This is a story that has been widely circulated in southwest Lu.
Yangliu Village is located on the north bank of a big river, in fact, Yangliu Village was not called this name at first, because there are many big poplars and big willow trees on the river embankment, and the pedestrians passing by in summer are tired, they like to rest under these big poplars and big willow trees, and after a long time, people are used to calling the village Yangliu Village.
There is a family surnamed Wang in the village, the parents died early, only two brothers and sisters, the two depend on each other, when they grow up, the elder brother Wang Haosi married his daughter-in-law, and his sister also married. Because Wang Haosi's brother and sister have suffered since childhood, after getting married and starting a family, they endured hardships and lived a good life.
Wang Haosi knows carpentry skills, and during the slack period, he goes from house to house to make furniture for the villagers and earns some pocket money to subsidize the family. Leaving the daughter-in-law and children at home.
There is a temple about three miles northeast of Yangliu Village, and there are several monks in the temple. Among them, there is a monk named Wuyuan who has a good relationship with Wang Haosi and has many contacts.
Sometimes Wang Haosi also invited the monks to his home, took them a vegetarian meal, and then gave them some things. After coming and going, the relationship between Wang Haosi and Wuyuan became closer, and Wuyuan became a frequent visitor to Wang Haosi's house.
Wang Haosi often went out to do carpentry work in his spare time, and sometimes he went out for a long time, and he couldn't go home often when he lived too much.
In the days when he was out, Monk Wuyuan and Wang Haosi's wife Li had an adulterous affair.
Wang Haosi came back from work and got some rumors about his wife and monk Wuyuan from the people in the village. At first, he didn't take it to heart, a monk has a good relationship with him, and when he is not at home, it is normal to come to the house once or twice. I can't distrust my wife and friends because of other people's gossip.
But once his son said to him, "When you are not at home, the monks who often come to our house have stayed in our house." Hearing his son say this, he didn't want his son to know about adults. He criticized his son and said that children should not talk nonsense. My son said, I didn't talk nonsense, but once I got up at night to pee and heard the monk talking to his mother. He told his son not to tell anyone about it, but to remember it.
Although it is a child's words, his son's words made Wang Haosi have a deep grudge against Wuyuan monk and his wife.
As the saying goes, catch a thief and catch a stolen goods, and catch a double. On one side is his wife, and on the other side is a good friend. You don't have evidence, and you can't rely on suspicion alone. That was unlikely, he thought. It is impossible for a wife to betray herself, and it is impossible for her friends to do such a thing to be sorry for herself.
Although he comforted himself like this, the knots in his heart have not been unraveled. He decided not to go out to do carpentry anytime this year, and just stayed at home. This family can't be separated, because he has paid too much for this family, and his son has gradually grown up.
This summer, his sister came to ask him to do some work and ask his brother to make some furniture for their house. My brother said that it is okay to make furniture for you, but you have to ask your brother-in-law to send me your wood, and I will not go out to work this year.
My sister said, what's wrong? We'll send it back to you, and when it's done, we'll have to pull it back, how troublesome is it? Again, I still want my family to give you a beating, you teach him, if he lives a lot, he can also follow you out to earn a melon or two dates.
Wang Haosi said to his sister, my sister doesn't know, you are not an outsider, and it doesn't hurt to tell you these words. There are some rumors about your sister-in-law and monk Wuyuan. I didn't catch any evidence either, and I didn't feel at ease when I went out.
When his sister heard her brother say this, she stopped talking, and after thinking for a while, she said, I have a way to make my sister-in-law tell the truth, can I try it? Wang Haosi said, what good way do you have? I haven't figured out a good idea. It doesn't hurt if you have a good way to try it.
My sister said, "Okay." Just listen to me.
So, his sister stayed, and his sister-in-law talked about everything. One evening, Wang Haosi's sister said, "Sister-in-law, let's go to the river to wash clothes." My sister-in-law said yes. The two sisters-in-law took the clothes to be washed, and came to the river with a smile and a smile.
They found a suitable place and put their clothes near the water. At this time, it was found that due to the hot weather, some men from the nearby villages, as well as several monks in the temple, were bathing upstream.
Wang Haosi's sister carefully observed her sister-in-law's movements, and she found that her sister-in-law was washing clothes, and from time to time she looked at the man who was taking a bath, her eyes were erratic, as if she was looking for something?
Just as the sister-in-law looked at the group of men taking a bath, Wang Haosi's sister suddenly shouted, sister-in-law, what are you looking at? Her sister-in-law came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "What didn't I see?" I'm doing laundry!
The sister-in-law said, sister-in-law, let me ask you a question. "What's the problem? Sister, please speak. Her sister-in-law replied.
Sister-in-law, I heard people say that those monks are different from ordinary men, their lower bodies are square, not round? My sister asked.
My sister doesn't understand, it's the same as the average man's, and it's all round, but it's harder than the average man's. The sister-in-law said without thinking.
But as soon as these words came out, my sister-in-law immediately realized that she had leaked her mouth. His face turned red to the base of his ears.
Wang Haosi's sister immediately understood everything when she heard her sister-in-law say such a thing, and she glared at her sister-in-law very sternly. The sister-in-law knew that she was wrong, so she hurriedly lowered her head.
My sister accentuated her tone and said, "Sister-in-law, do you know why my brother doesn't go out to work?" The sister-in-law only lowered her head to wash her clothes and did not speak.
My sister said according to the situation: "Sister-in-law, I am also a woman, and women know the difficulties of women. I don't blame you for this, but you must change it in the future, you can't do it again, if you don't change it, your end will be sad, and my brother will definitely divorce you. You don't think about yourself, you have to think about my little nephew. ”
After listening to her sister, the sister-in-law slowly raised her head and said softly: "I have long seen your brother's thoughts, but I did make a mistake, and I couldn't find a suitable opportunity to admit my mistake to him for a while." I was wrong, I don't know if your brother can forgive me. I'll definitely change it. Please trust me, sister. ”
My sister said: I believe in you, but you must change. I can only save you this once. It's up to you from now on.
My sister-in-law swore that I would change it, so please rest assured that my sister would do it.
After washing the clothes, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law returned home talking and laughing, and the sister-in-law and sister dried up the washed clothes. Then, they both came to the kitchen to make dinner.
The next day, my sister told my brother that my sister-in-law was a good person, and you should stop doubting her. Even if something happens, you believe she will change it. If you make a mistake, you must give it a chance, you say it's not a brother. Our brother and sister depend on each other, you often go out, your sister-in-law is alone with her little nephew, and it is not easy for a woman's family. Now that we are all married and have started a business, life is still okay, which is the envy of many people, and we must continue to live such a good life.
Wang Haosi heard his sister say this, and everything understood. He said to his sister, "Okay, I'll listen to my sister." Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great.
When my sister heard her brother say this, she was also relieved. She said, what I want is my brother's words, and it is not easy for my sister-in-law. I'll bring the wood with my brother-in-law tomorrow, and you can make the furniture for us."
The elder brother nodded. Say: Okay.
The younger sister wittily resolved the matter of her sister-in-law's cheating on the monk, and resolved the family conflict between her brother and sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law never had contact with the monk again, and the family lived a happy life.
