When the Song Dynasty was , there was a place called Erdao Village where a man named Zhou Jinhuai lived.
He is an ignorant person who eats, drinks and has fun all day, and he has a good friend Tang Yucai.
Tang Yucai has a bad reputation. He often steals chickens and dogs in the village and is disliked by the villagers wherever he goes.
The villagers said, "What good things can they do together? I think they will cause a big disaster sooner or later."
At this time, a villager stood up and said, "Actually, Zhou Jinhuai was pretty good before. If it weren't for that incident, why would he be like now?"
The villagers sighed when they heard this, and Zhou Jinhuai was also a pitiful person.
Zhou Jinhuai's father, Old Man Zhou, is very poor. He had this son only at the age of 40 and loved him very much on weekdays.
Zhou Jinhuai did not disappoint his father either. He was not only sensible, but also very smart.
When he was seven years old, he was sent to enlightenment by Old Man Zhou, and he later became the most outstanding student in the school.
The Master said: "Zhou Jinhuai is a child who studies well and will definitely have a bright future in the future."
Just as Zhou Jinhuai was full of ambition, his fate changed.
If you want to take the exam, you must pay 20 taels of silver, which is really a bit embarrassing for the Zhou family.
Fortunately, Old Man Zhou made up all the money by selling his money, but unfortunately something happened.
Zhou Jinhuai's mother was sick, and all the money was spent on treatment, but his mother still passed away.
After finishing my mother's funeral, Zhou Jinhuai's exam days are approaching, but their family can no longer afford the money.
Although Zhou Jinhuai was in pain, he had to give up this opportunity.
The Master has come three times, and he still hopes that Zhou Jinhuai can take the exam.
Finally, Zhou Jinhuai said: "Teacher, everyone has their own destiny, so don't force some things." The Master had to shake his head and leave.
result, many people who were not as good as him were admitted, while Zhou Jinhuai could only farm at home.
A classmate has always been at odds with him, and he even came to him to show off.
"So what if you have good knowledge? People like you should be poor all their lives."
Faced with the provocation of classmates, Zhou Jinhuai no longer wanted to tolerate them, and he started fighting with classmates.
As a result, the other party has a lot of people and Zhou Jinhuai was beaten to the point of injury, which made him very sad.
"I worked so hard, but the result was disappointing. So what else should I do?"
Since that day, Zhou Jinhuai has been idle and does nothing.
Old Man Zhou advised his son: "You have to live down-to-earth to get better and better."
Zhou Jinhuai said: "Father, you are down-to-earth, but aren't you still poor?"
Old Man Zhou was speechless in the face of his son's questioning. He was sorry for the child, so he obeyed the child and tried his best to meet all requirements.
During the period, Zhou Jinhuai met Tang Yucai. The two of them spent money like flowing water, and they went to steal when they had no money.
Tang Yucai said: "Life is short, so you should have fun in time!"
Soon the two of them spent all their money. This time they planned to steal a wealthy family.
After the two discussed it, they began to search around the streets and finally found Mr. Li’s house.
Mr. Li is a new one. It is said that there are many valuable treasures at home, which makes them envious.
Tang Yucai said: "It will take us a long time to take one, you have to cheer up!"
Two people sneaked into Li Yuanwai's home under the cover of night. They were very happy when they saw the gold, silver and jewelry.
At this moment, Tang Yucai accidentally knocked a porcelain bottle to the ground, and the sound of the porcelain bottle alarmed the people in the mansion.
They quickly arrived from all directions and sent the two people to the government office. The porcelain bottle that
broke is priceless. If they don’t compensate, they will probably stay in prison for a long time.
Now both of them are decadent, and they know that they have no hope in their lives.
When Old Man Zhou heard that his son had caused such a big disaster, he also felt dizzy, but he quickly calmed down. Only when he was good enough could he save his son.
Someone persuaded him: "Don't waste your energy. Mr. Li's porcelain bottle is to add up all of us and we can't afford to pay."
But after all, it's his own son, so Old Man Zhou has to try it anyway.
The next day, Old Man Zhou took all the money from his family to Mr. Li's house. When he saw Mr. Li's house so grand, he also gave in.
The porcelain bottles of others are so valuable, can you really save your son?
Just as Old Man Zhou was hesitating, Mr. Li suddenly shouted: "Don't you know me anymore? I am the little Li Zi of the past!"
Old Man Zhou was also surprised, why did the little Li Zi of the past become Mr. Li?
And the fate of the two of them has to start 20 years ago.
At that time, Mr. Li was still a poor boy. He was bullied by a bully and had no choice but to rise up and resist.
This annoyed the bully, and the bully threatened everywhere that he must teach Mr. Li a lesson.
Old man Zhou is upright and he cannot bear to see the bully bully.
So he gave all the ten taels of silver he had saved with great effort to give to Mr. Li, and told him: "You should hide far away and never come back."
Mr. Li took Old Man Zhou's money to another place because he was very smart in business, so he soon made a lot of money.
When he wanted to find Old Man Zhou to repay his kindness, he could not find Old Man Zhou.
has been delayed for many years, but I didn’t expect to meet Old Man Zhou here now.
When he listened to Old Man Zhou’s story, he said to Old Man Zhou: “You are so confused. How can you spoil your child?”
“He is just breaking a porcelain bottle now. If he is not subject to supervision, he will definitely do more excessive things.”
“At that time, he made an irreversible mistake, what should you do?”
Old Man Zhou felt that Mr. Li was right, but he couldn’t bear to let his son stay in prison for the rest of his life.
Mr. Li waved his hand: "You leave this to me, I will definitely cheer him up."
Zhou Jinhuai was taken to the farm, where prisoners work.
They have to do a lot of work every day, and if they are slighted, they will be beaten up.
Zhou Jinhuai felt that although his days before were poor, it was better than suffering here.
Why did he reach this point today? Zhou Jinhuai was puzzled.
Next, Zhou Jinhuai was taken to prison again, and this time he was imprisoned with a strange prisoner.
This prisoner was sentenced to beheading and he was about to die in a few days. The two of them chatted, but Zhou Jinhuai was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat.
The prisoner was originally a good person, but later he accidentally made friends and they did a lot of bad things together.
Because they did too much bad things, they were all sentenced to beheading, and the prisoner's friend was dead.
Finally, the prisoner said with emotion: "You still have a chance to make up for it now. Don't be like me. It's too late to regret it."
The prisoner left and burst into tears. He said as he walked, "I'm still very young, I don't want to die!"
Zhou Jinhuai After this incident, he completely understood that one should not be greedy, and he should not do the wrong things.
He came out of prison and solemnly apologized to Old Man Zhou, who forgave his son.
Li Yuanwai also did not blame him. He paid money to help Zhou Jinhuai do business, and soon Zhou Jinhuai's business went through a good and exciting life.
In comparison, Tang Yucai was in a bad mood. After he came out, he continued to walk on the street, and his life became more and more difficult.
He also went to the Zhou family to find Zhou Jinhuai, but he was driven out by Old Man Zhou.
"Don't come to find my son again, otherwise I will hit you once when I see you!"
Li Yuanwai also said: "Your friend cannot be close to you. He will let you do something wrong. If something happens, he will be the first to betray you."
Li Yuanwai originally thought that Tang Yucai was Zhou Jinhuai's friend. Should he also help Tang Yucai?
But when he saw Tang Yucai's confession, he decided not to do so, and he lamented that Zhou Jinhuai was not aware of others.
Because Tang Yucai put all the blame on Zhou Jinhuai, he was an accomplice.
If Zhou Jinhuai did not meet him, he would definitely be doomed.
First love is seen in times of adversity, and friends also see people. This is the most profound lesson that Mr. Li taught Zhou Jinhuai.
Although Zhou Jinhuai knew this truth, he felt that they shared hardships and it was not very good not to deal with Tang Yucai.
Seeing his son being obsessed with it, Old Man Zhou said, "If you really can't let go of this friend, you might as well give it a try."
If he passes the test, if they interact in the future, Old Man Zhou will never say a word, and Zhou Huaijin agreed.
Zhou Jinhuai asked Tang Yucai to come out for dinner. After the two of them had drunk three rounds, Zhou Jinhuai began to express his truth.
"The money I earned is kept in the box at home, there should be no thieves there!"
Tang Yucai said, "Of course, who would have thought you would put the money there."
Two days later, Tang Yucai borrowed money from Zhou Jinhuai, and he asked for twenty taels of silver.
Zhou Jinhuai used the excuse of using money to do business, so he did not agree. This time the two parted in disagreement.
Tang Yucai said: "Now that you are well-developed, you will not look down on me, my old friend. Let's go our separate ways in the future!"
For a period of time after that, neither of them had contacted each other, and Zhou Jinhuai also went out to do business.
When he came back, he found that the twenty taels of silver placed in the box had disappeared. The first person he suspected was Tang Yucai.
But he still needs evidence now.
Tang Yucai's clothes fell at his house, but he didn't return them, and now they came in handy.
Zhou Jinhuai put a bunch of clothes together. He asked the dog, "You know who stole the silver!"
family dog nodded, and Zhou Jinhuai continued, "You go and find the person who stole the silver."
family dog smelled on a bunch of clothes, and finally he picked the clothes of Tang Yucai.
Zhou Jinhuai was very angry. He always regarded Tang Yucai as his best friend, but he didn't expect that he would treat him like this.
Zhou Jinhuai wanted to report to the official position, but Old Man Zhou stopped him.
He said to his son, "This money is just a lesson. Don't interact with such people again in the future." Zhou Jinhuai nodded and agreed.
A few years have passed, Zhou Jinhuai has married and had children, and his business is becoming more and more prosperous.
The only regret is that Old Man Zhou died in a few days because of overwork when he was young.
Zhou Jinhuai was very sad. He held a grand funeral for his father, and even the grave was best repaired, which was considered filial piety.
That day he went out to do business, and suddenly a beggar grabbed him. Zhou Jinhuai took out a few copper plates and handed them to the beggar.
Unexpectedly, the beggar still refused to let go. He said, "Huaijin, I am Tang Yucai!"
The beggar was actually Tang Yucai, which surprised Zhou Jinhuai. How did he become like this now?
Tang Yucai thought he had found a savior, so he quickly said, "Help me, we are our best friends."
Zhou Jinhuai planned to leave, and at this time, many people were already surrounded.
The people watching the fun said, "Look, you are not short of money. Your friends are already so down and out. How can you sit back and see?"
Many people also agreed, accusing Zhou Jinhuai of being unfaithful as a friend.
Zhou Jinhuai was not polite either. He said to everyone, "I used to treat him as a friend, but he went to my house to steal my money and ran away."
"If it were you, what should I do?"
People shook their heads when they heard this. Who would make such a friend?
Zhou Jinhuai said: "Even if you see me in the future, you will treat me as if you don't know me, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!" After
Zhou Jin had not noticed it yet, Tang Yucai was staring at him fiercely.
Zhou Jinhuai was doing business, but when he was about to go home, he found it was already dark.
A friend advised him to stay for a night before leaving, but Zhou Jinhuai insisted on going home.
He was walking halfway and suddenly found a blind girl walking in front of him.
Seeing that the two people were about to run into each other, he quickly turned around to give way to the blind girl.
He also reminded: "Be careful, don't fall ."
blind girl thanked her and continued to walk forward.
Suddenly the blind girl called him, and the blind girl said, "Don't go to the grave tomorrow, someone is waiting to harm you."
If it weren't for the blind girl's reminder, he really planned to visit his father's grave tomorrow.
Zhou Jinhuai still wanted to ask a question, but the blind girl refused to say anything.
"I told you because of your kindness. Don't ask more about the rest."
On the second day, Zhou Jinhuai stayed at home all day, and someone told him a message in the evening.
"Fortunately you didn't go to the grave. There were many bandits on that road today. It seemed that they were fighting with someone."
Zhou Jinhuai was also glad that if he met a bandit, he would lose little money, and it was not certain whether he could save his life.
Zhou Jinhuai would not have thought that there was a net waiting for him in front of him!
Zhou Jinhuai felt something was wrong as soon as he entered the village. Many villagers gathered to chat at the bustling entrance of the village, but today there was not a single one.
As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he heard his son crying and saying, "Father, save me quickly, the bad guys are going to kill me."
Tang Yucai walked out of the house, and there were many tall men following behind him, which seemed to be difficult to mess with.
Zhou Jinhuai's wife and children were tied up, and two knives were still placed on their necks.
Tang Yucai said: "Zhou Jinhuai, you didn't give me face at the beginning. Now should you beg me to let your family go?"
Zhou Jinhuai had no choice but to kneel down and beg Tang Yucai to let his family go.
"I did everything, they are innocent."
Tang Yucai said: "It's okay to let me go, you must hand over all the money to me."
Tang Yucai found a lot of money in his house according to Zhou Jinhuai's words, and he was very happy that he was a bandit.
"I didn't expect that we had so many companies, so we just counted the richest ones!"
Zhou Jinhuai thought Tang Yucai would let him go and his family, but he didn't expect that he asked the bandits to kill them.
Zhou Jinhuai didn't understand. Even if the two of them had a quarrel, Tang Yucai wouldn't treat him like this!
Tang Yucai said, "As soon as I see your expression, I know you are confused, so I will let you die and understand!"
Tang Yucai just stole the silver and was caught by the bandits. The bandits not only beat him up, but also took the 20 taels of silver he had stolen for themselves.
The bandits also wanted to kill Tang Yucai, but Tang Yucai begs for mercy and expressed his willingness to help the bandits.
He pretended to be a beggar and entered the city, searching for wealthy families everywhere, and then passed the message to the bandits.
He will follow the bandits to other homes, and they will run away after doing all their bad things.
That day, Tang Yucai met Zhou Jinhuai on the street. He wanted to ask Zhou Jinhuai for help and let him give him a place to sit, but who knew that Zhou Jinhuai ignored him.
instead revealed his old truth in front of so many people, which made Tang Yucai hold a grudge.
He recommended Zhou Jinhuai's home to the bandits and said that his family had a lot of money.
Tang Yucai learned that Zhou Jinhuai was going to visit his father's grave, so he took the bandits to intercept the road, but he didn't expect that Zhou Jinhuai did not go.
Unwilling to give up, he led the bandits into the village, and the villagers were threatened by them, so the village was so quiet.
Tang Yucai said, "No one of you wants to go out alive, come and die!"
After saying that, Tang Yucai rushed over with his sword, and at this moment, the family dog and the villagers arrived.
It turned out that seeing that the dog was in bad condition, it came to the villagers' home and rescued the villagers.
Then he brought the villagers to Zhou Jinhuai's home. They saw the scene of Zhou Jinhuai going to be killed, and everyone rushed forward.
Tang Yucai was seriously injured in a fight with the villagers, and the bandits did not get any advantage.
The villagers handed over the uniformed Tang Yucai and the bandits to the government, and they were sentenced to beheading not long after.
Zhou Jinhuai is very grateful to the dog for saving his life, and he rewarded the dog well.
The village has returned to peace, and Zhou Jinhuai lives here happily.
Summary: Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. Although it is not absolute, this also makes sense.
Don't associate with bad people, they will indirectly affect you and make you do the wrong things.
The prodigal son will never change his gold. Only when he knows his mistakes can he have a bright future.
Born to be ordinary, you need to work hard, and people with will do whatever you want. Bad friends lead astray and eventually lose themselves and regret it.
