There was once a man named Jia Qing, who made a living by killing cattle and accumulated a lot of wealth through this industry. However, his character is very bad.
One day, Jia Qing was sitting under the willow tree to enjoy the shade when he saw an old farmer leading a sturdy buffalo over. Jia Qing was overjoyed in his heart, feeling that if this cow was slaughtered by him, he would definitely make a lot of money.
So, Jia Qing warmly invited the old farmer to lunch and tried to get the old farmer to stay and rest. After the old farmer excused himself, he was still moved by Jia Qing's hospitality. He tied the ox under the tree and entered Jia Qing's house. Jia Qing prepared a sumptuous lunch and wine for the old farmer, and the two talked while eating. Unconsciously, the old farmer was already a little drunk, so Jia Qing put him in bed for a nap. At this time, Jia Qing quietly came to the willow tree and nailed the cow's hooves with nails, so that the cow could not move.
After a while, Jia Qing woke up the old farmer and persuaded him to go home. When the old farmer got up to fetch the oxen, he found that the oxen could not move their feet no matter what. He beat the ox with a whip, but the ox only wailed and wept in agony. The old peasant was anxious, helpless, and felt very embarrassed.
Jia Qing pretended to be concerned and asked about the cow's condition, and then suggested that a cow doctor be brought in. He sent a shepherd boy to the cow doctor, and soon the cow doctor arrived. Jia Qing hinted at how the cow doctor should perform, so the cow doctor pretended to examine it, and then announced that the cow was hopeless and destined not to live long.
The old farmer wept bitterly because he had planned to sell his cattle to pay off his debts. Jia Qing pretended to comfort him and bought the dying cow at a low price. The old farmer had no choice but to accept it. When the old farmer returned home, he sold his house and land, and then scraped together the money from the cattle to pay off his debts.
Just as he was lamenting how to spend his days in the future, something unexpected happened, and the old cow in the family, who had been emaciated, suddenly regained his vitality and grew stronger day by day. Happily, he successfully mated with a bull and gave birth to a healthy calf. It was as if it was a gift from heaven that filled his life with hope again.
The calves are also competitive, and they are raised to be fat and strong, and under the training of the old cows, they can plow 50 acres of land a day. The neighbors were very envious and came here to rent cattle.
After a year of hard work, the calf brought a good income to the old farmer and earned him a lot of silver taels. With the money, the old farmer began to improve his life, he built a new house, bought a field, and gradually became richer. The hard work of the calf has made the life of the old farmer better and better, and they have witnessed the power of hard work to get rich.
There are unforeseen circumstances, and suddenly one day, the usually gentle calf seems to be swept away by the wind, and becomes unruly and stubborn. No matter how the old peasant shouted, it remained indifferent, as if an irresistible force was holding it back. In desperation, the old farmer had no choice but to tie the calf's right front hoof and right hind hoof to two stumps respectively, so as to ** this wild little guy. He then called in a cow doctor to find out what was wrong and restore the calf's composure.
Unexpectedly, when the calf was being treated, the calf was furious, and hit the cow doctor head-on, breaking free from the rope of the right front hoof and trying to rush out. Seeing that his right body was about to break free, the old farmer was afraid of hurting people again, so he hurriedly picked up a knife and slammed it on the cow's neck, causing the calf to fall to the ground and let out a whining wail. Looking at the cow doctor again, it was like his ribs were broken, and it hurt to grin his teeth. He groaned and said intermittently, "Retribution, retribution."
The old farmer couldn't help but ask the cow doctor why he said this. Doctor Niu recounted his experience and believed that this was his retribution for aiding in the abuse.
After the old farmer left, Jia Qing immediately took action, he cut off the head of the cow, scraped it on the tree, cleaned the cow's body, and then separated the beef and offal. After lunch, he sat under a tree boasting about his means and proudly talked about how he made his fortune. He prides himself on his intelligence and skill, which he believes is the reason for his success.
Just when Jia Qing was sitting under the tree hanging the cow's head, complacent, he suddenly felt a little itchy on the back of his neck, so he picked up the cattle slaughtering knife and scraped it. At this moment, a strong wind blew, the rope broke, and the bull's head fell and smashed right on Jia Qing's knife. The cattle slaughtering knife was unusually sharp, and Jia Qing's head immediately rolled to the ground, blood splattering all around. The neighbors were frightened by this scene, and they thought that it was a cow manifestation and came to ask Jia Qing for his life.
Jia Qing's greed and malice eventually led to his tragic end. Because of his encounter with Jia Qing, the old farmer went through a difficult period and finally succeeded in getting out of the predicament through his own diligence and wisdom. This story teaches us that greed and deception will only bring their own destruction, and that kindness and hard work are the true paths that can bring happiness and success.
I hope that everyone can learn from this story, cherish the happiness in front of them, insist on honesty and kindness, and strive to pursue their dreams. Only in this way can we truly live a happy life. Story Micro Headlines Incentive Program Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law I'm going to be on Micro Headlines Adapted from folk tales
