Zhang Man, drunk and frowning, kept tugging forcefully at the zipper of her dress. But no matter how hard she pulled, the zipper seemed to be welded shut and wouldn't budge an inch. The frustration almost brought her to tears.
Finally, she gave up the struggle.
"Er Gou, come help me take off my dress!" she yelled at Liu Ergou. "Something's wrong with it, I can't get it off! Did you hear me?"
Liu Ergou, who had his back to her, spun around at her shout. He saw Zhang Man slumped on the toilet, one hand yanking at her dress while the other flailed aimlessly.
Seeing this, Liu Ergou sighed.
This is tricky.
He stepped forward, crouched down, and examined the zipper. A piece of fabric was caught in the teeth, which was why it was stuck. He carefully worked it free, unzipped the dress, and helped her pull it off. After a moment's thought, feeling he should see the job through, Liu Ergou helped her out of the rest of her clothes.
