An old beggar in the Ming Dynasty came to the door to beg for food, and when the widow saw the old beggar, she gave the old beggar a bowl of soil, and then drove him away, and it was because of the bowl of soil that she saved the widow's life.
There was an old beggar in Shunde Province, known as Gao Laohan, who lost his wife at an early age, had no children under his knees, and in his old age he was not in good health, could not work and work, and could only live by begging. The old man was old and could not walk much, so he could only beg from house to house in a few nearby villages.
In the autumn of that year, when the old man went out to ask for food, he knocked on the doors of more than a dozen families in a row, and no one was willing to give him alms, and seeing that the sky was going to be dark, the old man was so hungry that his stomach grumbled, and he could only knock on the door of a family with a cane.
Gao Laohan came to this village many times to beg for food, knowing that this family lived a widow surnamed Zhuang, the daughter of a teacher, born white and beautiful, knowledgeable and reasonable, kind hearted, whenever Gao Laohan came to beg for food, Zhuang widow never let Gao Laohan return empty-handed. However, this time, the old man knocked on the door for half a day, and the widow Zhuang came over to open the door with a miserable face, and his attitude towards the old man was even more unexpected by the old man.
Widow Zhuang first scolded the old man with a split head and a face, and then she directly took out a bowl of soil and handed it to the old man, and then scolded with a straight face: "People who have no ability are not worthy of eating, only worthy of eating soil, and the benefits of my bowl of soil are great!" You eat slowly, and you will find it good at the end! ”
After the widow Zhuang said these words, she closed the door, and the old man was scolded by the widow of Zhuang, only to feel ashamed and embarrassed, and did not expect that the widow Zhuang, who had always been gentle, could say such a heartfelt word, and the old man was trembling with anger, and he fell the bowl of soil in his hand in a hurry, but unexpectedly a small note fell out of the soil.
When He was a child, he had read books for two years, but he could also read a few words, and he hurriedly opened the small note and found that the word "help" was written on it. Remembering what The widow Zhuang had just said, it seemed to remind him that he had seen the small note buried under the soil, and the old man suddenly understood that the widow of Zhuang was in danger, and he hurriedly took the small note to the village chief's house for help.
After the village chief saw the small note, he immediately found a dozen young and strong men, and the group quickly went to the widow's house. A group of people slammed open the gate and rushed to the widow's house, but when they entered the house, they saw a very unbearable scene.
I saw that the widow Zhuang was lying on the ground in disheveled clothes, and there was a tall and strong man next to her, and the strong man was none other than Wei Sande, the neighbor of the widow Zhuang.
Wei Sande had long coveted the beauty of the widow of Zhuang, and today he drank two more glasses of wine, so he had the audacity to go to the widow's house to do something wrong, fortunately, the old man came to knock on the door to ask for food, the widow of The old man pretended to be obedient, and proposed to send the old man away first, Wei Sande agreed, and the widow of Zhuang took the opportunity to hide the life-saving note in the soil, so she saved her life.
Later, Wei Sande was twisted and sent to the official palace, and Wei Sande made trouble after drinking, bullied widows, and was sentenced to three years in prison.
Widow Zhuang's brother was Mr. Clerk of Yamen, and he hinted at the jailer several times, and invited the jailer to eat wine twice, and those jailers locked Wei Sande and several fierce prisoners together, and those prisoners often moved their hands, directly hitting Wei Sande's old wounds and adding new wounds. Wei Sande regretted what he had done, but he regretted it too late.
Because Gao Laohan saved the life of a widow, widow Zhuang was grateful to him, so she asked her brother to help Gao Laohan find an errand to watch the door at the rich man's house, and since then, Gao Laohan has lived a life of eating and drinking, and he no longer has to beg for food.
Editor's note: Widow Zhuang is witty and brave, and when she encounters danger, she can stay calm and come up with a solution to the problem in time, which skillfully resolves a crisis. In real life, if we encounter danger, the first thing to do is to remain calm, as long as we keep our heads clear, we can better think of solutions to problems and better protect ourselves.
