Back in the day, Uncle Zheng (Zheng Ershu) initially had no job and worked at Uncle Zheng's (Zheng Dabo) store as an assistant. Being an underling for his own brother, being ordered around, who could stand such humiliation? Although it wasn't like Uncle Zheng (Zheng Dabo) was genuinely mistreating his own brother, all the neighbors saw it. Uncle Zheng (Zheng Dabo) didn't really want to stay in the local area, which might have led to him mistreating his brother.
Regardless, Uncle Zheng (Zheng Ershu) married a capable wife, Aunt Zheng. Aunt Zheng came from a family with some connections and found Uncle Zheng (Zheng Ershu) a cushy position at the city management bureau. Uncle Zheng (Zheng Ershu) was a bit odd in those years, as he wasn't immediately brought into the civil service. Anyway, he seemed to have worked as a temporary employee at the city management bureau for a long time. But he managed to make quite something out of this temporary position.
