The three sons-in-law outside cui yuan came to pay homage to him, and at the banquet, Cui yuanwai let the eldest son-in-law sit on the table, and the second son-in-law sat at the table, but the third son-in-law was supported to the kitchen to eat. After the third aunt suffered from the cold eyes, he worked hard to be strong, and in a few years it was impressive.

It turned out that the eldest son-in-law, Young Master Zhang, and the second son-in-law, Li Xiucai, both of whom had money and power, and only the third daughter was brilliant, but she was partial to the poor Carpenter Chen.

The eldest son-in-law and the second son-in-law have money and power, call each other brothers and brothers, Cui Yuanwai couple, and open their mouths and shut up is a virtuous son-in-law.

The third aunt's family was poor, and the old man and the brothers-in-law looked down on him and called him a carpenter.

On this day, Cui Yuanwai celebrated his 60th birthday, and his daughter and son-in-law came to pay their respects.

The eldest son-in-law, Young Master Zhang, wore a robe and a crown, rode a high-headed horse, and carried a large group of servants, picking and carrying.

The second son-in-law, Li Xiucai, also hired a group of people and horses, with their backs and their horses, to congratulate the old man.

Cui Yuanwai greeted the two virtuous sons-in-law with joy and smiles, and then set up a tea party to entertain, which was very warm.

After a while, Mr. and Mrs. Chen Carpenter also came, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, wearing black line hats, and carrying carpentry boxes.

As soon as he entered the room, Cui Yuanwai said with a look of disgust: "Chen Carpenter, why did you come now?" Everyone is waiting for you alone, don't delay the time, you hurry to repair those bad tables and chairs, we have tea, we are going to eat! ”

Although the carpenter Chen was resentful, but it was difficult to open his mouth, a man squatted in the doorway and knocked, repairing the table and chair.

At the time of the meal, the old man arranged for the eldest son-in-law to sit on the table and the second son-in-law to sit at the table, but he supported the carpenter Chen to the kitchen to eat.

Chen Carpenter was angry and aggrieved, and squeezed himself to sit down between the eldest aunt and the second aunt, and Zhang and Li shook their heads while pretending to give up an empty space.

At this time, the old man narrowed his eyes and said, "Chen Carpenter, do you want to sit on the table, and don't see if you have that face?" ”

A seat, provoked two consecutive hips and giggles, the eldest aunt was even more teasing, casually clipped a few flower-shaped vegetables, placed on the top of Chen Carpenter's head, the second aunt also followed the teasing teasing, the guests in the room all laughed loudly.

Cui Yuanwai felt humiliated and started a fire: "Go away, go away!" I don't have you protégé! ”

Chen Carpenter picked up the carpentry box and dragged his wife home.

Back at home, Chen Carpenter said angrily: "I don't bring such a bully." The wife comforted: "What is the use of being angry alone?" We are not poor, I still have 20 silver here, you take it to study, take a meritorious name, we will earn back the lost face! ”

Chen Carpenter took the silver and looked at his virtuous wife with both eyes, moved to tears.

Since then, Chen Carpenter has studied hard in the cold window, studied from his teacher, and after five years of wind and rain, he finally won the first prize and became an official to the Hanlin Bachelor.

Chen Carpenter wore an official robe and a golden crown to visit his wife, and the family rejoiced.

Coincidentally, a few days later, it was the 70th birthday of the old man. Chen Carpenter took off his official hat and robe, dressed up as if he had been poor before, and took his family to pay homage to the old man.

At dinner, a table of nobles wearing robes and crowns, only Chen Carpenter looked poor and sour. Zhang and Li, who were sitting on the upper seat, glanced at Chen Carpenter and exchanged disgusted glances.

The eldest aunt said to the second aunt: Today's seat is to say four words and eight sentences, and whoever said the right thing is sitting. The second aunt busily echoed: Good, good, very wonderful!

Chen Carpenter was silent and watched the two perform the double reed play.

The great aunt said: I use the word "sitting" in the seat as the title. One on each side, a pile of dirt in the middle, and the wall of dung "stinks" also.

The second aunt said: I have been asked by the word "come" of the guest, one person on each side, one wood in the middle, and the decaying wood cannot be "carved" also.

After saying that, Zhang Li and the two laughed and looked at Chen Carpenter defiantly.

Chen Carpenter said without hurrying: I use the word 'clip' as the title, a small person on both sides, and an adult sandwiched in the middle.

Cui Yuanwai, who had long been angry, blushed and said: The two virtuous sons-in-law, Mo Li, have been out of the house for several years, and they have not been able to do it, but they have learned to slip their tongues and say some unpleasant words.

Before the words could be heard, there was the sound of gongs and drums outside. The old man and Zhang Li thought that there was a distinguished guest, and they rushed out to greet them, only to see the flag against the horse, the gong, and the servant standing on the street.

The leading horseman asked: He Xuren, stand by, and we welcome Lord Chen back home.

Cui Yuanwai and the three sons-in-law were dazed there, and before they could return to God, at this time, Chen Carpenter had already dressed in a crown belt and walked out, and the servants all bowed down together and invited Lord Chen to get on the horse.

Chen Carpenter said to the old man: Father-in-law, you see if I am still qualified to sit at the head of your seat!

Cui Yuanwai and his two sons-in-law stood there in a daze, watching Chen Carpenter riding on a big horse, huddled forward and backward.

Excerpts from the story are adapted from the "Folk Tales" of the coming japanese side. The topic of the poor and the love of the rich was not only found in ancient times, but also today.

Although Chen Carpenter was poor, fortunately, he met a third daughter who was not too poor and loved to be rich, and silently supported him, and he himself worked hard to obtain a meritorious name and was able to raise his eyebrows.

As the old saying goes: People love the rich, dogs bite the poor; the rich are respected, and the poor are bullied.

It has been the case since ancient times to be poor and love the rich, but the rich and noble cannot lose their kindness, and the poor cannot lose their backbone.

It's not so much that others hate the poor and love the rich. Rather, it is natural to say that in the depths of our hearts, "we like the thinking of the rich and hate the thinking of the poor."

Instead of going: jealousy, hatred of the poor and love of the rich, it is better to use that energy in learning, to learn the way the rich think about problems.

Only, with a learning mentality and unremitting self-improvement, will there be a matching "wealth" and life will be clearer.
