Gervaise decides that her life will be far less difficult if she gives up men completely, but she does not keep her promise to herself for very long, as she is unable to resist the advances of a roofing engineer called Coupeau. He doesn't drink and he seems reliable, and so she agrees to marry him. Their wedding is particularly memorable - and original, chaos that is not so much organized as spontaneous, but a wedding that makes both bride and groom extremely happy.It has always been Gervaise's dream to open up a laundry of her own. After years of rotten luck, the cards seem to start falling in her favor, and it just so happens that she finds herself able to make enough money to make her dreams come true. She opens a laundry of her own. Believing that she could not be any happier, Gervaise's life is enhanced even further when she and Coupeau welcome a baby girl into the family, whom they call Nana. Life, she believes, could not get any sweeter, and the family are both happy and blessed.
