The story of Le Yangzi's wife is written in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. As for the success or development of Leyangzi, it is not written in the book, leaving endless speculation for future generations. Many people think that Le Yangzi developed into a senior official and did not live up to his dead wife's painstaking efforts. Le Yangzi's wife has made great efforts on the road of her husband's success, especially in the choice of key moments in her life.
The first short story is that Le Yangzi found a piece of gold on the road and came back to enjoy it himself. As a result, his wife found out, and the wife directly said that a virtuous person would never quote the water from stealing springs. Le Yangzi, who said this, was ashamed and donated the gold directly. Then I studied hard, but I only read it for a year, and then I ran home. Le Yangzi's wife asked him what happened and why he came back so soon. Le Yangzi said, nothing else, just missing my loved ones. Le Yangzi's wife replied like this, you read me and knit, and every thread you knit is exchanged for every silk of silkworm chrysalis. Silk quilt can be woven because it has never been broken, because it can persevere, and so can you when you study. If you give up your studies halfway, just like a silkworm takes a breath when spinning, then the one who spins the most silk is definitely not woven. Le Yangzi was greatly moved after hearing this, and immediately went back to study. He hasn't been home for seven years.
During these seven years, a very tragic thing happened to his wife. A thief came to rape her and threatened her mother-in-law. Le Yangzi's wife couldn't stand such insults and hanged herself directly, and his mother-in-law was saved.
