Idiom story

In the spring and Autumn period, Wenbo, the father-in-law of the aristocratic son of Lu, inherited the title of the patriarchal doctor. He went back home to see his mother Jingjiang being soaked in hemp. Seeing his mother's hard work, he told her not to do this kind of work. His mother warned him to take part in the labor frequently, so that he would seriously think about problems, be kind to others, and those who were greedy for ease would only be extravagant.
