What does Dou E's grievance mean?

Dou E is a character in Guan Hanqing's work Dou E Yuan in Yuan Dynasty. Yuan describes a lonely woman who was innocently framed and sentenced to death by a corrupt official who took bribes. Dou E's grievances were nowhere to be felt. When she died, she made a vow: her blood would splash on the white practice of the execution ground. In June, it snowed all over the sky, and the local drought lasted for three years. Dou E lives in Shanyang County, knows books and is humble and filial to her parents. Her father, Dou, has read a lot of poetry books since childhood, and has great wit, bad luck and repeated failures. Unfortunately, his wife passed away again, leaving his little daughter Dou E, who lived alone with her father and daughter, hungry and cold. There is a young widow named Cai Po next door. She has an only son named Cai Changzong. Both mother and son have the inheritance left by their husbands and live on usury. Dou is short of money and often borrows money from Cai Po, but Cai Po is unable to repay it when it expires. Cai Po doesn't delve into it either, because she likes Dou E very much and has been considerate since she was a child. Seeing that she often plays with Changzong, she is a childhood friend, and Cai Po has already intended to hire her as his wife.

In spring, Dou tried to take an exam in Beijing and get a good future, but there was nowhere to put her daughter. Cai Po came to comfort Dou and wanted to adopt him as his daughter-in-law. Since then, Dou's debts have been written off. Although I can't bear to part with my daughter, it is also the best arrangement. The Cai family has always been a scholarly family and loyal. The daughter has no worries about food and clothing in her house, and someone loves her. It is certainly the best thing to have a good son-in-law when you grow up. Cai Po immediately paid off his debt and gave him money. Dou Zhangtian received the debt and the money, and his heart ached. From then on, he will say goodbye to his daughter. For the future, he doesn't care at all.

After Dou left Chuzhou, there was no news. Xiao Dou 'e helped the maid to clean the floor and cook and cook in Cai's home. She is diligent and capable, and won the favor of Cai Po. After ten years of cold and heat, Dou E became a beautiful and dignified girl, and Cai Po chose an auspicious day to marry a pair of children.

After marriage, Cai Changzong studied hard in the cold window every day, Dou E did housework, and the family lived a quiet and smooth life.

In the year of the Beijing Competition, Cai Changzong was going to Beijing to take the exam. Cai Po doesn't trust her son to go alone. Please help Zhang Lu 'er, the son of Zhang Ma, escort Cai Gongzi to Beijing to catch the exam.

Zhang donkey didn't know how to make progress since he was a child. He didn't do anything. He ate, drank, whored and gambled. Zhang Ma is also a wicked woman, who pampers her son without restraint. Every day, Zhang Lver often goes to Cai's house to do some idle work. Because of his notoriety, he has reached the age of marriage. No one dares to marry his daughter, and he is drooling over women. Because I can go in and out of the inner room when I go to Cai's house, I often have the opportunity to see Dou E. Whenever I see this beautiful and kind housewife, my eyes are staring at him and I am scratching my heart. I wish Cai Changzong would not die in a hurry and become his wife.

Today, Zhang Ma told Zhang Maolv about the task of escorting Cai Gongzi to Beijing. Zhang donkey was overjoyed. Cai Gongzi is weak and secular, and knows nothing. This time he left home for Beijing, and everything was out of his control? If she is killed unnoticed on the way and comes back with bad news, Cai Po will die of anxiety, leaving only a Dou E who has neither her mother's family nor her husband's family. Is it not at the mercy of her two girls? He told his mother about this harmful trick, but Zhang Ma didn't stop it, but quite agreed. Now his son's daughter-in-law has finally landed, and there are still many possessions to go. She was very happy and whispered to her son that things must be strictly carried out.

Cai Po sent her son away from home to prepare food and clothing, and was busy for several days. When she was on the road, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were urging Zhang Lver to take care of her son in detail and not be careless. Nuo Nuo a donkey, a toll heart to wait on the childe. You don't have to worry about food if you live in a hotel. After a short walk and a night's rest, I realized that the master and servant had reached the bank of Huaihe River. The hot sun, two people sweating like a pig. The river is breezy and very cool. Zhang Maolv took the luggage and even shouted that he was hot and tired before leaving. I saw flowers on both sides of the Huaihe River, fish swimming freely in the river, a donkey waiting for the son to dismount, and Cai Gongzi ignored it and took a leisurely walk by the river, enjoying the pastoral scenery. Zhang donkey looked around and there was no one. This is the right time. He punched the childe on the head, and the childe was unstable. He pushed the son into the river conveniently. The current was swift, and without shouting, it was swept away by the river.

The sun is shining high in the sky, and the bank of Huaihe River is still breezy. Ghosts and gods don't know, and Zhang Lver wants to kill a big living person. Everything went well, and he became more and more calm and bold. He sold the animals that carried the people, got the money, took the travelling expenses himself, and then returned to Yang Shan to report the bad news.
