In ancient times, there were two families living next to each other, one rich and one poor. Once, the rich wanted to buy the house of the poor at a low price, but the poor did not agree, and the rich obstructed it. Soon, the poor became even poorer and had to sell to the rich at low prices. Who knows, on the day of the rich family's new home, the new and old houses were burned to the ground, and the rich family suddenly woke up.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were two families in Ye County, Shandong, one surnamed Jia and one surnamed Dong, the Jia family was rich, and the Dong family was poor. Once, the rich Jia family wanted to expand their living area, so they wanted to buy the house of the Dong family of the poor family next door.
However, Jia Mou, who is usually unkind to the rich, does not want to buy Dong's house according to the market price, so he tries his best to suppress the price with the Dong family.
However, the Dong family is not rich, and the owner Dong is not stupid, so he does not agree with anything, which makes Jia very angry.
Dong wants to sell to others, so that the price will be higher, and his family's life will be better. However, Jia Mou, who is strong and domineering, has long determined that he wants the Dong family's house, and it must be low-priced, so he obstructs it and obstructs the Dong family from selling the house.
In this way, after a long time, the Dong family, which was originally poor, could not afford to drag it out at all, and the Dong family, who could not support it, was even poorer, and in order to survive, the Dong family had to tearfully sell the house to Jia at a low price.
The Jia family finally got their wish, and after buying the house, Jia rebuilt and renovated the dilapidated house to make it look new and more magnificent.
More than two months later, Jia's new house was finally rebuilt.
In order to show celebration, Jia Mou set up a feast, slaughtered pigs and sheep to celebrate the completion of the new residence, and sacrificed ancestors, ghosts and gods.
Unexpectedly, during the sacrifice ceremony, Jia Mougang happily lit the paper money, and suddenly a fierce wind blew up, rolling the paper money onto the house, and suddenly the flames rose in the air, and the fire instantly became bigger and bigger.
The burned out soot immediately sprinkled down like black rain, at an astonishing and frightening speed. Everyone was shocked by this situation, and just after the reaction, the Jia family's new house had already been burned down.
Not only that, Jia's old house was also affected, not spared, because the new and old houses were connected into one, the new house was burned, the old house also burned up, in a few minutes, the new and old houses were all reduced to ruins...
And what makes people wonder is that when the fire burns, the people do not stand idly by, but rush to put out the fire, take the quilt, take the water, and so on. But the master Jia Mou instead beat his chest to stop everyone, why is this?
Jia shouted at the panicked people: "It's useless! No need to save, no need to save, I seem to see the old father of the Dong family who died in the firelight, he should be that he hates me and bullies his son, and he is determined to retaliate against me, the fire cannot be extinguished..."
Then, Jia Mou cried to himself again: "I did something wrong, I did something wrong, now it's too late to regret it, no need to put out the fire, I'm sorry for the Dong family, I'm sorry for the Dong family..."
After this fire, Jia finally woke up and was very upset about his mistakes, he invited Dong to come, gave him 20 acres of good land on the spot, and wrote down the land title, signed the pledge, and also apologized to Dong for kneeling.
Since then, Jia has also abandoned evil and followed good, no longer bullying his neighbors, no longer being unkind to the rich, but becoming enthusiastic, often doing his best to help people in the four townships and eight neighbors, and eventually he was able to live a long life and a good death.
@Yu says time
The above folk tale is adapted from Ji Xiaolan's "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", Jia Mou is rich and unkind, forcibly occupies the poor people's houses at a low price, and finally gets it as desired. But when celebrating his new home, the rich man's old and new houses were burned to the ground, when he finally woke up, realized his mistakes, and finally changed his ways and died well.
People who have lived in the countryside have a deep understanding that the contradiction between the Jia family and the Dong family is like the current rural neighborhood dispute, but the reality is not so mysterious, after all, there is an artistic charm of the modification and processing component.
However, instead of Jia Mou saying that he saw Dong Mou's deceased father in the firelight, it is better to say that he still has a trace of conscience in his heart and regrets his unscrupulous behavior, so he thinks that he has evil retribution in a trance. This also explains why he stopped everyone from fighting the fire, which is actually to let himself get the punishment he deserves.
Jia eventually paid for his own viciousness, and later he also abandoned evil and followed good, helped the victimized Dong family, and also helped neighbors in difficulty, and finally lived a long life to end well.
Thus, the story also reveals this immutable truth:
Good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, not by not being repaid, the time has not yet come. At all times, we must do it, but do good deeds, do not ask about the future; do not do it with good and small, and do not do it with evil!
Kindness is always the strongest voice in this world, the highest point of the human soul, only with kindness, the world will become more and more beautiful!
