years of the Song Dynasty, there was a woman named Liu Shuniang in Xiukou Town, Yangzhou Prefecture. She had been married to Zhou Caiju for two years and had always had a good relationship.
This day, Zhou Ju had to go to another place to work, and it took three to five months to come back. He told his wife to take good care of herself, and then set off.
In the evening, a man came from a distance, and his clothes were soaked in sweat. The man was Zhou Caiju's younger brother, named Zhou Wu. When he saw his sister-in-law, he said that his brother accidentally fell into the water and died while crossing the river. He said that he wanted to take Liu Shuniang to see Zhou Caiju's body.
Liu Shuniang was so scared that her face turned pale. She followed Zhou Wu to the riverside. She looked around nearby and did not find Zhou Caiju's body. But she saw a few strange men not far away, with their heads connected and their ears, and didn't know what to discuss.
This group of men are servants from Ye Yuanwai, the neighboring town. They came to buy women for the head of the family to enjoy. When they saw Zhou Wu bringing the woman over, they all came up and looked at Liu Shuniang carefully. They thought her appearance was pretty good, so they decided to buy it.
Liu Shuniang then realized that Zhou Wu was going to sell herself. She was so scared that she wanted to run away.
These servants stopped her, loaded her up with a big sack, carried her onto the boat, supported the boat, and came to a place called Taohua Town.
After arriving at a mansion, the people sent Liu Shuniang into a side room. Liu Shuniang came out of the sack and saw a middle-aged man with a vulgar appearance standing opposite her.
The man was Ye Yuanwai. Seeing Liu Shuniang looking very beautiful, he felt that he was really blessed and was ready to do something wrong.
Liu Shuniang looked around the house and found that the window was open, so she jumped out, trying to escape from the mansion.
At this time, several servants heard the movement and came to check it out. They found that Liu Shuniang was running away, so they quickly chased her and quickly caught her.
Liu Shuniang saw Ye Yuanwai coming over, and was extremely angry and spat at him.
Ye Yuanwai was not angry, but just ordered his followers to drag her into the house and prepare for some fun.
At this moment, an old lady passed by here and found that her son had bought another concubine. She was too lazy to pay attention to it, but she found that the woman looked familiar, so she took a few more glances and found that the woman was her savior.
This old lady is Ye Yuanwai's mother, whose surname is Zhou. Once when she visited relatives in Xiukou Town, she suddenly became ill. Fortunately, Liu Shuniang helped her, so she escaped.
The son actually wanted to harm his savior, so he couldn't ignore this, so Zhou scolded his son sternly and asked him to let Liu Shuniang leave.
Although Ye Yuanwai was a lustful person, he was a filial son. When he learned that Liu Shuniang had saved his mother's life, he quickly apologized and asked the housekeeper to get her five hundred taels of silver.
Liu Shuniang took the money and left Ye's mansion safely. She thought that if she returned to Xiukou Town, if Wu Wu had any bad thoughts, it would be hard to guard against, so she decided to go to another place to find her husband.
Liu Shuniang knew the address of her husband's work, so she took a carriage and arrived at a mansion that the rich man was building.
Zhou Caiju was doing carpenter work at that time. After seeing Liu Shuniang, he was very puzzled. Why did his wife come from afar? Just ask why.
When Liu Shuniang saw her husband, she burst into tears and told her own experience.
Zhoucaiju found out, and was extremely angry. His younger brother treated his sister-in-law like this. But seeing that his wife was in danger and had received so much money, his hatred for Zhou Wu was mostly relieved. He did not intend to sue him, but he drew a clear line with him from now on and did not interact with each other.
With this money, Zhou Caiju quit his job and opened a restaurant. From then on, he has been with his wife and lives a sweet and prosperous life.
Later, Liu Shuniang was very happy when she heard that Ye Yuanwai was overly indulged in lust and died of yang. She felt that a scum like this was really worthy of death!
As for Zhou Wu, the fate was also very miserable. Once he went to the gambling house to cheat, but the shopkeeper found out that the shopkeeper ordered someone to beat him hard and finally was beaten to death.
Postscript:
As the saying goes, good and evil are rewarded. Liu Shuniang is kind-hearted and saved the old lady's life. In the end, she not only escaped the disaster, but also gained wealth. The two villains Ye Yuanwai and Zhou Wu did whatever they wanted and ended up in a miserable end. I hope you and I are all good people, but do good deeds and don’t care about the future.
