Disciples

Chapter 53

Original
He said long, this said short;
Don't care about yourself, don't mind meddling.

Translation
The public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the old woman is right. Right and wrong, it is difficult to explain other people's affairs clearly.If it has nothing to do with yourself, don't meddle in other people's business.

allusion
A long time ago, there lived a mother and son in a village.They depended on each other for survival by picking up waste and mending.

One day, it rained heavily from the sky.Seeing that the house was about to collapse, a beautiful and kind girl came to the house.The girl held a small boat in her hand and said "change" in her mouth, and the small boat carried the two of them down the river.The woman told them not to rescue anyone along the way.

The boat carried the mother and daughter along the river, and suddenly heard a child calling for help in the water. The mother and son were resigned and rescued the child.The aunt recognized the rescued child as her godson and named him "Dalu".In this way, ten years have passed in a flash.

One day, the emperor put up a list to call for rare treasures from all over the world, and promised that any rare treasures presented would be rewarded to high-ranking officials with rich salary.The aunt gave the boat to Dalu, told him to present the treasure, and told him to be a good man in the future.Dalu nodded in agreement.Later, he presented the treasure boat and got an official position as expected.But since Dalu became an official, he spends his days drinking and drinking, plundering people's fat, and commits all kinds of evil, so he has thrown his mother's exhortations into the sky.

One day, Dalu came to his hometown to collect taxes.The aunt tried her best to persuade him to do good deeds, but before the aunt finished speaking, she slapped the aunt on the road and knocked her down to the ground.

The next day, the mother and son rushed to the capital on the road.They reported Dalu's life experience and what he did after he became an official to the emperor one by one.Therefore, the emperor dismissed Dalu's official position.
