One day later, the woman did not return the bowl, and the fat man waited for a while, wondering if there was something wrong with her family? So the fat man closed the stall early, went to the entrance of the town, and inquired in many ways to find the woman's home, from the outside, the family was miserable, the yard did not even have a door, the fat man stood outside the courtyard and shouted, "Old sister-in-law, old sister-in-law, is it okay?" After a while, the woman came out, and when she saw the fat man, she hurriedly wiped her tears, let the fat man into the house, and said, "The house is very simple, if there is neglect, please forgive me, I did not return the bowl today, only because the child's condition is aggravated......" After the woman finished speaking, she went to pour water for the fat man, and the fat man took the opportunity to look at the furnishings in the house, and found that it was not very good-looking, the four walls of the house were modest, there was no furniture in the house, the roof was more damaged, and there was a straw mat in the corner of the house, and a child was lying on the straw mat.

The child ...... "My husband's surname is Mo, my surname is Xin, and the child is my seriously ill son." The woman was a little excited. The fat man asked again, "Why don't you see your husband?" What is the child's disease? The woman said, "My bones are soft when I am born here, and when I touch a bone, my husband wants to go into the mountains to gather some herbs, but he dies in the mouth of a poisonous snake, and now I have no money to cure my son." After saying that, he cried. When the fat man heard this, he felt sad, so he took out the tattooed silver and handed it to the woman, "Old sister-in-law, there are thirty taels here, you take it to see a doctor with the child, and when the child is better, take him to my place to eat chaos." Without waiting for the woman to speak, he picked up the bowl and turned and walked out.
The fat man was very happy walking on the road, and doing good deeds was accumulating virtue, and he believed that he would be rewarded. When the stall was about to close in the evening, a scholar came, sat at the table and sighed, and the fat man sat in front of him after the bowl of chaos, looking at him, the scholar felt strange and asked, "Shop, what do you mean?" Staring at me for no reason. The fat man smiled and said, "Is this gentleman troubled?" "Alas, I haven't missed the exam for seven years, and I have no money to take the exam again this year, so it's hard work, it's hard work." After the scholar finished speaking, he sighed again. The fat man took out the money and put it on the table, and said, "This is easy to do!" This tattoo of fifty taels of silver, you take it to the exam, I won't give it to you in vain, count me as borrowing you, and remember to pay me back when you become an official. When the scholar heard this, he took up the silver and bowed to the ground.
In the past few days, the fat man has helped a lot of people, and his reputation has gradually spread. The fat man was humming an unknown tune, taking care of the shop, but when he saw a sixty-year-old man hurrying from a distance, he knelt in front of the fat man's shop with a puff, kowtowing like pounding garlic. The fat man was so frightened that he hurriedly picked it up and asked why? The old man said, "The little old man is from the village next door, and I heard that there is a good man in this town, who is willing to give kindness, and the little old man is desperate, so he made this decision to ask the great good man to save him." After speaking, he was about to kneel down again, but the fat man hurriedly helped him and said, "Uncle, if you have something, you just say it, and I will never shirk if I can help." "Alas, just because the son of the little old man is not successful, he fights with someone and beats that person to death, this murder must be worth his life, but the little old man is old and has a son, that is, no matter how poor he is, the little old man also expects him to cover the coffin for me, so he sold his property and got a hundred taels of silver, and wanted to bribe the county magistrate, but the silver was stolen by thieves on the road." After saying that, I cried. After hearing this, the fat man took out a cloth bag, "There are a hundred taels of silver here, you go and save your son." The old man was so moved that he was so choked that he couldn't speak, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, then turned around and left.
