96.Wisdom and Wealth (I)
The first story that Tian Taohua told Zhao Cuicui was Liu Hongzhi's wisdom and wealth obsession.
Liu Hongzhi's first two owners were all beaten up by Liu Hongzhi because of the deduction of long-term labor, and then left. Coming to Zhao Yuanwai's house is the third family, Zhao Yuanwai's kindness and generosity to people moved Liu Hongzhi, and he didn't have any bad ideas to harm the owner. But the things that Liu Hongzhi did were spread and everyone knew about them.
The first landlord Liu Hongzhi served was a wealthy man.
This wealth addict is called Guo Jiang, and he lives in a village in the north of Zhongdu County. Don't look at his small eyes, he is a rich man, but he loves money as much as his life, in his words, it is not too much money, and his family is poor and bullied. A penny fell into the pit and had to be fished up, so people gave him a nickname called "Fortune Addict".
"Wealth Lost Essence" has no children under his knees, but he has three daughters, all of whom are like flowers and jade, and are known as "Miss Guo Jiasan".
Although the three ladies of the Guo family have the same blood, they are very different. The eldest and second misses, like their fathers, love money like life and look down on the poor. The third lady is kind by nature, never despises the poor, and is even more unaccustomed to the behavior of her father and two sisters. So the whole family couldn't see Miss Three, and Miss Three couldn't get used to seeing the whole family.
The stars are changing, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the three young ladies of the Guo family have all married and have their own families. The eldest and second ladies love money like life, and the son-in-law they marry is naturally a good match, the son of a rich family, and the "money addict" is very satisfied.
The third lady is kind-hearted, does not dislike the poor and loves the rich, regardless of her father's opposition, married a poor young man in a mountain village on the shore of Jinyang Lake, "wealth fan" is so angry that she stares at her, but the third daughter is not too poor in the wine cup, the two of them work hard together, are diligent and thrifty, and live a happy life, "wealth and money" have to give up.
It is said that in the mid-autumn of this year, it happened to be the 60th birthday of the "wealth fan", and the three daughters naturally went to celebrate their birthdays.
The eldest and second ladies married into a rich family, and the congratulatory gifts were natural. The third lady is different, although the two of them are happy, but the days are tense, and there is no money left to buy congratulatory gifts.
In desperation, the third lady had to sell a few pieces of jewelry she wore when she got married, in exchange for ten taels of silver for a congratulatory gift. However, compared with the congratulatory gifts of the eldest and second misses, it is simply a pearl of the night, which is extremely shabby.
Just when the little couple was worried about making trouble, Liu Hongzhi knew about it, so he came up with a clever plan for the third son-in-law.
The little couple couldn't help laughing when they heard it, although they felt that this plan was indecent, but it could make the old father happy, and it was also filial piety. So the two of them bought a female donkey with one tael of silver, kept five taels of silver for domestic use, and exchanged the remaining four taels for broken gold and silver, and then led the donkey, brought gold and silver, and went to congratulate his father on his birthday.
Daughters and sons-in-law all came to celebrate their birthdays, and the "wealth fans" were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together. But when she saw that the third lady's congratulatory gift was a thin little donkey, her face suddenly fell. Seeing this, the third son-in-law knew that his father-in-law was light, but he was not alarmed, and he stepped forward with a smile on his face and said:
"Father-in-law, although the gifts of the eldest and second young ladies are beautiful, they are all dead treasures, and they are gone after they are spent. And what I have given you is a living treasure, this donkey, although it is not good-looking, can make gold and urine silver. ”
Donkeys can make gold, urine and silver, which can be described as a miracle in the world. The "money fan" who was a fan of money suddenly danced with his eyebrows, and immediately urged his third son-in-law to perform in public.
Seeing that the "wealth fan" had been hooked, the third son-in-law was secretly happy in his heart, but he still pretended to be solemn and said: "The donkey must stand on the three-layer thick red carpet before it can be gold, urine and silver." ”
