The story of training husband

After Wang Er grew up and started a family, because the Liu family gave birth to five girls in a row, he felt that his brother's family would be a big expense due to the large population, so he proposed to split up the family. His wife Jiang's dissuasion was ineffective. The brothers divided the house, property, and land equally into two parts, and each lived a separate life from then on.

Wang Er and his wife are hard-working and capable, coupled with Jiang's careful budgeting, they are good at living a simple life. Life was very prosperous.

The Liu family of Wang Dayin gave birth to five daughters in a row and no son-in-law. Now that they are old, they may not be able to have another daughter. I will lose my incense in the future, and no one will even visit the grave to burn paper. I feel depressed, drink all day long, and often get drunk.

One day after drinking, I was dragged into the casino by a gambler. Once you step in, you can't help yourself. Mrs. Liu tried to persuade him, but he couldn't listen and even scolded Mrs. Liu. Slowly lost all the family savings. He also sold houses and land. Mrs. Jiang asked Wang Er to persuade him, but he wouldn't listen. Mrs. Jiang asked Wang Er to buy his house and land.

Two years later, the Wang family’s house and land were sold out. A family of seven people crowded into a warehouse, digging wild vegetables and picking wild fruits to satisfy their hunger. Winter is coming, and wild vegetables and fruits are gone. The whole family was suffering from hunger and cold. Mrs. Liu said to Wang Da: "Go to my second brother's house to borrow some food. You can't starve to death like this."

Wang Da said: "My second brother, can you lend it to us?" Mrs. Liu said. : "The second brother often lends money to his friends. You are his brother, can you still refuse to lend?" Wang Da said: "We are like this now, who dares to lend us."

Ms. Liu said : "You know now, you can change it in the future. You go ahead, if the second brother doesn't want to borrow it, tell him how we pulled him so hard, and let him save him for the sake of me pulling him. If he doesn’t lend it to you, tell us that our well was in their house when we split up. We should give it to us in cash.”

Wang Da came to Wang Er's house and saw Wang Er sweeping the yard in the courtyard. He walked over and explained his purpose. Wang Er stared at him and said, "Can't you bet? Go and gamble! What can you borrow from me? No."

Wang Da talked about how he and Liu raised Wang Er. After saying a few words, Wang Er became anxious: "Don't tell me about those old sesame seeds and rotten millet. I don't like to hear it." When Wang Da saw that he couldn't listen, he said, "Second brother, our well is divided into two families." It’s time for us to get half of it. Please give us half of it.” Wang Er said, “You want all of that well.” "Take it away." Wang Da said, "Okay, since it's about this, let's talk about it. Our parents died early, and you grew up on your sister-in-law's milk." You always owe us, right? Just give us the milk money.”

Wang Er said: “My mother is gone, so it’s natural for her to give me milk! You’re here.” This is nonsense!" After saying that, he pushed Wang Dada to the ground. Mrs. Jiang hurriedly came out of the house and pulled Wang Er into the house. Said: "You have borrowed it from all your friends, so just lend it to the eldest brother."

Wang Er stared and said: "Nonsense! The eldest brother has lost all his family property, so if you lend it to him, what will he get in return?" Give it to us?" Mrs. Jiang said, "Okay, okay. We won't borrow it. Just calm down. Don't get so angry." After a while, she said, "Go out through the back door and have some drinks with some friends." Relax."

After Wang Er left, Mrs. Jiang hurriedly came out of the house and helped Wang Da, who was squatting on the ground and crying, and said, "Brother, give me the rice bag and I will put some rice in it for you. "Wang Da said, "Why don't you two fight if you lend me the rice?" Jiang said, "It's okay, he has left through the back door."

Ms. Jiang went back to the house and packed a bag of rice. She also took some loose silver and gave it to Wang Da, saying, "Brother, take it back quickly. Don't gamble anymore." Wang Da said, "I'll give this money to you." You can't take it. If you let the second brother know, you will fight. "Brother, don't worry. He won't know." Wang Da said, "Brother, you are such a good person!" Thank you?" Ms. Jiang said, "Brother, don't talk about this to me. You should go back quickly." After Wang Da left, Ms. Jiang thought: Why are these two brothers so troubled? Okay? You have to think of a way to persuade them. ...She caught sight of a big green dog raised at home. She had an idea.

Ms. Jiang went to the drugstore and bought a pack of arsenic, put it into the steamed buns and threw it to the big green dog. The big green dog ate the steamed buns and died. Mrs. Jiang put the big green dog into a sack and took it to the firewood stack.

When Wang Er came back, Mrs. Jiang asked with a sad face: "Who did you offend outside?" Wang Er said: "No one was offended?" Mrs. Jiang said: "No one was offended? How could anyone be there? Beat someone to death, put them in a sack, and throw them next to our firewood pile to blame us?"

Wang Er was startled, "Where is he?" Mrs. Jiang pointed towards the firewood pile. Wang Er looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough he saw a sack, which seemed to contain a dead person. "What...what should we do?" Wang Er was dumbfounded. Mrs. Jiang said: "Don't you have many friends? Go to them for help."

Wang Er left and did not come back dejectedly until dark. Ms. Jiang asked: "How is it?" Wang Er said: "Those guys hid far away as soon as they heard about this. No one was willing to help."

Ms. Jiang asked: "What happened? What to do?" Wang Er said: "I don't know." After a while, Jiang said: "We are brothers fighting tigers. You should ask your eldest brother for help." Wang Er said: "No, today. My eldest brother came to our house to borrow rice and money. I didn’t lend it to him and pushed him down.”

You can go ahead if they don’t. Help; just say that I asked you to ask them." Wang Da said: "Why are you so easy to do?" Jiang said: "You try it."

Wang Er arrived at Wang's house. , as soon as he said the matter, Wang Da stood up immediately: "Okay, second brother, what happened to the corrupt officials? Okay! I went to your house to borrow rice. You didn't lend me the money and pushed me down. Now I want to find the corrupt officials." I'll help, it's not that cheap. I'll sue you at the Yamen." He said bluffing and walked out. < /p>

At this time, Mrs. Liu grabbed Wang Da and said: "You two brothers, listen carefully. Today I will tell you something that is very heartfelt. Husband, you can't blame the second brother for not lending us money. Share it. We had the same family property back then. The second brother has developed into what it is now. As for you, you have lost everything. If the second brother borrows it from you, what will you give in return? Besides, even if the second brother lends you a gold mountain, you will probably lose everything. ." Wang Da lowered his head.

Ms. Liu continued: "Second brother, I won't be angry if you don't lend your brother money. But you shouldn't not even lend him food, but push your brother down. As the saying goes: The eldest brother is like Father, my eldest sister-in-law is better than my mother. But what do you think of us as a couple? We are not even as good as your friends. When you were little, you shared your niece’s milk to survive. . When you fight with your nieces, I will always protect you. Today, we will borrow some food from you to save the lives of our whole family. If you don’t look at the Buddha’s face, you should also look at your sister-in-law’s kindness to you. Wang Er hurriedly kowtowed to his sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong, I was really wrong."

Ms. Liu looked at Wang Da again and said, "Husband, we have to help with this." After all, the second brother is your biological brother. You two are from the same family. Think about it. Is it worth it if I don’t help my younger brother and sister? I'll help you think of something for your sister's sake. Let's go to your house and have a look." Wang Er and his wife followed Wang Er to Wang Er's house. Wang Da looked at the sack containing the dead dog and said, "There is nothing else we can do now. Let's take 'him' out and bury him when it gets dark." He looked at Wang Er and said, "You are cowardly. , Go get a shovel. I'll carry it." After that, he picked up the sack and walked out.

Wang Er quickly picked up a shovel and followed. The two found a small forest, dug a hole, and buried the big green dog. When she came back, Mrs. Jiang made a table of wine and food for Wang and his wife. After the food and wine were put on the table, Mrs. Jiang said: "Brother, sister-in-law, you eat slowly. While eating, listen to what I say.

As the saying goes: everything will be prosperous if the family is harmonious, and the family will not tolerate being bullied by outsiders. Husband, , you have made so many friends, we often eat and drink together. You help anyone with anything, and you borrow money from anyone. But when you have something to do, they all stay away from you. , you not only refused to borrow, but also pushed your elder brother down. I heard that your sister-in-law raised you up. How would you be today without your brother and sister-in-law? Besides, when we separated, your brother and sister-in-law let us pick everything. . Are you worthy of the kindness your brother and sister-in-law show to us? You treat your eldest brother like that, but at the critical moment, your eldest brother still takes the risk to help you."

He turned around and poured a glass of wine for Wang Da and said: "Brother, all the mistakes are your brother's fault. But then again, you shouldn't drink and gamble all day long and lose all your family property just because your sister-in-law didn't give birth to a son.

If we help you like this, we will also go bankrupt. If you can stop gambling, I will advise your second brother to take you back and we can live together.

Wang Er quickly said: "Yes, brother, as long as you stop gambling, you can move back and live together." Wang Da lowered his head and said, "Brothers and sisters, if you treat us like this, if I gamble again, am I still a human being?" Mrs. Jiang said, "Okay, brother, you can move back here tomorrow."

From then on, the two brothers worked together to manage the family business, and their lives became more prosperous.
