Qixia woodcutter Zhou Qing is from a poor family. His wife died early and has two sons under his knees. After his wife died, he was both a father and a mother alone, and raised his two sons alone with great difficulty. The hardships can be imagined.
Someone advised him to marry another to help him take care of his two children.
But Zhou Qing thought, people's hearts were unpredictable. If he married a stepmother who was not good to his children and his two sons suffered, how could he be worthy of his wife underground? He gritted his teeth and endured hard.
One day, he came back from picking firewood.
On the road, Zhou Qing was stunned when he saw a huge weasel lying on the ground.
This is Wong Tai Sin, so it cannot be provoked.
was about to take a detour when the weasel suddenly cried out in a tragedy, trying to stand up, standing up like a human being, and bowing to him.
Zhou Qing was very puzzled and walked over carefully and saw that the weasel was injured, dripping blood. Its belly was very big, and it looked pregnant.
Zhou Qing was kind-hearted and hurriedly tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes and bandage it the wound.
finds herbs to stop bleeding next to it, bite it into pieces, and apply it to its wound.
saw it trembling in pain, and sighed, took it home, serving it very much.
His two sons Zhou Ren, Zhou Shan likes it very much, takes care of it with his father, and often catches mice for it.
In order to supplement it with nutrition, Zhou Qing was very determined to kill the only laying hen in his family and give it to the weasel and Zhou Ren and Zhou Shan to eat.
But I hid in the kitchen, eating pickles and porridge.
A few days later, the weasel recovered from illness, and Zhou Qing planned to release it into the mountains and forests to restore it to its freedom.
But the two brothers really couldn't bear it and begged him to let them play with the weasel for a few more days.
Zhou Qing saw that his two sons were having fun with it, so he had to agree and let it live in the backyard.
Half a month later, the weasel gave birth to four white little weasels, looking very much like newborn little mice, all of whom closed their eyes and snuggled in their mother's arms to feed their breasts. The weasel was doting endlessly and looked at them with soft eyes.
Zhou Qing and his son were very happy and took care of it carefully.
But after a long time, the family was already barely able to make a living, and with the supplementary nutrition for the weasel, it was almost impossible to get out of the way. Zhou Qing was very worried.
One day, the weasel went out. When he came back, he was holding a bloody hare in his mouth and threw it in front of Zhou Qing who was about to cook.
Zhou Qing was both surprised and happy, so he hurriedly cooked the hare. Not long after, the smell was so fragrant that the two brothers were so greedy that they swallowed.
Zhou Qing brought the fragrant rabbit meat , and the father and son had a delicious meal with the weasel, which was very comfortable.
After that, the weasel always goes out, sometimes it is a hare, sometimes it is a fish.
One day, he actually brought back a chicken. The chicken was injured and struggled... and cried out in a tragic way.
Zhou Qing was stunned when he saw that this chicken was a chicken.
sighed and said, "Did you steal someone's chicken? This is wrong! The villagers are all having a hard time living, raise a chicken to satisfy their cravings. If you steal it, what should people do? It will be sad! Let's send it back."
The weasel seemed to understand it, picked it up and ran out.
After a while, I came back and looked at Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing was very happy to know that it had returned the chicken.
One day. Zhou Qing went to collect wood again. On the way home, it was almost dark, so he walked in a hurry...
I saw a weasel waiting for him on the side of the road. I was stunned and walked over quickly...
The weasel held his trouser legs in his mouth, looked up at him, let go, walked forward, and then looked back at him after walking a few steps.
Zhou Qing was very puzzled and had to follow behind...
After a while, he came to a tree in the wild. The weasel stopped and digged the soil with his claws... and stopped to look at him.
Zhou Qing understood, so he dug the soil with a sickle. However, a jar appeared. The Buddha removed the soil and opened it. Zhou Qing opened his mouth wide in shock.
suddenly collapsed on the ground, his body trembling slightly, and the jar was covered with white silver, looking blankly like a dream.
After a while, I woke up from my dream and said slowly, "This is ill-gotten wealth! Although I am poor, I dare not ask for this property of unknown origin."
After saying that, he sighed and wanted to bury the jar. The weasel cried anxiously, stopped him irritably and uneasyly. Suddenly, he used his claws to take out a yellow copybook from the jar.
Zhou Qing had read books for a few days before, and recognized a few words. He opened the flint and saw it.
These silvers are buried here by a rich man without children. It says that if a destined person is found, it belongs to him.
square breathed a sigh of relief and buried it again. The next evening, I borrowed a ox cart and transported the money home.
After that, the family was rich, but Zhou Qing still made a living by harvesting firewood. However, if there were poor people in the village who were sick, he would generously donate and help.
These silvers did not tell their two sons, because they were afraid that if the two sons knew they were rich, they would not work hard, and they would not be motivated, just like the rich family’s wine bags, how could they have a future? Only when life is difficult can they work hard and strive for progress.
His two sons grew up gradually, Zhou Qing thought that half of his life was tired and hard, and he had not lived a good life.
Now that I have money, I have to spend the money on a knife and send my two sons to a private school to study.
Two sons witnessed their father suffering for them since childhood, and swore that when they grow up, they will be filial to him and let him live a good life.
But if you want to have a good future, children from poor families can only have a way out by studying.
Therefore, the two brothers are diligent and studious. When they come home every day, they study hard and work hard.
Hard work pays off. The two brothers are at the top every time they take the exam. The gentleman feels that they have no worries about their future.
Zhou Qing was very happy and hoped that his two sons would be successful, so he would stop working and enjoy the happiness with them.
More than a few years later, the weasel changed from mother and son to a big family of about a hundred people.
And the Zhou Ren and Zhou Shan brothers also grew up and achieved success and fame.
Zhou Ren passed the exam and became a county magistrate in Linxian . He handled cases impartially, loved the people as his children, had a good reputation and a bright future.
. Because Zhou Shan frequently failed, Zhou Qing took out some money to ask him to do a business. Unexpectedly, the business was good, and the wealth was abundant, and the family finally lived a good life.
The two brothers thought that their father had suffered a lot of fatigue and suffered a lot in half of his life. This time, let him enjoy the rest of his life.
Never expected that the two brothers got married.
Soon after, Zhou Qing actually got seriously ill and died suddenly.
The two brothers were heartbroken, their hearts were cut like a knife, the dignified seven-foot man cried and tears were filled with tears.
On the night, the two brothers knelt on the ground to keep a guard, recalling that their father did not enjoy his happiness when he was alive. Now that his family is getting better, he has passed away, which makes him even more sad.
Kneel in front of the coffin with tears on his face, his heart tugging, feeling unfilial.
After a while, the two brothers suddenly heard a thud of noise in the coffin and were shocked.
The second son Zhou Shan thought he had cheated on the zombie and wanted to run away, but his elder brother Zhou Ren was as stable as Mount Tai and said to his younger brother Zhou Shan with surprise: "This must be because my father still loves us deeply, and he is reluctant to leave, and he is alive!"
stood up and wanted to open the coffin.
Zhou Shan was shocked and said: "Brother, don't you! What should I do if I really cheated and hurt my family?"
"If my father can survive, even if he cheated, what if he cheated, so what!"
The boss Zhou Ren said with confidence, and resolutely opened the coffin and looked at it, both surprised and happy.
Father Zhou Qing actually came to life and hurriedly waved his hand to Zhou Shan aside.
said ecstaticly: "Father is alive! Come here soon." After hearing this, Zhou Shan came over carefully and saw that it was indeed the case. He happily helped "father" out with his brother.
The two brothers rushed to ask him how he survived?
Zhou Qing said happily: "I went to the underworld because I was very sad because I miss you. The Ghost King pity me! So I put me back." After hearing this, the two brothers were extremely excited and ordered people to put on wine and food to celebrate.
After that, the two brothers rushed to respect him, obeyed him and obeyed him in every way. They bought him a mansion in the wild and a few servants to serve him, and took the time to accompany him out for fun.
But Zhou Qing doesn’t like living in a luxury house, he still likes living in an old house.
The brothers saw that the old house was really dilapidated and wanted to build the house, but Zhou Qing disagreed and said that it was still comfortable to live in the old house.
The two brothers were helpless and had to let him go.
Since Zhou Qing was resurrected, she has been served, eating delicacies and wearing silk and satin. Every time she goes out for a trip in a sedan chair, she will yell and hug some servants to serve her, living a life of immortality.
What puzzled the brothers was that after my father was resurrected, he loved to eat chicken and fish, and it was uncomfortable if he didn't eat it for a day.
Therefore, the housekeeper and the chef were busy. The housekeeper was responsible for buying chicken and fish and changing the samples with the chef to make chicken.
After a long time, Zhou Shan found that the habit of "father" was different from before and his behavior was strange. It's very strange, I don't know what's going on.
After that, observe carefully.
A few months later, the more I looked, the more I became, the more I saw it, the more I was not right. He expressed his questions to his brother, thinking that his father was not a human being.
Brother Zhou Ren heard this, but disagreed and said slowly: "Father" has been to the underworld, which is where ghosts live. When they return to the world, they will definitely change. It is understandable, what's so strange about it. Besides, since he is the original body of his father, he suffered so much when he was alive! He passed away without enjoying his happiness. No matter whether he is a ghost or a demon, we must also be filial. In this way, we will feel good and have no regrets! "
After hearing this, Zhou Shan felt that his brother was right and admired him very much.
After that, he no longer doubted the identity of "father" and was even more filial to him.
A year later, one night, their "father" Zhou Qing called them to him and said with a serious expression: "I called you two brothers here. There is something to tell you. Tell me, don't be afraid! I am not your father, I am Wong Tai Sin, the weasel your father saved back then. In order to save me, your family has done all their help and moved me. Later, in order to repay your kindness, I helped your family become rich. However, your father has concealed the money by studying hard in order to make you motivated. You brothers live up to expectations, are very successful and have a worry-free future. However, just after a good life, your father passed away, and life is alive, and I can't save him! But I was very curious. When you were poor, the two brothers were very filial. If they were rich, would they fight to fight for property, abandon and abuse their father? I want to test it for your father. Of course, it is also a test for my family. If you two are unfilial, you will not treat my descendants well in the backyard. Now, after listening to Zhou Ren's words, I'm relieved, I will bless you to make a fortune! "
After saying that, a white mist suddenly lingered.
Their "father" disappeared, and a huge weasel appeared in front of him, leaving swagger...
The two brothers looked at each other as if they were dreaming.
After that, they came to their senses and knelt down and kowtowed.
After that, more and more weasels were in the backyard of the old house.
Their life was getting better and better, and they bought several new houses, but they never had the idea of flipping the old house.
In order to thank the old Huang Xian for his great kindness, the two brothers made a tablet for Huang Xian, kneeling down sooner or later, until they were old.
