Chapter 99: Stories Outside the Drama

Xu Ming is a fan of drama, so he naturally has his own understanding of the plot of local dramas.

Thinking of the content of this traditional play, he couldn't help but joke: "In fact, the common routines in folk drama love stories are generally caused by family changes, or the son is in trouble, or the young lady is begging for food." As a result, there is a similar storyline: one party was kindly rescued by the other party, and since then they have fallen in love with each other, and then, the rescued person is either promoted or rich or the family is revitalized, and repays the favor to the other party, so finally good is rewarded, evil is rewarded, and all end happily. ”

However, this story is a bit ingenious, writing about an extramarital affair that can be said to be symbiotic and coexisting with the human marriage and family system. For extramarital affairs, who is right and wrong, naturally there are different opinions, and there is no consensus, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable. This may also be the reason why the play has endured. Xu Ming is still familiar with the content of this play, and he can't help but feel a little emotional.

Xu Ming felt that what the master said was very thorough, and Dongfang Siyi said: "Extramarital affair is a hurdle that marriage can't get around." If there is no marriage as an evaluation criterion, the love between men and women belongs to human nature, and with marriage as an evaluation criterion, the love between men and women belongs to humanity. At all times, the law and morality that maintain social and family order will stand within marriage. Therefore, the love between a man and a woman outside of marriage must be judged by law and morality. Unless the basis of marriage is illegal or unreasonable, then it is treated differently than law and morality. ”

Zhong Qin didn't expect Xu Ming to be like this when he talked about drama, she thought of the off-play feelings of Qin Yufen, the actor of "Little Resignation Shop": "I heard that Qin Yufen sued for divorce in the court, do you still have an impression of this case?" Qin Yufen's divorce was rumored locally. Some people say that it is Qin Yufen's watery Yang Hua, just like the Liu Fengying she played, and some people say that her husband had an affair, not Qin Yufen's fault, on the contrary, Qin Yufen is a woman who values love and righteousness. ”

Xu Ming remembered the divorce between Qin Yufen and her former husband Chen Daohai, which was the case the year before last: "I know this case, it is indeed not Qin Yufen's fault. There are indeed some plots in the legend. ”

In Xu Ming's impression, although Qin Yufen is forty years away, she is still a dignified and beautiful woman, and as soon as she speaks, you will be attracted by her soft and gentle voice. Even after being away from the stage for many years, I can still feel her inner temperament as a theater actor.

Chen Daohai also looks dignified, but the difference is that his kind of confidence is overflowing, not naturally felt. In the conversation with Chen Daohai, it seems that he is still nostalgic for the years of the troupe: "You don't know, although I am just a drummer, I used to be the pillar of the troupe. Because, I am good at playing, playing and singing everything. Although I am not the protagonist of any act, if the troupe is without me, they will not be able to play and will collapse. It's not me boasting about myself, that's what it is. ”

In the courtroom, Qin Yufen said with some sadness: "What makes me sad is that although I met him in times of trouble, I broke up when business was booming. This is probably what people say: husband and wife can share weal and woe, but not prosperity. I never expected him to be such a ruthless person and a person without virtue. I only blame myself for being unladylike. ”

Chen Daohai was silent for a long time and finally muttered in response: "I don't want to be like this either, there will always be accidents in life." We are all human beings, not gods, and we are not real drama characters. Since they are human, they will have seven emotions and six desires. You don't want to be too high-minded, why are you so involved in acting in the play and acting so forgetful, isn't it because you have something in mind? Don't just talk about other people's faults, but also think about other people's good. ”

Eight years ago, the troupe faced an unprecedented crisis. Affected by various factors in the market, the dismal operation was unsustainable, and finally even wages could not be paid on time.

Qin Yufen and Chen Daohai began to marry Qin and Jin, and seeing that the troupe could no longer sustain, the two of them decided to go out to make a living after discussion. She sang a small song, he played the huqin, and sang the song "Little Resignation Shop", which made many people cry when they saw it. It is said that the couple is a natural couple, and a pair set up on the ground is inseparable like mandarin ducks.

The ups and downs of the story on stage are fascinating, and the story in life is also full of drama. Tired of their wandering life, they used the savings of a few years to open a hotel. Relying on their reputation and craftsmanship, the hotel soon became full of customers, and the business became more and more prosperous, and the couple was too busy, so they recruited five or six waiters one after another.

Nineteen-year-old local girl Hua'er was favored by them, and the couple saw that Hua'er was docile and beautiful, so they asked her to be a waitress at the front desk and in charge of cashier, and Hua'er was also happy to be the front desk.

Hua'er did not disappoint the couple, although she is not very old, she is very experienced. Treating people and picking up customers will always be busy, the service is considerate, and the voice is sweet, when the mouth is spoken, the guests will be self-absorbed first, and when they close their mouths, they have a style that is difficult to suppress. The couple was pleasantly surprised to find that since the hotel had flowers as the front desk and cashier, business had become more prosperous than before.

After closing every day, after settling the day's accounts, Qin Yufen and her husband Chen Daohai were already sleepy. The time of soft whispering in the past has disappeared unconsciously, and their entrepreneurial time has finally turned into a sum of money, into a debate about how to make money and how to spend it.

Qin Yufen is no longer the beautiful young woman in the troupe who walks gently and skillfully, and speaks softly and gently, but has become a proprietress with a rough voice. She can't help but because she has to get up early every day to buy all kinds of fresh ingredients. To save money, she haggles with vendors; For the sake of the taste of the dish, she has to discuss the cooking with the chef; In order to attract customers, she has to teach the waiters about various aspects of hospitality.

Chen Daohai is no longer the passionate and suave drummer, but has become a shrewd boss full of desire. In order to keep the business, he sometimes has to go on the field in person and toast with a big glass; In order to cope with the inspection requirements of various departments, he had to come forward to discuss with staff from all walks of life to try to create a better living space for the hotel.

They seem to have found common ground in their lives when it comes to running a hotel, and they seem to be busy with their own affairs wholeheartedly, and the couple will discuss the expansion and development of the hotel from time to time.

However, due to the difference in personality and concept, there are still some estrangements. In addition to joint management, they also have their own calculations. With money, Qin Yufen is no longer as harsh on herself as she used to be. She bought one gold ring after another, one gold necklace after another, and a pair of gold earrings for herself, and expensive jewelry became her pursuit and satisfaction.

What about Chen Daohai, who is proficient in playing, playing and singing? Counting the money coming in every day, looking at the full money bag, after he was full of wine and food, his eyes remained more and more on Hua'er's body, and Hua'er's big eyes also met the boss's greedy gaze from time to time. Hua'er has been a nanny in a northern city for two years, and she has long bid farewell to the simplicity and simplicity of a country girl.

Every month, Qin Yufen goes to the farm run by a friend in the countryside to buy ingredients, and her friend always keeps her staying at the farm for one night, chatting, or playing cards.

One day in late spring, Qin Yufen went out to the countryside as an exception, and in the evening, seeing off the last customer, Chen Daohai was finally like a hungry wolf, and the sheep was also so docile. After the clouds and rain in Wushan, he took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills, and the flowers pushed them away without looking at them, and he hugged them into his arms again.

In the end, the paper couldn't contain the fire, and Qin Yufen finally discovered Chen Daohai's abnormal interaction with Hua'er, but she neither quarreled with Chen Daohai, nor did she go to settle accounts with Hua'er. Instead, she held back the anger in her heart and quietly transferred her own property, she has her own calculations, she doesn't want to be like Liu Fengying, the proprietress in "Little Resignation Shop", and finally become a miserable woman with nothing.

Greed always has a price, and Hua'er finally had a showdown with Chen Daohai and told him: "I'm already pregnant, and you have a child." You're the boss, you need this child, you can't live without the child, otherwise, what's the use of you earning so much money? I'm thinking about you. Besides, you should also be responsible for me, and you can't think about my body and the child in my womb, and you are not willing to bear any responsibility. You should have thought about it when you wanted me, didn't you? Because you're not a hairy boy with no sense of responsibility, you're the boss and you're a man. What do you say? ”

Of course, Chen Daohai knew the consequences of this incident, he didn't think about Hua'er's possible pregnancy, and he did want a child. I don't know why, he and Qin Yufen have been married for many years, but she has not been pregnant. When Hua'er told him that he had a child, he was indeed a little surprised, but he was pleasantly surprised but calmed down.

Chen Daohai didn't want to divorce Qin Yufen, because he already had an idea in his heart, Chen Daohai persuaded Hua'er: "You're right, I need this child, I want a child in my dreams." However, not now, if I get divorced now, I will be the one who is at fault. Qin Yufen will not forgive people, if she refuses to let me go, I will not be able to divorce, and I will suffer a big loss in the division of property. You'd better get rid of this kid for now. I'm definitely responsible for you, I'm certainly a man, and you can rest assured. ”

Hua'er saw through Chen Daohai's thoughts, she didn't have time to play with him, but directly put forward her own request, she threatened Chen Daohai and said: "I don't want to hear so many reasons from you, you can find more reasons, it's useless for me." I have only one request, take me as a wife, and you must marry me. There is only one way, and don't think about anything else. If you don't agree, I'll die for you, and I'll die in your hotel, and there are ways to do it. Don't be lucky, before I die, I will make your affairs known to the whole world, don't bully me when I'm young and ignorant, I know everything, I'm not afraid of anything, what I said must be done. ”

Chen Daohai never thought that Hua'er, who usually seemed gentle and obedient, would be so decisive at a critical time, and he didn't take what he said seriously at all. He despised the young girl too much, thinking that she would not pester herself, and that as long as she had money, she would agree to her request. Unexpectedly, she had her own idea, and she didn't let him find any excuses and reasons to refuse.

Chen Daohai finally tasted involuntarily, and he had to face this problem. What could he do? The peaceful life on the surface between him and Qin Yufen was finally about to be broken, and the inevitable quarrel broke out. Chen Daohai couldn't pretend anymore, and he had to have a showdown with Qin Yufen.

After ten years of marriage, for the first time, they discovered that each other had so many shortcomings. The business was no longer willing to do it, and the customers were getting thinner and smaller, and they finally closed the door. Either they get entangled and make a boat sink and die, or they separate and drive their own boats, each rowing their own oars. They chose the latter, and he and she both knew very well that they were no longer a pair of mandarin ducks who could play in the water together, and breaking up was the only option.

After Qin Yufen signed the divorce judgment, she said with emotion: "I used to lack money, and I felt that the most important thing in life was money. I have money, but I lose what I want. I never thought he would cheat, and I can't remember how many scenes I played in "Little Resignation Shop", who was tortured by extramarital affairs. In the play, I am a third person who is praised and sympathized with and pitied. Outside of the play, I became the one who was defeated by a third party. Is this a form of retribution? Is it a kind of reincarnation? ”

Qin Yufen, who woke up from the tragedy of marriage, had a painful pain in marriage and extramarital affairs. She gave up her plans to open another hotel on her own, and was ready to return to the stage wholeheartedly. It turned out that after the director of the troupe heard about it, he took the initiative to get in touch with her, and she regained her confidence. After meeting with the director, Qin Yufen put forward her own idea, she should continue to return to the troupe, return to the drama life, and replay her role with her heart.

Xu Ming remembered that in this divorce case, the reflection and choice of both parties on their own lives reflected the existence of a certain value, which was because of the existence of a certain atmosphere, and the atmosphere on which it depended disappeared, and that value was dimmed. Love also needs the atmosphere that it can sustenance and exist, and once it loses that sustenance, the beauty and happiness of love will also disappear.

Real life is the best director of drama, how will Qin Yufen repeat her "Little Resignation Shop"? "Let's watch Qin Yufen's "Little Resignation Shop" together to see how she re-understands and interprets the Liu Fengying in the play." Xu Ming looked at the carenson and said, "From now on, I have to learn to be a drama fan." ”
