In this life, Fugui can be said to have achieved nothing. When he was young, he ate, drank and gambled, and lost the property left by his ancestors. But whether he was poor or rich, his wife, Jiazhen, never complained.
In the novel, when the old Fugui recalled Jiazhen, he said: "Jiazhen is a good woman, and I can marry such a virtuous woman in my life, which I bought after a lifetime of barking as a dog in my previous life." ”
The rebellious family treasure is accustomed to forbearance. She had 4 opportunities to leave Fugui and return to her mother's house to live a worry-free life. But I don't know why, she identified Fugui, and she had no second thoughts.
Still
Fugui was a complete bastard when he was young. He was often absent from home and ate and drank in the city. At that time, he had no family in his eyes. Jia Zhen's father opened a rice shop in the city, and every time Fugui passed by the rice shop, he had to deliberately humiliate his father-in-law. The old man was trembling with anger at him, but no one could do anything about him.
Jia Zhen knew what he had done in the city, but she was docile and would only indirectly remind Fugui. Fugui understands Jiazhen's painstaking heart, but his playful heart is too heavy to be recovered.
When Youqing was in the belly of the family for seven or eight months, Fugui became obsessed with gambling money. Jia Zhen walked more than a dozen miles to the city with a big belly to find him, and in front of those who gambled money, she directly knelt on the ground and begged Fugui over and over again to let him hurry home.
Fugui could not lose face in front of the fox dog friend, and when he saw that Jiazhen refused to go back, he punched and kicked her. Until he felt bored himself, he grabbed a handful of money and asked people to throw Jia Zhen out.
Jia Zhen covered her stomach with her hands, her face was full of tear marks, and her cape was scattered. She must have been very bitter in her heart. It was already dark, and she slowly stood up against the wall and headed home. As she passed her father's rice line, Jia Zhen cried.
My woman wiped her tears and walked to the door of her father's line and stood for a long time, and she saw her father's head imprinted on the wall by the bright light of the kerosene lamp, and she knew he was counting the accounts. She stood there whimpering for a moment and then walked away. ”
This is the most uncomfortable part of the novel. Jia Zhen, such a spoiled young lady, was beaten up in public by her husband when she was pregnant, and at that time she must have wanted to go back to her mother's house and cry with her father. But she didn't go back. I think that she did this because she was reluctant to leave Fugui, and second, she didn't want her father to worry.
If she had pushed open her father's shop door and not returned to Fugui's house, then she would not have to live a hard life with Fugui in the future. But she didn't, she was alone, stepping on the muddy road, and returned to Fugui's home.
Not long after Jia Zhen returned, Fugui lost all his family business. Fugui's father could not bear this blow and died soon after. On the tenth day after his death, Jiazhen's father led a group of people, beating gongs and drums, carrying a flower palanquin, and as soon as he arrived at Fugui's house, he asked, "What about the beast?" ”
Jia Zhen's father hated Fu Gui so much that he told Fu Gui, "How did I marry Jia Zhen in the first place, and how can I take her back today?" Fugui did not dare to speak, and Jiazhen did not dare to refute her father. At her father's urging, she had to pack the package, looked at Fugui a few times, and then entered the palanquin.
Jia Zhen is gentle in nature, but her father is not a master who suffers losses. Fugui had been too arrogant before, and jiazhen and her father simply couldn't stand him. Now that Fugui was downcast, he couldn't watch his daughter suffer with this bastard.
More than two months after Jiazhen was taken away, she gave birth to Youqing. After another half a year, Jiazhen took Youqing with her, walked more than ten miles, and returned to Fugui's house. Their custom there is that a woman is picked up by her mother's family and sent back by her mother's family. Jia Zhen walked back alone, which showed that her father did not agree to her going back.
At that time, Fugui was already an authentic farmer. Soon after Jia Zhen returned, she changed into a beautiful cheongsam, put on coarse cloth clothes, and worked in the field with Fugui. She was picked up by her father that day, and did not resist, maybe she had already thought about it, eat well and dress warmly at her mother's house, and then come back to find Fugui after giving birth to a child safely.
After Jia Zhen returned with the child, Fugui began to really feel sorry for her.
Fugui's mother was ill, and Fugui went to the city to ask Langzhong to see his mother. But Langzhong did not invite him home, but Fugui himself was arrested by La Zhuangding. Jia Zhen didn't know anything at home. Two months later, Fugui's mother was gone. Jia Zhen pulled her two children by herself and struggled to get by. Almost two years later, Fugui escaped from the battlefield and ran back.
When he returned, Fengxia had become a mute. Jia Zhen saw FuGui and sat on the ground and cried. This "stupid" woman, obviously her mother's family is so rich, but she is willing to guard this broken house, waiting for his man who has achieved nothing. For two years, there was no news of Fugui at all, and she waited for him like this, never thinking of taking the child back to her mother's house.
Unless she had to, Jia Zhen was reluctant to return to her mother's house. During the famine, Fengxia dug up a sweet potato, and Wang Si bullied her into being a mute, so he slandered her for robbing him of his sweet potato. This was a big deal, but in the end, the Fugui family only got a third of the sweet potatoes.
At that time, Jia Zhen was already ill. She had hypochondriasis, there was no medicine to save, that is, there was medicine to save, and Fugui did not have money to buy it. In order for her family to eat a delicious meal, Jia Zhen carried the branches of the tree and went to dig up wild vegetables. "Other people's families dig wild vegetables and squat down, she is on her knees on the ground, and her body is shaking when she stands up."
The day after Fengxia and Wang Si competed for sweet potatoes, Jia Zhen went to her mother's house on crutches. She didn't tell Fugui that she was going to her mother's house to eat, and she didn't let anyone accompany her. More than a dozen miles to the city, Jia Zhen went once and for a day.
When she went, Fugui looked at Jiazhen, "She is so thin that she has no flesh on her body, and her clothes that were originally stretched have become loose and crumbling, swinging around in the wind." It was this sick woman who brought back a small bag of rice from her mother's house. At that time, rice was a good thing, and the Fugui family had not tasted rice for a month or two.
Jia Zhen knew that her father's life was also difficult, but for the sake of Fugui and the child, she could only be an unfilial daughter. The rice in the pot was fragrant, and Jia Zhen smiled, and she said, "Finally, I can make you eat a good meal." But she cried as she spoke. She remembered her father, who was reluctant to eat it.
I remember that In Yu Hua's novel "Shouting in the Drizzle", she described a rebellious woman who brought food to her husband on the day she gave birth. She had a hard time giving birth to the baby alone at home. When she went to the field with her food, his husband scolded her for delivering the food late, and she silently said that she was born. Her husband simply asked her if she was a boy or a girl, without even a word of concern for her.
Later, her husband always stayed at the widow's house in the village in the middle of the night and returned to her side in the middle of the night. She watched as he emptied his home, and all the things that had been moved had become the widow's house. She endured for a long time, and she resisted. But she never dared to rebel against her shameless husband.
If Fugui did not repent, then Jiazhen could also become such a tragic figure. She endured too much, from Fugui eating, drinking and gambling, to gambling with him, to losing all his family property, but she did not complain about Fugui.
Sometimes I hate her kindness and tolerance, and I feel like she's gambling on her own life and her child's life. She had 4 chances to leave Fugui and take her children back to her mother's house to live a carefree life. But she never thought like that, even when Fugui was arrested and went to be a strong ding, she didn't leave.
I thought of a novel again, Yan Geling's The Ninth Widow. The king grape inside is also an "infatuated" woman. When Lao Pu was down, she stayed up with him without complaint or regret. When he had developed, he returned to the city and married a delicate and young wife. Later, Lao Pu fell again, and his wife immediately abandoned him. He returned to the village, and the grapes were as good as ever for him.
Later, Lao Pu was still with his wife. The day he rode away, the grapes were swinging, and she felt very uncomfortable. But she didn't complain about anything.
Writers always love to praise such an infatuated stupid woman. But behind their infatuation, why not be sad and sad?
"Alive" read the second half, Jia Zhen said a sentence when she was dying poked my tears again, she said: "This life is almost over, you are so good to me, I am also satisfied, I gave birth to a pair of children for you, it is also a reward for you, the next life we will live together." ”
What is no complaints and no regrets? Maybe that's it.
