Chapter 11: Solo Duel

  Mission: Impossible III was not allowed to be released simultaneously in China because it discredited Shanghai. The so-called discredit is nothing more than filming some scenes that are inconsistent with the identity of this window city of China, which is what Li Wei told Chen Ergou. And now Chen Ergou lives in such a circle, living in it, if not for the occasional luxury cars passing by with their noses up, he must think that this is a town in Heilongjiang Province in Northeast China.

  Chen Ergou was leaning against the window on the second floor, sneaking a peek at Li Wei who was studying with her head down. He was a bit worried that one day Li Wei would also sit in those luxurious four-wheeled vehicles with a fat-headed and big-eared pighead tycoon. Shaking his head, Chen Ergou threw away this depressing thought and boldly sized up the boss's daughter in front of him. Perhaps due to her half-northern heritage, Li Wei's figure was not as delicate as that of typical southern girls, but she had a slightly slender yet curvaceous build that women dreamed of. In a few years, she would likely become stunningly beautiful. Chen Ergou's language skills were dull, and he never scored high on his hundreds of practice essays. He thought it was because all his emotions had gone into women, so he couldn't help but think about Li Wei's beauty in a few years, making him want to write poetry or recite something, even though he knew it would make himself feel embarrassed.

  Suddenly found that this little girl was staring at him, Chen Er Gou smiled awkwardly and quickly covered up by saying: "Is there something you don't understand?"

  Li Wei smiled and shook his head, continuing to lower his head to read the book, subconsciously rotating the round pen in his hand, drawing one arc after another.

  Actually, with Chen Ergou's standards, teaching Li Wei is still manageable. If we don't count English, perhaps this number one public enemy of Zhangjiacun can also take the entrance exam for a key middle school in Shanghai that is somewhat decent. Chen Ergou predicted that Li Wei would be just barely enough to get by with some effort and good luck, so Li Wei usually asks for help with math and science and gets satisfactory answers. At this age, girls are still relatively simple-minded and have a better impression of boys who are stronger in their studies. So, she let Chen Ergou pick up the slack, and since he doesn't look as shabby as his fellow villager, Li Wei probably doesn't have a bad impression of this poorly paid laborer from his hometown.

  "The toad wants to eat swan meat, the dog wants to flirt with Sister Li Wei." Li Sheng, this little rabbit, was jumping up and down at the door, and this sentence had become his mantra. This kid didn't make any progress in his studies, but he was very clever, just like his mother, who could nitpick something to the smallest detail, and with one glance, he saw through Chen Ergou's sinister intentions.

  Chen Ergou could only secretly give this kid a murderous glare, but when facing Li Wei, he put on a sincere face. This trick wasn't sophisticated, but it won out due to the performer's skill being refined to perfection. Li Wei, who hadn't been tempered by several years of social experience, couldn't see through it at all. She just glared at her brother, pretending to want to hit him, and scared away Li Sheng. After that, she blushed slightly, as puppy love was like a ferocious beast wearing a fancy coat for a pure and innocent young girl - frightening yet enticing. She lowered her head and found that the math formulas in her mind had miraculously combined into a name: Chen Ergou. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, then looked up at this young man who was flawless in his parents' eyes and asked, "Who gave you this name?"

  "People like Zhang Shengli." Chen Ergou didn't want to explain this issue any further. That old fellow almost dragged out the three words "Chen Ergou" whenever he saw someone, as if he wanted the whole of Shanghai to know Chen Ergou's name. Chen Ergou was too lazy to bother with him now, but in the future, he would have plenty of ways to deal with this old fellow.

  "Are you not angry?" Li Wei's ballpoint pen was pressed against her chin, staring at Chen Ergou with wide, moist eyes, as if she felt a bit sorry for him. In Naizi's simple and pure mind, Chen Ergou's weight was obviously heavier than Zhang Shengli, who had no culture or quality. If it were Chen Ergou staring at her, she might have blushed and thought about striking a more adorable pose, but if it were someone like Zhang Shengli, little Naizi wouldn't give him a good face.

  "Angry, of course angry."

  Chen Ergou smiled and said, "I'm not that kind of person with a high level of thinking. When someone scolds me, I naturally want to scold back, when someone hits me, I even more want to hit back. It's just that once in a fight, I didn't manage to beat the other guy, after being knocked down and lying on the bed for a few months, I thought as I lay in bed, 'a gentleman takes revenge ten years later', this kind of small person like me doesn't need to say ten years, at least I should be able to wait for a year or two."

  Li Wei just smiled and didn't say anything. She was just a good kid who had only received the five lectures and four beauties of school education for a short time. Chen Ergou's words were shallow, but they were still difficult for her to understand. Chen Ergou also didn't try to let her deeply understand the absurdity of life in his city. The men from two villages were fighting with big sticks and knives, even **** entwined together. After staying here for a while, Chen Ergou thought it was indeed absurd and ridiculous. A wife who cost over 2,000 yuan was locked up in a small, dark, and damp house with an iron lock. It's estimated that she would be scared silly. In fact, the earth house was not far from Chen Ergou's home. Chen Ergou watched as the woman was driven mad, but he didn't save her. The reason was that the family was the only one who helped his grandfather carry the coffin at the funeral, and Chen Ergou also didn't have the ability to save her. In a small village with a palm-sized area, any wind would disturb everyone.

  "Second Dog, want to hear my opinion of you?" Li Wei tilted her head, she often wore a standard school uniform, not revealing anything, this was also the main reason why the boss's wife dared to put this Northeastern rustic girl into this "boudoir", another reason was that she had determined Chen Second Dog belonged to the kind of person who had a thief's heart but no thief's courage.

  Chen Erdou smiled, which was quite puzzling. Before coming to Shanghai, he had never used toothpaste or a toothbrush, yet his teeth were so white that they could be used for advertising.

  "Don't want to listen? Then I won't say it." Li Wei pouted, feeling a bit unhappy, thinking that this guy was really not clever.

  Chen Ergou remained in a silly smiling state, more and more like a foolish rich man.

  As expected, Li Wei himself was defeated and restored his smile, saying softly: "Ergou, I think if you dress up a bit, you won't be worse than others."

  Wearing a set of cheap clothes picked from the street night market and a pair of sneakers, Chen Ergou picked up a math exercise book and said: "I'm not a woman, what's the point of dressing up. It's you, dress up a bit, and your drawer will be filled with love letters."

  "I just threw away all the love letters." Li Wei said with a blush.

  Chen Ergou remained silent in a coordinated manner, but he actually knew that there was a love letter that hadn't been thrown away. It wasn't that Chen Ergou had a voyeuristic desire, but rather Li Sheng's little brother liked to do this kind of thing. Every time someone wanted to get close to his sister, he would scrutinize them thoroughly. Love letters and gifts were always difficult to escape his notice. That love letter was actually dug out from rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and Chen Ergou even had to read it once, saying that he wanted to learn how to deceive beautiful girls. Unfortunately, the writing was really not good, and even Li Sheng, a third-grader, looked down on it with great disdain. This little brother had always liked to let those who pursued his sister take the fall for him. In a fit of rage, he secretly got another typical bad student who had a crush on Li Wei to severely beat up the guy who wrote the love letter. The poor guy, an excellent student and a campus heartthrob who looked good enough to make little girls go crazy, suffered an unprovoked disaster. As for whether there was any result between Li Wei and him, Chen Ergou didn't think much about it, after all, he was just a migrant worker with nothing to his name.

  "Second brother, come down and help!"

  This is the boss's wife yelling from downstairs at River East Lion Roar, half a street can hear it.

  Chen Ergou sometimes wickedly imagined that when the thin boss and the fat wife did that thing, would the bed board creak, and would her uncontrollable voice scare the neighbors? Unfortunately, this is a very difficult thing to verify. Chen Ergou smiled evilly as he went downstairs, but what greeted him was a tense scene.

  Eating at the tyrant's restaurant, Chen Ergou had run into him two or three times, but only once did it escalate to physical violence. The thin and weak boss would always hide behind the counter like a turtle, showing that not every Northeastern man is as tough as they seem. As for the boss's wife, who usually spoke in a voice almost as loud as a national leader in front of Chen Ergou and Zhang Shengli, she only knew how to cheer them on, while the dirty work ultimately fell to Chen Ergou alone.

  Today, this group is even more unbearable. Two tables of seven or eight people, using a Jiangxi accent to scold others in Mandarin, smashing dishes and bowls while cursing, with all shapes and sizes present, but all exuding a fierce aura. When it comes to fighting, Chen Er Gou has at least been through the battlefield and can tell the difference between ordinary thugs and this group of people. He is certain that many of them have shed blood, whether it's their own or someone else's, and such rascals are more difficult to deal with than usual hoodlums. In this area, he also has a general understanding of the situation, as the Northeast and Jiangxi regions' migrant workers are two of the most united gangs. Although they don't have a strict organization, they can definitely respond to each other's calls. The principle of this group is that as long as one of their own is beaten, they will immediately attack without distinguishing between right and wrong. Who wins after the fight determines who is in the right.

  Chen Ergou came to the side of the boss's wife, glanced at the boss who had slipped into the kitchen and only poked out his head, if anyone was to blame, it was this boss for marrying a Shanghai woman, and what's more, she was a hen-pecked husband, plus he didn't have any of the Northeasterners' generosity to speak of, so he was always viewed as a shame by the Northeastern men, when something really happened, who would be willing to come and deal with it, in the end, it became Chen Ergou's tragic situation of single-handedly taking on seven or eight people.
