Xu Family Old Stories

The ancestral precepts of the Xu family only have eight words: Blessings cannot be enjoyed early or spent in advance. Xu Shen was cautious and self-denial throughout his life. He went through famine, plague, exorbitant taxes and war, and managed to preserve the more than 200 acres of land left by his ancestors, as well as the dignity of the Xu family for decades. Only after he had a son in middle age, he made an exception. His son's real name was Xu Jingfu, but he gave his baby the nickname Fugui. The word "" comes a generation earlier. From then on, he was reluctant to let his son endure hardship, reluctant to let his son be punished, and reluctant to let him know where wealth came from. Until the child who was supported by the whole family walked into the gambling house. The land deeds, ancestral home, and family property all left the Xu family. Xu Shencai finally understood: The biggest mistake in his life was not giving his son the wrong name. Instead, all the hurdles that the son should have gone through by himself were removed for him. How long will it take to spend all the blessings accumulated over generations? This is a story about family business, father and son, doting and destiny. It is also a story about a rich young man who truly learned to "live" after falling into the dirt.
