Note: This article is based on the original novel "Children of the Qiao Family", and the pictures are from the TV series "Children of the Qiao Family".
When the eldest son Qiao Yicheng was 12 years old, Wei Shuying gave birth to the fifth child.
Wei Shuying walked to the hospital with a big belly in order to save money on taxis. In the hospital, she was in severe pain from dystocia, but her husband Qiao Zuwang played mahjong leisurely at the poker table.
Others persuaded Qiao Zuwang to go to the hospital to see Wei Shuying, Qiao Zuwang didn't even lift his eyelids, and said casually:
"What's so beautiful, which woman doesn't have children, and it's not her first time, why is it so expensive this time? "
Wei Shuying, who has had multiple pregnancies and children, has long been in poor health. family planning propagandists once advised Wei Shuying to get rid of this child. Neighbors also said that "there are multiple children and more mouths", suggesting that she should not have another child. .
But Wei Shuying, who is cowardly, didn't listen. She couldn't give up the flesh and blood in her stomach. In the end, she died in the hospital's delivery room because of this child.
Wei Shuying's sister, Wei Shufang, took Qiao Yicheng's four siblings and ran to the hospital to see their mother for the last time. The children were too young to know what happened to their mother, and they had to be guided by adults even when they cried.
In a hurry, Qiao Zuwang arranged a funeral for Wei Shuying. Qiao Zuwang, who had been stingy all his life, finally gave a generous hand and hung a red curtain for Wei Shuying. Qiao Zuwang said:
"She has never worn a good dress in her life, and she died. Make a tent, let’s have a look.”
At this humble funeral, Qiao Yicheng didn’t cry, outsiders said he was cruel, but they didn’t understand at all, Qiao Yicheng couldn’t shed a single tear, it wasn’t that he wasn’t sad, but It was that he never accepted the fact that his mother died young.
was also at this funeral, which made Qiao Yicheng see all kinds of people, all of whom said that people take tea to cool, and human nature really can't stand the test. Those three kinds of ugly faces are the biggest irony of Wei Shuying's dedication to her life.
"Sisters are easy to marry"
Wei Shuying and Qi Zhiqiang grew up together, they were childhood sweethearts, and they got engaged when they were old, and the Qi family sent the betrothal gift to the Wei family.
Wei Shuying has longing for a happy marriage and is waiting to marry Qi Zhiqiang, but her biological sister Wei Shufang knelt in front of Wei Shuying and cried:
"Give me Zhiqiang, Qiao Zuwang is also very happy with you, he The family has a shop, and the conditions are good." In order to force Wei Shuying to give up Qi Zhiqiang, the younger sister,
, even looked for life and death. If Wei Shuying did not agree, she would jump into the river.
The kind-hearted Wei Shuying relented. She promised her parents that she would take good care of her sister. If something happened to her sister, she would not be able to explain to Quanxia's second elder.
Wei Shuying really followed Qiao Zuwang just before the wedding.
Qi Zhiqiang, who was kept in the dark, didn't know what he had done wrong. Seeing that his fiancee married someone else, he had to accept Wei Shufang, who was passionately pursuing him.
Wei Shuying sacrificed her marriage for her sister, and also ruined the happiness of her life with her own hands, but her sister did not thank her much for it. After Wei Shuying died, her sister also took the only "precious" item from her funeral— - The red tent.
Wei Shuying's hospitalization fee was not settled. The newborn child Qiao Qiqi was left in the hospital, but Qi Zhiqiang took the money and brought back Qiao Qiqi. Wei Shufang said to Qiao Zuwang:
"I told you brother-in-law, that We lent you the money, not for you! You have to remember to pay it back! We are close relatives, it doesn't matter if you don't write an IOU, you remember to pay it back." She cried a lot, but she was more concerned about her sister's hospital bills from her family than the loss of a loved one. She always remembered the money and reminded Qiao Zuwang at least three times.
After Wei Shuying left, Qiao Zuwang still had to go to work and had no energy to take Qiao Qiqi in the swaddle, so Qiao Zuwang entrusted Qiao Qiqi to Wei Shufang, and Qiao Zuwang paid the living expenses on time every month.
As the child's second aunt, Wei Shufang still does not change her calculating nature. While urging Guan Qiao Zuwang to ask for money, Wei Shufang avoids Qiao Qiqi's illness.
Qiao Qiqi had problems with her legs and feet when she was a child, Wei Shufang quickly sent Qiao Qiqi back to Qiao Zuwang, and Qi Weimin, Wei Shufang's eldest son, took pity on this little cousin who was born without a mother, and went to see a doctor with Qiao Qiqi on his back. It was only after Qiao Qiqi was cured.
At that time, Qi Weimin was only a teenager, but he was able to treat his brothers with compassion and kindness. Wei Shufang was not as good as the young Qi Weimin in this regard.
If Wei Shuying knew that after her death, Wei Shufang would even take away her tent, she was so indifferent, would she still be willing to give Qi Zhiqiang to Wei Shufang? I think Wei Shuying will not regret it, because she is used to sacrificing herself and fulfilling others, which is also doomed to her tragic end!
The mystery of Qiao Qiqi's life experience
The biological sisters can calculate and care so much, let alone outsiders?
At Wei Shuying's funeral, not many people were really sad. They even talked about Wei Shuying's gossip in front of the children, and the story of "sisters getting married easily" spread widely.
is also because Wei Shuying had a relationship with Qi Zhiqiang before marriage, and the mystery of Qiao Qiqi's life experience has become a topic of conversation after dinner.
They all said that Qiao Qiqi was Qi Zhiqiang's child, and gave a good reason: the four children of Qiao's family are all ordinary in appearance, only Qiao Qiqi was born exceptionally beautiful, and illegitimate children are the most beautiful.
These words reached the ears of 12-year-old Qiao Yicheng. He was suspicious of Qiao Qiqi's life experience. This incident also separated the biological brothers for more than ten years.
Everyone will say that in order to satisfy their curiosity, they have no bottom line to smear the deceased.
People can win the respect of others only if they learn to respect others. For those who have a tragic fate, even if we can't be sympathetic, we shouldn't fall for it.
They don't know how much harm they will cause to ignorant children if they talk freely and are addicted to their mouths. There is a kind of evil called "knife mouth knife heart".
"a few days mourning leave "
Wei Shuying's dystocia has a lot to do with her walking to the hospital. In order to save a few dollars in the fare, she walked alone with a big belly to give birth, and Qiao Zuwang heard about her After that, I went to the hospital in a comfortable car to make trouble.
Wei Shuying passed away tragically, but Qiao Zuwang cheated in the hospital, did not pay the hospital fee, and left the newly born Qiao Qiqi in the hospital.
Afterwards, Qiao Zuwang enjoyed a few days of bereavement leave and played mahjong for several days in a row, euphemistically called it "soothing his middle-aged wife's pain".
Does Qiao Zuwang really hurt?
He didn't want to take care of the children. Wei Shuying's departure made Qiao Zuwang more free. Qiao Zuwang was addicted to card tables and bathhouses. Qiao Yicheng was forced to grow up and became the little parent of his younger brothers and sisters.
" Qiao Family's Children " in the original book describes Qiao Zuwang's happy life after his wife's death:
"I made three friends and four friends, and my life was very nourishing. It's also a little more peaceful." Some people on
said that Qiao Zuwang did not marry again, and did not find a stepmother for the children, which shows that he is a good father.
In fact, it's not that Qiao Zuwang doesn't want to marry again, it's that he has no conditions for remarrying, and he has 5 fuel bottles. Even if he has an urban hukou, even rural women are reluctant to find him like this.
Qiao Zuwang sold the jewelry that Wei Shuying left to her daughter in order to eat alone, let Qiao Yicheng be the head of the family at the age of 12, and also found a family and sent Qiao Simei over.
Without the protection of her mother, the five children of Qiao's family grew up with difficulty. Qiao Simei knew that she loved her family at a young age and escaped from her adoptive parents' house with superior conditions. She said that she missed her eldest brother and her father, and Qiao Zuwang was very fond of her children. But there is almost no such inseparable affection.
isSuch an irresponsible man, Wei Shuying gave birth to 5 children with him one after another, Qiao Zuwang doesn't love children so much, he just cares that the children "are his seed".
Wei Shuying is extremely patient and tolerant to Qiao Zuwang. She is a virtuous and kind good wife, but Qiao Zuwang is not worth her effort at all. Her confused views on marriage, love and fertility are the biggest pushers that push her to the end.
wrote at the end
Women are really choosing their fates to marry. Wei Shuying gave up her fiance to her sister in order to fulfill her sister, and she married Qiao Zuwang casually. From the moment she backed down, her marriage was doomed. will be happy.
Love is the last thing that can't be given away casually. A marriage without love is a great test of human nature.
If Wei Shuying were to marry the honest and kind Qi Zhiqiang, Qi Zhiqiang would never let her risk having 5 children, and she would not let her walk to the hospital alone. Women, please marry someone who knows how to cherish herself!
Ironically, after Qi Zhiqiang passed away, Wei Shufang started the second spring again, remarried a man who had never been married, and finally the two were buried together. Wei Shufang disregarded gossip and dared to love and hate love, A selfish woman like her has a better life than Wei Shuying!
Before a woman loves others, please learn to love yourself first, don't take yourself too seriously, and don't despise yourself. Qiao Zuwang lived to an old age and was served by a nanny. His happy ending should be the most important thing to alert Wei Shuying.
Wei Shuying's early death, in addition to making the growth of the children more difficult, hardly hurt Wei Shufang and Qiao Zuwang in the slightest. Family and love may not be worth a woman's sacrifice. Life is too short. Live by yourself.
