The story takes place during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there is a butcher named Zhou Wuhou in Lufeng Village, Dafu County, whose wife died early, and who lived alone with a son and a daughter, and lived a very hard life.
At the beginning of that time, Zhou Wuhou thought about raising the child no matter what, after a period of time, the burden of raising a baby gradually eroded his ambition, and he decided to find someone to raise the child with.
Soon, Zhou Wuhou found his goal, she was the Zhao widow who sold tofu, the Zhao widow was young and beautiful, and she was very good at things, and Zhou Wuhou was fascinated, and he decided to marry the Zhao widow no matter what.
From that day on, after Zhou Wuhou finished the work in his shop, he often went to help Zhao Widow, and when he came and went, he mixed his face, and Zhao Widow promised to try everywhere with him.
Since he began to pursue Zhao Widow, Zhou Wuhou spent a lot less energy on his children, and the yard of the family was not cleaned, and the yard was a mess.
The first time the widow of Zhao arrived at Zhou Wuhou's home, she turned her head and left after seeing the debris in the yard, and Zhou Wuhou threw her anger on the two children and ordered them to clean the house before they returned.
From that day on, Zhao Widow Dan was not satisfied with any place in Zhou Wuhou's home, Zhou Wuhou would sprinkle her anger on the children and let them tidy up, and although the two children were aggrieved, they did not dare to resist, and life became more and more difficult.
Finally, one day, when The widow Zhao entered Zhou Wuhou's home, she said that Zhou Wuhou's yard was very good, and Zhou Wuhou smiled and felt that everything before was worth it.
At this time, Zhou Wuhou's son very consciously brought a bowl of hot tea to The Widow zhao, but the look in the eyes of the Widow Zhao was full of disgust, and Zhou Wuhou's son was tight in his heart, and accidentally overturned the tea bowl on the body of the Widow Zhao.
Widow Zhao screamed and stood up, slapped Zhou Wuhou's son on the body, she glanced at Zhou Wuhou, and then left the Zhou family, and Zhou Wuhou rushed to chase.
Not long after, the angry and corrupt Zhou Wuhou returned home, beat his son violently, and after the beating, he was still angry, and beat the daughter next to his son again.
The next day, Zhou Wuhou came to Zhao Widow's shop with gifts and told her that the child was too young to mind, and Zhao Widow bluntly stated that she did not like the two children, and asked Zhou Wuhou to choose between her and the child.
Zhou Wuhou returned home in despair, the two children came to beat his back, Zhou Wuhou sighed, went outside to buy a lot of food for the two children, and let them drink a glass of wine with themselves.
Not long after, the two children were drunk and unconscious, and Zhou Wuhou put them in sacks, threw them into the river at night, and then went to find Widow Zhao overnight to explain the situation.
Three days later, Zhou Wuhou married Zhao Widow, and when people asked him where his two children were, he lied about sending them to the countryside, and the other party did not suspect it.
Since that day, Zhou Wuhou and Zhao Widow's health has become worse and worse, not only is their body cold, their limbs stiff, and they don't even have the strength to walk.
Zhou Wuhou entrusted someone to invite Langzhong to himself and his wife, but after Langzhong saw it, he said that he could not do anything, so he asked Zhou Wuhou to ask Gao Ming, and Zhou Wuhou continued to invite Langzhong, but he failed to achieve any effect.
Finally, one day, Zhou Wuhou and Zhao Widow both fell ill, lying on the bed waiting for death to come, at this time, a pair of children of Zhou Wuhou pushed the door in, and the couple saw it and called out a ghost.
The two children said that they were not ghosts, and that they were thrown into the river by Zhou Wuhou that day, and were saved by the river god, who knew that they were furious afterwards and divided a part of their mana into them, letting them breathe for themselves.
After the two of them had the mana, they calculated the pain that Zhou Wuhou and Zhao Widow would experience after that, and they used their mana to make those illnesses come early, and Zhou Wuhou and Zhao Widow would be so sick that they would soon die.
Zhou Wuhou and Zhao Widow's faces changed drastically, begging the two children to save them, but the two children ignored them and turned away, and the next morning, people found that Zhou Wuhou and Zhao Widow died at home, and the death was very tragic.
And their two children returned to the river god, dedicated themselves to serving the river god, and soon learned the skill of the river god, becoming the river god of the other two small rivers, under their governance, the local wind and rain were smooth and the grain was abundant, and it became a famous blessed land.
