During the Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Liu Dabao in Weiyi County, Guizhou, although he was born poor, but with his own efforts and kindness, he eventually became a local legend.

Liu Dabao's father is a hunter, and although the family is not rich, he can barely make ends meet. However, when he was six years old, his father accidentally fell off a cliff while taking him hunting, and his father died tragically, leaving Liu Dabao an orphan ever since. The people in the town saw that he was young and pitiful, and they reached out to help, and Liu Dabao grew up eating a hundred family meals, and was full of gratitude to the town's fathers and villagers. He is enthusiastic about helping others, and he will not hesitate to help anyone with a problem, so he has won the praise of everyone.

One day, Liu Dabao went to the city to sell the firewood he had chopped back as usual. When he passed by the river, he found an old lady fainting on the ground, and he hurriedly ran over to check. He shook the old lady anxiously and called for her to wake up. Luckily, the old lady still had a faint snort. Liu Dabao picked up the old lady without hesitation, didn't care about his firewood, and hurriedly walked home.

After arriving home, Liu Dabao was busy feeding the old lady water and asking Lang Zhong to check the pulse. After some tossing, the old lady finally opened her eyes slowly. She looked at Liu Dabao and asked a little confused, "...... you."Who are you? Liu Dabao smiled happily: "Grandma, I'm Liu Dabao, and I saved you when I was chopping wood today." ”

However, Grandma was not as grateful as Liu Dabao expected, on the contrary, she began to cry. This made Liu Dabao a little at a loss. Grandma choked up and told her story. It turned out that she was from the Li family village next door and had two sons, but neither of them was willing to support her. With the coordination of the village chief, the two sons reluctantly agreed to take turns taking care of her for a month. But half a year ago, Grandma's daughter-in-law became pregnant, and there was one less laborer in the family, so Grandma became a burden. The little daughter-in-law began to find fault with her grandmother, and asked her husband to send her to her brother's house. The eldest son was naturally unwilling to accept it, and the two families had a quarrel. In the end, they threw Grandma into the ravine and left her to fend for herself.

Liu Dabao was furious when he heard this, and he immediately decided to go to Grandma's sons to reason. Although Grandma was a little worried, she knew that Liu Dabao was a kind person, so she agreed to his proposal. Liu Dabao bought a few pairs of medicines and walked towards Lijiazhai with his grandmother on his back.

Under the guidance of Grandma, Liu Dabao soon found the home of Grandma's youngest son. He explained his intention to the other party, but he didn't expect the other party's reaction to be very violent. The little daughter-in-law asked Liu Dabao why he was meddling in his affairs, and accused his grandmother of being a drag. Liu Dabao retorted rhetorically: "There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure." How can you throw the old man away? ”

The little daughter-in-law was so angry by Liu Dabao's words that she scolded her mother, she accused Liu Dabao of standing and talking without backache, and she didn't know how much food and medicine her grandmother could eat in a year. There were more and more spectators around, and everyone accused the family of unfilial piety. Seeing that the situation was not good, Grandma's youngest son hurriedly whispered a few words in the woman's ear. The woman's eyes lit up, and her attitude immediately became respectful. She took Grandma's hand, apologized repeatedly, and said that she would take good care of her in the future.

Liu Dabao saw that the other party could know his mistakes and change them, so he no longer pursued them. He carried his grandmother into the house, and after putting it down, he didn't forget to say a few words. Grandma was grateful and thanked her repeatedly. Liu Dabao waved his hand, indicating that this was just a little bit of his mind. Subsequently, he turned around and left Lijiazhai and continued his life.
