Highest Ming Dynasty, there was a wealthy family named Qian in Jinchuan County. The Qian family has been doing business for generations and has accumulated a wealth of thousands of dollars and is the richest man in the local area.
Qian Yuanwai is in his thirties, with his mother Wang in his sixties, his virtuous wife Li, and his smart and well-behaved son Qian Jiabao. The family is rich and well-off, and his life is warm and happy.
Li is a lady from a noble family, well-educated, gentle, filial to her mother-in-law, considerate to her husband, and loves her son. She is also a great charity. She eats vegetarian food and chants Buddha's name to help the poor, and has a very good reputation in the local area.
A virtuous wife in the family has little trouble. Qian Manwai has such a virtuous wife. He has no worries and devotes himself to the business, making the family's business prosperous and making money every day.
In the winter of one year, it was cold and the ground was frozen. Li unfortunately got infected with typhoid fever. Although he invited the most famous doctor in the local area to treat it and took a lot of precious medicinal herbs, he failed to save her life and passed away from her family.
Qian Man Wai hugged his eight-year-old son and cried loudly. His wife's sudden death made Qian Man Wai feel pain and was completely disappointed. But he is the backbone of this family. He can only control the grief in his heart, force himself to smile in front of his family, and cry silently when the night is quiet.
Qian Yuanwai and his wife are childhood sweethearts. They are young and have no guesses. Their relationship is very deep. After Li's death, he planned to stay with his wife for the rest of his life and never marry her for the rest of his life. But Old Mrs. Qian felt sorry for her son and urged him to re-rest many times. Qian Yuanwai could not directly refuse her mother, so she could only find various reasons to shirk her.
A year passed in the blink of an eye. When Mrs. Qian saw that her son was not concerned about the marriage, she was very anxious and began to look for a wife for her son.
Old Lady Qian is also from a wealthy family. She also has very high requirements for her daughter-in-law. Although she is a married woman, she also wants to marry a good family.
There is a wealthy family named Guo in Jinchuan County. Guo Yuanwai has a daughter named Guo Fengyi, who is 28 years old and looks as beautiful as a flower. Old Mrs. Qian thought it was very suitable for her son, so she went to the Guo family to propose marriage with a generous gift.
Although the Guo family is a big family, it is a small witch compared to the Qian family and is not worth mentioning at all. If they climb the Qian family, it will be beneficial to the Guo family without any harm. Of course, Guo Yuanwai is unlucky, so he agreed to this marriage.
Old Mrs. Qian was afraid that her son would refuse again, so this time she came to take action first and then report. She told Qian Yuanwai after the marriage was completed. Qian Yuanwai was unhappy when she heard it, but when he thought of his mother's painstaking efforts, he couldn't bear to make her angry, so he bit the bullet and agreed.
At the urging of Mrs. Qian, Mr. Qian married Guo Fengyi. Although Mr. Qian was reluctant, a young yellow-flowered daughter married him to fill in the house. He could not treat others badly. At least he had to be worthy of his conscience, so he loved her very much.
Guo Fengyi is not only beautiful, but also gentle. She is also considerate to Qian Yuanwai and loves Qian Jiabao very much. She regards him as her own. Over time, Qian Yuanwai really fell in love with this little wife.
In the second year of getting married, Guo Fengyi was happy. When Mrs. Qian learned about it, she was very happy and ordered her servants at home to serve her well and not make any mistakes.
Qian Yuanwai was also very excited and loved his wife even more. He said, "Now we have a son. If you have another daughter, you will have both children!"
Guo Fengyi said, "What if it is a son?"
Qian Yuanwai said, "Of course my son is better. You can be a companion with Jiabao. In the future, the two brothers will work together to carry forward our Qian family!" He held his wife in his arms and gently kissed her smooth forehead.
More than nine months later, Guo Fengyi successfully gave birth to a baby boy. Qian waited to hold the white and fat baby and kissed him on his chubby little face.
Guo Fengyi looked at her husband's love for his son so much, and a trace of unaware expression flashed across her face, saying, "Mr., please give our son a name!"
Qian Yuanwai said, "Just call Qian Jiacai! It means that the Qian family has a lot of wealth and prosperity for generations!"
Guo Fengyi's love for Qian Jiabao not only did not decrease, but also loved him even more. Qian Yuanwai found that his worries were unnecessary, and he was about his wife. He was very grateful and said, "You are such a good wife and a good mother. You will definitely respect you when you grow up."
Guo Fengyi said, "It is their business whether the child is filial or not. As long as I, the mother, have a clear conscience and deserve my conscience."
In order to express my gratitude to my wife, Qian Yuanwai adopted the two stores to his wife's name. Guo Fengyi was moved to tears when she saw her husband's sincerity to him.
In the spring of the year, Qian Man went out for half a year before he turned around. When he came back, he found that his eldest son Qian Jiabao had a pale face and thin skin, as if he was sick. Guo Fengyi cried and said, "For some reason, since you went out, he has eaten very little and was in a trance. At first, I thought I miss you, but later I found something wrong, so I asked a doctor to diagnose him, but after taking a lot of medicine, he still didn't improve..."
Qian Manwai was very worried about his son's health, but he did not blame his wife, but comforted her and said, "No one is not sick when people eat grains and grains. It's not your fault." In order to cure his son's illness, Qian Manwai invited the most famous doctor in the county to treat his son, but the doctor could not find out the cause of the disease, and of course the medicine was not effective.
When Mrs. Qian saw that her eldest grandson's illness was getting worse and worse, she was anxious, so she said to Mr. Qian: "Jiabao's disease is very strange. The doctors in the city have seen it, but the reason cannot be found. Why don't you ask a sorcerer to take a look? I heard that there is a sorcerer on Shura Mountain that specializes in treating difficult and complicated diseases. Otherwise, please ask him to try it?"
When I was in a hurry to seek medical treatment, Qian could only agree to give it a try, so he sent someone to invite the sorcerer named Qingfeng to his home. The Warlock Qingfeng was shocked when he saw it, and turned his head and was about to leave. Qian Manwai quickly stopped him and said, "As long as you can cure my son's illness, I will thank you very much!"
warlock's face was serious and said, "It's not that I don't want to save your son, but that your son is already terminally ill and has no way to make things go back on the world! You should ask for a clever one!"
Qian Manwai's legs became weak after hearing Qingfeng's words. , slumped on the chair, tears rolling in his eyes, and said, "God, what evil did I commit in my previous life? If you want to punish me, punish me. Please let my son go. He is just a child, and his life has just begun..."
Guo Fengyi looked at her husband's grief and couldn't help but shed tears, and said, "My husband, don't be so pessimistic, maybe a miracle will happen!"
Qian Yuanwai thought of his deceased wife, Thinking that his son would leave him soon, he couldn't help crying loudly. When Mrs. Qian saw her son crying, she started crying and said, "My poor little Jiabao, she lost her mother at a young age. Now she suffers from this disease again. If he had a few shortcomings, how could he live, the old woman..."
Although the Qian family has been seeking medical treatment for Qian Jiabao and has never given up, Xiao Jiabao still left. Mrs. Qian hugged her eldest grandson and fainted from crying several times.
Guo Fengyi also cried to death and said, "My poor son, why did you leave at a young age? Our Qian family still counts on you..."
After Qian Jiabao left, the old lady Qian could not bear the blow and fell ill. She left in less than a month. Her mother and son passed away one after another within a month. The blow to Qian Yuanwai was fatal. He couldn't lift anything he did and was in a trance all day long.
Guo Fengyi felt sorry for her husband and said, "You are tired too, so go out and relax. Leave the family affairs to me!"
Qian Yuanwai was very moved, but Guo Fengyi was a weak woman and had not managed the business. How could he feel at ease to hand over such a big deal to her? He said, "Thank you, my wife for your worries. I'm fine, don't worry!"
Guo Fengyi said, "My husband, there are too many business things. Seeing that you work so hard, I really feel sorry for you for your wife. Why don't you find a reliable person to help you share some of it so that you can take a breath!"
Qian Yuanwai also wanted to find someone to manage the business for him, but he has no brothers, and the other distant relatives are all unreliable. Qian Yuanwai has already experienced it.
said, "I also want to be more relaxed. Where can I find reliable people?"
Guo Fengyi said, "I have a distant cousin, an orphan. I grew up in my family. Like my biological brother, he is proficient in business. Why don't he come here to help first? Don't worry, my cousin is loyal and reliable. He will do his best to help!"
Qian Yuanwai agreed when he heard his wife say this, and Guo Fengyi took her distant cousin Zhou Wanshan to the Qian family to help manage the Qian family's business.
Zhou Wanshan is in his twenties. He is a handsome talent, and has superhuman management skills. He has a strong sense of responsibility. Qian goes out for a while and has managed his family's business in an orderly manner and his accounts are clearly calculated.
Qian Yuanwai saw that he was indeed a talent and his wife's cousin, so he valued him very much and regarded him as his right-hand man. Many major decisions would be solicited for his opinions. Zhou Wanshan did not disappoint Qian Yuanwai and always made constructive suggestions.
After Zhou Wanshan came to Qian’s family, Qian Yuanwai became much more relaxed and his business became more prosperous. Qian Yuanwai felt that he could not treat Zhou Wanshan badly and gave him some bonuses by the end of the year.
Zhou Wanshan couldn't refuse and could only accept it, saying that he would do it well and not let Qian Yuanwai down. Qian Yuanwai said, "I believe in your ability, do it well! I will not treat you badly!"
That day, Qian Yuanwai returned home from outside and saw his wife Guo Fengyi sitting in the main hall with anger. The maid Xiao Cui knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, saying, "Madam, I really didn't take your bracelet..."
Guo Fengyi said, "The bracelet was found in your pocket. Do you still want to deny it?" She looked at Qian Yuanwai again and said, "My husband, your hands and feet are not clean like this." What girl, why are you still keeping her? "
Xiao Cui was originally a maid brought by Li from her mother's house, but now she is Guo Fengyi's personal girl, serving her daily life. Qian Manwai knows Xiao Cui's character, and doesn't believe that Xiao Cui stole the things, so he said, "Is it a misunderstanding?"
Guo Fengyi said, "The thing was found out from her, and it must be her! "
" Xiao Cui, tell the truth, did you take the wife's bracelet?"
" Master, I really didn't take it, and I don't know why the wife's bracelet was in my pocket..." Xiao Cui said crying.
Guo Fengyi said, "You didn't take it. Did you run into your pocket by yourself?"
Qian Yuanwai said to his wife, "That's all for this matter. Judging from her future performance, it's not too late to sell her if she makes a mistake again!"
Qian Yuanwai said this. Although Guo Fengyi was so angry that she was itchy, she couldn't say anything else, so she said, "Xiao Cui, I'll spare you this time for the sake of the master. If I do it again, I'm not polite!"
At night, Xiao Cui thought of a scene a few days ago, and she was lying on the bed toss and turned and couldn't fall asleep. She knew that Guo Fengyi would not let her go, so she packed up her things and quietly left Qian's house.
The next morning, Guo Fengyi did not see Xiao Cui, so she asked someone to look for her room. The room was empty and her clothes were gone. Guo Fengyi said, "Since she didn't take the jade bracelet, why did she escape? This is just a guilty person!" Qian Yuanwai also felt strange when he heard that Xiao Cui ran away overnight. Did Xiao Cui really steal the bracelet?
On the day Qian Family Finance passed by one year old, all the nobles from all over the city came to celebrate. Qian Yuanwai looked at his cute little son and thought of his deceased eldest son, he couldn't help but feel sad. He drank too much after drinking to drown his sorrows.
After the banquet dispersed, Qian Yuanwai came to the cemetery by chance, and threw himself on his son's grave and cried bitterly. He had a split headache and knew nothing while crying.
When he woke up, the moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the grave as bright as daylight. Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard. Qian Yuanwai quickly looked around, and there were grave mounds of big and small. He didn't know where the sound came from, and he couldn't help but shivered.
It was already late at night. Qian Yuanwai suddenly thought that today was his first birthday and he actually ran here. His wife must be very worried at home, so she quickly got up from the ground and prepared to go home.
At this moment, the familiar voice sounded again, "Son, I am your mother!" Qian Manwai's hair stood up when he heard that he was standing up. He searched everywhere, but he could not see his mother's shadow.
"I'm here!" A big green snake jumped up, Qian Yuanwai was so scared that he took a few steps back, and the big snake said, "I am your mother, and your wife is here too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a white snake popped out of the grass, and the white snake said, "Mr., we finally meet again!"
Qian Yuanwai found that the voice was made from the mouths of the two snakes. His mother and wife had passed away, how could it turn into a snake? He asked in confusion: "Are you really mother and wife? Why did you two become snakes?"
It turned out that after Li's death, he was reluctant to go to the underworld to report. Later, Mr. Qian married his new wife Guo Fengyi. Li was very worried at first, afraid that Guo Fengyi would abuse Qian Jiabao, but later she found that Guo Fengyi loved Qian Jiabao very much, so she felt relieved.
Li stayed outside for a while before he came to the underworld reluctantly. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the underworld, he saw his son being caught by a ghost messenger. She hurried to ask what was going on. The ghost messenger told her that Qian Jiabao died of poisoning, and Li hugged his son and cried bitterly.
In order to investigate the reason for her son's poisoning, she begged the judge to release her. The judge felt compassion and promised Li to leave the underworld to investigate the truth about her son's death.
After Li came out of the underworld, he actually saw his mother-in-law crying in front of his son's grave. It turned out that his mother-in-law had also passed away, so she told her mother-in-law about the cause of Qian Jiabao's death. Old Mrs. Qian felt unbelievable when she heard this, and she decided not to go to the underworld. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law attached themselves to the two tomb-guarding snakes, protecting Qian Jiabao's body with ghost energy, while going to the Qian family to investigate the truth.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discovered that Guo Fengyi actually had an affair with Zhou Wanshan. The child Guo Fengyi gave birth to was also from Zhou Wanshan. Her image of a virtuous wife and mother was pretending to be the purpose of getting the trust of Qian Yuanwai.
In order to monopolize the Qian family's property, they killed Qian Jiabao with chronic poison. Because the dosage was too small, the doctor could not diagnose it at all. Qingfeng Warlock saw the cause, but Guo Fengyi used beautiful colors to tempt him and sealed his mouth.
The maid Xiao Cui in the family did not steal Guo Fengyi's gold bracelet. Guo Fengyi deliberately put the gold bracelet into her pocket. The reason she did this was to sell her because Xiao Cui discovered the secret between Guo Fengyi and Zhou Wanshan.
That day, Qian Yuanwai was not at home. At night, Xiao Cui sent the washed and dried clothes to Guo Fengyi's room. When she walked to the door, she heard an indescribable sound. Xiao Cui was scared and was about to leave quickly. Because she was too panic, she encountered the flower pot on the flower shelf. The flower pot fell to the ground and broke, causing a lot of noise.
The two people in the room were also shocked when they heard the sound. Zhou Wanshan quickly put on his clothes and ran to the door to see it. He saw Xiao Cui running away in a hurry. They concluded that Xiao Cui must have heard something, so they were about to get Xiao Cui out of the Qian family to eliminate future troubles...
Qian Yuanwai was both happy and angry when he heard the story of his mother and wife. He was happy that he learned the truth of the matter and could avenge his son. He was angry that the two people he trusted the most were the murderers who killed his son.
Qian Yuanwai said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let them receive the punishment they deserve and avenge their treasure!"
Li said, "They are both very cunning, my husband must be careful! My mother and I are waiting for your good news here."
Qian Yuanwai said goodbye to his mother and wife. It was already the fifth day when he returned home. When Guo Fengyi saw him coming back drunk, she cried and said, "Mr., where did you go? We found you overnight but couldn't find anyone, but I was heartbroken..."
Qian Yuanwai didn't say anything, fell asleep on the bed, and didn't wake up until the next night. When Guo Fengyi saw him wake up, she hurried up to ask him about his well-being and asked him where he went last night. Qian Yuanwai rubbed his head and said, "I can't remember!"
Guo Fengyi and Zhou Wanshan's next target is Qian Yuanwai. As long as he dies, the two can be together openly. Everything in the Qian family belongs to theirs. The two secretly plotted while Qian Yuanwai was out, but Qian Yuanwai suddenly came back.
The two were nervous when they saw him, but pretended to be calm. Guo Fengyi said, "Didn't my husband go out to be a guest? I'll ask my cousin to come and report on the business!"
Zhou Wanshan quickly said, "Yes, since the boss is back, I'll report to the boss tomorrow!" After that, he left.
After Zhou Wanshan left, Qian Yuanwai said, "Let's go out with me!"
Guo Fengyi looked at Qian Yuanwai's serious expression, panicked, and said, "Honey, where are you taking me?"
"You will know then!" Qian Yuanwai pulled her away, but Guo Fengyi was holding the door frame and was unwilling to leave. Qian Yuanwai ordered two servants to pull her into the carriage.
The carriage became more and more remote, and finally stopped in front of a grave. Guo Fengyi was so scared that she shivered all over and said, "Mr. Husband, what are we doing here?"
Qian Yuanwai did not answer her, but ordered the servant to drag her to a grave and said angrily, "Kneel down!"
"Mr. Husband, what are you doing?" Guo Fengyi asked angrily.
"You vicious woman, you don't even let go of a child. You killed Jiabao, you must kneel down and confess to him!"
Guo Fengyi seemed to have suffered a great grievance when she heard this, and cried, "I married you at the age of sixteen and always regarded Jiabao as my own. I love him too, how could I hurt him? Jiabao left, I feel very uncomfortable... I have no external intentions towards you father and son, you actually said that I harmed him. You are so disappointed..."
Qian Yuanwai said, "Guo Fengyi, you are about to die, but you still don't admit it!" He took out his pocket He took out a piece of paper bag and opened it for Guo Fengyi to see, "This is the residue of Jianpi Tang you made for Jiabao. A chronic toxin was detected in it. Eating it in a small amount will not cause death, but it will cause weight loss and loss of appetite. The doctor cannot find the cause of the disease. After eating it for a long time, the toxins in the body accumulate more and more, and people will die..."
Guo Fengyi did not admit that he had killed Qian Jiabao. At this time, several people escorted a man to the cemetery. The man was the clerk of Changchuntang in the city. Guo Fengyi bought the medicine from him.
When faced with evidence and evidence, Guo Fengyi was still stubborn and said, "I didn't harm anyone. He is slandering me. I want to accuse him of slandering..."
Qian Yuanwai said, "Okay, I'll send you to the county government now!"
Guo Fengyi collapsed to the ground when she heard this and cried, "Honey, I'm obsessed with it. You can spare me this time because of the relationship between our husband and wife!"
"Do you still have the face to say that the relationship between husband and wife? When you killed Jiabao, did you think about whether the relationship between husband and wife has happened? ? "Mr. Qian threw a letter of divorce from on her face and said, "We have broken up our mercy and are now irreconcilable enemies!"
Qian Yuan. Qian and his servants sent Guo Fengyi and the pharmacy shop's staff to the county yard. At this time, Zhou Wanshan was also taken to the lobby by the runners. Qian Yuan. Qian handed Guo Fengyi's drug purchase certificate and toxic medicine residue to the magistrate. The Qian family's staff also found Xiao Cui who escaped. At this time, everyone, evidence and physical evidence were complete. Zhou Wanshan and Guo Fengyi saw that they could not hide it, so they explained the causes and consequences of their crime.
Zhou Wanshan is Guo Fengyi's distant relative. He grew up in the Guo family since he was a child. Guo Fengyi is telling the truth about this, but she will not tell Qian Yuanwai about the relationship between her and Zhou Wanshan.
Before Guo Fengyi married Qian Yuanwai, she and Zhou Wanshan had a private lifelong decision. When the Qian family went to propose marriage, she was unwilling to elope with Zhou Wanshan, but Zhou Wanshan said, "I want to take you with you, but I can't bear to suffer with me... In order to live happily together in the future, I will first let you marry into the Qian family..."
Guo Fengyi felt that what Zhou Wanshan said made sense, so she agreed to marry into the Qian family first and implement their sinful plans step by step. After Guo Fengyi was pregnant with Zhou Wanshan's child, she killed Qian Jiabao with vicious means. Then Guo Fengyi introduced Zhou Wanshan to Qian Yuanwai. Zhou Wanshan gained Qian Yuanwai's trust and gradually mastered the Qian family's business. The next step is to kill Qian Yuanwai. Once Qian Yuanwai died, everything in the Qian family belongs to their family of three.
The two of them had their own wishful thinking, but they did not expect that the paper would not be able to contain the fire. When Qian Yuanwai knew everything they did, he would have the current outcome!
Zhou Wanshan and Guo Fengyi were seriously guilty and were executed by Ling Chi. Their children were innocent. Qian Yuanwai sent the children to the Guo family. After doing all this, he went to Qian Jiabao's grave and said to Old Lady Qian and Li, "Now Jiabao's great revenge has been avenged. You can reincarnate quickly!"
Li said, "Jiabao's body is still intact under the protection of my mother and I. I want to go to the underworld to ask the judge and ask him to come back to accompany you!"
Li said, "Jiabao's body is still intact under the protection of my mother and I. I want to go to the underworld to ask the judge and ask him to come back to accompany you!"
Li came to the underworld and begged the judge to let Qian Jiabao return to the world. The judge looked through the merit book and said, "You ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name during your lifetime, accumulated virtue and good deeds, and accumulated heavy merits. You can exchange your merits for your son's life for sixty years! Are you willing?"
In the world, only parents' love for their children is the most selfless and greatest. Li quickly kowtowed and thanked her, saying that she would be willing even if she was destroyed. The judge sent a ghost messenger to send Qian Jiabao back to the world. Qian Man Wai dug up his son's grave, and Qian Jiabao came alive.
Qian Jiabao has been the eldest of Xiao Cui since he was a child. Xiao Cui is Li's personal maid. He has a deep relationship with Li's mother and son. Only by handing over his son to her can Qian Yuanwai feel at ease, so he took Xiao Cui back to the Qian family and married Xiao Cui as his wife.
Xiao Cui loves Qian Jiabao very much, is considerate to Qian Junwai, and the life of the family of three is warm and happy. A year later, Xiao Cui gave birth to another daughter, and her son and daughter were all perfect.
This story has nothing to do with superstition, and is mainly to promote folk culture and punish evil and promote good.
