Qiao Haiyun and her husband Meng Xianrong have been in love for a lifetime. Therefore, Qiao Haiyun's greatest wish is to hope that her three daughters can have a happy marriage and a happy family like her. However, whether it is the eldest daughter Meng Mingwei, the second daughter Meng Wanqing, or the youngest daughter Meng Yi'an, they all have unspeakable secrets in their respective marriages. 
Meng Mingwei accepted Qiao Haiyun's arrangement to marry Li Chengzhi, an honest and conscientious son-in-law, but endured a sexless marriage for more than 30 years. Meng Wanqing, despite Qiao Haiyun's opposition, married the courteous Tao Dalei, but she mentioned divorce countless times without telling her daughter. Meng Yi'an, the only one who didn't let his parents worry about it, married Qiu Xia, who had a decent job, but finally divorced Qiu Xia because it was difficult to balance family and career. But these three daughters of the Meng family all chose to keep their mouths shut, and even deliberately pretended to be loving husband and wife in front of Qiao Haiyun, never showing the unbearable side of the marriage. Qiao Haiyun wouldn't know that the three daughters never complained to her, nor did they complain, it wasn't that the marriage was really happy, but they just didn't want her to worry. In the drama "Fireworks People", compared with the good-for-nothing Li Chengzhi and Tao Dalei who "eats soft rice", Qiao Haiyun is the most satisfied, and the most optimistic son-in-law is Qiu Xia, but fortunately, Qiu Xia's ending did not disappoint everyone. 
01, Li Chengzhi reaped the consequences of his own evil At the beginning, Meng Mingwei was lame and no one came to the door to ask for marriage, so Qiao Haiyun fell in love with the honest Li Chengzhi as his son-in-law, and generously married a suite. Outsiders say that it is a great thing to be able to marry the daughter of Director Qiao. But for Li Chengzhi, Meng Mingwei's existence reminds him of his incompetence and failure all the time. So for so many years, Li Chengzhi has always had hatred in his heart. He hated that he was born poor and had no education, and he couldn't marry a beautiful girl, and all he could marry was the lame and ugly daughter of the factory director. He hates his family even more, there are so many older brothers on it, so his parents don't care who he goes to. 
So, after getting married, Li Chengzhi took revenge on Meng Mingwei with all his hatred and intensified his torture of Meng Mingwei. In the play "Fireworks People", Meng Mingwei gave birth to Li Yijin early, and his body was full of bruises, and Qiao Haiyun knew how much Meng Mingwei had been wronged. In order to seek justice for Meng Mingwei, Qiao Haiyun taught Li Chengzhi a hard lesson, tore up Meng Mingwei's ticket in front of Li Chengzhi, and made a rule that he must go back to his parents' house for the New Year. Since then, although Li Chengzhi has never done anything to Meng Mingwei, he often uses ugly words to sarcastically and satirize Meng Mingwei, and mentally tortures Meng Mingwei. After Meng Mingwei retired, the salary card has been kept with Li Chengzhi for "safekeeping". 
Meng Mingwei doesn't know how much his pension is, and he doesn't have the right to dispose of his pension, and even the money for groceries every month depends on Li Chengzhi's face. But despite this, Meng Mingwei still secretly saved 150,000. This money is Meng Mingwei's last confidence, and it is also a dowry for Li Yijin. Meng Mingwei carefully hid the passbook behind the family photo on the wall, but Li Chengzhi still found it. In order to manage his finances, Li Chengzhi took all the money to a friend to "invest", and it was not until he couldn't contact the so-called friend that Li Chengzhi realized that he had been deceived. 
The creditor came to the door, Li Chengzhi hid, and left the mess to Meng Mingwei and Li Yijin to clean up. After Li Yijin knew what Meng Mingwei had happened to over the years, she felt guilty and distressed, and immediately decided to divorce Meng Mingwei. But Li Chengzhi has no job and no income, so he will not divorce easily. So Qiao Haiyun said that as long as Li Chengzhi agreed to the divorce, he could leave the house to him to live in, and Li Yijin also promised that he would provide for his old age after the divorce. Li Chengzhi reluctantly divorced Meng Mingwei. But Qiao Haiyun will not let Li Chengzhi go easily. After Li Chengzhi and Meng Mingwei divorced, Qiao Haiyun sold the house and swept Li Chengzhi out of the house. Li Chengzhi can be regarded as self-inflicted. 
02, Tao Dalei deserves Tao Dalei is the man Meng Wanqing insisted on marrying, but this man disappointed Meng Wanqing in marriage. After marriage, in the face of her mother-in-law's accusations and difficulties, Meng Wanqing chose to endure, while Tao Dalei chose to turn a blind eye. After Tao Shuna was born, her mother-in-law was noisy with the child, so she drove Meng Wanqing, who was sitting in confinement, and the child from the warm south house to the unheated north house in the winter. It was too cold in the house, and Meng Wanqing couldn't sleep at all, so she had to wait for Tao Dalei to come home from work. But after Tao Dalei came back, he only stayed in the north room for a few minutes, then put on his clothes and went to the south room to sleep, not caring at all whether Meng Wanqing and the child would freeze. 
In order to buy a house in the school district, Meng Wanqing was desperately talking about business and drinking outside, but Tao Dalei accused Meng Wanqing of dressing up to show whom. Another time, Meng Wanqing went to the station to pick up a friend, dressed particularly conspicuously in the gray crowd, Tao Dalei saw Meng Wanqing from a distance, felt embarrassed, not only did not say hello, but also walked past Meng Wanqing with his head down. Tao Dalei's actions have already made Meng Wanqing feel cold. So, in the year of Tao Shuna's college entrance examination, Meng Wanqing filed for divorce. However, Tao Dalei did not agree, and Meng Wanqing had no choice but to continue to play a loving couple with Tao Dalei. If it weren't for Tao Shuna's chance to find out that Meng Wanqing and Tao Dalei had already separated, Meng Wanqing would not have taken the initiative to confess that she and Tao Dalei would have been unable to live for a long time. 
The reason why Tao Dalei has been dragging out not to divorce is because of face and not wanting to be laughed at, and secondly, for money, as long as he does not divorce, he can continue to "eat soft rice" as a matter of course. Meng Wanqing was diagnosed with breast cancer and did not tell Tao Dalei, but went to the hospital alone for surgery, because Meng Wanqing knew that Tao Dalei didn't care about her life or death at all except for money. After being discharged from the hospital, Meng Wanqing completely figured it out and resolutely filed for divorce, Meng Wanqing said coldly: "Tao Dalei, I will have the last showdown with you today." All the forbearance and hesitation before, firstly, I felt that I was also at fault, and secondly, for the sake of you Nana's father, I have been giving in until today. But this time out of the hospital, I figured it out. For the rest of my life, I don't want to grieve myself any more. Tao Dalei doesn't understand the divorce, Meng Wanqing divorced him, it has nothing to do with anyone, it's just that he swallowed too many grievances in this loveless and sexless marriage. 
03, Qiu Xia is the most satisfactory The relationship between Meng Yi'an and Qiu Xia is the most envied by Li Yijin and Tao Shuna. However, what Li Yijin and Tao Shuna never expected was that Meng Yi'an and Qiu Xia not only divorced, but also started a new relationship. Li Yijin and Tao Shuna didn't understand very much, Meng Yi'an and Qiu Xia were once so romantic and beautiful, why did they want to divorce, Meng Yi'an replied: "In fact, love and marriage are two different things, after getting married, you will find that all the shining points on him are different." Ideal love only exists in fantasy. "The differences between Meng Yi'an and Qiu Xia actually existed from the beginning. 
Before Qiuqiu was one year old, Meng Yi'an resigned from the company and started his own business. Qiu Xia felt that starting a business was not only hard but also unstable, so he didn't agree with anything. But Meng Yi'an was stubborn, and despite Qiu Xia's opposition, he did it himself without saying a word. Later, Meng Yi'an became busier and busier at work, and most of the time Qiu Xia was taking care of the children, resulting in Qiu Xia not being able to take evening classes every semester, and he was not rated as a professional title for three consecutive years. Qiu Xia was angry, and the two broke out into a fierce quarrel. In the original work of "Fireworks People", it is written: "The most hurtful words, spoken from the mouth of the most trusted, still became the last straw that crushed the marriage." The two talked calmly later, both were extremely proud and extremely stubborn people, and finally they were unwilling to put down their pride and compromise with each other. ”
After the divorce, Meng Yi'an had Song Junfan by his side and Qiu Xia had Xiao Yao by his side, and the relationship between the two was very harmonious. But it can be seen that neither Meng Yi'an nor Qiu Xia have let go of each other in their hearts. Later, after Qiu Xia found out about Xiao Yao's "ugly thing", he was not sad, but relieved. From beginning to end, Qiu Xia loved Meng Yi'an, who could afford to put it down and was independent. And Meng Yi'an, even if he interacts with Song Junfan, his words and deeds are full of alienation. In the original work of the TV series "Fireworks People", Qiu Xia and Meng Yi'an finally got back together, and the story ended with a happy ending.
I thought that growth was to move forward and not look back, but now I understand that growth is actually to dare to move forward and dare to look back. In this marriage from near to far, they all admit their mistakes and want to turn back. ”
