The origin of Shijiazhuang

Once upon a time, there was a family in a small mountain village. Men are soldiers outside, women do housework at home, and life is ok.

Later, men who were soldiers went out to eat, drink, go whoring and gamble, lost everything and broke up with their diligent daughter-in-law. Women have no way out and have to beg everywhere.

? One day, she came to a village to beg for food. At this time, the sun had set in the western hills, so she asked the villagers to stay for the night. Some people say that the rich man's house in this village has a yard for you to spend the night, but I just heard that it is often haunted at night. I wonder if you dare to go? The woman thought: I am a beggar, I wish I had a place to live, but I don't care so much. He made an agreement with the rich man to settle down in that yard at night.

? Sleeping until midnight, she was awakened by the noise. When she opened her eyes, she saw a big fireball rolling in the room. She was shocked and almost cried out, staying on the kang. Don't lean, the fireball rolled to the east corner and disappeared. She got up before dawn and went to the place where the fireball disappeared last night with curiosity. There is a pit in the corner, and there is a jar of glittering silver in it. She rubbed her eyes and didn't believe what she saw. When she calmed down, she felt glad: Is this the day when I get rich? So before dawn, she quietly put the silver in a big bag and ran away.

She walked hundreds of miles in one breath before she dared to stop. After a short rest, I was afraid of meeting bad people, so I pretended to be a man and continued on my way. After walking for a few days, she came to a village. It happened that the village mainly sold houses and dozens of acres of land, so she bought them with money. She tore down the house and built it into a building, and hired a housekeeper and a long-term worker to settle down here. From then on, she became more and more prosperous and became the richest man in Shili Eight Villages.

On holidays, she sent servants to give some gifts to another rich man, thanking him for his help, and the other party also sent long-term workers to return some gifts. Once, she found that the rich man's long-term job included her ex-husband. When asked, I found out that my husband didn't take the right path and became a long-term worker here.

? She sent for her husband and said to him, "Do you still recognize me?" Her husband looked at the man in front of him and shook his head. She changed clothes. When her husband saw it, it turned out to be his wife. He was so sad and happy that he couldn't help crying. The man confessed his mistake to her, and the woman forgave him when she saw his sincere repentance. The second time, two people made up again. From then on, she stopped pretending to be a man and her husband took over the family affairs. There are just nine families in this village, plus his family, which is exactly ten families, so people named this village "Shijiazhuang". Later, it was misrepresented as "Shijiazhuang".
