Classic story: Stepmother

This happened during the late Qing Dynasty. In the big money house, there is a woman named Li Baohua, after the death of her husband, she is pulling two children to live. She has no clothes to wear in the winter, she thinks of getting clothes for the child, and in the summer there are no shoes to wear, she thinks of getting shoes for the child to wear. Usually there is no food to eat, her east family wants a bite, and the west family borrows a liter to make the two children full.

More than twenty years have passed, the eldest son, let her find a partner to become a family, the second daughter also married into someone else's family. But Li Baohua was still halfway through.

She crossed this halfway, but she did not have any real estate, but lived in a house in zhuangtou. People asked her, why don't she live with her children? She smiled and said, "I can move for a day, so I don't drag the children down for a day." ”

She said that she had lived for many years, and one day, she really couldn't move, and then she remembered her child. He found his son's house and said to his son, "Son, I have lived alone in Zhuangbian for all these years, and now I don't want to live on my own side. ”

The son also had a child, and said to her: "Mom, my family's life is also difficult, you see, now these houses, the children occupy two, we live in two, where do you come to live?" Or you go to the child's aunt's house to see. After all, I am two brothers and sisters. ”

Li Baohua had been thinking about his children all his life, and when his son said this, he thought about it, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll go to your sister's house to see it." ”

Two days later, she came to her daughter's house more than ten miles away. The mother-in-law who has not come to the door for many years has come, and the son-in-law is good, and she also went to buy some good dishes and make them for her to eat. But when he mentioned that he wanted to move in, the face of his daughter and son-in-law changed and said, "Mom, our family is not rich." You see, two children, one wants to talk about family affairs, one wants to study, and the family is also very nervous. Besides, my eldest brother inherited the family's property, so why don't you go to live at home? You go back first, and when I have time to find his theory. ”

Li Baohua listened, the two children did not want her, she turned her head and left. Tears also slowly flowed into my heart. As I walked, I thought, old man, you don't go first, let me suffer so many sins to raise them, and now I don't even have a place to go. Me, I'll go find you.

Li Baohua thought of this and decided to go to her husband's grave. When it was dark, she was really tired, and when she saw that there was a big tree on the side of the road, she sat down and rested on the tree. As soon as I sat down, I was confused, and I saw an old gentleman come to me and say, "Big sister, it's going to be dark, why sit here alone?" ”

Li Baohua said, "Big Brother, I want to go to the old man's house, I am tired when I come here, and I have a rest." ”

The old man said, "It's getting dark, and you won't be able to see the road any later." Where is your home? ”

Li Baohua said, "My family belongs to Qian Dazhuang. How far is it from here? ”

The old gentleman said, "Oh, the money of the big house?" Not far away, there is a mile to the road, but if you walk like this, you will not be able to get home when it is dark. Where did you come from? Is there no one in your house? Seeing that you are not young, why don't they pick up and drop off? ”

A word speaks of Li Baohua's sore spot. She said while she was in tears: "Big brother, it is not good for you to say things to you at home." I'll go on my own. He stood up as he spoke.

The old man said, "If you don't say it, don't say it, your wife will always know that he should come and pick it up, right?" ”

Li Baohua said: "The old man has been gone for decades. After he left, I pulled his two children up, but they did this to me. So I wanted to go to the old man and ask him, why did his children treat me like this? ”

"Oh, I see, you died decades ago, right?" His two children are not your own, they are left by his ex-wife. Alas, these two karmic obstacles, since I was a child, often rode on me to play, and once it was not you, they almost fell to their deaths. Now the two of them do not repay the favor and still treat you like this. Well, I'll take you to punish these two things. The old gentleman said angrily.

Li Baohua said, "Big Brother, the punishment will be forgotten." After all, they are all children..."

The old man shook his head and said, "Poor parents in the world, but they are not born like this, your heart is too good." Well, you can go to your husband's place, he is not far ahead, your two filial children, I will teach them a lesson. ”

"Big brother, your surname, don't punish them too much." Li Baohua said with tears.

The old man said, "My surname is Oak, you can go with confidence, with your words, I will not do anything to them." ”

Li Baohua turned around and walked in the direction the man was pointing...

The next day, people found that there were three people in front of Qian Lao'er's grave, one was Li Baohua lying there, and it was her children who were kneeling on the other side...

Not far away there was an old oak tree, gently swaying its leaves, as if to tell people something...

Friend, you say, what kind of person is this stepmother?
