In 1925, Hu Shi finally filed for divorce from Jiang Dongxiu after getting an insider Cao Chengying pregnant. Jiang Dongxiu didn't say a word, picked up a paper cutter and stabbed at Hu Shi. After being stopped, Jiang Dongxiu went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife and shouted to Hu Shi: "If you want to divorce, you can, I will kill my two sons first!" I don't want the son I bore you! ”
Where did the gentle Hu Shi'er see this kind of battle, his heart tightened, and he admitted his mistake one after another. It was probably Jiang Dongxiu's kitchen knife that scared him enough, and since then, Hu Shi has never dared to mention the divorce.
Because of this "marriage defense war" full of gunsmoke, Jiang Dongxiu's reputation as a "fierce wife" in the literati circle spread. And Hu Shi's old marriage also made many literati in the circle who abandoned their wives and children and pursued the new school dumbfounded.
One is a rural village woman who can't read big words and is wrapped in small feet, and the other is the "first new school figure in China" who has studied Chinese and Western times, these two people are not very right, and the combination of Hu Shi and Jiang Dongxiu is therefore listed as one of the "Seven Wonders of the Republic of China".
The marriage between Hu Shi himself and Jiang Dongxiu was originally a "blind marriage" and "dumb marriage" under the old arranged marriage. Hu Shi was resistant in his heart. Moreover, during his studies in the United States, he and his girlfriend Wesley were inseparable. For this reason, Hu Shi once wrote home and proposed to dissolve the marriage contract.
However, one mother did not allow it, and the other was that Jiang Dongxiu threatened each other with death, Hu Shi had to sigh that he had made a fool, waved his girlfriend goodbye with tears, and returned to China to marry Jiang Dongxiu.
In the winter of 1917, the Hu family was lit up, and a couplet was pasted on the door of the new house: "Thirty nights of the moon, twenty-seven old grooms." This couplet is written by Hu Shi and is also his self-ridicule.
Because of the year he married Jiang Dongxiu, Hu Shi was 27 years old and was a veritable old groom, and Jiang Dongxiu, who was one year older than Hu Shi, was a girl who could not get old. Interestingly, because of this age difference, Hu Shi belongs to rabbits, and Jiang Dongxiu belongs to tigers, which has the meaning of being eaten by her.
In 1918, in the second year of marriage, Jiang Dongxiu came to Beiping to live with Hu Shi. At that time, Hu Shi was already a well-known talent, and in the social circle, "there was a great deal of laughter and laughter, and there was no white ding", but Jiang Dongxiu was an out-and-out old-style woman, not only not much literate, but also not beautiful, placed in Hu Shi's circle of friends, it stands to reason that she should be inferior.
But Jiang Dongxiu doesn't care about other people's eyes, she doesn't have low self-esteem, she doesn't deliberately change herself, she still adheres to her own spicy and straightforward nature, and when dealing with those professors around Hu Shi, Jiang Dongxiu can also be not humble and generous.
As a country woman, this is Jiang Dongxiu's strength, but her power is far more than that. It is said that "since ancient times, famous men love the flow", Hu Shi, as a personable young talent, also has a lot of affection in life, and the dew is constantly in love.
In the fall of 1923, Hu Shi went to Hangzhou to recuperate, Jiang Dongxiu was worried that he was not there, and Hu Shi could not take care of himself, so he wrote a letter with a typo, entrusting her to take care of his cousin Hu Shi.
It's just that Jiang Dongxiu didn't expect that this care, there was a spark of feelings between his cousin and his cousin. On the bank of West Lake, in the wind and snow, this pair of cousins are concubines, and they have loved each other to death.
The news of this underground romance was like wings, and soon spread throughout the entire literati circle, but Jiang Dongxiu became the last person to know.
It turned out that Hu Shi had been in love with Cao Chengying since returning from Hangzhou, and had maintained correspondence with her behind Jiang Dongxiu's back. One day, Cao Chengying's letter somehow fell into Jiang Dongxiu's hands, which read:
"We communicate this holiday season, and we have to pay attention, you see? But I know that you are the most cautious and very good at writing, probably it will not matter... Brother Mi, let me call you dear here, and I will speak in a regular manner in the future. ”
Jiang Dongxiu didn't know a few big words, and asked someone to read the letter to himself, this couldn't be heard, the love words of the meat numb made Jiang Dongxiu lose goosebumps, and the next reaction was naturally to sneak to Hu Shi to settle the account.
In the face of her husband's cheating, Jiang Dongxiu is not as passive and weak as ordinary women, and she takes the initiative to attack. If her husband does not admit it, she argues for reason; Her husband was going to divorce, and before she shed tears, she first copied the kitchen knife. Hu Shi, who is gentle and elegant on weekdays, naturally can't resist this kind of battle, just looking at this knife has scared his hands and feet cold, and he almost kneels.
Jiang Dongxiu's big trouble attracted many onlookers from the left and right neighbors, setting off a lot of waves. Knowing her husband Mo Ruo's wife, Jiang Dongxiu knew that Hu Shi cherished her reputation and wings, and she seized Hu Shi's weakness to die to save face, and such a mess suddenly hit Hu Shi's sore spot. Since then, Hu Shi has never dared to mention the divorce, and this turmoil eventually ended with Cao Chengying having a painful abortion.
Jiang Dongxiu cleaned up her husband neatly, and at the same time did not let Cao Chengying go. After Cao Chengying went through this incident, she did not dare to provoke Hu Shi again, and later renegotiated a boyfriend, intending to start over, but Jiang Dongxiu did not give her this opportunity.
By chance, Jiang Dongxiu bumped into Cao Chengying's boyfriend's cousin at the card table, and she took the opportunity to scold Hu Shi, a former lover, so frightened that the cousin immediately let her cousin withdraw from the marriage. And Cao Chengying's second marriage was strangled in the cradle by Jiang Dongxiu.
Jiang Dongxiu's strong style suddenly spread throughout Hu Shi's circle of friends, and all the famous ladies did not dare to provoke Hu Shi again. It is said that when Lu Xiaoman, a famous lady at that time, wrote letters to Hu Shi, she deliberately wrote in English, and wrote in large and thick fonts to prevent Jiang Dongxiu from noticing.
In this way, Jiang Dongxiu established the status of Taishan Beidou in the circle of professors' wives in Beiping, and all the wives who were angry at home or had a bad marriage all came to Jiang Dongxiu to get ideas, and Jiang Dongxiu also had to fight for them.
Once, Liang Shiqiu proposed to divorce the original partner Cheng Jishu because he liked a new girl. Cheng Jishu found Jiang Dongxiu crying and poured bitter water.
Because Cheng Jishu is also from Huizhou, Jiang Dongxiu saw her and felt pity for the same illness, so he volunteered to be the master of this fellow villager. She encouraged Cheng Jishu to fight the lawsuit, and she also appeared in court to testify for her. Later, Liang Shiqiu lost the case, and Jiang Dongxiu's fame was extremely popular.
After people knew that Hu Shi's family had a fierce wife, they ridiculed one after another, but Hu Shi did not think so, but he said praisefully: "Or my wife has the ability to defeat the university professor alive." ”
It can be seen that although Hu Shi initially disliked this marriage, over time, the courage and boldness of this small-footed woman gradually moved Hu Shi. Friends laughed at Hu Shi for being afraid of his wife, but after a long time, Hu Shi was willing to be controlled by Jiang Dongxiu to some extent.
Although Jiang Dongxiu has a strong appearance, she is indeed a rare good wife in married life. In the years when Hu Shi left the mainland and lived in New York, the family had no source of income, and life was very difficult, Jiang Dongxiu did not have the slightest complaint, she could share sweetness with her husband, and she could also share hardships.
During those days in the United States, Jiang Dongxiu did not understand English, but took the initiative to take on the responsibility of buying vegetables; She intimately made Huizhou pot and tofu dregs for Hu Shi in her hometown, and often invited fellow villagers in the United States to eat at home, and was busy all day long.
Because Jiang Dongxiu's education level is not high, being in a foreign country, it is inevitable to be lonely, and his only hobby is playing mahjong. Miraculously, on the mahjong table, Jiang Dongxiu always wins every bet. During the days when Hu Shi had no salary to take, Jiang Dongxiu rushed everywhere to play mahjong, and her card table income became the main source of income for the Hu family.
Because of playing mahjong in a hurry, Jiang Dongxiu sometimes has no time to cook, so he simply makes a pot of tea and eggs and eats Hu Shi, but Hu Shi never annoys her. On the contrary, sometimes Jiang Dongxiu was sullen because she couldn't find a "card partner", so Hu Shi would call everywhere to find her a "card friend". When Hu Shi was the "research dean" in Taiwan, he once bought a separate house for Jiang Dongxiu to play mahjong.
In fact, it can also be seen that Hu Shi's initial rejection or fear of Jiang Dongxiu has gradually become a warm recognition and thoughtfulness in the precipitation of time.
Some friends said that Hu Shi did not show up, but Hu Shi did not mind. Outsiders only saw Jiang Dongxiu's plagiaristic side, but Hu Shi knew his wife's deep affection for herself in life.
During the Anti-Japanese War, he served as an ambassador in the United States, while Jiang Dongxiu fled Peiping alone in China with three children and braved the smoke of war. Although the road was difficult and bumpy, Jiang Dongxiu always carried her husband's dozens of boxes of books. Jiang Dongxiu doesn't understand these books, but she understands her husband.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Jiang Dongxiu and several children had a hard time making a living in China, and Hu Shi, who was far away in the United States, once sent her 1,600 yuan, and after Jiang Dongxiu received the money, he first paid the servants and distributed all the money to Hu Shi's relatives and friends and fellow villagers, and did not forget to donate 200 yuan to the school.
After Hu Shi learned about it, he wrote a letter of gratitude: "It is really rare that you can remember the poor people at home in the midst of tribulation, and you can still send money to them. I am very grateful. You are truly worthy of being your mother's daughter in such a place, and worthy of being my mother's daughter-in-law. ”
In 1940, Hu Shi received a cotton jacket sent to him by Jiang Dongxiu, and after putting on his clothes, when he put his hands in his pockets, he touched a small bag, opened it, and found that there were seven pairs of ivory ear gouges inside. Such meticulous care, probably only Jiang Dongxiu can do it for him.
In Hu Shi's life, whether he was in a high position or suffered, Jiang Dongxiu never gave up. The more middle-aged and old age, the more harmonious the two become.
On February 24, 1962, Hu Shi died of a sudden heart attack. Jiang Dongxiu rushed to hear the news, was in pain, and took 2 injections of sedatives to stabilize. From then on, Jiang Dongxiu remained depressed until his death in 1975.
Hu Shi and Jiang Dongxiu, one is a famous great literati in the Republic of China, the other is a rough woman in the countryside, their marriage seems to be a mismatch, but in fact they complement each other's advantages, but they surpass the marriage of "talented and beautiful people" in the secular sense, and live a more fulfilling and happy life.
