Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 1258

Chapter 1258: Chapter 1259: Envying the Wealthy

Old Zhou and his family returned home in fine attire, and indeed hosted several banquet tables at the Joy Soon Loy Restaurant. Cheng Su, being the owner of the restaurant and a family member of a fellow soldier, naturally had to be present. She generously waived many of the wine bills as a gesture of welcome and dust-clearing for Old Zhou and his family.

Back when Old Zhou was demobilized and changed careers, many people felt pity for them, but now seeing the way the couple carries themselves, it is no longer pity, but envy.

Frankly speaking, living in this world, whether it is joining the army or doing business, isn’t it all for the sake of the future, for fame, for profit, and for future generations and family?

Now that he’s no longer in the army, the only real loss is the chance to participate in authority, but he’s earned money, isn’t worried about food and drink, and doesn’t have to worry about raising future generations, so diving into business isn’t necessarily a bad thing after all.

These couple of years since Old Zhou and his spouse have ventured into business, many people have witnessed their success. After this meal, it was easy to discern some people’s dissatisfaction and jealousy, which in turn made Cheng Su’s worthiness even more appreciated.

When they fell into hard times, she didn’t look down on them, nor did she sneer at them. Now that they are prosperous, she doesn’t show jealousy or resentment, behaving just as she always does, with genuine character.

Both of them have lived in the Special Zone and have seen all sorts of odd and evil characters, so they’re worldly-wise now, fully aware of who can be sincerely befriended and who should just be a mere acquaintance.

So they remain polite on the surface, but the way they treat others genuinely varies.

The primary intent of Old Zhou and his spouse’s return was to reunite with comrades before the festival, and then make a brief trip back to their hometown. Now that Qi Taiguo is not around, Old Zhou left a phone number. When Qi Taiguo returns, they can meet up for a drink, and if not, they’ll have to wait until next time!

Cheng Su said there’s plenty of time and she plans to visit Guangcheng often in the future. With phones, keeping in touch is easy.

When the couple returned to their hometown, the people in the courtyard had a discussion about Old Zhou’s grand return. There were sighs, envy, praise, jealousy, and even harsh words, but Cheng Su just smiled and let it go.
