Even in antiquity, people noticed that life is full of vicissitudes and each act can lead to the most unexpected consequences. So, a certain scientist who excelled at the exams in the capital, reporting this in a letter to his wife, thoughtlessly joked that they supposedly got bored alone and took a concubine. The wife joked in response: she got bored and got married. Their letters fell into the wrong hands, everything was taken seriously, it reached the emperor - and the scientist lost his high post. Here's a joke! But our story is different.
Someone Liu was not favored by fate. Every day things were getting worse and worse: he was completely impoverished. From his first wife, Ms. Wang, he had no children. Before even going broke, he took his second wife to the house. All three lived in love and harmony and hoped for better times. Once at the birthday of the father-in-law, the father of the first wife, they talked about the plight of the family. The father-in-law lent fifteen bundles of coins to his son-in-law, so that he would open trade, and tell his daughter to stay in his parents' house, until her husband’s affairs improve. Liu took the money and went to his second wife, who was guarding the house. On the way, I turned to a friend to consult how best to manage money, and drank too much. I came home under a hop, and to the question of my second wife, take a blink: they say, I sold you to one person, and I got a deposit. He said and fell asleep.
And the second wife decided to go to her parents to wait for a buyer there. But at night alone it’s scary to go, so she spent the night at an old neighbor, and set off on the road in the morning. Meanwhile, a player who lost in the dust wandered into the house of a sleeping husband. He dreamed of stealing something, and here is such a pile of money. But the husband woke up, he wanted to raise a cry, only the thief grabbed an ax and decided the unfortunate one. The body was found. The second wife was suspected of murder, who was seized on the way to her parents. Unfortunately, her random companion, who sold silk, found fifteen bundles of coins in the bag. The judge did not want to delve into the case, everything testified against the suspects. They were executed.
Meanwhile, the first wife mourned for a year, and then decided to move to her father’s house. On the way, she fell into the clutches of the robbers and, in order to avoid reprisal, agreed to become the wife of their leader. They lived happily, the wife persuaded her husband to give up the terrible craft and engage in trade. He agreed. And once he confessed to his wife murder. From his story, the woman realized that he was the killer of her first husband. She hastened to the judge to the city and revealed everything to him. The robber was captured. He confessed everything. When his head rolled off his shoulders in a frontal place, the widow sacrificed her to her first husband, his second wife and her innocent companion.
These are the disasters a random joke entailed!
