At the time of the Ming Dynasty , there was a place called Nanwan Village, where an old man Shen lived.
Old man Shen makes a living by farming. He looks average and has a short stature. Without a girl marrying him, he lives alone.
But recently he has become the focus of the village because he is getting married, and he is also with a young and beautiful woman.
Some villagers said, "This old man Shen is really lucky. How happy he will have in the future!" Someone next to
said sarcastically: "You didn't help me when I saw you die, but now you are talking sarcastic."
The man shut up because these are all truth.
At the beginning, a villager discovered a woman lying in the snow. It was cold and cold. If the woman was not treated in time, it would be a bad luck.
But no villagers dared to step forward. Everyone doesn’t know where this woman came from. It would be bad if she depends on her own home.
At this moment, Old Man Shen appeared and he wanted to send the woman to the clinic.
Someone quickly stopped him and said, "You don't have much money at first, so don't worry about this."
Old man Shen said, "I'm not worried about it. Being able to save someone is considered to do good deeds and accumulate virtue."
At the clinic, it took him a full amount of money for Mr. Shen's savings for several years. The woman was not seriously injured, but she had to pay more attention when she was pregnant.
When the woman woke up, Old Man Shen took her home.
The woman is named A Miao. She was originally the daughter of a rich man, but later she married a poor boy.
The poor boy started his business with A Miao's dowry, and soon he became a friendship with a rich daughter.
A Miao's husband felt that the rich family was richer, so he drove A Miao out.
A Miao had no money, so she could only walk aimlessly until she was saved by Old Man Shen.
learned that she was pregnant, she didn't know what to do, after all, she couldn't even support herself now.
Old Man Shen knew that A Miao had encountered difficulties, so he took the initiative to say, "Let's pretend to be married, so that you and your children will have a home."
"The child will not be bullied if he has an open identity, and I will be nice to the children."
A Miao thought for a while, and Old Man Shen's proposal was the best way out for her and her children.
So she nodded: "Child and I thank you for saving our lives."
After saying that, she was about to kneel down for Old Man Shen. Old Man Shen quickly stopped him and said: "It's all miserable people, don't be polite to each other."
Just like this, two people who don't seem to be compatible became a relative, and Old Man Shen took good care of A Miao.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of A Miao’s childbirth. Three days later, she had not yet given birth.
Finally she gave birth to a baby boy, and A Miao also tried her best.
有斯拉 said: "She is almost out of reach, she has something to tell you."
Old man Shen went in, A Miao said: "I will give it to you the child. I don't ask him to be rich and noble, I just hope he can be safe and healthy."
A Miao put her carry-on jade on the child's neck. This is the last blessing of a mother to the child.
Old Man Shen buried A Miao, and he said to the tombstone: "Don't worry, I will definitely regard this child as my own."
Old Man Shen named the child Shen Junsheng, and from then on, the father and son depended on each other for their own lives.
Shen Junsheng has been smart since childhood and learns everything quickly. He quietly listened outside a private school, and learned it after just listening to it once.
The master found Old Man Shen and said, "This child has good talent, it would be a pity if he doesn't study."
But this was a bit embarrassing for Old Man Shen. He didn't even have money to buy a brush, so how could he let the child study?
He asked Shen Junsheng: "Are you willing to study?"
Shen Junsheng nodded and said: "I am willing to study, I will definitely be the top scorer."
Seeing his son so ambitious, Old Man Shen felt that he could not break his son's future because of his poverty.
Old Man Shen borrowed money everywhere and finally collected enough tuition fees for his son to go to school. After
, he worked hard, and was willing to do whatever dirty and hard work just to save more money.
In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed. Shen Junsheng did not let down Old Man Shen. He looks handsome and knowledgeable, and he will have a great future in the future.
Shen Junsheng, who grew up, felt that his father was embarrassing to him, especially his classmates, who had excellent pens, ink, paper and inkstones, so he could only write with the cheapest straw paper.
The rice brought by others included chicken, duck, fish, but his lunch box only had steamed buns and pickles.
The classmates are all wealthy in their families and don’t usually get along with Shen Junsheng.
Once, the master praised Shen Junsheng for his good knowledge and asked his classmates to learn from him.
After the master left, the classmate sarcastically said: "No matter how good his knowledge is, he is a poor scholar."
Everyone burst into laughter, and Shen Junsheng said: "One day I will be better than you."
The classmate was dissatisfied: "You can't afford to eat a piece of braised pork , what can I compare with us."
Such mockery made Shen Junsheng unable to accept it. He returned home and asked Old Man Shen to make a meal of braised pork for him.
Old Man Shen sighed: "Son, our family's harvest is not good this year, and your tuition fee is not yet settled."
"When the Chinese New Year, my father will make you braised pork, please wait."
Shen Junsheng thought more than once that if he was a rich young man, why would he even hope to have a meal of braised pork now.
He made up his mind that one day he would make a fortune and never return to this home again.
It started raining heavily in the school this day, and the classmates all had servants and carriages, so they were not in a hurry.
Only Shen Junsheng is worried that the rain will continue, and he will definitely get wet when he goes home, and if he catches a cold, it will delay his study.
When he was worried, he saw an old man outside the school being wet with the rain, holding an oil paper umbrella in his hand.
At this time, the master said, "Shen Junsheng, your father has picked you up. You should go home early today!"
This is the first time my classmates have seen Shen Junsheng's father. Seeing that he is so poor and old, everyone can't help laughing at him again.
Shen Junsheng was completely embarrassed and shouted to his father: "Don't come to my school in the future."
He ignored his father's shouting and went home without even hitting an umbrella.
Sure enough, the incident of his father being a poor old man on the second day attracted the ridicule of his classmates again, especially when a classmate had a holiday with him, he laughed the loudest.
Shen Junsheng could no longer bear such ridicule, so he stepped forward and started fighting with the classmate.
This classmate's parents were all powerful people. They immediately became angry when they learned that their son had been beaten and injured.
Shen Junsheng was arrested by the government officials before he could get home, and the prison guards beat him with a whip, which was considered a culprit.
While he was recuperating in prison, he met a man named Feng Wancai. He was a thief and even went to jail to steal things.
He was about to steal the jade pendant hanging on Shen Junsheng's neck, but Shen Junsheng caught it on the spot.
"You are still thirsty when you are in prison. Do you want to go to jail for the rest of your life?"
Feng Wancai could only say, "I'm used to it, it's uncomfortable if I don't steal."
But what Feng Wancai said next made Shen Junsheng very interested.
He said: Your jade pendant is a treasure, and it is worth at least 100 taels of silver. "
I didn't expect that the inconspicuous jade pendant was worth so much money, which Shen Junsheng didn't expect.
Feng Wancai also heard about Shen Junsheng's affairs: "Your father is so poor, he will not have a jade pendant, so there is only one possibility, you are not your father's biological son. "
" Maybe you are the young master of a wealthy family. If you look for it after you go out, you don't have to live a poor life anymore. "
Shen Junsheng suddenly realized. No wonder people in the village said that his parents were not compatible. There must be something wrong here.
Finally, he was out of prison. The first thing he did when he got home was to ask his father about his life experience.
Old man Shen did not do as his son's wish this time. No matter how Shen Junsheng asked him, he would not answer.
He remembered that A Miao once said before his death: "Let this child live an ordinary life, never recognize his ancestors, otherwise he will have life worries."
For the sake of his son's life, he would not say even if he beat him to death.
But old man Shen underestimated his son's determination. Now Shen Junsheng can no longer go to school to study, he can only wander around all day long.
Gradually, he would eat, drink and have fun with some friends from all walks of life. Old man Shen spent all the money he had earned with hard work.
Old man Shen begged: "Don't spend money like this, our family will not even be able to expose the pot.
Shen Junsheng was indifferent. He said, "If you don't tell me about my life experience, I will live like this in the future. You can do it!"
How could parents be able to beat their children? In the end, it was the old man who told him about his life experience.
"Your mother just hopes you can be safe and we will live our own life."
Shen Junsheng heard that his father was a rich and powerful person, so he immediately decided to find his biological father.
He asked around with his jade pendant, but there was still no news.
Just when he was discouraged, he met Feng Wancai, the previous thief.
Feng Wancai promised, "I will help you with this matter, but you have to give me the money after the matter is done."
Chen Junsheng felt that it was no problem. As long as he found his father, could the money be less? The two hit it off.
A few days later, news came from Feng Wancai, and Shen Junsheng's father was found.
Shen Junsheng's father is now a wealthy and powerful figure in the city, and people all call him Lu Yuanwai.
He also found out a lot of inside information, which made Shen Junsheng fall into conflict again.
Lu Yuanwai abandoned his first wife back then and thought he had married a rich daughter. Later, he found out that his wife was just the adopted daughter of the rich man and had no money at all.
It's too late to regret things now. He can only make mistakes. He took Shen Junsheng's mother's dowry to do business and soon became rich.
Shen Junsheng said, "My father gave up on my mother all the time. Will he really love me like this?"
Feng Wancai said, "As long as your father gives you money, it's enough. Money can make the devil push the mill. At that time, no one will stop you from doing anything you want."
Shen Junsheng felt that it made sense when he heard this, so he took the jade pendant to find Mr. Lu on the second day.
Yuanwai Lu glanced at the jade pendant and knew that what he saw was his son.
Lu Yuanwai’s youngest son is Lu Zheng. He is 15 years old this year. He can’t study and does business as well.
Now that an excellent son has come, I am naturally overjoyed.
That night, he asked Shen Junsheng to recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown, and the father and son got along happily.
His wife Song later had a big fight with Yuanwai.
Before, the property in the family belonged to her son. Now someone wants to get a share of the pie, it would be strange if she is willing!
Faced with his wife's big quarrel, Mr. Lu pushed her down: "If we hadn't married you, the fake daughter, our family would have lived a harmonious life, and you would have dared to be arrogant!"
Song's family was in a disadvantage in this matter, so she had to leave. Before leaving, she glared at Shen Junsheng fiercely.
Lu Yuanwai found that Shen Junsheng was very smart and could learn everything. He would leave his business to him for management, and his business would definitely get better and better.
Now that Shen Junsheng has lived the life he has always dreamed of, he has long forgotten Old Man Shen, and he has no grudges towards Mr. Lu.
It was already late for him to come back from business that day, and he saw a ghost messenger looking for something on the road.
He kindly stepped forward and asked, "Is there anything I can help you?"
It turned out that the ghost messenger was going to a family to deliver a letter. A little ghost wanted to tell his family that everything was fine and that his family members would stop thinking about it.
can come here because the road is too complicated and the ghost messenger is lost.
Shen Junsheng took the ghost messenger to find the family without saying a word and handed the letter to his family in time.
Wait for them to come out, the ghost officer expressed his gratitude to him repeatedly, and before leaving, the ghost officer wrote the word "death" in his palm.
Guicha said: "This word can let you see clearly your biological father's character, which is a good thing for you."
and instructed: "Be careful of your father, he is not a good person."
Shen Junsheng looked at the words on his palm, looking confused. His father was obviously very good to him, so why did he say that?
Soon Shen Junsheng understood the meaning of the ghost messenger, because his younger brother Lu Heng had long held a grudge against him.
But he felt that his father would not be so ruthless, after all, he was also his own son.
Lu Heng saw his mother crying every day, and he felt that Shen Junsheng was his mortal enemy.
He told his friend about this matter, and his friend said, "Then you might as well kill him. Anyway, your father is only your son, and you can't do anything to you. "
Lu Heng felt that this was reasonable, so he came up with a plan.
Lu Heng looked at his parents visiting friends and brought his servants to Shen Junsheng's room.
Shen Junsheng said: "What are you going to do? "
Lu Heng smiled proudly: "Who asked you to compete with me for property? I will not let you go out alive. "
As he said that, he took out a few poisonous snakes from the bag. The poisonous snake rushed over when he saw Shen Junsheng and bit him hard.
Not long after, Shen Junsheng became unconscious, but when he thought of the ghost man's words, he lit up the words in his palm.
When the poisonous snake saw the word death, it immediately turned around and turned to bite Lu Heng.
Both of them were bitten by the snake. In a daze, Shen Junsheng heard the doctor say, "I only have one pill to save my life, you can only choose one of the two children. "
Song was crying aside: "Heng'er is a child you raised since childhood, you can't help but die! ”
Then I heard Mr. Lu say, “Lu Heng is the child I raised! "
Hearing this, Shen Junsheng shed tears. He treated Lu Yuanwai as his biological father, but in the end he was not as good as the incompetent Lu Heng.
Only then did he remember Mr. Shen. If it were him, he would definitely save himself, but there was no medicine for regret in the world.
Soon Shen Junsheng fell into a coma and was already at Mr. Shen's house when he woke up.
Although Mr. Shen was sad that his son had left, he was more worried about his son, so he came to work in the city.
If you have anything to do, he would come to Lu's house for 4 rounds, hoping to see Son.
Unexpectedly, he saw the servants of the Lu family throwing their son out, and he hurried forward to check it out.
He found that his son was seriously poisonous, so he took him back to the village.
Many villagers in the village were bitten by poisonous snakes, and the villagers all had folk remedies.
He quickly took folk remedies for his son, and Shen Junsheng saved his life.
He now finally knows that Old Man Shen is his most beloved father, and he apologized to his father.
"My son was fascinated by glory and wealth before, don't be angry with me. From now on, I will work hard and will definitely let you live a good life! "
Old Man Shen was very happy when he heard this. He said, "As long as you live a good life, I will feel at ease. "
From that day on, Shen Junsheng worked hard. Within a few years, he was admitted to the top scorer and was named a high-ranking official by the court.
The first thing he did when he passed the top scorer was to come back to pick up old man Shen to enjoy his happiness. He personally carried old man Shen on the carriage.
The villagers all envied: "Old Man Shen is the result of his hardships. Everything in the world is a good thing! ”
At this time, he saw Yuanwai coming and said, “Save your brother, it’s all the mistakes of the father. The father should not refuse to save him when he dies. "
At that time, the doctor said that Shen Junsheng was helpless, so Lu Yuanwai cruelly threw him out. Since this son was useless, what did he keep him?
Unexpectedly, Lu Heng still ate and had food, drink and fun after waking up. After a few years, he lost all his property. Now he killed someone because of an argument with someone. He would be beheaded in a few days.
He heard that Shen Junsheng had become the top scorer and hoped that Shen Junsheng, the brother, could save his younger brother's life.
Unfortunately, Shen Junsheng is no longer so easy to fool. He knew that his father did not really repent.
Shen Junsheng said: "Everyone has his own fate, and he blames his younger brother for today. He cannot blame others. ”
After saying that, he took Old Man Shen away. Not long after, Lu Heng was beheaded, while Yuanwai Lu was alone for the rest of his life.
Old Man Shen and his son live happily, and he lived to the age of 100 and died.
Summary: Only by losing everything can you know who is sincere to you. It is often too late to regret it at that time.
People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, don't trust false feelings; raise graces more than heaven, so don't think your family is poor.
