After getting married, Gu Qingyu carefully maintained this marriage, pleased Shi Yuan's parents, bought clothes, paid hundreds of thousands of kidney replacement costs, and wanted to buy them a house. However, she has done so much, but she still can't get the approval of her in-laws.
Especially after Shi Yuan learned that it was Gu Qingyu who helped his mother pay for the medical expenses, he was angry: You lied, and you erased my efforts for many days. Gu Qingyu was also angry: Did I do something wrong to pay for your mother and spend money on treatment?
Shi Yuan's mother also broke out, she gritted her teeth and said: If I knew that she was taking the money, I would rather wait for death.
I originally thought that the reason why Gu Qingyu and Shi Yuan's marriage failed was because Gu Qingyu was arrogant and looked down on Shi Yuan from his heart, and eventually Shi Yuan would file for divorce; after carefully reading "Heart Residence", I found that not only love is enough in marriage, but the door is the truth that cannot be broken.
Written on the front: the gap between the two
Gu Qingyu graduated from a famous university, became an executive of a multinational company at the age of 36, with both talents and looks, economic independence, and many years of workplace tempering and life experience, which has created her personal training and insight into the world. 36 years old is not young, but it is not old, Gu Qingyu is just like this, has not faded the youthful vigor and ambition, and added a little maturity and stability and competence.
Shi Yuan's college entrance examination times Fudan, but also confident that he can pass the test, but after the results came out a few points worse, and because of disobedience to the adjustment, there is no other school at the bottom, the result is a sweep to the end, into a tourism secondary school. Because the package is distributed, it can stay in Shanghai. After graduation, Shi Yuan left Songhai to enter the tourism company as a tour guide, and Shi Yuan's life went downhill in this way.
1. Twenty years of vicissitudes and great changes, class swapping
Has anyone fallen from a well-off family into a difficult situation? The Shi Yuan family is like this; whoever is a city upstart and whose life is thriving is the Gu family. Twenty years of vicissitudes, the two completed the class exchange.
At that time, the Gu family lived in Lujiazui, the Shi family's old house was divided into more than a dozen families, and the Shi Yuan family lived in the former guest hall, which was the most abundant and the largest area. The Gu family was separated from them by a lane. Shi Yuan was an outstanding child since he was a child, with a fresh appearance, a good family background, and good reading, so that the parents of their daughters nearby wanted this child to be a son-in-law.
At that time, the Gu family lived a very poor life. Gu Qingyu's grandfather died in his forties, and he never even ate meat openly when he was alive. Now the photo on the tombstone is so young that it is even a little childish, that is, thin, sad and thin.
Shi Yuan was Gu Qingyu's classmate in elementary school and a neighbor. Tall and thin, wearing a pair of thin-rimmed glasses, it was called "frame beam" at that time. Good grades, but not nerds. He likes to read and exercise, english is especially good, and he can also speak a little Russian and Japanese, which shows that he is good at tutoring.
In the past, the Shi family was a large family, his grandfather studied in the Uk in his early years, and after returning to China, he became a counselor of the National Government, two brothers also taught at the university, and one sister was married to the vice president of Tsinghua. Shi Yuan's grandfather was also a graduate of a famous school, and when he went to Shi Yuan's mother, the situation was different, but the tradition of reading people was still there, and when he was five or six years old, he copied Yan Zhenqing's "Many Pagoda Tablets", and his strength and temperament were not inferior to those of adults.
Shi Yuan's father's family was a businessman, and his grandfather was in business and engaged in the silk business. At that time, Shi Yuan also told Gu Qingyu that his grandfather was reluctant at that time and felt that his daughter was very wronged to marry my father.
Uncle Shi Yuan was a beautiful man, versatile, and at that time he took a guitar and sang the popular songs of the time, Zhang Xing's "Late", "You came to me, with a smile, brought my troubles." In my heart, there is already a her, oh, she arrived before you—"
Just because of this family background, even in that era, Shi Yuan was different from other classmates. Standing out from the crowd, the appearance and temperament, the treatment of people and things are unspeakably appropriate, like a bouquet of orchids in the wild grass.
When he went to the mountains and went to the countryside, Shi Yuan's parents went to Xinjiang to join the team. Gu Qingyu went to Shi Yuan's house when he was in elementary school, and saw the photos of Shi Yuan's mother when she was a teenager, and qingxiu was noble and had a very good temperament.
Shi Yuan was raised by his grandmother. At the age of 12, he was taken to Xinjiang by his parents. At that time, he confidently told Gu Qingyu: I will be admitted back to Shanghai. See you soon. And Gu Qingyu really believed it. This agreement had been hovering in the depths of Gu Qingyu's mind.
In the year of the college entrance examination, Shi Yuan did not return. Gu Qingyu went to the old mansion to find him, and after his grandmother died, his uncle and aunt moved elsewhere and did not go anywhere. He just disappeared like that, without even saying hello. After graduating from university, Gu Qingyu entered the investment banking company, and he also made a small reputation in the industry, and has always achieved the current executive position, and a business can be commissioned into millions. However, because of a dream in the heart of a young girl, her marriage has been faltering. In the face of the decade-long pursuit of the upstart Zhan Xiang, Gu Qingyu was unmoved. She told Zhan Xiang that Shi Yuan was very handsome, very good, and very tasteful.
Later, Gu Qingyu decided to buy a second house to find someone to fake marriage for two months, and after two months, the two could divorce. Unexpectedly, the fake marriage object recruited by the intermediary was Shi Yuan.
Shi Yuan took the initiative to invite Gu Qingyu to sit in his home.
So Gu Qingyu went.
Today, Shi Yuan's family of three lives in an old-fashioned house. Build a house on the sundeck, and build a three-story pavilion before and after. His family lived in a pavilion on the ground floor. Facing the front guest hall, down to the kitchen and sundeck. Remodeled, but still shared by coal guards. The rooms are 30 square meters in total, divided into two pieces. Shi Yuan lived inside, and his parents lived outside.
Cramped space, plus a bookshelf, the piano is also crowded inside, not very open, covered with cloth, on which a fish tank is placed, raising some tropical fish. Next to it is a crystal vase with several bouquets of carnations. Then put a treadmill in the corner. Shi Yuan borrowed 1.2 million yuan a few years ago, and it is still in the stock market and cannot be entered or exited.
Piano, fish tank, carnation and treadmill, these are all the old aristocratic atmosphere that Shi Yuan's mother struggled with, but what is the use of placing it in a 30-square-meter cramped space?
According to Shi Yuan's mother, Shi Yuan had a doll relative when he was a child, And when Shi Yuan's mother was studying, there was a good sister among the girls, and her grandfather was a very famous collector of ancient coins, so she made an appointment, and if she gave birth to a man and a woman in the future, she would form a family. She did give birth to a daughter later, but unfortunately the Cultural Revolution went to the United States. There has been little contact over the years, and her daughter has a round face, some yellow hair, and snow-white skin, like a doll.
Shi Yuan's father said that his family is also a number of family treasures, how his great-grandfather is, how his grandfather is, where the old houses were, and which location in Shanghai is currently. There, and there, was the capital of their family at that time. When I went into the house and took out a family photo, my grandfather married five or six wives, and Shi's father's father was born to my grandfather's fourth aunt.
Therefore, Shi Yuan's parents vainly tried to use their family's once prominent family lineage to suppress Gu Qingyu, which is really Ah Q's spiritual victory method: Our family, before it was much wider, what are you counting?!
Not only Shi Yuan's parents, Gu Qingyu and Shi Yuan also felt that in the past twenty years, the two families had undergone so many changes, it was simply twenty years of Hedong and twenty years of Hexi. Today, the top man is Gu Qingyu, and the Shi family is the lowest family in Shanghai. A family of three lives in a 30 square meter house.
And the Gu family, Gu Shihong was held by his daughter, taking all the money in the family to pay the down payment, plus the house divided by his own unit, so in addition to the big three rooms where his family now lives for four generations, there is also a small apartment. Gu Qingyu bought a small two-bedroom apartment at the beginning of his work, and now he has a lot of money and is ready to buy a large three-room with 170 square meters. Because of the purchase restriction policy, so, find someone to fake marriage. So I found Shi Yuan, who had a Shanghai hukou and no house.
In the past two decades, the Shi family and the Gu family have achieved a class reversal: the Shi family, which was originally a large family, has been studying and doing business for generations, accumulating considerable wealth and prominent prestige. But the vicissitudes of the world, to the two generations of Shi Yuan's father and son, they repeatedly missed the opportunity to change houses and buy houses, and when they came back to God, they had already been thrown out of the real estate market. And the Gu family, because of Gu Qingyu's sharp vision, urged his father to buy a house early; he even bought two houses.
The vicissitudes of the sea have changed into Sangtian, and the two families have completed the class exchange, but Gu Qingyu still joined hands with Shi Yuan to enter the marriage. After all, Shi Yuan was the white moonlight hidden in her heart for more than twenty years, and she didn't want to leave any regrets in her life.
The two pretended to be real, quickly signed a contract, and registered their marriage. Gu Qingyu also wanted to give himself a chance to take the initiative to extend the contract time to two years.
2. Love alone is not enough in marriage
Love is not a fairy tale.
After Gu Qingyu and Shi Yuan were unexpectedly reunited, her girlfriend Li Annie warned her: In marriage, men are stronger than women, and there is no problem at all. It's more troublesome in reverse.
However, Gu Qingyu thought that the love between the two of them twenty years ago must be OK. She had been waiting for him for more than twenty years, and this opportunity could not be missed, as today's public beauty, she could hold him into marriage and realize her ideals, no matter what the outcome, she was not afraid.
I still remember the hazy and beautiful feelings that I had between young boys and girls more than twenty years ago. At that time, Shi Yuan was more than half a year older than Gu Qing. Gu Qingyu developed late, and at the age of twelve, he was still the appearance of a small radish head. He was already half a year old. Raise her a head. The white shirt is covered with a wool vest, and the button at the neckline is also tied. Stand tall and unpretentious. He was the class president, she was a member of the study committee, communicated a lot, and lived close to him.
He called out her full name every day, and she loved his voice. Only to her did he speak like that. The tone is somewhere between decency and intimacy. Be different from others. Although the two never said anything, the girl's unique sensitivity and meticulousness made her never doubt this. Both were extremely intelligent, and even in those old-school years, they still maintained a certain tacit understanding, neither delaying their studies nor making each other resentful, and they were generous and knew it.
In this relationship, the attitude of boys is often more critical. How can girls take the initiative? Carefully and quietly, he cared for her, and the precious friendship between the two of them.
After this reunion, the two rushed to the stubble of fake marriage after a simple conversation, basically did not go through the stage of love run-in, and directly entered the marriage of real knives and real guns.
As the saying goes, a phoenix with a falling feather is not as good as a chicken. In marriage, Shi Yuan tried to care for his poor self-esteem. At first, Gu Qingyu looked very distressed. In memory, Shi Yuan was Gu Qingyu's god, which could not be erased. Over the years, she has also come through the source of shi in her heart, and she can ignore the different eyes of others and do her own thing.
Of course, that was just the hard shell on the outside, and Shi Yuan was the "bottom" in her heart. Like the thick layer of burnt skin under the raw fried steamed bun, holding the soup and water inside, no matter how it is dangling, the outside is always stable and unhappy. He was embarrassed, and she was worse off than he was. It's a pain in the skin.
Shi Yuan asked Gu Qingyu, do you look down on me? Gu Qingyu replied word by word, no, I will never look down on you.
In this regard, Shi Yuan did not speak. He listened stupidly to Gu Qingyu's confession that was twenty years late: 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. Overjoyed. I even wish there was no end to the road and you could stay in the car and be with me all the time.
In this way, the two entered into marriage hand in hand. Stumbling through two months together, experiencing the bittersweet and bittersweet of marriage together: it turns out that marriage is really not a matter for two people. What should be experienced and what should not be experienced has been experienced. These two months seem like a lifetime. These are carefully tasted in glass bottles later.
Love is not the enemy of reality, Shi Yuan's mother can't look at Gu Qingyu, she said to her son like this: This look is also average, there is no content in the eyes... Also, what else can a modern girl with an annual salary of millions have in her eyes besides money?!
Shi Yuan's mother thinks that the content is the mood of old Shanghai. Just like when the parents of both sides were eating together, she and Shi Yuan said that this place was full of the taste of old Shanghai. At that time, Cao Yu and Lao She lived here. Mom still held you to feel it at that time, it was all a taste of literature and culture.
Gu Qingyu's wealth made Shi Yuan feel inferior. As Li Anne said, once the seed of inferiority is planted, it will take root and sprout on its own. Moreover, Shi Yuan is not only inferior, he is also strong, and he resolutely does not spend his wife's money. In order to raise medical expenses for her mother, she worked as an emcee and an English teacher, went to work in the company during the day, and worked overtime at night to translate English corner materials for people... In this way, the cost of hundreds of thousands of kidney replacements for the mother is still far away.
Gu Qingyu was distressed about her husband, so she privately found a doctor, paid hundreds of thousands of medical expenses, and asked the doctor to help her keep it secret, saying that a charity provided a charity fund for Shi Yuan's mother.
In this way, Gu Qingyu easily handed over hundreds of thousands of dollars in one phone call, compared with Shi Yuan's sleepless and hard work to make money, is this still a natural reason?
Just as Shi Yuan howled, with a wave of your little hand, you stomped my self-esteem under my feet. Shi Yuan had a good family background before, but unfortunately he later fell. But the self-esteem of that year is still there. Therefore, he resolutely does not eat soft rice, let alone soft rice hard to eat. Instead, he saw himself and Gu Qingyu as an opportunity.
He hopes to take this opportunity to rediscover the studious self he was then, to find the spirited self, he will not live like before, but to be a person, to be a responsible, can achieve things. A man in capital letters.
To tell the truth, the marriage of strong women and weak men has always been unstable, Gu Qingyu has worked hard in the workplace for many years, trained herself to be cold and cold, and her personality is a modern woman made of reinforced concrete, she does not know how to get along with such a source.
In the Gu family, Gu Qingyu has always appeared as the face of the Gu family's protective god, placing his father and brother under his wings. She hoped that Shi Yuan would do the same, carefully relying on herself, serving herself, looking at her own face, and not going outside to work again. Enjoy life with yourself.
Once people become strong, both men and women look down on others. Therefore, when Shi Yuan's ex-girlfriend Lily came to the door with her stomach up, Gu Qingyu was resentful. Because it was this unbearable man who put himself in such an embarrassing situation.
Gu Qingyu wants to live with Shi Yuan, otherwise, she would not introduce Li Li to the object, solve her Shanghai hukou problem, and completely let Shi Yuan get rid of Li Li.
It is a pity that Shi Yuan cannot do what Gu Qingyu Gu asked for, first of all, he is not a nest like Gu Lei, Shi Yuan has a family lineage, talent, and looks, and he is quite accommodating and sleek in his life, if given a certain amount of support, a certain opportunity, a certain time, Shi Yuan will not be a person who is willing to live under people for a long time.
That night, Shi Yuan drank beer and Gu Qingyu read a book. The two were silent for a long time. Gu Qingyu said: If you have anything to say, you can talk to me.
Shi Yuan wanted to say that I just wanted to buy a house for my parents and let them live a good life in the old age for a few days. With my own money. You don't want a penny of your money. The result is: either, divorce.
In an instant, Gu Qingyu "boomed" in his head, but suddenly it was quiet, as if he had concluded something big.
Gu Qingyu originally thought that he would file for divorce himself. However, in the end, it was Shi Yuan who proposed it.
In this way, Gu Qingyu had waited for more than twenty years for the white moonlight, and the two had only been together for two months. Everything ended after Shi Yuan's mother committed suicide. After his mother's death, Shi Yuan also bought a new house, and then decided to leave and go to Canada to inherit the luxurious villa left by his rich uncle. And Gu Qingyu returned to his previous life.
The end: Written at the end
There is love between Gu Qingyu and Shi Yuan, but in love, they also need to maintain their dignity and personality.
Gu Qingyu is a strong woman of this era, and she achieved wealth freedom at a young age. She is autonomous, independent, scheming, means, and well-paid, but she is not as smooth and solid as tempered glass, transparent and stubborn, but has inner softness and hesitation, yearning for beauty and attachment to pure love.
Compared to her, Shi Yuan is a real-life LOSER. But he does not admit defeat, is not discouraged, and is willing to rely on his own efforts to get the life he wants, rather than relying on his wife to eat soft rice, or soft rice to eat hard.
Gu Qingyu and Shi Yuan's two-month married life was short, but the result was that both of them had grown and matured. Gu Qingyu returned to the life of a single aristocrat. Her end is an independent open space, a long road of self-growth and exploration, not just romantic and sweet crystal shoes and roses.
Gu Qingyu is an old Shanghainese, she embodies the typical Shanghainese mentality, Shanghainese self-sustainment and tenacity in life: do not avoid the real dilemma, used to expand the many possibilities of the future.
Of course, Shi Yuan also has backbone. In such an embarrassing situation for his family, he chose to take the initiative to end the marriage relationship and preserve his dignity. And in the end, he bought his own house and inherited the luxurious villa given by his Canadian uncle. In the end, he also realized his wealth freedom and lived the life he wanted.
May you and I live out Gu Qingyu's heart, and may you and I both live out Shi Yuan's unconvincing anger. Because life has never been full of happiness, may we all be able to find the heroism of ordinary people in the growth of resilience, and in the life of fireworks, find our own small luck.
