Xu Shizhe has never come back since he hit the wall, so he should be annoyed and angry.

Shen Mengxi read from the newspaper that after Lin Huiya and Liang Chengru got married in Canada, they returned to China and went to Northeast China, where both husband and wife taught at Northeastern University and founded China's first architecture department.

Liang Chengru used to be a popular figure at Tsinghua University, with piano, violin, art, football, and high jump, and he was handsome and had a good family background. When Lin Huiya returned to China from Europe with her father, she and Liang Chengru established a relationship, and both parents were happy to see it.

During this period, Xu Shizhe worked with Lin Huiya as a translator for the great poet Rabindranath Tagore, and at that time he had already met Lu Xiaomei through Wang Shouqing.

Not long after, when Liang Chengru rode a motorcycle to participate in the commemoration of the "National Shame Day", the Harley-Davidson motorcycle was hit by a car and fell into a roadside ditch, crushing his left leg.

Liang Chengru fractured his left leg and injured his spine. Limited to medical conditions, Liang Chengru underwent three surgeries, but still did not connect the leg bones, the left leg was one centimeter shorter than the right leg, he walked with a slight limp, and his spine was seriously damaged. Shen Mengxi secretly guessed that if traditional Chinese medicine or a combination of Chinese and Western methods were adopted, then one centimeter might be avoided.

During the hospitalization, Lin Huiya has been taking care of the bedside without hesitation, although Liang's mother does not like Lin Huiya and does not know how to avoid, but it cannot prevent the development of the relationship between the two, Liang Chengru recovered from the injury, the two went to the United States to study architecture.

Lin Changkong's assassination in 1925 hit Lin Huiya hard, she lost her relatives, lost her most powerful support, and had to accept the Liang family's financial support to complete her studies.

Lin Huiya's return, I don't know how Xu Shizhe feels, and I haven't seen him publish any related poems, but I have heard that he is very close to another talented woman named Ling Su, and it seems that they had frequent correspondence in their early years. When Xu Shizhe and Lu Xiaomei were in love, because they were going to Europe, they also deposited a "eight treasure chest" containing letters to Ling Su, which shows that the relationship is extraordinary. This Eight Treasure Chest later caused a lot of turmoil, and Shen Mengxi thought to himself that if he put the Eight Treasure Chest to Zhang Jiayu, he would definitely give up his life to protect it.

How talented is this poetic nerd, and several talented women in the Republic of China have taken a fancy to him!

But Shen Mengxi hates such an ambiguous polyamorous relationship the most. It is also in vain to have talent but no virtue.

******

On Sunday, as soon as Shen Mengxi arrived in Yunshang, Weng Ruiwen's wife came, chose a set of fashion and a bra, and sat down to talk to Shen Mengxi without hurrying to leave.

Mrs. Weng looked delicate and had a gentle voice, but the sorrow between her eyebrows lingered, and she went back and forth a few times before she said that Xu Shizhe had borrowed a lot of money from their family, which Weng Ruiwen did without her, and she wanted to use the money to find out again recently. Weng Ruiwen didn't allow her to ask for it, so she had to go to Shen Mengxi to inquire about the current situation of the Xu family, and why the son of the richest man in Kipshi didn't pay back the money!

Shen Mengxi understands the Shanghainese people's view of money very well, and he understands clearly that it is one thing to give you away, and it is necessary to repay the money you borrow. Shen Mengxi embarrassed Ah Huan and served Mrs. Weng a cup of coffee, "Mrs. Weng, I have been divorced for more than seven years, and I really can't answer this question." ”

Mrs. Weng didn't come to ask for an answer, but she had nowhere to vent her depression.

"Ruiwen will always come to Xu's house in the near future to see a doctor for Mrs. Xu, I heard that she is extremely weak and seems to be unable to give birth." After speaking, he glanced at Shen Mengxi meaningfully, Shen Mengxi was puzzled, blinked, and had to laugh too.

It turns out that Weng Ruiwen has excellent medical skills, especially massage, he has practiced internal qigong since he was a child, and he splits a stack of green bricks with one palm, and you can break whatever piece you want, without any mistakes. He applied qigong to massage, and for some muscle and bone injuries, he was able to get rid of diseases. Plain and benevolent, he often used medicine, so since the age of eighteen, his name has been known to women and children in Shanghai, and he is well known. It's just that Shen Mengxi doesn't care about these, and he still doesn't know that others are famous when he sees me.

Xu Shizhe was introduced by a friend and invited Weng Ruiwen to come out of the mountain and come to his home to massage Lu Xiaomei. When Lu Xiaomei had a stomach attack, he often lost his temper, threw things, and beat and scolded the maids. Since then, Xu Shizhe has relied on him very much, and often asked him to come over to massage Lu Xiaomei.

Lu Weng and both of them love Chinese painting and opera. Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera can be talked about and often discussed, and Xu Shizhe occasionally has fun and cooperates on stage to perform.

Xu Shizhe completely forgot his own experience in the upper position, and also learned Wang Shouqing's methods, and often went to Peking to give lectures, so he invited Weng Ruiwen to accompany Lu Xiaomei at home. There was gossip, and Weng Ruiwen said: "It was Shizhe who invited me!" ”

Mrs. Weng was sad, she did not believe in pure friendship between men and women, and she knew her husband, who had always admired talented women. She is almost thirty years old, her eldest daughter is nine years old, and there are three more behind, she is worried that one day, she will also end up in a divorce, what will happen to the four children at that time!

Shen Mengxi was speechless when she confided in her, they were not familiar enough to give advice, and she didn't want to wade into this troubled water.

After Mrs. Weng poured out her troubles, she seemed to feel a little more relieved and left with the paper bag.

Caught off guard, Zhang's mother died suddenly.

Receiving Zhang Jiaxuan's call, Shen Mengxi was a little confused, she subconsciously thought that her family members were going to live to be seventy or eighty years old.

Zhang's mother was just over 60 years old, and after taking care of her family affairs that day, she suddenly fell at the door, and the maid hurriedly helped her into the room.

All the children and grandchildren of the Zhang family returned to Baoshan to mourn, and the whole family fell into mourning. Zhang's father didn't say a word from the moment Zhang's mother died, he just sat in his room, not allowed others to disturb him, and used very little food.

Zhang Jiaheng was very sad, he had all his medical skills, but he couldn't save his mother, he knelt on the ground and cried in pain, grabbed the ground with his head, and saw blood on his forehead, Shen Mengxi grabbed him, "Third brother, don't do this." ”

"Fuck off! Mother has been worried about you for the past two years, and she can't sleep peacefully every night before she has a heart attack! Zhang Jiaheng suddenly became embarrassed and vigorously brushed away Shen Mengxi's hand.

Shen Mengxi was defenseless and fell to the ground, she was stunned, she didn't expect to receive such a condemnation, and everyone in the Zhang family stopped crying and looked at them at a loss.

Ah Huan pounced on him, waving his arms and hitting Zhang Jiaheng, "Don't hit my mother!" Don't hit my mother! ”

When Zhang Jiaheng heard the word mother, she cried again. Ah Huan froze, he beat the third uncle to tears.

Shen Mengxi brushed off the sand grains on his palm, took medicine from his leather bag and wiped it, "I don't carry this pot!" ”

She fell to the ground, no one came to help her, and no one spoke except Ah Huan. It seems that everyone also thinks that she is the culprit.

Shen Mengxi pulled Ah Huan over, and when he saw Father Zhang walking out of the room, he simply said loudly: "First of all, I didn't make my mother angry. She didn't worry about me when I was alone abroad for five years, but she didn't start thinking about it until I returned to China and had a job and career? ”

"She's worried about your marriage...... the third sister-in-law said weakly.

"Heh, she's not worried about my marriage, she's worried that I will remarry and lose your face!"

"Jiayu! As a child, how can he say such unfilial words when his mother's bones are not cold! Zhang Jiashu stopped Shen Mengxi.

"The seventh sister has never been angry with her mother, she is not that kind of person! She did whatever her mother asked her to do, and when her mother asked her to marry, she would marry, and she didn't even graduate from middle school! The seventh sister has been divorced for eight years, her mother doesn't want her to remarry, and she doesn't even have a boyfriend! Since the opening of her factory, has everyone received less benefits? Zhang Jiarui was so angry that she shouted with tears in her eyes.

The crowd was dumbfounded.

The death of his mother, including Shen Mengxi, everyone was very sad in their hearts, and they all felt that they had some responsibility for not taking care of them, but because it was a major event of life and death, it was irreparable, and they didn't have the courage to bear it, so they always wanted to find a legitimate reason and find a suitable person to take the blame.

Zhang Jiayu is the darling of the family, and it is not an exaggeration for her mother to worry about her, if she takes the blame, everyone will be relieved.

"In the past few years, my marriage and studies have really worried my parents and brothers. But now I'm doing well, and I'm asking myself if there's nothing that keeps my mother awake at night. And the third brother, you, you are a famous doctor, don't you usually monitor your mother's body? Don't you call her pulse regularly? The first reaction when something happened was to push it on my sister! After she fell to the ground, did you give up without a heartbeat and a pulse? If you do CPR in time, you can definitely save your mother's life! Shen Mengxi made a big move.

Zhang Jiaheng's eyes straightened suddenly, and he muttered: I didn't save my mother, I didn't save my mother......

"Okay, Jiayu, this is not the time to talk about responsibility." Zhang Jiaxuan grabbed Shen Mengxi.

"He was the one who put the blame on me first!"

"Enough!" Father Zhang stopped him, "I know your mother's body, I have always been the one who has been watching her pulse, she fell ill when she gave birth to Ayu, and it has been good all these years." ”

Shen Mengxi didn't believe this statement, she hadn't seen Zhang's mother take medicine, nor how weak she was, she saw Zhang's mother's pale face and cyanotic lips, which should be myocardial infarction. But Zhang Jiaxuan held her hand and warned her not to say more.

The funeral shed was erected, and people came to mourn one after another, and no one was entangled in this matter, and the funeral was carried out in an orderly manner under the management of the sister-in-law.

Xu Shizhe came from Shanghai the next day, knelt in the mourning hall and cried bitterly, Zhang Jiayu pulled him up and went out to rest. Shen Mengxi understood that he was the mother who came to mourn his friend, not his ex-mother-in-law. Father Zhang's eyes looked at Xu Shizhe, regret more than resentment, and also made Shen Mengxi speechless.

The Lin family also sent people to mourn early. Two cars were dispatched, and Ah Yuan came to Baoshan on behalf of Mrs. Lin and brought a message to Shen Mengxi, saying that Mrs. Lin advised her to mourn and change.
