The ending of the honest man
"Fifth Aunt, did I hear you correctly? Why did you catch the chicken and send it to him? To Xiaohei, or to Xiaohei and his second aunt to apologize?"
Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but put the tea bowl aside and asked curiously
Bao Suyun frowned slightly, looked solemnly, and murmured softly: "It's not called apology, and it's not like giving a chicken to someone alone. Anyway, just bring a chicken to ease the relationship."
Yang Ruoqing smiled helplessly, "Fifth Aunt, your words suddenly reminded me of a short story. You and the protagonist in that story are really carved out of the same mold."
The eyes of everyone in the room were attracted to her, and even Bao Suyun was a little curious.
Yang Ruoqing said: "There once was an honest person with a very good temper. How good is she?"
"It is said that a thief came to her house at night to steal something. She helped open the door for fear that the thief would get in through the window and fall."
"The thief took the things and left. She had to give the thief two cakes to take with her."
"In the village, someone was clearly bullying her and slapped her on the left cheek. She was not angry at all, and even gave her right cheek to be slapped. She originally thought she was so good that she had to swallow her anger and follow.
Like a thousand-year-old bastard, everyone has to remember her now, right?"
"But when people mention her, they shake their heads and say she is a fool. No matter where she goes or where she leaves, they don't give her face because they know she doesn't need face."
When the three people listening to the story in the room heard this, their expressions changed subtly.
Sun and Mianmian unanimously turned their attention to Bao Suyun.
Bao Suyun herself blushed and smiled at them both a little embarrassedly.
Isn’t that the good old man in Qing’er’s story me?
Even if others don't give me face, I don't care. I do good deeds and I swallow my anger. It's not for myself. I do good deeds for my children and future generations.
Bao Suyun thought silently in her heart, feeling that her persistence was right. Good people will eventually be rewarded, even if it is not rewarded to themselves, it will be rewarded to their descendants.
"Later, this good old lady got old and died. When she was sentenced before the King of Hell, she found that all the good deeds she had done in the past, which she thought were meritorious deeds, were not recorded in the merit book of the Lord of Hell. In fact, some
She even made things worse and the king of hell punished her."
"Ah?" Hearing this, Bao Suyun couldn't sit still.
"She doesn't seek merit, but seeks no faults. She is a good person. Why should she be punished for doing good deeds?"
Bao Suyun also asked about the confusion in the hearts of Sun and Mianmian, and their questioning eyes turned to Yang Ruoqing again.
Yang Ruoqing said so much before, her mouth was a little dry.
Taking advantage of this gap, he took another sip of tea and continued to answer their questions.
"Human beings are inherently good, and kindness and tolerance are not wrong in themselves. This is a virtue and deserves encouragement."
"But kindness and tolerance also need to have their own principles and bottom lines, and they are not blindly obedient. Only when you do something with your own inner approval, can you be truly kind and tolerant."
"If what you do seems to outsiders to be a good thing, but you feel aggrieved in your heart, then this person is a coward."
"Live for good and die for good. A person's unprincipled kindness and tolerance are actually condoning evil forces in disguise and making evil behaviors more arrogant. This is not doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. This is appeasing and supporting evil and helping evil. So
When the honest man who thought he was the kindest came to the Lord of Hell, not only did he not receive a reward, but he was punished for this reason."
The two people in front of me, the big one and the small one, were all dumbfounded.
Yang Ruoqing changed the subject and directly applied the case to Bao Suyun and Xiao Hei.
"Take this matter as an example. Regardless of whether it is Xiao Hei who is a liar or Wang Chunhua who does not distinguish between right and wrong, they are both the wrong party. Since they are the wrong party, they must bear the consequences."
"Fifth Aunt, you just gave me a chicken on your ass. This is an indulgence of mistakes and a lax attitude. It will give them the illusion that your fifth house is easy to bully. After bullying, you don't have to bear any consequences, and you can still
Eat chicken."
"So, I don't agree with you, Fifth Aunt, to send chickens over. Not only can't you do it, but in the following period, you have to deliberately leave some of Lao Wang's family alone, so that everyone can see that you are a person with principles and bottom lines.
, whoever bullies Mianmian again in the future will have to think carefully."
Mianmian nodded vigorously, her eyes red with excitement.
She also had a lot of things she wanted to say, but she didn't know where to start. Sister Qing'er was so powerful that she said everything in her heart.
There were some things she didn't expect, but Sister Qing'er also said them out. It was so relaxing and so satisfying!
Mrs. Sun couldn't help but said: "Suyun, Qing'er is right, you have such a good temper. We, Mianmian, are not the only ones who have been bullied this time..."
Xiangzi teased Mianmian before, but Mianmian didn't dare to tell Bao Suyun.
It was Jiang Guiling who saw the clues and asked indirectly. If Jiang Guiling didn't notice, Mianmian might really be bullied by Xiangzi.
Even if you are not bullied, you still have to live on tenterhooks.
Why did Mianmian refuse to tell his own mother to ask for help?
The reason is simply because my mother has a soft temper, and even if I knew about it, I might not be able to protect her!
All four people in the hall knew these words, including Bao Suyun himself.
Bao Suyun looked sad, looked at Mianmian with distressed and guilty eyes, and murmured softly: "It's my useless mother, you have been wronged..."
Mianmian also recovered from those bad memories and shook her head hurriedly, "Mom, let's not talk about the past, let's talk about the present. You must not give away this chicken now..."
Sun also said: "Yes, Suyun, it's not necessary."
Yang Ruoqing picked up the tea again and drank it slowly.
She has already said the truth. Whether she can listen to it or not depends on the fifth aunt herself.
Bao Suyun gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then I won't give you chickens. It's not interesting to give them as gifts."
"I won't go to Lao Wang's house these days. At least, I won't go to Lao Wang's house even if Wang Chunhua is there for a day."
Yang Ruoqing gave a thumbs up to Bao Suyun: "Fifth Aunt, this is right, you must hold on!"
Bao Suyun smiled sheepishly.
Yang Ruoqing finished her tea, stood up and said to Mianmian: "Mianmian, come with me to see your sister-in-law."
"Eh!"
Mianmian responded, stepped forward and took Yang Ruoqing's arm, and together they went to the backyard to talk to Jiang Guiling.
In the hall, Bao Suyun stood up, refilled the tea bowl in front of Mrs. Sun, and sat down next to Mrs. Sun.
