Liu Xiang's death shocked the military and political officials in Sichuan. While thinking about the funeral, she urged Mrs. Liu to go to see Ling.
Military and political dignitaries all know that Liu Xiang's wife Zhou Yushu is a powerful role. If she knew that her husband had suddenly "died suddenly", something might happen. So, after careful consideration, they decided to appoint Qin Dejun, the only female senator in Liu Xiang's Ministry, to accompany Zhou Yushu.
Qin Dejun has long known Zhou Yushu's power: she has a big face, a wide forehead, thick eyebrows and a strong figure, without the petite features of traditional beauty, but Liu Xiang is obedient to her. After decades of marriage, Liu Xiang not only never had the idea of concubinage, but even had an affair.
Qin Dejun knew that especially Liuxiang was so, not only because he was lewd, but also because of Zhou Yushu's tough character. When she first joined the Sichuan Provincial People's Armed Forces Department, she heard many anecdotes about Zhou Yushu. Among them, what impressed her most was that Liu Xiang's subordinates joked that Liu Xiang had found a "lover". This was originally a joke, but because of this joke, Zhou Yushu scolded everyone involved in this matter. Afterwards, she still felt that she had no revenge and smashed her home.
Because she knew something about Zhou Yushu in advance, she was a little embarrassed after receiving the task. She is worried that she can't finish the task successfully. After consulting with others in the Liu Xiang Department, she decided that Liu Xiang's body must not be known to her before she arrived in Wuhan.
After seeing Zhou Yushu, Qin Dejun and others just said, "His stomach trouble has happened again. In order to avoid the situation, you still have to come forward to pick him up. "
Zhou Yushu is a sincere person. She always said that one equals one and two equals two. She frowned at once and said, "I knew something would happen if I didn't take care of him." I must be greedy again. " Last time, the doctor said that he had some rich diseases and could not eat in public, but he didn't listen. "
The "disease of wealth" in Zhou Yushu's mouth refers to the diabetes diagnosed in Liu Xiang some time ago. Zhou Yushu does not know much about diabetes. All she knows is that the disease won't kill anyone, but it needs to be avoided. By contrast, she is more worried about Liu Xiang's stomach trouble. Liu Xiang's stomach trouble is an old problem for many years. He even vomited blood when he was ill.
Zhou Yushu is a little nervous at the thought of Liu Xiang's stomach trouble. She wanted to ask, "Did he vomit blood?" But when the words came to her lips, she held back again.
Zhou Yushu's life is most concerned about his small family, and the pillar of the family is naturally Liu Xiang. She never cared about prosperity. Therefore, even if Liu Xiang becomes the "King of Sichuan" in the future, she will still be the same as before: do housework by herself every day, tie a bun for middle-aged and elderly women, and don't even change that blue blouse.
Zhou Yushu is an extremely indoor person. She attaches great importance to the interests of her family. Just a few days before Qin Dejun found her, she was arguing with people in her hometown Dayi County about the distribution of millet and wheat.
However, at present, Zhou Yushu has no time to take care of Xiaomi. All her thoughts are now on her husband's illness, Liu Xiang. After Qin Dejun found her, she had some bad feelings. She knew that if something happened, Qin Dejun wouldn't suddenly appear.
Liu Xiang pays attention to diet. Qin Dejun had heard about it. She even heard that after Liu Xiang was developed, she spent huge sums of money to invite two Sichuan chefs to cook at home.
Qin Dejun and Zhou Yushu didn't know it, but especially Liuxiang didn't forget to eat even at the most tense moment on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. At the invitation of Zhang Qun, he went to Zhang Qun's house for a crab dinner. They don't even know that this crab feast is the key to Liu Xiang's relapse.
At the crab feast that day, Liu Xiang ate six or seven crabs in one breath, and he also drank some wine. He drank two bowls of sweet soup after the party.
Crabs are cold and high-protein foods. If you eat sweets such as tremella and red dates after eating crabs, it is bound to accumulate water in the human body, which is very harmful to health.
But people in the Republic of China didn't know this, so although Liu Xiang was worried that he ate too many crabs, they didn't take these two bowls of sweet tremella to heart at all. That night, when I got home from chatting with Zhang Qun, especially Liuxiang fell ill.
According to Qin Dejun's news, Liu Xiang suddenly fell to the ground and fainted when he dictated the operational orders that day. His personal doctor, Magris Ku, immediately rescued him. If he hadn't been rescued in time, he might have died when he came back from dinner that night.
Qin Dejun didn't know the details of Liu Xiang's later treatment. She only heard that Liu Xiang vomited blood when he died, as if she had too much resentment in her heart. Qin Dejun has her own guess, and her guess coincides with Zhou Yushu's idea: Liu Xiang vomited blood before his death, which was related to Chiang Kai-shek.
Qin Dejun and Zhou Yushu all know that over the years, Liu Xiang and Chiang Kai-shek have been fighting in the dark. After so many years of intrigue, their relationship has already buried various hidden dangers, and Qin Dejun even decided that Chiang Kai-shek would use Liu Xiang's war of resistance to attack him.
Zhou Yushu knows nothing about politics, but she knows two things very well: first, Chiang Kai-shek and her husband Liu Xiang are at odds; Second, her husband Liu Xiang went out of Sichuan to serve the country, not to fight the Japanese devils. He is a great hero.
When the plane flew to Hankou, everyone who greeted Zhou Yushu at the airport wore a white flower and looked very dignified. Qin Dejun saw this scene, and looked at Zhou Yushu beside him with some worry. I saw her staring at the white flowers on their chests strangely, but said nothing.
Qin Dejun was relieved. She thought: This poor peasant woman has no education and doesn't know that "wearing white flowers is mourning".
Liu Xiang's funeral home is located in the Sixth Primary School of Hanzhong Road, Hankou Japanese Concession. When Qin Dejun and Zhou Yushu walked to the door, they heard the knocking inside, and all the music began to play. There are countless wreaths and elegiac couplets, which have been placed in the auditorium inside the door.
At this time, Zhou Yushu finally noticed something, but she still couldn't believe it. She only followed Qin Dejun and others into the auditorium. There is a small house next to the auditorium, with a single bed and a quilt on it. Zhou Yushu saw it at a glance: this is her husband Liu Xiang's, scarlet embroidered quilt cover, very old and rustic. Only Liu Xiang can cover such a quilt.
On the other hand, there are stationery such as pen container, inkstone and ink box on a double wooden table in front of the bed, and there are two chairs and a coffee table on the bedside.
"Where's Fugong?" Zhou Yushu nervously asked Liu Xiang's adjutant, and her heart was already cold. Li, the adjutant who was asked, pointed to the coffin in the center of the auditorium with tears and said, "That's it!" "
Zhou Yushu finally understood at this time. She only felt that her legs were weak and she couldn't stand up. Qin Dejun hurried forward to hold her, and Zhou Yushu choked back tears and asked, "Do you know, is it really dead?" Qin Dejun nodded and said, "Yes, it's dead." Liu Shuzhou complained, "Why didn't you tell me first?" ?
Qin Dejun replied sadly, "We met on the plane. How can I put it? I am afraid that you will jump off the plane! " Qin Dejun spoke very seriously, and Zhou Yushu didn't take her seriously again. She can only cry and say:
After the confession, Zhou Yushu turned to Liu Xiang's coffin. As she was walking, she suddenly jumped up about ten feet across from the coffin and burst into tears.
The moment Zhou Yushu plunged into the coffin, Qin Dejun's nose was sour. It was a long time before she realized that Zhou Yushu's act of pouncing on the coffin was called "touching the coffin", which was a custom in Dayi County, Liu Xiang's hometown.
Qin Dejun and others went up to comfort Zhou Yushu and made her "sad", but how could they persuade her? Zhou Yushu caressed the coffin and wept bitterly, while calling Qin Dejun to accompany her to Chiang Kai-shek desperately. Qin Dejun was dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek, and now she hates him.
Qin Dejun once heard that shortly after Liu Xiang left Sichuan to resist Japan, Chiang Kai-shek tried to disintegrate his military power. Why else would Liu Xiang suddenly die!
Zhou Yushu, who lost her husband, has a very bad temper. She is full of sadness and anger. She will smash anything she sees, such as tea bowls, pen containers, ink cartridges and ashtrays. Seeing her, everyone was far away, afraid to see her. Qin Dejun see in the eye, anxious in my heart.
One day, Zhou Yushu lost his temper and cried: "The human feelings are cold and warm, and the world is cold. When Fu Hong was here, I made a promise. Now that Fu Gong is gone, no one will care about me! " Qin Dejun knew at once that she could do her ideological work. She gently held Zhou Yushu's shoulder with her hand and said:
"They don't come to see you. They are afraid of being beaten by you. As long as you don't hit them, I'll call them. "
Qin Dejun didn't cheat Zhou Yushu. These days, the Kuomintang military and political leaders in Wuhan kept coming, asking her to cooperate with Mrs. Liu's work, end Liu Xiang's funeral as soon as possible and return to Sichuan as soon as possible.
The military and political leaders once said to Qin Dejun in an almost pleading tone: "Please be kind and let her get things done as soon as possible. In case something happens to her in Wuhan, it will be in trouble. "
Although Zhou Yushu can't read, he also understands the truth. After listening to Qin Dejun's words, she raised an eyebrow and said, "I won't fight."
Qin Dejun looked at her like that, but she was still a little uneasy. She knows that if this woman can't get over this hurdle in her heart, it will be difficult. So, after she wanted to think:
After a while, I brought nurse Tao. After a brief greeting, nurse Tao said, "Liu Fuguong is starving and exhausted."
Zhou Yushu looked nurse Tao up and down while listening. The nurse is dressed in plain clothes, short stature and delicate facial features. She looks up at Zhou Yushu and then goes on to say:
Tao nurse said these things, Zhou Yushu's tears began to fall. Qin Dejun busy patted her on the shoulder in the past, she this comfort, Zhou Yushu cry more fierce.
While patting Zhou Yushu, Qin Dejun asked nurse Tao, "What did Fugong say before he died?" Miss Tao paused and recalled:
"Before he died, Fu Gong only grasped with his hands, but he couldn't grasp anything, showing his feelings and hopes of wanting to live and not dying. He was extremely tragic: he shouted every day not to do it, and the ground was ineffective."
After that, Nurse Tao burst into tears. After crying for a while, she added:
When nurse Tao said this, she seemed to forget the existence of Zhou Yushu. The affair between nurse Tao and Liuxiang has long been heard. At this time, she was almost sure what they had before. Thought of here, she couldn't help looking at Zhou Yushu.
Mammy Tao suggested to Zhou Yushu, "I have no other plans at the moment, but I just want to go back to Sichuan with you to serve the young master all my life."
Zhou Yushu was a little surprised to hear the news. Although she sympathizes with nurse Tao, she doesn't want her to be involved in the Liu family. She gave the nurse Tao a sum of money to solve this problem.
After meeting nurse Tao, Zhou Yushu still didn't dispel her doubts. She still blames Chiang Kai-shek for her husband's death.
Therefore, on the day when Chiang Kai-shek came to see Zhou Yushu, she beat her chest and feet when she saw Chiang Kai-shek, kneeling on the ground and hitting her head several times. Then, she began to cry.
Chiang Kai-shek had never seen this way. He has heard that Zhou Yushu is desperately looking for him. In this case, he is naturally extremely nervous. He took Qin Dejun's arm awkwardly and said, "Aunt Liu, help Sister Liu go back to rest."
Qin Dejun knew that Zhou Yushu was very powerful. She is full of grievances now. How to pull her up before she finishes venting? I ran to pull her at this time, and she might beat me. So, she just stood by and watched, without moving forward. Another reason why Qin Dejun didn't move was that he wanted to scare Chiang Kai-shek.
Sure enough, while listening to Zhou Yushu scold himself, Chiang Kai-shek kept sweating and even stuttering. Chiang Kai-shek was afraid that the village bitch would really catch him and beat him. He just pulled Qin Dejun and kept urging: "Aunt Liu, help her go back to rest."
Chiang Kai-shek never imagined that the more anxious he was, the higher Zhou Yushu's crying was, and the more untenable Qin Dejun was.
Finally, when Zhou Yushu was tired of crying and scolding, Qin Dejun gave her a hand and advised her not to cry. Strange to say, just after Qin Dejun persuaded him, Zhou Yushu immediately stopped crying and stood up.
Chiang Kai-shek braved the sweat and said, "Sister-in-law, the funeral and the children's problems are all the responsibility of Brother Fucheng, who promises to be worthy of her family."
With this promise, Zhou Yushu nodded and said that he would help Ling return to Sichuan as soon as possible.
65438+ 10 25th, the fifth day of Liu Xiang's death, was the day when Liu Xiang Funeral Home held a memorial service for Liu Xiang. On the day of the memorial service, there were many people in the funeral home. They all wore white flowers on their chests and white gauze on their arms. On that day, Zhou Yushu and "Aunt" Qin Dejun wore Dai Xiao to pay homage to the dead and welcome guests.
The day after the funeral, Zhou Yushu helped Liu Xiang's coffin set out from Hankou and returned to Sichuan.
On the day of departure, He Qinying, Chiang Kai-shek's confidant in charge ahead, was embarrassed to hear Zhou Yushu repeatedly shout: "The pro-Japanese faction succeeded and forced my anti-Japanese hero to death!"
According to the funeral custom, the executioner can't turn back, which makes him anxious in Qin Ying. He was only anxious to say to the people on both sides, "Hurry up and persuade him." Will Zhou Yushu listen to advice? She just wailed until Liu Xiang's coffin got on the boat.
On February 4th, 65438+5th day after Liu Xiang's death, his coffin arrived in Chongqing. According to the original plan, after the public sacrifice in Chongqing, his coffin will be transported to the southern suburbs of Chengdu for a public sacrifice.
On the day of the public sacrifice, Zhou Yushu once again shocked everyone. That day, she took several children and knelt in front of the spirit with a "funeral stick" on her back. Before the eulogist had read a few words, Zhou Yushu's "crying stick" flew.
While crying, she threw a "funeral stick" at Liu Xiang's men. Her aim is to gain some benefits for herself and the children in Liu Xiang.
After a fierce operation, Zhou Yushu collapsed on the ground, crying and began to ask the officials sent by Chiang Kai-shek for conditions. The following are her general conditions:
Of course, Chiang Kai-shek could not agree to all these conditions proposed by Zhou Yushu. Finally, I only agreed to give Liu Xiang's two eldest sons a "nominal" rank of major general.
As a result, Liu Xiang and Zhou Yushu's eldest son, Liu Shiying, and his second son, Liu Shizhe, both middle school students who are still in middle school, have become "major generals" of the national army.
Since then, Zhou Yushu has been living with her children. Although she lost her husband, she still maintained the trait of "tenacity".
One day, her two "Major General" sons came back crying and said, "People at school say they are nothing, but they are rich ..."
After Zhou Yushu knew it, he rushed to Fucheng Middle School where his son was studying in a rage. This is a private middle school founded by Liu Xiang before his death. After Liu Xiang died, Zhou Yushu became the chairman of this school.
That day, after gathering her classmates together, she actually said, "Don't scold me behind my back. If I am angry with you, I will close this school and see if you still scold me! "
After Zhou Yushu leaked the secret, no one in the school dared to speak ill of the two "major generals" anymore. Zhou Yushu's tenacity provided a relatively peaceful environment for the growth of Liu's children.
However, the sons of two "major generals" who grew up under her protection ended up in a tragic end. They died in the war when they were young.
Liu Xiang and Zhou Yushu's remaining son and daughter are far from politics. Later, they all became talents. Among them, Liu Kanghuai, the youngest son, graduated from Sichuan University in his early years and went to study in the United States. With the support of his mother, he entered the business world and became a "tough" businessman like his mother. Daughter Liu Weiwen married Brunei after graduating from West China University in Chengdu, and has been living with her mother.
197 1 year, Zhou Yushu died in Brunei at the age of 85. Liu Xiang has been dead for 33 years this year. But before she died, when she talked about her husband, people obviously had an illusion that she and her husband seemed to have just separated. ...
