The rivers and lakes are impermanent, and so is the Water Margin. People were resentful because of Lin Chong's humiliation of Guan Sheng, and they were indignant because the times were not taken seriously. However, they often ignore the most angry one of them - Hu Sanniang!She endured three major humiliations, but the world only paid attention to two of them: why did a beautiful woman marry Wang Ying?Why was the family slaughtered and still served in Liangshan?
And do people realize that in fact, the biggest injustice is that they can defeat Hu Yanzhuo and capture two Liangshan heroes, but they can't be among the Tiangang?The answer may be simple, the so-called "husband sings and women follow", even if Wang Ying can't enter Tiangang, Hu Sanniang can only follow him. What kind of grievances did she have when she married Wang Ying?The whole family was killed, but they are still loyal to Liangshan, what is the deep reason?
How does this relate to her record of defeating Hu Yanzhuo?It seems like a cycle of thinking. However, it is not difficult to refute it. Mu Guiying is in charge, why can't Hu Sanniang enter Tiangang?She was considered a righteous sister by Song Jiang, but she was deprived of her status as an investor in Liangshan, why?Of course, the deeper reason is Li Kui!
In the 36 Tiangang in the Water Margin, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, and Yang Xiong are actually the only three people. And in the 72 Earth Evils, those who were suppressed were Zhu Wu, Sun Li, Hu Sanniang, and Shi Qian. Among them, Hu Sanniang can be called the most wronged, because her strength and record are significantly higher than Yang Xiong, Xie Zhen, and Xie Bao. However, she is regarded as a Liangshan investor, with the same status as Chai Jin, Li Ying, and Mu Hong.
All this is related to Li Kui's competition for favor. Why did Li Kui "cut his hands"?Because Hu Sanniang is considered to be the wife of Liangshan Zhai and compete with him for favor. Therefore, Li Kui resolutely killed Hu Sanniang's family, triggering a series of chain reactions. And Song Jiang seized her family property by recognizing Hu Sanniang as her righteous sister and married Wang Ying.
This is not to protect Hu Sanniang, but more to appease Li Kui and maintain his image. Hu Sanniang became the saddest man in the Water Margin, not only because of the ruin of his family and unhappy marriage, but also because of his outstanding achievements but he had no chance to enter Tiangang.
