The Country Is Overthrown!

In 1927, with the rise of the Northern Expedition, the military discipline of the 33rd Army of the National Revolutionary Army deteriorated. Yan Xiucai was anxious to marry off his daughter who was studying at the Provincial Normal University, but unexpectedly fell into the trap of a matchmaker. Yan Yuhua married Liu Bancheng's tuberculosis son, but when he returned home, his uncle died at his father-in-law's house. At the age of 18, Yan committed suicide by swallowing opium. Fortunately, he was saved by his maid Qiupei. From then on, he took charge of the financial power of the Liu family. During this period, the commissioner's concubine Gu Qing was discovered to be having an affair with the famous actress Meng Xiaolou. Yuhua begged for help and introduced Gu Qing to Luo Dingfang, the owner of the Shanghai silk and satin company. The special correspondent was later killed by Meng Xiaolou. After graduating from Peking University, Bao Guangshi returned to his hometown of Xue County to marry Jin, but he was very dissatisfied with his uneducated wife. Jin was not thinking about finding a second wife for her husband, and Yan was the most suitable candidate. Bao Guangshi married Yan as he wished. Liu Bancheng's family has since withered away. The maid Qiupei also gets married to the housekeeper Yu Deshui. Bao Guangshi and his new wife went to Nanjing to work as a Chinese lecturer. The Japanese invaded Nanjing, and Bao Guangshi returned to Xue County with his wife and children. Unexpectedly, he encountered the hatred of the Jin family. Over there, Meng Xiaolou found Gu Qing in Shanghai, but the impact of Gu Qing's injury was too great and they were unable to renew their relationship. In May 1940, the Japanese army bombed Xue County. Jin, his youngest son Zu Qing, and his housekeeper Yu Deshui were all killed. In 1948, Yan ran away with his children and was arranged by Jin's niece Jinfeng to lose a large amount of gold. The family was completely ruined!
