The Karma of Paving Roads in the Year of the Horse

share time: 2026-02-24 06:21:34

In the spring of the Year of the Horse, Lao Zhou, a rural contractor, took on the village entrance road renovation. He found a homeless man Ah Ma living in a shanty by the road and quietly shifted the route half a meter to save the shelter, even though it exceeded the budget by 2,000 yuan. Days later, steel bars were stolen from the site. The supervisor accused Lao Zhou of theft, demanding to deduct all his wages and make him compensate. Desperate, Lao Zhou was about to jump into the river when Ah Ma showed a yellowed photo—he was the former village Party secretary framed ten years ago for exposing corruption, with the ledger hidden under the shanty. Lao Zhou's kindness made him help clear Lao Zhou's name. Finally, the black-hearted supplier was caught. Lao Zhou got his wages back and married Ah Ma's daughter, a student he had helped years ago. The so-called "evil retribution" was just a villain's trap; kindness is never unrewarded.
