The Father's Love of the Duty Farmer" In Chaoyang County, Guangdong, there is a farmer named Chen Zhi. His life was ordinary and hardworking, nourishing a land with his blood and sweat, and raising two sons - Chen Ming and Chen Ding.
They grew up together, studied together, farmed together, and shared the burden of the family. Chen Zhi was old, he gritted his teeth and married a daughter-in-law for his two sons.
He believes that his responsibility is to pave the way for his son's future. His dedication may seem simple, but it takes a lifetime of effort. His efforts were not in vain, and both sons were married and began their journey in life.
However, Chen Zhi's life came to an end, and he left behind seven acres of thin fields. His two sons began to fight over the fields after their father's death. Disputes over property are common in ancient and modern times, and can even lead to brothers turning against each other.
Although Chen Zhi's life is ordinary, he interprets the greatness of father's love with his actions. He paved the way for his son with his own efforts, and he left a legacy for his son with his sacrifice.
His love is selfless, and his giving is unrepentant. He is one of the most ordinary but great people in our lives.
The brothers Chen Ming and Chen Ding had a dispute over seven acres of land, and the clansmen sent people to mediate in order to avoid the escalation of the conflict. As a result, the mediation not only did not reconcile the conflict between the two, but intensified their emotions, and the brothers almost fought in court.
In the end, both sides had to file a complaint with the Yamen. In court, Chen Ding took out his father's handwritten document to divide the family, making it clear that the seven acres of land should be owned by the eldest brother. But Chen Ming also took out his father's dying will to prove that the seven acres of land should be inherited by the second brother.
Both documents are genuine, but it is puzzling why Chen Zhi left two contradictory documents. In this brotherly dispute, Qing official Lan Dingyuan was deeply confused. He was originally an iron-faced and selfless clean official, but now he has fallen into a situation that is difficult to judge.
The two brothers quarreled endlessly in the court, without saying anything about their affection, as if they had become long-standing enemies. Lan Dingyuan felt very annoyed, he understood that the ownership of the seven acres of land was not important, what was important was the relationship between brothers.
However, the brothers went to court because of seven acres of land, which made him deeply regretful.
The wisdom of Lan Xianling lies in the fact that he educated his two brothers in a unique way. He told them that the land was a small matter, and that a dispute between brothers was a big thing. He asked them to split open their dead father's coffin with an axe, proving their love for their brother.
He taught them to be patient and tolerant by asking them to stretch out a leg and exert strength on each other. In this way, the Lan County Order made them understand that no matter what the relationship is, as long as it is between people, there will be some friction and contradictions, and the key lies in how we deal with and solve them.
His wisdom and approach are thought-provoking and deeply admirable for his noble qualities.
Lan Xianling's whimsical ideas When dealing with a land dispute case, Lan Xianling took an unusual approach in the face of two brothers who did not give in to each other. He did not let them go back and wait for news, but locked them up in the yamen and locked them together with a lock.
This decision forced the brothers, who were originally at a stalemate, to get in close contact, eat and live together, and even go to the toilet together. At first, they were all stubborn and didn't care about anyone.
However, as time went on, their relationship began to soften, recalling fond memories of working together as children. Eventually, the Blue County Order reopened the case and asked a strange question: whether they had any children.
Both brothers replied that there was, which gave Lan Xianling a new idea.
In a partial picture of "Gao Jianjiang Township Early Summer Picture Axis", Lan Xianling sighed thoughtfully: "Your father gave birth to two sons, which led to a property dispute between your brothers, and even a lawsuit, losing your brotherhood.
This is a very regrettable thing. However, the Blue County Order believes that this is not inevitable. He proposes a solution that may seem absurd but may be useful: ask the eldest Chen Ming to give up one son and leave only one; The second Chen Ding also had to give up a son and leave only one.
The two sons who were given up could be given to the beggars on the street, so that they could become the beggar's sons. In this way, even if the beggar died, they had no property to fight for, and the dispute between the brothers could be resolved.
Although the theory is distorted, it sounds plausible. When the two brothers heard this, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and wept and howled, indicating that they were willing to give up the land struggle and were willing to give up their land to each other.
If the other party is unwilling to accept it, they are willing to take the initiative to donate the land to the temple in Chaoyang County. The core idea of the new copy: ways to resolve property disputes between brothers, and the importance of brotherly friendship and family harmony.
At that time, the brothers said their heartfelt words to each other: "My brother is stupid and ignorant of righteousness, so let his benevolence be in vain." They realized that the brotherhood was real, and that the seven acres of land were just nothing.
Even if it doesn't matter who ends up in the hands of the land, if my father has a spirit in heaven, he must not want to see them now. The brothers came to their senses, and the Lan County Order was even higher.
He looked at their conscious appearances, but he kept a straight face and said to them, "How did you two brothers live? It was your father Chen Zhi's hard work in planting those seven acres of land, cultivating and harvesting, that you were raised.
Think of the old man's clumsy figure, think of your father's rough hands. That land was raised by the old man with a drop of sweat and a drop of blood, you say don't want it, is it worthy of the old father's spirit in the sky? ”
Lan County's words deeply touched them, and they lowered their heads one after another. Then the county decree said, "These seven acres of land shall be used as the sacrificial land of your father, and you will take turns to worship your father and your ancestors, and take turns to collect rent."
In this way, children and grandchildren will never have disputes over land again. "This man lives in heaven and earth, and he is as hurried as a passerby. A few acres of thin fields should not destroy the family relationship where blood is thicker than water.
In the long history, we quarrel, we suffer, we are greedy and naïve, may we finally gain sincerity and kindness. When the brothers heard this, they held their heads in agony, bowed their heads and bowed again, and went away rejoicing.
