The widow married an old man in order to support her children, only to find out that he was a rich man
In the far foothills of the mountains, there is a quaint and peaceful little village. In the village lived a widow named Xiu'e, who was a young widow and raised a young child alone. Xiu'e is a hardworking and kind woman, for the sake of the child, she gets up early and works greedily at night, although the days are hard, she never complains, only hopes that the child can grow up healthily.
However, fate does not seem to favor the mother and son. That summer, a sudden flood washed away the village's fields, and Xiu'e's family's harvest was almost zero. Faced with hunger and poverty, Xiu'e felt unprecedented pressure. She knew that she couldn't support this family by herself.
At this moment, an old man from the village came into Xiu'e's sight. The old man's name is Li Fugui, although he is old, his body is quite tough. He lost his wife at an early age and has been living alone. Li Fugui is a kind person, but his personality is a little withdrawn, so the people in the village respect him. Xiu'e tried to ask him for help several times, but each time she gave up because of her worries.
However, the predicament of reality forced Xiu'e to let go of her worries. She plucked up her courage and walked into Li Fugui's house. Li Fugui was a little surprised when he saw Xiu'e's arrival, but he was more delighted. He has long had a good impression of Xiu'e, but he has no chance to express it. Now, Xiu'e took the initiative to ask for help, and he naturally would not refuse.
After some discussion, Xiu'e decided to marry Li Fugui in exchange for food and clothing for him and his children. Although Li Fugui is older, he is kind and takes good care of Xiu'e and her children. Although Xiu'e was unwilling, thinking of the child's future, she still gritted her teeth and nodded.
In this way, Xiu'e became Li Fugui's wife. After marriage, her life has not changed much, and she still gets up early and works late to take care of her family and children. Although Li Fugui is old, he also tries his best to help do what he can. Although the life of the two is poor, it is also harmonious.
However, as time goes on, Xiu'e gradually notices that something is wrong. Although Li Fugui looks like an ordinary old man on the surface, his words and deeds always reveal a unique temperament. He sometimes inadvertently mentions some esoteric topics, which confuses Xiu'e. Moreover, there are always strange objects in his home, which seem to be of great value, but are randomly placed in the corners by him.
Xiu'e's curiosity was stimulated, and she began to secretly pay attention to Li Fugui's every move. Gradually, she discovers some amazing secrets. It turned out that Li Fugui was not an ordinary old man, he used to be a wealthy businessman when he was young and had accumulated a lot of wealth. However, because of a sudden change, he lost all his relatives and friends, and also lost his confidence in life. He chose to return to this small village and live a reclusive life, silently helping the people in the village with his remaining wealth.
Xiu'e was shocked, but also felt a hint of happiness. She was glad that she chose to marry Li Fugui, otherwise she and her children would have been struggling in a difficult situation. At the same time, she also felt a trace of guilt, because she once knew nothing about Li Fugui's identity and past, and even had some prejudice against him.
However, what is more important now is how to face the future. Xiu'e knew that she couldn't change her original intention because of Li Fugui's wealth. She still has to be hardworking and kind, and take care of her family and children. And Li Fugui also promised Xiu'e that he would use his wealth to help more people and make this small village a better place.
As the days passed, Xiu'e and Li Fugui's lives became more and more harmonious. Their feelings gradually warmed up in mutual understanding and support, and they became the envy of the villagers. And that young child also thrived under their care and became the hope of the village.
However, life is always full of unknowns and uncertainties. Just when Xiu'e thought that she could enjoy an ordinary and happy life with peace of mind, a sudden storm broke the tranquility of the village. It turns out that Li Fugui's past is not as simple as he said, and there is a bottomless grudge and hatred hidden behind his wealth. And this grievance and hatred also involved Xiu'e and Li Fugui in a thrilling dispute......
That's it for the first half of the story. Next, how will Xiu'e and Li Fugui face this sudden turmoil, and how will their fate develop? Everything is full of unknowns and suspense. And it is these unknowns and suspense that make this story even more bizarre and fascinating.
The turmoil came suddenly. One day, several strange figures appeared at the entrance of the village, and they inquired about Li Fugui's whereabouts, revealing unkind intentions in their words. Xiu'e overheard their conversation and couldn't help but be suspicious. She was worried that Li Fugui's past would cause them trouble, and she was even more worried about the safety of her children.
As night fell, Xiu'e decided to talk to Li Fugui. She dragged him into the bamboo grove behind the house and told him everything she had heard during the day. After Li Fugui heard this, his face was solemn and he was silent for a long time. He finally confesses his past to Xiu'e - he was indeed a wealthy businessman when he was young, but because of a business competition, he was framed by his rivals and lost everything. And his family also died in that turmoil. Disheartened, he chose to live in seclusion in this small village, silently helping the villagers with his remaining wealth.
After Xiu'e heard this, she had mixed feelings in her heart. She felt sad for Li Fugui's experience, but also admired his kindness and strength. She held Li Fugui's hand tightly and said firmly: "No matter what your past is, I will be on your side." We face it together and get through it together. ”
Li Fugui was moved to tears, and he hugged Xiu'e tightly, as if he had found a long-lost relative. The two hugged each other and cried, and each other's hearts became tighter.
However, the turmoil did not subside. Those strangers began to appear in the village frequently, and they went around to inquire about Li Fugui's news, and even began to threaten the villagers. Xiu'e and Li Fugui knew that they could no longer sit idly by. They decided to stand up and face it all.
Li Fugui used his wisdom and experience to secretly investigate the origin and purpose of those strangers. Xiu'e, on the other hand, is responsible for calming the emotions of the villagers and telling them not to panic. The two worked together to deal with the turmoil.
After some investigation, Li Fugui finally found out the details of those strangers. It turned out that they were the subordinates of the opponent who framed them back then, and when they learned that Li Fugui was still alive, they wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots to prevent future troubles.
Li Fugui decided not to run away anymore, he wanted to seek justice for himself and his family. He united some trusted villagers and developed a well-thought-out plan. On a stormy night, they managed to subdue the strangers and handed them over to the government.
The turmoil finally subsided, and the village returned to its former tranquility. Li Fugui and Xiu'e's bravery and wisdom won the admiration and respect of the villagers. They continue to live an ordinary and happy life, guarding the small village in their own way.
And that young child has also grown up a lot in this turmoil. He learned to be strong and brave, but also to cherish and be grateful. He knows that it is the love and dedication of his parents that allows him to grow up healthily. He was determined to become a productive person in the future and repay his parents for their nurturing kindness.
After the turmoil, the village returned to its former tranquility. Li Fugui and Xiu'e's lives are also back on track, as if nothing had happened. However, they have undergone a baptism of heart and become stronger and more mature.
Li Fugui was well aware that his past had brought unnecessary danger to his family, and he decided to make his identity public and use the remaining wealth for the construction and development of the village. He financed the construction of a school so that all the children in the village could receive a good education, and he also set up a medical fund to help the villagers who could not afford to see a doctor. His acts of kindness have won widespread praise and respect from the villagers.
Xiu'e has also become more industrious and strong. She not only takes care of her family and children, but also actively participates in various activities in the village and becomes a confidant sister to the villagers. The relationship between her and Li Fugui has also been sublimated in this turmoil, and the two support and understand each other, becoming a loving couple envied by the villagers.
However, life is always full of unknowns and uncertainties. Just as the village was gradually becoming prosperous, a sudden plague shattered the peace. The plague was raging, and many villagers soon fell ill.
In the face of this sudden disaster, Li Fugui and Xiu'e did not flinch. They quickly organized the villagers and took various measures to prevent and control the disease. Li Fugui took out his savings and purchased a large number of medicinal materials and epidemic prevention materials and distributed them to the villagers. Xiu'e took care of the sick day and night, bringing warmth and hope to the villagers with her actions.
Under their leadership, the villagers united as one to resist the plague. After a period of hard work, the plague was finally brought under control and the village was revitalized.
This plague made Li Fugui and Xiu'e more deeply aware of the fragility and preciousness of life. They cherish each other even more, and they cherish this hard-won home even more. They decided that no matter what difficulties and challenges they would encounter in the future, they would work together to face them together.
As the years passed, the story of Li Fugui and Xiu'e became a legend of the village. Their kindness, courage and wisdom have been passed down from generation to generation. And that young child also thrived under their care, becoming a productive person, repaying his parents' nurturing grace in his own way.
This is the end of the story, but the lives of Li Fugui and Xiu'e continue. They use their own experience to tell us that although life is full of unknowns and variables, as long as we are kind-hearted, brave and wise, we will be able to create our own happy life. And their stories will forever inspire future generations to move forward and pursue a better life.
