My mother died when Min was young, and my father married his stepmother and gave birth to two younger brothers. This stepmother treats him badly and abuses him every day. I gave all my cotton-padded clothes to my two younger brothers, but all my clothes for Min Min were filled with reeds. One day, Min Min pulled his father out with an ox cart, because Lu Hua couldn't keep out the cold, and he was shivering with cold. As a result, the reins he led fell to the ground. Father thinks he is useless. Seeing the trembling coward getting more and more annoyed, I picked up a whip and beat him hard. Min Min didn't resist at all, so he let his father smoke until his clothes split and reeds flew all over the sky with the whip. His father realized that the child was frozen and his evil wife abused the child, but he still hit him without knowing it.
The angry father found his second wife and wanted to divorce her to vent his anger at Min. The woman sat on the ground crying.
At this time, Min Min stopped his father and knelt down to beg his father to forgive his stepmother. He said, "I was the only one who snubbed my mother, but without my mother, I had to be snubbed by three children." In that case, why not bear it alone? " He forgave his stepmother when his father saw him begging on his knees. My stepmother was very moved to see Min's virtue. From then on, she treated him like her own son, and she would never be partial again.
