This story takes place in ancient Jingzhou, Hubei: It is said that during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a public security county under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou. In the old town of the county, there was a poor couple of the Jiang family. They were separated by their parents to make a living independently within two months of their marriage. In order to make a living, he started his own business several times during his childhood, but was repeatedly plotted against him, and his family was almost destroyed. It wasn't until he was nearly fifty that he saved up some money and bought two old houses.
At this time, the couple had no children, and they thought they just wanted to have a boy as their adopted son so that they would have someone to rely on when they grow old. That year coincided with the Yellow River flooding, and many embankments collapsed in Henan Province alone. Countless people died, and the survivors fled in all directions to make a living by begging. A boy who had just turned twelve years old came to Gongan County with the army of beggars, and was taken in by the Jiang family to be raised as a son.
It's a coincidence that not long after the child came to the Jiang family, a shocking news happened to the Jiang family: hundreds of millions of taels of gold and silver emerged from the ground of his house! From then on, the Jiang family prospered and the wonderful lives of several generations of their family were demonstrated.
