In feudal society, women have no status and no dignity, just like the "tools" of the family, and the task of women in feudal society is to teach their husbands and children and do housework. Because of the shackles of traditional thinking, many women can not escape the shackles of fate, their lives have been arranged from birth, although some women also try to control their own destiny, do not want to be controlled by others, but in the end most of them ended in failure.
"The eldest sister is like a mother" is a description of the eldest daughter in a family, in the previous society, the eldest daughter had to take on a lot of responsibilities, to take care of the family, to take care of younger siblings, this role is like a mother. Zhang Shoufang, the sister of Zhang Xueliang, the young marshal of the Republic of China, is such a woman, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Shoufang is a hot and casual woman, with a very tough personality, but how is the real Zhang Shoufang.
First, experience all kinds of twists and turns
Zhang Shoufang is the eldest daughter of the grand marshal Zhang Zuolin, but her life is not easy and happy, Zhang Shoufang was just born when Zhang Zuolin's career was in its infancy, all day running east and west, did not have a day of stability, Zhang Zuolin did a lot of work when he was young, selling burnt cakes, pulling cars and running errands, as long as it is able to make money, as long as it is able to make money, Zhang Zuolin met the original wife Zhao Chungui, the Zhao family also had a certain power at that time.
Zhang Zuolin was able to develop by relying on his wife and father-in-law, but due to the unstable situation, Zhao Chungui and Zhang Zuolin did not live a comfortable life after marriage, in order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy family, Zhang Zuolin took his wife and eldest daughter Zhang Shoufang to hide around. Because of this, Zhang Shoufang has experienced many winds and waves, seen the ups and downs of the world at this time, and this arduous journey has allowed Zhang Shoufang to develop a strong character, no matter what difficulties she encounters, she can solve it alone.
Zhang Xueliang was born when the family fled, Zhang Xueliang was born in a carriage by Zhao Chungui, Zhang Shoufang was still very young, but because there was no one to take care of her mother who had just given birth, the young Zhang Shoufang took on the responsibility of taking care of her mother. He took care of his mother while coaxing his young brother. Later, Zhang Zuolin's career gradually improved, and the family finally lived a stable life.
Later, Zhang Shoufang's sister and brother followed their parents to the northeast, and Zhang Zuolin's position in the northeast became more and more stable, but the family's relationship gradually deteriorated. Zhang Zuolin is a person who can do great things, but he is very confused in handling household affairs. After the development of Zhang Zuolin, forgot the help of his wife Zhao Chungui and the old man, began to dislike the original wife, in a fierce quarrel, Zhao Chungui directly returned to his mother's home with three children, and Zhang Zuolin turned a blind eye to this.
Second, the real eldest sister is like a mother
Zhao Chungui, who came to his mother's house, was very resentful in his heart, and he accompanied Zhang Zuolin to start from scratch, experienced countless twists and turns, suffered countless hardships, and gave birth to three children for him, but Zhang Zuolin wanted to abandon his wife after making a fortune, and the depressed Zhao Chungui gradually fell ill and lay in bed all day to wash his face with tears. Seeing his mother like this, as a daughter Zhang Shoufang felt very uncomfortable, he once wrote to his father to ask him to visit his mother.
But Zhang Zuolin thought that his wife was gambling with himself, and after a while, he was fine, so he ignored his daughter's request. This made Zhang Shoufang and his father estranged, very disappointed in Zhang Zuolin's irresponsible father, and later Zhao Chungui died of illness, Zhang Zuolin knew that his wife was really seriously ill, but it was too late. The death of his mother made Zhang Shoufang hate his father so much that if his father could come to see his mother, such a thing would not happen.
After Zhao Chungui's death, Zhang Zuolin took his daughter and son to the Marshal's Mansion in the northeast and let them live here with peace of mind, although this was his home, Zhang Shoufang did not feel a little warmth. The Marshal's Mansion also housed Zhang Zuolin's aunts and wives, as well as their children.
Zhang Shoufang knew that her mother had passed away, and without the protection of her mother, their sisters and brothers would not be well, and her mother told Zhang Shoufang before she died that she must take good care of her brother, so she must be strong and not let others bully their brothers and sisters.
When I first arrived at the Marshal's Mansion, Zhang Zuolin's aunts and wives were very dissatisfied with Zhang Shoufang's sisters and brothers, after all, these three sisters and brothers were concubines, and they would definitely divide up the family property in the future, so they were embarrassed zhang Shoufang's sisters and brothers everywhere, but Zhang Shoufang was not timid at all, she was a person who had seen the wind and waves, and she was also the eldest sister, so she must protect her brother, and every time she was bullied, Zhang Shoufang would stand up and resist, or even move.
This made the aunts and wives of the Marshal's Mansion very helpless about this, and Zhang Zuolin was also very tolerant of Zhang Shoufang, once Zhang Zuolin took a leather whip to beat Zhang Xueliang, who made a mistake, zhang Xueliang, as the eldest son, was placed high hopes by his father, and Zhang Xueliang would be severely reprimanded by his father for anything wrong.
Zhang Shoufang saw that his brother was taught a lesson, and threatened his father with a knife, saying that he was going to cut off Zhang Zuolin's head, these words did not make Zhang Zuolin angry, probably out of guilt for the original match, Zhang Zuolin expressed his acquiescence to Zhang Shoufang's behavior as if he was afraid of this daughter, just silently left.
3. Accept arranged marriages for your brother
Seeing Zhang Zuolin's attitude towards Zhang Shoufang, the aunts and wives of the Marshal's Mansion all felt that Zhang Shoufang was not simple, and they were even more in awe of Zhang Shoufang, only Zhang Shoufang herself knew that she was only doing this to protect her brother and did not want him to be bullied by others.
She had to disguise herself strong, like a hedgehog, to keep others away, and later when Zhang Shoufang reached the age of marriage, Zhang Zuolin promised her to Bao Yinglin, the son of the Heilongjiang overseer, and the marriage was actually to consolidate Zhang Zuolin's position in the northeast.
If placed in normal times, the fierce Zhang Shoufang may not agree to this marriage, after all, she has not even seen Bao Yinglin's face, but this time Zhang Shoufang agreed for the first time, she wants to use the power of the Bao family to help Zhang Xueliang, even if she marries in the past and is not welcome, but it is still possible to have such a patron, Zhang Shoufang who married to her in-laws did not have a good life, and then Zhang Zuolin died, Bao Yinglin looked down on Zhang Shoufang even more, and repeatedly proposed a divorce, but Zhang Shoufang always disagreed.
Later, Zhang Xueliang took over the Northeast Army, under the protection of his father and sister, Zhang Xueliang, who grew up, did not experience any hardships, did not know the dangers of the world, and finally ended up in a secluded end, and at this time Zhang Shoufang returned to his mother's house because he could not stay in his in-laws' house, but he was still worried about the safety of his brother.
