Liu Changshun is twenty-two years old and has not married yet. This age was already an older young man in ancient times, but marrying a wife was not an easy task for him, because Liu Changshun not only had a poor family, but also had an old lady in her sixties in her twenties, Wang, who wanted to support her, so no girl was willing to fall in love with her.
In fact, Wang was not Liu Changshun's biological mother, but she picked it up on the road. This matter started from a day a year ago. It was a bleak afternoon in autumn wind. Liu Changshun went home from selling firewood in the city. When he walked to a mountain road, he saw an old lady lying in the grass by the roadside.
Liu Changshun is kind-hearted and often does good deeds. He doesn't care about such things. He put his hand on the old lady's nose and tried it. The old lady was still breathing, so he carried the old lady home without saying a word.
When I returned home, I quickly found a doctor in the village to treat it. The doctor said that the old lady was weak and prescribed a few doses of medicine for her to take. Under Liu Changshun's careful care, the old lady's health was much better.
The old lady's surname is Wang. She said she came from another place to seek refuge with her relatives. Unexpectedly, her relatives moved a few years ago. Wang had no money on her body and could only beg for food nearby. But in that era, no family was rich. Wang didn't ask for food for two days. She was tired and hungry, and she fainted on the side of the road because she was exhausted.
Liu Changshun learned from Wang's words that she had no children and was pitiful. Liu Changshun was an orphan again, so he said he recognized Wang as his mother. Wang said, "I can't help you, even an old woman, and it will add burden to you. I'd better leave!"
Liu Changshun said, "I have never had my parents since I was a few years old. I have lived alone for so many years. I really saw that others have mothers. I am very envious. It would be great if I had a mother! It's a pity... If you don't dislike me, stay and be my mother! I will respect you very much..."
Wang was moved by Liu Changshun's sincerity and stayed. The mother and son depended on each other for life. It was not that the mother and son were better than the mother and son. When the villagers heard that Liu Changshun picked up a mother, everyone was talking about it. Some people said that Liu Changshun was kind and would be rewarded, while others said that he would pick up a burden and marrying a wife was even more difficult.
There is a woman named Zhu living next door to Liu Changshun. Zhu made a living by bringing matchmaking to others. Almost all the men in the village were matchmakers. The kind neighbor asked Zhu to find a wife for Liu Changshun. However, Zhu said, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but his family is so poor that no girl is willing to marry him? For the sake of the villagers in the village, I can only do my best!"
Sure enough, a few days later, Zhu came to Liu Changshun's house and said that she had found a girl for him. But when she saw the girl Liu Changshun, she was stunned. The girl was snot and scratched her mouth, which was obviously abnormal. Of course he was not happy. When the villagers found out, they also accused Zhu of being unauthorized. Wasn't she obviously humiliating Liu Changshun?
When Zhu saw the villagers accusing her, he felt very wronged and said, "I'm not meddling in other people's business, right? In the situation of his family, he still wants to marry a normal girl. He just dreams in the daytime. It's good to be able to marry a wife. If there is any capital to be picky, I think he's just waiting to be a bachelor!"
In fact, Zhu's words are quite reasonable. Since then, Liu Changshun has no hope of marrying a wife, and is determined to chop wood and sell money to serve me.
Liu Changshun is a good person who often helps the elderly in the village to work. The elderly in the village are worried about his marriage. An old man introduced his granddaughter Xiaolian to Liu Changshun. Seeing that Liu Changshun was handsome and a kind person, Xiaolian agreed to this marriage. Liu Changshun was also very satisfied with Xiaolian, and the marriage between the two was decided.
But only two days after getting engaged, Xiaolian's family came to the Liu family to regret the marriage, saying that Xiaolian was unwilling to marry Liu Changshun and despised his family for being too poor. Later, Liu Changshun found out that it was his cousin Liu Tianbao who pried Xiaolian away.
That day, when Xiaolian came to date, Liu Tianbao fell in love with the beautiful Xiaolian when he saw it, so he went to Xiaolian's house to propose marriage with gifts. They learned that Liu Tianbao's house had dozens of acres of land and dozens of cattle and sheep, so they decided to regret the marriage and asked Xiaolian to marry Liu Tianbao as a young man.
is not sweet. Since they are about to regret the marriage, Liu Changshun agreed without saying a word. After this incident, Liu Changshun completely gave up on marrying a wife.
Wang Shi didn't say anything, but she felt very guilty. She felt that she had dragged Liu Changshun down. On a dark and windy night, Wang Shi quietly left.
The next morning, Liu Changshun did not see Wang get up and felt very strange. He went to the room to see what was going on. As a result, he saw that the room was empty and Wang had long disappeared. There was a letter on the table in the room, and there was a gold medal next to it.
Liu Changshun held the note, but he was ignorant and could only find the teacher in the village to take a look. When the teacher saw the font, he said that Wang was not an ordinary person. The letter said that she was old and wanted to return to her hometown to return to her roots. The gold medal was left for Liu Changshun. Thank him for his care over the past year.
Mart Wang and Liu Changshun spent more than a year together, and the mother and son had already had a deep relationship. Now she has returned to her hometown, but she is alone, so Liu Changshun was very worried, so she planned to look for it.
Besides, the villagers heard that Wang had left and left a gold medal for Liu Changshun. Everyone said that Liu Changshun's kindness was finally rewarded. The girls' eyes looked at Liu Changshun differently. Zhu's matchmaker took the initiative to come to the door and said he wanted to say hello to him, but Liu Changshun refused.
A month later, Liu Changshun harvested the crops in the field, sold the grain, and set off for Anqing Mansion with the gold medal. After a long journey, he finally arrived at his destination.
Liu Changshun only knew that Wang's home belonged to Anqing Mansion, but Anqing Mansion was as big as a land area, looking for needles in a haystack. He asked door to door with the gold medal, but after many days of inquiring, he didn't find any news about Wang.
The money he had spent had been spent. In order to survive, Liu Changshun decided to ask about Wang's whereabouts while working. He came to the local tooth market to find a job.
A middle-aged man walked up to him and said that Zhou Yuanwai's family needed a handyman and asked him to do it. He asked him if he would like it or not. Liu Changshun agreed without saying a word.
The so-called handyman is chopping firewood, cleaning, carrying water and other miscellaneous tasks. The female family members at home will follow suit when they go out to protect the personal safety of the female family members.
Liu Changshun has been working hard since he was a child. Being a handyman is nothing to him. He worked hard and did the Zhou family's miscellaneous work beautifully.
Since Liu Changshun came to the Zhou family, in addition to doing miscellaneous work, he went to ask the doctor to treat Mr. Zhou. He learned from the servants of the Zhou family that Mr. Zhou was seriously ill. It is said that this disease was caused by Mr. Zhou’s newly married concubine Liu Yiyi.
Mr. Zhou was seventy-eight years old at the time. Just a few months ago, he bought a beautiful little lady from a tooth woman. This little lady was Liu Yiyi.
Liu Yiyi looks only sixteen or seventeen years old. She gave birth to a look of falling fish and falling geese and a look of shamelessness. Mr. Zhou married Liu Yiyi as his concubine.
Since marrying Liu Yiyi as a child, Mr. Zhou has been in her room day and night. The eldest wife Wu Shi was worried about his body and reminded him to be more restrained, otherwise he would have his life in it, but Mr. Zhou did not take it seriously and insisted on his own.
Although Liu Yiyi was young, she was very scheming. In order to make Mr. Zhou spoil her alone, she gave him medicine. Mr. Zhou finally lost his energy and fell ill.
Wu quickly invited the doctor to treat it. The doctor shook his head when he saw it and said that he would keep Master Zhou away from women. If he was exhausted, he understood as soon as he heard it and said, "It was all that little fairy who was harmed. Since she came to Zhou's family, she pestered the master and sang every night. It would be strange if nothing happened!"
Everyone said that Liu Yiyi was the culprit. The most intolerable thing was that she actually gave Master Zhou medicine. Everyone unanimously asked for punishment.
Wu said, "I will deal with this matter."From then on, the concubine named Liu Yiyi was locked in the woodshed in the backyard by Wu, and she was not allowed to leave the house even if she had eaten, drink, defecate and slaughter. Liu Changshun had been to Zhou's house for almost two months and had never seen Liu Yiyi.
It was not until Master Zhou died that Wu released Liu Yiyi and asked her to keep the spirits for Master Zhou. In order to prevent her from escaping at night, Liu Changshun looked at Liu Yiyi at night.
Liu Yiyi is a young woman who looks weak. Liu Changshun could not associate her with the person who killed Master Zhou in everyone's mouth. Instead, she felt that she was innocent and felt pity for her.
"Sleep for a while, I'll take you for you! "At the third update, Liu Changshun saw Liu Yiyi kneeling in front of the spirit and dozing off, and almost knocked her head into the brazier, so he couldn't bear it, so he walked to her and said.
Liu Yiyi said, "Thank you, no need. If the eldest lady finds out, you will be implicated! "Liu Changshun saw that she refused, and did not force her.
3 update a day. Liu Yiyi couldn't hold on anymore, so she fell asleep on the pillar of the mourning hall. Liu Changshun wanted to take off her coat and cover her, but she was afraid that others would misunderstand, so she was about to go to the management room to ask for a blanket. When he walked outside the room, he heard a strange sound from the room.
Liu Changshun stopped, held his breath and spit out his ears and listened carefully. After the strange sound passed, he heard a woman's voice saying, "When the old man was buried, let her go with him, and this family will be ours in the future! "
"Okay, the old man didn't know how he died before he died. Hahaha, our family of three will never spend all their property this Zhou family! "This male voice is Zhou Fulin, the housekeeper of the Zhou family, and the female voice just now is Wu.
Liu Changshun was frightened and sweated in a cold sweat when he heard the conversation between the two. It turned out that Master Zhou's death was not simple. He was afraid that the two of them would find it, so he quickly returned to the mourning hall.
Master Zhou has passed away for six days, and tomorrow is the seventh day. They want Liu Yiyi to bury Master Zhou. Liu Changshun was frightened when he thought about it, so he woke up Liu Yiyi and said, "Your death is coming but you don't know. Come with me quickly, they will take action tomorrow! "
Liu Yiyi listened to Liu Changshun's words and was confused and said, "What does it mean? "
Liu Changshun said: "The eldest wife wants you to be buried with Mr. Zhou! So you have to leave tonight! "
Liu Yiyi burst into tears as soon as she heard this and said, "Where can I run? If they are caught by them, you will not be able to survive even if you are implicated. If I don’t leave, all my relatives will leave. Death is the best destination for me! Just let me die. "
"Your relatives are gone, so you should live well, and it is also for them, do you know? Walk! "Liu Changshun couldn't care about so much, so he pulled Liu Yiyi and ran away. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a group of people holding sticks in his hands as soon as he left the door, and quickly caught the two of them.
They tied the two to the big tree in the yard, and called Wu and the butler again. Wu walked to Liu Yiyi and said angrily, "Liu Yiyi, you killed the master. Before the master's body was cold, you were going to elope with others. You have violated serious family law and must be dealt with by family law."
She looked at Liu Changshun again and said, "Liu Changshun, you have been so arrogant after just a few days in Zhou's house. You are so ignorant! "
Liu Yiyi said: "This has nothing to do with him. If you let him go, I will bear everything alone! "
Wu sneered and said, "So affectionate! How sad this made the master hear it. He was so kind to you during his lifetime. I didn’t expect you to have a new love so soon. Let me tell you that both of you will be buried with the master! "
The next day, relatives and friends who came to pay their respects knew what Liu Yiyi did, and everyone accused and scolded her. Wu cried and said, "The master did not listen to my advice and was eventually killed by this vixen . His body was not cold and he was cuckolded again. It was so pitiful..."
After hearing Wu's crying, everyone picked up stones, rotten vegetable leaves, and eggs to smash them on the two of them. Everyone unanimously asked Liu Yiyi to bury Master Zhou and use Liu Changshun's head to pay tribute to Mr. Zhou. The dead soul! "
Wu said, "Liu Yiyi killed the master. I thought she would spare her once when she was young and ignorant. Unexpectedly, she would flirt with other men in front of the master's spirit and elope. This is the biggest insult to the master, and it is unbearable!"
As he said that, he ordered someone to carry another coffin and let someone put Liu Yiyi in, "Stop it, I have something to say!" Now, no matter whether these people believe it or not, Liu Changshun wants to tell the truth.
"You are a humble servant, what qualifications do you have to speak!" Wu said angrily, and everyone followed suit and refused to let Liu Changshun speak.
But Liu Changshun didn't listen to them and said loudly: "I'll tell you a shocking secret. The eldest lady's adulterer is Zhou Fulin, the housekeeper of the Zhou family. Master Zhou was conspired to kill him!"
Everyone calmed down when they heard it and looked at the arrogant Wu family. Wu family was furious when they heard it, as if she was really wronged, and roared angrily: "You... you talk nonsense, now I understand that you have been hooked up with Liu Yiyi long ago, so You have come to the Zhou family to do things. Now I have caught your handle, but you are turning the tables! "
Liu Changshun said, "There is a god three feet above your head, and you will get retribution sooner or later!"
Wu said to everyone, "I have been married to the master for many years. We are always loving and respectful to each other. How could I harm the master? He is spreading rumors and slandering me. Don't be fooled by him..." Everyone expressed their belief in her after hearing what Wu said.
butler Zhou Fulin shouted, "As soon as the time comes, the master's coffin is about to set off. Hurry up and put the burial person into the coffin, so you can't delay the auspicious time!" Several men forced Liu Yiyi into the coffin and then stared at the lid.
Several big men were escorting Liu Changshun, walking in the front of the funeral procession, preparing to end his life in the cemetery. Liu Changshun thought to himself that he was really going to die, but the bad guy was not punished. He was unwilling to give up and was even more at ease with his mother Wang.
Just when Liu Changshun was discouraged, he suddenly saw a blue eight-carriage sedan coming towards him, followed by a group of officials with uniform clothing.
Liu Changshun heard the storyteller that the person sitting in the blue sedan was the magistrate. At this time, he seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. When the sedan chair walked to them, he shouted desperately, "Mr. Magistrate, I am wronged. Magistrate, the magistrate, a magistrate, a magistrate, is the magistrate, a magistrate, a magistrate, a magistrate, a magistrate..."
The person in the blue sedan chair heard the shout and ordered the sedan chairman to stop and walked out of the sedan chair a young man in his twenties. He wore a brand new official uniform, but several big men turned a blind eye and continued to move forward, but were stopped by several official officers with swords. The leading man said, "What do you want to do? Today, Mr. Zhou was in funeral, and it took time for you to lose food and take care of him!"
The Zhou family is the richest man in Anqing Prefecture, and even the magistrate has to respect them three points, so the servants of the Zhou family are also very rampant.
"Okay! Today I'm going to see why I can't afford to take care of myself?" said the young man, and asked his subordinates to stop the funeral procession.
Liu Changshun quickly said, "Mr. Zhou and the housekeeper killed Mr. Zhou. Please observe clearly!"
The Wu family in the crowd saw the official blocking the road, and he was very scared when he heard Liu Changshun say this, but the housekeeper said, "Today is the day for Mr. Zhou to have funerals. Let it be made public quickly. If you delay the auspicious time, you can't bear this responsibility!" Everyone also shouted.
An elderly man next to the young man said, "This is the newly appointed County Magistrate Li, the parents of our common people. Today, when someone shouts for justice, the lord will not stand by and watch!"
"Mr. Magistrate, the Zhou family's concubine was also put into the coffin by them, begging the lord to rescue her." Liu Changshun said anxiously.
The magistrate then noticed that there were two coffins in the crowd, so he ordered someone to open them and let Liu Yiyi out. Liu Yiyi knelt in front of the magistrate and cried bitterly, saying that he had not harmed anyone.
Wu family was about to come forward to scold Liu Yiyi, but was caught by the official officer. When the housekeeper Zhou Fulin saw that something was wrong, he wanted to slip away, but was also stopped by the official officer. They took the four of them to the county government and asked the coroner to examine the autopsy for the Zhou official.
After several people were taken to the county government office, the magistrate held a trial and asked Zhou Yuanwai how he died. Wu insisted that Liu Yiyi gave him too many tonics and eventually died of sperm loss.
Liu Changshun said in detail what he saw and heard. The magistrate said, "I'll be here today and I'll be retrial tomorrow!" After that, he withdrew.
Coroner told the magistrate that Zhou Yuanwai did not die of taking too much tonic, but died of poisoning. For several days, the magistrate visited all the pharmacies in the county town and finally found the clues from the drug purchase records of a pharmacy shop, and brought the worker he was in charge to the county government.
The magistrate took out the drug purchase voucher and asked Zhou Fulin if he knew him. Zhou Fulin was shocked, but he denied it, saying that it was Liu Yiyi who stole his seal and bought the poison.
"Since it was bought by someone else, how do you know it was a poison, not a tonic?" asked the magistrate, and Zhou Fulin realized that he was being surrounded.
"Wu, your husband died of chronic poisoning, but you said he died of overdose of tonics. Why do you want to hide the truth?"
Wu quickly argued as soon as he heard this: "I saw Liu Yiyi taking tonics for my husband. I thought it was just to kill him, but she didn't expect that she was so cruel and killed my husband with poison. The county magistrate. Lord, make the decision for me! "
At this time, the yamen runner brought a person. Wu and Zhou Fulin almost frightened to death when they saw this person. This person was no one else, but Lao Bai, a handyman from the Zhou family. Lao Bai accidentally discovered the affair between them. The two fired him on the excuse that he was too old. On the way home, Lao Bai was pushed down the cliff by the people they sent, but he was blocked by a big tree and did not fall down, saving his life.
Now there are evidence from Lao Bai and the pharmacy shop staff, plus the drug purchase certificate, all the evidence and physical evidence. Wu and Zhou Fulin knew that they could not escape, so they explained the causes and consequences of their crimes. The truth of the matter shocked everyone.
It turns out that the housekeeper Zhou Fulin is Zhou Yuanwai's cousin. In order to get Zhou Yuanwai's property, Zhou Fulin introduced his lover Wu to Zhou Yuanwai as a concubine.
After Wu came to the Zhou family, he and Zhou Fulin used a disagreement strategy to drive away Zhou Yuanwai's wife Wang and his son Zhou Zhiming. Wu gave birth to a daughter for Zhou Yuanwai, who was actually Zhou Fulin's.
Zhou Fulin and Wu did not intend to kill Zhou Yuanwai at first, but just waited for him to die before occupying the property. Unexpectedly, they occasionally met Wang a year ago. They were afraid that Wang's son would go back to the Zhou family to grab the property, so they secretly followed Wang, and then went to harm the mother and son at night, but the two disappeared.
So they discussed killing Zhou Yuanwai, and then adopted all his property to the name of Wu's mother and daughter. By then, Zhou Yuanwai's son would not be able to distribute any property when he came back.
Just as they were about to implement the plan, Zhou Yuanwai bought a concubine, so Wu was about to use a knife to kill people. She put the prepared chronic poison in the tonic and asked Liu Yiyi to boil medicine for Zhou Yuanwai to drink every day, saying that it was to strengthen her physical fitness. Liu Yiyi didn't know the inside story, so she did it. In the end, Zhou Yuanwai died.
Now the truth is revealed, the magistrate ordered people to put Wu and Zhou Fulin in the death row. Qiu Hou asked for the death row. At this moment, an old man and an old lady suddenly walked in.
The magistrate saw it and quickly walked to the old man and said, "Father, I'm going to go back to pick you up after I finish my work. I didn't expect you to come by yourself! My father is tired!" It turned out that the old man was the magistrate's father.
Liu Changshun was shocked when he saw the old woman beside the old man. Isn’t this the mother Wang he is looking for? "Mom!" Liu Changshun grabbed Wang's hand at once, and Wang was shocked when he saw Liu Changshun.
The old man looked at Liu Changshun and said, "You are Liu Changshun. Your mother often mentions you and says you are a kind-hearted and good child!"
The old man pointed at the Wang family beside him and said to his son, "Zhiming, this is your biological mother! She suffered a lot for you!" The magistrate looked at the teary Wang family, and knelt down to recognize her mother.
Wu and Zhou Fulin both saw this scene as if they had seen a ghost during the day. It turned out that this magistrate was Zhou Zhiming who was driven away by them back then.
Wang looked at the shocked look of the two and said, "You two are cruel and ruthless, and they are in love with each other. Unfortunately, the fate of today is destined to be long ago!"
When Wang and his son were kicked out of the Zhou family, Zhou Zhiming was only one year old. Wang was a strong woman. She was unwilling to join her parents' home, so she traveled to the neighboring county, fostered the child at the home of her distant relative, Old Man Li, and left all her dowry jewelry as the cost of her child's study.
After Wang arranged his son, he returned to Anqing Mansion and found a remote place to live. She did this to monitor the Zhou family's every move. Sooner or later, she and her son would return to the Zhou family. Unexpectedly, they were discovered by Wu and the others, so she ran away, and she was rescued by Liu Changshun.
After Wang left Liu Changshun's house, he went to find Old Man Li. At that time, Old Man Li was lying in the bed and was very sick. Only then did Wang realize that Old Man Li's wife had long passed away and her son went to Beijing to take the exam. She left her to take care of the sick Old Man Li while waiting for news about her son.
When the two learned that Zhou Zhiming was the top scorer and was appointed as the magistrate of Anqing Prefecture by the court. They couldn't wait for their son to go back to pick him up, and they ran over, but they encountered this scene.
Now everything is clear. Zhou Fulin and Wu, who have committed many evil deeds, were thrown into death row, while Liu Changshun and Zhou Zhiming became brothers of different surnames. With Zhou Zhiming's matchmaking, Wang and Old Man Li got married, and Liu Changshun and Liu Yiyi also got married.
Liu Changshun and Liu Yiyi stayed in the Zhou family and together with Zhou Zhiming, respecting Wang and Old Man Li, the whole family lived in harmony and had a happy life!
