Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]

The Shen family is also a big family in Nanjing. Originally, the Shen family was in the fur business, and now they have a fur shop.Later, Shen Shijun's father, Shen Xiaotong, had a big business, so he left his ancestral property to his original wife to take care of it. He managed other businesses, and even lived with a good concubine he married later. He rarely went back to his old mansion all year round. .

Shen Shijun originally had an older brother who had passed away six or seven years ago, leaving behind a sister-in-law with a nephew, and his mother. Since he went to Nanjing, there have been fewer people here.In comparison, the population in the small mansion is more prosperous. The concubine gave birth to four children in one go, lived with an old lady, and never interacted with the old mansion.Occasionally going back to the old mansion, the concubine and his mother were very on guard, even if he talked to Shen's father, the family would lay an ambush first, so as to control their father and son's every move at any time, lest he get any benefit from Shen's father.

Naturally, such a family cannot give Shen Shijun a good childhood, so he has mixed feelings about Shen's father, and he is usually unwilling to see him.But this time Father Shen was seriously ill, and when he went to visit again, Father Shen was quite dependent on him.That's right, the eldest brother passed away in the early years, and the concubine's child is still young, so he is the only one to rely on, and Shen's father entrusted him to take care of the business.

When Manzhen and Shuhui arrived in Nanjing, they naturally wanted to meet Shen's parents.

When Manzhen left Nanjing, she was wearing a ruby ​​ring given by Shijun, and agreed to Shijun's marriage proposal.The two have agreed that they will get engaged in the first spring.

Unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth, Shen's mother came to him: "Are you familiar with Miss Gu?"

Shijun was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood that his mother had discovered the matter between him and Manzhen, and just as he was going to tell his mother about it, but before he could open his mouth, Shen's mother took the conversation back, as if she didn't intend to listen to him answer.

"I don't ask you for anything else. Yesterday your father said that Miss Gu looks like a dancing girl he had seen before." Although Shen's father said that the dancing girl was uncle Shen Sunju's best friend, could Shen's mother not know?When Shen's father was young, he and his younger brother Shen Sunju were in the same group, and they went to all the major dance halls and clubs in Shanghai. For this reason, the concubine of the small mansion came to scold her, saying that she deliberately instructed her younger brother to spoil Shen's father.Therefore, when she said this to her son, she was determined not to put the blame on her brother.Shen's mother said again: "That dancer's surname is also Gu, the same surname as Ms. Gu, they are both from Shanghai, and they look similar, I'm afraid they are sisters."

Shijun never expected his family to know about Manzhen's sister, and he was a little dazed for a while, because he knew very well that his family would not allow him to marry the dancer's sister, so in the original plan, he would not tell about Manlu.Hearing what his mother said, he instinctively wanted to protect Manzhen, denying that Manzhen had a sister, but he stopped talking.

In his previous life, Shijun had seen Man Lu, and he had a bad impression. He was dressed vulgarly, with a haggard face, like a middle-aged woman married to a rich man, and the staring eyes made him very uncomfortable.But the Man Lu that I have seen in this life is very different, how can I see that she has been rolling in the wind and dust?What's more, Mr. Cheng, the object of Manlu's engagement, is a top student who graduated from a medical school and a surgeon in a large hospital.

Because of this change, he reacted differently from his previous life.

He knew that he couldn't understand his parents, so he didn't explain what happened to the Gu family sisters. Instead, he asked his mother: "Mom, don't you advocate independent marriage?"

"Yes, but, she must be a good girl." To be honest, Shijun's reaction made Shen's mother even more worried.

Shijun heard the meaning behind his mother's words, as if he had decided that Manzhen was not a girl, and couldn't help but turn cold: "Manzhen is a good girl." Shen's mother was shocked by his blunt words, but she was even more shocked when she heard it. The words are in the back: "Mom, I have already proposed to Manzhen, she agreed, and we plan to get engaged after the new year."

There was a bang in Shen's mother's mind, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, but she stuttered and couldn't utter a complete sentence: "Shijun, you, you, have you thought clearly? She is..."

"Mom!" Shijun didn't want to hear his mother slander Manzhen, but it was a fact that her sister was a dancer, which made Shijun feel that he couldn't open his mouth to say good things, and felt bitter.

In fact, Shen's mother didn't like Manzhen very much, but she also felt that she was a good girl, but now she only had one son in the world, and she always wanted to be good for her son, no matter how good Manzhen was, she was not the daughter-in-law she wanted.She had always hoped that her son would marry a well-matched eldest lady, but unfortunately the matter with Shi Cuizhi failed before, and now Shi Cuizhi is engaged to Yipeng.

Little did they know that Shi Cuizhi had already broken off the engagement with Fang Yipeng at this time, because Shi Cuizhi liked Shu Hui, and this time Shu Hui came to Nanjing, which stimulated her heart again, and she took this step bravely for love.It's a pity that although Shuhui likes her equally, he is too sober.Shu Hui knew that Shi's mother looked down on him, and that he and Shi Cuizhi had such disparity in family background that it was impossible for them to be together, so he always restrained this relationship.

Shi Cuizhi couldn't see the response, and was very sad, but she still couldn't forget it.

After the divorce, Fang Yipeng was angry and depressed for a few days, and then suddenly got engaged to Dou Wenxian, saying that he was a fool before, so it turned out that he had always liked Dou Wenxian.

Shen's mother doesn't care about other things, but the eldest daughter-in-law is from the Fang family. Fang Yipeng is the eldest grandmother's younger brother, and Shi Cuizhi is the eldest grandmother's cousin.Grandma was very defensive, so she kept saying bad things about Dou Wenxian, which made Shen's mother know that Shi Cuizhi's marriage failed. No, she had another thought in her heart, fearing that she would offend everyone in the world by acting as a matchmaker without authorization, so she dared not say it.

Can't say anything else, Shen's mother will talk about Shen's father. "Your father doesn't like Miss Gu. He has a bad temper. If you know it, you won't change it. It's very rare for you to make sense of him."

Shijun knew it in his heart, but he was also embarrassed, but his face was cold and he didn't say a word.

Shen's mother couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so she advised him: "Your father is ill, don't provoke him, otherwise... If you really don't want Miss Gu, just put it aside and wait until your father's illness improves. "

Shijun suddenly seemed to be meeting his mother for the first time.He always thought that his mother didn't know about him and Manzhen, but judging from the conversation tonight, she knew about it a long time ago, she could see it long ago, but she could bear not to say anything, and she didn't even show any abnormality.The women in the old-style house may not know anything else, but they are very skilled in acting like sheep.He had never felt that his mother was one of them before, which surprised him and felt sad at the same time.

His mother had a hard life. His father didn't respect her, ignored her, and left her to guard the old house and leather goods shop. He came back only one day on New Year's Eve every year. In recent years, even on New Year's Eve, he was stopped by the concubine of the small mansion from coming back. .It was because this family was so boring and depressing that he would study hard before, go to school, and even work in Shanghai, but now because of his mother's request, he couldn't leave his widow, nephew, and mother behind, so he had to resign from Shanghai and come back to support the family business .It's no wonder that Manzhen was disappointed in him, he was too persistent, always easy to soften and compromise.

A few days later, uncle Shen Sunju celebrated his birthday, and Shijun followed his uncle back home to Shanghai.

Shijun came to Gu's house to see Manzhen.

It happened that Gu's mother was talking about Manlu's marriage with Mrs. Gu. When Shijun heard the word "Manlu", he immediately thought of his mother's words. Because of Manlu's reason, his marriage with Manzhen was hindered, and he felt somewhat unhappy. His complexion is not very good.He was a little angry at Manlu, but he knew that without Manlu, Manzhen would not be what he is today. He was more troubled, and he didn't know how to make his parents accept Manzhen.He can't do the thing of turning against his parents for the sake of marriage and loving his lover as in the play. He pities his mother, and he can't leave his widow and nephew behind.

When Manzhen asked about his father's illness, Shijun couldn't hold back, and told her what his mother said.

Manzhen asked how he answered.

Shi Jun sighed: "I don't know how to answer, your sister is also a poor person, and now she is not a dancer, it's the end of all hardships. My parents are old-fashioned people, and they are not easy to be persuaded."

Manzhen heard his embarrassment, although he was not decisive, but Manzhen has always been aware of his own personality, and this is also his benefit.The most rare thing is that he understands his sister Manlu, and neither despises nor ignores her. This makes Manzhen, who has always been worried about this, very moved.Putting himself in the same vein as others, really can't ask him to do more.

Manzhen guessed what he was thinking, and said, "Your father is sick, so don't worry him, so let's not talk about our business, let's talk about it when he is better."

These words are exactly the same as those of Shen's mother, but they have their own thoughts.Shen's mother is procrastinating, hoping that they will slowly break up with the passage of time, Manzhen is also procrastinating, but she hopes that the Shen family will slowly accept her, or find a way to resolve the problem.

Seeing her being so considerate, Shijun felt guilty: "Manzhen, I'm sorry."

Manzhen smiled and said, "I'm glad that you didn't avoid seeing me because of family opposition. If you can persist, how can I hold you back?"

The two communicated with each other and confessed their thoughts, and all the previous confusion disappeared.

Just after the first lunar month, Father Shen's condition deteriorated and he was transferred to a hospital in Shanghai for treatment.

Coincidentally, Cheng Jinyan is the surgeon of this hospital. Although Manlu helps him sort out some documents, she is not considered an employee of the hospital. After all, nurses need qualifications, but Manlu often comes to the hospital. get to know her.Shen's father was hospitalized here, Shen's mother didn't come, but his concubine came, and Shen's uncle was there to take care of him.One day, Father Shen was lying on the hospital bed looking out the window, and happened to see a somewhat familiar woman. He squinted his eyes and looked around for a while, then suddenly remembered——Li Lu!Gu Manlu!

Father Shen couldn't help frowning when he saw a male doctor in a white coat next to her, and the two behaved intimately.

Just when a nurse came to change the medicine, Father Shen asked the nurse, "Who is that doctor?"

The nurse looked at it and said with a smile: "It's Dr. Cheng from our hospital, the first surgical operation. The one next to him is his wife."

Shen's father asked his first and last name again, and the nurse only knew that his surname was Gu, but this was enough for Shen's father.Shen's father talked about Li Lu with Shen Sunju during the year, and laughed at the other party's growing decline. He was very happy, but now he learned that Li Lu married a doctor in a big hospital. Lu, it's a pity that Li Lu was indifferent to him, spent a lot of money and didn't get any benefits, and was dragged back by his concubine because of this, which made him resentful towards Li Lu.Shen's father also knew that although Shijun's temperament was soft, it was hard for a man to meet a woman he liked. His son had obviously not broken up with the woman of the Gu family.

However, Shen's father was unable to control him, and his illness was getting worse. Besides, even if he said it, this son who grew up not with him might not be able to listen to it.

Within half a month, Shen's father came to his deathbed, Shen's mother also came from Nanjing, and there was another concubine with four children, crowding the room full of people.In fact, Manzhen also came, but because of Shen's father's illness, the engagement that she had discussed with Shijun failed to take place, she had no name or share, and Shen's family didn't like her, so she couldn't go in and visit her.At this time, she was sitting in the office of her brother-in-law Cheng Jinyan, talking to Man Lu.

Man Lu suddenly said: "I met Shen Xiaotong the other day, and I recognize him, and he still remembers me." Man Lu knew many customers, and not everyone remembered them, but she had an impression of Shen Xiaotong, but not a good one.After briefing Manzhen about the entanglement in the past, Manlu said: "The Shen family's parents will never give a nod to your affairs. They are afraid that Shen's father will ask Shen Shijun when he is dying. At that time, your affairs will be even more difficult."

Manzhen shook her fingers.

Man Lu said again: "If you want me to say, once the Shen family's funeral is over, you can persuade Shen Shijun to go out together, leave Shanghai, and go to see other places. You don't need to avoid it for a lifetime, just two or three years, just talk about doing business, two or two years." The situation will be completely different when you come back three years later. If you stay, Shen Shijun will not be able to convince your parents, nor will you be able to leave the family, your affairs will either drag on for a long time, or one day he will give in to the family and marry someone else."

Man Lu didn't say what would happen to Manzhen, but she knew clearly that her sister had a persistent temper, just like in her previous life, she escaped from Zhu's mansion and went to find Shen Shijun.Unfortunately, at that time Shen Shijun had already married someone else.

As Man Lu expected, Shen's father had to give an account at the end of his life. Although it was unknown whether the people alive after his death would obey him, but he couldn't let it go, so he had to give an account.However, his long-sick body exhausted his vitality, and it was difficult for him to speak, so he could only speak intermittently, then looked at all the people in the room, and finally shook Shijun's hand: "Gu, Gu..."

In the end, Father Shen couldn't finish speaking and passed away.

Outsiders don't know what it means, but Shen's mother and Shijun understand that when he is about to die, Shen's father wants to tell him not to marry Gu Manzhen.For Shen's father's death, the concubine wailed loudly, but Shen's mother was not sad, but an elated victor's gesture.For more than 20 years, Shen's mother has been in the old mansion like a widow, and she gets along very little with Shen's father. She has long since lost hope in this man. Who knows that Shen's father returned to her when he was seriously ill and handed everything over to her. in the hands of the son.She didn't care about the process, but only about the result. Father Shen returned to him in the end and died beside her. She won, and felt that this was good. She would not be sad for Father Shen's death.

As for Shijun, even though Shen's father is his real father, the lack of his father since he was a child, the quarrel with his mother and his indifference made him less sad and more disappointed.

Manzhen also went to Shen's father's funeral, and did not stay too long as he did his best.

Because of this, Shen's mother became more and more anxious. Hearing that the Shi family was also worried about Shi Cuizhi's marriage, she kept introducing Shi Cuizhi for a blind date, which showed some meaning.When Shijun heard his mother mention Shi Cuizhi a few times, he would take it easy, and made it clear that he and Shi Cuizhi were impossible, and that he liked Manzhen.

Shen's mother had no choice but to say: "Your father doesn't want to..."

"Mom! I don't like Cuizhi, you must want me to marry her. Will we be like you and your father when we get married?" Shen Shijun was annoyed by being forced, and he inevitably had a bad tone, which immediately hit Shen's mother's pain.After he finished speaking, he regretted that he shouldn't hurt his mother, so he calmed down and said, "Mom, Manzhen is really good, she is a good girl, she joined the factory to work as soon as she graduated, she is an innocent girl. Her sister...Although she went the wrong way back then, she was forced to do nothing because of her family, and now she is no longer a dancer. Mom, haven't you met Dr. Cheng? That is Manzhen's brother-in-law."

Mother Shen was taken aback: "Really?"

Shen's mother went to the hospital only two days after Shen's father died. She accidentally saw Cheng Jinyan, and heard that many people in the hospital praised him. After knowing it, she was also very impressed.At that time, how did she know that Mrs. Cheng Jinyan was actually Gu Manlu, a dancing girl!Shen's mother's heart became active. A doctor in a big hospital may be romantic and marry a good concubine, but she has never seen a dancer as a wife.

Shen's mother sighed: "Your father and your uncle know Miss Gu's sister, so maybe others don't know about it. If you are married, won't others laugh at the Shen family?"

Although Shen's mother softened her tone, she still disagreed.

Shijun still hesitated when he thought of what Manzhen said.

Two months later, all the affairs of the Shen family were settled.Shen's father is gone, and there is a lot of trouble in the small mansion, just for money, and the disposal of the inheritance is also mediation.The most tit-for-tat was not Shen's mother and Shijun, but the grandma who fell in love with the concubine. Later, Shijun's distribution method made the grandma very dissatisfied. She felt that Shijun was too soft-hearted. She only knew how to feel sorry for the orphans and widows over there. concubine.Grandma just thinks about everything all day when she has nothing to do. Brother Shen is gone in the early years, and Mother Shen can't do much for her grandson. How is Shi Dafang?In case the two families are separated again, how much will the big family get?

Shijun was completely unaware of this, and Shen's mother ignored it.

This day, Shen's mother asked Shijun to accompany her to go out again, Shijun counted, this was the third time this month.Shen's mother always used various excuses to drag him out, or bring people to the door, and she would always meet young girls, her intentions were obvious, but because she didn't say it clearly, and every time there were too many people, he was concerned about his mother's mood so he didn't say much. Now it is unbearable.

"Mom, don't worry about it." He just refused, but didn't say much, turned around and went back to the room.

Mother Shen sighed, not daring to push anymore.

A few days later, Shen Shijun left home, leaving only a letter to Shen's mother, saying that he wanted to look elsewhere.Shen Shijun had no intention of accepting Shen's father's business before. After Shen's father passed away, he took care of everything. Part of it was given to his concubine for maintenance and family expenses, and part was left to his mother, sister-in-law and nephew. He didn't bring much money himself. When Shen's mother arranged blind dates more and more frequently, she left home with a letter.

He loves his mother and feels sorry for his sister-in-law and nephew, but this family makes him depressed and suffocated. Although there are only four of them in the family, so many trivial things can happen every day, and everyone has their own thoughts.Coupled with the fact that his relationship with Manzhen was still not recognized, he finally decided to go out to work and come back after a year or so.

As for where to go, after he discussed with Manzhen, they were persuaded by Cheng Jinyan in the end, and the two planned to go to the north.When they arrived at the train station, they saw that Shu Hui who came to see them off also saluted with a big bag, saying that he wanted to go with them.

They all know what it means to go to the north, maybe they hesitated before, but when they meet in one place, they are inevitably complacent when they talk to each other.

"Miss Shi." Man Lu suddenly called out.

Shijun and Shuhui turned their heads to see that the person walking from the other side of the train was Shi Cuizhi.Shi Cuizhi gritted her teeth and pursed her lips as she looked at Shuhui. At this moment, even the dullest people could see the affection in her eyes. Shijun was surprised and stunned, but Manzhen was very emotional. She never thought that Miss Shi's family would have such courage. This is... Run away from home.

Manzhen frowned: Shijun left a book and ran away, Shi Cuizhi ran away from home, Nanjing...is there any misunderstanding?

With a sound of the whistle, the train started slowly. The four young people sat together, watching the Shanghai platform getting farther and farther away, while they set sail for a new life.

And on a street in Shanghai, a mad woman in disheveled clothes ran out, and a car crashed into it before the brakes could be reached.The woman flew up like a kite with a broken string, and finally fell on the road. A pool of blood spread under her body, her eyes were wide open, she was breathless, and the dagger stained with blood was still tightly clenched in her hand. of.

Several men chased out from the alley, saw the car accident here, and when they found the woman dead, they looked at each other, and immediately walked away quietly.

There was a small section in the next day's newspaper, and there was a news about the female murderer who killed her husband last year who was hit by a car and died.People who remembered the news were talking about it, and many people shouted that it was retribution.The dead woman was Gu Zhenzhen!

Gu Zhenzhen always thought that being unable to get rid of Zhu Hong was the pain, but she didn't know that the night when she left Zhu's mansion was the beginning of the real pain and bad luck.

Gu Zhenzhen has her own culture, work experience, and a lot of money, so her future life will not be a problem.She knew that the police who killed someone were looking for her, so she planned to leave Shanghai first and come back after the incident subsided. After all, only Shanghai would be the safest island in a few years.However, she didn't expect that the rickshaw that stopped at random didn't take her to the train station, but took her to a strange and dark alley. Several people rushed out from the darkness, held her hands and feet, and covered her lips. Mouth and nose, not only searched her body clean, but also tied her up and sold her to Zhu Baosan Road.

At first she thought these people were kidnappers, but she didn't pay attention when she heard the street name of Zhubao [-]rd Road, she was only flustered about who would come to redeem her?But when she got to the place, she found out like falling into an ice cave, what kidnapping?This is simply abduction!These people "skinned her pig" first, and then sold her to the hall behind the bar. The hall is a brothel!

Gu Zhenzhen struggled, resisted, and pretended to be crazy, but those people were ruthless, and all kinds of tricks emerged one after another.Later, she could only accept that in order to survive and get rid of the muddy life, she tried her best to show her worth, which indeed attracted many customers and raised her value.She had the right to choose a guest, but she didn't expect that a guest who had no intention of rejecting her would maliciously retaliate, get her drunk, and throw her to a few of her subordinates...

In all of this, Tangzi's boss is an accomplice.

She hates it!She didn't have the courage to live anymore, not to mention her body couldn't allow her to live any longer.She took a chance to kill Tangzi's boss and ran out, but she couldn't really escape.

Shanghai, the legendary prosperous and luxurious metropolis, turned out to be a vicious beast that eats people without spitting out bones.

Tao Shuobai put Gu Zhenzhen's soul in a peachwood bottle, and she can still feel her last obsession: wanting to go home.
