As for Chen Jianghe, he is even more wild. He runs here and there. You can hardly see him here usually. He is looking for opportunities to make money everywhere. Naturally, it is impossible for him to live in Chenjia Village every day.

It has been nearly half a year since Zhou Chen returned to Yiwu. Although there has been no substantial breakthrough in his relationship with Luo Yuzhu, they have already recognized each other. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be a matter of course.

There is still a long time before the forty years of the main mission, so Zhou Chen is not in a hurry to get married, but slowly develops feelings with Luo Yuzhu.

Because this is a project that the county pays special attention to, Zhou Chen and his team's construction speed is naturally very fast. In just a few months, it has taken shape.

That day, Zhou Chen was working in the office. Qiaogu walked in and poured him a glass of water. Then she didn't leave, but just lingered there as if she had something to say but didn't open her mouth.

Although Zhou Chen was working, Qiaogu's little movements naturally did not escape his eyes.

"Qiaogu, what's wrong? Just tell me what's going on."

"elder brother."

Qiaogu was embarrassed when Zhou Chen revealed her true thoughts, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

"Tell me, I'm your brother, what are you embarrassed to tell me? Did you encounter any problems at work?"

Qiaogu waved her hands: "No, no, brother, it's Daguang."

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows: "Daguang, Chen Daguang? What happened to him?"

Qiaogu said, "Daguang has nothing to do now, so he hangs around in the village every day. He also wants to work and make money, so he came to me, hoping that I can help him. But I don't have the ability to do so, and my father said that if people from the village come to ask for help, I should try to avoid them. But Daguang has always taken good care of me, and I..."

Zhou Chen understood the whole story, so he nodded and asked, "So, you want me to help Chen Daguang, right?"

"Yeah." Qiaogu nodded embarrassedly.

Zhou Chen asked again: "Have you ever thought about what the other villagers in Chenjia Village would think if I helped Chen Daguang? What if they all came to beg me?"

"Ah? I didn't think so much." Qiaogu panicked.

Her thoughts were very simple. Chen Daguang grew up with them and often took her out to play. Now that Chen Daguang came to ask her for help, she would definitely help him. As for other things, she really didn't think so much about it.

"I can ask my dad to stop them."

Zhou Chen chuckled and thought that it was too much to expect Qiaogu to come up with a good solution.

"Okay, I get it. I can help you with this. You can let Chen Daguang come to work on our construction site, but you have to tell him that he can only do hard labor on the construction site. If he tries to slack off, I will definitely deal with him seriously."

Qiaogu immediately smiled and nodded continuously: "Yes, yes, brother, don't worry, I will definitely explain it clearly to Daguang."

"Okay, then go and get busy."

Qiaogu left happily.

In the office, Zhou Chen tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

He really wasn't optimistic about letting Chen Daguang come to work on the construction site. With Chen Daguang's ambitious personality, it would definitely be unrealistic to ask him to do hard labor all the time.

But this was the first time Qiaogu asked him to do something, so he decided to help.

Before, he asked Qiaogu to work behind him. In addition to finding something for her to do, another reason was that he wanted to stop Qiaogu from hanging out with Chen Daguang.

He knew very well how big a pit Chen Daguang's future would be, and he certainly didn't want Qiaogu to fall into this deep pit of Chen Daguang.

With Qiaogu's weak character, if she didn't have help from others, she would definitely be deceived by Chen Daguang's sweet words. He now keeps Qiaogu by his side just to not give Chen Daguang this opportunity.

Chen Daguang was a smart man. He knew that if he came directly to him or Chen Jinshui, he would probably reject him like he rejected other people in the village.

So he followed Qiaogu's path. He was clever but too easily tempted to lose his principles when faced with profit.

Qiaogu told Chen Daguang the good news, and Chen Daguang was very happy. Not only he was happy, but his whole family was very happy. They also followed Qiaogu's words and would not tell it to other people in the village.

But after Chen Daguang went to the construction site and worked with the master, he realized that everything was not as good as he had imagined.

The wages are indeed not low, and are relatively high in Yiwu, but the work is really tiring. Moving bricks and carrying cement are just the basics. I am busy from morning to night every day, and the skin on my hands and shoulders is worn out.

For this matter, he went to find Qiaogu again, hoping that Qiaogu could ask Zhou Chen to help him change his job.

Qiaogu felt soft-hearted and did go to find Zhou Chen again, but Zhou Chen did not help her this time. Instead, he said directly and firmly that if she didn't want to do it anymore, she could leave, but changing positions was impossible.

To be honest, if Chen Daguang could work for a few months before bringing up this matter, Zhou Chen would still look up to him; but now he can't stand it after just a few days. With this kind of resilience, what can you expect from him?

…………

Time flies and it is the end of 83.

After a year of development, Yiwu's first generation of small street department stores has grown in size. Now, not only people from the county but also from surrounding cities and counties often come to check out the situation here.

However, the past year or so has not been smooth sailing. There have been some disturbances in the process. Some conservative people in the county have expressed their opposition and wanted to speak out on this matter.

Fortunately, this phenomenon did not cause any impact. With the strong support of Xie Shuji, the small commodity market continued to develop smoothly.

The small commodity trade city invested by Zhou Chen was also built very smoothly during this year. This was a major plan approved by all county leaders, and no one in the county dared not to cooperate.

According to Zhou Chen's estimation, the trade city will be put into use in less than a year, and by then the first generation of small commodity mall will be born from his hands.

This kind of thing did not bring much sense of accomplishment to Zhou Chen, but for many people in Yiwu, they had been waiting for this historic moment.

If they had the conditions at the beginning, they would not have so quickly turned a small commodity department store on the roadside.

In the evening, Zhou Chen came to Luo Yuzhu's residence. After more than four years, Luo Yuzhu still did not move anywhere else and still lived in the yard that Zhou Chen rented for her.

Luo Yuzhu has a strong sense of belonging to this house. She even works hard to make money, partly because she wants to buy this house.

Zhou Chen was sitting at the table, and Luo Yuzhu happily walked in with a plate in her hand.

"Okay, the last dish is ready, we can eat now."

Luo Yuzhu put the dishes on the table and invited Zhou Chen to eat together.

Since Zhou Chen returned to Yiwu, they have been eating together often, so this period of time has undoubtedly been a happy time for Luo Yuzhu.

In the past, when she ate alone, she would just eat a quick bite. But after eating with Zhou Chen frequently, she found that Zhou Chen was sometimes quite picky, so she became much more serious about cooking. In the past year or so, she has made rapid progress.

Halfway through the meal, Zhou Chen suddenly said, "Yuzhu, let's get married."

With a 'ding-dang' sound, the chopsticks in Luo Yuzhu's hand fell. She raised her head and looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief.

"You, what did you say?"

Facing Luo Yuzhu's shocked expression, Zhou Chen said again: "Yuzhu, let's get married."

Tears flowed uncontrollably from Luo Yuzhu's eyes. After a long while, she nodded vigorously.

"Ah."

After agreeing, she thought of a serious problem.

"Zhou Chen, I am willing to marry you, but will your uncle agree to let you marry me?"

Although more than a year had passed and she had not had much contact with Chen Jinshui, she still remembered how much Chen Jinshui hated her.

But Chen Jinshui always thought that she was not worthy of Zhou Chen. If Chen Jinshui knew that they were going to get married, he would definitely object.

She was not afraid herself, but she was afraid that Zhou Chen would not be able to convince Chen Jinshui and something unexpected would happen.

Zhou Chen said confidently: "You don't have to worry about this, leave it to me, we will get married after the New Year."

"it is good."

The words "Leave it to me" made Luo Yuzhu feel completely at ease. Zhou Chen had never let her down, and she firmly believed that Zhou Chen could solve all problems.

"When the time comes, just be responsible for marrying me beautifully."

"it is good."

No matter what Zhou Chen said, Luo Yuzhu nodded in agreement.

Although she has a generous personality and doesn't care about other people's opinions, she is a woman after all. She also longs for her marriage to be taken care of by others and to be the envy of other women.

Now, she has been guarding Zhou Chen for five years, and the day of harvest has finally arrived.

…………

The next night, Zhou Chen returned to Chenjia Village.

Unlike the previous times when he returned to Chenjia Village and was welcomed and welcomed by everyone, Zhou Chen's reputation in Chenjia Village has been greatly affected since he refused the people from Chenjia Village to work on the construction site.

I don't know how many people secretly say bad things about him, saying that he doesn't recognize his fellow villagers now that he's rich, that he's heartless and ungrateful, etc...

Zhou Chen had naturally heard these words, but he didn't take them seriously at all. These people could only gossip about him. If they really encountered a problem that could not be solved, they would come to him for help one by one, guaranteed to be faster than the other.

Because the Chinese New Year was approaching, Chen Jianghe stopped running around for business and returned to Chenjia Village early.

At dinner time, the three old men gathered together to clink glasses and a bottle of white wine was quickly finished.

Because Zhou Chen has been staying in Yiwu and is not far from Chenjia Town, Chen Jinshui has a general understanding of Zhou Chen's situation.

But Chen Jianghe ran around all year round, and although he returned to Chenjia Village often, even Chen Jinshui didn't know what he was doing.

So now that he had the chance to ask, he did not sit idle and asked about Chen Jianghe's situation, wanting to know how Chen Jianghe had been doing recently.

Chapter 785: Marriage, Trouble Comes

"Uncle, I'm getting married."

When Zhou Chen said this, the air in the main room seemed to freeze in an instant.

Chen Jianghe and Qiaogu looked at Zhou Chen cautiously, then looked at Chen Jinshui whose face was as gloomy as water, and did not dare to make a sound.

The cheerful atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly disappeared, and what remained was heaviness.

Chen Jinshui asked in a deep voice: "Marry? With that woman named Luo Yuzhu?"

"Yes."

Chen Jinshui remained silent. After a long time, he sighed heavily.

"I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. I still say that Luo Yuzhu is not the right woman for you."

"Uncle, I understand what you mean, but whether she is suitable for me or not, only I know best, and I know what I want."

"She'll hold you back."

Zhou Chen said: "I don't know what kind of burden you are talking about, but even if she really is a burden to me, I will accept it. I have made up my mind to marry her after the New Year."

Seeing Zhou Chen's firm attitude, Chen Jinshui felt helpless, but he could only nod and agree.

"Okay, since you have made your own decision, then as your uncle, I can only bless you. You can get married in Chenjia Village."

"Well, my parents are gone, and Yuzhu's family is gone too. We'll follow your arrangements."

Seeing that Zhou Chen and Chen Jinshui had reached an agreement, Chen Jianghe and Qiaogu dared to breathe loudly. Just now they were afraid that Zhou Chen and Chen Jinshui would quarrel and they would not know who to help.

With Chen Jinshui's support, Zhou Chen and Luo Yuzhu's wedding was naturally held in a legitimate manner.

The wedding banquet was held in Chenjia Village on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Zhou Chen was not planning on making a big deal about it, so he only invited some close friends. However, although some people he did not invite, they all came and sent their blessings for their wedding.

What surprised Zhou Chen was that his elder brother and sister-in-law, whom he hadn't contacted for several years, also came this time.

You know, he has returned to Yiwu for more than a year, but they have never been in contact. This time when he got married, they actually came. How could Zhou Chen not be surprised.

However, because today is a happy day, although Zhou Chen looked down on them, he did not create any embarrassing situation on his happy day.

Zhou Chen brought Luo Yuzhu to toast Zhou Yong, which made Zhou Yong very happy. In the following time, he became very active and went to find other people at the table to drink, especially those leaders. He even acted as Zhou Chen's elder brother and toasted them in various ways, which did not look very good.

Zhou Yong's behavior made Zhou Chen feel helpless. He knew that Zhou Yong wanted to use his wedding banquet to expand his network of contacts. It was a really good plan.

Although Zhou Chen has never caused trouble for Zhou Yong and the others after returning for more than a year, it does not mean that he has forgotten what happened.

He just planned to finish other things, wait until he had some free time, and then slowly settle the accounts with Zhou Yong and his wife.

As a result, before he even started to settle the scores, they jumped out again and made things difficult for him. It is true that it is difficult to change one's nature.

The lively wedding banquet soon came to an end. Zhou Chen and Luo Yuzhu naturally would not sleep in Chenjia Village at night. Instead, after finishing everything, they packed up and returned to the small courtyard they rented.

Zhou Chen and Luo Yuzhu lay on a bed, hugging each other tightly, enjoying the beauty of this moment.

"Are we really married?"

Everything that was supposed to happen had happened, but Luo Yuzhu still found it hard to believe. She had longed for this moment for too long, but when it finally came, it still seemed too dreamy.

Zhou Chen comforted her softly, "We are married. From today on, we are officially a legal couple. You, Luo Yuzhu, are my wife, Zhou Chen. No one can change that."

"That's great."

Luo Yuzhu hugged Zhou Chen tightly, her face full of joy. She was undoubtedly the happiest at this moment.

That night, Zhou Chen and Luo Yuzhu no longer had to suppress themselves. They released themselves and did whatever they wanted. They didn't fall asleep until dawn, when they hugged each other.
