Definition

跑断肠

Literally means:

run till one's legs get broken

Actually means:

be very busy

This phrase is from the idiom: lucky guys need not do anything, but the unlucky ones are always on the run (有福不用忙, 没福跑断肠), which means when people are in luck, they do not have to hurry, but just wait for good fortune to arrive. But for those who are in bad luck, even though they work hard day and night, fortune is still away from them. This phrase figuratively means that one is extremely busy. It is an exaggeration.

来自“有福不用忙,没福跑断肠”,意思是:有福气的人,不用着急,幸福就会自己来;没有福气的人,跑断肠子也得不到幸福。比喻很忙碌很辛苦。含夸张的意味。

It's hard to do insurance, we've worked so hard, but so far a contract hasn't been signed. I don't want to do this kind of broken intestines anymore.
