Chinese Traditional Story: The Consequences of a Wrong Thought

There was a scholar in the Ming Dynasty who was born into a very wealthy family. His parents engaged him to a girl from another wealthy family when he was young. His parents were very kind people and often gave money to help others. In the end, they had even used up all the family property just to help others. Finally, by the time his parents passed away, their family was no different from ordinary families. At this time, he gradually grew up, and it was time to get married. Meanwhile, the other wealthy family regretted the engagement because they did not want to marry their daughter a poor young man. But in ancient China, people paid great attention to their trustworthiness.
