After listening, Liu suddenly realized that he was going to sell pigs to save his husband. Although the pig was not big enough to sell at a good price, she also recognized it, contacted the pig dealer and sold it cheaply. Seeing that she was a woman, the pig dealer didn't have the knowledge and guidance from her husband, so he tried his best to lower the price and bought the pig at half the market price. The woman doesn't know what the pig price is now, and she is anxious to save her husband. She didn't lower the price, but sold the pig cheerfully.
After taking the money, the Liu Qu government paid it back. Unexpectedly, your officials said it was fake when they saw the money. Liu didn't believe it. He took it to the silversmith for several times, but it turned out to be fake money. Liu was heartbroken, knowing that there was no hope of saving her husband, and the children at home were going to eat again. The only valuable pig in the family has been sold, and there is no way out. Liu felt very ashamed, only that he was stupid, and he broke the only way to save his husband, so he blamed himself for suicide.
Think about the children at home. What should he do if he dies? Liu had no choice but to throw his son into the river, thinking that the mother and son died cleanly and without attachments. When she reached the river, Liu held her son, closed her eyes and jumped into the river. However, the child was crying, which made her sad and made her feel that she should not kill the child.
Just as Liu hesitated, Li Fu, a businessman passing by the river, quickly stopped the woman: "How can you commit suicide at a young age?" Liu told Li Fu that her husband owed money to the government and was locked up. He sold pigs to save his husband and was cheated by pig dealers, lamenting his hard life.
Li Fu listened to sigh, "how can you be so confused! Even if you want to die, why take this child with you? What does Niu San's evil have to do with children? What happened to him? You deprived him of his life! " Liu replied, "When I die, he will have no parents. Who cares about him? " You'll starve to death at that time. You might as well die together. "Say that finish, and want to throw it into the river.
Li Fu grabbed the woman and asked, "How much does your family owe the government, which is worth your life?" Liu replied, "I owe the court 100,000 taels of silver, and I really can't pay it back. I have no choice! " Don't talk to me, it's also a relief to let my mother die. "
Li Fu saw that she was stubborn and refused to listen. It seems that she can't solve the problem of money, so she is bent on suicide. He was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see people die in vain, so he said to the woman, "This is only two pieces of silver. It's really not worth losing three lives for this little money! Come home with me and get some money to save your husband. I will feel that self-help is a good thing. "
When Liu heard that Li Fu was willing to help him, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed. With a full face of surprise, he went home with the money, gave it to your official, and redeemed her husband Wang Xi from prison. Wang Xi was surprised and asked her where she got the money. Liu told her husband everything, and his tone was full of gratitude to Li Fu. And said to her husband, "I really want to thank this benefactor. If he hadn't happened to bump into me when I threw myself into the river and paid for our help, not only would I have no money to save you, but now my son and I are both dead. "
Hearing this, Wang Xi was a little happy. How lucky he is that such a kind man met his wife in the world! I secretly blame my wife for being too stupid to do such a stupid thing! Reasoning, he suspected that things were not as simple as his wife said! I'm afraid my wife is poor enough to go to her lover and turn green, and that person will give her money. Otherwise, how could there be such a kind person and such a coincidence?
Thought of here, he wanted to sound out whether there were other unclear things between his wife and Wang Xi. So, he carefully asked his wife, "Do you remember the appearance of the benefactor? Do you know where he lives? We should thank him at once! People helped us kindly, and I won't even say thank you. "
Liu thinks what her husband said is very reasonable, and the benefactor should thank her, but it's dark now, and it's not good to disturb her at home. Therefore, she suggested that her husband visit thank humbly the next day, and it was really inconvenient to visit at night. I only feel that Liu denies it in every way, and my doubts are deeper. But he didn't say what he thought, but advised his wife: "Thank you in time. Tonight's thanks are completely different from tomorrow's! "
Seeing that her husband was stubborn, Liu took him to Li Fu's house to thank him. Go to the door of the Li family, don't make any noise, let Liu Qu knock at the door. Hearing a knock at the door, Li Fu quickly asked, "Who's outside? How can you disturb the people in the middle of the night? " Liu quickly replied, "it's me, Mr. En, the mother and son you saved by the river during the day." Do you remember me? "
After thinking about it, Li Fu still had an impression on Liu and replied, "Of course, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Strange to say, Li Fu is an honest man. If another man saves a young woman and meets a woman knocking at the door in the middle of the night, he will definitely think that she has come to commit suicide. At this time, he will do something shameful with her, and she will not object.
But Li Fu is a decent man, so he didn't think of this layer. Instead, he asked her why she came to see him. Wang Xi feels silly and cute. Although Liu is a fool, she felt a little rude when she heard Li Fu's question. She quickly explained, "I came to thank you and give you good news. I took the two pieces of silver you gave me to redeem my husband. "
Li Fu replied through the door, "It's really gratifying! However, you are from the woman's family, but it is impolite to give good news and thank you in the middle of the night. Go home quickly! Don't do such stupid things in the future! It's not good to meet bad people. "
This sentence made Liu He feel ashamed. In order not to let the benefactor misunderstand himself, Liu explained, "I didn't come alone, but my husband accompanied me." It's not impolite to have his company. "
After hearing this, Li Fu had to get up and dress and open the door to meet the couple. As soon as he left the bedroom, he heard a bang. The roof of the bedroom actually collapsed, and the falling mud and gravel buried his bedroom bed! Liv was in shock and only felt lucky to escape! If it weren't for Mr. and Mrs. Liu's late-night visit, he would have gone out to meet him, fearing that he would die tonight!
Out of the gate, Li Fu thanked Mr. and Mrs. Liu: "Thank you for waking me up, or I would have died at home tonight!" " Wang Xi saw it, and his doubts about his wife and Li Fu vanished. "。 The two called each other brothers and thanked each other.
The ancients said: it is convenient for others and for yourself. Li Fu saved others because of kindness, and finally saved himself.
