本論文旨在揭示《托自己的福》系列民間故事的結局處理方式和意義。在此一反映出當時民間普遍認知的「富貴由命天註定(福由天命)」的宿命觀點的這個民間故事中，女主人翁因與家族或丈夫產生摩擦而被逐出家門。此類故事雖被歸類為「致富奇談」，但故事的發展並未因此而止步，而是發展出與趕她出門的家人或前夫重新團聚的幸福結局。整體敘事結構若以數學函數觀之，在各個階段實皆呈現出包含「幸」與「不幸」的元素，並形成「W」型結構線圖，此一W型的曲線發展模式便是這個民間故事之所以不斷傳承並成為話題的趣味所在。
若將各類型的最後階段視作故事結局，並觀察其重新回歸原生家庭或夫家的比例，結果顯示，不管是被父親逐出家門或被丈夫休了，這兩種類型的故事中，半數以上均出現回歸原生家庭或夫家的幸福結局。其中，「托福自己」類是女主角為了對父親盡孝而重新回到趕她出門的原生家庭；而被丈夫休了的<屠夫女>類型，則是為了守護對公公和前夫的「信義」而重新回到夫家。以此觀之，韓國敘事文學在祈運求財、追求忠於現實和本能而不是地位和面子的生活的同時，仍然透過孝與信義等倫理框架來強調既有倫常的正當性。
以孝與信義對待將自己逐出家門的父親和前夫，就是透過與處於對立和衝突線上的父親或丈夫的和解，來重新歸隊，再度成為其中的一員，共同為家庭的繁榮而努力，因為唯有與倫理道德共存，致富才能成就一個「完美」的幸福结局。
This paper focuses on clarifying the ending pattern and meaning of the folktales of <I live in my fortune>. The female protagonist in this folktale, reflecting the fatalistic ideology of the enjoyment class that “everyone lives with their natural fortune.” is ousted by a conflict with her family. This story is categorized as a fortune story, but it does not stop at this, and ends up with a “happy ending” of reuniting with the family who expelled her. The theme of this is about wealth, the narrative structure itself is drawn as a W-shape structure by taking the elements of line and happiness for each paragraph and expressed as a mathematical function, and the curvature here becomes the source of the transmission power and interest of this folktale.
Looking at the final paragraph of each type as an ending and looking at the proportion of reunion pixels within these folktales, it is confirmed that at least half of both types have a happy ending by reuniting with their family. <My fortune>type, in order to fulfill the filial duty for her father, she reunites with her family. The <Butcher’s Daughter> type, expelled from her husband, can be seen as a reunion to protect the ‘faithfulness’ to the father-in-law and the real husband. Like this, while wishing for good luck and aiming for a life that is faithful to reality and instinct rather than status and face, Korean narrative literature still emphasizes the legitimacy of existing ethics through obvious themes.
Treating him with filial piety and fidelity to her father and her original husband, who had expelled her from them, is moral with wealth only when she reconciles with her father or husband who was on the line of confrontation and conflict, becomes a member of their family, and lives for the prosperity of their family. This is because wealth and ethics must co-exist for a perfect happy ending.
