(Minghui.org) I live in a little mountain village near Qinghuangdao City, Hebei Province. My husband’s uncle lives in the house next door. He's in charge of the village production team and was always very abusive. Because he felt we didn't have much power, he often bullied us. My father-in-law, on the other hand, is kind and honest.
Our farmland is very fertile. When my husband’s uncle spotted a good area on our property, he either occupied it outright or exchanged it with a piece of his land that did not produce well. When he noticed that we had a large fruit tree that was very productive, he exchanged it with a small sterile tree.
He planted trees along the boundary between his land and ours. As the trees grew, he cut all the limbs on his side. As a result, our side of the land was shaded by his trees and did not grow anything.
All the villagers saw the injustice and felt bad for us. My father-in-law dared not argue with his brother, but I was very upset. I resented his brother's bullying. I also resented that my father-in-law was so weak and useless.
After I began practicing Falun Dafa, I understood the karmic relationship between people. I realized that one will have a good future if one does good deeds and accumulates virtue. Dafa taught me to be tolerant and forgiving and to place others' interests first. I no longer resented my father-in-law or his brother.
My husband’s uncle is over 80 years old. He has two sons and two daughters. The older son is an official. Even though he lives next door to his parents he does not help them. The younger son remarried and lives with his new wife. They never visit their parents either.
The uncle’s wife had many illnesses. She seldom left her house, and never worked in the field. Her husband usually prepared their meals. After he became ill, no one cooked for them; no one chopped wood for fuel. The villagers all said they deserved it, and no one wanted to help the old couple.
After I learned of their dire situation, I brought them food and took care of them. The other villagers said that only Falun Dafa practitioners were so kind and would take care of them even after they had bullied us so ruthlessly.
I told the uncle and his wife that they would be blessed if they said, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Because I had been so kind, my aunt followed my suggestion.
The next day she came to my house and excitedly said, “Your uncle’s illness is gone. My back and legs are fine now!” She said that the two sentences I taught her truly did wonders. I told her to thank Falun Dafa's founder, Master Li Hongzhi. I said it was Master who saved them. She sincerely thanked Master.
She came to my home every day afterward. I taught her the Falun Dafa exercises. She had difficulty hearing and seeing. One had to yell into her ear. It took a great deal of patience to teach her, but she was very determined and never thought of giving up. I bought her a pair of hearing aids.
After she began doing the exercises, everything changed for the better. She was so happy that she was like a child. One day, she told me that her eyes were no longer blurry. She could see the arms of the clock moving, and could hear the clock ticking. Her hands were no longer numb, and her head was clear. She could carry corn on her back and collect wood in the mountains.
All the villagers knew how sick she had been. She could not walk to the mountains or work in the fields. Everyone was surprised to see that she was healthy. When they asked her what happened, she told them that she began practicing Falun Dafa. As her story spread throughout the village, everyone kept saying, “Falun Dafa is good!” Many people asked her to teach them the Falun Dafa exercises.
One day, she removed all the trees along the border between our properties.
