Chapter 6 The Story of Judt and Two Brothers-1

Once upon a time, there was a merchant named Hamai.He has three sons, the eldest is Sal, the second is Moyo, and the youngest is Jut.Hamai worked hard to bring up his three sons, but he loved his younger son Jut too much, and as a result Jut was jealous of his two older brothers. Hamai was old, and seeing his two elder brothers discriminating against his younger son, he was deeply afraid that his younger son would be bullied after his death. Therefore, he invited his clansmen, judges, and some people of high esteem to donate his money, material goods, etc. , placed them before them, and said:

"Please divide these properties into four according to the law." Everyone followed his instructions and divided up their belongings. Ha Mai distributed three of them to his three sons, and kept one for himself as a pension.Then he said: "I have distributed all my property to them, and from now on I owe them nothing, and there is no favoritism among their brothers. I divided my property among them while I was alive, so that they would not make a fuss over my inheritance after my death.My own pension will be used to support my wife. " Soon, Hammai died. Dissatisfied with the distribution of property, the eldest brother and the second child went to trouble Judt and asked him to hand over some property.They said to him, "All my father's property has been given to you."

So the brothers quarreled endlessly, and even went to court.Everyone present at the scene of the branch family testified in court that day. Based on the facts, the judge stopped the blackmail of Judt's two brothers.After the lawsuit, both Judt and his two brothers spent money, and no one took advantage. Not long after, Judt's two older brothers went to denounce him again.In order to fight the lawsuit, the two sides spent a lot of wronged money. The lawsuit was not won, and Judt's two elder brothers were still unwilling to reconcile and always wanted to take away his property.They began to take crooked ways and bribe corrupt officials with money.Judt is also tired of coping, always spending money wrongly with him.The money of the three brothers fell into the hands of corrupt officials day by day, and they all became paupers in the end.

The eldest and the second child were so poor that they went to find the old mother, bullied and beat her in every possible way, and finally drove her away. They usurped the mother's property.Crying, the mother found Judt and said, "Your two older brothers beat me, drove me away, and robbed me of my property." She cursed as she spoke. Jut comforted her and said: "Mom, don't curse. They are so disobedient and unfilial, they will be punished by Allah. Mom, now I am poor, and my two elder brothers are also extremely poor. Brothers are at odds, and there have been several lawsuits. I didn’t get any benefits, but spent all the property left by my father and made others laugh at us. Now, I can’t argue with them and go to court again because of their unfilial piety? Forget it. Stay here, and I will provide for you sparingly. I only hope that you can pray for me. Allah will reward us with food and clothing. As for the two elder brothers, Allah will punish them."

Judt tried to comfort his mother, until she calmed down and agreed to stay, and then went out to fish with a fishing net. Judt makes a living by fishing. He often goes fishing in lakes and seas. Sometimes he catches ten fish, sometimes twenty, and at most thirty.With the money he earned from selling fish, he supported himself and his mother, and his life gradually improved, with no worries about food and clothing.On the contrary, his two elder brothers are lazy and have nothing to do. They hang around with a group of hooligans all day long.Soon, he spent all the property he had snatched from his mother, and soon became a beggar.

They had no choice but to find their mother secretly and complain to her for some food.The mother was very kind and wanted to take care of them. She often gave them some bread to satisfy their hunger, and told them: "You eat and go quickly. Your brother's life is not rich. If he sees it, he will blame me." One day, she was giving something to the eldest and second child, when Judt happened to come home.The mother felt ashamed and afraid that he would be angry, but Judt smiled and said, "How are you two brothers! You are welcome to come and see us!" He hugged his brothers, smiled sincerely and kindly, and said:

"I really hope you will come to visit my mother and me often, otherwise, we will feel lonely." "I swear to Allah, we have always missed you, but were embarrassed to see you. We were ashamed of what happened in the past, and now we regret it very much. It was all caused by the devil, may Allah bless us. Our brothers are separated, and indeed there is no Happiness to speak of." Seeing the reconciliation of the sons, the mother was very happy, and said to Judt: "Son, thanks to the grace of Allah, your income is increasing day by day, and we are a wealthy family."

"Yes," said Judt, "Allah is merciful, and we live in good health. I welcome my two brothers to live here, and let us live together."
