Once upon a time there was a man named Ah Zhao, who made many friends who drank and drank wine and meat, and played with each other. He thought these friends were reliable, so he looked down on the neighbors in the stronghold. Ah Zhao's mother-in-law got along well with the neighbors and always helped each other when they had anything to do. The couple often quarreled over making friends.

Once, a house on the stronghold caught fire, and the mother-in-law asked him to go to put out the fire together. He was about to meet his friends with wine and meat, and called the mother-in-law to go first, but he quietly left. Later, the mother-in-law asked him in a reproachful tone: "Why don't you put out the fire?" He said: "What can you earn by helping these people in the stronghold!" The mother-in-law said: "Money is like dung, and benevolence and righteousness are worth thousands of dollars. If you don't save others from disaster, you will come to help if you are in trouble!" Ah Zhao sneered and said: "I have so many buddies, what are you afraid of!" The mother-in-law said: "These buddies of yours are all hungry for wine and meat, and I am afraid that they may not be reliable." Ah Zhao no longer answered, angrily swinging his fists to fight, and the docile mother-in-law

One day, Ah Zhao celebrated his birthday and invited friends who drank wine and meat, killed chickens, slaughtered fish, and ate and drank a lot. Some friends praised Ah Zhao as a good person and were willing to follow him up the mountain of knives and into the sea of fire; some friends raised a glass to wish Ah Zhao a long life and all the best. Ah Zhao was so happy that he kept clinking glasses and drinking. At this time, Ah Zhao's mother-in-law stumbled upstairs and said, "Guys, it's not good, it's a big disaster, and there are headless dead people downstairs." The guests all stood up and threw their cups and bowls, very frightened. One of the guests suspected that the hostess was mistaken, and said to everyone, "Let's go and take a look! When everyone came to the wooden building, they saw a corpse half hidden and half exposed in the dark corner by the cattle stable.

The body was wrapped in a large piece of old white cloth, half of the white cloth was soaked in blood, and a pool of blood was by the gate. The guests were all flustered and dared not come forward. Some were scared into cold sweats and quickly retreated. Ah Zhao's face turned blue in panic, and he begged the guys, "Everyone, come up with an idea to get rid of this scourge for me." Guys, you push me. A guy said slowly, "It's easy to help the silver and help the rice, but we can't help the big things that matter!" A guy went on to say, "There is wine and meat that fill the intestines together, and everyone is responsible for the disaster. As soon as the man's voice fell, the wine and meat friends dispersed and ran out of the gate. There were only husband and wife left by the cattle stable, and it was very deserted. Ah Zhao, who always talked big, was angry and afraid, and only beat his chest and feet.

It was still the mother-in-law who said to him in a calm tone: "Don't panic, go to the neighbors to discuss it!Ah Zhao hesitantly said, "I'm afraid they won't come if I shout. The mother-in-law gently persuaded: "You can try it, they won't necessarily be so cruel! Sure enough, although Ah Zhao usually doesn't get along with the neighbors, when there is an urgent call, the neighbors all come running. The wood downstairs was suddenly full of people again, and everyone was anxious about Ah Zhao's house and came up with ideas. An old man said:" There must be a reason for taking the dead to your house to hide. If we intend to put the blame on others, we are willing to go to the government to testify. Now we have to open it and check it out. "

As soon as they said this, a few men gathered in and uncovered the cloth to see. Ah, it turned out to be a big yellow dog from the host's house. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all breathed a long sigh of relief. A Zhao also smiled in relief. People guessed that Mrs. A Zhao used this strategy to test friends of wine and meat, but they didn't say anything more and left. From then on, A Zhao no longer made friends with those friends of wine and meat, and he often worked and interacted with his neighbors, and got along very well.
