During the Song Dynasty, there was a village called Luwei Village to the east of Luzhou. The winter of this year was particularly cold, with biting winds and snow falling in the sky. In a dilapidated house, an old man was lying on the bed dying. He closed his eyes tightly and his body curled up.
Suddenly, with a "creak", the door was pushed open. The old man slowly opened his eyes and saw a woman walking in from outside the house. After seeing the person's face clearly, the old man said excitedly and in a faint voice: "Why... it's you? You... you will come and see me!"
After saying that, a tear flowed out from the corner of the old man's eyes. Thinking of what he had done before, the old man closed his eyes in shame.
What did the old man do to make him so regretful? What happened to the old man? Who is this woman?
Let’s take a look at what happened together.
This matter has to start many years ago. At that time, the old man was still a young man, and his name was Chen Jinda.
Chen Jinda was born in a poor family. He is the eldest in the family and has two younger brothers, Chen Jiner and Chen Jinsan. His mother was dying of childbirth when she gave birth to her fourth child and both died.
Chen Jin's third brother was raised by his father. His father relied on the landlord's house to work as a long-term worker and exchanged a small amount of food for the three brothers to eat, but that little food could not fill his stomach.
So Chen Jinda started stealing other people's food to satisfy his hunger. He started to take some sweet potatoes, vegetables, and beans. Anyway, as long as he could eat, he would take whatever he saw. When his father saw that the children had something to eat and could fill their stomachs, he let Chen Jinda steal other people's things.
In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and the three of Chen Jin's brothers have grown up. Because Chen Jinda has been doing stealing things and has a very poor reputation in the village, the villagers either throw a chicken today or a duck tomorrow. Everyone knew that it was Chen Jinda stolen, but he was unable to catch him.
Because of the habit of stealing, Zhenjinda has developed a idle and lazy personality, and is not popular anywhere.
His two younger brothers got married one after another, and after the younger brothers got married, they moved out one after another. Not long after, his father also died. At first, Chen Jinda didn't think anything was wrong. This was the best. He fed his whole family and was not hungry. His life was free and comfortable.
In this way, more than ten years passed again. At this time, Chen Jin was in his thirties. His nephews are all in their teenage years. Seeing that their younger brothers have children, life is hard, but the whole family is always warm.
Chen Jinda was very envious. He also had the idea of marrying a wife. However, he was poor and had a bad reputation. Where could a girl be willing to marry him?
In order to get married, he made up his mind to change and no longer do things stealing, and decided to find a serious job.
Because Chen Jinda was young and strong, he soon got a job as a lumberjack at Gao Yuanwai's house in the town. Gao Yuanwai's family is a home that starts in the wood business and needs a lot of wood. He goes to congratulate him every day. As long as he is willing to do, he will have endless work and his wages are also given to Gao.
Chen Jinda worked at Gao Yuan’s home for three years and also saved some money to get married. So he asked the matchmaker to find out if there was a suitable woman willing to marry him. Because he was not in good condition, he had no requirements for the woman, as long as the other party could give birth to her.
On that day, when Chen Jinda got home after finishing his work, he saw matchmaker Aunt Zhang waiting for him at his doorstep. When Aunt Zhang saw Chen Jinda come back, she hurriedly greeted her.
"Ah, happy event, what you asked for is settled," Aunt Zhang said excitedly. As soon as he heard that what he asked for was settled, Chen Jinda suddenly became energetic and threw all the fatigue of the whole day out.
"Aunt Zhang, is it true? Which girl is from? Tell me quickly." Chen Jinda was very excited and asked while opening the door.
"Aunt Zhang, sit in the fast house" Chen Jinda said as he handed Aunt Zhang the hand over to her.
"Look, you're so anxious." Aunt Zhang joked, "I'll tell you! It's the Wu girl from the next village. That's a good girl. Listen to me..."
It turns out that my mother is called Wu Xiuying. Her parents died since she was a child, and she and her brother depend on each other for life. She was both a father and a mother, and she raised her younger brother. Until now, her younger brother married a wife and started a family, she had to consider her lifelong affairs. Therefore, I missed my best years and now I have become an old girl in her thirties.
Although Wu Xiuying is very virtuous and kind, she is still old and it is difficult to find a suitable one.
"When I saw that you two are very compatible, I told Miss Wu about you." Aunt Zhang said, "Miss Wu said that as long as you are down-to-earth and willing to work, she has no requirements."
"Okay, Aunt Zhang, I will definitely work hard. Go and ask Miss Wu when we will set our days down." Chen Jin said excitedly that after being single for more than 30 years, a girl is willing to marry him, so of course she must seize the opportunity.
"It seems you're anxious, okay, I understand." Aunt Zhang left with a smile.
soon, Chen Jinda married Wu Xiuying into the house. Wu Xiuying is really a good family expert. Since Wu Xiuying married Chen Jinda, she has helped Chen Jinda clean up her house, wash clothes and cook, and make up for it whenever she encounters, so that Chen Jinda has no worries and can work with peace of mind. Every day when he goes home, he can eat hot meals and have someone to accompany him at night. Chen Jinda is no longer alone and lives a happy life.
soon, Wu Xiuying became pregnant, which made Chen Jinda very happy. In order to make the child have a good life for birth, Chen Jinda worked harder and saved more money. Gao Yuanwai saw that he worked hard and was smart. He had worked in the Gao family for several years, so he was familiar with the wood business. Chen Jinda was so happy that he promoted him to be a manager. Not only did he earn a lot of money in his business, but he also had more than a dozen workers under him to send him. He was so proud.
"Wife, what did I buy for you?" Chen Jin went home happily that day and saw Wu Xiuying busy in the kitchen.
"Stop busy, wife, come here, I'll show you something," Chen Jinda said.
"What, what did you buy?" Wu Xiuying asked curiously.
"You'll know if you come here and take a look," Zhen Jin said with a big smile.
Wu Xiuying came over and Chen Jinda handed her a piece of exquisite fabric.
"Why are you willing to buy this? It's very expensive!" Wu Xiuying said.
"My wife, not expensive. My good luck has come since I married you. Now I have been in charge of the business and my salary is twice as much as before. Now you are pregnant and you can't wear any clothes before. Go and make two sets of clothes. Don't wear them too tightly, and it will force my son." Chen Jin said to Wu Xiuying with a big smile.
"How do you know it's a son? What if it's a daughter?" Wu Xiuying said.
"If it is a daughter, it will be a boy." Chen Jinda suddenly became serious, his eyes fell on Wu Xiuying's belly, and murmured, "It must be a son."
Wu Xiuying didn't care either, but just thought he was joking, and replied, "Of course it's good to be a son!" Then he walked into the kitchen to continue cooking.
"I beat you to death, you are eating a meal." A man punched and kicked a thin woman.
"Don't hit my mother...please stop hitting...Dad...Don't hit my mother." A little girl hugged the man's legs hard, trying to stop the man from beating the woman again.
"Damn girl, looking for death. Since you want to protect this stinky woman, I will give you my help." After the man said that, he slapped his palm and slapped the little girl in the face.
"Child... don't beat the child, just hit me if you want to hit." The woman cried and begged the man, "It's me that I'm sorry for you, it's me that I can't give birth to a son for you. If you want to vent your anger, just hit me." It turns out that the person who hit the man was Chen Jinda.
It turned out that Wu Xiuying was pregnant and gave birth to her daughter Huaer. Because she was injured when she gave birth, and because she was older, she never got pregnant again.
Now ten years have passed, their daughter Chen Huaer is ten years old, and Wu Xiuying is also in her forties, and she will never be able to have a child again.
Chen Jinda has been like a different person since Wu Xiuying could not have another child. He often punched and kicked Wu Xiuying, saying that Wu Xiuying had cut off their family's incense and often beat his daughter.
Therefore, Wu Xiuying and his daughter are often green and purple. But Wu Xiuying could only endure Chen Jinda's domestic violence because she could not give birth to a son for Chen Jinda.
"Is Manager Chen at home? Gao Yuanwai is looking for you." The voice of Gao Yuanwai's servant Gao Xiaoshun came from outside the door.
"It's here, here." Chen Jindashi heard that it was Gao Yuan outside looking for him, and hurriedly responded. "Wait, I'll deal with you later when I come back." Chen Jinda did not forget to curse a few words before leaving the door.
"How are you doing, child? Does it hurt?" After Chen Jinda left, Wu Xiuying hurriedly checked Chen Huaer's injuries.
"Mom, I don't hurt" Chen Huaer said biting her lips, but tears came out of her eyes.
"It's my mother, I can't protect you." After that, Wu Xiuying pulled Chen Huaer into her arms, and the mother and daughter cried together.
Episode 0 Chen Jinda came to Gao Yuanwai's mansion, and Gao Yuanwai was waiting for him in the study.
"Uncle, are you looking for me?" Chen Jinda walked into the study under Gao Xiaoshun's leadership.
"Jinda! You are here, sit down." Gao Yuanwai was very polite.
"I don't dare to do anything, just tell me if you have anything to do," Chen Jinda knew how much he was, and did not dare to be arrogant. He respectfully went outside Mr. Gao.
"Jinda! You have been in charge of me for more than ten years! You have been working very hard, and I see it. I heard that you have always had a heart disease, so don't miss your job! If you do your job well, is the position of the manager still empty?" Gao said earnestly in Foreign Language.
"Uncle, don't worry, you value me so much, I won't let you down," Chen Jinda said confidently.
After leaving Gao Yuanwai's house, Chen Jinda became more and more angry the more he thought about it. If Wu Xiuying hadn't been unable to give birth to a son for him, he would not have been in a bad mood and would not have been doing his best to work. If Wu Xiuying gave birth to a child for him and had successors, she would work harder, and maybe the position of the general manager would be his long ago.
"Manager Chen, what's wrong with Mr. Gao looking for you?" Chen Jinda looked back and found that it was Li Sanmu, a worker under his command.
"It's nothing, why are you here?" Chen Jinda asked angrily.
"I just finished sending Mu Cai and was about to go home," Li Sanmu replied. "Manager Chen actually knows what you said to Gao Yuanwai just now. Gao Xiaoshun is my cousin, and he told me everything. I know what you think. Maybe I can help you solve your worries."
"Can you help me? Can you help me give birth to a son?" Chen Jinda said angrily.
"Of course I can't help Manager Chen give birth, but I can help Manager Chen introduce the woman who gave birth to a child," Li Sanmu said with a smile.
"I am old, so where is there a young girl willing to marry me! It's hard to have a son." Chen Jinda had no confidence, after all, he was over forty and fifty years old. I can only live my own life, so where can I get extra money to marry a concubine?
"Manager Chen, I'll tell you that an uncle from my distant family has a daughter. He is eighteen years old and looks handsome. It's a pity that he is just a mute. If Manager Chen doesn't dislike him, I'm willing to be a mediator for Manager Chen, and this matter will definitely be successful," said Li Sanmu.
Chen Jin heard this and felt spirited: "It doesn't matter whether you are a mute or not, as long as you can give birth."
"Okay, as long as Manager Chen agrees, this matter will be successful. However, I heard my uncle say before that although his daughter is mute, she is not a child for others," said Li Sanmu.
"This matter is easy to deal with, I will leave that stinky woman when I get home," Chen Jin said fiercely.
When he got home, Chen Jinda gave Wu Xiuying a divorce by just one piece of divorce book , and he didn't want his daughter Chen Huaer either. Regardless of Wu Xiuying's plea, he drove the mother and daughter out of the house.
Not long after, Chen Jinda happily married the mute girl into the house. Not to mention, this mute girl really knows how to give birth. She gave birth to three sons in five years after marrying Chen Jinda. This made Chen Jinda very happy. She was old and had a son. Chen Jinda held it in her mouth and was afraid of melting it, holding it in her hands and was afraid of falling, so she carefully protected her everywhere.
will tell everyone how smart and obedient your son is. If you are old, someone will be able to take care of him or her. The villagers also said, "Yes! Yes, Chen Jin is very lucky." At this time, a white-haired old man walked out of the crowd and said to himself, "This is retribution! Retribution is coming..." The villagers looked at each other, not knowing what the old man meant.
chapters were said in both ends. After Wu Xiuying and his daughter were kicked out of the house by Chen Jinda, they had nowhere to go and could only beg along the way. One day, the mother and daughter came to Luzhou City and had just begged for two steamed buns. The mother and daughter were really hungry, so they found a place to sit down and were about to eat steamed buns to satisfy their hunger. Suddenly, Chen Huaer found that there was a white-haired old man not far ahead looking at the steamed buns in her hand and swallowing water.
"Grandpa, are you hungry?" Chen Huaer walked over and "give it to", and the kind Chen Huaer handed the steamed bun in her hand to the old man.
The old man was not polite either. He took the steamed bun and swallowed the tiger owl. Maybe he was really hungry.
"Good people will be rewarded, good people will be rewarded." The old man said to Chen Huaer after eating the steamed buns.
"Grandpa, are you full? You wait for me here, and I will find you some food." After Chen Huaer said that, she turned around and walked towards her mother, "Mom, that old man seems to be very hungry. I will look for some food. You can wait for me here"
"Grandpa, please give me this steamed bun to the old man," said Wu Xiuying.
"Mom, no, you are very hungry, you eat first, I'll beg for some," said Chen Huaer.
"It's okay, flower, I can still hold on. You can give it to the old man first, and we will go find food together," Wu Xiuying insisted.
"Okay, mom", but when they turned around and looked, the old man was gone and I don't know when he left.
"You're leaving so fast, mom, let's go too." Chen Huaer helped Wu Xiuying up and left.
As we walked, the mother and daughter were so hungry that they didn't beg for anything to eat along the way, and suddenly fainted.
When the mother and daughter woke up, they found that they were in a big house, and the room was decorated elegantly and warmly.
"Xiuying, you are awake" a middle-aged man came over. Isn’t this Gao Yuanwai!
"Why is it you?" Wu Xiuying said in surprise.
"Xiuying, you mother and daughter are here to take a good rest first. This is my house," said Gao Yuanwai.
"Thank you" Wu Xiuying said gratefully.
"You're welcome, if you hadn't saved me back then, I wouldn't have lived to this day!" Gao Yuanwai was very moved.
It turned out that more than ten years ago, Gao Yuanwai went up the mountain to buy wood. The weather was too hot that day, so Gao Yuanwai asked his followers to fetch water to drink. But the entourage went there for a long time but never came back. Gao Yuanwai went to find the entourage, but because of his rush, he fell off the cliff with one foot.
happens that Wu Xiuying, who was doing farm work in the field, found that Gao Yuanwai was seriously injured, so she took him to the town to seek medical treatment, and Gao Yuanwai saved his life.
Later, after Mr. Gao recovered from his trauma, he went to find his benefactor Wu Xiuying, wanting to thank her. But I only realized that she had married Chen Jinda and that Wu Xiuying had married, in order to avoid the inconvenience of gossip. He promoted Wu Xiuying's husband Chen Jin to be a manager in return.
Unexpectedly, Wu Xiuying was so bad that Chen Jinda beaten up in recent years because she could not help Chen Jinda give birth to a son. Gao Yuanwai knew that Chen Jin was selfish and ignorant, and he was determined to have a son. In order to prevent Wu Xiuying from being bad at domestic violence and to leave Chen Jinda smoothly. He then introduced the mute girl to Chen Jinda as his wife. The mute girl can give birth to a young woman, which also fulfilled Chen Jinda's wish to have a son.
After Wu Xiuying and his daughter left Chen Jinda, Gao Yuanwai kept sending people to follow them and protect them secretly.
Wu Xiuying was very grateful to Mr. Gao after he learned the truth.
"Xiuying, you mother and daughter live here with peace of mind, and this will be your home from now on." Gao Yuanwai said sincerely.
"How can this be done?" Wu Xiuying said in panic.
"Xiuying, listen to me, my wife has passed away for many years and has not married. Do you know why?" Gao Yuanwai said: "Man-wai of many years ago, a white-haired old man told me that he wanted me to wait for ten years to marry again. Now he finally waits for you. Don't worry, I will definitely raise the flower as my own daughter."
"The old man with white hair?" Wu Xiuying asked
"Mom, it must be the old man with white hair." Chen Huaer said
"You also know the old man with white hair"? Gao asked.
Wu Xiuying and his daughter told Gao Yuanwai about the story of meeting the white-haired old man.
"Haha, it seems to be fate, Xiuying, the white-haired old man must be an old god. The old gods will help us, so don't worry." Gao Yuanwai said excitedly: "Let me take care of you mother and daughter in the future."
Wu Xiuying blushed and smiled shyly.
Before we talked about Chen Jinda having three sons within five years since he married a mute wife, which made Chen Jinda very happy. But as the problem arises, since the mute girl can't take care of the children, Chen Jinda has to take care of the children while working, and is busy with anxiety. He is also a little overwhelmed because he is older.
often dozed off when working and made mistakes many times, so Gao Yuanwai refused him. Chen Jinda, who has no job, has no source of income. As the children grow older, the family's expenses are getting bigger and bigger. Chen Jin was panicked. In order to support his family, he started to steal again and started to steal.
Because he is older, his hands and feet are not as flexible as he was when he was young, he was arrested when he steals a wealthy family. Under the strict examination of the government, Chen Jin confessed his theft when he was young, and the government sentenced him to ten years in prison for multiple thefts.
Chen Jin was released from prison after his sentence, his mute wife and children were gone, and he became an old man. He inquired about the whereabouts of the three children and finally found the child. At this time, his children all grew into young men.
However, they all despised him as a thief, had a bad reputation, refused to recognize him, and drove him away one after another.
Chen Jinda helplessly returned to his dilapidated house, waiting for his lonely death.
The winter of this year was particularly cold. Chen Jinda, who was seriously ill, was lying on the bed. He knew that his deadline was approaching.
suddenly the door was opened... and the opening scene appeared. The woman who walked into the house was nothing but Chen Huaer.
She looked at Chen Jinda lying on the bed and was mixed with feelings.
Thinking of him as he used to treat them and their daughter like that, she hated him. But she couldn't rest assured that he was sick and no one cared about him. After all, he gave her life.
"Yes...sorry...flowers...flowers" Chen Jinda said a few words in a difficult situation.
"Don't talk, I'll take you to see the doctor." Chen Huaer wanted to help Jin Da up.
"No...no need...hua'er, I know...I can't do it anymore, thank you...come...me" Chen Jinda's voice was very weak, and finally he couldn't hear it, and his eyes closed...
Looking at Chen Jinda on the bed, Chen Hua'er slowly spit out a few words "I'll give you my final say."
Chen Jin favors boys over girls and only wants to have a son. He doesn't care about his daughter. He believes that only his son can support him in his old age and see him off. He often beat his daughter.
In order to have a son marry a mute daughter, he forced his wife and daughter to leave. Later, when his son loved him very much, he was willing to be arrested and imprisoned for his son, but in the end, the sons felt embarrassed and refused to pay attention to him.
Ironically it was the daughter who sent him to the end.
In fact, the prototype of the story is a real example in life.
