There was a merchant who had four wives. www.biquge.info He liked his fourth wife the most, pampered her, cared for her in every way, bought her many expensive clothes, and dressed her up beautifully. He loved her so much that he always wanted the best for her, no matter what.

He is also very fond of his third wife, he is always proud of her, and often takes her to various occasions to make her appear in front of his friends. However, the merchant has a heart problem, and he is always worried that one day she will elope with another man.

Moreover, he also likes his second wife. She is an empathetic, patient woman who can be described as a businessman's confidante. Whenever a businessman is in trouble, he always asks her for help. And she can always give advice to help businessmen turn danger into relief and tide over difficulties.

Speaking of the businessman's wife, she is loyal and conscientious to the businessman. Whether it is financial management, business management, or family affairs, they are all well organized, and it can be said that they have made the greatest contribution to the family.

Despite this, the merchant did not like her. Although she loved the merchant deeply, the merchant knew almost nothing.

One day, the merchant fell ill. It wasn't long before he knew that his days were numbered. Thinking of the luxurious life in the past, he couldn't help but feel sad, and secretly sighed, "Now I have four wives with me, but once I die, they will all leave me." How lonely I will be!"

So, he asked his fourth wife, "I like you the most, I always buy you the best clothes, and I love you the most." Now that I will soon die, will you go with me and be with me?"

"No way," the fourth wife replied categorically, and then, without saying a word, turned and left.

These words pierced the merchant's heart like a sharp knife. The merchant was very distressed, so he went to his third wife and asked, "I have liked you very much all my life." But I'm going to die, will you go with me and be with me?"

"No," she replied immediately, "life is so good, and if you die, I'll have to marry again." Hearing this, the merchant's heart suddenly became cold.

The businessman had to plead with his second wife, "Every time I encounter difficulties, I always come to you for help, and you can always help me get out of the predicament." Now, I'd like to ask you for another favor. If I die, will you go with me and be with me?"

The second wife said coldly, "I'm sorry, this time, I really can't help you." At most, I can only send you to the grave. The words of the second wife were like a thunderbolt from the sky, which stunned the businessman for a long time.

But then, a voice shouted at him, "I'm willing to go with you, wherever you go." ”

The merchant looked up and saw that it was his eldest wife. She was so emaciated and skinny. The merchant said sadly, "I should have done my best to treat you well." ”

In fact, in our lifetime, each of us has four wives.

The fourth wife is our flesh. No matter how much we take care of it, once we die, it will be far away from us.

Our third wife is our property, status and money. Once we die, it belongs to someone else.

The second wife is our family and friend. When we are alive, no matter how close we are to each other, once we die, they will at most stop at our graves.

And the eldest wife is our soul. Usually, we tend to ignore them in our pursuit of material possessions and satisfying sensual pleasures.

Think about what is there that follows us closely wherever I go. Therefore, we need to be kind to our souls, not wait for us to sigh about it when we are dying.
