal lasted until very late, and the four of them came out of the restaurant, staggering along the street.

Niu Dali yelled even louder.

"I've decided to go to the South and try my luck."

"vigorously……"

"Don't try to persuade me. I know you all look down on me, but I, Niu Dali, have never been inferior to others in my life. If others can make a name for themselves in the South, I, Niu Dali, can do the same..."

"..."

After that night, Niu Dali quit his job as deputy train driver at the Railway Bureau. On a windy, dark and moonlit night, he packed up his things, traveled lightly, and quietly walked out of the compound alone.

Walking out of the compound and looking at the gate of the compound, he clenched his hands tightly.

"Wait for me. Soon, I, Niu Dali, will be able to come back in glory. Wait for me, Yao'er..."

Zhou Chen saw Niu Dali when he walked out of the compound, but he did not disturb him. He just stood in front of his window and watched Niu Dali leave quietly.

In fact, he felt that Niu Dali's departure was a good choice. Given Niu Dali's personality, it might be more awkward for him to continue staying in the compound. Instead, it would be more free and easy for him to leave.

Niu Dali's departure caused discussion among the neighbors in the compound for a few days, but after a few days, few people mentioned it anymore.

Even if they are neighbors in the same compound, it is impossible for them to miss him every day. Everyone has his or her own life, and their own life is tiring enough. How can they have too much energy to think about someone who has passed away every day?

Ma Yan’s button business is doing well. It can’t be said that the sales are very popular, but according to her, she makes more money than selling pickles in the store. Most importantly, she feels that she has found her goal and direction, which she could not feel when selling pickles.

So she is very excited and passionate now. If she was not worried about being discovered by Ma Kui, she would definitely go to a busier street to set up a stall.

But, too much joy leads to sorrow.

Not long after, Ma Kui found out that she didn't go to work and was selling buttons at a stall.

The angry Ma Kui saw Ma Yan's stall and, regardless of the looks from the people around him, walked over and overturned Ma Yan's stall.

"Come back with me, now, immediately."

Just a few months after his wife passed away, his daughter did such a big thing without telling him. Ma Kui was so angry that he was about to explode.

Ma Yan didn't expect that she would be exposed so quickly, nor did she expect her father to be so ruthless and overturn her stall. She did not panic too much, but calmly cleaned up the mess and slowly picked up her buttons.

It had been a long time since Ma Kui returned home when he saw Ma Yan coming back with her suitcase. Ma Kui was so angry that he yelled and scolded her.

When Peng Yongli came back from get off work, she was startled as she heard Ma Kui's roar as soon as she entered the house.

"Second Dad, Sister, what are you doing?"

Peng Yongli's appearance made Ma Kui's anger stagnate, but he quickly reacted and asked Peng Yongli, "Lili, did you know that your sister didn't go to work and set up a stall to sell buttons?"

"me……"

Peng Yongli immediately panicked and looked at Ma Yan unconsciously. Seeing Ma Yan winking at her, she stammered.

"Second Dad, I know."

When Ma Kui heard this, his head started buzzing and he slammed the table.

"Okay, okay, you know, it's really good, you two sisters teamed up to deceive me, right? Do you still take me seriously?"

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not get angry with Peng Yongli, but at this moment he was so angry that he could not control his emotions at all and yelled in rage.

Peng Yongli and Ma Yan were both trembling with fear. It was the first time for both of them to see Ma Kui so irrationally furious. Their legs went weak and they dared not speak.

"Come on, you are all capable, why are you silent? Ma Yan, tell me, why do you leave your good job and do speculation? Do you want to embarrass me? If you do this, will your mother rest in peace?"

Ma Yan, who was admitting her mistake and lowering her head not daring to speak, suddenly heard her father mention her mother. She raised her head abruptly with a sharp look in her eyes.

"Dad, what right do you have to say that? My mom..."

At Zhou Chen's home, he and Wang Xin were discussing a case when suddenly Peng Yongli rushed in.

"Zhou Chen, my second father and my sister are arguing, go and mediate."

"what?"

Wang Xin stood up suddenly and asked in surprise: "Ma Yan and Uncle Ma are arguing, why?"

Peng Yongli said hurriedly: "My second father found out that my sister didn't go to work to set up a stall. Don't ask any more questions. Go over there quickly. I'm afraid that my second father will get angry and hit my sister."

Wang Xin rushed out in a flash, while Zhou Chen stood up leisurely. It was Peng Yongli who came over to pull him back in a hurry.

"Don't worry, the door isn't closed yet, Lili, your clothes are torn."

Zhou Chen was dragged to the Ma family by Peng Yongli.

When Zhou Chen arrived at the Ma family, he saw Ma Kui and Wang Xin already pushing and shoving each other. Of course, it was Ma Kui who was abusing Wang Xin, and Wang Xin was just defending himself awkwardly. Ma Yan was also trying hard to separate them.

"What's going on, Uncle Ma?"

Hearing the voice, Ma Kui turned around and saw Zhou Chen, then he snorted coldly and let go.

Wang Xin stepped back hurriedly, hugging his arms and taking a deep breath. This old Ma was too cruel. He couldn't bear to hit his own daughter, so he used him as a punching bag and was really merciless.

Ma Kui glanced at Zhou Chen unhappily and snorted, "You also know about Ma Yan's business stall, right?"

"know."

"Why didn't you tell me if you knew? I thought you were more mature and farsighted than them. Why did you follow them in making trouble?"

Ma Kui was very angry. On the one hand, he was angry that Ma Yan did not go to work to do business. On the other hand, he was also angry that several people teamed up to deceive him.

Zhou Chen said: "Uncle Ma, you really can't blame me. Ma Yan and the others told me this because they believed in me. As a friend, I can't betray them, right?"

"You can't betray them, so you keep it from me? Fine, you're all grown up now, don't you think I can't control you anymore?"

Ma Kui was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring. He has been in a bad mood since his wife passed away. Today, he was so angry with a few people that he wanted to hit someone.

Chapter 1382 Plot deviation, another year

Facing Ma Kui's roar, Ma Yan, Wang Xin and Peng Yongli all lowered their heads and dared not refute.

One of them is Ma Kui's biological daughter, one is his goddaughter, and the other is his apprentice. If Ma Kui is really angry, they really dare not resist.

Only Zhou Chen maintained a nonchalant attitude. To be honest, he was still Ma Kui's leader.

"Uncle Ma, don't get angry. Anger is bad for your health. You can sit down and talk about anything slowly. Besides, Ma Yan is already in her twenties. It's normal for her to have her own ideas."

Ma Kui yelled, "So what if she's in her twenties? Even if she's in her thirties, she's still my daughter and has to listen to me."

Ma Yan's eyes were red, and she raised her head in dissatisfaction: "Why, Dad, why can't I make the decision on my own job? You are just too stubborn. Now it's different from before. There are self-employed people doing business everywhere, and the country has also begun to promote it. You are the only one who still holds on to the old ideas."

"What's wrong with my old-fashioned thinking? I've lived for so long and experienced so many upheavals. I understand people and things better than you do. There are many businessmen who make money, but there are even more who lose everything. You only see the good, not the bad."

Ma Kui was not as excited as before, but he was still very unhappy.

"Having a peaceful and stable job is the best choice. Even if you can't make a fortune, isn't it good to have a stable life for your family?"

"It's good to have a stable life, but can it be the same now as before? I want to make money for a better life, right? Maybe you think I'm greedy, but that's because I know what it's like to live without money. Do you know how mom and I got through the ten years you were away?"

"You don't know, we..."

Thinking of those ten years of difficult life, Ma Yan couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears. If it weren't for those ten years, how could her mother have gotten cancer?

When the past was mentioned again, Ma Kui's momentum suddenly weakened a little. Those ten years were the most painful time in his life, not only for him, but also for his family.

Ma Kui sat dejectedly on the sofa. Seeing this, Zhou Chen quickly signaled to Wang Xin to persuade Ma Yan to stop talking, and then he sat next to Ma Kui.

"Uncle Ma..."

"Don't say it."

Ma Kui did not give Zhou Chen a chance to speak. He raised his hand to stop him and stood up.

"Yan'er, I know I was sorry for you in the past, but I am doing this for your own good. Doing business is not as easy as you think. You should give up now and go back to work. Otherwise, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my daughter."

After saying that, he slammed the door angrily and left home.

"Second dad."

Peng Yongli went out to chase him, but Ma Kui quickly left the compound.

Ma Yan and Wang Xin both had sad faces. They both knew that this time Ma Kui was really angry, which was different from before.

"What should we do?" Wang Xin asked worriedly.

Ma Yan was very determined: "No matter what, I will not give up anyway. I am really tired of selling pickles and don't want to do it anymore. I must continue to do business and make money."

Wang Xin looked helpless. This father and daughter pair were truly his nemesis. He couldn't handle either of them. He could only look at Zhou Chen for help.

"Zhou Chen, give me some advice."

"Ask me if you can't figure it out?"

Wang Xin smiled brightly, and Ma Yan pulled Peng Yongli.

"Lili, please help me to speak up for him. Zhou Chen will definitely have a way."

Zhou Chen laughed. Ma Yan was quite smart and knew that if Peng Yongli asked for mercy, he would definitely agree.

But he wasn't going to refuse, he just wanted to tease them.

"Uncle Ma is a man who only responds to soft tactics and not to hard tactics. Ma Yan, you can't be soft, and it's useless for Wang Xin to be soft. So if you want to break the deadlock, you have to ask for external help."

"foreign aid?"

Wang Xin looked surprised: "With Uncle Ma's temper, who else can convince him except Auntie?"

Ma Yan also nodded in agreement: "Yes, if my mother were still alive, it might be possible, but now, alas."

Zhou Chen didn't keep the secret any longer and said directly: "You can find Uncle Peng."

"My dad?" Now it was Peng Yongli's turn to be stunned.

"Yes, my future father-in-law is doing well in the fur business. He and Uncle Ma are old friends. He has been doing business for more than half a year and is doing well. It would be much better to invite him to talk to Uncle Ma than forcing him to do anything."

Zhou Chen's words made Ma Yan's eyes light up, and she clapped her hands: "That's right, my dad has such a good relationship with Uncle Peng. Uncle Peng even quit his job as a prison warden and went into business. Doesn't this prove the problem even more? If he comes forward, he will definitely be able to convince my dad."

Wang Xin opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Ma Yan and Peng Yongli didn't know what was going on with Peng Mingjie, but how could he not know? Peng Mingjie didn't give up his job as prison warden voluntarily.

But of course he couldn't say this, and he also felt that letting Peng Mingjie persuade Ma Kui might not be a bad choice.

"You can try it."

Seeing that Ma Yan and Wang Xin had no objections, Peng Yongli asked tentatively: "Then should I call my dad and ask?"

Ma Yan and Wang Xin both nodded.

Peng Yongli immediately contacted her father. Peng Mingjie was now busy with his business, but he agreed immediately when his daughter called him. Within two days, he rushed to Ningyang.
