Woman 30: I regained my life after divorce

"Bitter, really bitter..."

Zhou Sen shouted in his heart.

The nurse noticed that Zhou Sen was probably new here, and asked stiffly: "You are on an empty stomach, right? Otherwise, this medicine will not be effective."

Zhou Shen nodded repeatedly and muttered in his throat: "Yes, yes~"

"Here you go~ I'll come and draw your blood later."

The nurse handed the paper cup to Zhou Sen, looked at the clock on the wall, and left quickly.

Zhou Sen picked up the paper cup and drank it hard.

He drank a glass of water, but the medicine remaining in his mouth seemed to have not been washed away. The bitter and astringent feeling was always attacking his taste buds.

The old man burst out laughing at Zhou Sen's funny behavior.

"Hey~ brother, I have water here, go on!"

The old man threw the unopened bottle of mineral water in his pocket towards Zhou Sen.

Zhou Sen accurately took the water from the old man with both hands, quickly opened it, and drank most of the bottle.

Now, the strong medicinal smell in his mouth seemed to have been washed away.

But the weird smell still made him feel uncomfortable.

"Come and sit for a while, we have to wait for another hour." The old man patted the stool next to him.

Zhou Sen walked over with a smile on his face and handed the half bottle of water to the old man.

"Thank you, brother, thank you very much."

"Brother, you are too polite. We are all miserable people. How can any good person be in this line of work?"

The old man said, with a wry smile on his lips and deep wrinkles on his cheeks.

Zhou Sen also smiled bitterly. If it weren't for the purpose of collecting medical expenses, he wouldn't come to try the medicine.

He knew it was a side effect of the medicine.

The old man saw Zhou Sen's sad look, took out half a pack of crumpled cigarettes from his pocket, smoked one from the inside and handed it to Zhou Sen.

"Do you want to smoke?"

Zhou Sen hesitated. He could see that this old man must be living in a difficult situation. Even a few cigarettes cost three to five yuan a pack.

The old man still raised his hand and pointed the cigarette at Zhou Sen.

"Take it~ You're welcome"

Seeing how enthusiastic the old man was, Zhou Sen smiled and took the cigarette and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, brother, thank you very much~"

"Don't thank me~ What's that saying? We are both at the end of the world..."

"We are both fallen people from the end of the world," a man next to him rushed to say.

"Yes, yes, that's it. We all have a hard life. We can be together by fate, so don't say thank you."

The old man smiled, and from his smile you could see the calmness of taking pleasure in hardship.

Zhou Sen took out a lighter from his pocket and lit a cigarette for the old man.

Then he skillfully put the cigarette into his mouth, lit it and took a deep breath.

As a big smoke ring was blown out, Zhou Sen suddenly felt relaxed and happy.

From last night to now, he has not smoked a cigarette, and he is almost exhausted.

After taking a few puffs of cigarette, the old man turned slightly to look at Zhou Sen and asked, "Brother, is there something going on at home that you need money for?"

"Uh...my sister is sick and hospitalized, and I just don't have enough money, so I thought of this," Zhou Sen replied in a cryptic manner.

"Oh~ This makes money quickly, but you can't do it all the time, otherwise your body will die sooner or later. You are still young, unlike me. I can't even do the work. I can live one day at a time."

Zhou Sen asked cautiously, "How old are you this year? Look at your body..."

The old man put out his cigarette, looked at Zhou Shen jokingly, and asked, "How old do you think I am?"

"Forty-eight or nine? You look like you're in your early fifties?"

Seeing that the old man's temples were turning gray, Zhou Shen felt that he should be almost 60.

But those eyes seemed to be quite young, so they deliberately said they were a few years younger.

"Hahaha, do you know? He is only 41! Can you tell?" The person next to Zhou Sen said with a laugh.

"Ah? You're only 41, you look so..."

"Looks like someone in his 50s, right? I took out my ID card to apply for a job, and everyone said I was faking it, hahaha~"

The old man said and took out his ID card from his pocket.

Judging from the ID card, he is indeed only 41 years old, and the photo on the ID card is quite young and handsome.

"Brother, what kind of setback did you encounter that made you like this?" Zhou Sen asked in horror.

The old man turned sideways and lifted up his clothes.

Only a long scar was seen, extending from his waist to his shoulder.

Looking at this shocking scar, Zhou Sen's scalp felt numb.

No wonder this old man has a stooped figure and looks so unnatural even when he walks.

Seeing the panic on Zhou Sen's face, the old man said happily: "Something happened in the mine a few years ago. Half of his life was lost, and he became like this."

Zhou Sen quickly comforted him and said, "If you don't die in a disaster, you will have good luck in the future~"

"Damn, what a blessing! Ever since my accident, my wife ran away with our son and even took away my compensation money."

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but moisten his eyes, and his eyes became resentful and fierce.

"Brother, let me tell you, there is no good woman in this world, they are all fucking bitches, one after another," the old man cursed angrily.

Zhou Sen smiled awkwardly and did not reply.

"Hey~ are you married yet?" The old man finally looked at Zhou Sen and asked.

Zhou Shen sighed and replied: "Not yet~ How can a woman like me, who is helpless and has nothing, fall in love with me?"

"It's good~ It's good~ One person is full and the whole family is not hungry. There are not so many pressing matters."

"Then how can it happen? Isn't that what men do all their lives?" Several men laughed obscenely.

Hearing everyone chatting about pornographic jokes, Zhou Sen looked embarrassed.

Seeing Zhou Sen's embarrassed look, several old men asked maliciously: "Brother, you are not a chick, are you?"

"I...I'm not!"

Zhou Sen's panic behavior has exposed himself.

If a woman has never had one, she's probably squeaky-clean.

But if a man has never been single for many years, he is either ugly or poor.

Zhou Sen also knows this very well, which is another reason for his inferiority complex.

"Hahaha~ Little brother, we will take you to Lehelehe another day and let you try the joy of being a man."

Zhou Sen lowered his head deeply, hiding his inner embarrassment.

"Hey, don't you have a younger sister? Is your younger sister married? My sister happens to not be married either. How about we change marriages?"

"I……"

"Hey, do you have a photo of your sister? Can you let your brothers take a look?"

Zhou Sen did have photos of Zhou Xinyao on his phone, but he was too embarrassed to take them out because he knew what these old men were like.

"Quickly, show me to my brothers!"
