Could it be that Zhang Xiuwen was the "woman in red" and deliberately said so to mislead the police in their investigation?
Ma Hongwen harbored various doubts and was very surprised by Wang Qianshan's so-called responsibility logic of "cannot let down Li Qian". In order not to let down the mistress, he let down his first wife and abandoned his wife and children. Such a strong "sense of responsibility" is really amazing.
Perhaps out of sympathy, Ma Hongwen deliberately avoided the focus of questions on Wang Qianshan for the time being.
"Tell me what you think of Wang Yuan'e. Who is he in your eyes?"
Zhang Xiuwen thought for a while, but then took the initiative to mention Wang Qianshan: "The two brothers both admire their father, and they both live in his father's shadow. This is what they have in common. But their behavior in facing the shadow is different. It’s different. Do you know about my father-in-law’s deeds?”
They, Ma Hongwen, nodded slightly.
"A person like my father-in-law is an insurmountable mountain for the two brothers. Parents always hope that their children will be better than others, and my father-in-law is no exception. He himself is of course upright, sincere and sincere. He is worthy of his country and worthy of his comrades-in-arms, and he is blameless in both his great and personal virtues."
"But he didn't realize that times make heroes. He was born in a special era, grew up in a fiery era, and devoted himself to the vigorous battle for national destiny. The characters created by such a great era, let alone his two brothers , even other ordinary people born in peaceful times can only fall behind."
"So, under their father's strict requirements, they both admired their father and felt inferior about being unable to catch up with their father. This is also what they have in common."
"Wang Yuan'e is proud to have such a father and to be born into such a family. Therefore, he has a strong sense of blood identity. This is why in his eyes, I am an outsider."
"Wang Yuan'e has no intention of proving anything. He knows that his father cannot surpass him, so he is content with the status quo, obeys his father's arrangements, and gets by. Wang Qianshan is different. He is a person with ideas, and as he grows older, he gets better and better. He became more and more determined in his own thoughts, but he also wanted to get rid of his father's control and shadow more and more."
"Wang Qianshan has always wanted to prove himself. Therefore, when he was very young, he followed his father's example, taught himself Chinese medicine, and studied hard."
"My father-in-law never went to college. Wang Qianshan once thought that as long as he could go to college, on the one hand, he would definitely make his father proud. On the other hand, more importantly, in his view, he would have accomplished something that his father failed to do. It was an achievement and satisfaction for him."
"However, my father-in-law ultimately refused to allow Wang Qianshan to go to college. This made Wang Qianshan realize that what he considered to be very important and fulfilling was worthless to his father."
"My father-in-law initially wanted Wang Qianshan to give up going to college because of his inconvenience, but he told me that Wang Qianshan didn't go to college. As soon as Wang Qianshan and I... communicated after we got married, we knew what was going on."
"Wang Qianshan wanted to prove himself and surpass his father by going to college. My father-in-law, with a few words that he didn't care about, wiped out the goal that he had been working hard for for more than ten years and was about to achieve. This made Wang Qianshan quite heartbroken. At the same time, I also lost my life goal for a time.”
"At the same time, my father-in-law's behavior also made Wang Qianshan think that he was not important in his father's mind. While he was deeply shocked, he also complained a lot about his father."
"But facing his father, who was as tall and towering as a mountain, all Wang Qianshan could do was to study "The Book of Changes" with great concentration, and use this to anesthetize himself. He became more and more resistant to learning medical skills from his father, and the conflicts and quarrels between father and son became more and more serious. more."
"Wang Qianshan's research on "The Book of Changes" was quite accomplished and was sought after by many people at the time. But in my father-in-law's opinion, Wang Qianshan's move was not doing his job properly, so he firmly opposed it."
"Wang Qianshan thought that his father would not let him do anything he liked to do. His father didn't care at all about the things he thought he had achieved. Gradually, as he became more and more dissatisfied with his father, he also developed feelings of dissatisfaction with his father. The idea of breaking away from control and stepping out of the shadow brought by my father, and as time goes by, this idea becomes more and more determined."
"Later, my father-in-law arranged for him to set up his own business and open another one.
In a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, he refused to do this. He said that he had never even gone to college and did not even have a medical qualification certificate. If someone died, he could not bear the responsibility. He also said that opening a clinic now is not like your era. There are a lot of messy documents required, but he doesn't have any of them. Opening a clinic can only be a "black shop" and operate illegally. "
"Of course my father-in-law could tell that Wang Qianshan was still blaming him for not allowing him to go to college. But he was wrong, so he had to arrange for Wang Qianshan to take the medical qualification certificate exam. As a result, on the day of the exam, Wang Qianshan not only handed in a blank paper, but also A turtle was drawn on the test paper. The examiner who graded the test knew my father-in-law. Afterwards, he gave Wang Qianshan’s test paper to him and told him how many points your son should get. It’s up to you.”
"My father-in-law was so angry that he was so angry. The two fathers and sons had another big quarrel, and they almost demolished the house."
Then, Zhang Xiuwen hesitated for a moment and then said: "It was also under such circumstances that Wang Qianshan met Li Qian online."
"The differences between Wang Qianshan and I have become more and more obvious as time goes by. He also tried to find more topics with me, but I know nothing about "The Book of Changes" or Chinese medicine. I like to do all kinds of Drug trials, but he couldn't give a better opinion on it."
"After we got here, the only communication we had was probably a few words every day about the child. But the child is well taken care of by my mother-in-law, so there really aren't many topics we can communicate about."
"Li Qian... I majored in ancient Chinese and was quite involved in ancient classics. I especially believed in the "Book of Changes" and was amazed by Wang Qianshan's research on the "Book of Changes"... During that time, I also gave Wang Qianshan A great comfort to the soul.”
"Wang Qianshan and Li Qian have no barriers to communication, and they can find a sense of accomplishment and presence in her. Therefore, they are like dry wood meeting a raging fire, and they will soon burst into flames..."
"Later, Li Qian said that she wanted to elope with Wang Qianshan. Wang Qianshan thought that Li Qian was just being cool, so he casually asked her to resign, divorce, and cut off contact with her family. Who knows, Li Qian actually did it..."
Judging from Zhang Xiuwen's words and emotions, Wang Qianshan's abandonment of his wife and children is undoubtedly a scar that she does not want to uncover, but she does not seem to have much hatred for Wang Qianshan.
It's a complex and strange collection of emotions.
Seemingly sensing Ma Hongwen's doubts, Zhang Xiuwen continued: "It's not necessarily true that I don't hate Wang Qianshan at all. But it's not necessarily true that I hate him deeply."
"There was an irreparable difference between him and me, but this difference was temporarily suppressed by human intervention. But as time goes by, this difference will quietly emerge."
"We were all young at the time and didn't understand what love was, nor what marriage was, nor what life was."
"Ask yourself, Wang Qianshan, apart from often rebelling against his father, is usually not bad to me. He has never lost his temper with me, and he is also good to his children. He just grows up and wants to pursue what he wants. "
"So, after he confessed everything to me, there was no reason for me to continue to hold on to him."
Ma Hongwen's face was as calm as a pool of abyss, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
After a long time, Ma Hongwen finally broke the silence: "When did you and Wang Qianshan divorce?"
"November 2001."
"Wang Wenhui and his wife were buried in the flames. When exactly did they die?"
Zhang Xiuwen hesitated for a moment and swallowed: "It was also November 2001."
"Which comes first, which comes last?" Ma Hongwen's tone became more serious.
Zhang Xiuwen looked sad: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law were involved first. As soon as the funeral was over, Wang Qianshan divorced me and eloped with Li Qian."
Ma Hongwen's eyes became even smaller. He leaned forward involuntarily and put his hands on the table: "Did Wang Qianshan confess to you the affairs between Wang Wenhui and Li Qian before Wang Wenhui and his wife died?".
"yes."
"You agreed to divorce right away?"
"yes."
"You, have you ever wanted to leave?
Marriage, and tell Wang Wenhui about Wang Qianshan and Li Qian? "
"No."
"Why?"
"If my father-in-law knew, he would definitely not allow us to divorce. And, given his nature, he would probably beat Wang Qianshan half to death."
If a man confesses to a woman that he has a mistress outside and calmly proposes a divorce, any woman will be disheartened and will no longer have the slightest idea of saving the marriage. Zhang Xiuwen must have had a firm idea of divorce immediately, so she did not choose to tell Wang Wenhui about it.
Ma Hongwen was like a wolf that had smelled meat, and he continued to ask very keenly: "Where is Wang Qianshan? After he confessed to you, did he turn around and confess to Wang Wenhui? With his temperament at this time, the more arranged by Wang Wenhui The less he knows how to do something, the more objectionable it is to Wang Wenhui, the more he will do it."
"It can be said that whatever Wang Wenhui insists on, he will unconditionally oppose, and whatever Wang Wenhui opposes, he will unconditionally insist on."
"Divorcing his first wife and running away with his mistress is such a rebellious thing. I guess Wang Qianshan will not do it secretly behind Wang Wenhui's back. He will most likely have to tell Wang Wenhui personally."
"For Wang Qianshan, it doesn't matter whether Wang Wenhui agrees. What's important is that he wants to declare to Wang Wenhui that he has the final say in his affairs."
"So, did Wang Qianshan also tell Wang Wenhui all these things before the death of the couple?"
