Once upon a time, there was a beautiful woman of the Lee clan, whose husband died early, leaving her and her son to live together.
Li Shi is beautiful, and it is easy for her to marry people with her children, but Li Shi said that she will not marry again in her life and will wholeheartedly cultivate her son Zhang Yaozu.
The son is also more contentious, reading very seriously, Li shi relies on sewing and patching people, doing female work, and earning money to read to his son.
Time flies, in the blink of an eye, the son has grown up, and in the year of the big move, the son went to Beijing to catch the exam, and Li Shi was looking forward to his son's high school title at home and returning to his hometown.
Looking back at Zhang Yaozu, the first exam was not prepared enough, unfortunately the name fell to Sun Shan, he felt that his mother had worked hard for himself to study, did not take the meritorious name, had no face to go home, stayed in the capital, and vowed to mix up before going back.
In ancient times, it was not like there are mobile phones now, so you can just make a phone call to notify you. Zhang Yaozu did not go back, nor did he carry a letter to the family, poor his mother Li Shi was almost bleeding at home, and he did not see his son return.
The son did not come back, the leader talked about it, some said that his son may be a high school champion, disgusted with the old woman did not come back, some said that the road is not peaceful, on the way to catch the exam on the murder may not be certain, anyway, say anything, Li Shi listened to the heart more and more panicked.
Zhang Yaozu had no news for three consecutive years, Li Shi's heart was broken, she only thought that her son was dead! At this time, the bachelor of the same village who has long been in love with Li's, the matchmaker proposed to The Li family, a woman of the Li family is also too lonely and too bitter, thinking about it, it is better to take advantage of the fact that she is not old, find a companion to live a few years of happy life, so she agreed to the bachelor's marriage proposal.
Just when Li Shi was preparing to marry a bachelor, his son Zhang Yaozu suddenly returned from high school! Lee was surprised and delighted and resentful! She hated her son, and for three years she had heard nothing, causing her to look forward to it every day, night and night, etc., breaking her heart and drying up her tears, and her son did not know how to understand his mother, how to worry about his stomach and stomach, and it was difficult to sleep and eat.
Zhang Yaozu returned to his hometown with beautiful scenery, and when he learned that his mother was about to remarry, he was furious and reprimanded his mother for not keeping the way of women, and did not know what is called "good horses do not deserve two saddles" and "good women do not marry two men"? Li Shi listened to her son scolding herself, she was anxious and angry, she asked her son: After three years, why can't you carry a letter to the family? Do you know how you survived these three years for your mother?
Neither mother nor son obeyed the other, quarreled and dispersed without joy. Later, Li Shi first served softly, she said to her son, so let's go, whether the mother wants to marry or not depends on Providence, I raise you, and now you also do your best filial piety, wash the clothes for the mother, hang them together outside, if it is dried within two days, the mother will not marry, if the clothes are not dry within two days, then I will remarry.
Zhang Yaozu looked at the sky, the big sun was shining on the earth viciously, the clothes were washed for a while and then dried, he said good, a word is certain! When Zhang Yaozu washed his mother's clothes and hung them outside, the sky that was originally clear and clear, the wind and clouds suddenly changed! After a while, thunder roared and heavy rain poured down.
The heavy rain fell for three days and three nights without stopping, and Li's clothes naturally did not dry, so Li finally got married. Later generations often used "it will rain in the sky and the woman wants to marry" as a metaphor for what has happened, helpless.
