Chapter 409 Li Ba Cylinder
Scholar Li Yuesheng, the second son of Li Ruweng. Mr. Li's family is rich, and there are countless gold. He is filled with large water tanks, with a total of eight cylinders, so the people call him "Li Ba cylinders." Soon after, Master Li fell seriously ill and distributed his family property when he was dying. His brother got 80%, and Li Yuesheng only got 20%, and he was unhappy.
Master Li said, "I'm not biased. There is still a lot of gold in my family, but I have to wait until there are few people to give it to you. Don't worry." A few days later, Master Li was dying. Li Yuesheng was worried that once his father died, no one would know where the gold was. Seeing the silence around him, he thought, "Didn't my father say last time: 'When there were few people, tell me the whereabouts of the gold?' It's a good opportunity now."
Thinking of this, I immediately asked him to talk to him. Master Li said, "There is a fixed number of bitterness and happiness in life. Your daughter-in-law is virtuous. You are enjoying the blessing of your wife now. I can't give you more gold, otherwise you will be more guilty. Li Yuesheng didn't listen and pleaded again and again. Master Li said angrily, "You still have 20 years of hardships. Even if you give a daughter, you will be defeated in an instant. Don't expect me to help you until the end of the mountains and rivers. Li Yuesheng was filial. Seeing that his father was angry, he did not dare to ask for it again.
Not a few, Master Li died of illness. Fortunately, my brother is virtuous. He is responsible for the funeral and doesn't care about his brother. Li Yuesheng is naive and naive, regardless of gains and losses. He is good at drinking, likes to treat guests, eats and drinks with people every day, and ignores production. Seeing that he was cowardly, the scoundrel in the village came to eat from time to time.
In a blink of an eye, in the past few years, Li's family has declined. When he was embarrassed, he relied on his brother to help. Not long after, my brother died and returned to the west. Li lost his assistance, and his family interrupted cooking. He lived on loans. He borrowed money in spring and returned in autumn, and he was depressed. In a few years, his wife died, his eldest son died, and his family was miserable.
Li Yuesheng couldn't help being sad. Later, he married Xu as his wife. Xu was originally the wife of a sheep seller with a fierce personality. After crossing the door, he humiliated his father-in-law in every way. Li Yuesheng had bitter words. Under Xu's coercion, he gradually cut off contact with his relatives and friends.
That night, Li Yuesheng saw his father in his dream and said to himself, "What you are suffering now can be said to be exhausted. I promised you gold before, so I will keep my promise. Li Yuesheng asked, "Where is the gold?" Father said, "I'll give it to you tomorrow." After saying that, he disappeared.
Li Yuesheng woke up in shock and said with a wry smile, "I'm really poor and crazy. My father has been dead for many years. How can I expect him to give me gold?" The next day, Li Yuesheng dug up the earth to repair the wall and dug out a huge amount of gold from the ground. Only then did he realize that "the so-called 'time when there are fewer people' originally refers to most of the deaths of the family members, not the literal 'few people'."
