They worked day and night in the field just to earn enough for rent and a little food.<br>The boy, Dong Yong (董永), was honest and very kindhearted, but he had no money at all. <br>One day, as he took a moment of respite under a tree, a beautiful maiden approached him and asked why he was working so hard with so little rest. Dong Yong told the girl why he worked so hard for such a pitiless landlord, and burst into tears.<br>He said that perhaps they could help each other heal their wounds. From that moment on, the sorrow that loomed in their hearts drifted away, and they asked the spirits of the earth to marry them then and there.<br>One night Dong Yong was weaving cloth and he was getting more anxious that he would never finish in time. What could they possibly do? But his wife was calm and assured him everything would be fine, and ordered him to go to sleep. Dong Yong did not know that his lovely wife was not at all a poor maiden but the Seventh Daughter of The Jade Emperor of the heavens. Deep at night when her husband was asleep, she weaved ten pieces of beautiful cloth with her fairy magic. <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br>
