The husband went out to work, and the wife cheated at home, and the husband: Where did the money I buried go?
In ancient times, there was a place called Qingshi Town, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the people are simple. There is a young couple living in the town, the husband is named Li Tiezhu, and the wife is Liu Cuihua. Li Tiezhu is a hard-working man, in order to make his wife live a better life, he decided to go to the distant capital to work and earn more silver taels.
Before leaving, Li Tiezhu exchanged the family's savings for silver and quietly buried them under the jujube tree behind the house. He told Liu Cuihua that this was their hope for the future, and when he returned, he would use the money to build a new house and live a happy life. Liu Cuihua said goodbye to her husband with tears, both reluctant and expectant.
However, after Li Tiezhu left, Liu Cuihua's life was not satisfactory. She was alone in the empty room, lonely, and was gradually targeted by Zhang Erlaizi in the town. Zhang Erlaizi is an idle scoundrel who has nothing to do all day long, specializing in teasing women from good families. He saw that Liu Cuihua was beautiful, so he often wandered in front of her house, looking for opportunities to talk.
At first, Liu Cuihua could still stick to the woman's way and speak coldly to Zhang Erlaizi. But as time passed, her heart gradually faltered. Zhang Er Laizi can speak well and please women, Liu Cuihua gradually lost herself in his sweet words. Finally one day, the two broke through the bottom line of morality and secretly got together.
Since then, Liu Cuihua has lived a life of fear. She has to carefully hide her secrets, but also endure inner torment and guilt. And Zhang Erlaizi became more and more unscrupulous, and even began to blatantly enter and leave Liu Cuihua's house.
After more than half a year, Li Tiezhu finally returned from working in the capital. He returned home full of anticipation, only to find that his wife had changed. When Liu Cuihua saw her husband come back, although she pretended to be indifferent on the surface, the panic and weakness in her eyes couldn't escape Li Tiezhu's eyes.
Li Tiezhu was full of doubts in his heart, but he did not directly question his wife. He remembered the money he had buried, and decided to go and see if it was still there. He went to the jujube tree behind the house and dug up the dirt, but found that the place where the silver had been buried was empty, and the silver was gone.
Li Tiezhu suddenly felt the world spinning, and he couldn't believe his eyes. The silver was his hard-earned money, and it was all he had hope for his future life. Now that the money is gone, what should he do?
Li Tiezhu endured the anger and despair in his heart, and returned to the house to question Liu Cuihua. When Liu Cuihua saw her husband's face, she understood a little in her heart. She argued and argued, but couldn't come up with a reason. Seeing this, Li Tiezhu's anger in his heart became even stronger, and he asked loudly: "Where did the money I buried go?
Liu Cuihua was so frightened by her husband's roar that she trembled, and she knew that she couldn't hide it anymore. So, she confessed the ugly affair between herself and Zhang Erlaizi, as well as the fact that the silver was cheated away by Zhang Erlaizi. She cried and begged her husband for forgiveness, saying that she was confused for a while and embarked on this road of no return.
After listening to his wife's confession, Li Tiezhu had mixed feelings in his heart. He was both angry at his wife's betrayal and distressed by her weakness and ignorance. He thought of the hardships of working outside and the days he paid for his family, and an indescribable sadness surged in his heart.
However, the matter has come to this point, and Li Tiezhu knows that it can no longer be reversed. He sighed and said to Liu Cuihua: "You go, we will break off from now on." When Liu Cuihua heard this, she cried and hugged her husband's leg as if she had been struck by lightning, begging him not to abandon her. But Li Tiezhu was already disheartened, he pushed his wife away and turned around and left this former home.
Liu Cuihua looked at her husband's resolute back, her heart was full of remorse and despair. She knew that she had ruined her happy life with her own hands, and now she could never get it back. She sat down on the ground and wept bitterly, tears wetting her clothes.
And when Zhang Erlaizi learned that Li Tiezhu had returned, he was also frightened. He was worried that Li Tiezhu would settle accounts with him, so he escaped from Qingshi Town overnight and never dared to come back.
In this way, the originally harmonious family was torn apart by a betrayal. Li Tiezhu lost his wife and silver, while Liu Cuihua lost her husband and family. This story spread in Qingshi Town and became a topic of conversation after dinner. Whenever someone mentions this story, they will sigh: "The world is really impermanent, and people's hearts are unpredictable!"
And Li Tiezhu became even more reticent after experiencing this blow. He started his life as a part-time worker again, but he never let go of it in his heart. He often thinks of that former home, and of the wife who once loved him deeply. But every now and then, he shook his head violently, trying to shake the memories out of his mind.
As the days passed, Li Tiezhu's life gradually returned to peace. With his diligence and frugality, he slowly accumulated some silver taels. He began to plan to build a new house and start a new life. Although he still has scars in his heart, he knows that life must go on, and he cannot remain immersed in the pain of the past.
Just as Li Tiezhu was about to rebuild his home, a mysterious wandering Taoist priest came to Qingshi Town. This Taoist priest claims to be able to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil, and can also guide people through the maze. The townspeople came to ask for advice, hoping to get some inspiration from the Taoist priests.
Li Tiezhu also heard about the reputation of this Taoist priest, although he did not believe in ghosts and gods, he still had doubts in his heart. So, he decided to visit the Taoist priest to see if he could solve the mystery in his heart.
After the Taoist priest saw Li Tiezhu, he first looked at him, and then smiled slightly and said, "I see that there is a depression between your eyebrows, it must be something unfair in your heart, right?"
When Li Tiezhu heard this, he was shocked. He didn't expect this Taoist priest to see through his mind at a glance. So, he told the Taoist priest everything he had encountered, hoping to get the Taoist priest's guidance.
After listening to Li Tiezhu's narration, the Taoist priest pondered for a moment and said, "The silver you lost is actually not really lost. It just exists in your life in a different form. ”
Li Tiezhu was confused when he heard it, and he didn't understand what the Taoist priest meant. Seeing this, the Taoist priest further explained: "The silver you lost is actually the price of your wife's betrayal of you. And the suffering you are suffering now is also a punishment for your too much trust in her. But you have to understand that it's all a cycle of cause and effect, and there is no escaping it. ”
Li Tiezhu listened to the words of the Taoist priest, and his heart suddenly brightened. He understands that what he has lost is not only silver, but also trust in his wife and hope for the future. And the suffering he is suffering now is also a punishment for himself for being too gullible in others.
Seeing that Li Tiezhu had comprehended, the Taoist priest continued: "What you have to do now is not to immerse yourself in the pain of the past, but to learn to let go. Let go of the resentment towards your wife and let go of your attachment to the past. Only then will you be able to start over and find your own happiness. ”
Li Tiezhu listened to the words of the Taoist priest, and a warm current surged in his heart. He thanked the Taoist priest for his guidance and decided to let go of the resentment and attachment in his heart and start his life again.
With the help of Taoist priests, Li Tiezhu gradually came out of the shadows. He used his diligence and wisdom to build a beautiful new house. He also met a kind and virtuous woman, and the two supported each other and ran the family together.
With the passage of time, Li Tiezhu's life became better and better. He no longer thinks of the pain of the past, but cherishes the happiness in front of him. And the words of that Taoist priest have also become the eternal motto in his heart: "Let go of the past, cherish the present, and embrace the future." ”
Time flies, Li Tiezhu and his new wife run a warm little home together, and although the days are ordinary but full of laughter. They worked hard, worked hard to save money, and gradually, their lives began to improve. Whenever night fell, the two would sit in the courtyard, looking at the starry sky, reminiscing about the past, and feeling emotional.
However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. Just when Li Tiezhu thought that he had completely gotten rid of the past and was ready to welcome a new life, Zhang Erlaizi, who had disappeared for many years, suddenly returned to Qingshi Town.
At this time, Zhang Erlaizi is no longer the idle scoundrel of the year, he has been out for many years, and he has made a windfall, and when he returns to the town, he shows off his wealth. He built a luxurious mansion, delicacies from the mountains and the sea every day, and lived a life of drunken money.
After Liu Cuihua learned the news of Zhang Erlaizi's return, she had mixed feelings in her heart. She was not only ashamed of her betrayal back then, but also jealous of Zhang Erlaizi's soaring. She often sneaked out of the house and snooped around Zhang Erlaizi's house, fantasizing that she could live that life.
Zhang Er Laizi naturally also noticed Liu Cuihua's actions. His heart moved, and he felt that this was a good opportunity to take revenge on Li Tiezhu. So, he began to deliberately approach Liu Cuihua and tempted her back to him with sweet words.
Liu Cuihua gradually lost her way in Zhang Erlaizi's sweet words. She forgot the pain and lessons of the past, and once again fell into the gentle trap of Zhang Erlaizi. She even began to fantasize about eloping with Zhang Erlaizi and living that kind of drunken life.
However, her illusions were soon shattered. Zhang Er Laizi didn't really want to be with her at all, he just wanted to use Liu Cuihua to take revenge on Li Tiezhu. When Liu Cuihua found out that she was being used, she was full of remorse, but she couldn't extricate herself.
Li Tiezhu quickly noticed his wife's abnormality. Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not directly question his wife. He decides to investigate secretly to see what exactly his wife is doing.
After some investigation, Li Tiezhu finally discovered the secret of his wife and Zhang Erlaizi. His heart was like a knife, but more than that, he was angry and disappointed. He didn't expect that he would be betrayed by the same person again, and this time it was his wife.
Li Tiezhu decided to give his wife a chance and let her choose for herself. He found his wife, told her everything he had found, and then said coldly, "You can choose to come back to me, or you can choose to go with him." But whatever you choose, remember that there are mistakes that once made, you can never go back. ”
Liu Cuihua burst into tears after listening to her husband's words. She knew that she had completely lost her husband's trust and love, and she had also lost her originally happy family. She was remorseful, but irreparable.
In the end, Liu Cuihua chose to leave. She knew that she was no longer worthy of staying by Li Tiezhu's side, and she couldn't face her past. With a heart full of guilt and remorse, she silently left this former home.
And Zhang Erlaizi didn't get the pleasure of revenge he wanted. He soon discovered that money and material things did not bring true happiness and fulfillment. He began to miss the simple and fulfilling life of the past, but there was no going back.
After experiencing this blow, Li Tiezhu has become more mature and strong. He understands that there will always be ups and downs in life, but it's important to learn to face and let go. He continues to run his small family, loving and cherishing everyone around him with all his heart.
And this story has also spread in Bluestone Town, and has become a good story that has been sung from generation to generation. It tells people that no matter how many difficulties and setbacks they encounter in life, they must face them bravely and let go of the past in order to find their true happiness.
