There was a man named Zhu Zi in Dongshan Village. When he was young, he had a fever and took the wrong medicine. After he recovered from his illness, his intelligence was a little inferior to ordinary people. When he reached school age, he was sent to school for half a month, but finally he was sent back by the school because of his intellectual problems. Zhu Zi's parents did not send their children to school anymore. Both of them were illiterate, so naturally they couldn't teach their children anything.

Not to mention, fools have fools. This winter, Zhu Zi followed his parents to dig ditches, digging and digging, and suddenly heard a bang, and the pickaxe broke something in the soil. Zhu Zi's father ran over to take a look, hurriedly took off his jacket, wrapped the thing like a treasure, and carried it home. Nearby there were sharp-eyed villagers who said that Zhu Zi's father took away a jar, which was full of white flowers and silver circles. Zhu Zi's father kept it a secret, so people went to ask Zhu Zi. Zhu Zi didn't say anything, he just shook his head with a silly smile, and the person who asked said, "Look, it must be a treasure, his parents won't let Zhu Zi say it!"

News that the treasure had been dug out of the pillar spread nearby.

A few more years have passed. On the winter solstice this year, the people of Dongshan Village all went to the town for the ancient meeting. When they returned in the evening, Zhu Zi and the village aunts walked in front, and Zhu Zi picked up a burden and followed behind. As they walked, Zhu Zi suddenly shouted, "Mother, I picked up a wallet!" Everyone turned around and saw that Zhu Zi was really holding a wallet in her hand and was fiddling with it. Seeing this, Zhu Zi ran over and grabbed it, and scolded, "I found an empty wallet and shouted, "Go, go home quickly!"

This time, I found a wallet in full view of everyone, and I can't say it if I don't admit it. There are thousands of people selling goods and rushing to the ancient fair in Dongshan Village, and it must be some daredevil who lost his wallet. The next day, as soon as Zhu Zi went out, several people in the village stopped him, and one of them, Monkey Three, handed him a cigarette: "Zhu Zi come, smoke one!" "If you don't smoke, I won't!" "What's wrong with smoking? You're such a big person, come, smoke one!" The people next to you followed and booed. There was no way, Zhu Zi had to take one, and only took a puff, immediately choked and burst into tears. After he had wiped away his tears, Monkey Three handed him another handful of peanuts and said, "Pillar, I smoked my brother's cigarette. Brother asked you something, you have to tell the truth." "What's the matter?" Pillar peeled a peanut and stuffed it into his mouth. "Do you have this in the wallet you picked up yesterday?" Monkey Three showed a hundred-dollar bill, Pillar glanced at it, nodded and shook his head, saying, "It's a bit like it and a bit like it. Anyway, it's similar to this." Someone next to him interjected and said, "It seems that he can't be wrong, and he doesn't recognize the money for the pillar." Monkey Three asked again, "Are they all exactly the same?" Pillar nodded. Monkey Three hurriedly asked again, "How much? Compare with us all!" The pillar gestured the thickness with two fingers, and the onlookers took a look and took a breath. Obediently, according to the pillar gestures, at least 5,000 yuan! Everyone immediately showed an envious look, and the third monkey slipped out of the crowd after asking.

It turned out that Monkey Three was the son of Mrs. Liu, the big matchmaker in the village. After he heard with his own ears that the pillar had picked up so much money, he hurried back home and pulled the old lady over and said, "Mother, it's a good thing to make money!" "What's a good thing, tell my mother to listen to it!" Mrs. Liu left her work behind and her eyes lit up. As soon as Monkey Three picked up 5,000 yuan of money from the pillar, Mrs. Liu didn't understand: "Alas, this is a good thing for others, and it has nothing to do with us!" "Why can't it get on? Think about it, this pillar is already 20 years old, should it be time to say kiss? It's hard to find a daughter-in-law these days, not to mention he's still a fool! If you go and say goodbye to him, can his mother not give us a generous gift?" "Yes!" Madam Liu patted her leg hard, "If you make a little move, mother will understand everything, then I will go to his house tomorrow and give him a good beating!" Who knew Monkey Three shook his head: "How much can you kill in one meal? I have already calculated, isn't my cousin Xiaodie determined to find a rich family? This pillar is the master of silver circles and treasures, and the fat does not flow out of the outsider's field. You introduce my cousin to the pillar. If this is successful, we will not be able to get a lot of credit in the future. If my cousin doesn't agree, it's not too late for you to replace him with someone else." When Madam Liu heard that, her eyes narrowed into slits: "You say that, my mother also has an idea. Your cousin is a big girl, and there is another girl named Xiaomei in my mother's hands, who is a divorced owner. When I introduce her, I will also count Xiaomei and let Zhu Zi's family choose by themselves. This is right, his family will choose the big girl! "The more Mrs. Liu said, the more excited she was, she clapped her hands:" This is really a good deal to make money! I will go to Zhu Zi's house now! "

Madam Liu ran to Zhu Zi's house in a hurry. After hearing her intention, Zhu Zi quickly served her as a guest. Zhu Zi had no brothers and sisters, and after two hundred years of return, she didn't even have a person to take care of her, so Zhu Zi dreamed that Zhu Zi could say that she had a daughter-in-law. Today was a good day, and the matchmaker took the initiative to come to the door. Zhu Zi was so happy that tears fell.

Madam Liu took Zhu Ziniang's hand: "His aunt, seeing that Zhu Ziniang has grown up, we can't delay him in this marriage matter. He is my eldest nephew at least. Although he is a little flawed, he is honest and lucky. I have always been looking for him! But it is not easy to be a daughter-in-law these days, we are willing to spend flowers as flowers!" Zhu Ziniang hurriedly said: "Look at what you said, this flower will definitely be willing to spend, when can we find a suitable one, please bother!" Madam Liu laughed: "Actually, I have two suitable ones in my hands now, but I haven't told the woman yet. Seeing that you are in such a hurry, then I will make arrangements as soon as possible, and I will give you a letter in two days. At that time, I will take you and Zhu Zi to have a look first, and see which one you like. If the other party agrees, I will arrange a meeting between the two parties. "

In less than a week, Madam Liu sent a letter asking Zhu Ziniang to bring Zhu Ziniang to the town. That day, when the town met, Madam Liu took the two of them to a clothing store first. Madam Liu pointed to a girl who was picking out clothes and said, "See, she is a little butterfly, and she is so watery!" Zhu Ziniang looked at it and saw that the girl really looked like a flower. But how can Zhu Ziniang be worthy of such a person? Let's take a look at the next one. Madam Liu took the two of them to a sewing shop and said, "You can just take a look at this woman. She is a divorced woman named Xiaomei, and she works as a small worker in this shop every day." When Zhu Ziniang looked at it, this woman was really speechless, and she didn't know why she got divorced. Both are beautiful women, and Zhu Ziniang is a little weak. Madam Liu said, why don't you let Zhu Zi choose for herself? Zhu Ziniang asked Zhu Zi which one she liked, and Zhu Zi said, "I only like this sister in front of me." When Madam Liu heard this, she quickly said, "This is a divorced woman!" Zhu Zi said that she liked it. Seeing that it was broken, Madam Liu hurriedly persuaded Zhu Ziniang: "His aunt, I think the big girl in front is the first choice. Why don't I go back and ask Xiao Die first? If she agrees, you two can meet before making a decision, how about that?" Zhu Ziniang agreed as soon as she heard it. The next day, Madam Liu sent a letter saying that after her busy work, Xiao Die promised to meet Zhu Zi tomorrow, at Zhu Zi's house. Zhu Zi was overjoyed and said a lot of thanks. After that, she got busy killing chickens and catching ducks.

The next day, Madam Liu came with Little Butterfly. Little Butterfly, who had been deliberately dressed, looked even more handsome than that day. The pillar girl quietly pulled Madam Liu aside: "This girl's condition is so good, how can she look at our pillar?" Madam Liu said: "Don't worry about this. I have told Little Butterfly about the pillar, and she has no opinion. Hey, where is the pillar person? Call him out!"

The girl looked at the pillar twice from head to toe, and saw that the pillar really stood there motionless like a pillar, and smiled. Granny Liu was at the side: "Did you see that, Xiaodie laughed so happily!" She turned around and asked Xiaodie, "Xiaodie, this pillar is a person with a lucky face, right? Xiaodie nodded with a smile.

When Zhu Zi's mother saw that Xiao Die really agreed, she couldn't close her mouth with joy. She quickly took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Xiao Die's hand, saying, "Daughter, since you have no problem with Zhu Zi, then accept this gift. Tomorrow, Zhu Zi's father and I will go to your house to discuss with your parents, and choose a day in the year to hold the wedding event, how about it?" Xiao Die accepted the red envelope with a smile, but said, "How can we get married so quickly? We are still young, and I want to take Zhu Zi out to break through. Didn't Zhu Zi find the money? I want to take it out to do some business..." When Zhu Zi heard this, the smile on her face froze: "Daughter, it's almost Chinese New Year, what are you going out for? Why don't we do this happy event first, and talk about it after the New Year... "However, Xiao Die refused to agree, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward. When Madam Liu saw it, she hurriedly played round:" His aunt, why don't you just rely on Xiao Xiao first, anyway... "" Needless to say! "Zhu Ziniang cut off Madam Liu's words," I don't know how much this business costs, I still don't know? The family can't take it out! "When Xiao Die saw it, she took out the red envelope and fell it on the table," hummed ", got up and left.

Marriage is so yellow. The villagers all said that this little butterfly is not the one who likes Zhu Zi, it is clearly his money. Some people said that this girl did not plan to marry Zhu Zi at all, she just planned to cheat Zhu Zi's money.

Seeing that the marriage had turned sour, Zhu Zi comforted and said, "Mother, don't be sad, in fact, I don't like the one in front of me, I only like the part-time worker. If she doesn't work, don't look for me again, so as not to make you sad all the time." Zhu Zi's mother stared: "Shut up, it's not up to you to decide this matter!"

A few days passed, but Madam Liu did not arrange for Zhu Zi and Xiaomei to meet. Zhu Zi and Mother were anxious, so they found Madam Liu's house. Madam Liu said slowly: "Alas, Xiao Die is so nice and you don't agree, but you choose a divorced one. Zhu Zi, you really..." Madam Liu swallowed the "stupid" word back forcefully, "Okay, okay, I'll arrange it for you, but if this doesn't work, it will be a waste of time again..." "His aunt, you arrange it, if it doesn't work, thank you!" When Madam Liu heard this, her attitude changed: "Really don't dislike being a divorced person?" Zhu Ziniang said, "My Zhu Zi is also a defective person. It's okay to be divorced, as long as you live in peace of mind, we don't dislike it. But I want to know what's going on with this woman?" Mrs. Liu said, "This Xiaomei, in terms of character, I really don't have to say it. She is two years older than Zhu Zi. Her original man was not a mess, he gambled outside all day, lost all her dowry, and found a rich woman outside, and when she came back, she got a divorce. Alas, pity this Xiaomei, who is capable and virtuous, but met such a Dou."

Soon, Madam Liu arranged for the two sides to meet. As soon as Zhu Ziniang saw Xiaomei, she felt a sense of intimacy, and when she looked at it carefully, she was even more beautiful than that little butterfly, and her heart was a little drummed. "Daughter, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Aunt Liu introduced one to Zhu Zi before, but my family was poor and couldn't come up with any money, so it didn't work out. I heard Aunt Liu say that you are good at everything, and when I saw it today, I liked it even more, but I can't hide it from you..." Before she finished speaking, Xiaomei blushed and said, "Auntie, this external thing is not important, I just want to be good at people. I want to talk to Zhu Zi and get to know him." When Zhu Ziniang heard that, she hurriedly said, okay, and pulled the pillar to sit at Xiaomei's place. Xiaomei looked at the pillar, and she was not stupid on the outside, and she also asked and answered him, but her reaction was a little slow. After understanding the pillar in detail, Xiaomei took a fancy to his honesty and good heart, and expressed on the spot that one did not want gold and two did not want silver, and agreed to this marriage. Soon, according to the idea of Zhu Zi's mother, the two got married at the end of the year.

After marriage, Xiaomei was diligent in housekeeping, respected the two elders, and praised Zhu Ziniang happily when she saw people. In the second year of their marriage, Zhu Ziniang fell seriously ill and was admitted to the hospital. Xiaomei went to her mother's house to get money to see her mother-in-law and served her at the end of the bed. Everyone who saw it said that this daughter-in-law was better than her own daughter, and Zhu Ziniang was even more moved to tears.

Two months later, Zhu Ziniang was finally discharged from the hospital. On this day, the villagers came to visit, and everyone talked about Xiaomei going back to her mother's house to get money to see a doctor. At the moment, some people were wondering: It is said that Zhu Zi is the one who picked up the treasure, how can she treat her mother and ask Xiao Mei to borrow money from her mother's house? Zhu Ziniang may have seen through people's thoughts, and after she happily distributed a handful of melon seeds to each of the neighbors, she suddenly walked to the middle of the house, turned around and bowed to everyone: "Dear villagers, it is difficult for you all to come to see my wife. Alas! I am sorry for everyone, there are some things I have kept from you for many years. Today, I want to talk about this..."

Zhu Ziniang called Zhu Zi in front of her and said with red eyes, "What I want to talk about today is that Zhu Zi found the silver circle. This matter starts from Zhu Zi's illness back then..."

Zhu Ziniang said that after Zhu Zi took the wrong medicine and became stupid, she and Zhu Zi's father cried all night and night, worried that Zhu Zi would not be able to get a wife in the future. Later, one day, she suddenly had a strange idea that although Zhu Zi was stupid, if he was born lucky, maybe a woman would be willing to follow him. So when Zhu Zi was 12 years old, he asked Zhu Zi's father to bury a jar in the ground and let the pillar dig it up. Afraid that one thing would not work, after a few years, seeing that Zhu Zi was almost 20 years old, so at a meeting in the town that year, she was cruel and put the old family wealth she had saved many years ago - 50 old 10 yuan bills, put them in a wallet, and quietly threw them away on the way back, deliberately letting the pillar behind him pick them up. At that time, for fear of losing it, Zhu Zi's father followed him far away. This time, everyone finally believed that Zhu Zi was really lucky, and Madam Liu took the initiative to come and say goodbye for the first time. But I never expected that the girl introduced by Madam Liu first came only for the money. When Zhu Zi said this, she sighed deeply, and then said: "Later, I woke up, I was the result of a fake trick! When I saw Xiaomei later, I didn't dare to deceive, I said whatever I wanted, but I didn't expect that Xiaomei didn't dislike it."

When Zhu Ziniang said this, she bent down deeply and bowed to the neighbors again: "I'm sorry everyone, I lied to everyone for so many years, but in fact Zhu'er didn't find any silver balls."

The crowd was quiet. In fact, everyone was moved when they heard it. This is really pitiful for parents in the world!

"His aunt, although Pillar didn't find any silver balls, she did find a treasure!" Second Aunt Liu in the corner of the room wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said, "Everyone, Pillar and I are neighbors, and I know the situation of Pillar better than any of you. Back then, when Pillar went on a blind date, he insisted that he only liked Xiaomei - everyone saw that Xiaomei was good, right? Everyone said, did this pillar find a priceless treasure?"

Everyone heard it and said yes in unison.

Second Aunt Liu turned her head to Pillar's mother again: "His aunt, after all, Pillar is really a lucky person. Look, everyone agrees that Pillar has found the treasure!"

Zhu Ziniang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her cuffs, and finally broke into a smile. The honest and honest pillar stood beside her, and her mouth was wide open. Some careful people noticed that the big hands of the pillar were always tightly clasped, and it was Xiaomei's small hands…
