Gu Qingyu was born in 1982, graduated from a prestigious university, a multinational enterprise executive, rich and beautiful.
Over the years, the boyfriend has talked a lot, but he is slow to get married.
Gu Qingyu is very good, there are many suitors, and it is normal for her to look down on those people. But it has dragged on until it is so old that there is no stable relationship, but it is actually because of a person.
This person is her first love Shi Yuan, it is not right to say that it is the first love, the two have not been in love at all, but from the worship of childhood.
What kind of person Gu Qingyu is, in fact, as early as the first episode, it was hinted that the more she loved Shi Yuan, the uglier her nature became.
Shi Yuan's mother was right to oppose this daughter-in-law because they were destined to divorce.
Gu Qingyu's wonderful life
Gu Qingyu and his younger brother Gu Lei are twins, just because they gave birth a minute in advance, they are very different from their younger brothers, and they always press their younger brothers.
Gu Qingyu is strong, but his younger brother has a cowardly personality
。 The reason why Gu Qingyu loves her brother so much is because she is ashamed of Gu Lei. In the original work, it is written that when I was a child, because of Gu Qingyu's negligence,
Let Gu Lei fall off the chair before he crippled his leg
。 That is, from then on, Gu Qingyu silently decided in his heart that he wanted to protect his brother I.
The Gu family is in the same house, there is Gu Shihong's 90-year-old mother, there is a little tiger who is still in school, and the family lives in an old house with three bedrooms and two halls.
Gu Qingyu is very powerful,
Not long after going to work, she bought a house and went out to live, and she was only twenty-three or four years old
。 The relationship between Gu Qingyu and her younger brother Gu Lei is very good, she knows what kind of personality her brother is, and Gu Qingyu did not bother when she first looked for a daughter-in-law. Gu Lei, no money, no ability, people and pockets, or a cripple, it can be said that Hun can not find any advantages.
Gu Lei met Feng Xiaoqin, who came to Shanghai alone to work hard
She was a few years older than Gu Lei. The reason why Feng Xiaoqin fell in love with Gu Lei was all for a Shanghai hukou, and she seized this opportunity to chase Gu Lei. At that time, Feng Xiaoqin, young and beautiful and smart, faced such a woman Gu Lei completely fell. Feng Xiaoqin's cleverness lies in the fact that
She can not only follow Gu Lei, but also guide Gu Lei to follow her ideas.
Gu Qingyu has an opinion on this sister-in-law,
But Gu Lei's attitude at that time can be said to be non-Feng Xiaoqin does not marry,
So in the end I reluctantly agreed. Gu Qingyu originally wanted to find a local daughter-in-law for her brother, and it was this idea that completely showed her prejudice.
She said: The sister-in-law is too shrewd, there are good and bad. If Shanghainese are still more at ease, coming from small places, the background and living habits are different.
Gu Qingyu is a strong woman, and Feng Xiaoqin is not a fuel-saving lamp.
Therefore, in this family, on the surface, everyone is harmonious, and behind the scenes, the sword has long been fierce.
After fighting for a long time, Feng Xiaoqin also realized, she said:
There are few people in the family, and it is also a small society. Soldiers will block, water will come to cover, fighting wits and courage, the outsiders are actually not in line with the boundary, the routine is all used in their own families.
Spare tires soar
From the first time Zhan Xiang met Gu Qingyu, he fell in love with this woman and has been pursuing it relentlessly for many years. But Gu Qingyu was not moved at all, not even moved. In the first episode, Gu Qingyu celebrated his 36th birthday,
And Zhan Xiang stayed at Gu Qingyu's company early to surprise her.
Zhan Xiang is an upstart who made his fortune by flipping houses. In the eyes of others, he is an upstart who has nothing to do and only collects rent. From having nothing to so many houses in his hands now, Zhan Xiang's personal ability is often overlooked by others. At that time, he took out a loan to buy the first apartment, and then gradually became bigger and stronger by relying on the rental loan.
In other words, others really don't have this courage.
In fact, Zhan Xiang is not a native of Shanghai, he came to Shanghai from Guangdong to work hard at the age of sixteen or seventeen.
However, Gu Qingyu said to Zhan Xiang: You have been in Shanghai for so many years, and the Shanghainese dialect is still a mess.
Gu Qingyu's kind of suitors have not been seen, and there are certainly not a few who are better than Zhan Xiang.
But Gu Qingyu still feels from the bottom of his heart that there is a gap between Zhan Xiang and himself, and it is okay to be friends, but it is impossible to be a lover.
Zhan Xiang also knew this in his heart, so in order to please Gu Qingyu,
He learned English, piano, and wine, but in the end he lost his original self.
Although Gu Qingyu is not married, he has talked about many boyfriends, but he and Zhan Xiang have known each other for so many years.
Only he did not give Zhan Xiang a chance.
Zhan Xiang's attitude towards her could not have been unaware,
But Gu Qingyu's ambiguity of not refusing and disagreeing is the real hypocrisy.
Don't borrow money to buy a house
At the beginning of the first episode of the TV series, Feng Xiaoqin said,
In Shanghai, even a foreign daughter-in-law like her, who buys vegetables and cooks every day, knows that the house is a person's face.
So far, Feng Xiaoqin also believes that marrying Gu Lei was a correct decision, if she had not married Gu Lei, she would still rent a house like her partner who came to Shanghai at the same time.
She said: No matter what the people of Shanghai are, there is an old house to shelter from the wind and rain, even if it is dragged to the present replacement, there is always a toilet. We are really starting from scratch, every tile and brick is earned by ourselves, and the starting point is different.
So at the beginning of the plot, the focus is on the house, and Feng Xiaoqin wants to persuade her husband and his sister to borrow money to buy a house. Feng Xiaoqin's marriage to Gu Lei to obtain a Shanghai hukou is only the first step for her to take root.
And then it was to own a house of her own, which was her original dream.
After marrying into the Gu family, Feng Xiaoqin was busy taking care of a large family every day, and no one praised the Gu family for having a good daughter-in-law. Once a woman rises to the level of "daughter-in-law", it has little to do with region, education, and appearance, and is another set of evaluation systems.
Feng Xiaoqin was undoubtedly qualified, and Ren Gu Qingyu couldn't fault anything.
When Feng Xiaoqin asked Gu Lei to borrow money to buy a house for her, Gu Qingyu resolutely refused.
This day is Gu Qingyu's birthday,
As a sister-in-law Feng Xiaoqin gave her a birthday gift
。 Of course, according to Feng Xiaoqin's personality, he will not send any valuable items, but a hand-knitted towel wears a false label.
This is Feng Xiaoqin's consistent style, and she buys a school bag for her son.
But Gu Qingyu took it home and gave it directly to the nanny, who said that the scarf was good.
It can be seen that Feng Xiaoqin is bothered.
Even if you can't look at it anymore,
There is no need to give gifts from others to the nanny.
From the very beginning, Gu Qingyu did not regard this foreign daughter-in-law as her own family, and she still looked down on her.
Gu Qingyu said to Feng Xiaoqin:
It is really impossible to have no one at home without you, and everything inside and out depends on you alone, and I have a number in my heart.
However, in order not to lend money to his sister-in-law, he had to fake marriage and buy a house.
Gu Qingyu did not love Shi Yuan
Gu Qingyu has not been married for so many years because of Shi Yuan,
She was obsessed with Shi Yuan to the point of horror
。 She made every boyfriend before wear white shirts and glasses, just to find Shi Yuan's shadow.
Obviously, he hadn't seen him for so many years, so why did Gu Qingyu still have a grudge against Shi Yuan?
In fact, I think that Gu Qingyu's love is not Shi Yuan, but the obsession of his own childhood.
Gu Qingyu and Shi Yuan were classmates and neighbors, and for Gu Qingyu at that time, Shi Yuan was excellent. Shi Yuan's family is well-off, good at studying and loves sports.
Whether it is every move or treating people and things, it reveals Shi Yuan's good tutoring
。 Among the peers, that stands out from the crowd,
Therefore, the childhood Gu Qingyu would worship Shi Yuan so much.
Shi Yuan's mother used to be a large family, because of her own mistakes led to her son's failure in the college entrance examination.
Since then, there has been a mental problem.
Although the days are not as good as before, Shi Mu still retains some of the previous habits. Shi Mu thought that she was still a big family, so when her son mentioned that her daughter-in-law was a neighbor when she was a child, she was full of disgust.
From the abandonment of the mother,
It can be seen that the family situation of the two people at that time was different.
This also reflects why Gu Qingyu was so infatuated with Shi Yuan when he was a child, because among his peers, Shi Yuan is the well-deserved Prince Charming.
Later, when Shi Yuan was 12 years old, the two had to separate,
Shi Yuan's last words were that he would definitely return to Shanghai
。 But since then, Gu Qingyu has never seen Shi Yuan again. At that time, Gu Qingyu knew what love was,
But she had such an obsession in her heart.
Shi Yuan's last impression left on her was "very handsome, very good, very tasteful",
The more he didn't meet Gu Qingyu, the deeper the obsession in his heart became.
In her mind, Shi Yuan was even deified, and she was sure that only someone like "Shi Yuan" could become her husband.
That's why she let her previous boyfriends imitate Shi Yuan.
But when she saw Shi Yuan again, it didn't matter whether he was still as good as he was.
Because the obsession had already overwhelmed Gu Qingyu's mind.
In the original work, Gu Qingyu said to Shi Yuan: You don't know, how happy I am to meet you again. Whether you are the source of my impression or not, no matter how surprised, surprised, or even disappointed I am. To be able to meet you, I now have only one mood left, that is, joy.
Even if Shi Yuan had no car and no house, no education, no job, and a bunch of arrears, Gu Qingyu didn't care at all. The current Shi Yuan is definitely not as good as Gu Qingyu's previous boyfriends,
But his name Shi Yuan was enough.
Now Gu Qingyu's conditions are absolutely good, why can't Shi Mu look at it?
Mental abnormality is one thing, prejudice is the most important.
Mother Shi said to her son: These days, when I think about it, I feel that you have suffered a loss.
The son has no car and no house, and the daughter-in-law's annual salary is tens of millions, so shi yuan has taken advantage. Shi Mu still looked down on Gu Qingyu,
And the reason for all this is that the family situation of the Gu family is not good.
Even if Gu Qingyu is so good now,
Shi Mu still carries this prejudice.
Just like Gu Qingyu did to Feng Xiaoqin, Feng Xiaoqin has been married to the Gu family for so many years, and she still has prejudices against this sister-in-law.
So who is the person who is satisfied with the mother,
She is the daughter of Huang Sister.
At the beginning, the two were able to set the doll kiss, indicating that the two people's family situation was similar, so Shi Mu recognized Huang Sister's daughter so much.
Shi Mu said that the reason why she invited Huang Sister's mother and daughter when her daughter-in-law came home,
I just want Gu Qingyu to know that her son married her and she took advantage of her.
It was to let her know what kind of woman Shi Yuan was going to marry.
Lest she be confused in the future, and think that we have taken advantage.
Gu Qingyu heard all this, so he found Zhan Xiang to complain.
She said that her mother-in-law hated that she was not born well enough, but did she ever think that she was the same for Feng Xiaoqin.
In fact, Gu Qingyu and Shi Yuan are not people of the world for a long time.
For the obsession in his heart, Gu Qingyu insisted on getting together, and in the end he was definitely unhappy and scattered.
Gu Qingyu is strong enough to make money, and naturally will give Shi Yuan pressure,
Therefore, Shi Yuan's only requirement before marriage is to do a premarital property notarization.
But even so, the last two people separated because of this problem. In order to narrow the gap with Gu Qingyu, Shi Yuan desperately made money, but the result was self-defeating.
Finally Shi Yuan saw everything clearly,
Filed for divorce, not because of not loving, but because two people have long missed it at the age of 12.
In the original work, Shi Yuan once asked Gu Qingyu: If he hadn't left that year, what would have happened? Gu Qingyu replied: Children will play soy sauce.
epilogue
Its implementing mother was right not to let Gu Qingyu enter the house,
Because two people are not on the same level for a long time
。 Although Shi Mu's mind was confused, she firmly remembered the concept of the doorkeeper in her heart.
Shi Mu looked down on Gu Qingyu's origins, and Gu Qingyu also treated Feng Xiaoqin and Zhan Xiang in this way. Just like in the original book
"Everyone will say, don't have portal prejudice, don't have regional discrimination, don't divide people into three, six, nine, and so on -- it's not your turn, it's just a cool word."
Only by letting go of prejudice and learning to accept will you find your true self, which is also the spirit that the TV series wants to convey. Gu Qingyu, who rubbed shoulders with Shi Yuan, finally let go of his prejudice,
Giving Zhan Xiang a chance also gave himself a chance.
Although Zhan Xiang has no culture, nor does she have taste,
But that doesn't stop him from being a good man.
