Origin Story

从前，在一个小村庄里，住着一位爱管闲事的张大妈。村里的大事小情，她都要插上一手。一次，王家和李家因为田地界限发生争执，张大妈听说后，不请自来，自作主张地帮他们调解。结果，她的调解不仅没能让双方满意，反而激化了矛盾，导致两家关系更加恶劣。后来，村里人纷纷对她避而远之，张大妈这才意识到自己多管闲事的坏处，后悔不已。从此以后，她再也不随便插手别人的事情了，专心过自己的日子。

Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived an old woman named Zhang who loved to meddle in other people's business. No matter how big or small the issue, she would always insert herself. Once, Wang and Li families had a dispute over their land boundaries. Zhang, hearing about it, uninvitedly offered her mediation. Her interference, however, did not resolve the matter but instead worsened the conflict, making the relationship between the two families even more strained. The villagers began to avoid her, and Zhang realized the harm of meddling in others' affairs. From then on, she stopped interfering and focused on her own life.
