Meng Yi'an is the youngest daughter of the Meng family, and she is also Meng Xianrong's most favored and proud daughter.
After the death of Meng's father, every year on the death day, the daughter and son-in-law of the Meng family had to go to the tomb, but Meng Yi'an was the only one who excused himself for various reasons, and for more than ten years, Meng Yi'an never went to the grave once.
Meng Wanqing was very angry and accused Meng Yi'an of having no conscience and not being filial, whenever this happened, Qiao Haiyun would always make excuses for Meng Yi'an, claiming that Meng Yi'an was busy with work and couldn't leave, so that Meng Wanqing understood more.
At first, I thought that the reason why Meng Yi'an didn't come back to sweep the tomb was because Meng's father died that year and had a misunderstanding with his mother Qiao Haiyun.
It wasn't until Meng Xianrong's "ugly thing" was revealed that I understood why Meng Yi'an didn't go to the grave for 10 years.
01, Meng Chenliang came to recognize his relatives
The arrival of several uninvited guests broke the original harmony and peace of the Meng family, and also exposed Meng Xianrong's hypocrisy in marriage.
In the original work, Meng Chenliang, the son of Meng Xianrong and his wife Liu Shuyan, suddenly brought his son and grandson to the door to confess his relatives more than ten years after Meng Xianrong's death.
But they didn't really do this to recognize their relatives, but had other plans.
After learning of Meng Chenliang's identity, Meng Wanqing and Meng Mingwei were so frightened that their faces changed, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time, and even Qiao Haiyun, who had always been vigorous and resolute, was so nervous that his hands trembled. Only Meng Yi'an was not shocked at all, nor was he surprised at all.
Growing up, she had never seen her mother so nervous. When she managed those thorny workers, when she single-handedly went to the dealers who owed her money to ask for debts, and even when she signed her father's consent to surgery, her mother was never nervous, but now, the old lady was visibly nervous, her eyelids jumped, and although she didn't speak, her breath rolled over her wrinkled neck, like a burn, and she shrank slightly. ”
Meng Chenliang carefully took out a black and white ** from his arms, which was a small photo of Meng Xianrong when he was young, ** was very old and blurry, and the damage was very serious, but Qiao Haiyun recognized the familiar face on ** at a glance.
Meng Chenliang cried while telling Meng Xianrong's decision to abandon his wife and children, and how difficult his mother has been over the years, trying to make Qiao Haiyun feel guilty, so as to get more benefits logically.
There is a reason why Meng Chenliang will come to the door to recognize his relatives at this time.
Meng Xianrong's wife, Liu Shuyan, had already learned that Meng Xianrong had re-married and was living a good life.
But Liu Shuyan never looked for Meng Xianrong, and never revealed any news about Meng Xianrong to her son Meng Chenliang, until she was dying, she didn't tell the truth, and her only last wish was to be buried with Meng Xianrong.
Therefore, when Liu Shuyan died, Meng Chenliang came to the door to confess his relatives on his own initiative, firstly, to move the grave and fulfill Liu Shuyan's last wish, and secondly, to divide the family property, and asked for 5 million as soon as he opened his mouth.
You are also a sensible person, my father has lost my mother, and I have lived with your old man for a lifetime, but we can't deny that we are all members of the Meng family! ”
02, the truth of Meng Xianrong as a "good person".
In the original book of the TV series "Fireworks People", it is written:
Meng Xianrong is decent, although his clothes are old, they can't be dirty, and although his life is poor, he can't be sloppy. Qiao Haiyun is a pragmatist, and if she had a dime, she might choose to fill her stomach first, but Meng Xianrong might choose to buy half a bar of soap and go to a public bathhouse to take a shower. ”
Qiao Haiyun would never have thought that Meng Xianrong, who had been decent all his life, would have such an unbearable side.
In Qiao Haiyun's eyes, Meng Xianrong is her husband and her teacher, without Meng Xianrong, there would be no Director Qiao.
In the eyes of the three sisters of the Meng family, Meng Xianrong is an affectionate and good husband and a good father with a sense of responsibility.
In the eyes of outsiders, Meng Xianrong is a good person, a "living bodhisattva" who fell from the sky.
However, what Meng Xianrong did was just to cover up the guilt in his heart.
It is mentioned in the original book:
Mr. Meng has done countless good deeds, and many people have been helped by him to get through the difficulties, bringing their families to the door to send pennants, and bowing their thanks. So more people came to him, there were really life-saving things, and there were not so urgent things, and Mr. Meng could help them. ”
Meng Xianrong has been charitable all his life, but the irony is that the family's money is earned by Qiao Haiyun's hard work. In addition to fiddling with poems and writing every day, laughing and playing with children, Meng Xianrong has never taken a penny from home.
Meng Xianrong enjoyed the glory and aura of being a "good man" with peace of mind, but he never said that he was married and had a son in front of Qiao Haiyun.
But in fact, deep in Meng Xianrong's heart, he has always had a deep debt to the home he abandoned.
Therefore, Meng Xianrong will spare no effort to help those in need, in order to make up for the uneasiness of conscience.
In the past, the three sisters of the Meng family only felt that her father was kind-hearted and noble, and had the demeanor of everyone, but her mother had to break all the money, which made her look very philistine, with a small belly and chicken intestines.
But in fact, Meng Xianrong squandered all of Qiao Haiyun's hard-earned money.
When he learned that Meng Xianrong still had a home outside, when Meng Chenliang came to the door, Qiao Haiyun figured out everything he could or couldn't figure out.
He is a person who has been doing what he thinks is good all his life, I originally thought he was just kind-hearted, but now that I think about it, it is also to atone for the mistakes he made back then. ”
03, why Meng Yi'an didn't go to the grave for 10 years
In the eyes of the three sisters of the Meng family, their mother Qiao Haiyun and their father Meng Xianrong have been in love all their lives and are a model couple in marriage.
Therefore, when the three sisters of the Meng family got married, they found out that their marriage was unbearable, and they still chose to forbear, pretending to be affectionate in front of Qiao Haiyun.
Meng Mingwei has been coldly and violently violent by Li Chengzhi for 30 years, and his married life is miserable, but Meng Mingwei is deeply affected by his parents' marriage and has never thought about divorce.
In the original work, Meng Mingwei has such a monologue:
In her parents, she had seen the near-perfect love and fidelity in marriage, so she naively believed that such a marriage really existed in this world. ”
Meng Wanqing married Tao Dalei despite Qiao Haiyun's opposition, her fantasy married life was broken, she swallowed her grievances alone, slept in separate beds with Tao Dalei, and dragged on without divorcing, not so much to give her daughter Tao Shuna a complete home, but not to admit that she chose the wrong person in front of Qiao Haiyun.
Then there is Meng Yi'an, it is not difficult to find from the play that Meng Yi'an's most common sentence is: "I don't need marriage".
Even, when he fell in love with Qiu Xia, Meng Yi'an and Qiu Xia agreed that they would only fall in love and not get married, if it wasn't for an unexpected pregnancy, Meng Yi'an might not enter the marriage hall for the rest of his life.
This is why Meng Yi'an and Qiu Xia divorced so neatly, and they didn't even make trouble in front of their families, and the divorce was discovered by Li Yijin and Tao Shuna by accident for more than two years.
In Meng Yi'an's subconscious, marriage is unreliable and untrustworthy.
Meng Yi'an has always felt that his parents are loving, but it wasn't until Meng Xianrong's death that Meng Yi'an realized that all this was just an illusion.
Meng Xianrong suffered from Alzheimer's disease in his later years, and no one in his family knew him, and every time Qiao Haiyun fed him medicine, he was beaten and scolded.
Once, when Meng Mingwei and Meng Wanqing asked Meng Xianrong if he still knew him, Meng Xianrong said impatiently:
Who sent you? Who wants to kill me? If you want to kill me, just say it, I've lived for most of my life, the conscience of heaven and earth, I haven't done anything wrong, I'm not afraid! ......
Meng Xianrong has always emphasized that he has not done anything wrong, but he doesn't know that the secret that has always been hidden in his heart has been tormenting him even if he forgets all the people and things.
Before Meng Xianrong died, he kept shouting "Yi'an" in his mouth, and everyone thought that Meng Xianrong wanted to see Meng Yi'an.
At that time, Meng Yi'an was teaching abroad, so he took a plane for more than ten hours overnight to rush to the hospital and saw Meng Xianrong for the last time.
In Meng Wanqing's view, Meng Xianrong favored Meng Yi'an, and he couldn't rest assured before he died.
So over the years, Meng Yi'an has not visited Meng Xianrong once, and Meng Wanqing has always been obsessed.
But in fact, Meng Xianrong did not call "Yi'an", but "Yan'er".
Meng Chenliang's mother is called Liu Shuyan. What Meng Xianrong thought about before dying was not the Qiao Haiyun who made him worry about food and clothing and accompanied him for most of his life, but the wife Liu Shuyan who was abandoned by him.
Meng Xianrong said that he had not done anything wrong, but his last words betrayed his heart.
Meng Yi'an said: I am close, I can hear clearly, so I have always felt very strange, and our family does not know a person named Yan. Later, when I thought about it, I didn't want to make a messy guess, but I couldn't mention it to the old lady. After asking Meng Chenliang that day, I suddenly thought that it would be that Yan. ”
"I've never been afraid to go to my father's grave. I'm afraid I'll want to ask him if he's a loss to our mother. ”
In Meng Xianrong's life, he not only felt sorry for his wife Liu Shuyan, but also failed Qiao Haiyun, who had been with him all his life.
