Evil debt

 


Evil debt

 

Chu Sanxing chatted with Agudengba about debt collectors. Agudengba talked about the principles of cause and effect and reincarnation. Chu Sanxing talked about a debt story in his memory.

Chu Sanxing said:

There is a Piao village by the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar. There is a wealthy man in the village who is kind-hearted and has a prosperous family. The ancestors of this wealthy man came from the Buddha's tribe in North India. They retained many Indian cultural customs and entered Myanmar from Assam, India, around AD. Later, according to legend, in 200 BC, the Pyu people entered the upper reaches of the Irrawaddy River, controlled this area, and controlled the trade route between China and India.

The ancestors of Wen Caizhu were originally from the Piao tribe. Later, they made a fortune doing business in Bagan City and settled here.

At that time, there was a Piao town outside the city. There was a Piao village in the town. There lived a bricklayer named Su Dengsheng. He often went to the house of Wen Wen to do odd jobs. Wen Wen saw that he worked hard and paid more every time. Su Thein Sein was also very grateful for some wages.

Over time, the two of them became familiar with each other and often drank and chatted together. Wen Wen had great trust in Su Thein Sein.

This summer, Mr. Wen and his family were going back to their hometown in Shan State to visit relatives, saying they were going to live there for a month. Wen Wen came to Su Dengsheng and said, "Little brother, I have been away for a long time this time, and I want to ask you to help me with something."

Su Dengsheng said: "Mr. Wen, you treat me well. If you have anything to say, just ask me. As long as I can do it, I will do it without any hesitation!"

Wen Wen said: "I have a batch of good wine stored in my house. I'm afraid that the servants will drink it secretly after we leave. I want to put it in your house for safekeeping for a few days. Do you think it's okay?"

Su Deng Sheng said with a smile: "Isn't this a trivial matter? I happen to have a cellar in my house. You can use it to store it. When you come back, I will definitely 'return it to Zhao intact'!"

In this way, that evening, Su Dengsheng pulled a donkey cart and transported thirty jars of his family's wine to his cellar with Wen Wen. In order to reassure Wen Wen, he placed a big stone on the entrance of the cellar.

The next day, Rich Man Wen took his whole family on the road back to his hometown with peace of mind.

Chu Sanxing continued:

Half a month passed. That night, Su Dengsheng drank some wine and lay in bed unable to sleep. He suddenly remembered the wine that Wen Wen had stored at home. Out of curiosity, he wanted to take advantage of the silence of the night to take a look at what it was. liquor.

So he sneaked into the cellar alone and saw that the thirty wine jars were all sealed with brown paper, and the three characters "Bagan Wine" were written on each jar in red paper.

He put his nose to a wine jar and smelled it, but there was no smell of wine at all. He shook the wine jar again with his hand. The sound coming from inside was not the sound of wine shaking, but like something hard object colliding with it. sound.

Out of curiosity, he opened a wine jar, and the sight in front of him surprised him: the wine jar was not wine at all, but a jar full of white silver!

Su Densheng opened the remaining twenty-nine wine jars, and they were all filled with silver! He counted and found that the silver was exactly three thousand taels.

The first thought that flashed through Su Thein Sein’s mind was: I’m rich! In the face of money, he had already thrown away his original promise.

In this way, Su Theng Sein sat guarding the money all night. Early the next morning, he hurriedly called his wife, who was also shocked by what she saw.

After some discussion, the couple poured out the three thousand taels of silver and buried them all in the backyard.

Su Densheng went to the restaurant to buy another batch of wine and poured it all into the thirty wine jars.

For this reason, he was still very proud, thinking that this clever plan was really clever, and Rich Man Wen would definitely not be able to do anything to him.

Chu Sanxing glanced at Agudengba and said:

A month later, Wen returned from Shan State, and Su Thein Sein returned the thirty jars of wine to him.

At night, Rich Man Wen opened the wine jar and was dumbfounded when he saw that the silver had turned into wine!

He immediately understood that his life savings had been taken for himself by Su Thein Sein. Wen Wen went to find Su Dengsheng overnight. He had already decided that he only needed half of the money and the other half would be used as a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Su Thein Sein did not admit that he exchanged wine for money. He wanted to keep it all for himself!

Wen Wen was in trouble because when the wine jar was delivered to his house, he said it contained wine, and the servants all heard it. Now, even if he reports to the official, he has no evidence!

Wen Wen had no choice but to walk back home depressed. After a sudden burst of anger, Wen fell ill and died of depression within a few days.

After Mr. Wen died, Su Dengsheng was relieved. He used the money to buy a big house, which was decorated so luxuriously that he couldn't help but sigh: Now I have become a master!

People are in high spirits when happy events happen. His wife, who had not been pregnant for many years, unexpectedly got pregnant soon, which made Su Dengsheng smile from ear to ear.

In a blink of an eye, the day came when his wife was due to give birth, and Su Thein Sein received the midwife at home a few days in advance. He paid great attention to the child.

That night, Su Thein Sein had a dream not long after he fell asleep. He dreamed that Mr. Wen came over with a smile. He walked slowly to Su Thein Sein carrying an empty sack.

Su Thein Sein was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He said, "What are you doing here? Aren't you dead?"

Rich Man Wen's expression suddenly changed and he said sternly: "I'm here to collect debts!"

Su Dengsheng suddenly woke up in a cold sweat. Before he could recover from the dream, the door suddenly opened and the midwife told him happily: "Congratulations, my wife has given birth to a big fat boy!"

Su Thein Sein hurriedly got up and went to see it, leaving this nightmare behind...

Chu Sanxing sighed to Agudengba:

Su Thein Sein was very doting on his hard-won son. He would buy whatever he wanted and never let him suffer at all.

Under the pampering of his father, his son spent money like water since he was a child. He has no ability to study and work, but he knows how to eat, drink and have fun better than anyone else.

At the age of eighteen, Su Thein Sein could no longer control him, and he also snatched the key to the cash box at home. Not only that, his son was not filial to Su Thein Sein at all. He also said that he would inherit the family property sooner or later, so it was better to hand it over to him as soon as possible.

Su Thein Sein was half-mad with his son every day, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who could he blame for the evil he had done? The son takes money from home every day, either to go to a brothel or a casino, or to gather a group of friends to eat, drink and have fun, and all the money comes from him. He has never made money with his sweat, and people who don’t know how to make money are not good at it. easy……

When his son was twenty years old, the family property had been squandered. On this day, Su Thensheng, who had been ill for many days, was lying on the bed dying. In a daze, he dreamed of Wen Wen again. This time, the big sack behind Wen Wen had become bulging. He waved to Su Thensheng and said: "The debt you owed me has now been paid off, and it's time for me to leave. Let's stay together indefinitely!"

At this moment, Su Thein Sein was woken up by a fierce knock on the door. Then, a group of Shan men broke in. Each of these people looked like a ferocious spirit. The leader took out a piece of paper and said: "Your son We have lost this house, here is the certificate, you get out of here quickly, we are here to collect the house!"

Su Dengsheng smiled bitterly and murmured: "My debt has finally been paid off!" After saying that, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, and he fell to the ground, no longer alive...

Agudengba said to Chu Sanxing:

There is a popular saying among Chinese people, which is called "A son repays his father"

When two enemies who had a deep feud in the previous life were reincarnated into the next life, many parents would often call their children "debt collectors" because they were troubled. This is the principle of reincarnation.

Chu Sanxing sang a song "Debt" in Burmese:

 

After the death of a young child,

Reborn as a debt collector,

To avenge my parents,

Fulfill filial piety and claim debts from previous lives.

 

Debt collectors are naughty boys;

Revenge for sinful debts comes in many forms,

Cause and effect are all predestined in previous lives.

Debt from past lives begins with bad karma.

  1. Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fableskes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s di masease.
