Iron Rooster, Liu De not only did not give Zhu Yuanzhang the land to bury his parents, but instead humiliated him. Fortunately, Liu De's brother Liu Jizu was a kind man, and he helped Zhu Yuanzhang bury his parents.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang, his childhood friend Tang He and others joined Guo Zixing's peasant uprising army, and later successfully became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, Liu Jizu's family had been broken up, leaving only Liu Xing, the only seedling.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood in his heart that without his neighbors Without the help, he would never have achieved what he is today. In order to express his gratitude, Zhu Yuanzhang visited more than 20 neighboring families and asked the neighbors and villagers to protect the imperial tomb for him. This meant that Zhu Yuanzhang gave these relatives an iron rice bowl. Landlord Liu De was so frightened that his legs weakened when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's return. Liu De knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Not only did Zhu Yuanzhang not get angry, but he stood up and helped Liu De up himself, without any anger on his face. Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his gratitude to Liu De for taking care of their family at the beginning. Later, he expressed his magnanimity and said that he would not pursue Liu De's affairs back then. Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not kill Liu De, but instead gave him thirty acres of land to go home and retire.
