Lao Sun's son couldn't have children, so for the sake of face, he asked his daughter-in-law to find someone to "help".
The old grandson next door to our family is famous for his shrewd mind, and the people in the village call him "Sun Abacus". His son, Sun Long, also has a resounding nickname, called "Eight Sage Kings". Not because he had any aristocratic temperament, but because Sun Long had a well-known secret - his son was not his own, and everyone in the village laughed at him for becoming a "king eight".
Sun Abacus used to be the accountant of the village, and in the past few years, he not only made a lot of money, but also took the common forest farm in the village as his own. Although everyone knows about him, no evidence can be found. He likes to say: "If you don't pick it up on the road, you will lose it", and even if he encounters donkey dung and eggs, he will kick them into his own field.
Sun Abacus is good at winning over rich people, but he always looks down on those who are worse than him, even if he has never offended him, he will not hesitate to step on it. Our family's dry land is adjacent to his house, and he always uses his family's power to secretly occupy some more of our territory every year, and even if my father asks him for a theory, he will not admit it.
His family's vegetable garden was planted with corn to be sold, and when it was time to harvest the vegetables in the summer, he would pick a cucumber in the east and a handful of beans in the west, without even notifying him. There are many such things, and the villagers simply hate him and curse him for cutting off his children and grandchildren, but they didn't expect this to become a reality.
Sun Abacus's son Sun Long is also a domineering guy, he has been unreasonable since he was a child, stealing chickens and dogs all day long, and Sun Abacus not only does not discipline him well, but also praises him for what he does. When he reached the age of starting a family, he married the daughter of an excavator in the next village. This girl is beautiful, has a gentle personality, and has a good family background, but marrying Sun Long is really a waste.
After three or four years, the girl never got pregnant, and it was rumored that she had problems with uterine development and was unable to have children. Two years later, the girl suddenly became pregnant, and everyone in the village was surprised, but a big riot ensued - Sun Long beat the girl drunk, shouting "dare to cuckold Lao Tzu" while beating. The girl went back to her parents' house angrily, and the next day a group of people came to her mother's house, beating gongs and drums to tell the truth of the matter.
It turned out that the person who couldn't have children was Sun Long, and the people in the village had already guessed that they had been talking about the Sun family. Some people even ran to ask Sun Long: "You are a fortune teller, don't you know when you will have children?"”
For the sake of Sun Long's face, the girl has been suffering grievances and stigma. But Sun Long couldn't stand the ridicule of others, so he suggested that his wife find someone to "borrow seeds" to maintain the dignity of the family and leave offspring. Sun Long's proposal was tacitly approved by his wife.
The girl was persuaded by Sun Long to "borrow seeds", and only confessed to her mother's family after she became pregnant. The mother's family was already dissatisfied with the girl's decision, and Sun Long's attitude towards her daughter had changed, and they were even more angry - they were worried that Sun Long might treat her again in the future.
Therefore, they decided to make the facts public just in case. The girl and Sun Long divorced, the child was also killed, and this relationship was severed.
Sun Long got married again after a little more than a month, and in less than 8 months, the newlyweds welcomed a son. Sun Long sometimes triumphantly, saying that their grandson family has a descendant, and his grandson will definitely inherit the family business; But sometimes he scolded the former family, accusing them of ruining the reputation of the Sun family.
The people in the village tacitly congratulated Sun Long on having a grandson on the surface, but in private they all ridiculed him for not having children himself, but he had to raise other people's children.
Sun Long suffered a loss in face, but became more stable, no longer arrogant, and more polite and amiable to people. He was willing to help the people in his neighborhood and took the initiative to lend a hand.
The people in the village believe that now not only is the grandson not Sun Long's, but even the grandson is not like him. But seeing Sun Long's changes, they no longer laughed at Sun Long.
It is said that Sun Long became more and more confused, and sometimes after drinking, he would keep saying: "It doesn't matter whose seed he is, whose pen the calf is born in, it is whose seed!" "However, whether it is a cow or a man, no one can say.
Sun Long has been calculating all his life, but the people in the village still disdain, they all hope that he will be unlucky. On the contrary, Sun Long has become more and more practical over the years, and everyone respects him very much, although he doesn't say it, he admires him in his heart.
To sum up, it is better to do more good deeds than to calculate, so that you can gain the respect of others.
