Folktales: Sisters fight for husbands
In ancient times, there was a small mountain village called Cuiping, where the mountains and rivers are picturesque and the people are simple. There are two families in the village, one surnamed Li and the other surnamed Zhang, and the two families are world friends and have a very good relationship. The Li family has a pair of sisters who are like flowers and jade, the elder sister is called Li Xiulian, and the younger sister is called Li Xiuying. The elder sister Xiulian is gentle and virtuous, and the younger sister Xiuying is lively and spicy.
The two sisters have reached the age of marriage, and many young people in the village admire them. However, there is only one person in their hearts - that is the talented and beautiful scholar in the village, Zhang Zixuan. Zixuan is talented and personable, and is the dream lover of a young woman in the village. He has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he is determined to pass the imperial examination, get out of this landscape, and realize his ambitions.
Xiulian and Xiuying both have a soft spot for Zixuan, but the two have different personalities and have very different ways of expressing their love. Xiulian often silently brought hot tea and snacks to Zixuan when he was studying, and warmed Zixuan's heart with her gentleness and thoughtfulness. And Xiuying is different, she likes to confess loudly and show her love to Zixuan with her enthusiasm and straightforwardness.
Zixuan has a good impression of both sisters, but he is more inclined to Xiulian's gentleness and virtuousness. However, fate played a joke at this time. A sudden flood swept through the entire village of Cuiping, and the village was almost flattened. In this disaster, Xiulian unfortunately disappeared, and her life and death are uncertain.
After the floods, the village was rebuilt and people gradually returned to their normal lives. However, the atmosphere in the Li family was extremely heavy. Xiuying lost her sister and was sad in her heart, but she was more worried about Zixuan's heart. She knew that after her sister disappeared, Zixuan's heart seemed to be emptied, and she was depressed all day long.
In order to cheer Zixuan back, Xiuying decided to let go of the grief in her heart and use her enthusiasm and vitality to infect Zixuan. She took Zixuan to every corner of the village, telling good memories before the flood, trying to arouse Zixuan's love for life. With her efforts, Zixuan's mood gradually improved, and the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper.
However, just when Xiuying thought that she could finally win Zixuan's heart, a shocking news came - Xiulian, who had been missing for many days, had miraculously returned! She was rescued by a passing caravan and returned to her hometown for many days. Xiulian's return made the whole village boil, but Xiuying's heart sank to the bottom.
Although Xiulian has gone through hardships, her gentleness and virtuousness have not changed. When she saw Zixuan and Xiuying together, although her heart was sour, she had no resentment. She just wanted to silently guard Zixuan's side and use her gentleness to heal the wounds in his heart.
However, Zixuan's heart fell into a deep entanglement. He couldn't let go of his feelings for Xiulian, and he didn't want to live up to Xiuying's deep affection. The two sisters fought for his heart and began a fierce contest.
Xiulian used her gentleness and thoughtfulness to try to win Zixuan's heart again. She washes and cooks for him, takes care of his daily life, and uses her actions to tell Zixuan that she is the most suitable person for him. And Xiuying is not to be outdone, she uses her enthusiasm and straightforwardness to show Zixuan her sincerity. She took Zixuan to the mountains to collect medicine, went to the river to fish, and used her vitality to infect Zixuan and let him regain the joy of life.
In this contest, Zixuan's heart is like a swaying sail, sometimes biased towards Xiulian, sometimes biased towards Xiuying. He wants to enjoy both Xiulian's gentleness and Xiuying's enthusiasm. His heart was full of contradictions and struggles, and he didn't know how to choose.
The fight between the two sisters plunged the entire village into chaos. There was a lot of discussion, and they all speculated about who Zixuan would choose in the end. And Zixuan also gradually lost himself in this battle. He didn't know what he really wanted, and he didn't know how to deal with the feelings of the two sisters.
At this moment, a sudden disaster befell Cuiping Village again. This time, it's a plague. The people of the village fell ill and were dying. In the face of this disaster, people's strife and grievances seem insignificant.
Zixuan saw people's pain and helplessness, and a strong sense of mission surged in his heart. He decided to put aside his personal emotional entanglements and go to the rescue of the villagers. He worked day and night studying medicine, collecting herbs and treating the villagers. Thanks to his efforts, many of the villagers' conditions have been relieved.
In the midst of this plague, Xiulian and Xiuying also put aside their fights with each other, and they work together to take care of the sick. With their actions, they proved that the friendship between sisters is more important than love.
Eventually, the plague passed, and Cuiping Village regained its former tranquility. In the midst of this disaster, Zixuan found his calling and value, and he decided to continue his medical studies to bring hope to more people. And Xiulian and Xiuying also understood the importance of each other, and they decided to put down the competition for Zixuan and protect this home they loved together.
This story tells us that love is not the whole of life, and sometimes, let go of personal emotional entanglements and focus on the wider world, we will gain more growth and touching. The friendship between sisters is also one of the most precious treasures in life, which allows us to support each other in difficult times and get through them together.
Zixuan left Cuiping Village and embarked on the road to study. He knew that in order to truly treat more people, he had to learn more advanced medical skills. And Xiulian and Xiuying also started their new lives. They take care of their families together, work together, and share the moments of life together. Although there is no Zixuan, their hearts are full of hope and expectation for the future.
Time flies, and a few years have passed. Zixuan returned from his studies, and he had become a doctor with superb medical skills. He returned to Cuiping Village and used his medical skills to treat the villagers and save people. His return made the whole village boil, and people came to thank him for saving his life.
Xiulian and Xiuying were also full of joy when they saw Zixuan's changes. They know that Zixuan has found his own path and found his own happiness. They are proud of Zixuan, and they are also proud of their growth.
One day, when Zixuan was collecting medicine on the mountain, he accidentally fell and injured his leg. Xiulian and Xiuying rushed to hear the news, and they desperately carried Zixuan down the mountain and sent him home. Under their careful care, Zixuan's injuries gradually improved. This time of getting along made Zixuan more deeply appreciate the kindness and sincerity of the two sisters.
Zixuan was full of emotion in his heart, he knew that he could no longer live up to the deep affection of the two sisters. He decided to confess his heart to them and tell them what he had to say. However, when he saw the picture of the two sisters supporting each other and living in harmony, he hesitated. He was afraid that his choice would hurt any of them, and that he would break this rare harmony.
So, Zixuan made a decision. He no longer dwells on his emotional choices, but sublimates this emotion into respect and gratitude for the two sisters. He told them that he had found his calling and his value, which was to use his medical skills to heal more people. He hopes that the two sisters can continue to support each other, live in harmony, and jointly protect this beautiful home.
Xiulian and Xiuying listened to Zixuan's words, although they were a little disappointed in their hearts, they also understood Zixuan's intentions. They knew that Zixuan's choice was for a better future and for the happiness of their sisters. They decided to let go of their obsessions and continue to move forward hand in hand.
Since then, the story of Cuiping Village has spread all over the world. People say that the Li family has two sisters, who are not only beautiful and kind, but also deeply affectionate.
