Some people are staggeringly selfish. They are not even aware of how they behave when they are selfish, as if they are used to it. Only when one's own interests are threatened, will hidden fangs and sharp claws be revealed, ready to change positions at any time and even become hostile to you. Julie in "It's All Good" is a typical representative of this kind of person.
What kind of person is Julie? In the original book, she is described in four words: beautiful, intelligent, delicate, and decisive. In just a few words, she depicts a shrewd and capable working woman. Su Mingcheng's mother once analyzed Su Mingcheng: Zhu Li is a girl who is difficult to control, and she feels that her son will not be able to control her in the end.
When his son first gave Zhu Li a girlfriend, his mother warned him, saying that Zhu Li was a pampered girl who could not endure hardships and was not suitable to be a wife, and had to spoil her for the rest of her life. At that time, he insisted on Julie, and his mother did not say anything more. However, when Su Mingcheng fell into debt, he suddenly remembered his mother's words many years ago, and unconsciously worried about whether Julie would leave him.
Although Su Mingcheng feels that his relationship with Zhu Li is quite deep, he also understands that many things are ruined by the point of "I think". After experiencing Su Mingcheng's beating incident and investment failure, Zhu Li chose to leave in desperation, and broke off with Su Mingcheng, and had nothing to do with it. In the original book, Su Mingcheng thought that Zhu Li's departure was too ruthless, but he also felt that it was reasonable, but he didn't know that this was already her greatest limit of patience.
The failure of the investment was just an opportunity, in fact, she had already endured it. She didn't understand why, after Su's mother left, the affairs of the Su family were like a bottomless pit, pouring out all the things in those times that didn't belong to her at once. As a veteran writer, I understand your request and I will rewrite the following in my own language and structure while retaining the core meaning of the original text:
She originally naively thought that after paying off her debts with Su Mingcheng, her life would return to peace and she would be able to get rid of this series of troubles. However, the reality is so cruel, she gradually discovers that the secret of the Su family is even more unfathomable than she imagined.
At the beginning, Zhu Li and Su Mingcheng were immersed in happiness and did not notice anything strange at home. Looking back now, I realize that those clues have long foreshadowed the coming of the storm. When they are still in the sweetness of their newlyweds, the problems of the house have already buried hidden dangers. That house was bought at the expense of another person. Julie doesn't know anything about it, but her happiness is built on the pain of others.
In addition, Zhu Li and Su Mingcheng are unknowingly dependent on their parents. Su Mingcheng's direct gnawing of the old is eye-catching, while Zhu Li has invisibly become a member of the gnawing old clan. Her vanity drove Su Mingcheng to constantly ask his mother for money to meet her material needs.
However, when the facts lay in front of her, Julie fell silent. She tried to refute, but the words seemed weak. She decided to settle accounts with Su Mingcheng and pay off the debt owed to the Su family.
However, this is just the beginning. The secrets of the Su family are like the tip of an iceberg, and more disputes and troubles are still waiting for Zhu Li. The two began to quarrel fiercely again. 02.Benefit. In this world, everything comes at a price, and there is no such thing as a free lunch. Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li's marriage is actually a common pattern in daily life.
They each find a balance in their relationship, start a family naturally, and do not violate each other's bottom line. Adults follow the usual steps to fall in love, get married, buy a house, and start their own small family. Seniors quietly enjoy their retirement, going their separate ways, and everything is on track. In Julie's eyes, such a life seems flawless. However, she overlooks a crucial point: their flawless lives are built on the misfortunes of another person. With the death of Su's mother, the balance of all interests was broken.
After Su's mother passed away, the appearance of the Su family began to crack. Hidden in the past, one by one, gradually emerges, involving everyone in it, making them breathless. And Su Mingcheng's beating incident made the originally tense atmosphere of the Su family tense. This incident became the beginning of touching Julie's interests. In Zhu Li's eyes, Mingyu's beating was just a trivial matter, just a fight between brothers and sisters.
No matter how the sister-in-law explained the weight of Su Mingcheng's hand and how serious Mingyu's injuries were, she couldn't listen to them. She only had Su Mingcheng in her heart, worried, worried that he would be imprisoned. She thinks about the future of herself and her family, but completely ignores Mingyu, who is still in the hospital, and does not care about the condition of the injured. If this is a manifestation of her love for Su Mingcheng, let's ignore it for the time being.
But when she talked about debt with Su Mingcheng later, and Su Mingcheng got drunk on the day she was almost beaten, Zhu Li's inner fear and uneasiness were vividly displayed. In the darkness, she shivered, and she didn't even dare to turn on the light. Her mind was confused and her mind was full of doubts, so she decided to hide in the main guard and closed the door tightly. The strong smell of alcohol, as well as his gibberish, convinced Julie that he was going drunk.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the bedroom door, causing Julie to scream in fright. She was worried that Ming Cheng would rush in, and if he was crazy, would he smash his fist at him? Thinking of the half-swollen face she saw when she visited Mingyu, Zhu Li shuddered. She immediately thought of her parents, but in the middle of the night, she hesitated. Holding the ** and listening to another "bang" from the outer door, she plucked up the courage to dial 110. At the same time, she kept praying for the Bodhisattva's blessing and hoping that the police would arrive soon.
At this critical juncture, Julie's reaction is completely in line with the selfishness of human nature. When it comes to self-interest, she becomes very different, as the ancients said: "People die for money, birds die for food." And when Su Mingcheng's inducement to invest failed touched her interests, her reaction was even more obvious. In the play, Su Mingcheng's performance is disappointing, and he is too obsessed with winning this fight, which leads to the failure of the investment. But the description in the book makes us more aware that the reason why Su Mingcheng invested so impatiently was actually because of his immaturity.
Zhu Li once sensibly reminded Su Mingcheng: "We can't afford to win or lose now." But he did not listen to the advice and retorted: "Why do you have to count these things!" Does he use these things! His superstition about Manager Zhou led him into an investment that he thought would be successful, even sacrificing himself to curry favor with him. This made Julie very angry. When she found the lipstick on Su Mingcheng's white shirt, she couldn't determine whether it was intentional by Manager Zhou or something Su Mingcheng was hiding, which made her feel extremely uneasy.
If Su Mingcheng's violent incident gave Zhu Li a new understanding of him, then at this moment, Zhu Li's trust in Su Mingcheng has been greatly reduced. In the end, I have a very high opinion of Julie. As selfish as she is, her selfishness is sensible. She is a wise woman who knows when to let go and when to hold on.
She doesn't get entangled in feelings about what has died, as some people do. Whether in the play or in the original book, I greatly appreciate Julie's calmness and decisiveness. When Zhu Li described in detail what happened last night and this morning, Zhu's father and mother were very angry and blamed Mingcheng one after another. However, Zhu Li calmly told them: "I decided to divorce Su Mingcheng. The person has an unsound personality and will never be reformed and will not make any progress. I have no faith in his mother unless he is resurrected. Hearing the word "divorce", both husband and wife were a little shocked and couldn't believe their ears.
For ordinary people, divorce is a big deal. However, Zhu Li felt that she had done her best to Su Mingcheng. She didn't blame him for going to jail and kept encouraging him to come out of the shadows. However, Su Mingcheng betrayed her like Mr. Dongguo and invested behind her back. After the defeat, she didn't say anything. She was already very tolerant, but Su Mingcheng instigated his uncle to come to the unit to find her**. This person not only fights with his sister at home, but also turns against the leader in the company.
He always thinks he is reasonable, but why can't he get along no matter what? Zhu Li felt more and more that Mingyu was a reasonable person. Compared to Su Mingcheng, he has become unrecognizable and is no longer worth looking forward to. Rotten wood can't be carved, she doesn't have the ability of Su Mingcheng's mother. Throughout the whole thing, Julie always kept a clear head. Although there were some twists and turns along the way, such as the chaos of the Su family, which hindered her way forward, she always tenaciously crossed the past. She knows that only by overcoming these obstacles will a new life await her.
