Chapter 72: Returning the Body
Zhu Deren threw his hand down angrily: "They are monkeys, how can they be my sons?" Where do I understand what they call them? ”
Deren's wife agreed: "Yes, it's worse than chickens and ducks." ”
The old lady of the Zhu family saw this opportunity and interjected: "You don't understand, I can understand." My two good grandsons said that they were hungry when they went out to play just now, and now they see their parents coming home and ask you to bring him good things to eat. ”
At this moment, Zhu Deren's face was so angry that he was panting, but he couldn't find the words to fight back.
Zhu Deyi was standing on the side, and now seeing that Zhu Deren and his wife's expressions changed greatly, they knew that this move had hit their vital point, and said, "Yes." Didn't I tell you just now that both of your sons have changed? Look, it's become this monkey now. ”
Deren's wife glared at the toad eyes: "What? My two sons have become this monkey now? ”
"Yes, Ah Ren, this is your eldest son Ah Fu," the old lady of the Zhu family pointed to the slightly larger monkey, and then pointed to the small monkey, and introduced him in a similar manner, "He is your youngest son Ah Gui." ”
Liang Shirong deliberately praised Zhu Deren: "Yo, your two sons have become very cute." ”
Zhu Deren faced the two jumping monkeys, crying and laughing, and the triangular eyes widened: "Mother, are you joking with me?" ”
"Deren, my mother has always spoken as if she was carrying a bamboo pole into an alley - straight to the point. You know my temperament, how could I joke with you? The old lady of the Zhu family looked serious when she spoke.
Zhu Deren: "I've only been out for less than half a month, how could my son become such a monkey?" ”
Deren's wife: "You can't say anything. ”
The old lady of the Zhu family: "People say that the eighteenth change of women's college. I couldn't have imagined how two good grandsons could become like this in such a short period of time? ”
Zhu Deren waved his hand and said in a stubborn tone: "My son is a human, and these two are monkeys." ”
Deren's wife also spoke to help: "Children will only get bigger, and adults will only get old and ugly, how can they become monkeys?" ”
When they were fighting, the old lady of the Zhu family pretended to be ignorant: "Yes, I am also very puzzled in my heart these days, my two grandsons have always been very good, how to raise, raise, there are so many yellow hairs on the body, the buttocks have become red, the cheeks are sharp and thin, the nose has become flat and collapsed, and the nostrils are as big as chimneys, alas! ”
Zhu Deyi hit the snake with the stick: "Yes, I looked at it at the time, looked at it, and I thought it was very strange. How did my two nephews grow so many yellow hairs, and they grew longer and longer, and longer and more yellow. The mouth is protruding forward. Yo, grow, grow, and grow, it's what it looks like now. ”
Liang Shirong: "Ah, it's strange that people can change like this." ”
Zhu Deren waved his hand in disbelief: "My two sons are human, and these two are monkeys. No matter how my two sons change, they won't become so outrageous. ”
Deren's wife: "You're colluding with me, aren't you?" ”
The old lady of the Zhu family: "I am your mother, how can I even lie to my son?" ”
Zhu Deyi: "Brother Deren, your words are just slapping yourself in the mouth." Didn't you say earlier that everything in the world is changing? ”
Liang Shirong: "Yes, things in the world are changing all the time. ”
The old lady of the Zhu family saw that Liang Shirong nodded to her, and knew that the time was ripe, so she said bluntly: "Yes, what Deyi stored in your place was obviously 2 jars of golden gold left by his father when he was dying, and after a while, when you returned it to him, it turned into 2 jars of stone." ”
Hearing the words of the old lady of the Zhu family, Zhu Deren was not a stupid person, and knew that she was referring to the two pots of gold that she had annexed her younger brother Deyi, and closed her mouth and thought.
Liang Shirong raised his voice: "Since gold can be turned into stone for no reason, then it is reasonable for your two sons to become two monkeys!" ”
Zhu Deren had suffered from Liang Shirong in the bet, and he was not angry in his heart, his triangular eyes were round, and he looked at Huineng, and asked: "This is our family matter, and we don't need you, an outsider, to interfere!" ”
The old lady of the Zhu family didn't wait for Liang Shirong to answer, and grabbed the words: "He didn't come to intervene, but I and Deyi invited him into the house." ”
Liang Shirong replied tepidly: "Earlier, when you made a bet with Liang Yaofu in the cave market, didn't you praise me in public for understanding things and upholding justice. Do you still like people like you and me the most? ”
Indeed, these words were spoken by Zhu Deren himself, and now they are being used by Liang Shirong to deal with himself. Therefore, being a general like Liang Shirong, he could only be anxious, his sharp face was flushed, but he couldn't say anything to refute Liang Shirong, just hesitated: "I...... I ......"
Zhu Deyi pointed to Huineng and said to Zhu Deren: "Brother Deren, what he said is indeed reasonable. ”
Liang Shirong: "Everyone shovels the uneven road, and everyone helps if the big thing is uneven." This is how things and reason in the world are. ”
Zhu Deren knew that he would lift a stone and hit his own feet, crying with a sad face, and pleaded with the old lady of the Zhu family: "Mother, I am your biological son, for the sake of family affection, don't play any tricks with me anymore." I beseech thee, give me back my two sons. ”
Deren's wife cried and beat her chest: "Ah Fu and Ah Gui are my hearts, if they have any winter melon and tofu, I don't want to live." I beseech you, my lord, that you have a great abundance, and give us your son back today. ”
The old lady of the Zhu family spit out all the bitter water that had been accumulating in her stomach: "Deren, sister-in-law, what kind of family affection will you talk about now?!" If you really regarded me as a mother, you two would not have used such despicable means to cheat the righteous money. You will do whatever it takes to find those ill-gotten gains. But Deyi is different from you, he is an honest man who only knows how to get rich through labor. And thy father was justified before he died, and divided some of the possessions of the house and the gold into two parts, and your brothers each took two jars. You already have a family of sons. And the gold that is righteous is to marry a wife and pay a dowry, and it can also be used to do a small business to support me. You have cheated him out of what little money he has, do you think that after I die, he will have no one to live on? ”
Liang Shirong: "Your mother is right. ”
Zhu Deren: "It doesn't make much sense to talk about it now, the most important thing is to return the two sons to me." ”
Deren's wife: "Yes, Deyi, even if Deren and I couldn't stand you before." But my two sons are your own nephews after all! ”
Liang Shirong gave Zhu Deren a step down: "Deren, your means of change are clever. Since you can turn your brother's gold into stone, you should have the ability to turn the stone back into gold, right? ”
Zhu Deren: "This ......"
Deren's wife pushed Zhu Deren, pointed to the two clay pots with stones in the corner, and glanced at him: "What are you still pushing three or four here, this time you can't shake the pot without oil." And bring back the two jars of gold that thou shalt be righteous. ”
Although Zhu Deren is greedy for money, what is now in front of him is: should he continue to be greedy for those two pots of gold, or exchange them for two biological sons? This made his mind tumble and he couldn't calm down.
The old lady of the Zhu family knew that Zhu Deren had always been an iron rooster that did not pull out a hair, and it would not be so easy to spit it out when the gold entered his stomach, so she wanted to impress him with family affection: "Deren, you and Deyi are my biological sons, the hand is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat." This time, I am not helping the righteous person, but helping the reason, I hope you can see the brotherly affection and return the gold that belongs to the righteousness to him. ”
Liang Shirong said to Zhu Deren: "Your mother is right, ill-gotten wealth cannot be obtained. The things of the world are yours and yours; It's not yours, and you won't be able to get it even if you play all the tricks. ”
The old lady of the Zhu family: "Deren, I saw that you twisted all the six pieces for that little money, and even your own brother came to deceive, completely ignoring the family affection connected by flesh and blood, I, who is a mother, my heart hurts!" ,”
Liang Shirong spoke very seriously: "The money is gone, and you can get it back through other methods." But without family affection, what is the point of living alone in the world? So money is valuable, but in comparison, family affection is more precious! ”
Zhu Deren cried with a sad face, and wanted to deny it, but he couldn't think of a pit plan anymore, so he had to say: "You have a point." ”
Liang Shirong: "The greatest kindness of being a person is to be filial to your parents, but you don't even listen to your mother's words." The greatest righteousness is to have compassion for each other. If you are humble to each other, you will get along with each other and help each other in harmony. True repentance is in reform. ”
Liang Shirong's words hit Zhu Deren's heart like an arrow: "This ......"
The old lady of the Zhu family looked at Liang Shirong: "What you said is like a great monk of Buddhism, right." ”
"I'm just speaking from my heart," Liang Shirong said to Zhu Deren, "Kindness is the source of happiness." Do a good deed every day, and increase virtue by three points. I hope that through this incident, you will change your bad roots, so that you can put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground. ”
Zhu Deren felt aggrieved, stretched out his hands, spread his palms, and flipped over: "Hey, I have never used a knife to make a sword, why do you want me to put down the butcher knife?" ”
Liang Shirong said coldly: "The knife made of steel can certainly become a butcher knife for killing people and seeing blood, but the greed in your heart is also a butcher knife!" The butcher's knife in your hearts will harm others and yourself. ”
The old lady of the Zhu family: "Yes, I can also listen to the Buddhist words spoken by this brother, and I know my son's mother's heart." Deben, Deben, over the years, you have done too many immoral things, and now even your own brothers have to deceive, this is intolerable, and it will make you lose your life! ”
