A few years later, Xu Zhimo married the woman he loved, Lu Xiaoman. I thought it was a sweet and happy marriage, but I didn't expect to get married for only two months. Xu Zhimo wrote to Zhang Youyi and told her about her depressed life.
Zhang Youyi is Xu Zhimo's first wife. Because of their similar family backgrounds, they held a wedding after their parents decided.
They are not in free love, and Zhang Youyi's quiet and peaceful personality is not what Xu Zhimo likes.
This marriage is hard for Xu Zhimo, who is full of poetry in his bones, so he has always avoided contact with Zhang Youyi. Even if they already have children, even if they have a constant relationship, Xu Zhimo can't really accept this feeling between him and Zhang Youyi.
He doesn't like Zhang Youyi's old-fashioned clothes and her staid personality.
Even during their marriage, they pursued Lin, the goddess in their hearts.
In order to get the favor of the goddess, Zhang Youyi, who was pregnant at that time, spared no expense to have an abortion.
He doesn't love the woman in front of him, and even rejects the unborn child. Such a move has undoubtedly deeply hurt Zhang Youyi's heart, and this marriage has become a torment for two people.
But Zhang Youyi didn't have an abortion. She decided to stay with her children. Shortly after the child was born, Xu Zhimo brought the divorce agreement, and Zhang Youyi died completely.
1922, the two officially divorced.
Immediately after the divorce, Xu Zhimo published this "good news" in the newspaper, telling the world that he had lifted the shackles of worrying about himself for a long time.
It was the first time that someone published the news of divorce in the newspaper during the Republic of China, but Zhang Youyi had to be a "divorced" woman and put up with others' gossip and incomprehension.
Because Xu Zhimo doesn't love, he doesn't think from Zhang Youyi's point of view at all. He doesn't care how sad the woman who has lived with him for many years will be when she sees this news, and he doesn't think about what others will think of Zhang Youyi and how much unwarranted criticism she will bear.
Although Xu Zhimo and Zhang Youyi refused to die, fortunately Xu Fu and Xu Mu are both reasonable people.
They understand that Zhang Youyi has done housework for Xu Zhimo for so many years, and he has to take care of the elderly all over the world, worrying about things big and small in the future, and his son divorced just after giving birth to a child, and his heart is full of guilt for Zhang Youyi.
They insisted on recognizing Zhang Youyi as their adopted daughter, and the two old people were still used to telling Zhang Youyi anything.
From 65438 to 0925, Xu Zhimo had fallen in love with his friend's wife Lu Xiaoman.
Both of them believe that as long as they really love each other, then they don't have to care about other people's eyes and secular ideas.
Xu's father and mother saw their son entangled with a married woman. Although they advised him countless times, Xu Zhimo went his own way.
Although the two were impatient, they were helpless and simply let their son do it.
1926, Lu Xiaoman and her husband broke off their engagement, and Xu Zhimo immediately married Lu Xiaoman.
Although Xu's parents are reluctant in every way, they are helpless.
In order to make Lu Xiaoman's married life more comfortable.
The two old people also built luxury villas and new houses for the couple to live in, and the degree of care can be imagined.
Lu Xiaoman is the lover of Xu Zhimo's own choice, and her natural coquetry also deeply attracts Xu Zhimo. Although their feelings were criticized by the world, they did not stop their determination to be together.
Their married life is inseparable.
Lu Xiaoman is a spoiled little sister. Naturally, there are some little sisters. Not only can she not undertake housework, but she also needs someone to serve her life.
Xu Zhimo is tolerant and responsive to his beloved.
But Xu's father and mother, who live with the newlyweds, can't tolerate the arrogance of the new wife.
Especially the thought of Zhang Youyi, once a virtuous housekeeper's daughter-in-law, made me feel even worse.
Although it is not explicitly stated, the expression and behavior have already shown dissatisfaction with the new wife.
Lu Xiaoman naturally knew her parents-in-law's attitude towards herself, and she had bad feelings in her heart.
As a son and husband caught in the middle, Xu Zhimo could not reconcile the contradictions between the two sides. Instead, he has to listen to complaints from both sides, and he is also very depressed.
In this way, with the accumulation of time, the contradiction between parents and daughter-in-law is getting deeper and deeper.
Finally, one day it broke out. Xu's parents can't stand their present life. A month after their son got married, two old people packed their bags and went to Zhang Youyi.
As soon as several people met, the two old people finally seemed to have a place to vent their stomachs and told Zhang Youyi about Lu Xiaoman's various outrageous behaviors in life.
In addition, they have an important thing to ask Zhang Youyi, that is, whether she is willing to remarry Xu Zhimo. As long as Zhang Youyi has this idea, they will try to divorce Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman.
When Zhang Youyi heard this, it was a taste in her heart, but one thing she can be sure of is that it is impossible to be with Xu Zhimo.
Understand the idea of young instrument, chui fook and Xu Mu don't know what to say at the moment.
After a month like this, things changed for the better.
It turns out that after Chui Fu and Xu Mu went to Zhang Youyi, Lu Xiaoman lost the control of her parents-in-law, so she became more unscrupulous, extravagant and comfortable. But Xu Zhimo saw that his parents chose to run away from home to find their ex-wife. Although she is unhappy, she can't talk to others.
Soon, the war came to the villa where they lived. They fled to Shanghai to escape the war.
Without the financial support of their parents, the money they carry with them is very limited.
Lu Xiaoman, on the other hand, still maintained the demeanor of a big lady, not only profligate, but also went on strike in the Shanghai ballroom every day, which made their lives even more embarrassing, and Xu Zhimo was even more miserable at this time.
In desperation, he wrote a letter to Zhang Youyi.
In fact, during his seven-year marriage with Zhang Youyi, Xu Zhimo never wrote a letter to her, expressing his thoughts or his recent situation, so this is the first time that Xu Zhimo has written to Zhang Youyi.
In the letter, he first expressed the warmth and excitement of his parents living with Zhang Youyi, and then mentioned his down-and-out life, feeling very depressed.
The implication is that parents are uncomfortable living with themselves.
When parents have difficulties, their first thought is to find Zhang Youyi to solve their problems. This trust is unmatched by Xu Zhimo, the son.
At this time, Xu Zhimo, who is in trouble, is even more depressed when he thinks about this, and their days are very tight. As a newlywed wife, Lu Xiaoman completely ignored the lives of two people, only focused on her own happiness, which made Xu Zhimo very painful.
To put it bluntly, Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman are both exquisite egoists in essence. Both of them only consider their own happiness and don't care about the harm caused to others.
Since this letter, Zhang Youyi has helped their lives from time to time.
Whenever two people have financial difficulties and can't turn the corner, Zhang Youyi is very generous, and in order to take care of Xu Zhimo's face, Zhang Youyi sends money in the name of Xu Fu every time.
Even after Xu Zhimo's death and before Lu Xiaoman and Weng lived together at the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhang Youyi had been subsidizing Lu Xiaoman's life. It was not until Weng Dragon Boat Festival once personally found Zhang Youyi to express his gratitude and made it clear that there was no need to remit money to Lu Xiaoman that Zhang Youyi's assistance stopped.
Xu Zhimo has always regarded Zhang Youyi as his burden and a stumbling block to his pursuit of true love. He has never loved this woman who has been paying for him.
However, Zhang Youyi is always helping him silently and at critical moments, whether during the marriage or after its termination.
Zhang Youyi and Xu Zhimo did not feel depressed and sad after their divorce. Instead, she found her own way and lived a wonderful life.
With the help of friends, she went to Germany to study early childhood education. After returning to China, she taught German at Soochow University. A few years later, with the help of her brother, she became the vice president of Shanghai Women's Commercial Bank and raised funds to start a clothing company.
After leaving Xu Zhimo, her life has become more colorful and full. In the face of the change of his ex-wife, Xu Zhimo finally put aside his prejudices and praised Zhang Youyi.
We can't deny Xu Zhimo's talent as a generation of poets, but we can't forget his disloyalty to feelings and his debt to Zhang Youyi in life.
But it was Xu Zhimo's relentless divorce from Zhang Youyi that forced her to grow into an independent and self-reliant woman.
