In the Song Dynasty, there was a man named Su Ming. He was idle all day long and refused to do any work.

His father proposed marriage for him, and when others heard that it was him, they all shook their heads.

"He can't make any money, so why marry his daughter to him?"

Even at the age of 30, he is still alone.

Everyone thought that he would be like this for the rest of his life, but a small thing actually made him work hard and make progress. Even his parents were surprised.

Su Ming was wandering on the street when a beggar stepped on his foot. Su Ming felt very painful.

The beggar went even further and refused to even apologize. Su Ming stopped him.

"Stop, you stepped on my foot. You didn't even say sorry?"

The beggar said, "I will definitely apologize to others, but forget it if it's you."

Su Ming was not convinced, and he started fighting with the beggar. .

The beggar travels around all year round. He is good at fighting, and Su Ming is no match for him.

He was knocked to the ground, and the beggar said: "I make a living based on my ability. Unlike you, you can't even support yourself without your parents."

After the beggar left, Su Ming thought for a long time. He knew that he could no longer do this. Live a good life, otherwise he will be looked down upon by others for the rest of his life.

He felt that he must learn a trade so that he could survive.

He went to Carpenter Li and asked him to accept him as his disciple.

Su Ming said: "I just want to learn the craft from you, as long as I can support myself in the future."

Li Carpenter saw that he was sincere in learning the craft and agreed.

He said: "If you don't study hard, I won't teach you anymore."

Also studying with him was Carpenter Li's distant nephew named Li Xun.

Li Xun also looked down on Su Ming like everyone else, thinking that he was just a novelty in Tuyi.

What they didn't expect was that Su Ming actually persisted. Even if his hand was injured, he didn't stop. This made Li Carpenter very satisfied.

Su Ming's performance frightened Li Xun. If Carpenter Li passed all his skills to Su Ming, then he would be nothing here.

Carpenter Li has a skill, that is, when building a house, as long as he masters this skill, the house he builds will be strong and beautiful.

Everyone who builds a house hopes to find a good carpenter, so Li Xun has been studying seriously with Carpenter Li, and he must find a way to learn this craft.

Li Xun asked Su Ming to clean up Carpenter Li's house. Su Ming continued working after cleaning.

On the second day, Carpenter Li was furious because his ruler actually broke.

This ruler was given to him by his master, and he has always cherished it.

Carpenter Li asked: "Who did it?"

Both of them shook their heads. Li Xun said: "I asked you for leave yesterday and went home, and I didn't come in all day."

Su Ming said: "Although I came in to clean , but I didn't break anything."

Li Carpenter was very angry. He said: "Li Xun went home and I didn't come in. "

"It's okay to do something wrong, but it's your fault if you don't admit it."

Ming now apologizes to Carpenter Li, and Carpenter Li will forgive him, but if he hasn't done it, he hasn't done it.

"I told you it wasn't me, why don't you believe it?"

Carpenter Li felt that Su Ming was dishonest, so he asked Su Ming to leave.

"If you can't even be honest, what else can I teach you?"

Su Ming could only leave. Without learning the trade, he started working as an oil seller.

Although making money is hard, Su Ming is happy that he can support himself.

He was selling oil on the street and saw an old man in the distance who looked very much like Carpenter Li. He quickly stepped forward.

When he got closer, he saw that it was Carpenter Li. At this time, he had fallen to the ground.

Su Ming sent Carpenter Li to the hospital. The doctor said that he was seriously ill and he probably didn't have much time left.

When Li Carpenter woke up, he knew that Su Ming had saved him, and he felt very guilty.

"It was my fault at the beginning. I wronged you without investigating clearly."

Since Su Ming left, Carpenter Li has taught Li Xun all his skills.

After Li Xun finished his studies, Carpenter Li fell ill. He has no children and has always hoped that Li Xun will take care of him in his old age.

When Li Xun found out, he said to Carpenter Li: "You are not my parents, why should you ask me to provide for you in old age?"

While Carpenter Li was seriously ill, Li Xun took away Carpenter Li's savings. Carpenter Li had no money. Treatment, the condition is getting worse day by day.

Su Ming took care of Carpenter Li regardless of past grudges, and he remembered everything Su Ming did.

When he felt better, he asked Su Ming to take him to Li Xun.

Su Ming advised: "You are feeling better, so you should rest well at home!"

Li Carpenter said: "I am not going to be angry with him, I want to get back what belongs to me."

Li Xun has been away since Carpenter Li, there are many people looking for him to work. The families he works for are all rich people, and they pay a lot of wages.

Li Xun only needs two years to save a large amount of money, and then he will do nothing.

When he was feeling proud, Su Ming came up with Carpenter Li.

Li Xun was not surprised when he saw them. He said rudely: "What are you doing here? You don't even want to see where this place is."

Li Carpenter said: "I can teach you and take back your craftsmanship." "

Li Xun doesn't believe it, how can he take back what he has already learned?

Carpenter Li brought a bowl of water and poured it on the ground.

Carpenter Li said: "I don't have such an ungrateful apprentice! You must pay back what you owe me."

The water that was spilled just returned to the bowl.

Carpenter Li said: "See if you can still be a carpenter now."

Li Xun found that his hands were missing. Let alone building a house, he didn't even know what to do with an ink fountain .

He was a little panicked, and Li Xun quickly said to Carpenter Li: "Master, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

"I will provide for you until the end of your life, and I will treat you well."

Carpenter Li only said one sentence : "If I had known today, why would I have to do it in the first place."

After saying this, Su Ming took Carpenter Li and left.

Carpenter Li passed away not long after, and before his death he taught Su Ming his craft.

"It takes time to see people's hearts. I am very happy to have you as my apprentice."

After Li Carpenter's death, Su Ming made a lot of money from this craft, and his life became better and better.

Su Ming had a friend hold a wedding banquet, and he came to attend. There were many people who came that day, and the table was already full.

Su Ming came early and found a seat to sit down.

This is when he noticed a woman coming over. She could not see her eyes and could only walk cautiously.

She walked to several tables, but no one was willing to give up her seat.

Su Ming couldn't stand it anymore, so he said to the blind girl, "Sit here."

The blind girl was very grateful, and she said, "There are still many good people in this world."

Su Ming didn't care, and he just found a place. Eat while standing.

Su Ming was about to leave after the meal, but the blind girl came to look for him.

Su Ming asked: "Is there anything else you need help with?"

The blind girl said: "You are going to be in trouble."

Before Su Ming could ask anything, the blind girl continued: "You saw it while you were working. FireworksYou must stop."

"If you are working in the house, you must come out of the house."

Although he did not understand what the blind girl was saying, Su Ming still agreed. , he really couldn't figure out who wanted to harm him.

When they were working in a house, they suddenly heard a child shouting: "Set off fireworks, hurry up and watch."

Su Ming also put down his work and came out. After a while, he heard someone shouting: "The house Collapsed. "

If Su Ming had not come out, his life would have been in danger.

At this time, he saw an ink fountain in the corner. Others did not recognize him, but he recognized it.

At that time, they worshiped Carpenter Li as their teacher, and Carpenter Li gave each of them an ink fountain.

"It can help you block danger, but you must not do bad things."

Su Ming took the ink fountain and went to find Li Xun. Li Xun was already sick and lying in bed.

Li Xun admitted that he did it. If Su Ming hadn't been so troublesome, he could still make a lot of money now, and his illness might be curable.

Li Xun couldn't be a carpenter, and he had no skills, so he had no choice but to do hard work.

Unexpectedly, he was accidentally injured while working. In order to survive, he could only become a beggar.

One day he felt uncomfortable and went to the medical clinic to see a doctor. The doctor said that your disease could not be cured.

He felt pain all over his body, and it was getting worse.

The doctor said: "This is a disease of jealousy. If you want to cure it, you must be open-minded and tolerant of yourself and others. This is the best medicine."

Li Xun also wanted to do the same, but when he thought about Su Ming's current life Better than him, he felt very uncomfortable.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became and his condition worsened.

The doctor said, "I have no choice. Your jealousy is too strong."

Li Xun was unwilling to give in. Even if he didn't live long, he couldn't make Su Ming feel better.

He used the ink pipe given by Carpenter Li to destroy the foundation of the house, and the house naturally collapsed.

He thought that Su Ming would definitely die, but he didn't expect that he would actually hide.

Su Ming was not angry. Instead, he said to Li Xun: "If you were kind-hearted, how could you have reached this point? It's all your own fault."

"I'm not as good as you in any way, but I have a conscience."

Not long after Su Ming left, Li Xun passed away. Later, people could not even find his tomb.

Su Ming married a wife and had children, and the family lived happily together.

summary : As long as people work hard, it is never too late. The prodigal son can never change his fortune. As long as he understands, there is a bright road ahead.

Everyone has jealousy, and it would be a good thing if it can be turned into motivation for moving forward.

Some people are carried away by jealousy and do many bad things, and in the end they will not live well.

Nothing in the world that can be easily obtained will last long. Only what you get through your own efforts belongs to you.

The path in life is your own choice, don’t regret it until you reach the end.

If you are upright, you are not afraid of slanting shadows, let alone strong winds and rain.
