Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

After hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Hao Shuwen was silent for a rare moment.

After being silent for ten seconds, Hao Shuwen took a long breath and gently put down the water glass.

"Well, since we have talked about it for this reason, I won't hide it from you."

Speaking of this, Hao Shuwen raised her head, looked at Cao Zhiqiang and said: "Zhiqiang, can you help me arrange a job?"

"Huh?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "What? Work?"

"Yeah." Hao Shuwen nodded, "I, can you help me arrange a job? As long as I can do it, anything will do."

Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "Sister, are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious." Hao Shuwen said seriously.

Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "Sister, are you kidding me? With your status and connections, it's not easy to find a job. Do you still need me?"

Hao Shuwen gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, relying on the relationship between my parents, my parents-in-law, and even my husband, I can easily find a good job, but, I don't want to rely on their relationships to find a job."

Cao Zhiqiang touched his chin: "Can you tell me why? Sister, with all due respect, it's fine if others say so, but in my impression, you are not a pedantic and naive person. It is impossible to use it even though you are related to parents and relatives.

, it’s not like you to have to go out on your own."

Hao Shuwen lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then sighed and said: "Yes, I am not that pedantic. My parents are obviously high-ranking officials and have the ability to help me, but they still pretend to be noble. I am not that stupid.

I used to be very proud of my status as a disciple of high-ranking cadres.

But, just because of this, I have to listen to them in everything."

Speaking of this, Hao Shuwen raised her head and looked at Cao Zhiqiang, and said slightly excitedly: "I am also a human being, I also have feelings and my own self-esteem. I am not a soldier in their hands. I can't stop what they tell me to do."

what!

I have my own judgment and my own ideas, and I don’t want to continue to be arranged by them in life, especially a life that I hate.”

"What's going on?" Cao Zhiqiang asked, "Sister, if you don't explain the matter clearly, I can't help you."

"They are not my brother, my parents." Hao Shuwen gritted her teeth angrily, "They don't know anything, they just know how to scold me, and they also ask me to apologize and make amends. It is simply unreasonable!"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly and poured another glass of water for Hao Shuwen: "Sister, let's get to the point. No, just tell the whole story from the beginning."

Hao Shuwen drank a glass of water in one breath and then elaborated again.

It turned out that after Hao Shuwen sobered up that day, probably because she had vented a lot, Hao Shuwen was in a much better mood, so she continued to stay happily alone in the hotel room for a day.

The next day, when she had to check out or else she would have to pay more, Hao Shuwen went home because she had no money to renew.

After returning home, everything was fine, but my brother and sister-in-law suddenly came back together.

This was nothing, but when we were having dinner together in the evening, for some reason, she started talking about Hao Shuwen and her husband, and asked why she didn't bring her husband and children back together.

Especially Hao Shuwen's parents said they missed their grandson.

Then Hao Shuwen said that she was divorcing her husband.

Not only that, Hao Shuwen also revealed that her husband was keeping a mistress in the south.

Originally, Hao Shuwen said this at the dinner table because she wanted to get comfort and help from her family. Who knew that after she finished speaking, no one in the family helped her, and they all scolded her.

Anyway, what that meant was that the reason why her husband found a mistress was because Hao Shuwen was too strong and disrespectful in the past, and then he also said that he wanted Hao Shuwen to go to Shenzhen quickly and get back together with her husband, so as not to get divorced.

, both of them don’t look good.

In other words, Hao Shuwen's father, brother, and even Hao Shuwen's mother all believed that the reason why Hao Shuwen's husband raised a mistress in Shenzhen was because Hao Shuwen was usually too harsh and strong towards others.

Moreover, after Hao Shuwen's husband went to the south to do business, Hao Shuwen did not follow him because she was too tired. Instead, she stayed in the capital for a long time, resulting in the two living separately.

But in the view of Hao Shuwen's parents, this matter is not difficult to solve. All they need is for Hao Shuwen to return to Shenzhen, apologize to her family, and then they can live a good life in Shenzhen together. It is not a big problem.

As for the mistress, Hao Shuwen's brother said that this issue is left to him. As long as Hao Shuwen goes back to live a good life with her husband, he promises to take care of the mistress and never dare to look for her husband again.

These words immediately angered Hao Shuwen.

Hao Shuwen slammed the table on the spot, explaining that it was her husband who made the mistake, so why should he blame her.

As a result, all of a sudden, everyone started to criticize her.

Why can't a slap in the face make a difference? Men are like this. You should be considerate of others, and you should look for problems within yourself, etc.

The more she talked, the angrier she became. Hao Shuwen simply said that she wanted a divorce, and she wanted to divorce that bastard!

At this moment, Brother Hao Shuwen immediately made a sarcastic comment, saying that you, a woman, rely on the relationship between your parents and your husband's family to have a good life now. If you don't have these, you are nothing.

Hao Shuwen's father also said that he had a very good relationship with Hao Shuwen's father-in-law and could not get carried away over trivial matters.

In other words, from the perspective of Hao Shuwen's father, cheating on her with a mistress is a trivial matter and is not harmful at all.

Hao Shuwen's mother started with the children, saying what would happen to the children if they got divorced, who would they marry, and would you take care of the children?

Hao Shuwen's sister-in-law was also trying to persuade her, saying that divorce was a big deal and should not be spoken out lightly. She also said that she could not take advantage of that vixen. If you want a divorce, wouldn't it be your husband's wish?

Anyway, everyone was trying to persuade Hao Shuwen overtly or secretly not to be impulsive and get divorced, and they also said that once Hao Shuwen got divorced, she would have nothing.

Hao Shuwen had a bad temper. She was even more furious when she was rejected by her family, who were all her own relatives.

Can Hao Shuwen bear this anger?

So she overturned the table on the spot and said loudly that she was getting divorced and she was determined not to have such a man as her husband!

Then her father yelled angrily, saying that if you dare to divorce, you will not recognize her as your daughter, and if anything happens in the future, don't ask for help from your family.

Upon hearing what her father said, Hao Shuwen also shouted that the marriage was finalized and she would never step foot in this house again in her life.

After saying these cruel words, Hao Shuwen packed up her things and left on the spot.

After that, Hao Shuwen found a hotel to stay overnight. It was only now that she realized she didn't have much money left, so she thought of asking Cao Zhiqiang for help.

"That's how things are." Hao Shuwen said through gritted teeth, holding a water glass in her hand.

"I really didn't expect that my parents, my brother, my sister-in-law, and my closest relatives would not stand by me. Instead, they would all turn towards that bastard man and continue to push me into the fire pit.

Do you have such a family?

I even doubt whether I am their biological child!"

After hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang touched his chin:

"Well, sister, is it possible that you turned over the table and made your dad angry, which caused him to say some angry words at that time?

No matter how angry you are, you can't lift the table. It's such a waste of food.

Your parents came from hard times, would you not be angry if they saw you flipping the table?"

"Hmph!" Hao Shuwen said, "What's wrong with turning over the table? With a table of food, is it important that my daughter, like me, can live a happy life?"

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "So, you turned over the table and ran away from home without making any preparations?"

"Yes." Hao Shuwen lowered her head, "I left in a hurry and didn't bring much money, but if you let me go back again, I, I can't be angry."

Cao Zhiqiang said: "How about you try to go back and take a look at the situation. Maybe they also regret it?"

"I won't go back!" Hao Shuwen raised her head and said, "They said that about me, even if I didn't lift the table, I wouldn't go back.

Not only can I not go back, I can't go to the homes of relatives and friends who are related to my parents, otherwise they will tip off the news.

In short, my family looks down on me so much, so I have to live a different life to show them.

I want them to know that I, Hao Shuwen, can live well without relying on them or men!"

After taking a few deep breaths, Hao Shuwen raised her head and stared at Cao Zhiqiang: "In short, that's the way it is. Just tell me whether you want to help me or not. If you don't, I'll leave immediately and I won't bother you!"

"Sister, you are right." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head slightly, "It's my honor for you to think of me for the first time, brother.

Help, I definitely want to help.

It's just my personal opinion that there is no need for you and your family to be so tense.

Although I also think that your parents and your brother have some weird ideas when it comes to your relationship with your husband, I can't say that they are wrong.

After all, people of the older generation have different ideas than young people.

Maybe they think that this man has been working out of town for a long time, so finding a mistress is not a big problem. They can't just call for a divorce just because the man has found a mistress. This will give the mistress an advantage and bring bad luck to himself.

And I remember you said before that your father and your parents-in-law have a good relationship, and they are a perfect match. Maybe your parents think that if you get divorced, you will be at a disadvantage if you don't tell and you will be laughed at.

That’s why they want you to go back and have a good talk with your husband to see if you can continue to live your life.”

Hao Shuwen looked at Cao Zhiqiang with an unkind expression: "You think so too?"

"Of course not!" Cao Zhiqiang said immediately, "I just used your words to reasonably deduce the thoughts of your parents and brother. These are not my thoughts."

"Then what are your thoughts?" Hao Shuwen continued to ask with an unkind expression.

"That goes without saying." Cao Zhiqiang shrugged.

"No matter what the reason is, it is a fact that your husband cheated on you first.

In this case, the fault is your husband, and it is a legitimate choice for you to file for divorce.

Anyway, if I were you, I would definitely get a divorce as soon as possible, so that I would not choose not to divorce after a big fuss, and then come back to anger my family.

Just kidding, you are not a child, and marriage is between you and your husband. Do you need to discuss it with your family if you want to get divorced?

As long as you and your husband agree, it’s okay?

And your husband didn’t file for divorce first?

That's just right, take the opportunity to put forward conditions, such as giving you half of the property, and then get a happy divorce.

Don't want a child, having a child is a hassle. If the child is raised by the other party, you can just take the money, happily be a single aristocrat, and continue to look for the next stop of happiness. How great.

This is not the old society, where women are men’s appendages, and divorce is not the end of the world.

If you like it, stay together; if you don't like it, stay together. It's reasonable.

Especially now, you should take advantage of the other party's mistakes and make more demands, such as asking for more money as compensation.

On the contrary, what you are doing now is that you hit your mistress, angered your husband, ran back in anger, angered your own family, and made you feel lonely and deserted.

Hey, sister, okay, why did you make such trouble with yourself?

You are obviously the victim, but why does it feel like you are the one who made the mistake?

I really feel sorry for you and feel sorry for you!"

Hao Shuwen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly slapped her thigh: "That's so right, so right! Good brother, I knew you understood me, you understand me!"

Cao Zhiqiang pouted: "Do you understand this? I just talked about my personal feelings and what I would do if I were you.

Anyway, in something like this, if the other party cheats first, then it means the other party is wrong, and it is a principled mistake.

Divorcing because of the other party's cheating is so normal, there's nothing wrong with it."

"That's right!" Hao Shuwen slapped her thigh again, "I think so too. I'm obviously the victim, so why does it seem like it's because of me that he, surnamed Chen, cheated on her with his mistress?

And it’s obviously the other party’s fault, so why should my family say that I’m wrong, and why should I ask him to apologize and ask for forgiveness? Isn’t this confusing right and wrong?”

Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "Actually, sister, I guess your parents and your brother may not understand the problems involved. They may not know that you are the victim and your husband is at fault.

But, sometimes, many things cannot simply be judged as right or wrong, especially for a family like yours. Many things are not just about who is right and who is wrong, but about the trade-off between interests."

After a pause, Cao Zhiqiang continued: "I estimate that there should be some interests involved between your father and your father-in-law, or your brother and your husband, and it is not just for the sake of face.

Otherwise, your parents are older and belong to the older generation, so they may advise you to settle down and swallow your anger because of face and old ideas.

But why should your brother ask you to apologize? This makes no sense.

Wait, if I'm not wrong, there isn't any business dealings between your brother and your husband, right?"

"You're right!" Hao Shuwen nodded, "My brother and my husband do have business dealings."

"My brother was originally an ordinary clerk in the Ministry of Ordnance Industry.

At the beginning of this year, my brother contracted a trading company affiliated with the Ministry of Ordnance Industry.

This company doesn't do anything else but just buy electronic products back and forth with my husband.

Among them, my brother mainly relies on my husband's company. If my husband's company stops cooperating with my brother, then my brother will be in trouble.

Maybe it’s for this reason that my brother and my sister-in-law urged me to get back together with my husband.”

"Isn't that enough?" Cao Zhiqiang spread his hands, "Your brother doesn't want you to divorce your husband because of his own interests. Because you and your husband don't divorce, your brother and your husband are relatives. If something happens,

Easy to talk to.

But if you divorce your husband, then your husband and he are no longer relatives, and may even become enemies, which is not a good thing for business.

Although I don't know the specific situation, from your words and your brother's behavior, it can be seen that it is your brother who wants more from your husband at the moment, not the other way around.

So from the perspective of interests, it is perfectly normal for your brother and your sister-in-law to oppose your divorce.

As for your parents, if my prediction is correct, they were probably influenced by your brother. In order to protect your brother's interests and because they felt that you would suffer more from a divorce, they advised you not to divorce.

In short, your parents and your brother and sister-in-law evaluate your marriage more from the perspective of interests, which cannot be said to be wrong.

Judging from your current actual situation, you have no job and are a full-time housewife. Once you get divorced, it will be really difficult for you if your parents don't care about you."

"You look down on me too?" Hao Shuwen stared into Cao Zhiqiang's eyes and asked.

"Of course not!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "Sister, thanks to your respect, you recognized me as your godbrother.

I am a person who is good at everything, but I can't stand this kind of thing where I am obviously sacrificing other people's interests for my own benefit, and still calls it good for you.

So, you are looking for the right person.

Maybe your parents and brothers really don't care about you, at least not in the short term, because they want to use this to force you to bow your head and force you to go back and continue living with your husband.

But I won't.

I will not only arrange a good job for you, but also arrange a place for you to live."

"Really?" Hao Shuwen asked in surprise, "You will really arrange a job for me and a place to live?"

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang sighed, "You came at the right time. I just happened to buy a courtyard house on the Xihai side. It has everything. If you don't dislike it, go live there first.

Just work..."

After a pause, Cao Zhiqiang squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Hao Shuwen's figure and face.

Hao Shuwen was embarrassed to be looked at. She subconsciously twitched her feet and lowered her head: "You, why do you look at me like that?"

Cao Zhiqiang touched his chin: "Sister Hao, do you want to be a star?"

"Be a star?" Hao Shuwen was stunned, raised her head and looked at Cao Zhiqiang, "What do you mean?"

Cao Zhiqiang said: "To be honest, I just opened an audio and video company and am planning to release a record.

As for the first album, I arranged the music, wrote the lyrics, played and sang myself, and recorded it myself.

The recording has ended, and we are currently working hard to produce tapes and stock up. Once a certain amount is stocked, we will officially launch the product.

But for now, in our audio and video company, I am the only artist.

This will definitely not work. We will definitely develop and expand in the future and sign more artists.

Sister Hao, your image is absolutely fine, and I remember that you can also play the accordion and guitar, which is a plus.

I don’t know how good your singing is."

"Of course I have no problem singing!" Hao Shuwen said immediately, "I have been the lead singer of the school chorus since I was in elementary school."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "That's no problem.

Therefore, if you are willing, I am willing to sign a formal employment contract with you in the name of Huaxia Audio and Video Company, making you our official contracted artist.

When the time comes, I will first package you as a singer, sing popular songs and make records, and then see if you can become an actor, develop in multiple ways, and eventually make you a big star with both fame and wealth.

During this period, you will not only receive a fixed salary every month, but you will also receive additional dividends once you release a record or act in a movie or TV series.

I dare not say anything else. As long as you are willing to listen to my arrangements, an annual salary of 100,000 yuan is absolutely no problem."

"An annual salary of one hundred thousand?" Hao Shuwen opened her mouth wide, "That's not the way to brag, right?"

Cao Zhiqiang pouted: "Whatever you think, just say whether you are happy or not."

Hao Shuwen thought for a while and said: "You mean, you want me to be a singer? You will write songs for me? I will sing?"

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "So, are you happy to be a star?"

Hao Shuwen thought for a while, then nodded fiercely: "You will definitely not harm me, and I know your musical talent best, so I am happy!"
