First of all, we see that Qiao Haiyun's meticulous care for her daughters has become a key factor in the ups and downs of their marriage.
In the Meng family, Qiao Haiyun has become the decision-maker and leader of the family with his tenacious character and extraordinary ability. Since her youth, she has been the head of a large factory and has amassed an enviable fortune for the entire Meng family.
It is precisely because of this strong economic strength that Qiao Haiyun's education method for her three daughters is unique and eye-catching.
The daughters of the Meng family have planted the seeds of "you belong to the upper class" in their hearts since they were young. Qiao Haiyun firmly believes that with the deep financial resources of the family, they should marry into a powerful family and find a marriage that is in line with the identity of the head of the Meng family.
She has an absolute say in the marriage of her three daughters, and even the future son-in-law candidates have to go through her strict screening and review.
In Qiao Haiyun's eyes, a qualified son-in-law must have a good family background, excellent educational experience, and broad career development space, otherwise it will be difficult to be recognized by her.
Even if the object of her daughters' true affection, if she can't meet Qiao Haiyun's standards, she will not hesitate to stop it.
In addition, Qiao Haiyun's love for his three daughters is also incomparable. She hopes that her daughters will always be able to rely on the solid backing of the Meng family, and the interests of the Meng family should be prioritized in any decision.
As a result, an unwritten rule was formed within the Meng family: whenever the New Year came, all the sisters must stay in their parents' house and not return to their husbands' houses.
Although this rule stems from Qiao Haiyun's deep love for his daughters, from another point of view, it undoubtedly limits the autonomy of the three sisters in their married life. The eldest sister Meng Mingwei was unable to go against her mother's wishes, which eventually led to the intensification of the conflict with her husband Li Chengzhi.
Next, let's take a look at how the eldest sister Meng Mingwei fell into a fierce conflict with her husband Li Chengzhi in order to follow her mother's wishes.
The conflict between the eldest sister Meng Mingwei and her husband Li Chengzhi seems to have gradually escalated from a quarrel during the New Year. At that time, the young and promising Li Chengzhi made a request to return to his hometown with his new wife for the New Year and worship his ancestors.
There was nothing wrong with such a request, but Meng Mingwei resolutely refused. As Qiao Haiyun's eldest daughter, she has been taught to respect her mother's opinion since she was a child.
There is an unwritten rule within the Meng family, that is, every New Year, all sisters must stay in their parents' house, which must not be violated.
When Li Chengzhi looked at Meng Mingwei expectantly, Meng Mingwei could only show embarrassment. She is well aware that if she violates her mother's wishes, she will inevitably attract accusations and criticism from all sides.
Therefore, Meng Mingwei resolutely refused her husband's request, which intensified the conflict between them, and eventually evolved into a fierce push.
However, what is even more unfortunate is that Meng Mingwei was already pregnant at this time, and accidentally caused the restlessness of the fetus in this conflict. Since then, her health has deteriorated, and she almost lost her child.
What's even more distressing is that the originally loving couple seemed to have completely broken up at that moment.
Seeing Meng Mingwei so stubborn, Li Chengzhi's love for her gradually cooled down. In the following days, his attitude towards Meng Mingwei became more and more indifferent, and he no longer cared about trivial matters in the family.
Even after Meng Mingwei fell into a pyramid scheme, Li Chengzhi only cared about the amount of money that was defrauded, and did not care about his wife's safety. The contradictions between them are like a mess, and it seems that they can no longer be resolved.
Third, the second sister Meng Yunqing was wronged after marrying into the Tao family, but her mother's help backfired
Similar to the marriage experience of the eldest sister Meng Mingwei, the second sister Meng Yunqing's love road is also full of twists and turns. When she fell in love with her husband Tao Dalei, she was resolutely opposed by her mother Qiao Haiyun.
Qiao Haiyun was not satisfied with the Tao family's family business. In her opinion, the Tao family is not only poor and lives in the countryside, but also retains many feudal and superstitious customs, which is really difficult to match a wealthy family like the Meng family.
However, the stubborn Meng Yunqing ignored her mother's advice and still chose to marry Tao Dalei.
The life of the Tao family after marriage made Meng Yunqing taste the bitterness. The backward and outdated living environment, coupled with her mother-in-law's difficulties for her, made Meng Yunqing's feelings for the Tao family gradually wear out.
After a fierce quarrel, Meng Yunqing finally made up her mind to leave the Tao family and return to her mother's arms with her daughter. When Qiao Haiyun saw this situation, she immediately stepped forward to protect her daughter and brought Meng Yunqing into her warm mother's house again.
However, what Qiao Haiyun never expected was that her doing so was actually tantamount to further strengthening Tao Dalei's dependence on the Meng family. When he was still living in the Tao family, he had already pinned all his hopes on the wealth that Meng Yunqing had and the possibility of future development.
Now that Meng Yunqing has returned to her parents' home, Tao Dalei has bet all his chips on the economic support and resources that the Meng family can provide.
In order to cater to the preferences of Meng Yunqing and the Meng family, Tao Dalei had to transform into a complete "soft rice man". He had nothing to do every day, relying entirely on his wife to support the family.
What's even more despicable is that in order to grab more wealth, Tao Dalei even went out to have fun and coveted his young dance partners.
Part 4: Miss Meng Yi'an's arrogant freedom leads to a growing conceptual difference between her and her husband Qiu Xia
As the youngest daughter of the Meng family, Meng Yi'an has been spoiled by her mother Qiao Haiyun since she was a child. Qiao Haiyun loved her very much and never punished her in any way, which made Meng Yi'an gradually form an arrogant and self-centered personality.
Although Meng Yi'an excelled in personal ability and a thriving career, she lacked a good quality of magnanimity and tolerance for others deep down. She pursues freedom and abhors bondage, a far cry from the idealism of her husband, Qiu Xia.
After getting married, Meng Yi'an's career was booming, and she began to gradually neglect family life. She was so absorbed in her work that she ignored Qiu Xia's call. As an idealized husband, Qiu Xia originally expected Meng Yi'an to become a virtuous wife and a kind mother, and always adhered to his duties as a wife.
However, the reality is far from the ideal vision. Meng Yi'an became more and more worldly, more and more arrogant, and gradually distanced himself from the gentle, kind, dignified and decent image that Qiu Xia hoped for in his heart.
The couple's differences in values and outlook on life are widening, and quarrels are gradually becoming part of daily life.
During a heated argument, Qiu Xia asked Meng Yi'an if he had completely abandoned his family and put his career above everything else. Meng Yi'an's response was almost vexatious, which made Qiu Xia's heart ache to the extreme, and the contradiction between the two reached an irreparable point.
In the end, under Meng Yi'an's insistent request, the two finally confirmed the decision to divorce. Qiu Xia, who has always been gentle and elegant, actually made such a decisive choice, which is enough to see the depth of the pain in his heart.
After several years of divorce, Qiu Xia is still nostalgic for his former partner Meng Yixin, and secretly has slim expectations, hoping to rekindle the spark of love with her. However, the reality of life is always so cold and unforgiving, and the wounds of marriage are as difficult to heal as a stubborn disease, and in the end, Qiu Xia failed to get his wish.
5. The character of the three sons-in-law is also a key factor in the unhappy marriage of the three sisters
In-depth analysis of the deep reasons why the marriage of the three sisters of the Meng family is in trouble, and the excessive pampering and arrogance of her mother Qiao Haiyun is certainly a major inducement. However, the conduct of the three sons-in-law is equally jaw-dropping, which is undoubtedly another important driver of the breakdown of the marriage.
First of all, let's talk about Li Chengzhi, the husband of the eldest sister Meng Mingwei, and it is really appropriate to use the words "indifferent" and "selfish" to describe him. Li Chengzhi has always maintained an indifferent attitude towards his wife Meng Mingwei, and he also ignores trivial matters in the family.
What's even more infuriating is that when Meng Mingwei strayed into the trap of pyramid schemes, Li Chengzhi didn't care about his wife's life and death, but only cared about how much property he had lost.
Secondly, Tao Dalei, the husband of the second sister Meng Yunqing, can be said to have a combination of the two vices of "weakness and incompetence" and "insatiable". From the moment he stepped into the door of the Meng family, Tao Dalei developed the bad habit of relying on his wife's part-time job to make ends meet.
He spends his days doing nothing, wandering.
What's even worse is that Tao Dalei actually had a bad idea of the young female dance partner.
Finally, about the younger sister Meng Yi'an's husband Qiu Xia, although he is not a typical representative of a "scumbag", he does have a fatal flaw - indecision. Qiu Xia has always adhered to an idealized concept of marriage, believing that his wife should be a model of gentleness and kindness.
However, the reality is that Meng Yi'an, who has a successful career, gradually came up with the idea of leaving. In Qiu Xia's eyes, his wife became more and more vulgar and unattractive. Qiu Xia's heart was full of disappointment and helplessness, and the contradiction between the two intensified.
Although Qiu Xia once longed to be able to reunite with Meng Yi'an, the reality is always so cruel and ruthless. The rift in marriage is like a chasm, difficult to cross, and the crossroads of fate have already set their respective directions for them.
Qiu Xia adheres to idealistic beliefs, but it is this persistence that makes their marriage on the verge of collapse.
