Chen Ajian, the legendary "Bite Mom's Mimi"

At the urging of my husband, I decided to write down the story I heard from my parents about Chen Ajian, the biggest Jiang Yang thief in Wuxi. There is a saying in Wuxi that "a charming child is like killing a child, and a stick is a dutiful son". This case is a classic folk story.

Chen Ajian was probably born in the Qing Dynasty and lived in Chenxiang (most of the village is surnamed Chen), which is located by the canal. When he was 2 years old, his father died, and his mother doted on him very much, with almost no principles. There are several childhood stories that we are familiar with.

First, leaning against the wall to steal bream

About when Chen Ajian was six or seven years old, a fishmonger came. Chen Ajian clamored for fish. At that time, he did not have enough to eat. How can he afford fish? No matter how much you like it, you must have economic conditions!

So his mother said to him angrily, "I can't afford rice." If you want to eat fish, steal it! " "Just casually said a joke, but it became the preface of Chen Ajian's" legend "life.

It is said that if such a greedy cat wants to "cure his gluttony disease" on his own, he can only find a way by himself. He ran to the fishmonger and waited quietly. While the fishmonger was not looking, he caught a fish and hid it behind his back. He stayed in the corner until the fishmonger left with the burden, and then he ran home with the stolen fish.

In the Qing dynasty at that time, in fact, family education still attached great importance to ethics. Generally speaking, children caught stealing by their parents must be severely taught a lesson.

But Chen Ajian's mother is a wonderful flower. She saw the fish in the child's hand and heard the process of stealing the fish. Instead of scolding, she happily praised her son for being clever!

Second, breaking cotton and stealing oil.

If the child does something bad and the parents don't stop it in time, then there will be two thieves.

Once, there was no vegetable oil at home, and his mother asked Chen Ajian to get oil, but he only asked his mother for a broken cotton-padded jacket. When he came to the oil mill, he saw that the shop was crowded with people, so he took the opportunity to get in. When people were unprepared, he "accidentally" dropped the sleeves of two cotton-padded jackets into the oil drum.

That's not enough. He also called for catching thieves with thieves and preempting them. He just cried and shouted that the oil seller would pay for his broken cotton-padded jacket. Others said that he put down the store and went home "wronged".

As soon as he got home, he twisted his two sleeves and squeezed out a lot of vegetable oil. Naturally, he praised him again!

Third, duck eggs are hidden under the armpit.

After tasting the sweetness, he began to target the duck egg seller again. This time, he still squatted patiently next to the duck egg vendor, because the children naturally wouldn't want to drive away.

But when you turn around, there are fewer duck eggs. Seeing that the child was still there, the vegetable seller asked him, "Son, did you take this duck egg?"

Chen Ajian did take the duck eggs and squatted beside him for the duck eggs in his basket, but this little guy just refused to admit it.

This kid is big and has a first-class ability to pretend. He just shook his head and pretended to be innocent. The peddler checked his pockets and found no evidence, so he left angrily.

How did he think that children would hide duck eggs under their arms? When I got home, my mother began to fry duck eggs and continued to praise her son for being "smart"!

If you don't teach as a child, you will become a habitual thief when you grow up. Chen Ajian is talented. He can peek at the martial arts of buying boxing and teach himself. Later, he was bold and did whatever he wanted.

According to legend, he ran to the store to steal the money box, dressed as a demon with long hair, and hid in the money box and barked like a mouse. When the shopkeeper heard the sound, he opened the cash box and was shocked at once. How is he? Naturally, I took the money and left calmly.

Later, he stole the merchant ship escorted by the escort agency, Kuyin in Suzhou, and a wealthy businessman in Haiyan, Zhejiang ... Finally, because of his bad conduct, no girl was willing to marry him, and he started a "part-time job" as a flower thief, and even caused a shameful murder (the murder was too bloody and disgusting to mention here), so he was wanted by the government.

Moreover, he has a good brain and has the ability of anti-reconnaissance for a long time. When the government arrested him, once, he was about to be arrested. He returned home with a full load. In the snow, he ran for his life in his shoes. Those official tolerances will naturally go in the opposite direction. So, he dodged a bullet.

It is said that later, in order to escape, he fried the soybeans, watered them with water, and simply disfigured himself into a pockmarked face and escaped.

As the saying goes, "Skynet is slow but not leaking", Chen Ajian has a bad habit-gambling, and he is addicted to gambling. According to his habit, the government spies in various casinos.

Sure enough, Chen Ajian couldn't resist gambling addiction and entered the casino again. His self-control has changed beyond recognition, and he has no concern. Because he lost several hands in a row, he took out all the silver coins and shouted, "If this one loses, I won't be called Chen Ajian!" " "The words sound just fell and was captured by the officers and men lying in ambush around.

Chen Ajian was sentenced to death in Suzhou and sent to Wuxi for execution. Before I left, my mother went to see me off and asked him if he had anything else to explain.

He shook the capital and only said to her, "Mom, I grew up drinking your milk. Now I have to go and want to have another drink. " Mother naturally wouldn't refuse and took off her clothes in tears, but Chen Ajian bit it hard.

There are two versions of the ending: one is that the mother died of pain because her nipple was bitten off. Secondly, the mother is still alive, but because her son died, she went crazy and shouted all day: "A Jian! A sword! Tip ..... "

This case has a great influence, even compared with the old saying "Jiangyin robber Wuxi thief" in Wuxi. The thief is said to be this Chen Ajian.

From these scattered folklore, we can see that if Chen Ajian can meet his educated mother, maybe he can become the pride of Wuxi, not a scar that we want to expose easily.

Therefore, we may also have to reflect: as parents, we really need to love our children wholeheartedly, but this kind of love must have principles, we must give children good and bad standards, we must not impose interference, but we must be the watchmen of our own private plots.

Correct mistakes in time and help them turn over a new leaf in time; Check yourself in time and be a qualified example in time.
