In the 1990s, there was a well-known gangster brother in Heze City, Shandong Province, called Miao Qiang.
He was once a veteran of the army, because he was particularly capable of fighting, he actually attracted many hooligans to worship as the eldest brother, and he had more than 280 subordinates at most, and his influence spread to many surrounding cities and counties.
In Heze City, this black boss fights and makes trouble, extorts and extorts, and almost does nothing evil.
However, after 10 years of the black boss's underworld career, he suddenly informed many worshipper brothers that he decided to wash his hands in the golden basin. Not because of anything else, but entirely because of meeting a woman. What's going on?
Veterans metamorphose into "gangster bosses"
Miao Qiang was born in 1963 to a military family in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. My father joined the revolution in 1943 and was a soldier who gave his life to the revolution.
Since his ancestral home is in Shandong, his father came to Dingtao County, Heze City, Shandong Province, according to the organization after changing jobs. Miao Qiang has been mischievous since he was a child, and his father simply sent him to the military camp.
In the barracks, Miao Qiang received strict training from the army and trained a good body. After 3 years of military career, Miao Qiang has become a good guy with a big waist and a round waist.
After being discharged from the army in 1982, Miao Qiang was assigned to work as a worker in a timber factory under the Material Bureau in Dingtao County. Although he was a veteran, he was still very young at this time, and a good life was beckoning to him.
Miao Qiang grew up in the south, he did not speak much about Shandong, coupled with his 3-year military camp career, his dress, language and even walking style were different from the young people in Dingtao County.
As the saying goes, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind. There were a few street thugs who looked at a Mandarin speaker, and Miao Qiang, who was dressed avant-garde, was quite upset. One of the bolder ones came forward to provoke and scolded Miao Qiang for being a "southern barbarian".
Miao Qiang was strong in blood and qi at this time, where he could withstand such a prodding, he immediately jumped out and had to "put it right". This does not show weakness, and fights when he pulls away. But this person was Miao Qiang's opponent, and he was knocked to the ground with three punches and two kicks.
Miao Qiang thought that this matter was over. But one day, the beaten called two well-known on the surrounding street and blocked him in a dead corner of the street.
In the face of the three big men, Miao Qiang had no fear, relying on the tough body board trained in his own troops to roll the three and urine streams. At this time, Miao Qiang was famous in Dingtao County, and there were "martial arts masters" five across the mountain to challenge, or one or a bunch.
Miao Qiang is a fierce character, and the other party has never been his opponent. If he encounters a group of people, he will take out some homemade weapons - steel pipes, knives together. One by one, this gang of couldn't get any advantage on him.
Since you can't beat him, join him – this is the eternal iron law of the street. On the one hand, these former "street fighters" were scared by Miao Qiang, and on the other hand, they really admired his neat and crisp skills, and even collectively wanted to worship "big brother".
This caught Miao Qiang, who ate soft and did not eat hard, a little off guard. Intellectually told him to draw a line with these hooligans, but after all, he was a young man who had just come of age, and he was very moralistic, and he couldn't help but praise and praise, and gradually walked around with these assholes.
In addition to teaching morality, Miao Qiang also has a hobby of drinking. He drank a lot of alcohol, not a pound or two, and was once punished by the army for drinking. After drinking, he often could not stand the encouragement of his brothers, so he went to fight and make trouble together. Over time, this gang of surrounded Miao Qiang's big brother and big brother and screamed non-stop.
In the winter of 1983, Miao Qiang entertained dozens of at a large hotel in his county. Of course, eating is inevitable to drink, in addition to drinking, Miao Qiang saw a huge restaurant, holding a bowl of liquor in his hand, calling him "big brother", and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.
Therefore, in front of these "rabble-rousers", Miao Qiang, who was only 20 years old, patted them on the chest and made an alliance with their blood, becoming the big brother of these people.
Since then, Miao Qiang has begun to "blacken" himself. He took his little brother with him and ran amok on the street, doing everything. If anyone on the road dares to look at them more, they will be punched and kicked by them. In the restaurant, Miao Qiang's gang eating "overlord meal" has become the norm, if they dare to have a store come up to collect money, they will immediately smash the store.
These people also know a lot about the "way to make money", and Miao Qiang led a "debt collection company". If someone owes money, they will rush to them to intimidate and intimidate, not only to get money, but also to take the sheep.
Miao Qiang's "fame" in Dingtao County and even the entire Heze City is getting louder and louder. There are chaotic leaders from surrounding counties who come to visit the wharf, and the underworld in Jinan and Zhengzhou have also contacted them.
These bad things that Miao Qiang did, his parents saw in their eyes, anxious in their hearts, and there was no less education and criticism in his ears. But Miao Qiang is no longer a child of the year, he has his own ideas in his heart, he says "change and change" on his lips, but in private he is the wind in his ears, and when he drinks small wine, he still goes his own way.
As a worker in a state-owned enterprise, there was no shortage of organizational persuasion to Miao Qiang to put him on the right path. But under the influence of the "buddies" around him, he adopted a confrontational attitude toward the organization's conversation, or used various reasons to hide from it, or only came over to walk through the motions.
Miao Qiang had previously married a woman named Liu Yu, don't look at him as a well-known "Chaos Demon King", but he is particularly good to his wife, the two sons QinSer and Ming, the feelings are good.
In 1986, Miao's father retired, and he and his wife moved to his hometown of Tengzhou, Shandong. With a family and a job, Miao Qiang had no reason to follow his father to Tengzhou, and he became more and more unruly, going out at both ends of the three days to "set things up" for his brothers. Liu Yu, who was weak in nature, couldn't do anything about him.
Miao Qiang's overheated behavior affected social stability, and more and more people reported him, and the Dingtao County Public Security Bureau decided to arrest him. But he was well informed, and every time he or the message escaped.
Miao Qiang has many roads, and there are people in the surrounding big cities who know each other, often going for a few months, waiting until the wind and waves are calm and coming back to be his "big brother". This caused a lot of headaches for the public security officers in Dingtao County. When he came and went, he saw that the public security bureau could not catch him, and he also relaxed his vigilance, thinking that this matter was over.
One day, a public security officer whom Miao Qiang knew came to him for a drink. Miao Qiang happened to have a drunken attack at this time, and without thinking about it, he followed the policeman into the tavern. After a heavy drink, Miao Qiang lay down on the dining table and fell asleep.
Miao Qiang woke up from the dream and found himself sitting in the torture room with his hands in handcuffs that were dangling brightly. It turned out that last night's police did not look for him to reminisce about the past, but to arrest him as a domineering "street fighter".
Although he was very unconvinced, under the stern interrogation of the public security, Miao Qiang admitted what he had done and was eventually sentenced to 3 years of re-education through labor.
Around the corner of release from prison meet true love
Time passed quickly, and in the middle of the summer of 1996, Miao Qiang was released after completing his sentence. When he opened his residence in Dingtao, Miao Qiang was dumbfounded. The old father and mother in the family are taking care of two children who are not careful, and the wife has long been unable to stand the white eyes of the world, drinking pesticides, and dying.
The tragic death of his wife gave Miao Qiang a huge blow. In his heart, he secretly believed that this was a "retribution" for his previous no evil deeds. But man is an animal that lacks self-control, and when the big and small in Dingtao County learned that the big brother Miao Qiang returned from prison and invited him to drink and eat, he gladly sat on the seat and broke the jar and broke it.
But the old mother in the family is old, the two children are waiting to be fed, Miao Qiang's top priority is to find a daughter-in-law to live with him. Under the introduction of relatives and friends, Miao Qiang met Zou Wenping.
The 31-year-old Zou Wenping is currently in the clothing business in Dingtao County, and he is beautiful and generous, capable and quite business-minded. Miao Qiang took a fancy to Zou Wenping at a glance, but he knew that what he had done before could not see the light, so he did not confide in the relationship.
But doing so was tantamount to covering his ears and stealing bells, and after a period of interaction, Zou Wenping knew Miao Qiang's "big name" in Dingtao County. Because of the previous unfortunate marriage, Zou Wenping knew that "women are afraid of marrying the wrong man", so he categorically proposed to Miao Qiang to break up.
After a period of contact, Miao Qiang had long been fascinated by Zou Wenping's character and charm. He thought in his heart that if he missed Zou Wenping, he would be the regret of this life.
The "bully head" who had been called "big brother" in front of him also leaned down at this time. Miao Qiang said to Zou Wenping: "I am truly in love with you, and I swear that I will definitely give you a happy life." ”
Later, he also told Zou Wenping that although he was "mixed" before, he was very good to his deceased wife, and now his two sons are ignorant and urgently need to form a family to live.
Zou Wenping's heart was soft, and he looked at Miao Qiang with hot tears but did not look like a pretend, so he agreed to touch it first. But she is a person who understands, and does not want to contact Miao Qiang so confusedly, and privately uses various means to investigate Miao Qiang's background.
After communicating with people familiar with Miao Qiang, Zou Wenping found that Miao Qiang was not the "bully" that everyone had word of mouth.
On the one hand, although Miao Qiang ran amok on the street, he never bullied women and children, and although he often fought and fought, he was still more measured and had to spare people.
On the other hand, Miao Qiang is very loyal to the feelings of men and women, and never tolerates the behavior of his subordinates in playing hooligans and bullying men and women. There were a few who broke the rules and were even beaten by him.
Although Miao Qiang was fierce, he had never touched his previous wife. After a few days of contact, Zou Yuping also felt that Miao Qiang was a person who was thick and thin, treated himself with courtesy, never did anything out of the ordinary, and seemed to be a "decent gentleman" in terms of male and female feelings, trustworthy.
But in order to live a life, we must let Miao Qiang get rid of this "black" problem. Once, Miao Qiang came to Zou Yuping with flowers in his hand. Zou Yuping immediately issued an eviction order: "I need a stable family, and a man from the underworld cannot live with me." ”
Miao Qiang was stunned with the flowers in his hand, not expecting that what he had done before now made his beloved people not accept him. Miao Qiang, who has always been rampant, shed unwilling tears.
Looking at a man who was five years old and three thick and left tears, Zou Yuping also softened his heart, and she said softly to Miao Qiang: "If you change this bad problem, then the two of us still have a glimmer of hope." ”
Hearing these words, Miao Qiang seemed to have caught a life-saving straw. He wiped his tears with his cuffs, stood up excitedly like a child, and said to Zou Yuping: "I must change my past mistakes, and please don't give up on me!" ”
Zou Yuping's family lives in the countryside, and there are many children in the family, and her parents have always taught her to be down-to-earth and diligent. She saw that Miao Qiang was so sincere, and thought to herself, if he could really be reborn, why not marry him?
Since then, Zou Yuping has become Miao Qiang's "helper teacher". Every day, he told him some of the "big truths" that Miao Qiang had heard enough: "Organizing the underworld is an act of disrupting society, and the real hero depends on how much contribution he has made to the country." "Now that the policy is so good, abiding by the law and developing the economy is our way out, not a day of doing nothing and picking quarrels and provoking trouble."
Strange to say, these "clichés" in the mouths of the community helpers came out of Zou Yuping's mouth, and Miao Qiang was very popular and regarded them as a guideline.
Seeing that Miao Qiang could listen to it, Zou Yuping was very happy, in addition to the "dry" preaching, she also used some examples to "educate" Miao Qiang.
Among these many examples, one touched Miao Qiang. A few years ago, a relative who was in the clothing business with Zou Yuping accidentally touched the feet of a jerk when moving things, and was beaten up by a gang of hooligans. Subsequently, the also let this relative set up a table to offer wine and invite guests, and spent hundreds of yuan to apologize to calm down the matter. The angry relative almost wanted to hang himself.
Miao Qiang was first angry when he heard this story, but thinking back to what he had done before, it seemed to be the same as this matter, and his heart was full of regret. Slowly, his tyrannical heart was touched by Zou Yuping. Gradually, the fight was no longer fought, the wine was rarely drunk, and the time to get together with the previous gang of buddies was also less.
Miao Qiang was slowly in the process of transformation, and Zou Yuping saw joy in his eyes. And Miao Qiang also took advantage of the hot iron and proposed to Zou Yuping. Zou Yuping felt that Miao Qiang was not a bad person, and that she was simple and straightforward, saying that she liked the character, so she agreed to his marriage proposal.
Loving his wife makes the "gangster boss" transform
The success of the marriage proposal is a great joy for Miao Qiang, but for Zou Yuping's relatives and friends, it has become a great disaster.
It turned out that Zou Yuping had been hiding from his family and interacting with Miao Qiang. For Miao Qiang's reputation, Dingtao County Road is well known, her parents and siblings avoid it, where would they think of becoming a family with him.
Zou Yuping's mother even held her leg in order to prevent her daughter from marrying Miao Qiang. Zou's father even put down his harsh words: "If you want to marry Miao Qiang, break off the father-daughter relationship." ”
But Zou Yuping took a fancy to Miao Qiang's prodigal son's enthusiastic heart. Despite the persuasion of her relatives and the ridicule of passers-by, she resolutely married into the Miao family in early 2000.
On the wedding night, remembering the humiliation and misunderstanding he had suffered, Zou Yuping not only cried bitterly. Miao Qiang was also in tears, and he made an oath in front of Zou Yuping: "If I Miao Qiang don't behave well, I'm sorry for you, I can't die of thunder and thunder!" ”
Miao Qiang's previous lumber mill business has been sluggish, and wages have not been paid. The two basically relied on Zou Yuping to sell clothes alone.
But the roof leaked during the overnight rain, and not long after the two were married, the timber factory became insolvent and quickly closed down. Miao Qiang stayed at home for a day and did nothing, and many of the "brothers" before he heard the news came to the door, drank and played cards, and the black smoke miasma at home was made.
Zou Yuping saw that the situation was not right, so he asked Miao Qiang to help her see the stall and sell clothes. But where is Miao Qiang this piece of material. At the beginning, he didn't cause any trouble, but as time went on, Miao Qiang's bad temper showed up, and when he saw the customers who didn't sell, he got angry, said rude things to people, and even rolled up his sleeves to prepare to beat people. Zou Yuping saw that Miao Qiang was not the material for selling clothes, so he had to find another way.
Just when the two were frowning, one day, Miao Qiang's uncle who made cement prefabricated board came to see the two mouths. From his uncle's mouth, Zou Yuping learned that the prospects of cement prefabricated panels were good and the risks were small, so he discussed with Miao Qiang to open a cement prefabricated panel factory. This idea coincided with Miao Qiang.
But everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is necessary to start a factory with start-up funds. Miao Qiang has been wandering in recent years, basically "two sleeves of fresh wind", and he has nothing on his body. Zou Yuping cashed out the façade of his own clothing, earned 50,000 yuan, and borrowed 50,000 yuan from his mother's family.
The Zou family was originally extremely dissatisfied with Zou Yuping's marriage, but the broken bones were connected to the tendons, and Miao Qiang seemed to have signs of reforming recently, so he happily gave 50,000 yuan to his daughter.
However, the starting capital of cement prefabricated panels is more than 300,000 yuan, zou Yuping and Miao Qiang have only got a third of it tightly, where to get the remaining 200,000? The two exhausted their means and were helpless.
At this time, the organization learned the news that Miao Qiang wanted to set up a factory, and thought that this was a good opportunity to transform Miao Qiang, so it gave him great support.
The director of the Material Bureau of Dingtao County personally guaranteed a loan of 200,000 yuan for him. As the "number one", the secretary of the county party committee personally stepped forward to let the tax bureau exempt Miao Qiang's prefabricated plate factory from tax for 3 years.
Miao Qiang is a hot-blooded man, after seeing so many people busy with his career, he couldn't help but be full of tears, he said excitedly: "If I Miao Qiang lose his wife, relatives and organization, is it still a person?" ”
At the end of May 2000, Miao Qiang's cement prefabricated panel factory began to come out and started to operate. For Miao Qiang to set up a factory, many people in Dingtao County hold the mentality of watching jokes, thinking that this "street fighter" cannot become a thing. Miao Qiang is nominally the director of the factory, but the things in the factory are all zou Yuping's busy before and after, which makes him feel bad in his heart.
The brothers who were mixed up on the road heard that Miao Qiang had become the director of the factory, and they came to him one after another to "reminisce about the past." They questioned him, and when they married their daughter-in-law, they forgot about their brothers who had been born and died before, and asked him to go out for a few drinks to celebrate Miao Qiang's appointment as the director of the factory.
If this had been put in the past, Miao Qiang would have slammed the door with these buddies and had a good drink. But he saw that Zou Yuping's face was displeased, and he swallowed the words to his mouth and refused them with his head bowed. In the end, the brothers are still not dead to this "big brother", and often come to the door again and again.
Once, Zou Yuping was not at home, and the brothers came to the door again. Miao Qiang, a man of morality and good face, felt that these days had also snubbed his brothers, so he agreed to them.
In the hotel, Miao Qiang "relapsed again" of the old disease, and helped the brothers to "set things up" together after drinking, fortunately did not cause trouble.
There was no impermeable wall, and Miao Qiang's actions eventually reached Zou Yuping's ears. Miao Qiang's old attitude made Zou Yuping angry and disappointed, and he wanted to have a fierce fight with him for a moment, but calm down and think about it, Miao Qiang wanted to completely break off relations with his old brothers, and freezing three feet was not a cold day.
Therefore, Zou Yuping said calmly to Miao Qiang: "You talk about righteous qi, which is an advantage, but you can't be without principles. So many people now want to see your jokes, now your focus should be on the family, the factory. The organization has now helped so much, how to repay the organization and give back to the society, this is the great righteousness! ”
Listening to this, Miao Qiang felt landless and self-conscious, apologized to Zou Yuping, and promised that he must deal with this "underworld" relationship.
In the winter of 2000, Miao Qiang invited dozens of brothers to his home for dinner. These brothers thought that Miao Qiang was going to take everyone to work together again, and they were secretly happy in their hearts.
Seeing that the brothers had all arrived, Miao Qiang bowed his hand to everyone and said in a loud voice, "I Miao Qiang did a lot of wrong things before, and now I have changed from evil to righteousness, and I can't be your big brother in the future." Today, to gather everyone over is to announce that the golden basin is washed, and then whoever goes on the right path, we are still good brothers, otherwise they will never come to me again. Miao Qiang waved his hand, and there was no sound underneath.
Husband and wife with one heart former "big brother" to become a "capable person"
After Miao Qiang announced that he had taken the right path, most people threw admiring and encouraging glances at him, but a few black people took this as a sign of his cowardice and even discouragement. Some brothers are not dead hearted, and they often come to Miao Qiang after fighting and losing money, and they are all blasted out of the house by him.
Miao Qiang's performance infuriated some extreme brothers. They thought that Miao Qiang was not moralistic, and gathered a group of people to come to the door to beat Miao Qiang. Miao Qiang, who has always been a dozen and ten, squatted in the corner of the wall with his head in his arms this time, letting these "brothers" kick and beat. After playing for a while, the gang also felt bored and left in a daze.
Slowly, these people did not look for Miao Qiang anymore. Miao Qiang believes that the reason why he has done a lot of things out of the ordinary before is because of wine, and he has made up his mind to quit drinking. Zou Yuping looked in his heart, happy in the top of his eyebrows, his husband really had to make up his mind to go the right way this time.
However, Miao Qiang's two sons are still laymen in cement prefabricated panels. Although Zou Yuping has many years of business experience, he does not know how to make prefabricated boards.
Quality is the life of the product, can not be sloppy. If you can't do it yourself, ask someone who will do it. Dingtao County has a tradition of making cement products, and there are many experienced technicians and workers. However, when Miao Qiang and Zou Yuping came to the door with gifts, they ate the closed door without exception.
It turned out that these masters all knew Miao Qiang's "big name" and did not dare to come to work in his factory. Working under him, not getting paid is secondary, maybe he will be beaten up. The matter of asking the master was in a stalemate, Miao Qiang was helpless, and the factory was afraid that it could not be built.
In the end, it was Zou Yuping who pulled Miao Qiang, who had a very strong self-esteem before, and went door to door with soft words to ask for each other, and finally impressed these technicians and masters. A teacher Fu also quipped: "Desperate Sanlang has become Liu Beisan Gu Maolu this time." Hearing such a joke, Miao Qiang also smiled red- and smiled, he did not expect that his previous reputation was so unbearable.
With technology, Zou Yuping and Miao Qiang have added a lot of strength to the control of raw materials - sand, cement, steel, etc., and the quality of the products produced by their prefabricated plate factory is not said.
With quality, sales become trouble again. Because Miao Qiang's "reputation" is still there, his factory has not sold a single product after opening. The shrewd Zou Yuping saw the situation and pulled in the monitors of the county quality supervision bureau and the county housing and construction bureau through the county justice bureau to inspect the scene. Under the strict monitoring of the quality inspectors, it was concluded that the products of Miaoqiang Cement Prefabricated Plate Factory were not only of excellent quality, but also exceeded the standard! As soon as the announcement came out, Miao Qiang's factory was a hit, and since no one cared about it to the shortage of supply, the two also made a lot of money.
In June 2003, Miao Qiang expanded production and established a curb stone factory, and the scale of operation was further expanded. Miao Qiang changed from a notorious underworld boss to a well-known entrepreneur.
At the end of 2003, due to his good performance, Miao Qiang became the manager of Dingtao County Timber Factory after organizational inspection and mass recommendation. From a laid-off worker in a timber factory to a leader, Miao Qiang has a hundred times more confidence. He entrusted the prefabricated plate factory and the curb stone factory to Zou Yuping, and he put all his energy into the timber factory.
The 100 employees laid off from the timber factory have been reemployed under the leadership of Miao Qiang. He is using the prodigal son to turn back and lead his colleagues in the lumber mill to create glory again.
Looking back at Miao Qiang's experience, he met the right person at a critical time. It was his wife, Zou Yuping, who pulled him along when he was about to fall into the abyss. We can only say that if there is a wife like this, why should the husband ask for it!
