Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

The Cai family has always been a single-line family. Old Master Cai has only one son, Cai Chengping, and Cai Chengping has only one son, Cai Junyi.

Cai Chengping had no talent for studying. He took the exam more than ten times before he passed. He also knew that he was not cut out for studying, so he never took the exam again. He learned accounting from Mr. Cai, followed in his father's footsteps, took over Mr. Cai's original job, and became an accountant.

Mr. Cai is now over 50 years old and in poor health. He lives in the west wing and usually does not go out. Occasionally, he has to take some medicine to regulate his body.

Cai Junyi was different from his grandfather and father. He had a talent for studying. He passed the examination for a student at the age of ten and was a well-known genius scholar in the surrounding villages.

Later, he was admitted to Zhulu Academy, the first academy in Huihai County, as an exception and became a seed student cultivated by the academy.

The Cai family has been kind to others for generations and has a good reputation in the village.

Everyone in the village envied the Cai family for having such a promising son, and the Cai family was proud of it. After all, several generations of the Cai family had hoped that a descendant would pass the imperial examination and gain a good reputation, thus changing the family fortune and bringing honor to the ancestors.

Everyone in the village said that the boy from the Cai family was blessed, the only drawback being that he had an inappropriate marriage.

Speaking of the girl who was engaged to Cai Junyi, there are so many stories about her.

Although Sun Mingzhu's name is Mingzhu, she has nothing to do with Mingzhu at all.

She is the only girl in the family, and her mother is a stubborn and shrewish woman. She has been spoiled since she was a child, and has become arrogant and perverse in character.

Sun Mingzhu looks like a replica of Sun Pozi, with a round face, a big mouth, thin lips, dark yellow skin and a pair of rolling eyes, just like a gray rat spirit.

She was also greedy and ate a lot, so she was fat and strong. She was about 1.7 meters tall and had a fat body. If she hadn't been wearing women's clothes, she would have looked rougher than an ordinary man.

Normally, she felt that she had a scholar fiancé, so she showed off in front of others and looked down on other girls in the village. She had a very bad relationship with others.

She often mocked the girls in the village for their miserable fates, saying that they would only be able to marry peasants and live a hard life facing the earth and back to the sky.

But she is different. In the future she will be an official's wife, live in a big house, wear silk and satin, have maids and servants to serve her, and in the future she can even become a lady of imperial decree and be a superior person.

Because he is such a mean person and has such a bad mouth, Sun Mingzhu has almost no friends in the village.

She often came to Cai's house wearing bright red and green to harass Cai Junyi. She spoke in a husky voice, thinking she was a lady from a wealthy family. She spoke in a pretentious manner and flirted with Cai Junyi.

Cai Junyi was so annoyed that he hid in academy to study and refused to go home for ten days or half a month.

Although they hated Sun Mingzhu, the Cai family was really nice to her. Because the Cai family were grateful people, they basically responded to any request from the Sun family.

As a result, the Sun family became spoiled and became more and more demanding, often coming to the house to ask for money under various pretexts.

Today he took the meat to nourish Cai Junyi, and tomorrow he took the cloth from the bottom of Zhao's box. In short, he never left empty-handed and always got what he wanted.

After much trouble, they both reached adulthood and it was time to get married.

The Sun family would come to urge them to get it done before the date even started, urging them to get it done sooner so that Brother Yi could study with peace of mind after he got married and started a family; they would also urge them to increase the betrothal gifts, and kept mentioning the kindness they had shown them in the past.

But man proposes, God disposes, and Cai Junyi got into trouble in the academy.

The man was carried back by several classmates. Zhao still remembers the miserable condition of her son. He was already unconscious, with his right wrist wrapped in bloody gauze and bent at a strange angle.

The Cai family’s sky seemed to have collapsed, and Zhao cried her heart out.

Old Master Cai asked for help, mobilized all the connections he could, found the best bonesetter he could find, and spent all his life savings, and finally managed to have his grandson's hand reattached.

However, the expensive tonic prescribed by the doctor turned out to be a bottomless pit of money.

Everything that could be sold at home was sold, including the seven or eight year old ox, and everything that could be pawned as dowry left by Zhao and her mother-in-law was pawned. However, all the money added up was not enough to cover the money that was being spent like water.

Finally, he even rented out the east wing that was used for his son's new wife, and it was barely enough to cover the current medical expenses.

Cai Junyi took medicine for more than half a month, but his condition did not improve. Instead, he became weaker and weaker.

Mr. and Mrs. Cai Chengping thought that their son was wronged and was depressed, which led to his worsening health.

They tried to ask their son what happened that day, but whenever they brought it up, he would turn his face away and cry silently.

Afraid that their son would be too sad and unable to get over it, they did not dare to ask any more questions.

Grandma Sun looked at Cai Chengping and his wife arrogantly, shouting, "Hurry up and bring the marriage certificate! Cancel the engagement! Do you think we are fools? It has been spread all over the village that your son is useless. Not only can he not take the imperial examination, he can't even get out of bed.

What's the matter? Do you expect me, a young girl, to be your widow? "

This is indeed a vicious statement.

At this time, a group of villagers who were watching the fun had gathered in front of the Cai family's door, pointing and talking at the Sun family.

"I say, Sun family, there's no need to be so ruthless. The Cai family has helped you so much in the past." Someone spoke up for the injustice.

Grandma Sun didn't care about the villagers' pointing and attacking the man. "It's none of your business. You are just meddling in other people's business. What's the big deal about taking something from them? If it weren't for my father-in-law, the old man of the Cai family would have died long ago. There would be no Cai family today. There would be no descendants long ago!"

The man was sprayed with stinky spit by Grandma Sun. He covered his face and stepped back a few steps, saying, "If I were to say, the Cai family would have repaid the kindness of the past. When your mother-in-law had a difficult delivery, if the Cai family had not sent her to the county hospital in a bullock cart overnight, and contributed both money and manpower, who knows whose family would have been wiped out!"

"That's right! Don't think that the villagers can't see it. Everyone knows what is right and wrong!" said a villager. She couldn't stand the Sun family's leech-sucking blood-like behavior.

An old lady recalled: "I can testify to this. I was there. The Sun family's wife was so pregnant that she cried all night but didn't give birth. She was breathing more than she was breathing out. If the Cai family hadn't sent her to the county town in time, there would have been two dead bodies."

"Yes, Old Man Sun saved Old Man Cai's life, and he paid back two lives. He has already paid it back."

"I see that the interest has been paid off. Now, they are just taking advantage of the Cai family because they are easy to talk to."

"I've taken advantage of them so many times over the years, but I still can't satisfy these ungrateful people. Now that the Cai family has just gotten into trouble, they're rushing to cancel the engagement. How cold-blooded!"

"You are ruining the morale of our village. When has our village ever produced such an ungrateful and ungrateful person?"

The Sun family has always been a thief and bully, and now that someone has taken the lead, it's like firecrackers are lit. All those who have been bullied in the past have started to speak out and accuse the Sun family of all their faults. This shows how unpopular the Cai family is in Fushui Village.

Datou glanced at Grandma Sun, whose face had turned green with anger, and said cheerfully, "It's what you deserve! You evil woman, you even bullied someone as nice as Aunt Zhao, you deserve to be scolded! You should drive this whole family out of the village, it's really like one bad apple spoils the whole barrel."

The sparrow smacked its lips and said, "I didn't expect that it was Aunt Zhao's son who got sick. How pitiful! Good people don't get rewarded. Why didn't she let that evil woman get sick? There would be one less scourge in the village."

They have been busy weaving wicker boxes recently and have hardly left the yard, so they don't know much about the situation in Fu Shui Village.
