Once upon a time, there was a rich man surnamed Zhang, whose family was very wealthy, and the rich man Zhang often helped others on weekdays, and also took care of his subordinates, so he was praised by people.
Zhang Caizhu has three sons, and since they were children, Zhang Caizhu has been very strict with them and takes good care of them, hoping that they can carry forward their family business when they grow up.
Time passed unconsciously, and soon the three sons of Zhang Caizhu had grown up, and they all had their own lives.
Among them, the eldest son made a group of friends with wine and meat, and he didn't do anything all day, and every day he had to get drunk outside until he staggered home.
The second son was not at home for three days, and every time he went home, he had to ask Zhang Caizhu how many taels of silver he wanted, and even someone came to him to ask for money.
The behavior of the two sons made Rich Master Zhang angry and hateful, but he had nothing to do, he taught his son many times, but the two sons did not change their teachings, which made Rich Master Zhang only anxious.
The only thing that made Zhang Caizhu happy was that the third son inherited his good character and was very down-to-earth and stable, so he arranged for his younger son to work in his own shop.
The youngest son is very business-minded, and the business is getting better and better under the management of the younger son.
In this way, the days passed, and the rich man's health was not as good as day by day, and finally one day the rich man Zhang was lying on the bed and couldn't afford to get sick, and the subordinates of the family hurriedly went to inform the three sons when they saw this.
The eldest son was drunk unconscious in the restaurant at this time, and was lying on the table and falling asleep.
Helplessly, the subordinates had to rush to find the second son, and finally squeezed through the crowd, and saw the second young master at the gambling table, and the subordinates hurriedly stepped forward to announce the matter.
But at this time, the second son had already lost his gambling money, and before the next person finished speaking, he pushed it to the ground, and the next person staggered to get up and hurriedly ran to find the third son.
When he arrived at the store, the third son's business was very busy, but after learning the news that his father was seriously ill, the third son hurriedly left his work and rushed home.
Seeing his father lying on the sickbed, the third son's tears fell instantly, and he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of his father's bed, and saw that his son Zhang Caizhu left a tear stain in the corner of his eye, he took out a pair of straw sandals from his arms and handed them to his son, so that he could keep them alive and wait for the owner of this shoe to come to him.
After saying this, the rich man Zhang died with enough hands to die, and it was not until the evening that the eldest son and the second son rushed home, looking at their father's coffin and the two brothers looked at each other, and had nothing to say.
Soon the funeral of the rich man Zhang ended, and at this time the housekeeper took out a notebook, which was the will made by the rich man Zhang before his death, and he wanted to inform it in front of everyone.
Just when everyone thought that the will would definitely be divided into the third son, the result was beyond everyone's expectations, and the rich man Zhang divided the estate to the eldest son and the second son.
For a while, everyone present was talking, the eldest son and the second son could not hide their excitement, but the third son seemed very flat.
After returning home, the eldest son and the second son also found an excuse to kick the third son out of the house, and the third son only got the life that his father left for him in the shop before his death.
One day, a gorgeously dressed man came to the shop to look for the rich man, and the third son told him that his father had died, and the people who came were very sad to hear the news.
But when he learned that it was the son of the rich man in front of him, he hurriedly asked the rich man Zhang if he had left any relics before his death, and the third son thought of the straw sandals left by his father.
So he took out the straw sandals, but he didn't expect that the man would cry bitterly when he saw the straw sandals, and the third son was very curious, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask the reason.
It turned out that this person was penniless and didn't even have money to eat, and just when he was about to starve to death, the rich man Zhang rescued him, not only gave him food, but also gave him some money.
This made him very moved, so he took off the straw sandals on his body and handed them to the rich man Zhang, and he will definitely come to repay him when he soars in the future. Now that he has made a fortune, he has come to thank his benefactor.
Now that the rich man was dead, he had left his straw sandals to his son, so he asked the third son what he needed, and the third son asked for nothing.
Because he is running the shop very well now, he is already very satisfied now, but despite this, people still come to the store every day to take care of his business.
Looking at the other two sons, who quickly squandered the family's possessions, they realized that they regretted it, but it was too late.
