Wang Xu has determined that Xu Fugui, commander of the 42nd Army, is Xu Jiazhen's man.
In the movie, Xu Fugui was just a shadow puppet singer who was captured by the Kuomintang and sent to the south. He lived in Changsha for a few years and then came back.
But here, the plot in the front remains the same, but it turns a corner in the back.
Xue Yue's niece, Xue Widow, traveled from Chongqing to Changsha and met Xu Fugui by chance.
Xu Fugui had no other abilities. He was born as a playboy, and he was good at eating, drinking, having fun and picking up women.
After listening to Xu Fugui's shadow puppet show for a few times and chatting, the two of them fell in love with each other and married a man who was not his wife.
In this way, Xu Fugui started as a second lieutenant and adjutant. One month later, he was promoted to company commander of the troops below him. He was promoted to battalion commander in three months and to regimental commander in five months. In the blink of an eye, in a few years, he became the lieutenant general of the 42nd Army.
Anti-Japanese heroes in the Battle of Changsha.
Now, Xu Fugui was ordered to station in Tianjin and became the highest military commander in Tianjin and a famous rising star of the Anti-Japanese War. Under such circumstances, Xu Fugui still did not come to Xu Jiazhen, which means that he will not come back again, just like in the play
It's the same as the guileless case sung in the movie, and it's another man who abandons his wife for the sake of wealth.
"How do you know that my rich family will not come back?" Xu Jiazhen's eyes were slightly red, with doubt in her eyes.
Wang Xu asked instead, "Do you usually read newspapers?"
Xu Jiazhen shook her head. A few cents for a newspaper was worth as much as a pound of pork.
Ordinary people, not officials, families or wealthy businessmen, who would spend this unjust money, would not be taken advantage of.
"You can buy a copy of tomorrow's newspaper and read it."
The 42nd Army entered the city today. Such a big thing will definitely be publicized in the newspapers.
As the commander of the 42nd Army and the highest military officer in Tianjin, Xu Fugui will 100% appear in the newspapers. Xu Jiazhen will understand at a glance.
"Can you find my family's wealth in the newspaper?" Xu Jiazhen didn't believe it at first, then looked directly at Wang Xu and said, "Do you know the whereabouts of wealth?"
"I know. You can find out if you buy a newspaper tomorrow. I hope you are mentally prepared." Wang Xu spoke vaguely, with regret in his eyes.
Xu Jiazhen cried with joy, grabbed Wang Xu's hand, and begged: "I have been waiting for him for seven years. Qiuxia is eight years old. Do you still want me to wait for tomorrow?"
"I..." Wang Xu didn't want to hide it, but he was afraid that Qiuxia wouldn't be able to bear it.
Xu Jiazhen has been waiting for so many years, and it is the belief that Xu Fugui will come back that supports her.
It was hard for Wang Xu to imagine whether Xu Jiazhen, a strong and stubborn woman, could bear the news that her man had married and had children and would never come back again.
"Tell me, please." Xu Jiazhen saw Wang Xu hesitate and was about to kneel on the ground.
Wang Xu supported her and sighed: "Have you heard of Lieutenant General Xu Fugui of the 42nd Army that entered the city today?"
Xu Jiazhen nodded slightly, unable to think of any relationship between this person and her own man.
In her mind, Xu Fugui was just a dandy who sang shadow puppets. He was good at eating, drinking, and gambling. He was incompatible with famous anti-Japanese generals.
Although she had heard of Xu Fugui, she had never thought about it because it was too unrealistic.
"That's him." Wang Xu nodded slightly and whispered: "He is Xu Fugui, the shadow puppet singer, Xu Fugui from Tianjin."
Xu Jiazhen opened her mouth slightly, as if she was stuttering, and said intermittently: "No, it's impossible!"
"It's him, I've confirmed it." As soon as Wang Xu said these words, Xu Jiazhen backed away, but her previous joy was gone.
This Xu Fugui is her man Xu Fugui. The two of them are actually the same person.
Xu Jiazhen felt her head was a little confused. She held on to the cabinet to prevent herself from falling, and said blankly: "But I heard someone said that General Xu is married."
There was panic in his tone, as if he was asking himself or Wang Xu again.
Wang Xu nodded slightly and said: "Yes, I am marrying General Xue Yue's niece. Otherwise, no matter how talented he is, he would not be able to be promoted to lieutenant general in a few years."
"Then, why didn't he come to me?" Xu Jiazhen's eyes were blank, and she was in a trance.
Wang Xu said nothing, because no matter what he said, it would just rub salt on Xu Jiazhen's wounds.
"Wealthy!" Xu Jiazhen sighed and fell down with her eyes closed.
Wang Xu rushed forward like lightning and held Xu Jiazhen in his arms. Only when he saw it did he realize that Xu Jiazhen had fainted out of great sadness and joy.
"Mom, mom?" Seeing Xu Jiazhen fall, Qiuxia also noticed something was wrong and cried, "What did you do to my mother?"
"Your mother is fine, just take a nap and she will be fine." Wang Xu consoled her, but unfortunately Qiuxia didn't believe it at all. She rushed up, waved her fists, and said loudly: "Bad guy, let go of my mother, you bad guy!"
When Wang Xu was upset, he couldn't think of coaxing the child, so he just clicked it out with one finger.
As soon as he pointed at Qiuxia's sleeping point, Qiuxia immediately softened and was caught in Wang Xu's hand.
One in each hand, holding Xu Jiazhen in his left hand and Qiuxia in his right hand, Wang Xu put the two of them on the bed.
Time passed by minute by second, and at night, Xu Jiazhen woke up from her sleep.
Wang Xu walked forward and saw that Xu Jiazhen's eyes were unfocused, as if she had lost her soul, and she didn't even blink.
"Are you feeling better? You fainted before." After hearing Wang Xu's words, Xu Jiazhen touched the buttons of her clothes and closed her eyes when she found that the buttons were fastened.
Seeing Xu Jiazhen's reaction, Wang Xu sighed. Xu Jiazhen still didn't trust him.
"What are you going to do?" Wang Xu sat on the edge of the Kang and continued: "I will only stay for a few days when I come back this time. If I leave again, it's hard to say when I will come back."
Hearing Wang Xu's words, Xu Jiazhen's eyes moved, but in the end she said nothing.
The atmosphere fell into silence again, with only the faint sound of breathing.
Ten minutes later, Xu Jiazhen slowly opened her eyes and said emotionlessly: "I want to find wealth, but I don't dare to go."
"What do you want me to say?" Wang Xu raised his head slightly and saw Xu Jiazhen struggling to get up, shaking his head and saying, "No need to say anything."
Xu Jiazhen left, hugging Qiuxia who was awakened by Wang Xu, and left without taking anything with her.
Wang Xu did not leave, but just sat in the room and smoked one cigarette after another.
An hour later, Xu Jiazhen came back with tears on her face and a confused Qiuxia in her arms.
Wang Xu did not ask for the answer, because Xu Fugui never showed up, and the answer was already known.
"If life is just like the first time we met, why should the autumn wind draw a fan with sadness?" Wang Xu stood up and walked towards the door, reading a poem that Xu Jiazhen didn't understand.
When he was approaching the door, Xu Jiazhen took his hand and whispered: "Stay here tonight."
Wang Xu paused slightly and whispered: "What's the point of me staying? Do you love me? No, you don't. You just feel owed. Forget it, I am not the same person I was back then, and Xu Fugui is no longer the same person."
This is Xu Fugui back then. You are the only one who has not changed. It’s time for you to live for yourself."
"Live for yourself?" Xu Jiazhen read this word, took Wang Xu's hand, and let go unconsciously.
"Have you never tried it?" Wang Xu turned around and asked.
Xu Jiazhen shook her head slightly, and heard Wang Xu's chuckle: "You can try it."
