Li Dingfang is sour and insatiable, often oppresses the common people, is overbearing, and is unreasonable.

Li Yu and his wife Li Hua are well-known kind people in the village, plus Li Yuzu has been a showman, passed down from generation to generation, so Li Yu is also one of the few literate people in their village, he usually teaches the children in the village to read and write, at that time there were few readers, very respected by everyone, although Li Yu lived a poor life, but he had a high reputation in the village. Li Yu is no exception to rent three acres of land for Li Yuanwai's family, and after paying rent to Li Yuanwai's family every year, there is not much food left in the family.

But if it goes on like this, when will the hard life come to an end? One day, Li Yu told his wife that he wanted to gain fame and fame in order to change the situation in his family. Li Hua was very happy about her husband's thoughts, in fact, she had wanted to tell her husband for a long time, but seeing that her husband was busy teaching and reading to the children in the village every day, Li Hua swallowed the words in her mouth again. Early the next morning, Li Hua decided to borrow money from her parents to buy a few chickens to raise, and use eggs to save enough money for the exam. Li Hua's family is also one of the largest families in the village, and the family is very wealthy, but it may be difficult to borrow money. Since Li Hua married Li Yu despite the opposition of her family, her parents and sisters no longer corresponded with her, they thought Li Yu was poor, and looked down on Li Yu in their hearts, after she married Li Yu, his parents felt that Li Hua had lost their face. Despite this, Li Hua still went, as long as she could save enough money for her husband to catch the exam, she was willing to endure no matter how much hardship she suffered.

When Li Hua returned home, she saw a happy scene, her parents, two sisters and younger brother were all at home, they were sitting around the table drinking tea and chatting. Seeing Li Hua coming, they were all surprised and shocked, because Li Hua's father clearly told Li Hua that he didn't recognize Li Hua as a daughter, and he wouldn't let Li Hua enter the gate of his Li family again. "What are you doing here, who let you in? You still have the face to come back!" Li Hua's father said angrily with a dark face. Li Hua's mother looked at Li Hua, there was grief in her eyes and even more distress, she hurriedly comforted Li Hua's father and said, "Don't be angry, the child has finally come back, is it still useful for you to be angry now?"

Li Hua's father sighed and stopped talking, and Li Hua's two sisters and younger brother looked Li Hua up and down at this time, and their hearts were full of complicated emotions. Li Hua looked at all this, her heart seemed to have overturned the five-flavor bottle, all kinds of sweet and sour tastes poured in together, tears could not help but flow down anymore, who can understand her grievances? Li Hua suddenly knelt in front of her parents and said: "The child is not filial, failed to honor you, if you can't repay the kindness of the second elder in this life, the child will repay the second elder even if you are a cow and a horse in the next life." Li Hua's mother couldn't help it anymore, although she was also dissatisfied with Li Hua, but Li Hua was her child after all, what mother in this world would not feel sorry for her children? She quickly picked up Li Hua and brought Li Hua into her room. In the room, her mother stroked her daughter's head distressedly, only twitching silently, Li Hua explained her intention to her mother, her mother listened, did not say a word, turned around and took twenty taels of silver in the box at the head of her bed and sent it to Li Hua. Li Hua saw that her mother had taken so much silver, and hurriedly said: "Mother, I just bought a few chickens, I don't need so much money", her mother glared at Li Hua, and couldn't help but give Li Hua twenty taels of silver. After staying in her mother's house for a whole and talking to her mother for a while, Li Hua went back.

When she got home, Li Hua hurriedly went to the market and bought ten chickens. Seeing the ten yellow chicks, Li Hua was very happy, she seemed to see hope. Early the next morning, Li Hua hurried to feed the chickens, she was many people hoping that these chickens would grow up and lay eggs soon, to the chicken coop, she counted the chickens carefully, afraid that the chickens were lost. But when she counted it, she found that there was one more chicken, and she thought she had counted it wrong, so she counted it again, but there was still one more. She hurriedly called her husband and asked him to go to the neighbor's house to see if anyone had lost the chicken. After a while, Li Yu came back, but the result was that no one lost the chicken, so Li Hua was relieved to raise the extra chicken.

Time was very fast, and Li Hua's eleven chicks began to lay eggs one after another, and Li Hua saw it in her eyes and was happy in her heart. One day she went to collect eggs again, when she went to the chicken coop, suddenly saw a small egg shining, Li Hua saw this little egg, thought that maybe another chicken began to lay eggs, because the first time the chicken laid eggs are relatively small, but why do they glow? Li Hua picked up this small egg with doubts, just got it in her hand and felt that this egg was unusually heavy, and then looked closely, Li Hua couldn't believe her eyes, because this was a golden egg. In the evening, Li Hua told her husband about the golden egg, and the husband and wife held the golden egg to look left and right, and they were very happy. The next day, the couple took a closer look to see which chicken could lay golden eggs, and they looked from morning to night, and finally found that it was a golden egg laid by a big red hen. In this way, the family harvested a golden egg every day, and life gradually improved, and they built a new house and bought a few acres of land.

The paper couldn't hold the fire, and gradually everyone knew about Li Yu's chickens laying golden eggs, and of course Li Dingfang also knew. After Li Dingfang knew about this, he decided to go and see it for himself, and he thought to himself, if this thing is true, then this chicken belongs to me. So Li Dingfang took a few family members to Li Yu's house to see the chicken that could lay golden eggs. As soon as he arrived at Li Yu's house, Li Dingfang's family members called Li Yu loudly, Li Yu heard that the staff came out, so he hurriedly came out to greet him, and learned that Li Yuanwai wanted to see the chicken and golden eggs that laid golden eggs, Li Yu didn't think much about it and took Li Yuanwai and his family to the chicken coop. Ever since everyone knew that his chickens could lay golden eggs, everyone came to see him, and he was used to it.

After seeing the chicken and the golden egg, Li Dingfang couldn't sleep anymore after returning home, and he was thinking about how to get the chicken. Li Dingfang has a family named Li Er, he knew that Li Yu was asking the neighbors about who threw chickens, so he told Li Dingfang about this, after hearing the news, Li Dingfang was overjoyed, he rewarded Li Er, and asked Li Er to keep his mouth shut, and can no longer tell the news. As soon as it was dawn the next day, Li Dingfang took a few family members to Li Yu's house. After arriving at Li Yu's house, he claimed that the chicken that Li Yu's family would lay golden eggs was the chicken that his family had lost a few months ago, and now he asked Li Yu to return his chicken. Li Yu and his wife were angry, they knew that Li Dingfang was lying, because Li Dingfang's family had a big business and did not raise chickens at all. But Li Dingfang insisted that the chicken was lost by his family, and Li Yu and his wife refused to give the chicken to Li Dingfang. Annoyed and angry, Li Dingfang asked the family to beat Li Yu and his wife and snatch the chicken.

But who knows, after the chickens arrived at Li Dingfang's house, they no longer had golden eggs, and only filled a nest of for Li Dingfang every day. Faced with such a situation, Li Dingfang was annoyed, and in a fit of anger, he killed the chicken, and asked the family to return the dead chicken to Li Yu. Li Yu and his wife have been going to Li Dingfang to ask for the chicken since they were taken away by Li Dingfang, and they have been beaten several times for this, and they have been looking forward to getting their own chickens back. But when they saw the dead chickens that were sent back, Li Yu and his wife were angry and sad, and even more heartbroken. At this point, Li Yu and his wife can only accept it, they are soft-spoken, how can they take the rich and powerful Li Dingfang?

Li Yu and his wife reluctantly buried the chickens on the edge of the yard and planted soybeans on them. Spring to autumn, soybeans are ripe, Li Yu and his wife in the yard planted soybeans are surprisingly good, the grains are full and lush, what is more strange is that you can smell the fragrance of soybeans from afar, the fragrance makes the smelling people refreshed, the whole body is comfortable, the sick people smell the fragrance, it is a miraculous recovery. Li Yu and his wife harvested the soybeans, because they really couldn't stand the temptation of the fragrance, so they fried some of the soybeans and ate them, and the Li Yu couple who ate the soybeans also had a strange fragrance, and the fragrance was worse than the fragrance of the freshly ripe soybeans, and the fragrance could be smelled from a mile away, this fragrance was very peculiar, not only to cure diseases but also to resolve the troubles of others, so that the people who smelled the fragrance were happy. In this way, as soon as it was spread ten, ten and hundred, the news that Li Yu and his wife had a strange fragrance and could cure the disease reached the ears of the county order, and the county order was worried about his father's illness, and when he heard the news, he hurriedly ordered someone to invite Li Yu and his wife to treat the old man.

As for Li Dingfang, after learning that Li Yu and his wife had eaten the soybeans that grew from the place where the chicken was buried, they were particularly annoyed, and he often said to himself: "How can a chicken that can lay golden eggs be an ordinary chicken? I shouldn't have given them the chicken in the first place." A plan does not achieve a plan to regenerate, and this time he attracted the attention of Li Yu and his wife soybeans. When he learned that Li Yu and his wife were invited away by the county order, Li Dingfang was jealous and happy, jealous that he couldn't see the county order, and happy that he could take away those fragrant soybeans. So that night, he asked someone to steal the remaining soybeans from Li Yu and his wife. Looking at those soybeans full of strange fragrances, Li Dingfang's face burst into laughter, and Li Dingfang was full of excitement when he thought of the scene where he could also have a strange fragrance. He hurriedly asked people to fry the soybeans, and called his wife and children to share them with them. But who knows, when they ate those soybeans with joy, not only did they not have a strange smell but were full of stench, and at the same time, their stomachs also swelled, and it didn't take long for Li Dingfang's family to swell to death.

Later, Li Yu was admitted to Xiucai, but he and her wife are still so kind, still so simple, and are deeply loved by everyone in the local area, and the fact that they have a strange fragrance has also become a beautiful conversation after dinner.
