Although Shi Deren is greedy for money, what is now in front of him is: should he continue to be greedy for those two jars of silver, or use them to exchange them for two biological sons? This made his mind tumble and he couldn't calm down.

The old lady of the Shi family knew that Shi Deren had always been an iron rooster with no hair, and when the silver came into his hands, it would not be so easy to take it out, so she wanted to impress him with family affection: "Ah Ren, you and Ah Yi are both my biological sons, the hand is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat." This time, I am not helping Ayi, but helping Li, I hope you can look at the brother's affection and return the silver that belongs to Ayi to him. ”

Zhang Shaofei said to Shi 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 Shi family: "Ah Ren, I saw that you twisted all the money 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!" ”

Zhang Shaofei spoke very seriously: "The money is gone, and you can get it back by other means." 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! ”

Shi 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." ”

Zhang Shaofei: "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 biggest meaning is to pity 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. ”

Zhang Shaofei's words hit Shi Deren's heart like an arrow: "This ......"

The old lady of the Shi family looked at Zhang Shaofei: "What you said is like a great monk of Buddhism, right." ”

"I'm just speaking from my heart." Zhang Shaofei said to Shi 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. ”

Shi 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?" ”

Zhang Shaofei said coldly: "The knife made of steel can certainly become a butcher knife that kills people and sees blood, but the greed in your heart is also a butcher's knife!" The butcher's knife in your heart will harm others and yourself. ”

The old lady of the Shi family: "Yes, I can also listen to the Buddhist words spoken by this brother, and I know my son Mo Ruomu." Ah Ren, Ah Ren, over the years, you have done too many immoral things, and now you even have to deceive your own brothers, which is intolerable and will make you lose your life! ”

Zhang Shaofei: "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 virtuous person in your heart. ”

Shi Deren was blushing when Zhang Shaofei and his mother said: "I ...... I'll try to change it in the future. ”

The old lady of the Shi family: "Ah Ren, don't you talk about the future, do you want my two grandsons to change from monkeys to humans in the future?" ”

Shi Deren: "Ah Niang, what do you mean?" ”

The old lady of the Shi family said sincerely: "Ah Ren, you and Ah Yi are biological brothers, but even if you break your foot bones, you will also have tendons." Now you return the two jars of silver to Ayi and correct your mistakes. ”

Zhang Shaofei said to Shi 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. ”

Shi Deren was still hesitating, and his beloved wife poked the tip of his nose with her finger on the spot and scolded: "Deren, what are you thinking about standing like a log?" Hurry up and return those two jars of silver to Ayi. In my heart, my two sons are more important than those two jars of silver! ”

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

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

Zhang Shaofei said sincerely: "You see, although your mother is old, she still loves and hates as a person, and she is righteous. ”

"Okay, you follow me to the back garden." Shi Deren said that, he told Shi 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 were climbing on the crossed fence.

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

Shi Deren pointed to the new clay pot with a red face and said to Shi Deyi: "The silver is in these two pots. ”

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

Aiko's silver was lost and recovered, and the old lady of the Shi family smiled.

Shi Deren looked at the old lady of the Shi family impatiently and asked, "Ah Niang, I have already returned the silver to Brother Deyi." What about my two sons? ”

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

"Okay, you guys wait." The old lady of the Shi 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 come back.

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

Zhang Shaofei relied on his understanding to direct a good play of "son turning into monkey", so that the farce of "silver turning into stone" turned into a comedy of "stone turning into silver".

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

When Zhang Shaofei walked out of the gate, the old lady of the Shi family suddenly thought of something and shouted: "Ah Fei, wait a minute!" ”

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

"Yes," the old lady of the Shi 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. ”

Zhang Shaofei asked puzzledly: "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 Shi family pointed to the hill that could be seen outside the window, "Well, this is the mountain next to the big camphor tree." ”

Zhang Shaofei 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 Shi family told the reason before and after.

It turned out that the husband of the old lady of the Shi family left her that 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 become enemies between the two brothers over the 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 Shi family let out a long sigh, "Ahem, if my husband hadn't left this mountain land, I wouldn't have so many troubles." ”

Zhang Shaofei 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 Shi family: "You have a good understanding, there must be a good way to cut it for me." ”

Zhang Shaofei pinched his chin, locked his eyebrows, thought steadily, and after a while, he clapped his fist and shouted, "There is." ”

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

Zhang Shaofei put forward his idea: "You can ask your eldest son Deren to personally go out and divide the mountain into two parts, tell him to draw it as fairly as possible, and then your youngest son Deyi will choose first." Or, turn around and let your younger son divide the mountain in two, and your older son will pick first. ”

"Good! That's a great way to do it! After hearing this, the old lady of the Shi family clapped her hands, the wrinkles on her face relaxed, and she smiled so much that her eyes were only slit, and then asked Zhang Shaofei to enter the house with her again and tell her two sons about the idea of dividing the mountain.

The old lady of the Shi family said to Shi Deren: "Ah Ren, if it is up to you to divide it, Ah Yi will pick it first; If it is divided by Ayi, you will pick first. Which one do you take? ”

Shi Deren thought about it with his head tilted, pointed at Zhang Shaofei and said: "Since he proposed such a plan, it doesn't matter if I demarcate the boundary or if my righteous brother demarcates it." ”

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

Shi Deren nodded: "Okay." ”

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

Shi Deyi replied briskly: "No opinion." ”

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

Zhang Shaofei said: "Since you have nothing to do, I will go back to Yunwu Mountain." ”

"Ayi, let's send this great benefactor." The old lady of the Shi family and Shi Deyi sent Zhang Shaofei out of the village all the way.

When parting, Shi Deyi took out a few ingots of silver from his arms and handed them to Zhang Shaofei: "Engong, today's matter is bothering you." This is a small meaning, not a tribute, a little bit of heart. ”

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

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

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

Zhang Shaofei saw that the old lady of the Shi 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 Yunwu Mountain, which is also our common intention." ”

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

Zhang Shaofei 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, so excited that they fought a few somersaults on the ground, shouting "whoa, whoa".
