During the reign of the Sui Dynasty, there was a wealthy merchant named Jia Quan in Yizhou, because his family was quite well-off, he married a wife and a concubine and a two-room wife, and his wife Yang Was a virtuous and kind woman, who was very tolerant of the concubine Yu Clan and was usually a sister.
When Yang was more than eight months pregnant, Jia Quan took over a business and needed to go out.
On this day, he called the Yang family and the Yu family to the hall house, and explained to the family: "I want to go out, you take good care of the lady at home, this is our Jia family's son, there can be no accidents, I try to hurry back before the birth of the child, no matter how late it is, it will not be a few days late." ”
Yu Shi swore and said, "Lord, you can rest assured, I will definitely take good care of my sister and children!" ”
Jia Quan explained a few more words and then took the next person out of the house, he walked for two months, after handling the business, he hurried to go home.
As soon as he entered the house, he asked Xiao Yue, the lady at the door, "Is Madame born?" ”
Xiao Yue nodded, feeling that it was not right, and quickly shook her head.
Jia Quan looked at Xiao Yue's strange expression, and muttered in his heart, this girl is usually quite dexterous, what is wrong with this today? But he was not in the mood to take care of a, but hurried to Madame's room.
Just after walking to the door, Yu Shi stopped him, "Lord, you are back, first go to my room and sit down, I will report to you what has happened in the past two months." ”
Jia Quan didn't stop, and while pushing open Yang's door, he said, "There is something to wait until I see my son." ”
Jia Quan saw Yang Shi sitting on the bed, his eyes were sluggish, holding a white cat in his arms, Jia Quan walked to her side, and she did not react. Jia Quan searched around the bed and did not find the child, so he took Yang's arm and asked, "What about the child?" ”
Yang Shi also just shouted in his mouth: "Child, my child..."
Jia Quan was a bit confused by the second monk, he had only been gone for two months, how did Yang Clan become like this? He looked inquiringly at Yu Shi next to him, hoping that she could explain it to himself.
Yu pointed to the cat in Yang's arms and said, "This is the child she gave birth to." ”
Jia Quan stared at the big eyes and said in surprise, "How is it possible?" How can a man give birth to a cat? ”
Yu Shi began to say to Jia Quan: "One night half a month ago, my sister suddenly had to give birth, and I and the old grandmother of the family had been standing by her side, and the grandmother herself had taken birth, and it was this cat that was born. ”
Jia Quan still didn't believe it, and called Mamma to ask again, and Mamma replied the same way. Moreover, none of the people in the family had ever seen the child, and they all said that madame was holding the white cat the next day.
Jia Quan's heart began to accept this reality, he felt that it must be Yang's problem to give birth to a cat, and he began to be cold to this half-crazy and half-stupid wife, and he was closer to Yu's, who was very good at things.
After Yu Shi succeeded, he began to blow the wind in Jia Quan's ear, "Yang Shi is an ominous person, and now he is half crazy and half stupid, let her occupy the wife position and lose the Jia family's people, just drive her out and help me straighten out!" ”
Jia Quan felt that what Yu Shi said was reasonable, he was also a figure with a head and a face in Yizhou, how could there be a stupid wife in the family, so he agreed to Yu's request and drove Yang Out of the house.
After Yu Became the Right Wife, taking advantage of Jia Quan's lack of attention, he took a large bag of silver to the old woman and explained: "The matter has been completed, you can go home and retire, but this matter must be kept tight,and it cannot be said until death!" ”
The old lady took the silver and nodded, "Madame rest assured, no one knows me when I leave this place, and I won't say half a word." ”
It turned out that that night, Yang Clan gave birth not to a white cat, but to a white and fat boy, because it was night, Yu Clan sent all the beards to sleep, leaving only himself and the old grandmother.
After Yang gave birth to the child, he fainted because of physical weakness, at this time, Yu Shi asked Mamma to wrap the boy up, put it into a wooden basin and throw it into minjiang, and he put the white cat he found into Yang's quilt.
After Yang Shi woke up, Yu Shi and Ma Ma both said that she gave birth to a cat, and she couldn't stand this stimulation and became half crazy and half stupid.
After yang was expelled from the Jia family, there was no place to go, and he wandered on the street, just in time to meet Liu Si holding the child and looking for milk.
Liu Si was a fisherman, and twenty days ago he went to the river at five o'clock in the morning to fish, and not far from going out, he heard the cries of babies on the river. At that time, the sky was just dark, the baby's cry was faint, and Liu Si was still quite nervous in his heart.
When he shook the fishing boat closer, he found a wooden basin floating on the river, and in the basin was a child with a carved jade carving, crying.
Liu Si carefully picked up the child, thinking that he had not been able to marry his daughter-in-law in his thirties, and it was good to pick up a child. Moreover, the child stopped crying in Liu Si's arms for an instant, staring at him with two big eyes.
Liu Si stopped fishing, put the child and the wooden basin on the boat, and shook the boat home. When he got home, he put the child on the bed and quickly boiled some rice soup to feed the child, but the child was too young to eat much, and he had to find some breast milk.
In this way, Liu Si carried the child every day to the East Street and the West Street to find someone to feed the child. On this day, the child was crying on the street, just when he was met by the half-crazy and half-stupid Yang who was driven out, and the Yang family instantly woke up when he heard the child's crying.
Following the sound, she found Liu Si, looked at the child in Liu Si's arms and said timidly: "The child must be hungry, can I feed the child some milk?" ”
Liu Si heard her say that she had milk, just to save him from running around, so he handed over the child to her. When the child arrived in Yang's arms, he not only stopped crying, but also smiled at her, and saw that Yang's heart had melted.
Yang Found a no-one corner to feed the child, reluctantly handed the child to Liu Si, Liu Si looked at the child who was full and asleep, thanked Yang Shi, and then held the child and walked back.
The sober Yang family did not know who she was or where her home was, and she had lost her memory. But she felt that this child was very close, so she inexplicably followed Liu Si all the time.
When Liu Si was about to arrive home, he looked back and saw that Yang Shi had been following him, so he turned to her and asked, "Where do you live?" ”
Yang shook his head and said, "I seemed to have been very confused before I met you, and I woke up when I heard the child's crying, but I don't remember what happened before, I don't know who I am, and I don't know where I live." ”
As soon as Liu Si heard that this was also a poor woman, he said to her: "The child is just short of milk, you should first stay and be a nurse for the child, but I can't afford to pay for the work, I can only manage you to eat and live. ”
Yang Shi saw that Liu Si could take her in, and quickly gave thanksgiving. The sober Yang family was down-to-earth, feeding the children white and fat, and cleaning up Liu Si's home.
Liu Si had no worries, he went out early and returned home every day to go fishing, and his little life was still good. A few years have passed, the child can already walk, but Yang still does not remember who she is, she will take care of the child.
An enthusiastic neighbor gave Liu Si an idea: "Since no one has come to her for two years, it proves that she is also an orphan girl, and you have kindly taken her in for two years, and she regards the child as her own, so it is better that you live with each other and give the child a complete home." ”
Liu Si also felt that in the past two years, Yang's family has managed the family very well, so that he has a sense of home, the original has been worried that the Yang family will come to find, dare not have other ideas, since no one has looked for two years, there should be no one to care about her.
After dinner on this day, the two people accompanied the children to play in the yard, Liu Si told Yang Shi his thoughts, Yang Shi also saw that Liu Si was a hard-working and simple man in the past two years, thinking that he was alone, if it was not Liu Si's shelter, he did not know where he had gone.
In this way, Yang Clan agreed, the two people were bitter people, and there was no ceremony, from two rooms to a room, let the child change his name to Daddy, and the three people became a family.
After a few years of such calmness, the Yang family gave birth to a son to Liu Si, and the life of the family of four was stable and steady. This morning Liu Si went out early to go fishing, two children playing in the yard, at this time came a man named Hanako, looking at the seven-year-old boy at the door, resembling a young self, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
At this time, Yang Shi saw Hanako at the door, so he went to bring a bowl of rice out for him to eat, and Hanako was very surprised when he saw Yang Shi. He just wanted to speak, but found that Yang Shi looked at him with strange eyes and did not seem to know him.
After telling Hanako to finish eating and thanking the Yang family, he left silently, he regretted it, but he also had no face to see the Yang family's mother and son, it was not his own ghost at that time, how could he end up with two people and money. That's right, this hanako is Jia Quan.
It turned out that after Jia Quan straightened out Yu Shi, her greedy nature was revealed, spending money and spending a lot of money, and Jia Quan only lost money in recent years, and the Jia family soon owed a lot of debts.
At this time, Jia Quan received a letter from a stranger, it turned out that after the old woman returned to her hometown, she fell ill within a few years, and wanted to repent at the time of her death, only to tell him that the child born to Yang was not a white cat, but a boy, and it was Yu's idea to let himself be sent away.
When Jia Quan learned of this news, he was very sorry, plus the creditor came to the door every day to ask for money, so he had to sell the house and the Yu family to the creditor, and he asked for food along the street and barely survived.
Write at the end:
There is no regret medicine in the world, nor can you listen to partiality, Jia Quan originally had a rich and happy family, because of the greed of the concubine, which caused Jia Quan to harm his wife and children, but also to harm himself.
Although Liu Si was poor but kind-hearted, he first saved the baby abandoned by his grandmother, and then took in the homeless Yang family, and finally the good people had good rewards, so that he had a wife and a son, and lived a happy and stable life.
Regardless of whether people are rich or poor, they should have a good nature, and they should be jealous of greed and doubt, otherwise they will harm themselves.
