Wang Xiu'e died of dystocia. Is this possible? Think of the fact that she has already given birth to three children, and that she is Anjie's midwife when she is in desperate need of help. However, when Lao Ding landed on the island in disgrace, he told everyone this bad news. Jiang Dehua couldn't believe that this was true. An Jie's explanation was that Wang Xiu'e herself neglected to give birth, which led to dystocia.
Although Wang Xiu'e's responsibility does exist, as her husband, is Lao Ding not responsible? Their marriage is the order of their parents, the words of the matchmaker, and there is no love. She is Wang Xiu'e's rural cousin, who is very arrogant, has no culture, and does not know what love is. But she knew that he was her man, and she recognized this man, and gave birth to him, did his laundry, cooked, and did not complain. In fact, she has already given birth to three children for Lao Ding.
However, Lao Ding did not have the same loyalty to Wang Xiu'e. He has always wanted to find a literate woman to be his wife. Although he does not have the same experience as Jiang Defu, the regrets of the past will not disappear. He couldn't get rid of Wang Xiu'e, so he could only take her to live in the city.
Sun Ma praised Lao Ding as a man with affection and righteousness, unlike some men who are just Chen Shimei. Lao Ding did take Wang Xiu'e to the city, but he didn't give her enough security. Her world only revolves around Lao Ding and the child. When delivering an occasion, she said that she had never even gone out to this yard. Yes, she is just a rural woman, she has not seen much of the world, and she does not understand the twists and turns of cultured people.
When she saw Anjie, she felt extremely intimate, as if she was seeing a loved one. So, did Lao Ding ever like An Jie? There may never be an answer to this question. This issue has always been the focus of the audience's attention, and Wang Xiu'e must have similar doubts. Her more worries about An Jie mainly stem from An Jie's relationship with Lao Ding. She understands that Lao Ding is a cultural person with a high spirit, and she has long disliked her ordinary self. If he is given a chance to choose again, An Jie is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
When Jiang Defu went to the island, but An Jie did not accompany him, Wang Xiu'e was the most anxious person. She saw that the two of them were like shadows, as long as there was a little contact and a trace of ambiguity, she would be on pins and needles, and her anxiety even exceeded that of Jiang Defu. She felt that An Jie and Lao Ding were very compatible, and they were suitable to become husband and wife, and Lao Ding also showed An Jie a tenderness that he had never had for her.
The principal's wife gave them an idea, and they successfully sent An Jie to the island, and the stone in Wang Xiu'e's heart finally landed. However, Lao Ding's feelings for An Jie, although he liked it, would never have bad thoughts. Therefore, when Jiang Defu left An Jie alone in Qingdao, he would rest assured that he would entrust her to Lao Ding. Lao Ding is a cultural person, with a frank heart, and will never do anything sorry for his brother, nor do he disdain to do such things. Jiang Defu knows this, but for Wang Xiu'e, he knows nothing.
Similarly, An Jie will never accept Lao Ding, let alone be like Zhang Guilan to get along with Jiang Defu while he is not at home. Lao Ding lacked too much patience with Wang Xiu'e. Wang Xiu'e's temper is wide open, she can't hide things in her heart, and even if she suspects that Lao Ding is having an affair with An Jie, she will say it without scruples.
When An Jie was pregnant, she would go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up and learn that they were twins. However, when Wang Xiu'e was pregnant, she would definitely not go to the hospital for prenatal checkups, she didn't want to spend that unjust money, and Lao Ding didn't bother to reason with her, because she felt that it didn't make sense, so she obeyed Wang Xiu'e's idea.
Without patient care, Lao Ding is not a competent husband. Just like the quarrel between Jiang Dehua and An Jie, the donkey's head is not in the horse's mouth, and the relationship between Lao Ding and Wang Xiu'e is not the same? Time passed, and Lao Ding began to be reluctant to communicate with Wang Xiu'e, but Wang Xiu'e still went her own way, and she didn't know it.
Even if she knew, what could she change? She was never able to be a literate intellectual. Wang Xiu'e's death in childbirth is inseparable from Lao Ding's relationship. Even if he didn't divorce Wang Xiu'e, his attitude towards her was not good. She is like a maid mother, who takes care of Lao Ding's life in an orderly manner, but she has never been able to enter the depths of his heart. After her death, Lao Ding's life suddenly became a mess.
A man not only has to face the pressure of work and taking care of children, these trivial matters will gradually make him realize the importance of Wang Xiu'e. However, he didn't care, because what he needed more was the communication of the spiritual world. Therefore, when he got married for the second time, he was reluctant to choose Jiang Dehua, and preferred to choose a partner who fits the spiritual world. Jiang Defu and An Jie's married life may have stimulated him, making him no longer willing to marry a woman who is also uneducated after Wang Xiu'e.
However, Jiang Dehua, who has followed An Jie for many years, is completely different from Wang Xiu'e, and her existence is also a win-win choice for Lao Ding. However, who spoke up for the woman who died in childbirth? Lao Ding, who marries Jiang Dehua again, will not have the slightest guilt. A woman like Wang Xiu'e is the most tragic supporting role in the whole play. They pay silently, but they never get the understanding and respect they deserve. Their stories deserve our deep thought and attention.
