The Shocking and Extraordinary Romance of the Great Sage

Fortunately, Yayi is an honest official, so he shackles Mr. Yin, a man who bullies others, extorts, exploits, and is corrupt, and puts him in jail. The butcher's disciples and servants, who were also responsible for having an affair with criminals and helping Indian criminals behind their backs to scare and threaten the butcher, were each slapped with twenty boards and punished by kneeling in front of the wall for three days.

Ten days later, the chief clerk of the Yamen came to tell Tu Shisheng to collect the first batch of compensation. The butcher first received the value of thirty pigs and put a big bag of money in it, which was very satisfying. When he saw Zhang Guolao, he thanked him and took out ten taels of silver to express his gratitude. How could the old man accept it? He resolutely returned it to the butcher. He smiled and beat the fishing drum and sang:

There are many honest officials in the world, but good officials and bad officials are extraordinary.

Mountains and streams are easy to rise and easy to retreat, easy to reverse and easily reversed by villains.

I advise you to be kind to others and not to be selfish and greedy.

In fact, there is endless joy in helping others, and you can live your life on the right path.

After the song, he sang again:

An honest heart cannot be bought with gold.

The heart is torn into pieces, and it’s hard to buy a needle if you have money.

When we are close, we are prone to hate, but when we are far away, we become close.

Horsepower is known through long journeys, and sincerity is revealed over time.

Driving customers to the shop is a fool's errand.

Good intentions speak the truth, bad intentions speak falsely.

No one can tell anyone, and no one can tell anyone.

The waves behind push the waves ahead, and the new ones drive out the old ones.

Tu Shisheng was fascinated by what he heard and repeated Zhang Guolao's words:"In fact, there is endless joy in helping others." He was silent and thoughtful, thinking about doing something good with the silver and copper coins. I went home and told my parents what was on my mind. My parents agreed very much, and they worked together to build bridges and roads, and used the money to do good deeds.

Tu Shisheng got up early and went to bed late. He hired some skilled craftsmen and started building bridges and roads. Use the morning and evening to plan and build on site. In less than half a year, a seven-hole arch bridge was built, and the long roads at both ends were repaired, which won the praise of the people.

It is said that there was a neighbor named Teng who lived across from Tu Shisheng's house, door to door, but never interacted with him. The name of the person named Teng is Jiadu, and the Teng family is Du. He is one year older than Tu Shisheng, and they often played together when they were young. Later, the only father of the Teng family forbade his son to associate with the butcher's family, saying that the pig butcher was too despicable, and if they were together too often, they would be useless when they grow up. Being together would make the neighbors look down on them, and they would lose face.

The adults of the Tengtu family had an argument over some trivial matter in front of the door, which made their necks and faces red. The Teng family listened to his father's guidance, pointing at the bridge of his former companion Tu Shisheng's nose and scolding:"Pig killer! Too despicable! There is no future!" However, a few years later, Tu Shisheng had just learned to pick up a knife and was able to kill pigs. Both elders of the Teng family have passed away.

The only two sisters in the Teng family are married, and he is in charge of the family business. The Teng family has been merchants for generations, but in the sole hands of the Teng family, they were almost defeated.

Helpless, the Teng family is the only one who can support his wife, so he can serve as a loan shark. When doing business, you should not go out to do business when it is too cold or too hot, or it rains. When the rest of the day comes, he picks up a load of small groceries, of which there are more than a hundred kinds at least. He holds the load with his left hand and shakes it with his right hand, shouting as he walks.

Even so, the Teng family still looked down upon the Tu family. Once the Teng family passed by the pork rack in the East Market, they laughed at the butcher several times. There were two women who came to buy trinkets. One was fat and the other was thin. The fat one said:"Little sister, you came so quickly today." The thin woman said:"Fat sister, the pig-killing boy Tu Shisheng, repaired the seven holes of the throne." It's much more convenient to cross the river without having to walk a long way to scratch the bend." The fat woman smiled and said:"The road at this end of the bridge used to be full of potholes, and I would still be injured if I stepped over it. Now, The butcher took out his own money and smoothed the road, so he is no longer afraid of walking on that road." The thin woman said:"Butcher Shisheng, a great kind man, I hope God protects the butcher Shisheng."
