Chapter 73: Stone Turns to Gold

Liang Shirong: "If there is a way, a saint will be wrong." But knowing that mistakes can be corrected must be a wise person, if you protect your shortcomings, you are not a wise person in your heart. ”

Zhu Deren was blushed by Liang Shirong and the old lady of the Zhu family: "I ...... I'll try to change it in the future. ”

The old lady of the Zhu family: "Deren, don't you say that it will be in the future, do you want my two grandchildren to change from monkeys to humans in the future?" ”

Zhu Deren: "Mother, what do you mean?" ”

The old lady of the Zhu family said sincerely: "Deren, you and Deyi are biological brothers, but even if you break your foot bones, you are also connected to the tendons." Now return the two jars of gold to Deyi and correct your mistakes. ”

Liang Shirong said to Zhu Deren: "The shining spiritual light in the depths of people's hearts is conscience. You always think about calculating people, but people are doing it, and the sky is watching. There are gods three feet above his head. You'll be counted the other way around. ”

Zhu Deren was still hesitating, and Deren's wife, who was anxious for his son, poked the tip of his nose with her finger on the spot and scolded: "Deren, what are you still thinking about standing like a log?" Hurry up and return those two jars of gold to righteousness. In my heart, my two sons are more important than those two pots of gold! ”

Now, Zhu Deren knew that he couldn't rely on it anymore, so he had to sigh: "Alas, but I declare that if I hand over the two jars of gold, you will return my two sons to me!" ”

The old lady of the Zhu family: "Of course, I can vouch for my mother." ”

Liang Shirong said sincerely: "Deren, you see, although your mother is at this age, she still loves and hates as a person, and she is righteous. ”

"Okay, you follow me to the vegetable garden behind," Zhu Deren said, telling Zhu Deyi to take a shovel and follow him to the vegetable garden behind.

The garden was small, with a few rows of beans climbing on top of it, and rows of beans climbing on a crossed bamboo fence. Due to Zhu Deren's absence for many days and lack of management, the leaves of these beans have turned yellow.

Zhu Deyi worked with him, pulled out the beans and fences on the furrow, and then used a shovel to cut through the soil about a foot deep, and saw two new clay pots.

Zhu Deren blushed and pointed to the new clay pot, and said to Zhu Deyi, "The gold is in these two pots." ”

Zhu Deyi bent down and picked up the two new clay pots from the mud pit, wiped off the soil on them, and then opened the seal, and sure enough, the golden gold was inside, stuffed full.

Aiko's gold was lost and recovered, and the old lady of the Zhu family smiled.

Zhu Deren: "Mother, I have returned the gold to Brother Deyi." What about my 2 sons? ”

Deren's wife: "yes, I think they're going crazy. ”

"Okay, you guys wait." The old lady of the Zhu family dropped a sentence and went out to the second uncle's house at the end of the village, and it didn't take long for Ah Fu and Ah Gui to be brought back.

When Deren's wife saw the two sons returning, she took them in her arms, and burst into tears with excitement, and said in a loud voice, "I have brought you something delicious." ”

With his understanding, Liang Shirong directed a good play of "son becomes monkey", turning the farce of "gold into stone" into a comedy of "stone into gold".

"Your business is settled, and I should go back too." Liang Shirong took two monkeys and said goodbye to the old lady of the Zhu family.

When Liang Shirong walked to the gate, the old lady of the Zhu family suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Wait a minute!" ”

Liang Shirong heard the shout, stopped, turned his head and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes," the old lady of the Zhu family nodded, the wrinkles on her face deepened, and said, "I still have one thing that I can't do, and it has always become a knot in my heart." You are a man of great wisdom, and I hope you will be able to help me one more time. ”

Liang Shirong: "What other knots do you have that you can't untie?" ”

"The piece of mountain land that my husband left behind before he died." The old lady of the Zhu family pointed to the hill that she could look out the window, "Well, this is the mountain next to the big camphor tree." ”

Liang Shirong raised his eyes and looked: "That's a good mountain!" ”

"But it's a mountain area that gives me a lot of headaches!" The old lady of the Zhu family told the reason before and after.

It turned out that the husband of the old lady of the Zhu family left her the more than 120 acres of mountainous land before he died. She knew that she was old and frail, so she wanted to give this mountain land to her two sons, so that she would not turn against each other for the two brothers to fight for that mountain land a hundred years later. In fact, what she is most worried about is that her younger son Deyi will be bullied by her eldest son. The hard part is that the mountain is not only high and low, but also east and west. How do you divide that mountain area in half fairly? She couldn't think of a good way to do it, so she had to call the elders of the village to help demarcate the border. In order to make the mountain area more equitable, the area facing west is of course larger than the area facing east. But how much is it reasonable? It's hard to define. After each division in two, both sons said that the division was not fair. Rowing back and forth could not satisfy both of their brothers.

"The elders and I in the village reasoned with their brothers, talked about family affection, and talked so much that our tongues were dry, but they still refused to give in to each other." The old lady of the Zhu family let out a long sigh, "Ahem, if my husband hadn't left this mountain land, I wouldn't have so many troubles." ”

Liang Shirong comforted: "You can't say that. Now there are mountains to be distributed to future generations, and that's a good thing. You can't sigh about it. ”

The old lady of the Zhu family: "You have excellent understanding, there must be a good way to cut it for me." ”

Liang Shirong pinched his chin, locked his eyebrows, thought steadily, and after a while, he clapped his fist with his palm and shouted, "There is." ”

The old lady of the Zhu family stretched her neck: "Is there any way?" ”

Liang Shirong put forward an idea: "You can ask your eldest son Deren to personally go out and divide the mountain into 2 parts, so that he can draw it as fairly as possible, and then your youngest son Deyi will choose it first." Or, turn around and let your younger son divide the mountain into two parts, and your eldest son will make the selection first. ”

"Good! That's a great way to do it! After hearing this, the old lady of the Zhu family clapped her hands, the wrinkles on her face were loosened, and her eyes were only slit with a smile, and then she asked Liang Shirong to enter the house with her again and tell her two sons about the idea of dividing the mountain.

The old lady of the Zhu family said to Zhu Deren, "Deren, if you divide it by yourself, you will pick it first; If it is divided by righteousness, you will choose first. Which one do you take? ”

Zhu Deren thought about it with his head, pointed at Liang Shirong and said: "Since he proposed such a plan, it doesn't matter if I demarcate the boundary or if Brother Deyi demarcates it." ”

The old lady of the Zhu family: "Deren, you are the eldest brother, you will go up the mountain tomorrow to demarcate the boundary in person." ”

Zhu Deren nodded: "Okay." ”

"That's a foregone conclusion." The old lady of the Zhu family turned to Zhu Deyi, "Tomorrow, after Deren draws the mountain boundary, you will pick it first." Do you have any comments? ”

Zhu Deyi replied cheerfully: "No opinion." ”

Seeing that the matter was resolved so quickly, the old lady of the Zhu family breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Liang Shirong: "Yo, my heart disease will be cured for you at once." Tonight, I can get a good night's sleep. ”

Liang Shirong: "Since you don't have anything to do, I'm going back to Shuangshi Mountain." ”

"Righteousness, we send this great benefactor." The old lady of the Zhu family and Zhu Deyi sent Liang Shirong out of the village all the way.

When parting, Zhu Deyi took out a few pieces of gold from his arms and handed them to Liang Shirong: "Engong, today's matter is bothering you." This is a small meaning, not a tribute, a little bit of heart. ”

Liang Shirong pushed again and again: "No, no, I can't accept this money." Helping the needy and helping others is what I should do. ”

Zhu Deyi apologized: "If you don't accept it, I will be uneasy in my heart." ”

The old lady of the Zhu family held Liang Shirong's hand tightly and was grateful: "Yes, Engong, even if you give some face, my old man, accept it." ”

Liang Shirong saw that the old lady of the Zhu family was so stubborn, and came up with an idea: "Either way, you can use the money to buy some tree seeds and plant them on Shuangshi Mountain, which is also our common intention." ”

"Okay." The old lady of the Zhu family and Zhu Deyi nodded, "We'll do this tomorrow." ”

Liang Shirong saw the two monkeys looking up at him, and waved at them with a smile: "Ah Zuo, Ah Right, go back to the mountain!" ”

The two monkeys seemed to know that they had completed their "mission" and were going back, and they screamed "whoa, whoa", and made a few somersaults on the ground before heading back to the mountain.
