The Judgment Between Two Mothers

In Yingchuan there were two brothers

living in the same house, and their wives
were both known to be expecting their
babies to be born soon. The older
woman had a miscarriage but did not let
anyone know about it.
When both women were in
confinement and the younger sister-
in-law delivered a, the older one
stole her child at night and, for three
years, the dispute over the child
could not be settled.
 When the case was brought before the chief
minister, Hung Po, he ordered the baby to be
placed ten steps away from the two mothers.
At a signal the two women rushed for the child
and each pulled the child. Neither would give
it up. The baby cried desperately, and the
mother, was afraid that he might be hurt, so,
she let him go. The older woman was very
much pleased, while the younger woman
looked very sorrowful.
 Then Hung Po declared, it
is the younger ones child.
He indicted the older woman,
and she was indeed found
guilty.
