During the first year of the Tang Dynasty, there was a large village in the hinterland of the Central Plains, in which lived an ordinary family with a surname, the family was old and han for many years, the old lady Li was still alive, and the three sons had married and had children, and they did not separate their families, and they all lived together.
On this day, it was Li's birthday, the eldest son went to the market, saw someone selling badgers, bought them back, threw them in the back kitchen, and planned to kill them for the old mother's birthday. The eldest daughter-in-law, Yang Shi, was busy working in the back kitchen, and when she saw that the badger was pregnant, she whispered "sin" in her mouth and quietly released the badger from the back door.
When Li Shi learned about it, he was angry and pointed at Yang Shi and scolded the defeated family girl. Yang Shi softly argued: "Mother-in-law, today is your birthday, I helped you release the badger, it is for you to accumulate virtue and add life." Besides, the badger is pregnant, and it is ominous to kill it. ”
The two concubines were at odds with Yang Shi and took the opportunity to incite the wind and fire and say some cool words. Li Shi's ears were soft, and he listened to his heart, and immediately jumped to his feet and scolded. Yang Shi bowed his head, not daring to argue. Li Shi was still angry, took the chicken feather duster and beat Yang Shi, and drank the eldest son Jia Da Lang to put Yang Shi off.
Jia Da Lang was a provocateur, never dared to go against his mother's wishes, scolded Yang Shi for disobedience, and immediately took a pen and paper, wrote a letter of resignation, and drove Yang Shi out of the house. Yang Shi cried and packed up a few clothes and went back to his mother's house.
When the mother of the mother learned the reason, she angrily scolded the old ladies of the Li family as an, comforted the Yang family, and stayed at home. After a few days, the big-mouthed matchmaker came to the door and wanted to tell Yang Shi to Lao Xiu before continuing the string. Yang Shi cried and refused, she would wait until the day when Li Shi woke up and became the daughter-in-law of the family again. Her parents had to rely on her, and Yang lived in her mother's house without mentioning it.
About two months later, Li Shi went to visit his cousin in a neighboring village, and on the way back, a badger suddenly sprang up and pounced on her. Li Shi hurriedly dodged, sprained his lower leg, and immediately sat on the ground and couldn't get up.
The well-meaning people who passed by carried Li Shi home. Li Shi was old, his bones were aging, and it would be difficult to heal for a while and a half, so he had to lie in bed to recuperate. It was okay to take medicine, and the three sons took turns to fry the medicine to serve, but going to the hut became a big problem, the sons were inconvenient to help, and the two daughters-in-law were unwilling, and they were talking in their mouths and saying extremely ugly words.
Li Shi was originally depressed in his heart, and after listening to the words of complaint, he felt aggrieved and secretly wept. The two sons blamed their wives, but they were scolded by their wives who jumped on their feet and did not dare to speak out. Among the three sons, only the eldest is not afraid of the inside, and the other two sons are afraid of their wives' goods.
After the two daughters-in-law were accused by their husbands, they threw their anger on Li Shi and ran to Li Shi to sprinkle it. Li Shi's legs and feet were inconvenient, so angry that he rolled his eyes and scolded the two daughters-in-law for being disrespectful and unfilial. The two daughters-in-law sneered at each other and laughed: "Yang Shi filial piety, why do you want to drive her away?" It can be seen that you are not a good mother-in-law! ”
This silenced Li Shi unable to speak. To tell the truth, among the three daughters-in-law, they are the most filial to the Yang clan, serving tea and water, and asking for warmth, which is better than kissing the daughter-in-law. If he hadn't driven her away, and if she had waited in front of him, where would he have been spared by these two unruly daughters-in-law? Li Shi was remorseful and called his eldest son to the front and told him about Yang's goodness.
Jia Da Lang sighed and said, "Why don't I know that Yang Shi is good?" I divorced her, and I felt bad in my heart. It was just that the mother's fate was difficult to violate, so she had to submit. Li Shi sighed, no longer speaking, blame only blame, she should not have been angry at the beginning, and now it is difficult to harvest the water. Jia Da Lang said: "I inquired that Yang Shi was not yet married, and if my mother agreed, I would like to invite her back." ”
Li Shi asked worriedly, "Will she come back?" Jia Da Lang said: "She is soft-hearted, I went to beg her." Li Shi did not make a sound, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Early the next morning, Jia DaLang, naked and carrying thorns, came to Yang's home, knelt down in front of Yang's, and said: "At the beginning, my mother's life was difficult to violate, and now I am remorseful, so you can go back with me." Yang Shi lifted up her husband and said, "There is gold under the boy's knees, why are you suffering!" Jia Da Lang couldn't get up on his knees, and Yang Shi had to agree to go back.
Yang Shi returned with Jia DaLang, And Li Shi put down her mother-in-law's shelf and said some soft words, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reconciled as before. With Yang's attendant, Li's injury healed quickly, and after more than a month, he could get out of bed and move around.
Li Shi smiled and said to Yang Shi, "I was worried about money at the beginning, I drove you away for a dog badger, and then the dog badger hurt me, and now the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are reconciled, it seems that the dog badger deliberately did it." The badger hurt me, first, to retaliate against me, and second, to let me see your goodness, and it is also a badger to repay your kindness. ”
Yang Shi smiled and said, "I don't want it to repay the favor, as long as it is safe, it can be regarded as not to disappoint my kindness." After this incident, I hope that the mother-in-law understands the kindness of the daughter-in-law, and in the future, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will never turn their faces again. ”
Li Shi nodded busily and said, "I will never be confused again." To have such a kind daughter-in-law as you is a blessing that I have cultivated in my previous life, and I must cherish this blessing well. If you are confused again, you really don't know what to do. ”
Time flickered, two or three years passed. On this day, Yang Shi woke up and felt dizzy and mentally weak. Jia Da Lang invited a doctor to diagnose and treat him, and the decoction medicine was fed to Yang Shi to take. Who knew that after Yang Shi took the medicine, it became more and more serious, and after a few days, he was already unconscious.
Jia Da Lang was anxious, ran to the county town, and invited a famous doctor with heavy money. After the diagnosis of the famous doctor, he said with a bitter face: "I am terminally ill, I am afraid it is useless." Li Shi cried loudly when he heard this, and knelt down to plead with the famous doctor, who must find a way to save him. The famous doctor thought for a long time, prescribed a prescription, and said: "Eating this medicine may be saved, but it needs a strain of old ginseng that is more than a hundred years old, otherwise, the patient cannot bear the medicinal properties." ”
After a pause, the famous doctor sighed and said: "A hundred-year-old ginseng is rare to see, and it is relatively expensive, ordinary people can't afford it, you should think of a way." Remember, there is no century-old ginseng, do not let patients take this medicine. "Say it, carry the medicine box and leave."
Jia Da Lang frowned, his family really couldn't come up with so much money. Li Shi said: "Even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you must save Yang's life." She gathered the whole family together and planned to sell half of the land and raise money to treat Yang's illness.
The two daughters-in-law immediately jumped up against it, if half of the land was sold, would the family go to drink the northwest wind? They proposed that the family be separated immediately, and after the separation, Jin Dalang's share of the field property would be disposed of by him, and they had no opinion.
Li Shi blamed the two daughters-in-law for being cruel, and everyone quarreled. At this time, the son of the family elder lang ran in with a hundred-year-old ginseng and said, "A dog badger came to the door, put it down and ran." Li Shi wept with joy and rebuked the two daughters-in-law, saying, "You are not even as good as a dog badger." ”
With a hundred years of old ginseng, Yang's illness gradually got better. Li Shi thought about it again and again, divided the family property into three, let the three brothers split the family, and she lived with the eldest son's family. Since then, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been like mother and daughter, and they have never had a red face again.
The ancients said that mistakes can be corrected, and good deeds are great. This story adopts an absurd penmanship, which lies in borrowing things to persuade people to be good, and has nothing to do with feudal superstition.
