In a certain place in Shanxi during the Song Dynasty, there was a family who had been farmers for generations and were not wealthy. They lived a miserable life. There were three people in the family, and the two husband and wife lived with a child. Although they were poor, they were still bland and happy, plowing a few acres of thin land and raising some livestock.
One evening, the husband and wife had just returned home from farming and were resting in the back room. They only heard the chickens outside the door seem frightened and continue to crow. At the same time, there was a dog barking, and the hostess hurriedly went out to check, only to see a pool of blood on the ground.
The weasel looked at the mistress, as if there were a hint of pleading in her eyes. The master couldn't bear it, and had heard that weasels had spiritual energy and couldn't harm them, so he drove the dog away.
Twenty years have passed.
The male host has passed away, and the son has grown up, and the family is still impoverished. Fortunately, the female host went through a lot of hardships and found many matchmakers to get a daughter-in-law for the child. The other party's family is as poor as Jingle, and the woman has no appearance, so it became this marriage.
Hoping to enjoy happiness in the future, I never thought that the daughter-in-law had only been through the door for a year, and there were many troubles. First, she disliked the poor family, and then she disliked the old mother-in-law for being useless. Every time the mistress thought of such a chance encounter, she had to cry secretly to avoid her son being caught in the middle.
One day, the daughter-in-law scolded her for no reason, saying that her mother-in-law was lazy. Unfortunately, the mistress had to go up the mountain to work with the farm tools. In the evening, the mistress could not help crying and was secretly sad when she remembered her deceased husband and what was happening now in the field.
At that time, I saw a beautiful woman walking by, dressed in yellow, and asked very politely, "Old man, why are you crying alone here when you are sad?" The hostess did not want to talk about what had happened at home, but she had a kind impression of the woman that couldn't be said. I just thought she was very kind, so I told her what happened. After listening to this, the woman couldn't help feeling the same way and said emotionally, so from now on, you should also enjoy happiness.
The hostess sighed and said, "How can there be any happiness to enjoy? The woman took two steps back and fell to the ground and said, "The benefactor remembers the weasel who stole her chicken ten years ago and was almost killed by the dog. The hostess stood up abruptly and said, "Could it be? The woman said, "Yes, I was the weasel back then, and you saved my life with kindness back then to have me today.
After hearing this, the hostess took two steps back and was inexplicably afraid. The woman said, "There is no need to be afraid, you can go home by yourself, and I have my own way to help you. Then he walked away.
After the hostess returned home, she suddenly went crazy and said, "I am a fairy." She also loudly asked her daughter-in-law why she was rude to her mother-in-law, and then took her life. The daughter-in-law thought her mother-in-law was a ghost, and she was so frightened that she trembled.
The next day, the hostess did not cry or make trouble, and was like a normal person, with a stern expression and few words. The daughter-in-law was even more afraid. There were many onlookers outside the door, and the hostess shouted in the room, so-and-so, so-and-so, meet inside. Everyone felt strange that the hostess knew the name of the person outside the door, so everyone said some lost items, asked where they were, and said it accurately. Everyone was curious.
The more the story spread, the more famous the hostess became, and even many outsiders came all the way to ask him to tell his fortune. In just one year, there was money to build a house on the spot, and buy countless fields, rent for others to cultivate, the daughter-in-law is even more close to her, really love and fear, and the days are getting more and more prosperous.
One night, the hostess had just gone to bed when the weasel-transformed woman came to her and said, "Now that the benefactor's family is living in harmony and worry-free, it's time for me to go. I don't know if I can meet again in the future. Please take care of yourself. The hostess couldn't help but cry, and the woman turned and left with tears in her eyes. The next day, the hostess put out a notice that she would no longer watch the fate of others.
Weasels know how to repay kindness, which is really admirable, and it also shows that good people think they are rewarded.
