Who can tell me the general content of The Stingy Man?

Abaggong is a loan shark in Paris, who is both harsh and stingy. His wife died young and left behind a son and a daughter. The son's name is Clayant, and his daughter's name is Alice. Abagong lacked warmth and care towards them. He collected a lot of gold and silver, but there was no sparkle of jewelry on his daughter, and his son had to rely on loans and gambling to wear a few decent clothes. There is a carriage at home, but Abagong rarely goes out a few times a year. He wanted the whole family to live in poverty with him.

The noble young man Valere is a smart and loyal young man. In a storm, he rescued Abagong's daughter Alice who fell into the water. From then on they had a passionate love. In order to get close to his lover, Valere concealed his identity and worked as a servant in Abagong's house. He won Abagong's trust by means of flattery, flattery, and attrition, and became the general manager. In this way, he can fall in love with Alice every day. But he was worried that since he had little money, it would be difficult for Abagong to agree to his marriage in the future. Alice offered to draw her brother Creon to her side so she could have his support if necessary. Valere said that the personalities of Abagong and his son were so different: I was a hard-earned man, and my son was a spendthrift. It was very difficult for him to deal with both parties well.

While they were talking, Clayont arrived. Valere asked Alice to talk to his brother as his sister. But before Alice could speak, Clayonte enthusiastically told her secret of love.

Clayant said that he fell in love with a young and beautiful girl, Mariana, who had just moved to Paris with her mother. She has touching tenderness, touching compassion, and admirable dignity and stability. She served her old and sick mother with great tenderness and consideration. Clayant saw that their family was not wealthy and secretly borrowed money to support them. He wants Alice to help him find out whether his father agrees with his marriage. If not, he is determined to fly away with the person he loves and leave the family. The brothers and sisters recalled the cold way their father treated them, and they missed their deceased mother with infinite affection.

Abba is angry with his servant Laf Lai Shi. He called La Flesh like a spy and a spy, always watching his every move with his goddam eyes, intent on stealing from him. La Flesh replied that no one could steal his things. He kept everything locked up tightly himself and watched day and night. Abagong asked in a low voice:

"You won't go out and spread rumors that I have gold and silver hidden in my house, right?"

"Are you hiding gold and silver?" Fu Laishi asked back.

"No, you bastard, I didn't say that." Abagong was anxious.

Abagong seems to have discovered something. He pointed at Laffer's trousers and said: "Such baggy trousers are naturally a good place to hide stolen goods." So he began to search Laffer's body. But he found nothing. As Lafler left, he thought to himself: "How happy I would be if I could steal this stingy guy!" Collect it, he was really troubled by this matter. He originally wanted to hide the gold coins in the house, but he thought it would just attract thieves to the house, so he couldn't do this. Later, he buried the gold coins in the garden along with his treasure chest. Although he was the only one who knew about this, he was afraid that someone would see the flaw and he felt uneasy.

Alice and Clayont come to find their father. Abagong asked them first, did they hear what he said to himself just now? The brother and sister assured themselves that they heard nothing. Abagong said he was muttering that he had no money. Then he accused Clayant of spending too much money and dressing like a prince. If the money he spent on him was calculated, it would be enough to make a good debt. At the same time, asked him if he stole money from home? Clayant said that there was no way he could steal his father's money. As for the money he spent on clothes, he won it by gambling outside, and his gambling luck had always been very good.

Clayont did not expect that the moneylender was his father, and Abagong did not expect that the man who was eager to borrow a large sum of money was his son. Abagong scolded Clayont as a prodigal who spent money like water and was a ridiculous murderer. Clayont said unceremoniously: "Think about it, who is more guilty, the one who borrowed money because he needed it, or the one who didn't need the money at all but cheated people out of it?" "Who?" The father and son had a big quarrel and it was a mess.

The matchmaker Frausin claims to be a person who relies on "cleverness" to make a living. She acted as a matchmaker for Abagong and praised Mariana greatly. She said that although Mariana was poor and had no compensation for her marriage, she could at least bring Abagong an annuity of twelve thousand francs every year. Abagong asked greedily where he started talking about this? Frauzin then recited an account to him: First, Mariana was used to living in poverty, she lived frugally and did not need fine food, so she could save at least three thousand francs a year; second, she dressed simply, There is no need for gorgeous clothes or expensive jewelry, which can save more than four thousand francs a year; thirdly, she does not know how to gamble, so she can spend at least five thousand francs less on this. Abagong said that this is indeed not bad, but there is nothing real in this account. Frauzin said that this would be fulfilled when they got married.

Abagong was worried that Mariana would be unhappy when she saw him because he was old and suffering from bronchitis. Frausin said that Mariana was different from other girls. She liked her older husband best, especially the one who wore reading glasses. Talking about Abagong makes my heart itch. Fu Laoxin thought that since she had become such a great matchmaker, Aba would be grateful to her and could get some profit from him. So she said she was in a lawsuit with someone and needed money. As soon as Abagong heard about money, his face immediately became serious, and he quickly changed the subject. Frauzin gritted his teeth in anger.

In order to hold an engagement ceremony for his daughter, Abagong mobilized the whole family. He assigned Granny Grote to clean the room and yard, and the male servants Brandava and Lamelus to clean the wine glasses and pour wine for the guests. Brandava pointed out that there was a large oil stain on the placket of his coat, and Lammer Lu Shi pointed out that the back crotch of his bloomers was full of holes, which would be very unsightly if there were no other clothes to replace them with. Abagong was afraid of spending money, so he told Lamai Lu Shi to point the side of his torn trousers towards the wall when pouring wine for the guests. As for Brandava, when serving food, he can hold his hat in front of his jacket to cover the oil stains.

Abagong also ordered his son to receive Mariana in a friendly manner and not to greet his stepmother with a mournful expression like other people. He wanted Jacques, the cook, to spend less and do more when cooking. Jacques asked him if he wanted to serve a roast? Aba Gong immediately covered Jacques' mouth with his hand. He cursed: "You rip-off spy, are you going to eat up all my property?" Valere ran over to the rescue and said that he had planned the dinner. Abagong was still worried and explained: "We have to prepare some things that people don't like to eat but will make them full once they eat them, such as fat assorted rotten meat, and a can of noodles with more chestnuts."

Abagong asked Jacques to tell him what people outside said about him. Jacques told him honestly that people outside said that Abagong was a mean man, a miser, a miser and a keeper of Hell's tent. Abagong was very angry after hearing this and beat Jacques hard. Jacques was full of grievances and wanted to calm down Valaire, but Valaire was not easy to bully, so he gave him a few sticks. Jacques felt that this day was really unlucky.

Flausin used sweet words to trick Mariana into attending the engagement ceremony of Abagong's daughter. According to Frausin's instructions, Aba Gong put on reading glasses and came out to greet her, and kept calling Mariana "my beauty". Mariana felt sick when she saw Abagong's strange appearance, and was so panicked that she didn't know what to do. At this time, Clayant came out, and Abagong introduced that this was his son. Mariana was shocked again. She didn't expect that this young man she usually liked would have a father-son relationship with Abagong. Clayont was not stupid. He took the opportunity of welcoming his stepmother to confess his love to her.

So he asked Valere what marks he had to confirm his identity instead of making false claims. Valere said that he kept a small ruby ??signet of his father, which his mother had put on his arm in an agate bracelet, and that he had his old servant Bertro who was with him as a witness.

When Valere and Ang Saimo were talking, Mariana had been listening attentively. By this time she could hold it no longer, and broke in to say that everything Valere had said clearly proved that he was her brother. Ang Saimo was also very excited. He said that then, Valere and Mariana were his children who had been separated for many years. This sudden chance encounter stunned everyone present.

It turns out that Angsaimo’s original name was Lord Thomas, and he was a great nobleman in Naples, Italy. Sixteen years ago, there was a riot in the city of Naples. Lord Thomas fled with his family. They happened to encounter a storm at sea and the boat they were on capsized. After Toma was rescued ashore, he thought that everyone in his family was buried under the sea. He returned to his hometown, sold his property, changed his name to Ang Saimo, and lived a wandering life in a foreign land. He never expected that his relatives were still alive and that his children had grown so big.

Valere also talked about his life experiences at this time. He was only 7 years old when the shipwreck occurred. He and his valet Bertro were rescued by a Spanish ship. The kind-hearted captain took him in and educated him. Later, when he found out that his father was still alive, he set out to France to find his father. On the way, he rescued Alice who fell into the water. In order to win her love, he disguised himself as a servant and temporarily stayed at Abagong's house.

Mariana’s life experience is also very bleak. She said she and her mother were salvaged from a pirate ship, where they endured ten years of slavery. Later they were freed and returned to Naples, but their property had been sold off by their father. Unable to live there, they went to Genoa and inquired about their father's whereabouts. When they came to France not long ago, they had been living in poverty. Abba admitted that none of this had anything to do with him. He pesters Valere to return his treasure chest. Clayant came out to the rescue at this time. He advised his father not to wrongly accuse good people, as he knew some new information about the box. If his father allowed him to marry Mariana, his gold and silver would return to him safe and sound. Did he say he wanted a treasure chest, or someone? This can be a choice made by the father. Abagong hopes that his treasure box can be found. Gold and silver are his lifeblood. But if his children want to get married, he is not willing to spend money. So he proposed that the wedding expenses of his son and daughter should be borne by Lord Angselmer. Ang Saimo agreed and said yes. Abagong also asked Ang Saimo to make him a new dress so that he could wear it on the day of the wedding. Ang Saimo said he would do it.

Finally, Ang Saimo led his children to see his long-lost wife. Abagong said: "Then, I'm going to take a look at my dear box."
