China's modern history is an era of extremely fierce ideological impact. Under the general environment, feudal ideas are despised and rejected by people, and more and more people are moving in the direction of the trend of the times. Among them, the great writer Zhang Hexhui, as one of the representatives of the literati, his criticism of old ideas can be described as very fierce. But in this case, his family created a lot of spiritual influence on him.
At the age of 18, which is the right age to get married, Zhang Hexhui's family arranged for him to be a girl from a family of fallen scholars. After various circumstances, Zhang Hexhui decided to agree to this marriage arrangement. But at the moment when he untied the bride's hijab, the whole person was frightened and rushed out of the door, and frantically shouted to his mother: Mother! mother! So what's going on in the middle? What is so mysterious about the bride?
Zhang Hexhui accepted an arranged marriage
Things need to go back to 1913, when Zhang Hexhui was in a state of exhaustion. He received a new ideological education and was very repulsive to arranged marriages in the feudal era, but his mother Dai Shi was soft and him, which caused him a lot of trouble. Through the matchmaker, Dai Shi found a girl named Xu Wenshu for Zhang Hexhui. I heard that the family was born in the Shuxiang family, although the family gradually fell, but the external conditions of the other woman are better, which is a good choice.
Grinding out of the way, Zhang Hexhui proposed a compromise method. He believes that there are many problems caused by arranged marriages, and external conditions are on the one hand, and if the two people's three views are not compatible, it is certainly inappropriate. Zhang Hateshui hopes to see the other girl, and if he thinks he can get married again, it is not too late. Hearing this, the Xu family immediately vetoed it, itself arranged marriage is a matter of exquisiteness, where is the reason for the two to meet before marriage?
The matchmaker was in a hurry, and she had made a lot of effort to match this marriage. In the end, the matchmaker secretly took Zhang Hexhui to see the Xu family girl, and it would be best if the two of them closed their eyes. Zhang Hateshui agreed, he had already made preparations, when he saw the girl, he directly said that he was not satisfied, and no one persuaded him to make it, but at the moment of seeing the Xu family girl, Zhang Hexhui felt the heartbeat of excitement, full of surprise and joy, and he accepted!
Back at home, Zhang Hexhui directly expressed his thoughts to his mother, and he was willing to marry the Xu family girl. She didn't understand why her son was such a big contrast, but she was relieved to hear such a result. In this way, after the two people discussed the eight characters of the birthday, they quickly entered the marriage hall.
Zhang Hexhui realized that he had been deceived by the matchmaker
Zhang Hexhui entered the marriage room and lifted the bride's red hijab with anticipation, but at the moment he saw the other party's face, he was frightened and retreated. Where was the bride he had seen? Yellow short and fat, and tall and beautiful women have no edge at all, Zhang Hate Shui can not produce a good feeling. Thinking of this, he ran out in fear to find Dai: "Mother! mother! Come and see...". After Entering the cave, Dai Shi took a serious look at the bride, which was different from what the matchmaker said, and she realized that she had been deceived.
But how Xu Wenshu said that they were also marrying into the eight-wheeled caravan, it was a joke to send her back to her mother's house at this time, and it would be a bad person in the future. Thinking of this, Dai Shi could only persuade his son: you can't quit the marriage, otherwise the girl will not want to go to the end of the road, and when the time is right in the future, you can also marry a girl you like. Where did Dai Shi think that her words almost determined Xu Wenshu's life, even if she made all kinds of efforts, she could not get Zhang Hexhui a turn, and never moved the truth.
Since the beginning of this night, Zhang Hexhui has lived in the study, and he does not want to live in the same room with the woman he does not like. But everyone did not expect that this time the stay was half a year, and Xu Wenshu also became a veritable wife who guarded the empty house. Fortunately, she is much stronger than expected, and has been adhering to her daughter-in-law's duty for a long time, handling housework with a reserved business, and treating the elders and juniors without saying anything. Over time, Dai Shi was infected by this daughter-in-law, leaving behind this layer of not good looks, Xu Wenshu's personality is indeed very good, and her family has praised her one after another.
Half a year later, Zhang Left home to work for a newspaper in Hankou. For four years after that, the husband and wife had few opportunities to meet, zhang hated shuiquan when there was no such woman, the relationship between the two was as cold as frost, but it made Dai look a little anxious. Zhang Hateshui has never seen Xu Wenshu's gentle and watery side, all along, he has been immersed in the shadow of being deceived by the matchmaker, and Xu Wenshu has become a victim of the "accident".
Finally, her mother Dai Shi couldn't stand it anymore, and she went from the initial persuasion to the later mandatory operation, so that Zhang Hexhui and Xu Wenshu shared a room. Dai believes that his son can have no feelings for Xu Wenshu, but after all, he is a girl who is marrying in, and he must have a child to think about. In the end, Zhang Hexhui agreed to his mother's idea, and the marital love that had been absent for four years slowly arrived, and Xu Wenshu also gave birth to a daughter for the Zhang family.
Unfortunately, before Xu Wenshu could experience the happiness of being a mother, her child died for various reasons. This incident had a great impact on her heart, and it was also the time when she needed the company of others the most. At this time, Zhang Hexhui resolutely threw himself into his career, completely ignoring Xu Wenshu, who had lost his child, and the relationship between the husband and wife was once again deadlocked. Until 1920, under the tutelage of Dai, they had sex again, and Zhang Hexhui may have some debt to Xu Wenshu in his heart, and this time he did not have such a cold attitude, but it took long for Xu Wenshu to become pregnant.
This time Xu Wenshu gave birth to a son, and the appearance of the son filled the family with a lot of laughter, and Zhang Hateshui, who has always been serious, also became gentle. But no one could have imagined that the child would have a lung infection around the age of two and die prematurely! After the only contact between the two was broken, Zhang Hexhui once again decided to leave home, and this time leaving also took away Xu Wenshu's last expectations for him. However, as a daughter-in-law, she has never stopped the basic etiquette and obligations, which is why Dai Shi is very distressed about her.
Zhang hates water to find new love
Fast forward to 1926, zhang hexhui's career was getting better and better, and he also bought a mansion in Beijing. After the quality of life went up, he began to think about his emotional life. At this time, a woman named Hu Qiuxia entered his world, and the two successfully married and had children, and These Xu Wenshu, who were far away from home, did not know it. When the good days came, Zhang Hexhui took his family to live in Beijing and suddenly came to the new city, which they could not accept at first. Of course, the most difficult thing to accept is Zhang Hexhui's new marriage, everyone is surprised, only Xu Wenshu is calm and waveless.
During her time in Beijing, she regarded Hu Qiuxia as a sister and treated her sincerely. Two years later, Hu Qiuxia gave birth to a son in the courtyard early, and when the child was first born, he was cold and looked like he was about to lose his signs of life. Everyone was ready to give up, only Xu Wenshu did not say a word, and immediately warmed the child with his warm body, and a few hours later, the baby's crying sounded in the sky. Because of this incident, Hu Qiuxia's gratitude to Xu Wenshu went further, and the relationship between the two also took a qualitative leap.
How the two women in the courtyard get along harmoniously, they can't resist Zhang Hexhui finding a new love outside. In 1931, Zhang Hexhui fell in love with the 16-year-old reader Zhou Shuyun, Hu Qiuxia was very angry after learning the situation, and she immediately ran to the girl's home to think about things, resulting in a prejudice against Zhang Hateshui and Zhou Shuyun for several miles. Hu Qiuxia did not know that this behavior would only make her husband dislike her, nor did it affect Zhang Hateshui to marry Zhou Shuyun and return home, but Zhou Shuyun later changed her name to Zhou Nan.
In the face of this, Xu Wenshu's face was light, and Hu Qiuxia could not understand why she was so mentality. Xu Wenshu was stunned at first, and then she smiled bitterly: It would be good to see it open. Married to Zhang Hexhui for 13 years, let her have a new definition of married life, she never got the love of her husband, so where did the loss come from? There is no need to be greedy and not to expect, man is ultimately going to fulfill himself in this life
The second half of Xu Wenshu's lonely life
The domestic situation became severe, and the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan made Zhang Hexhui begin to think, and he decided to send his wife and children to his hometown to live. Later, Hu Qiuxia returned to Beiping with her son Zhang Xiaoshui, and Xu Wenshu's life suddenly became lonely. However, Zhang Hexhui would send her 50 yuan of living expenses every month, which was very rich at that time. Every time Xu Wenshu would take the money and show off to the neighbors: I married a cash cow.
There is no expectation for Zhang Hateshui, and there is no real flesh and blood under her knees, Xu Wenshu's biggest thought is that she has taken care of Zhang Xiaoshui for 10 years. Zhang Xiaoshui is also very grateful to this big mother, usually the two will use envelopes to communicate, although it is not common to meet, but the feelings have been maintained very well.
One day in 1958, Xu Wenshu, who was already 60 years old, sent a letter to Zhang Xiaoshui as usual. Walking on the road, a sudden feeling of vertigo made her stop, and the whole person collapsed on the ground and became confused. Everyone sent her to the hospital for treatment, and Xu Wenshu pointed to the letter in her pocket, which was a letter to be sent to Zhang Xiaoshui, full of worries and thoughts.
end
Xu Wenshu stayed alone in the empty house for more than 40 years, and finally passed away in a lonely place. Without the love of a husband, without the company of children, bearing the bitter fruit of an arranged marriage, it is heartbreaking. In the end, Zhang Xiaoshui came to Xu Wenshu's spiritual hall day and night and gave her the last journey of her life, which was also a happy ending.
Xu Wenshu has lived a bitter life in this life, the cave house flower candle is disliked by Zhang Hate Water, and her lonely life is a dull life. It's over, maybe it's a new beginning
