Brothers exchange lives, but the ending is surprising. Human nature turns out to be so fragile!

1. The prologue begins
"Zengguang Xianwen" says: "There are people who are good, and there are people who are good at horses; it also says: People who are evil are not afraid of heaven, and people who are good at heaven do not deceive them." These words are a summary of the lives of the ancients, saying that people are doing things and God is watching. If you do bad things today, you will be punished by God one day. In fact, this is not the case in reality!
Uncle Fourth died young at the age of 49 because of the heavy burden and high living expenses, and his body's nutrition did not keep up. Uncle San came back and sent his uncle up the mountain with great grief. With the tragic call from Aunt Fourth and his cousin, the life of Uncle Fourth came to an end in this empty deep mountain.
The fourth uncle was buried in the morning, and the third uncle took a plane home in the afternoon. He would not be calm on the plane. The reason why he is today was actually given to him by his younger brother. If it was not the kindness of his younger brother at that time, and he gave them an exchange of their identities, then the third uncle was buried in this deep mountain today, would he blame himself? Is there any helplessness? Who knows!
2. Worry that the third uncle
grandfather has a younger brother, we call him the second grandfather, and he gave birth to two sons and three daughters. The eldest son, we called him Uncle San. When he was a child, he was in poor health and had almost never stopped taking injections and medicine. If the weather changes slightly, he would get sick and he would have to take medicine. In severe cases, he would have to be drip in the injections. It was okay to study, but he was not as good as his younger brother!
The youngest son, we call him the fourth uncle. He has always been very strong and is stronger than his brother. He rarely has the opportunity to take medicine and wears very little clothes, but he just won’t catch a cold, which makes many people envious! Reading has always been our legend. It is often the first and second place in the whole grade. I often hear the fourth uncle's name at the praise meeting.
Uncle Third is one year older than Uncle Fourth. He did not perform well in the middle school entrance examination and did not get into a technical secondary school. At that time, the technical secondary school was equivalent to the current 985. If he had no books, he had to stay at home. But because of poor health, I can't do farm work at home, which made my second grandfather very worried: "My son's health is so poor, how can I live in the countryside in the future?"
The fourth uncle was admitted to a technical secondary school in the second year. The second grandfather was so happy that a talent was finally released at home, so the older ones could be taken care of by the younger ones in the future! But a few days later, the second grandfather thought what if the younger son didn’t take care of the eldest son then? So I went to discuss with Uncle Fourth, and Uncle Fourth gave the admission letter to his brother without thinking!
3. Destiny conversion
From then on, the fate of the third uncle and the fourth uncle changed. The fourth uncle worked at home to farm, got married and had children, took care of the second grandfather and second grandmother, ran for three meals a day, and worked hard for the growth of their children. Uncle San developed in the city, starting from the grassroots level, climbing to the manager step by step, with unlimited glory and flying all day long!
The fourth uncle died shortly after he got married. A year later, the second grandfather was paralyzed in bed. The task of taking care of the second grandfather was the fourth uncle. He took urine and scrubbed his body. I have three meals a day, coaxed me like feeding my children, and I have been persisting for more than ten years. The Buddha said: "Elusion is the first in all evil, and filial piety is the first in all virtues." Uncle Fourth set a good example for us!
And the third uncle only arrives at noon on New Year's Eve every year, and takes his family back to the city on the afternoon of the first day of the New Year. He is rarely seen during the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. Every time I leave, I will say to my fourth uncle: "Thank you for the hard work over the years. Even if you help me take care of my father, the fourth uncle smiled at my third uncle and said, "I have money!" I won't accept the money!
4. Funeral hiccups
Today's Fourth Uncle's funeral is a bit deserted. Fourth Uncle has no rich friends, only neighbors and some relatives. When I remembered the death of my second grandfather, it was so busy. The gift list is that the two brothers each accept relatives from each family, as if they are not the same grandfather or the same father when they grow old, but the wealth.
A gift list says one hundred or two hundred relatives of the fourth uncle's family, and the number of backings, mattresses, cloths, etc. given by the neighbors, the total total is far less than half of the second grandfather's burial fee.When calculating the fees, grandfather and cousins both said that the fee was calculated based on the guests from each family, but the fourth uncle said, "My parents' affairs must be shared equally!"
Another gift list stated that the friends and friends from the third uncle's family were 500 to 800, and the business partners were 1,000 or 2,000, which combined was much more than half of the second grandfather's burial cost. Uncle San made a lot of money by using his second grandfather's outing and was very happy! Two gift lists, two lives are more than a hundred and eight thousand miles apart!
5. It is difficult to move nature
Uncle San made a huge profit. The gift received by a funeral was more than his annual income. He couldn't help but make a small plan: "If you take your father's ashes to the city and hold another one, what about the income?" For this reason, the fourth uncle had a big fight with Uncle San, and was finally stopped by the cousins who regarded the dead as the most important and buried in peace.
How is a person? Is it kind? Or are you just trying to make other people's ideas? It can be seen from what he did! I really don’t know. I was shocked. One was thinking about how to maximize the benefits; the other was thinking about my own responsibilities and unwilling to be taken by others, even my brothers who have gained their own mercy!
As the saying goes, "The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change." A person takes advantage of others since he was a child, and he took advantage of his brothers. When he gets older, it becomes a habit. Once the habit is formed, it will not be changed! So the third uncle used everything that originally belonged to the fourth uncle, without feeling guilty, and even wanted to use the second grandfather's funeral.
Buddha said: "Life is accidental, death is inevitable." The fourth uncle spent his whole life dedicating to his brothers and giving in to his brothers, but what did he get? Even if the cost of my father’s funeral is equally divided by the head of the meal, there is also a head of thinking! Even if I don’t accept the extra money for my younger brother, is it so natural for me to be the older brother?
6. A small summary
The scenery is still there, and I am not a teenager. On the way to age, I have seen and come into contact with many kind and ugly people. I have no power to change others, so I can only be kind to myself and stay away from those ugly people, so that I can suffer less harm. I will cherish those who cherish me, and I will abandon those who dislike me. After all, I can’t afford to hurt now!
Yes, some people can afford to hurt, while most people cannot afford to hurt! Therefore, on the way to age, we must be careful of the evil people around us and those who are specializing in making other people's ideas. Don't open your heart to the other party because we are very familiar with each other, so that the other party can grasp the weakness. Then you will not even have the power to fight back!
Why are kind people always bullied by bad people? And the bad guys are so bad? After reading the above content, we know that bad people are actually spoiled by good people. It is because of my younger brother's generosity, no concern and in order to make my older brother live a better life, which has caused my older brother to become more and more ungrateful and ignorant!
