Xiuhe, one of the heroines in "Orange Red", is a weak woman who has just lost her mother, her brother and sister-in-law are very indifferent to her, and the rent she owes to the Rong family is not enough for a while, and the strong Xiuhe kneels in the rain on a rainy day and begs the eldest wife for a grace time, and when the mother's matter is over, she will definitely find a way to repay it.
At a certain moment, the eldest lady saw that the young Xiuhe was very similar to herself at that time, and she moved her heart of compassion.
Thinking of the relationship with the old man Rong Yaohua, the eldest wife wanted to use Xiuhe to win over the old man. Over the years of getting along, the eldest wife thinks that no matter what kind of scenery the old man has in his career outside, he has also married the second wife, and he still loves himself in his heart, but he can't have children, but this Xiuhe must be able to, and her young body will definitely be able to add a child to the Rong family.
So the eldest wife was extra gracious, exempted the Xiuhe family from rent, and gave Xiuhe's brother and sister-in-law a lot of money, which was like a pie in the sky at that time, at the cost that Xiuhe had to be the third wife of the Rong family and bear the responsibility of inheriting the incense for the Rong family. At the same time, if possible, it is also necessary to use Xiuhe to defeat the second wife in the city.
Throughout the story, the eldest wife of Cimei is always a benefactor, she is exempt from the rent of the Xiuhe family, and she carries a rich dowry, giving the old man enough to turn over and break into a career. She is guarding the orangery, waiting for the old man to return, in her heart, there must be two contradictions, on the one hand, I hope that the old man will fail to start a business, so he will return to the orange garden, run the orange garden with her, and live a fairy-like life; on the other hand, he hopes that the old man's career can succeed, so as to show the strength of the old man as a man, and at the same time, he must prove to others that his eyesight is right, and he has picked such a good man!
On the surface, the eldest lady is like a savior, saving two people, Rong Yaohua and Xiuhe, both of whom have to go against their own hearts to be kind to her and do something they are not willing to do because they want to be grateful to her. In fact, the eldest lady is pitiful and pathetic, she is extremely unloved, but she is not satisfied, so she has to use her kindness to ask others to satisfy herself.
1. The eldest wife's kindness to Rong Yaohua
Tracing the first encounter between the two of them, it was Yung Yaohua, who was studying outside, his father was seriously ill, the family was in the middle of the road, the orangery was bankrupt, and the buyer was the father of the eldest wife. The eldest wife, Rong Yaohua, was a few years old, graceful, and good-looking, and the two fell in love at first sight, and finally, with their rich dowry and orange garden, they married Rong Yaohua.
This is the first step for Rong Yaohua to start a business and start a capital. With a dowry and an orange orchard, and having received the glory of new ideas outside, how can we be willing to live a lifetime of mediocrity in the glory brought by the eldest wife? He left the orangery to create a family property outside that was truly in his own right.
Rong Yaohua is a person who attaches great importance to face and reputation, and he is bent on working hard in Shanghai to prove to the world that rong Yaohua is not a soft egg of his wife, but a man who stands tall in the sky. Heaven also gave him a flexible mind and a sociable skill, and soon broke out of the world in Shanghai, and soon married the second wife Yu Yanhong in the social field.
As a man, the shadows behind his career success that cannot see the light are the pains that he does not want to mention to others. In the face of the eldest wife, he always regarded her as a benefactor, and gave him "another village of willows and dark flowers" in "Mountains and Rivers Have No Way Out"! While he was grateful, he was still unwilling to face a constant reminder to him: This woman was his benefactor, the benefactor who saved him from fire and water and sent charcoal in the snow!
The wife and the benefactor could not be one person, and since the eldest wife had never been able to give birth to a man and a half woman, in the conception at that time, it was thought that the eldest wife could not do it. Then there was enough reason to stay away from the eldest wife and rightfully settle down another home in the city.
Away from the benefactor, without being reminded from time to time, and freely removing that layer of shackles, Rong Yaohua finally got rid of the guilt of the eldest wife! This was what he did from the very beginning to his eldest wife who was kind to him.
Later, when he knew that it was his own problem that led to the absence of children, he made a 360-degree turn - he took the eldest wife and Xiuhe back to the orange orchard, and removed all those years of self-righteous indebtedness, and he was very good to the big tai, as if at this time they had become one and became a real couple.
Coupled with the second wife Yu Yanhong's denunciation, Rong Yaohua showed an old attitude of having more than enough heart and insufficient strength, and at this time, the eldest wife came forward to solve the matter and successfully defended his dignity as a man. At this time, it is not grace, but the gentle and considerate kindness of a wife for her husband, but Rong Yaohua knows a little late!
2. The eldest lady's kindness to Xiuhe
Xiuhe became the third wife of the Rong family in order to repay the eldest wife's kindness to her family's rent-free, and became related to the sixth brother glory Hui Baitang who replaced Rong Yaohua. However, Rong Yaohua was unable to return to the orange garden because the second wife had a stem from it, but from the photos of Xiuhe sent to him, he liked it a little.
Here Xiuhe and Glory Hui, on the other hand, secretly had feelings for each other in the back and forth, and almost broke free of the cage of this feudal family - they met Rong Yaohua who returned to the orange garden from the city at the railway station.
Everything had to go according to order, Xiuhe lost the courage of self-determination in this torrent, she had to submit to the arrangement of Rong Yaohua and the eldest wife, and tried her best to do a good job as the third wife, the identity of this feudal etiquette, temporarily suppressing her desire for new ideas and new life, but never forgetting glory!
Rong Yaohua gradually fell in love with the young Xiuhe, and his favor for her even greatly exceeded that of the eldest wife and the second wife, however, the cause in the city needed him more, and he could not always indulge in the gentle countryside. Xiuhe could have lived peacefully with the eldest wife in the countryside, living this kind of life in a long wait, but the eldest wife was waiting for love, waiting for the second spring, and Xiuhe was just waiting for a fatherly lover, with skin relatives, two hearts but very far apart lover. The second wife provoked Xiuhe from it and said that xiuhe was moved to go to her home in the city.
In this conspiracy and love competition, Xiuhe is just a pawn of the eldest wife and the second wife, and where they need to put Xiuhe, Xiuhe has to go. And Xiuhe is rebellious, the grievances she has suffered, Rong Yaohua looked at it in her eyes, and she cared for Xiuhe even more.
Although the eldest lady has some motherly affection for Xiuhe, she has given her the responsibility that must be completed, that is, to give birth to a child of the Rong family. She exchanged reciprocal exchanges of kindness and responsibility for Xiuhe, so that in the end, Xiuhe tried her best to give birth to a child and bleed to death in order to repay this favor.
It can be said that it was this kindness of the eldest wife who took Xiuhe's young life. She already knew from the doctor that Xiuhe was not suitable for pregnancy and would be life-threatening, but when the child came, she completely took the doctor's words as the wind in her ears. Finally, when Xiuhe showed signs of dystocia, it was too late for them to wake up, and Xiuhe was already doing her best for a new life of freedom, and finally fought for her life.
Write at the end
The eldest lady is an old woman who believes in the principle that "husband is heaven". Restrain yourself in everything, do not express it, thinking that the old man has always had her in his heart, but the truth is that the old man just does not want to face his wife who has been kind to him, and more importantly, this wife is very good, can manage the housekeeper, although illiterate, but the orangery is running very well!
As the husband of this kind of woman, there is some pressure. He can only use his talents outside and break out of the world.
Xiuhe is unfortunate, and her greatest misfortune is that she has a face that resembles that of a big lady, and that face once made the old man fall in love at first sight. And this face is now young, she will still attract the eyes of the old man, Xiuhe is a trump card for the eldest lady to keep the old man. In fact, one night, the old man found that Xiuhe had the shadow of the eldest wife, and immediately drove Xiuhe away. This shows that the old man still has not been able to let go of the big wife!
The eldest lady is self-righteous, she single-handedly directed the tragic life of Xiuhe, and she pressed the stop button of a young and fresh life in the way of grace and gratitude.
Zhang Ailing said at the end of "The Golden Lock": Over the years, she (Cao Qiqiao) used the golden shackle to kill several people, and those who did not die also lost most of their lives!
But the eldest wife tied Xiuhe with rent-free kindness, so that she did not breathe freely, love was lost, and the future freedom needed a rong family child to exchange! In the end, she used the shackles of grace to chop Xiuhe to death.
