Idioms and allusions

In the Song Dynasty, there was a man named Jiang Qi in a city who opened a hotel to receive past merchants and sell some goods on behalf of others. one spring, Jiang Qi often heard the sad voice from the back yard, but when he looked there, he saw nothing. Many times, he did not think so. Two months later, five merchants came to live in his shop. That night, all five guests heard the sad cry. They got up one by one and went to the back garden. They found that the cry came from the nearby pigsty. When I went there, I saw an old sow crying in tears, and then I asked, "you beast, why do you make trouble here in the middle of the night?" Strange to say, the old sow said: "I don't know. I was Jiang Qi's grandmother! When I was alive, I raised sows and sold them after I gave birth to them. Hundreds of them were sold a year, which supported my family. After I died, I was punished and was born a pig. Now I'm really sorry! " The next morning, the merchants told Jiang Qi the strange story and advised him to have the old sow. Jiang Qi said with disapproval: "how can you believe the animal's words? I noticed this strange thing two months ago. Don't be surprised when you see strange things. This strange thing will ruin itself. You don't have to make a fuss. Even if it was born to my grandmother, so what? Let it be! The merchants advised him to give birth to the old sow. Instead of listening, Jiang Qi quarreled with one of the merchants and broke up. Two days later, Jiang Qi suddenly fell ill. He suspected that it was the old sow who was doing mischief, so he asked the butcher to kill it and sell it. Unexpectedly, Jiang Qi's illness became more and more serious, reaching an incurable level. When he was dying, he let out the cry that the pig was killed.
