Speaking of the history of the Wu family, we have to go back to the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the imperial court wanted to build the emperor's mausoleum, so they recruited capable people and strangers from the people.Ambitious people recommended themselves one after another, but the ancestors of the Wu family were sober-minded and understood that the day when such a thing is successful is also the day of death, so they rejected the visiting officials, but they were detained because of this. He was accused of disrespecting the imperial edict and was almost imprisoned by the whole family.

When the Wu family was most in danger, the ancestors of the Zhang family were officials in the court, and they were in charge of the construction of the imperial tomb. Back to their family's life.

The ancestors of the Wu family had no choice but to agree, but this choice made the Wu family famous.Since then, with the change of the old and new emperors, the imperial tomb has gradually expanded, and the Wu family has gradually become famous, but because of this incident, the Wu family's descendants have gradually withered.

Because of their righteous words at the beginning, the Wu family was very grateful to the Zhang family. The friendship and marriage from generation to generation made the two families gradually inseparable.

Later, when the Qing Dynasty collapsed, the Wu family no longer needed to help others build the imperial mausoleum. With the accumulation of hundreds of years, their lives became more free. However, the Zhang family, which had been officials for generations, gradually fell into disrepair, and the Wu family took care of them for a long time. .

During the period of the Republic of China, the Zhang and Wu families opened antique shops one after another. Relying on their craftsmanship and vision, they managed to make several big deals.Later, when the Japanese invaded China, a son of the Zhang family angrily went to join the national army. The Wu family wanted to escape from the world, but rescued an officer of the Eighth Route Army by accident.

Eight years of war.

Two years after the Japanese surrendered, Wu Laogou's grandfather died of illness. Before he died, he called his only grandson to his side and gave him two things. A piece of longevity jade lock passed down by the family.

It was these two things that completely changed the fate of the Zhang and Wu families.

"Ten years of turmoil, a great leap forward, and the eradication of the four old." Wu Sanxing recalled that turbulent era with ecstasy: "Your grandpa saw the situation clearly, and first used that seal to prove that the Wu family had meritorious service back then. He also took the initiative to hand over all the antique jade articles in the house, except for the longevity jade lock."

"And then?" Wu Xie asked.

Wu Sansheng smiled wryly: "Of course there will be nothing else, that is, occasionally some people will come to the house to talk heart-to-heart until... your birth."

In 1972, Wu Xie was born, and Wu Laogou's family rejoiced like a pearl.

On the day of Wu Xie's full moon, the Wu family held a banquet and invited several sons and daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. During the dinner, Old Dog Wu happily put the family heirloom jade lock on the neck of little Wu Xie. The white and tender skin attracted everyone's amazement.

"The Zhang family...?" Wu Xie mumbled to himself.

Wu Sanxing glanced at him, nodded, and said, "It's the Zhang family you were thinking of."

Wu Xie was surprised: "Zhang, Zhang Qiling's family? My brother? Did my brother go that day? Where are my brother's parents? Why did they send my brother away?"

Wu Sansheng frowned, but continued on: "Neither Zhang Qiling nor his parents went there that day, because at that time, he had already been sent to Zhangjiawan."

Zhang Qiling's father is the eldest son of the Zhang family. He is withdrawn but kind-hearted.Grandpa Zhang valued his eldest son, but he didn't like the country daughter-in-law he found for him. He even doubted whether Zhang Qiling, who was born in the countryside, was a member of the Zhang family.That winter, Grandpa Zhang found an excuse to send his eldest son away, and then ordered his second son to throw the eldest daughter-in-law, who was feverish and comatose, and his two-year-old grandson into the wild woods on the outskirts of the city.When Zhang Qiling's father found their mother and son, his mother had already frozen to death, and when she was dying, she still hugged him tightly and used her body to keep him warm.

Zhang Qiling's father suppressed his grief and hastily buried his wife, then sent his son to Zhangjiawan overnight, and stayed with him there for two days. During these two days, his father sincerely warned him: Sinister, talk less and do more.

Zhang Qiling's father originally wanted to hide the child in Zhangjiawan so that he could visit him often, but he had an accident on the way back to the city.

"What?!" Wu Xie was shocked: "My brother's parents are... both dead?"

Wu Sansheng nodded, and then asked Wu Xie: "Do you know why his father asked him to talk less and do more?"

Wu Xie shook his head hesitantly.

Wu Sansheng sneered: "At that time, Zhang's family had a lot of family background. Although the current situation was turbulent, his family was fine. The sons in the family wanted to fight for the family property, so they were jealous of the eldest son who was valued. He had no scheming and courage. However, he secretly married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a son in the countryside. He kept it a secret from his father and son, but discussed with his brothers. Who knew that he turned around and made a small report. The family was restless, and it ended badly in the end."

"So... he actually wants to tell my brother to be cautious in his words and deeds, and not to trust others?" Wu Xie guessed.

Wu Sansheng raised his eyebrows: "Almost."

"and after?"

"Later, one day the Red Guards suddenly raided your house and took away the jade lock around your neck. During the scramble, you were so frightened that you burst into tears. Your grandpa beat those people away with a cane, and then was locked up. Anti-revolutionary big hat, literary criticism, military criticism, living in a cowshed, parading around with a urinal to show the public, cloth shoes with thousand-layer bottoms smacking his mouth, shaved yin and yang hair 'flying'... ...The whole family has suffered all kinds of crimes, and in the end your grandpa couldn't stand a serious illness. If it weren't for the help of old friends, his old life would have been accounted for." Wu Sansheng squinted his eyes and recalled, his voice was calm but hidden deep hatred Yi: "Finally, my second brother, your second uncle, found out that it was the Zhang family who told the secret, and they also took the jade lock."

When Wu Xie was two years old, the old dog Wu finally couldn't hold back and returned to the west. Zhang's family took advantage of the fire to instigate the Revolutionary Committee to take over the Wu family's ancestral property, unearthed the missing "four olds", and framed Wu Sansheng for broken shoes. Wu Yiqiong suddenly stood up to take the blame for his third brother. Seeing that he was about to be shot, it was Wu family's family friend Xie Jiuye who secretly rescued him and sent the family abroad with his relationship.

The past of the Wu family is like a TV series, the plot is clichéd and tragic, and it doesn't sound real. Wu Xie listened blankly, and then asked her own question: "Why...why did you leave me behind?"

"Because I don't know if I will run away or not, and I don't know what kind of life I will live after running away, so I simply give you to someone else to live a peaceful life in the countryside." Wu Sanxing said: "Tie Gener is the big brother. As a good friend of Zhang Qiling's father, I was disgusted to let you have anything to do with the Zhang family, but at that time, I had no time to worry about it."

"Then what happened later? Why didn't you come to me after you settled down?" Wu Xie didn't understand, and was even angry and sad.

Wu Sansheng glanced at him, and said helplessly: "We went abroad in 75, and the Gang of Four was smashed in 76. The eldest brother and sister-in-law were happy to come to pick you up, but who knew that they were targeted as soon as they got off the plane. I was almost caught. Later, I also sneaked back a few times, only to find that the piece of jade lock in Zhang’s family opened a company, and the power is getting bigger and bigger. I’m afraid that if I fail to pick you up, I will harm you, and I know you Life is going well, so it has been delayed for many years."

"I live a good life? Yes, I live a good life, very good! Then why are you here now? Just don't recognize me for the rest of your life! Anyway, I grew up in peace, you can be your foreigners at ease Alright!" Wu Xie was very angry. He once said to himself that his family must have some difficulties to stop looking for him. For more than ten years, he missed his parents every day, and then told himself that his parents missed him every day. In the end, His third uncle told him: We are actually abroad, and we didn't bother you because we saw that you were doing well.

How ridiculous!

"I know you can't understand, but what the Wu family has done to survive these years is something you can never imagine. Both my eldest brother and my second brother think that it is better to let you be safe than to let you participate in these things." Be an ignorant little bumpkin in peace, at least you can live happily and don't have to worry about how to live." Wu Sansheng said coldly.

Wu Xie was a little taken aback, so she asked cautiously: "What... have you guys done?"

"As long as I can survive, I will do anything."
