Li Feng began to sell pork with his parents at the age of eight, and his father did not want his son to work as a butcher for a lifetime, so he sent his son to school, hoping that his son would succeed in his studies in the future, and find an official and a half-job.
Li Feng has been smart since childhood, and his mind is also very flexible, which is deeply loved by Mr. Private School, and when he grows up, he goes to take the imperial examination, but he did not expect to fall off the list, which became a joke after the tea and dinner in the town.
He was depressed and drunk every day, and his appearance made his mother wash her face with tears every day, and his father could not look down, so he visited the door and invited the old man surnamed Li to his home to solve his son's problems.
Elder Li is a highly respected private school in the town, who once assisted the father of the current emperor, and later returned to his hometown and opened a private school in the town.
After Mr. Li's enlightenment, Li Feng began to cheer up, took over the pork shop in his father's hand, and started to sell pork.
Li Feng has read books, smart mind, kind, soon the family business is booming, at the age of twenty, he will expand the business, not only sell pork, but also do the sale of brine pork feet, brine chicken, because he made brine dishes delicious, buy people to make more money naturally, so he used the money he saved to open a small restaurant, but also became a small famous businessman in the town.
Going around, Li Feng reached the age of marriage, and with the help of the matchmaker, he took a fancy to a girl surnamed Wang. This girl's name is Qiu Yue, her skin is white, her beauty is as beautiful as a flower, she is the daughter of a family that sells soy milk, her family is relatively poor, and there is a younger brother who is only six or seven years old, named Wang Chuyao.
For this marriage, Father Li and Mother Li gladly agreed, and after the big wedding, the couple also moved into the new yard.
Wang Qiuyue is gentle in nature, although the family is poor, but also read some books, usually at home in addition to raising some flowers and grass to arrange the yard or do some female needlework.
There is a beautiful wife in the family, the shop business is booming, and Li Feng's life is envied by many friends. But there are always times when husband and wife quarrel, because Li Feng is busy with business, often leaves early and returns late, often ignores his wife, plus a year, his stomach is not moving, Wang Qiuyue is even more lonely.
So under the discussion between her and Li Feng, her younger brother Wang Chuyao was taken to the town and successfully entered the private school, which made Wang Qiuyue feel very relieved.
After three years, Wang Qiuyue's stomach still did not move, and gossip began to spread around the neighbors, which made Wang Qiuyue extremely aggrieved, and every night he covered the quilt and secretly cried.
As a woman, Mother Li understood the grievances in her daughter-in-law's heart, so she took advantage of her son's time at home to advise in private: "Feng'er, the mother understands that you are doing business for this family, but Qiu Yue is your wife, you have to worry more about her feelings, you have been married for three years, Qiu Yue's stomach has not moved, the words of the neighbors are ugly, Qiu Yue has been bored in her heart, although she does not say, but her heart is uncomfortable." You go back and comfort her and take more time to accompany her. ”
Li Feng listened to his mother's words, thinking that his mother's words really made sense, so he bought some jewelry and rouge gouache on the street on the way home, and bought some books and toys for his wife's brother.
As soon as he walked to the door, Li Feng heard the neighbors talking, and learned from the words that they were talking about why Wang Qiuyue could not conceive a child, whether she was sick and could not have children, and was abandoned. Or whether he has any unspeakable hidden root of the disease, or whether he is hiding in the golden house outside, so Wang Qiuyue has not been able to conceive a child.
This inexplicable remark made Li Feng very angry, and immediately reprimanded the women who chewed the root of their tongues. If he hadn't bumped into this tonight, he wouldn't have known that he and his wife were being said to be like this. So he made up his mind to rest at home for a few days to dispel these false rumors.
Back at home, Li Feng gave gifts to his wife, and after comforting her, he rested at home for some days.
A month later, Wang Qiuyue became pregnant, and the Li family was so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut, and Li Feng's time in the shop was even less, and he often accompanied his wife at home.
Pregnant women taste all biting, on this day, Wang Qiuyue wanted to eat the sour plum of South Street, Li Feng did not say a word and went out to buy.
On the way home, Li Feng, who was carrying sour plums, went into the jewelry store to buy a jade hairpin and instructed the boss to customize a long-life lock.
People are in good spirits every time they are happy, Li Feng does not bother with the price, and he pays very happily.
After coming out of the jewelry shop, I didn't take a few steps before I heard a commotion in the crowd in front of me, accompanied by angry scolding and the crying of children.
Li Feng also liked to watch the hilarity, so he went up to see, but he didn't expect that it was a man full of flesh who was selling his daughter.
From the surrounding crowd, I learned that this man was a farmer who cut firewood, the father of the little girl, this father was lazy and lazy, the money earned from chopping firewood was often used to buy wine and drink, and when he was drunk, he whipped his daughter, and he also owed a bunch of gambling debts.
The little girl's face was dirty and dark, her body was thin, her clothes were tattered patches, and a gust of wind could blow her down. Looking more closely, she had different shades of bruises on her body.
Li Feng remembered his unborn child and immediately felt pity.
Afraid that the little girl would escape, the farmer tightened the hemp rope tied to her wrist again: "Today this little girl whoever gives ten pieces of silver is whoever is clean, still a chick!"
The little girl's mouth was stuffed with cloth, her eyes were red, and her hands were constantly twisting to try to break free of the hemp rope on her wrists, but she did not expect that the farmer saw it and directly gave the little girl a slap, her small face instantly became red and swollen, and the whole person fell directly to the ground.
Li Feng couldn't look at it any longer, this little girl looked like she was eight or nine years old, and if she fell into the hands of those evil people with unhealthy hearts, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to survive this year.
Li Feng made a decision in his heart, selling this little girl was to accumulate virtue for his unborn child, and it was not a good thing for one more little girl to serve his wife.
In this way, Li Feng bought the little girl with ten pieces of silver and led her into the house.
After explaining the ins and outs of the matter, I thought that I would be opposed by my wife Wang Qiuyue, but I did not expect that Wang Qiuyue was not only not angry, but also praised Li Feng for doing the right thing, cleaned up the little girl, and also sorted out a clean room for her.
Wang Qiuyue gave the little girl a name, and with her own surname, she was called Wang Jing.
In this way, the little Wang Jing became a member of the family, not only helping to take care of the pregnant Wang Qiuyue every day, but also taking care of the family's food and hygiene in an orderly manner, which made Li Feng feel very pleased, and every night he took time to teach her to read and read, while Wang Qiuyue embroidered the tiger shoes and tiger hat worn by the baby.
A few months later, Wang Qiuyue gave birth, smoothly gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, Li Feng was very happy, and held a full moon feast after the child's full moon.
However, within a few months, Li Feng's business went wrong, because a new brine shop was opened in the east of the street, the price was low, and his business was robbed, and the successive losses made him very frustrated.
On this day, he went to a tavern to drink and relieve his boredom, but unexpectedly he was attracted by the conversation at the neighboring table, and the two talked very quietly, as if they were talking about him, and from time to time there was laughter.
Li Feng did not make a sound, but instead ordered small wine and small dishes to eat while listening to their conversation.
"Tell you, Li Feng, who started by selling pork, has recently lost money in his business, and he is afraid that he is going to fall."
"That's not it, he's already fired several workers, he can't even pay his wages, so how did someone who could do business before fall to where he is now?"
"I heard that the newly opened brine shop in the east of the street robbed him of his business, and the taste was exactly the same as Li Feng's family, and the price was still low." I heard that it was Wang Jing, the handmaiden he saved, who bought the secret recipe of brine meat to someone else, and prepared to save money and run away. ”
"Impossible."
"How can it be impossible? People are selfish, and Wang Jing is not Li Feng's daughter. ”
These words listened to Li Feng directly froze, he did not dare to believe that the little girl he saved would betray himself, and then went to the newly opened brine shop in the east of the street to buy some brine meat to taste, the taste was indeed exactly the same as his own, and his heart was suddenly cold.
Li Feng came home at night, he had no joy or sorrow, just entered the house, he saw The small body of Wang Jing holding a plate of brine meat eyebrows opened his eyes and smiled: "The old man is back, come to dinner, Madame is waiting for you in the living room to come back for dinner." ”
Li Feng, who had read the book, did not immediately shout at Wang Jing, looking at this little girl who had betrayed himself, he planned to sell her to get rid of the troubles.
The next day, Li Feng took Wang Jing out on the pretext of taking her to visit merchants. After three days and three nights, they came to another town.
The town was very lively, and the young Wang Jing was very curious about everything around her, and she looked east and west and saw a scavenger grandmother not far away being bullied by a group of small.
She hurriedly stepped forward, expelled the little with a slingshot, and saved grandma who was a scavenger, and Li Feng also trotted forward, helped grandma up, and gave some broken silver. The elderly grandmother was moved to tears, and her mouth kept saying that good people have good rewards.
However, this grandmother became more and more familiar the more she looked at it, and he suddenly remembered, isn't this grandmother the stable wife who delivered her wife before? How did it get to this point?
It turned out that the grandmother's family had a gambling son, who had lost the family's property, and the debt collectors could not collect the debt, so the group sent their sons to the official palace, the house was occupied, and the grandmother could only go to the street to beg, wandered to this place, and lived in the broken temple.
Seeing that Grandma hadn't eaten all day, Wang Jing said, "Lord, I see grandma didn't eat anything, you and grandma are waiting here, I'll go buy some meat buns." ”
After Wang Jing left, Grandma spoke, "Xiao Jing is really a good child." ”
Li Feng smiled bitterly: "Not necessarily." ”
Grandma: "Why?" ”
Li Feng: "This child betrayed me and sold my secret recipe for brine to others, and this secret recipe, only me and my wife and Xiao Jing know, my wife will not betray me, who else but Xiao Jing?" ”
Grandma: "Then why did you take her out?" ”
Li Feng: "I plan to sell her and go back on my own, across the long distance, I can't see and don't worry." ”
Grandma: "This child will not betray you, it is even more impossible to sell, when your wife gave birth to a child, she was busy, her hands were burned by the firewood when she boiled water, she did not hum, I am old, I see many people, this little girl has a clear eye, will not do sorry for you, maybe someone is using the little girl, provoking the relationship between you, first check it out and then it is not too late." ”
Li Feng fell into deep thought, what Grandma said was indeed reasonable, and temporarily dismissed the idea of selling the child.
After settling Grandma in place and handling business matters, the two set off to go home, but this time home was different from before, because Li Feng dressed up as a busy-faced and bearded uncle, while Wang Jing dressed up as a little boy.
Although Wang Jing did not know why, he obediently did so. The two returned to town, and instead of going home immediately, they rented two inns.
In order to find out why his secret recipe was leaked, Li Feng ambushed the brine shop on the east side of the street for three days, squatting for several days in succession, and finally saw the owner of the brine shop and a young man walk out of the back door and talk happily.
Li Feng's eyes widened in disbelief, this man was actually his cousin Chen Lei!
From the conversation between the two, it was learned that the cousin secretly recorded the process of making brine meat every day, and then sold it to the owner of the brine shop to earn a lot of silver, and found someone to spread rumors, saying that it was the secret recipe leaked by Wang Jing, then Wang Jing would definitely be expelled from the house. Although Wang Jing is young, he is a standard little beauty, and he can also sell a lot of money, which can not only wash away his suspicions, but also earn double money.
The more Li Feng listened, the more angry he became, he was usually not thin to Chen Lei, and seeing that he was smart, he handed over half of the business to him to take care of, and he did not expect that he had actually done such a thing. Thinking like this, Li Feng only felt that there were also big problems in the account books.
Back in the shop, Li Feng began to check the accounts overnight, and this investigation found that this cousin had actually embezzled a lot of money.
Chen Lei saw that things were not good, and immediately hired a few people to break into Li's house at night, preparing to kidnap Wang Qiuyue and the child who had just reached the full moon as a threat chip.
In the middle of the night, Chen Lei broke into Li's house with a large knife and a chaotic night, and the cries of the children and Wang Qiuyue's terrified shouts woke up Wang Qiuyue, and Wang Jing got up to see that these people had kidnapped the child and the wife.
Wang Jing did not hit the grass to scare the snake, flipped over the roof, and took out the Menghan medicine and sprinkled it on a large area.
Menghan medicine has the medicinal properties of making people unconscious, those people are soon weak and weak, they can't make up their strength, before they reach the door, they fainted and fell to the ground, and Wang Jing successfully saved the unconscious wife and child.
As for the few who had infiltrated the Li family, they were dragged to the firewood room and locked up.
It turned out that Wang Jing had long known about the leaked news of the brine meat, and she was not welcomed since she was a daughter, and even suffered from her father's cold eyes.
Other children were bullied and had their parents come forward to protect her, and she was not only bullied by other friends, but also had to accept her father's insults and beatings when she returned home. Such a life has made her develop a sensitive and insecure character.
Until the day she was saved by Li Feng, Wang Qiuyue's care and affection, Li Feng taught her to read and write, she felt this feeling of being loved.
So she secretly swore that she would repay their family well, so even if she faced the evil man with a big knife tonight, she was not afraid.
Li Feng was very grateful to Wang Jing for saving his wife and children, and he was glad that he had listened to his grandmother's words and did not sell Wang Jing, but the consequences were really unimaginable.
The world is all about karma, and if you have every good heart, one day there will be blessings.
At dinner that day, Li Feng asked Wang Jing to come to the table to eat, and in front of everyone, he threw Wang Jing's deed of sale into the brazier.
Li Feng looked at Wang Jing: "Xiao Jing, count that you should be ten years old, although you are young, from now on, you are free, but I want you to be my daughter, if you want, then call us a father and mother." Two children will be your younger siblings. ”
Wang Jing was first stunned, then wept with joy, and then shouted a father and mother, after which Wang Jing changed his name, called Li Jing.
After Li Feng sent his cousin Chen Lei to prison, he painstakingly developed the taste of brine meat again, but he did not expect that the taste was better than before, and the business began to get on the right track, and he and his family lived a happy life.
Folks, Li Feng is a reader and a very kind person, otherwise he would not have spent ten silver to save the little girl, but he has a shortcoming, and it is easy to listen to the rumors of the villain without thinking.
This is an extremely fatal shortcoming, easy to be exploited by villains, just like Chen Lei's cousin took advantage of this and almost succeeded.
If he hadn't given Grandma silver and helped Grandma, I'm afraid he wouldn't have heard Grandma's persuasion and sold Wang Jing, and his wife and children might have been buried in the hands of Chen Lei and the thieves.
And Wang Jing is also very kind, because she helped Grandma buy meat buns, Grandma said good things in front of Li Feng, Wang Jing was not sold, plus she saved Wang Qiuyue and the child later, directly adopted by Li Feng, and lived a life without worrying about eating and wearing.
So kindness is the most beautiful and gentle thing in the world, and it is also a virtue that each of us must have, although every kind act will not bring immediate returns, but it will always be our forward strength, and this gentle power will always appear from unexpected places and bring us surprises.
In this world, when you treat others kindly, and you will also receive kindness and help from others, what do you think?
