In an ancient village, there lived a farmer named Li Dazhuang. He was hard-working and honest, going out early and returning late every day to cultivate his land. One day, Li Dazhuang went to the town market and saw a piece of fine cloth he wanted to buy to make clothes. However, the price of the cloth was too high, and Li Dazhuang was broke. At that moment, a merchant named Wang Ergou noticed Li Dazhuang's interest and offered to sell him the cloth at a lower price. Li Dazhuang was overjoyed and thanked Wang Ergou profusely. Back home, Li Dazhuang excitedly showed the cloth to his wife and told her that Wang Ergou had sold it to him at a lower price. However, Li Dazhuang's wife was not happy. She suspected Wang Ergou of being deceitful and was worried that there was something wrong with the cloth. Li Dazhuang didn't think so. He believed that Wang Ergou was an honest man who wouldn't cheat him. The next day, Li Dazhuang went to town to find Wang Ergou and pay him for the cloth. But when he arrived at Wang Ergou's shop, he found that the shop was closed, and Wang Ergou was nowhere to be found. Li Dazhuang panicked. He realized that his wife might have been right, and he had been tricked by Wang Ergou. He asked around for Wang Ergou's whereabouts and went to Wang Ergou's house many times, but Wang Ergou always avoided him. Li Dazhuang was relentless, running around everywhere, determined to find Wang Ergou and get justice. Li Dazhuang's relentless efforts touched the hearts of many people. Eventually, he found Wang Ergou and successfully recovered his money for the cloth.
