He Buried His Son for His Mother

Guo Ju lived with his mother, wife and son. He was known for being very filial to his mother. However, his family was poor and Guo became worried when he realised he could not provide enough for both his mother and son. After discussing with his wife, they made a painful decision to bury their son alive. He felt he and his wife could have another child again but could not have his mother back if he lost her. While Guo was digging, he discovered a pile of gold and a note which said that Heaven had granted the gold to him. With the gold, Guo was able to provide for his whole family.
