Early 1920s
Zhu Huatang, the owner of the pawnshop in the ancient city of Jiangnan
Single-handedly control the pawnshop business of the whole city
No one does not envy his family's great cause
Careers are in full swing
Although it is a leader in the industry
Zhu Huatang also had his own troubles
Originally, he had two sons under the zhu family
It is a pity that the eldest son, who is diligent and inquisitive, is studying in the distance
Accidentally encountered a tsunami and fell into the sea and drowned
The second son, Zhu Zhenghui, is also a Dou who cannot support the wall
Zhu Zhenghui
Every day, I have to make a little mess to clean up the house
Coupled with Mrs. Zhu's pampering of this only son
This makes him more and more pampered and arrogant
Zheng Hui, who got up early in the morning and did not want to go to the academy
A vigorous pestering mother to buy a kaleidoscope to play
And Mrs. Zhu wanted her son to obediently go to the academy to listen to books
Naturally, he also paid for it without hesitation
When the mother and son went together to ask Zhu Huatang for peace
Zhu Huatang, who was deaf and blind, heard it at once
The clanging copper coin in Zhenghui's pocket
He guessed that it was the wife's mother
The habitual child who is sneaking in the back of the field
At that moment, he slapped Zhenghui hard
Say that sooner or later this family will let him lose
Zhu Huatang was already extremely disappointed in this contrarian son
Even Mrs. Zhu's mother suffered
Zhu Zhenghui and his mother
Zhenghui, whose self-esteem was frustrated, turned negative and left
The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became in order to get revenge
Simply skin and suck the skin of my father's favorite cat
Sneaky thrown into the bed where the parents slept
Mrs. Zhu finished washing up that night and prepared to rest
I opened the curtain and saw a scene that almost didn't faint
Angered, Zhu Huatang's heart sank
This must have been a good deed done by Zhu Zhenghui, an unfilial son
He was furious and prepared to go to Zhenghui to settle the account
However, Zhenghui, who is a thief with a weak heart, chose to pretend to sleep
In the end, this farce was forced to endure by Zhu Huatang
He tried to comfort himself by saying that Zhenghui was only young
Maybe when you grow up, your mentality will mature
In a flash, the time came to ten years later
At this time, Zhenghui has been from the little fart of that year
He has grown into a tall guy who is one meter tall and eight meters tall
However, his habits as a human being were not corrected
Not only that, but he even contracted the vice of gambling
Every night out and early home, I mess around in the casino
Self-abandonment regarded his father as an enemy
The little lady in the house, Ah Fang
Because of some of his posture, he was often teased by him
However, Ah Fang's heart has long belonged to another
What she liked was that she was sold into the house in the same year as her
Thick and honest fish killer Tian Qi
Tian Qi, too, is deeply in love with Ah Fang
He worked desperately every day to make money
Longing to one day give Ah Fang a happy home
But I don't know when this dream will come true
This night the stubborn Second Young Master Zhenghui
He itched his hands and tried to sneak out to gamble
He also asked Tian Qiqi to open the door for him
But no one expected that the old man would suddenly appear
Grab Zhenghui, who is trying to escape
The angry old man even used the family law on him
See if breaking one of his arms can be remembered for a long time
However, this proved to make sense
In addition to the huge medical expenses to be posted
There is no other effect
I see myself getting older
This one son under his knees is so wasteful and incompetent
Old Master Zhu had to entrust someone to get two long guns
Don't worry about your family business
His pawnshop is one of the best in the city
There are also countless rare treasures in the warehouse
But this day the old bustard in the city
Brought a jade object called "Mouth Plug"
But it made Old Master Zhu's eyes shine with love
The old bustard said it was a relic of their flower house pink head
Ignorant of the goods, she gave this thing to the pawnshop at a low price
This made Old Master Zhu smile and keep his mouth shut
You must know that this "mouth plug" is a valuable treasure
In ancient times, those royal nobles were afraid of rotting their bodies after they died
Just stuff such a piece of jade in the corpse's mouth
Those who can use this thing are either rich or expensive
I don't know which loser gave it to the powder
The whirling flowed into his Zhu Huatang's pocket
Because of the fear that such treasures will be remembered in the warehouse
Old Master Zhu then decided to temporarily entrust it to Mrs. Zhu for safekeeping
He also specifically instructed her not to tell anyone about this
But Mrs. Zhu, who has long hair and short hair
It was something that was plucked out of the mouth of a dead man
Suddenly, the heart and eyes responded
For days in a row she had nightmares one after another
Depressed, she could only complain to her son
And when Zhenghui heard that his father was such a precious thing
Immediately, a ghost idea arose in my heart
Even the family affair that his mother wanted to introduce him
He also refused without hesitation
What's so bad about a person eating nonsense
Why can't you think of finding a woman to annoy yourself
As soon as Mrs. Zhu heard this, she immediately fell asleep
At night, she snot and tearfully talked to the old man about this matter
And the old man also hummed disdainfully:
"This evil obstacle is notorious
If it weren't for our business here
Who would choose to marry his daughter to him
He was glad that he was reluctant to get up
My family must not be defeated in his hands
I want to take another concubine and have another son!" ”
And the beautiful lady in the family
Undoubtedly, it was the best choice for him to take a concubine
Ah Fang
This decision of Old Master Zhu came suddenly
It made Mrs. Zhu, who was already sad, cry even more silently
But in that era, men's words were like heaven
What dissatisfaction did she have with a woman?
Soon word spread that Old Master Zhu wanted to take a concubine
Ah Fang, who had a bitter word, cried and asked Tian Qiqi to take her away
And Tian Qiqi did not expect the woman he had a crush on
In the end, he was actually taken in by the boss
He couldn't watch Ah Fang fall into the arms of others
In the end, he decided to pluck up the courage to intercede with the old man
But I didn't wait for him to open that mouth
The old man suddenly threw the key to the storeroom to him
He also said that he had seen his sincerity in his eyes over the years
From now on, the storehouse will be under his control
How could Tian Qiqi not understand what the old master meant
In the face of love and the future
He eventually chose the latter
The jade mouth plug that was tabooed by Mrs. Zhu
It was also put back into the warehouse for safekeeping
In the blink of an eye, Yuwa Pawnshop arrived
Annual warehouse inventory
The crowd gathered together from the jade bracelet to the ring
But only found that the old man's most precious "mouth plug" was missing
Tian Qi and the Second Young Master
As the treasurer in charge of the key to the warehouse
Tian Qi' naturally blamed on this matter
The angry old man hung him up and beat him severely
Koda Clenched his teeth and insisted that he had been wronged
Old Master Zhu had some doubts about whether he was wrong to blame someone
He asked Madame who else had told her about it
Look at the way Madame's eyes are dodging
He knew that it was the contrarian who did it
Zhu Zhenghui confessed to stealing his mouth
And the mouth plug had been taken by him to another pawnshop
When 400 oceans were spent on casinos
Hearing this, Old Master Zhu was furious
Decided to speed up the pace of having a baby with Ah Fang
Kick this useless contrarian out of the house early
The jade mouth was stuffed the next day by Old Master Zhu
Redeemed for 400 more oceans
And for Tian Qiqi was beaten
Old Master Zhu also personally came to the door to offer condolences
He asked Tian Qiqi not to tell the young master about stealing things
After all, the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized
Of course, he would not let Tian Qibai be beaten in vain
In the days to come, he would definitely reuse Tian Qi
Tian Qi, who had received these words, suddenly had a bottom in his heart
After he was healed, he took the chicken feathers as an arrow
He even had the courage to let Zhenghui stay away from the storeroom
Unexpectedly, Zhenghui, the young master, did not take him seriously at all
He ridiculed Tian Qi, who took himself too seriously
It's just a dog by the old man's side
The old man wants a son and you let him sleep with your woman
But it is really filial enough and really loyal enough
Tian Qiqi was attacked by these words
In the end, he could only leave with a sense of anger
Zhenghui's revenge on his father is far from over
Because his father was not kind to him, he blamed him for being unjust
Zhenghui thinks he wants to hit a person
You must choose the things that the other party cares about most
He knew what his father wanted most now
It is to replace him with another son
So Zhenghui hooked up with Ah Fang
Let Ah Fang conceive his child Zhu Zhenghui
And Old Master Zhu still foolishly thought that he was old and strong
So quickly let the old Zhu family have a queen
For a time, the whole house celebrated in unison
Only Ah Fang was alone and restless all the time
I am afraid that things will reveal my own death in the end
She found Zhenghui in the middle of the night
Let Zhenghui fulfill his promise to take her out of this place
But how could Zhenghui be willing to let go of this ten thousand family wealth
Elope with a woman from a little girl's background
During the dispute, Zhenghui was afraid of disturbing his father
A lost hand accidentally killed Ah Fang by mistake
At this time, Old Master Zhu had already been woken up
He came to the room and saw Ah Fang, who had two lives
And the contrarian who wants to climb over the wall and leave
Suddenly it felt like the sky was falling
Furious, he couldn't take much care of it
When even the orderer brought the spear
Fu Kuro fired two shots in a row in the direction of Zhenghui
As for whether he was alive or dead, he didn't want to care anymore
And not long after that
Mrs. Zhu died because she could not resist the thought of her son
The old treasurer of the pawnshop also returned to his hometown because of an incident in his hometown
Tian Qiqi naturally took his place
He has become the most trusted right hand man of Zhu
Tian Qi
That summer in 1935
Old Master Zhu saw it again
The face he didn't want to see again when he died
Yes, Zhu Zhenghui, the young master of Zhu Province, had returned
He had never imagined that this contrarian son was still alive
And transformed into a political figure
It's just that his motives for coming back this time are a little chilling
He first found someone to use a fake jade turtle
Tricked the old man into a full 7,000 oceans
After learning the truth, Mr. Zhu was paralyzed by a stroke
Yuwa's pawnshop career also followed The body of Old Master Zhu
Gradually to the point of decay
Old Master Zhu, who was forced to a dead end, was helpless
He could only recognize Tian Qi, who had been with him in front of him
Inherited the pawnshop business of his old Zhu family for his son
From then on, Tian Qiqi will also change his surname to Zhu Qi
In the face of Old Master Zhu's decision, Tian Qi's words were no different
He only knelt silently
Bi respectfully shouted "Dad."
From a former fish killer to today's pawnshop owner
Zhu Qi's state of mind had long since changed from being as simple as before
He remembers everything in the past deeply
Especially those who had brought him humiliation
Zhu Qiqi invited Zhu Zhenghui to the old mansion
It seems to be reminiscing about the past, but it is actually planned for a long time
He beat zhu Zhenghui, who had insulted him, with a stick
Killed the unbearable memories of the past
From now on, he is the true successor of the Zhu family
No one can replace him again
As for the old bones on the bed that were vulnerable
He no longer has to pretend to him
It is often said that the hatred of wife-snatching is not shared
Mr. Zhu once took away his most beloved woman
And now he will be ruthless
Snatched away the mouth plug that had been treasured by Old Master Zhu for half a lifetime
It was bound to make him taste this feeling of loss as well
But now there is nothing left of Old Master Zhu
How could it have been hit like this
He got up in a huff
Chase after Zhu Qi's place
But he fell down without warning when he reached the lobby
Then he died so dramatically in front of his own hall
Zhu Qiqi ordered his subordinates expressionlessly
Wherever the old man died, it was set up in the spirit hall
Doing so will seem to the outside world to be doubly affectionate
Several people were left to dispose of the bodies
The rest should be done
Someone wanted to guard the spirit of this old master
But it was also stopped by the stern words of the new boss
At this time, Zhu Qi's was no longer there
That simple and simple fish-killing worker
In this human killing in the compound of the deep house
He became the big winner of the end
He became more ruthless and ruthless than the Zhu family father and son
Everyone says that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized
But this home is now nothing but ugly and evil
Is there anything else to speak of?
The film "Ugly Family" was released in Chinese mainland in 1994
Directed by Liu Miaomiao, Li Wannian, Wang Zhiwen, He Bing and others
The film is based on Ji Yu's novel Pawnshop
Some people say that movies in the past have always been so depressing
In fact, it is not the movie that is suppressed
It is a general phenomenon of that society of the past
The film is just in a narrative way
Bring the past to the present in front of everyone's eyes
It's dark, but it's real
Generation after generation was devoured
Each evil has its own retribution
The courtyard is deeply filled with scandals
Tian Qi's hatred had come from a long time
Those years of obedience and repression
In the end, it all turned into a full of hatred
The camaraderie between people disappeared in an instant
I responded to that sentence when I was a child, I was you
When you grow up, you become me
The harm that feudalism brings to society is
It may have long since become a thing of the past
But it still has an impact on life today
Many people are victims of feudal ideas
They still hold up those feudal ideas to this day
And put that view
Generation after generation is passed on to future generations
We've all been in certain ways
He was troubled and entangled in feudal thought
For example, men and women cannot be equal in social status
For example, the superstitious system is confusing
Although these problems still exist in society
But I still believe it
The future tomorrow will surely get better slowly
