At the time of the Ming Dynasty , there was a place called Guandu Village. It was near the sea and the villagers made a living by fishing.
Wives at home pray every day, they only hope that their husbands will return safely.
But the wind and waves are ruthless. On that day, Zhang was catching a fishing net, and villagers ran over in panic.
"Go and have a look. Something happened to your Dayong."
Zhang hurried to the beach. When she saw her husband's body, Zhang couldn't help crying.
On the day her husband was buried, Zhang said to Song Ziwen: "I won't let you be a fisherman, just study hard."
At that time, Song Ziwen also wanted to study hard. When he grew up, he made his mother happy, but the appearance of one person disrupted the plan of the mother and son.
That night, the mother and son were sleeping at home, and suddenly there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
opened the door and saw Zhang shouting, "Butler Li, why are you here?"
saw Butler Li with a child, and Zhang quickly let them into the house.
When Zhang was young, his family was very poor, and the people at home often had no food to eat.
As the eldest in the family, she could only find work, but before she could make money, she fell ill.
The owner was afraid of losing money, so he threw her on the street, and no one of the passers-by was willing to come forward to help.
Finally, when Liu Yuanwai's daughter Aqiao saw her, she took her home and asked Zhang to work in the mansion.
A Qiao treats her very well. When Zhang gets married, A Qiao also prepares a generous dowry for her.
In Zhang's eyes, the lady lives a wealthy life and is a blessed person.
Unexpectedly, Butler Li cried and said, "Miss is in a miserable life, and she has not found a good husband!"
Aqiao married the son of a wealthy businessman. She could have lived a pampered life.
Who knew that the wealthy business had ruined all the family business, and he often drank, and he would either beat or scold A Qiao.
Aqiao endured it for the child, but fate did not let this miserable woman go.
After a drunkenness, A Qiao's husband accidentally knocked over the oil lamp, and the couple were both buried in the fire.
Aqiao left only one son, his name was Sun Bingsheng, who was a few months older than Zhang's son.
Butler Li sighed: "I have no time now, so I can only ask the young master to you. I hope you can raise the young master well."
Zhang was already grateful to the lady for saving her life back then, so she naturally agreed without hesitation.
Sun Bingsheng lives in Zhang's house, and he also calls Zhang's mother over time.
This day, Song Ziwen and his friends in the village played together. If nothing unexpected happens, they will go to school together.
A friend asked him, "Did your mother prepare apprenticeship for you ?"
Song Ziwen shook his head, and his friend urged him, "You should prepare quickly, otherwise you will not be able to enter the school."
Song Ziwen hurried home and asked Zhang to prepare for the apprenticeship for tribute, but Zhang said, "Your brother is going to school, you don't have to go, our family can't afford it!"
Song Ziwen's tears fell when he heard this. He wanted to study and wanted to be an official when he grew up.
On weekdays, my mother favors Sun Bingsheng, and Sun Bingsheng makes a fuss about eating roast duck.
My mother helped her buy a roast chicken except for the grass for a day. When Sun Bingsheng was having a feast, Song Ziwen could only drool in her greed.
But he said proudly: "This roast duck is really unpalatable, far worse than the roast duck I ate in Defulou."
Song Ziwen was very angry. When he thought about his mother's hard work, he beat Sun Bingsheng without thinking.
Zhang was very angry when she found out. She picked up the rattan and beat her son. Song Ziwen started crying.
Zhang said angrily: "His mother is my benefactor. Even if I do something, I can't repay her kindness."
These grievances are still trivial matters. Now that his mother wants Sun Bingsheng to give up studying for the sake of schooling, Song Ziwen can no longer bear it.
He cried and shouted to his mother, "I hate you, mother!"
After saying this, he ran to the beach and cried bitterly. He cried for his mother's injustice and the bumpy fate.
At this time, a storm of waves broke out on the sea, and an old man appeared soon.
The old man comforted him with a smile: "What makes you so sad!"
Song Ziwen told the old man about the story. After hearing this, the old man asked: "Do you have anything in the future?"
Song Ziwen shook his head, and he felt that his future was slim.
The old man saw that the child was pure and honest, so he said to him: "If one day you need to make money, just be a fisherman!"
"If you are in danger, you shouted that Song Ziwen is coming, then you will definitely gain a lot."
After saying that, the old man left and disappeared into the waves in the sea.
Song Ziwen remembered that his father told him that there was a sea god in the sea, and as long as he saw it, he would let those passing by go home safely.
Song Ziwen knelt down and kowtowed a few times: "Thank you for your help from Grandpa Sea God, I remember your words."
Song Ziwen didn't want to make his mother embarrassed, so he finally gave up the opportunity to study, and he chose to help his mother work at home.
In this blink of an eye, 10 years have passed, and Song Ziwen also has a child who grows into a handsome young man.
He is very hardworking and works hard every day just to make his mother's life better.
Sun Bingsheng is still studying in the academy. He has been studying for so many years and has not even passed the exam for a scholar.
However, the food and clothing cost is no worse than that of the rich young man. The mother and son have put a lot of effort into supporting him.
A neighbor said, "Sun Bingsheng is not your biological son, why do you make you and Ziwen so hard for him?"
But Zhang felt that there was no grace greater than life-saving grace. She was willing to give to Sun Bingsheng.
Years of work have made Zhang's health worse and worse. Finally, she couldn't hold on while working.
At that time, the doctor said, "Your mother's illness is dangerous and she needs 20 taels of silver to get medicine."
Song Ziwen looked around her family. In order to support Sun Bingsheng's study, there were no valuable items at home, let alone silver.
He thought that his mother gave Sun Bingsheng eight taels of silver two days ago, so he came to the academy and asked Sun Bingsheng to take out the silver first to treat his mother.
Sun Bingsheng learned about Song Ziwen's purpose, but he lied and said, "I handed over all the money to the sir, I can't take it out at all."
So many years, Song Ziwen knew Sun Bingsheng too well. He just pretended to leave, and when Sun Bingsheng went out, he quietly followed him.
Song Ziwen found that Sun Bingsheng came to a restaurant. He said shamelessly: "I treat you today, everyone can eat and drink well!"
Song Ziwen didn't even bother to the room. He rushed into the private room and shouted at Sun Bingsheng: "My mother is seriously ill and needs money, but you are eating and drinking here. Are you worthy of your mother!"
The other classmates knew that Sun Bingsheng was an ungrateful person, and they stood up and said goodbye in anger.
It turned out that Sun Bingsheng was afraid that his classmates knew that he was a poor family and had no face, so he said that he was also a rich young man.
In order to match his identity, Sun Bingsheng often uses the money his mother earns to invite his classmates to have dinner and drink.
Seeing Sun Bingsheng taking advantage of his actions, no one doubted his family background.
Now Song Ziwen exposes Sun Bingsheng's lies, and his classmates look down on him.
Sun Bingsheng immediately said angrily: "Your mother is kind to me, because she owes my mother's affection. All of this is what I deserve!"
Sun Bingsheng left, and Song Ziwen had to worry about raising the medicine.
At this time, he saw a notice posted in the city, saying that someone was willing to pay 50 taels of silver to hire a fisherman to fish at sea.
The employer's mother is old and she wants to eat Dongxing Spotfish again.
This kind of fish grows in the deep sea, and few people are willing to risk their lives to go there.
Song Ziwen thought about what the sea god said, maybe he could do it if others couldn't do it.
So Song Ziwen volunteered to agree to the job, and he also signed a life and death case.
When the employer learned that he was willing to take risks to treat his mother, the employer was also moved and added another ten taels of silver as a reward.
So Song Ziwen drove a small boat into the deep sea.
He was very happy when he saw the starfish, but before he could get closer, the huge wind and waves almost overturned the entire boat.
And Song Ziwen was also exhausted. Seeing that he was about to lose his life, he shouted loudly: "Song Ziwen is here, please save me!"
The sea surface that was just surging just now became calm after Song Ziwen finished saying this, as if nothing had happened.
So Song Ziwen brought the starfish back, and the employer also gave him 60 taels of silver.
After Zhang woke up, her good sister told her about what happened these days.
sisters said, "Then Sun Bingsheng, you have done your best. You should love your son more!"
"There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, but Song Ziwen has even sacrificed his life to save you. Where can I find such a son?"
Zhang also felt ashamed of her son over the years, and she decided to treat her son better in the future.
The mother and son have lived a happy life. A few months later, Sun Bingsheng came back, and this time he became dirty.
As soon as I asked, I learned that Sun Bingsheng had caused trouble in the academy, and the Master drove him out in anger.
Since Zhang got sick, no one has given him any money, and his classmates have been extremely disgusted with him, and no one is willing to lend him money at all.
Sun Bingsheng is used to spending money, and he wants to go on a wrong path without money.
He heard that there was a magistrate in the city who was very rich, and he wanted to go to the magistrate's house to steal money while it was dark.
Unexpectedly, he was caught and everyone in the city knew that there was a thief in the academy.
The master said angrily: "There are no students like you who are misbehaved in the academy. Don't regard yourself as my students in the future!"
Sun Bingsheng was penniless. He returned home by begging.
Although Zhang was disappointed with Sun Bingwen , he was the young lady's flesh and she kindly took Sun Bingsheng in.
Sun Bingsheng did not reflect on himself, he was still living idle.
Song Ziwen finally found him a job, but he disliked it and was bitter and dirty.
"I am a scholar, how can I do such a rough job?"
Seeing that both children were at the age of starting a family and starting a career, Zhang arranged a marriage for them.
Both sons said that they already had a sweetheart, which made Zhang very happy.
Zhang wanted to see his sons' sweethearts, but he didn't expect that when the two children said that, the three of them were stunned.
It turns out that Sun Bingsheng and Song Ziwen both fell in love with a woman named Xiu Lian at first sight, and they both wanted to marry Xiu Lian.
Zhang was in a dilemma, especially Sun Bingsheng cried and said, "How would I live without Xiulian?"
"My biological parents have all passed away. Do I really want to live alone for the rest of my life?"
Song Ziwen didn't say anything, but Zhang couldn't bear to let his son suffer any more.
She found Xiu Lian, and Zhang asked, "Do you want to be married to my son?"
Xiu Lian chose Song Ziwen, and Zhang agreed to see this.
Sun Bingsheng was unwilling to accept that he ran to question Xiu Lian: "I can study and look handsome, why don't you follow me?"
Xiu Lian explained patiently at the beginning, but when he saw that he wanted to get involved, he could only tell the truth.
"You are good at studying but become a thief, and you haven't even gotten a fame."
"You stay at home all day and refuse to work. Which woman is willing to marry someone like you?"
Sun Bingsheng listened to Xiu Lian's words, and he stared at Xiu Lian viciously. This woman really doesn't give people face when she spoke.
Sun Bingsheng can only watch Xiu Lian and Song Ziwen get married, and also watch them live a harmonious life.
Zhang also wanted to arrange a marriage for Sun Bingsheng, but when the families with daughter heard that it was he kept away from him.
"Marrying Sun Bingsheng isn't it pushing his daughter into the fire pit? We can't do such a thing!"
After three years of hard work, Song Ziwen and Xiu Lian saved up a savings, and they were preparing to open a shop in the county town.
Just as the two of them were imagining a bright future, Sun Bingsheng actually stole the silver one night.
Zhang's son was persuaded to his son: "Just forgive him, he did this because he felt too bitter!"
This time, Song Ziwen refuted his mother: "There are many people in the world whose parents died early, but they have won a world through hard work."
"Mother, you spoiled him too much before, I want him to know that not everyone can indulge him endlessly."
Song Ziwen found his friend who was a constable, and after their efforts, he finally found Sun Bingsheng.
At this time, Sun Bingsheng had already squandered all the money Song Ziwen had accumulated. He thought he could just admit his mistake when he went back, but unexpectedly, Song Ziwen personally sent him to prison.
Sun Bing said angrily: "We are all a family, why do you have to force me to such a level?"
Song Ziwen turned around and left, and he didn't want to say a word to such a person.
In the end, Sun Bingsheng was sentenced to three years. Zhang was worried about him, so he often prepared clothes and food to see him. Although he accepted the
thing, he refused to see Zhang, which made Zhang very sad.
Zhang's time was not long. Before she died, she said to her son: "If one day Sun Bingsheng is homeless, you must not let him fall into the street."
Song Ziwen nodded, and Zhang finally closed his eyes with peace of mind.
That day, Song Ziwen went to fish and suddenly saw a figure in the vortex. He rescued the figure without hesitation.
was rescued and found out that this person was actually water ghost , but Song Ziwen was not afraid.
Shui Gui was originally a nearby villager, but unexpectedly fell into the water and died after an accident.
His biggest wish is to go home and take a look, but he cannot escape from the sea.
Now that he has finally been rescued, he can go home to see his relatives, and the water ghost is very happy.
In return, the water ghost gave Zhao Ziwen an pottery figurine and said to him: "Be careful of your brother, he is coming to harm you."
Isn't Song Ziwen's brother Sun Bingsheng? They haven't met him for three years.
Song Ziwen just shook his head, and he did not take this matter to heart.
That day he went out to drink with a few friends, and after that, he was going home.
Friend said, "It's too late, so why not go back tomorrow.
Song Ziwen shook his head and walked out the door shakingly.
Because, drunk, his mind was not very clear, but he just vaguely remembered the way home.
Just as he was halfway through, he suddenly saw a man on the road.
Soon Ziwen looked closely and saw that this person was Sun Bingsheng.
It turned out that Sun Bingsheng had already come out of the prison, but he was very angry when he thought of Song Ziwen sending him to the prison.
He always thought that his mother was kind to Zhang and they could not help him with all his strength, but instead made him fall into what he is now.
He always felt that Zhang and Song Ziwen were sorry for him. Zhang died, so he could only seek revenge on Song Ziwen.
Sun Bingsheng knew that he was not Song Ziwen's opponent, so he followed Song Ziwen.
When the tiger was still napping, he didn't believe that Song Ziwen was not negligent
Finally he had a chance. Song Ziwen couldn't even stand at this time, which was a good time to deal with him.
Sun Bingsheng took a knife and ran towards Song Ziwen, and Song Ziwen woke up suddenly and ran away.
The two people chased after him for a while, and Song Ziwen was finally caught up by Sun Bingsheng because of drunkenness.
Sun Bingsheng said proudly: "You will definitely die today! "
said that he was about to stab him with a knife. At this moment, the pottery figurine on Song Ziwen's body turned into a burly figure.
He took Sun Bingsheng's knife over, and then Sun Bingsheng screamed.
Sun Bingsheng never dreamed that he was killed by the knife he prepared.
The pottery figurine turned into a pile of soil, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Song Ziwen felt that Sun Bingsheng is today, because of his nature, but he also cannot do without his mother's indulgence.
But they are dead after all, and Song Ziwen can't say anything else.
He lives happily and safely until he dies in his sleep.
summary: Repay for kindness, which is a traditional virtue, but kindness does not burden three generations. You cannot involve your family just because you want to repay kindness.
For a child, blind indulgence can only lead him to go astray, which is by no means a good thing.
People have no good thoughts and are suffering from disasters, and they will eventually be rewarded if they do bad things. You must have a degree of repaying your kindness, and keep your bottom line well and don’t indulge it.
