During the Ming Dynasty, there was an old woman in Xiaojiatun, she had two daughters-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law was named Liu Xiangxiang, and the second daughter-in-law was named Yun Niang.
To say that these two daughters-in-law are good to their mother-in-law, but Yun Niang is more honest and simple, with a stupid mouth, not as sweet as Liu Xiangxiang, and will use all kinds of sweet words to please her mother-in-law.
So compared with the two daughters-in-law, the mother-in-law prefers the eldest daughter-in-law, Liu Xiangxiang.
This Liu Xiangxiang gave birth to a son, Yun Niang gave birth to a daughter, and on weekdays, the mother-in-law often helps the eldest daughter-in-law take care of the child.
Yun Niang wanted to work in the field, so she also wanted her mother-in-law to help take care of the children, but her mother-in-law refused her, saying that she was too tired to take care of two children, and her body couldn't stand it.
Helpless, Yun Niang could only carry her children to work in the fields every day.
It's okay if her mother-in-law doesn't help take care of the children, but she always asks Yun Niang to do it when she has a job, and never calls Liu Xiangxiang.
Yun Niang is generous, but she doesn't care about these things with her mother-in-law.
It was said that early this morning, Yun Niang was about to work in the field, and her mother-in-law hurriedly brought a piece of fabric and said that Yun Niang would quickly help her make a set of clothes, and go to relatives to wear them the next day.
This is not the first time that Yun Niang has helped her mother-in-law make clothes, she knows that her mother-in-law's eyes are not good, so every time she readily agrees to her mother-in-law, and this time is no exception.
In this way, Yun Niang did not go to work in the field, but spent a day helping her mother-in-law make clothes.
In the evening, she went to deliver clothes to her mother-in-law, and saw that her mother-in-law was busy stewing chicken in the stove room, so she said a few words, and she put down her clothes and turned away.
After a while, Yun Niang accidentally found that her mother-in-law was carrying a big bowl of chicken and sent it to her eldest daughter-in-law Liu Xiangxiang's house.
At that time, her heart was very uncomfortable, and she really felt a chill.
Despite this, but later her mother-in-law asked her to work, Yun Niang still would not refuse, she is such a kind and soft-hearted person.
However, in the winter when her daughter was nine years old, something happened, Yun Niang finally couldn't bear it anymore and quarreled with her mother-in-law.
On this day, the weather was very cold, Yun Niang went to the mountains to pick up firewood and came back late, and it was already dark when she arrived home.
When she walked to the door of the house, she saw a person squatting next to the door, and when she stepped forward to take a closer look, it was her daughter.
At this moment, I saw my daughter curled up by the door, and when I saw her come back, I immediately trembled and said in a trembling voice:"Mother, you're back, I'm about to freeze to death! "
The daughter didn't have the house key, but Yun Niang thought that when she came back from the school, she would go to her grandmother's house, so why wouldn't she stay at the door of the house and get cold, right?
But then I learned from my daughter that she had gone to her grandmother's house, and she also told her grandmother that her mother was not at home.
But after playing with my cousin for a while, I was kicked out by my grandmother, who said that it was ...... noisy
After listening to her daughter's words, and then looking at her daughter's shivering appearance from the cold, Yun Niang was really angry, so she immediately put down the firewood on her shoulder to find her mother-in-law, and went there to reason with her mother-in-law.
After experiencing this incident, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stopped talking when they met, no one cared about anyone, and the mother-in-law never asked Yun Niang to work again.
In this way, after three years, my mother-in-law was sick and paralyzed in bed, but who knew that the eldest daughter-in-law Liu Xiangxiang never came to the door again.
My father-in-law died early, and my two sons were working in a foreign country, and my paralyzed mother-in-law had no one to take care of her, crying and howling in the house from morning to night.
At this time, Yun Niang let go of her past grievances and took good care of her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law was very moved, always looking at Yun Niang with tears in her eyes, and muttered:"You are my mother's good daughter-in-law!
It's not good for my mother, I'm sorry for you! "
Every time I heard my mother-in-law say this, Yun Niang always smiled indifferently and said to her mother-in-law:"Mother!
Don't talk about this, your daughter-in-law should take care of you, you should take care of your illness! "
As soon as Yun Niang's words fell, her mother-in-law was always moved to tears.
In this way, Yun Niang took care of her mother-in-law for five years, and her mother-in-law died of illness five years later.
And said that after the death of her mother-in-law, Yun Niang put all her thoughts on farming, and she reclaimed several pieces of wasteland at the foot of the mountain, and since then she has been busy from morning to night all day long, although she is very tired, but the year's income is very satisfactory to her.
Over the past few years, the couple has saved a lot of silver taels, and their living standards have naturally improved.
But who knows, just when the family's life was getting more and more prosperous, her husband had an accident.
While working for his employer, he was accidentally hit by a rock falling from a high wall and died instantly.
In this way, Yun Niang became a widow, and although her employer compensated her a large sum of silver, Yun Niang was still devastated and heartbroken.
Since then, she has been depressed every day, and as long as she thinks of her husband, she will cry.
After three years, some relatives and friends began to persuade Yun Niang to remarry, after all, she is still young and can't live alone for the rest ......of her life
In the end, Yun Niang thought about it and felt that the words of relatives and friends were also reasonable, so there was a matchmaker to propose marriage, Yun Niang saw that this man was good-looking and very burly, although the family was poor, but Yun Niang didn't care about these, so she agreed to this family business.
In this way, the two are scheduled to get married in ten days.
In the days that followed, Yun Niang was busy every day, preparing wedding supplies.
It is said that on the fifth day after the engagement, Yun Niang came back from the market, and suddenly found that the cow tied to the door had broken free from the reins and ran away.
For a while, Yun Niang looked for cattle everywhere regardless of the ground, but she searched all over the village and outside the village, and she couldn't find it until it was dark.
Yun Niang was anxious to shed tears, and then she could only report to the official.
However, what she didn't expect was that in the middle of the night, Yun Niang had just fallen asleep in a daze, and she actually dreamed of her deceased mother-in-law.
In the dream, I saw my mother-in-law say to her anxiously"Hurry up, get up and go to the graveyard! "
After the mother-in-law said this, Yun Niang was violently agitated and woke up from her sleep. After that, she recalled this strange dream and couldn't help muttering in her heart:"In the middle of the night, why did my mother-in-law ask me to go to the cemetery in my dream? "
At first, she didn't take it seriously, she turned over and wanted to go back to sleep, but then she suddenly remembered her lost cow, so she suddenly became energetic, then sat up, and said to herself:"Could it be that my cow is in the graveyard at this time?
That's why my mother-in-law gave me a dream and asked me to go to the cemetery? "
Thinking so, Yun Niang hurriedly got dressed, and then ran straight towards the cemetery.
The moon was round and big that night, and the moonlight shone on the earth like day.
Yun Niang was so focused on the cow that she didn't care about being afraid.
She ran to the edge of the graveyard in one go, and as far as the eye could see, there was not even a shadow of a cow in the whole graveyard.
For a while, Yun Niang was so tired that she was panting, and she felt lost in her heart, and then she sighed and wanted to turn around and walk back.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, she suddenly heard a burst of laughter from men and women on the side of a bridge not far away.
Suddenly, Yun Niang was shocked, and then she heard a familiar man's voice:"The person I really love is you, marrying that Yun Niang is just using her to pay off my debts, and when I finish paying off my debts, I will dump her, and then marry you ......"
The words fell, and then a woman's delicate voice came:"Liu Lang, you must be a word when you speak!
I'm waiting for you to ......"
Hearing this, Yun Niang's heart seemed to be pierced by a needle, she never thought that this man was her fiancé, Liu Lang.
Seeing that the two were about to get married, Liu Lang would do such a thing, Yun Niang never thought that Liu Lang would be this kind of person, it was simply too hateful.
After that, she was stunned for a moment, and did not come forward to question, but turned around and went home in despair.
In the end, the wedding of the two was canceled, Yun Niang did not marry this hateful Liu Lang, she couldn't help but feel deeply lucky, and deeply thanked her mother-in-law in her heart.
If it weren't for her mother-in-law's dream and her going to the cemetery in the middle of the night, how could she have discovered this secret?
Learn the true face of Liu Lang?
I don't know Liu Lang's true face, so I married him in a daze, didn't I jump into the fire pit?
Thinking like this, Yun Niang's intuition was warm, and she was extremely relieved to think that everything she had paid to her mother-in-law before her mother-in-law was alive.
Later, her family's cattle were also found.
After the news spread, everyone said that Yun Niang is a good retribution, and kind people will always turn evil into good fortune when they encounter trouble, as if God is helping her!
If she hadn't lost her cow that day, even if her mother-in-law had given her a dream and asked her to go to the cemetery in the middle of the night, she might not have been able to go!
Thinking about this series of things, it's really like that!
Yun Niang is broad-minded, and she would rather suffer losses in everything than care.
So in the end, she was moved by her mother-in-law, and after her mother-in-law died, she would give her a dream, so she did not marry Liu Lang, and it can be said that she escaped a catastrophe.
It can be seen that suffering a loss is a blessing, and there is still some truth in this statement. No matter what you say, you just have to be kind, just leave the rest to God, and eventually you will find that God will not treat you badly!
