In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a family surnamed Sun on the boundary of Lingzhou, and they were a famous local family. The ancestors of the Sun family have Xi Sun for generations, inheriting the prestige and prestige of the family. According to rumors, Sun Yuanwai's grandfather was a highly respected Sun Juren who had a prominent position in the local area. It is with this profound family background that the Sun family has 100 acres of fertile land and lives a rich and healthy life. In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the situation was difficult, but the Sun family still maintained relative stability and superiority in this turbulent era.
A gentleman from Sun Yuanwai's family, although he has a kind personality, he is known for being stingy. He often seems too stingy because of small things, such as deducting the wages of long-term workers in the family. However, in this Sun Yuanwai's wife, Qian's family, compared with Sun Yuanwai's stinginess, Qian showed a benevolent side. She often cares for the long-term workers in the family, providing them with help and care.
In this story, a young man named Erniu enters the life of the Sun family. Erniu's fate was not satisfactory, and his parents died tragically due to fleeing the famine. The benevolent wife Qian reached out in time to save Erniu from his predicament. Erniu looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, in the prime of his youth. Compared with Sun Ping, the son of the Sun family, Erniu is about the same age as Sun Ping, so the Qian family is very concerned about Erniu's diet and daily life.
Erniu integrated into the life of the Sun family, and Sun Yuanwai arranged some work for him. Since his father was a coachman, Erniu was quite experienced in taking care of horses, so he was assigned to be in charge of drinking horses. Not only that, but he also showed his skill at chopping wood at the kitchen door, making him a useful assistant in the family. Although Sun Yuan was stingy, they began to give a certain appreciation and trust to the young man for Erniu's ability and diligence.
However, over time, Erniu's attitude gradually changed. Originally diligent and obedient, he began to show some arrogant and lazy tendencies, and even unfair to other long-term workers. He took advantage of the time to drink horses to be lazy, and hid from work in the firewood room. This change caused dissatisfaction among other family members and long-term workers, and some people even reported the situation to Sun Yuanwai and the Qian family.
Qian was very worried about the changes in Erniu. She believes that young people tend to make mistakes when they grow up, but such an attitude is not advisable for family and society. Therefore, she decided to take steps to change Erniu's behavior, hoping to make him re-realize the importance of responsibility and hard work.
Faced with Erniu's changes, Qian was deeply worried, and in order to change his attitude, she decided to seek the help of the goddess. She personally went to the local goddess and told Erniu about her laziness and arrogance. Seeing Qian's sincerity, the goddess took out a chicken feather for her and dripped blood on it. Early one morning, when Erniu was hiding in the firewood room and being lazy, Qian quietly came to his residence. She deftly threw the bloody chicken feather into the firewood room along the window.
Miraculously, since then, Erniu's attitude has begun to change. Whenever he tried to laze in the firewood room, he could suddenly hear the crowing of chickens in the distance. This unusual phenomenon made Erniu feel very troubled and had to give up his original plan. This ingenious scheme, through the mysterious crowing of a rooster, successfully changed Erniu's attitude and made him diligent and obedient again. This also made the harmonious atmosphere of the Sun family gradually restored, and won the opportunity for Erniu to reform himself.
Under the influence of Qian's ingenious schemes, Erniu gradually realized his mistakes. He was deeply aware of his former laziness and arrogance, and began to reflect on his actions. Erniu's attitude has changed 180 degrees, and he is full of gratitude for Qian's good intentions. The lady's stratagem saved him from being kicked out of his house by Sun Yuanwai, and also made him realize that his happy life was not easy to come by.
Observing the obvious change in Erniu's attitude, Sun Yuanwai was also satisfied with the young man's change. Perhaps seeing his remorse, Sun Yuanwai decided to give him another chance.
Erniu re-established himself in the family and began to show his hard-working and law-abiding side. Instead of indulging in the laziness and arrogance of the past, work hard and fulfill your responsibilities. Sun Yuanwai saw this change and was satisfied with Erniu's transformation, which also made him more determined to keep Erniu. So, Erniu stayed in the Sun family with peace of mind and became a member of this warm family. The fruits of his labor and the improvement of his moral character in the Sun family won the respect and trust of his family and long-term workers.
And when Sun Ping returned home, he established a deep brotherhood with Erniu. Although they come from different backgrounds, they have formed a friendship of brothers with different surnames because they live together in the Sun family. This unusual fate not only enabled Erniu to find the warmth of home in the Sun family, but also injected more unity and warmth into the whole family.
