Before liberation, there was an honest man named Dabao in the village, his family was alone, usually doing odd jobs for the landlord's family to earn some money. There are widows and orphans in the village, or who can't eat and drink, he would rather starve and eat less than one meal to help people.

Because of this kind of Dabao, many people in the village are willing to hire him to work. This year the rainy season is approaching, and one day the village Hu's widow asked him to go to repair the house. The widow was not a local, said to be a fugitive from the famine, and brought a three-year-old child.

By the time it was completely dark, the house was finally repaired, and the widow took charge of Dabao after the meal when the sky was overcast and it was about to rain. So the widow said to him: "Brother you see the day is so late, or you do not go, in the outer room I give you to clean up to live for a night, tomorrow the day is good and then go."

Dabao was honest, and when he thought it was not right, he said, "Big sister! You're a widow and orphan, it's not appropriate for me to live here as a man, and it's not good for your reputation in the future. I'd better go!"

Dabao said he got up and left, and before he could get out of the door, he heard a thunderstorm, followed by a downpour of rain, and the widow's three-year-old child cried, "Mom, I'm scared, I'm scared." Widow Hu also said, "Brother! It's raining so hard you don't want to go."

Dabao felt sorry for the mother and son, and turned around and picked up the child, "Come on, don't be afraid, let Uncle hold you, it's just thunder! Don't be afraid." Dabao is big, their shoulders are also wide, and the child who climbed on his shoulders did not cry.

But at this moment, the sky is very strange thunder, running to the house one after another, just do not fall. Dabao also wondered there! This thunder how to keep splitting to this one place ah? Fortunately, I did not go, or else to go halfway this lightning will not kill me.

Finally until morning when it was almost dawn, it was not thundering and the rain had stopped, Dabao said to the widow Hu: "Big sister ah! The house is not leaking, the child is not crying now, you see if the money for the work to me, I can go back, the dawn let others see is not good."

Hu widow said, "Okay, big brother how much do you repair the house ah?"

"It's not easy for you two, just give five dazi, it's not a particularly tiring job anyway." Dabao Felt embarrassed too Frankfort this sedative.

"Big brother ah! You also do not say five Dazi six, I give you how much, you receive how much can ah!" After the widow finished, she went back to the house and took out a jar.

After opening it, Dabao took a look inside, and it turned out to be ten large gold yuan Bao, Dabao hurriedly said: "Big sister, I do this work for you is not worth so much money, I can not take it!"

Widow Hu said, "Brother! I know you're a good man, take this money and sell some land, build a house, and get a wife."

Dabao said to the widow: "Sister, it's not easy for you to bring up a child, so use the money to build a new house to save the child from being afraid on thunder days and to save me from repairing your house. You! Just give me five dako!"

The widow had no choice, so she said, "Brother! I'll tell you the truth, I'm not a human being. My name is Hu Mei Niang, I am a fox fairy who has been cultivating on the mountain for a thousand years. Because of love with a mortal, was punished by heaven, although her husband died early, the child to tide over the thunderbolt at this level. Fortunately, yesterday you came to me to repair the house, big brother you are a person of great virtue, with the blessing of God and Buddha, the thunder gods do not dare to hurt you. I and the child is also saved by you, this is also the will of God. I have nothing to repay, and this treasure is of no use to me, so just take it! So that I can feel at ease."

At this moment Dabao is dumbfounded, no wonder the thunder old around the house split, I can not imagine that the original mother and son in this thunder tribulation. But at the end of the day, he said he didn't want the treasure. Hu's widow also had no choice but to give him five large sons, and then shouted the child over, crawling on the ground to Dabao kowtow, so that the child recognized Dabao as godfather. And then the mother and son a white smoke, disappeared.

So after two months, of heavy rain after a flood, Dabao's own broken house was water to soak collapsed. The old house is in a low-lying area, Dabao did not want to rebuild, so he looked for a similar place ready to build a house. When he was leveling the ground, three picks went down, and heard a clatter, Dabao took a look, it was the jar containing Yuanbao that the widow gave him!

Dabao held the jar and thought for half a day, it seems that the widow Hu really had to give me this thing ah! It looks like the money is also my right to get, no I want it!

From then on, Dabao took the ten gold yuan treasure, set up a home, married, and had children to live a good life. After all, it is the origin of the poor, he knows the hardships of the people at the bottom, although they are rich, still as before, giving food and drink to the poor, never do for the rich unkind things ......
