Chapter 435: King Cuimei of the Extra Chapter
1984 was a year of frequent major events.
The national business boom began to explode in this year, and "going into business" became a popular word among the people.
Lenovo, Haier, Vanke, TCL and many other well-known companies in later generations were born in this year. This year was called the first year of modern Chinese companies by later generations.
"Time is money, efficiency is life" is the most resounding slogan of this year, and it is also the slogan that best reflects the spirit of reform and opening up.
This year, residents began to have identity cards; the railway soldiers also withdrew from the stage in this year, collectively transferred to the Ministry of Railways. Border warfare is still continuing, and the military parade has aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of the people across the country.
The song "My Chinese Heart" is even more popular across the country, singing the voice of the descendants of Yanhuang all over the world.
The Hong Kong City issue was also resolved this year, and China and Britain formally signed a joint declaration.
In this vibrant and wild era, many things changed unconsciously.
Su Yiyuan, who thought he would be single for life, got married, and Wang Cuimei, who thought she would marry one person for life, got divorced.
The story started a few years ago when Zheng Guosheng's parents came.
That year, after the old couple came, they learned that Wang Cuimei's job paid 60 yuan a month, and they wanted to let several children and grandchildren from their hometown come to work. Zheng Guosheng was unwilling to say it, so the old couple went to Lu Changzheng themselves.
At that time, Zheng Guosheng had written a letter to report the Su family's business, and Lu Changzheng had already known about it. Not to mention that he would not interfere in the Yue family's business, even if he could, he would not provide convenience to the family of the troublemaker, and he refused without saying a word. He
even made his words ambiguous, saying that this matter must be heard from Zheng Guosheng, and if he really arranged it without authorization, it would be offensive.
In the eyes of the uneducated old couple and Zheng's younger brother, Zheng Guosheng was afraid that his brothers would be more promising than him and surpass him, which would affect his status in the family, so he asked Lu Changzheng not to arrange work for them.
Lu Changzheng originally disdained to do such things behind the scenes, but Zheng Guosheng was so disgusting that he always liked to do some small things behind the scenes, so he gave him a taste of his own medicine.
First, he would play some small tricks on him to make him hate him, and then when he found the opportunity in the future, he would deal with him openly.
Sure enough, after returning home, Old Man Zheng went to talk to Zheng Guosheng. When Zheng Guosheng heard that they had gone to find Lu Changzheng, he immediately exploded, thinking that they had lost his face, and the father and son had a quarrel.
Zheng Guosheng could no longer care about Wang Cuimei's affairs at this time, and just wanted to send his parents back as soon as possible, so that they would not continue to lose his people here.
But it is easier to invite gods than to send them away. Before Old Man Zheng and Old Lady Zheng came, they boasted in the village that they were going to Guangzhou to enjoy themselves, so why would they be willing to go back.
No matter what Zheng Guosheng said, the old couple just wouldn't listen. After talking too much, they went to the management office to cry that Zheng Guosheng was unfilial.
In the end, Zheng Guosheng had no choice but to compromise. The old couple stayed, and only the youngest brother Zheng went back.
The brothers of the Zheng family are all selfish in nature. The youngest
brother Zheng hated Zheng Guosheng because he didn't get a job. After returning home, he told his other two brothers a lot.
As a result, the two younger brothers of Zheng Guosheng's family also hated him.
The three brothers told people everywhere, and with some bragging, the rumor that eventually spread in their hometown was that after Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng went to Guangzhou, they found jobs for their sons and grandsons in private companies with a monthly salary of 60 yuan. But Zheng Guosheng was afraid that his younger brothers would become successful and affect his status in the family, so he ruined the plan.
Originally, Zheng Guosheng was the most successful one in his hometown, and his reputation had been very good for many years.
After this incident, his reputation changed immediately, and many people lamented that one can never know a person's true heart by looking at his face.
After hearing this from other relatives, Zheng Guosheng was almost furious. He called his younger brothers, but no one paid any attention to him. He
went back to tell his parents and asked them to clarify things for him. But Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng were already unhappy that Zheng Guosheng wanted to send them back, and they were thinking about whether they could use this incident to force the eldest son to talk to someone and get the job done.
When the other children and grandchildren came over, they would have other ways out and would not have to look at the eldest son's face all the time.
The two sides could not reach an agreement, so they quarreled again.
During that time, the Zheng family was like a battlefield, with a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. The good reputation of Zheng Guosheng in the family compound was also affected.
Zheng Guosheng naturally went to find Lu Changzheng and scolded him for causing trouble. Lu Changzheng told him what he had said at the time, and then dismissed him with one sentence, "I'm telling the truth, your parents misunderstood."
Zheng Guosheng had no choice, after all, it seemed that the man did not say anything wrong, it was his parents who misunderstood.
That's not all, the old man Zheng and his wife were used to being "local emperors" in their hometown. It was okay when they first came, but after a long time, their true colors were exposed, and they began to speak and act arrogantly, offending many old men and women who came with the army.
When those old people went back and told their children, those people naturally would not do anything to the old people, and they put the blame on Zheng Guosheng.
Zheng Guosheng was originally troubled by family affairs, and was targeted at work. He made a lot of mistakes without paying attention and was punished.
Zheng Guosheng's ability was not outstanding, and he had no achievements or faults. If he could hold on, he might be promoted again in a few years. Now that he has been punished, his future may come to an end.
Zheng Guosheng later found out that his parents had offended someone, which led to him being targeted. He was so angry that he began to control the words and deeds of the old couple, and his relationship with his parents became worse.
Unlike Zheng Guosheng's career setbacks, Wang Cuimei's career can be said to be very successful.
Wang Cuimei was originally good at speaking and was brave, otherwise she would not have dared to be a second-hand peddler before.
After the restaurant opened a new store, Su Tingqian transferred Wang Cuimei to the new store as a salesperson.
Although the basic salary of a salesperson is relatively low, there is a commission. The new store where Wang Cuimei went has a good location. It is a new development zone with many foreign companies and workers coming and going, and the business is very good. In the first month after the transfer, her salary was more than 70 yuan.
As more and more people came there, the business was getting better and better, and with the salary increase, in just two years, Wang Cuimei's salary exceeded Zheng Guosheng.
For a person like Zheng Guosheng, this is absolutely a great shame and intolerable.
So Zheng Guosheng started to make trouble again, sarcastic about Wang Cuimei in a weird way, and found fault with her from time to time and suppressed her. The relationship between the couple, which had been somewhat improved due to the confrontation with their parents, became bad again.
Wang Cuimei had seen a lot of the world over the years, and her thinking was different from when she was a housewife. Naturally, she could not be oppressed by him. The couple often quarreled and even thought about divorce.
Later, Wang Cuimei's eldest son started dating, her daughter was in the third year of high school, and her youngest son was in the third year of junior high school, all of which were critical moments.
For the sake of the children's future, Wang Cuimei had to soften her temper and be more tolerant of Zheng Guosheng. She thought that if she was patient, she would live like this for the rest of her life.
However, Zheng Hongxia's failure in the college entrance examination completely ignited Wang Cuimei's anger.
