During the Kangding period of the Song Dynasty, there was a zhuang family ten miles west of Jeju, saying that the family actually had only one son and an old mother, and the father was beaten to death in the early years for preventing bandits from coming to the house to grab grain.
The son's name is Li Zichang, the original family planted an acre and three points of land, not rich but can barely hukou, Li father has no particularly high requirements for his son, only hope that he can get a wife at the age of starting a family, and then grow up healthily, as for the rest there are no requirements.
But even in the society at that time, sometimes it was impossible to meet, plum for fifteen years old in the winter, the snow was about to close the mountain, on this day a group of bandits suddenly came to plum changing home, asking to hand over the family's grain so that they could survive the winter.
This bandit wants grain for the winter, but this plum for the family also has to survive the winter, but because of the fear of the bandits, the father of the plum change still took out a little grain, and the bandits directly snatched it all away when they saw it.
Li Zi exchanged his father to say that this bandit just did not enter the oil and salt, and finally Li Zi changed his father and was forced to be anxious, and directly fought with the bandits, and finally the result was that he was beaten to death by a group of bandits, and the grain was also robbed.
This front foot is still a living person, but the back foot is separated by yin and yang, Li Mu can't accept such a blow, directly fell ill, and the fifteen-year-old Plum was replaced by the only man in the family.
He buried his father while crying, and after that, he carried the care of his mother on his young shoulders and the livelihood of farming, struggling to maintain his life.
After five years of such a day, the twenty-year-old plum has reached the age of starting a family, and the mother took his hand and said guiltily: I am not capable, after your father left, not only failed to help you, but also dragged you down, and now that you have reached the age of becoming a family, I can't get you a daughter-in-law.
Li Zichang heard her mother's words and said directly: I have been together with my mother, the matter of marrying a wife, let's talk about it later, the old mother is very relieved to hear her son's words, but her heart is also more guilty.
However, the year of twenty years of age has become a year of great luck for plum exchanges.
Li Mother's illness is good and bad, Li Zi is afraid that he will leave one day, so he is extra filial piety, this day he wants to buy some meat for his mother in the town, although life is very bitter, but Li Zi has never been ambiguous about his mother.
When he arrived in town to buy meat and passed through an alley, he found two young men forcing a girl into a corner, as if to do something to the girl.
The honest plum change, after his father was beaten to death, is most unaccustomed to this kind of bullying practice, and it is even more impossible to ignore it when he meets it today. He was just about to shoot when he found that the girl had been taken away by two people.
Looking at the two men dressed like a subordinate, Li Zi changed to understand which young master was robbing the woman, and he quietly followed and found that the two had entered a remote courtyard.
He forgot to look at the past, he suddenly clenched his fists, the green tendons were exposed, and the other person in this courtyard was the same bandit who had killed his father a few years ago, and he was preparing to go up to take revenge, but he thought that he was not the opponent of the three people at all.
So he hung the flesh in his hand on a tree not far from the courtyard, and then made a deliberate noise, and then quickly hid, and the two men walked toward the tree, and looked at the flesh on the tree and prepared to take it.
Plum changing saw that the time was ripe, quietly slipped into the courtyard, at this time the girl in the house has begun to cry, Plum Chang took a wooden stick in the courtyard, slowly pushed the door in,
The bandit was anxious and naturally did not notice the plum change that came in, and the plum change saw that this evil man hated it to the bone, and he picked up the stick and knocked it the bandit's head, and the bandit leader fainted on the spot.
Plum changed fear of the outside thugs come back, picked up the girl from the back door and ran, the girl is not a fat person, plus plum change has also been planted for many years, has a body of strength.
In the panic, Li Zi changed and picked up the girl and ran in the direction of the house, knowing that he was really tired, so he put the girl in his arms down, and looked behind to make sure that no one was catching up before crouching down and gasping for breath
This girl was also dazed, and before she could react to what was going on, she had already thought about it, if she had just been succeeded by that person, she would not live, and as a result, she would not be overwhelmed by being saved for a while
At this time, the plum change also eased up, and he said to the girl: Girl, it's all right, you hurry home, this is a famous bandit on our mountain, you go back and hide, you can't go out alone in the future.
Li Zi thought that the girl would leave after thanking her, but she cried and said: Where can I not know this bandit, but can this family still go back? Going back is not being sent back.
Plum change is a bout of confusion to listen, how can this family not go back, what to go back to be sent back.
The girl cried and told the reason for the incident.
It turned out that this girl's name was Chen Meilan, and the bandit just now wanted to marry the second lady of the first room, saying that as long as the bandit could see it, the bandit would give a generous dowry, and chen Meilan's parents let the bandit come to the house to see Chen Meilan after hearing it, and as a result, the bandit also looked at Chen Meilan.
This bandit is a well-known bully, and it is a second room, Chen Meilan is naturally unwilling, but her parents are moved by the rich dowry, and they must let Chen Meilan marry.
On this day, Chen Meilan planned to escape, who knew that just after running to the town, he met the bandits' men, which led to the scene that Li Zi saw.
Li Zi's eyes widened after listening, he couldn't believe that this was something that his parents could do, and he didn't care about his daughter's happiness for money, but there was nothing he could do to change the simple plum except to hate Chen Meilan's parents.
Suddenly Chen Meilan said that she wanted to follow the plum to change home, this plum was confused when she heard it, and she saw that it was late in the day with a yellow flower girl to go home, and if this was passed out, she would not be able to say it clearly.
In fact, at this time, Chen Meilan already had plums in his heart, so he looked at the plums to change the appearance of embarrassment, and deliberately provoked: Forget it, you are afraid of affecting you, after all, this bandit is not easy to provoke, I Chen Meilan's life is thin and I can't complain about others, so I went up the mountain to follow the bandits.
Li Zichang is naturally not afraid of being involved, and as soon as Chen Meilan said this, he quickly said: It is not what you said, I also have a hatred with this bandit, so you should follow me back.
After returning home, Li's mother saw her son bring back a big girl, although she was very surprised, but she also knew the quality of her son, and Li Zi told her mother what happened.
When Mother Li heard that it was the bandit again, she gritted her teeth in hatred.

In the evening, Mother Li and Chen Meilan told that Father Li was killed by bandits, and Chen Meilan also sympathized with their mother and son
The next morning, just after the light of the day, Li Ziyi went to Chen Meilan's parents' house to explain the situation according to her mother's wishes, and asked Chen Meilan's father to pick her up.
Li Zi changed to Chen Meilan's home and told Chen Meilan that she had spent the night in her own home and is still in her own home, Chen Meilan's parents were shocked, this daughter spent the night at another man's house, if you let the bandits know that not only can not get the dowry but also may cause trouble, so they rushed to Li Zi's home to take their daughter back.
If Chen Meilan's parents had to marry their daughter to the bandits, then he would have no way to save it once, not every time.
Who knew that a few days later, Chen Meilan's father came to the door, and for Chen Meilan's father to find the door, let Li Zi change his mind for a while, he asked Chen Meilan's father what was wrong?
Who knew that Chen Meilan's father said that chen Meilan of her family wanted to marry herself, and Chen Meilan said that she and Plum had exchanged husband and wife, and she could only marry Plum.
Li Zi was even more confused after listening, Chen Meilan did live in his house for one night, but this couple is pure nonsense, what kind of medicine is sold in this Chen Meilan gourd.
Seeing that Li Zi did not speak, Chen Meilan's father asked: Now the little girl has to marry you, if she does not marry, she will seek short-sightedness, and we will not want a dowry.
The daughter-in-law who thought about it day and night did not expect to come so easily, Li Zichang quickly agreed, and Chen Meilan's father immediately said that the fifteenth day of this month is a good day, and when the time comes, it will be enough to marry Chen Meilan.
But after the happy plum change, more and more feel that something is wrong, this is since ancient times is the man to the woman's home to propose, how there is a woman to the man's home to propose, secondly, Chen Meilan's father loves money as fate, how suddenly do not want the dowry. Despite all these doubts, Li Zichang still felt that he would marry the bride on time.
The night before the bride was married, when Li Zichang was passing through the village after finishing his work in the field, he suddenly found a fox on the side of the road, and called to him non-stop, he walked over to see that there was a big dirt pit next to it, there was a small fox in the pit, the little fox fell into the pit and could not climb up, so the fox mother begged for help on the side of the road, at this time the plum changing just passed by, he did not want to go directly down to pick up the little fox, and then directly left.
The next day, before dawn, Li Zi called on the neighbor to carry the palanquin, and he set off on a donkey, and as he walked, he suddenly heard someone calling him, and he turned his head to see that it was the fox he had saved last night.
He fixed his gaze on it, and the fox actually spat out words, only to see the fox say: Benefactor, this marriage cannot be married, the bride is not your wife, there is a trap, it is better to be careful.
Plum changed before he was about to ask why, suddenly felt a pain in his ass, opened his eyes and saw that the person was already on the ground, it turned out to be a dream, but this dream was very strange.
Li Zichang felt that things were too weird, so he told the dream and everyone, let everyone be clever, and don't make any mistakes when the time comes.
When it was dawn at Chen Meilan's house, when the bride got on the palanquin, Li Ziyi found that the person's feet and head were much larger than Chen Meilan's, but he did not say anything, but just gave the others a look.
Everyone will realize the meaning of plum change, the palanquin has not gone far, everyone put the palanquin down, the plum changer opened the car curtain and pulled open the red cover. Sure enough, the bride of the palanquin was actually the bandit leader.
The people went up and directly tied up the bandit leader, and the bandit leader saw that his measurement had been recognized, and there was nothing to hide.
It turned out that on the day that Chen Meilan was taken back, the bandit leader went to the door and asked what was going on, Chen Meilan's father went out with the tray, so the bandit leader asked Chen Meilan's father to go to the plum to change the family to propose relatives, and then he pretended to be a bride, and when the plum changed the family, he was arrested by his men to change the plum and the mother of Li, who knew that the halfway was recognized by the plum change.
After Li Zi changed the bandit leader, she returned to Chen Meilan's house, Chen Meilan's father was shocked to see the bandit leader tied up, and Chen Meilan actually had plum change in her heart, so she directly sat on the palanquin that Li Zi changed and married.
After returning home, Li Ziyi directly handed over the bandit leader to the official government, and the bandits who had been rampant for many years were wiped out and Li Zichang's revenge for many years was also repaid.
Since then, Li Zichang and Chen Meilan and Li Mother's family have lived happily ever after.
Written in the end: Plum exchange can be described as taking luck, such conditions can also marry a daughter-in-law, only because of a hero to save the United States, but also repaid the revenge of killing his father for many years.
In fact, all this is causal, Plum exchange because of filial piety to buy meat, because of kindness to save people, everything is he planted the cause of goodness, so later got the fruit of goodness.
As for whether the dream is true, in fact, it is no longer important, what is important is that the plum has rescued the trapped fox, and we can think that the fox is repaying the favor.
Because kindness is the best luck.
