There are two brothers with the surname An, the older brother is called Dacheng and the younger brother is called Ercheng, whose father has died, and there is only one mother, which is very fierce.
Dacheng married a daughter-in-law, surnamed Chen, who was very gentle and virtuous, and served her mother-in-law diligently every day, but Anmu looked at her unfavorably everywhere and raised her eyebrows. Dacheng is a foolish filial piety, and when he sees that his mother is not happy, he scolds Coral for not serving his mother well, and Coral does not argue.
Once, Dacheng was sick, and Coral went to ask her mother-in-law for safety, and her mother-in-law scolded her for showing the flowers and branches she dressed up. Coral had to go back to the room, take off the jewelry and go to ask For Ann, the mother-in-law was even angrier, scolding her for bumping into her mother-in-law, and also crying and making a fuss about her own life.
When the big prejudice became like this, he beat up the coral, wrote a letter of resignation, and asked an old servant woman to send her back to her mother's house.
Coral was embarrassed and embarrassed, and halfway to the road, he took out a pair of scissors hidden in his sleeve, and when he stabbed his chest, blood gushed out. Fortunately, there was no thorn in the center, and the old servant was so frightened that he quickly sent her to a nearby aunt's house for treatment and saved her life.
The eldest aunt is dacheng's aunt of the family, living alone at home, and after the coral wound heals, she lives in the aunt's house.
A few days later, Dacheng learned of this and went to the aunt's house and asked the aunt to drive the coral back to her mother's house.
The aunt asked: What's wrong with coral?
Dacheng said: She is not filial to my mother.
Coral was nearby, and did not speak, just tears, and the tears gradually turned into blood, staining the white placket red. Dacheng did not dare to speak again, and went home with his head bowed.
Anmu also knew, so she ran to her aunt's house and scolded. The eldest aunt is not a vegetarian, counting out an aunt's usual evil deeds, and said: The coral has been suspended by you, and it is no longer your family's people, and now I take in the daughter of the Chen family, not your daughter-in-law, you can't control it.
Anmu Li was poor and went home in ashes.
Coral, afraid of further trouble to her aunt, insisted on leaving, and the aunt sent her to a relative's house in the field. That relative happened to be Anmu's own sister, Dacheng's aunt.
The aunt's husband and son have died, the family only has a mother-in-law and a small grandson, the family is not rich, coral stays, every day to help spin and weave fabrics to make some money.
It is said that Anmu wants to find another daughter-in-law for Dacheng, but her fierceness has long been known, and no one wants to marry her daughter to his family.
Ercheng also reached the age of marriage, and Anmu found a matchmaker to marry him a daughter-in-law.
Unexpectedly, the second daughter-in-law is a powerful figure, more fierce and fierce than Anmu, Anmu wants to pose for the prestige of her mother-in-law, she does not eat that set at all, but every day she treats her mother-in-law as a slave, and if she is slightly dissatisfied, she will smash the pot and smash the bowl and scold, and Anmu's arrogance will be suppressed and completely extinguished.
Ercheng has a cowardly personality and does not dare to defend his mother, and Dacheng cannot discipline his sister-in-law, so he has to help his mother work by himself, and the mother and son quietly cry behind their backs.
Until Anmu was so tired that she fell ill in bed, Dacheng had to wait for her mother day and night, and she was too tired to bear it, so she ran to her aunt for help.
When he arrived at his aunt's house, he cried bitterly about the suffering in the family, and before he could finish speaking, he saw the coral come out, and he ran back in shame.
The next day, the aunt came to the An family to take care of the sister, and the servants of the aunt's family would send some food every day, and the things were prepared very carefully.
An Mu sighed: What a blessing my sister has cultivated, and she can have such a good daughter-in-law.
My aunt asked: Was your coral bad before?
Mother An said: Better than the second daughter-in-law, but not as good as your daughter-in-law.
When Anmu was well, her aunt took her to live in her house for a few days, and she saw her aunt's daughter-in-law and praised filial piety.
The aunt said: If a young daughter-in-law is perfect, who will not have a little fault, but I can tolerate her, and you, even if you have a better daughter-in-law, you don't know the blessing.
Mother An was not convinced, and said: I will not know what to do, coral is not as good as your daughter-in-law.
My aunt said: Tell you the truth, the things sent earlier were not sent by my daughter-in-law, but were all bought to you by the money earned by corals themselves from spinning and weaving.
Anmu was very surprised, the aunt called the coral out to meet, Anmu slapped herself in shame, the aunt and the coral persuaded together, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reconciled from then on.
Anmu and Coral go home together, and then let Dacheng and the second daughter-in-law scold and make a big fuss, Dacheng divides the good land in the family to the two percent, and the second daughter-in-law gives up. The two families are separated by a wall, but they do not communicate with each other.
Despite this, the second daughter-in-law still sneered at the Dacheng family across the courtyard all day long, and the coral told the family to ignore it, and all of them did not hear it.
Ercheng's daughter-in-law had no place to pour fire, so she tortured Ercheng and Yahuan at home, and Yahuan couldn't stand committing suicide.
Yahuan's family went to the county court, and 20% of her daughter-in-law was taken to court and tortured, and all ten fingers were almost cut off. Ercheng interceded for her and was also beaten to the board.
The county order was a corrupt official, and 20% took the good land title as collateral and borrowed a large amount of money to bribe the county order, and the two were released home. After returning home, the two families could not afford to pay back the money, and they saw that all the good land was going to go to someone else.
That night, Dacheng dreamed that his father told him that there was a pot of silver under the Ziwei tree behind the house, and asked him to redeem the field property and not to give the second brother a defeat.
Dacheng woke up and told his mother that Anmu didn't believe it. But this was heard by Ercheng's daughter-in-law, so she shouted to Ercheng to dig quickly, but the digging was a few feet deep, only some bricks and stones, and there was no silver.
After they left, Coral went to see it, saw all the silver, and quickly asked Dacheng to move home.
Ercheng heard that the eldest brother had dug up the silver, so he came to ask for an equal division. Dacheng had already divided into two parts and was preparing to give them half of them, and when he saw that Twenty Percent was coming, he let him take it back.
Twenty percent took it home and opened it to see that it was all stones. Ercheng's daughter-in-law angrily threw the stones to Dacheng's house, and when she saw the silver piled up on the table, she made a big fuss, and Dacheng had to ask her to take back the other half of the silver.
The next day, 20% took the silver and went to redeem the fields. Who knew that as soon as he returned, the creditor chased after him with silver, saying that all he had given was fake silver, and that a layer of tin foil was wrapped in mud, and he wanted to drag him to see the official.
The two sons were afraid to go to court, so they had to give the land to the creditor.
After that, the two sons thought that Dacheng was intent on harming them, and quietly summed it up, and the second son took the fake silver to the Dacheng family and said: The younger brother knows that it is wrong, these silver belong to the brother, we dare not ask for it, since those good fields do not belong to me, let the brother redeem it.
Dacheng took the silver to redeem the land, and the creditor carefully examined it, and it was all real silver, so he gave him the land title.
The daughter-in-law of The Second Cheng thought that the Dacheng family had also hidden the real silver, and ran over to make trouble, and Dacheng gave them the land title.
That night, Ercheng dreamed that his father said to him: If you do not filial piety to your mother and do not respect your brother, you will die, and you will still occupy those fields and do something.
Ercheng woke up in shock and told his daughter-in-law, but she refused to believe it.
The Ercheng family had two sons, and after a few days, the eldest son died of chickenpox. The daughter-in-law was frightened, and quickly asked Ercheng to give the land title to Dacheng, but Dacheng resolutely refused to accept it.
A few days later, the second son died again. The second daughter-in-law was even more frightened and forcibly put the land title in the Dacheng house.
Moreover, the second daughter-in-law changed the fierceness of the past and went to her mother-in-law every day to perform filial piety and respect her brother and sister-in-law. Not long after, Anmu died of illness, and the two daughters-in-law cried loudly, did not eat or drink, and almost fainted.
The crowd felt strange, and she said, "I can't fulfill my filial piety, this is the opportunity for God not to give me atonement."
Sure enough, the second daughter-in-law conceived several children, but none of them survived.
Dacheng's daughter-in-law gave birth to two sons, both of whom passed the jinshi examination, and the family was happy and happy.
