Jiang Hao walked into the corridor with Li Jianlong, although the corridor is simple, but it is whitewashed and looks very clean, the highest in this community is the tenth floor, Li Jianlong's friend lives on the ninth floor, this height, and the cement floor, is destined to be more auspicious.

The two finally climbed to the ninth floor, Li Jianlong knocked on the door on the right, and after a long time, a little boy of five or six years climbed on the chair and timidly opened the small window on the security door.

Li Jianlong had been here a few times before, and the little boy recognized Li Jianlong at a glance, touched his nose, and immediately turned his head to the room and shouted, "Mom, it's Brother Long!" ”

Li Jianlong and Jiang Hao didn't hear anything coming from the house, the little boy climbed down the chair to open the door, and the two walked into the house.

The room is one bedroom and one living room, less than sixty square meters, a family of three and an old lady are crammed into one room, the room is quite clean, and a simple man's photo hangs on one side of the hall.

At this time, a middle-aged woman with red and swollen eyes, sat up with a strong spirit, saw Li Jianlong and the others enter the house, and greeted politely: "It's Dalong, come in and sit, you Brother Liu, a selfish ghost, left us people and left cleanly!" As he spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably.

Jiang Hao glanced at the woman in front of him, according to what Li Jianlong said, she should be thirty-four or five years old, but she looked more than ten years older than her actual age, her temples also had a trace of gray hair, and her hands were also worn with a thick layer of calluses due to excessive work, it was difficult for people to believe that this was the hand of a woman in her thirties.

An elderly lady in the house was hanging a dripping stream, obviously unable to withstand the blow and fell ill, Li Jianlong looked at the despair and pain in the woman's eyes, and sighed secretly, "I'll give Brother Liu incense first!" ”

The woman nodded, Li Jianlong came to the spiritual throne and put on three pillars of incense, Jiang Hao and the other party were not related, but the deceased was the greatest, and he also had some sympathy for this person in his heart, and he also put incense.

Subsequently, the two of them sat down in the living room with Li Jianlong, the woman wanted to find some fruit, but looking at the layout of the house, it was also very poor, Li Jianlong hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, don't be busy, I heard that something happened, just come over and take a look, don't be too sad, you still have to live, think about your son, you can't say anything like Brother Liu to be stupid and go to extremes!" ”

The woman also sat on the chair next to her, and the little boy stood beside the woman very well-behaved, stretched out his fleshy little hand to wipe away the woman's tears, and said timidly: "Mom, don't worry, it's good when I grow up, and I will be able to take care of you then!" ”

Seeing her son's well-behaved and sensible, the woman pulled the little boy and hugged him tightly in her arms, and her tears couldn't stop flowing again.

Li Jianlong hurriedly comforted a few words, probably feeling that there were outsiders present, and the woman finally calmed down a little, but the sadness on her face could not be concealed.

Li Jianlong hesitated for a moment, saw that the woman's love was a little calm, and asked, "Sister-in-law, how is Brother Liu's funeral arranged?" If there is any difficulty, just open your mouth, by the way, how did Brother Liu come into contact with this thing? Even if you suffer a loss, you won't be unable to think about it. ”

The woman sighed, and said in a hoarse voice: "It stands to reason that I have to wait three days before entering the ground, our family is now surrounded by four walls, if it wasn't for a few of his former co-workers who came to help yesterday, I'm afraid I really can't do it alone, when I was sent to the hospital, it was already not good, and finally I decided to cremate directly, and then brought the ashes back, without alarming too many people, without any ceremony, and without money to buy any cemetery." ”

Hearing the woman's words, I don't know why, Jiang Hao felt an indescribable sourness in his heart, and there was a certain resonance in front of some feelings of powerlessness in life.

In the woman's narrative, the two gradually learned that a few years ago, in this bustling and noisy city, the husband and wife worked hard to accumulate a little hard-earned money in the wind and rain, and scraped together enough for a down payment to buy the current house.

The loan for 20 years, the monthly repayment is less than 2,000 yuan, the man does some coolie on the construction site, the woman does some manual work, and the average of hard work for a month, in addition to paying off the mortgage and living expenses, can also save two or three thousand yuan, the old man takes the child here, and the husband and wife have endured hardships and stood hard work for several years, and have also saved more than 100,000 yuan.

It stands to reason that it's not bad, life is okay, the conditions are a little more relaxed, the family also bought a computer, and in his spare time, he will go to the Internet, and find a way to engage in a side hustle, so he looked for a little money-making project on the Internet, but he never wanted to fall into the abyss of Boc.

At the beginning, he was a little similar to Jiang Hao, he tried a few handfuls cautiously, and in the end he really made a lot of money, and most of the vigilance and concerns in his heart were removed, and he began to bet with the agency plan.

In just a few days, he earned more than 10,000 yuan, after the agent swore to make a steady profit, he also passed guò his own personal practice, Liu Laohan, who was convinced of the agent's words, began to bet a large amount of money, and followed it all day, for the discovery of this rich project, the woman did not understand at all, but she could make money, and she was very happy in her heart

Both husband and wife hope to live a better life through guò, but the result can be imagined, constantly losing, constantly doubling bets, back and forth for a few days, the money in the bank card continues to transfer to the platform, when the doubling money is far from enough, only to suddenly find that all the hard-earned money accumulated in the past few years is still in.

The two of them seemed to have been struck by lightning, remembering that they had been greedy for darkness in the early days, moving bricks and tiles on the construction site, sweating like rain, only a few thousand yuan a month, and they were not even willing to eat a meal of meat.

And the woman is only a few cents to make a handmade jewelry, she has to be busy for seventeen or eighteen hours a day, her hands have already worn the skin roughly, and the joints have become a lot bigger, even so, at most dozens of yuan a day, even a bottle of cheap cosmetics is reluctant to buy.

In the past few years of dedication and hard work, the hard-earned money accumulated like a slave has been worked for the platform in vain, unwillingness, remorse, pain, despair, powerlessness, all kinds of complex and pessimistic feelings are infinitely mixed and amplified, Jiang Hao fully understands the mood of the two at that time.

However, they are not as lucky as Jiang Hao, despair is despair, and life still has to go on, but the woman was the first to calm down and persuaded him to stop.

It's just that the savings accumulated with blood and sweat over the past few years can not be so easily put down willingly, and it took less than half a month to throw it in, and I didn't even hear a sound.

On the surface, he promised his wife, but in his heart, he thought that as long as he let himself win back the money he lost, even if he won back part of it, he promised not to touch it again in the future.

Liu Laohan, who was already red-eyed, took a risk and borrowed 200,000 loan sharks, he didn't plan to call the bet all day, he planned to divide the money into several times, see the opportunity to smash it directly, and stop after a few hits.

So he smashed a few handfuls on his wife's back, but luck did not favor him, 200,000, and in a blink of an eye, it went in more than 100,000, and in the end there were less than 50,000 yuan left.

This money may not be a big deal for a rich man, but for this family, it means that they will be slaves to others for the next few years, especially when they think of the interest of usury, and there is not even a little hope for the future.

Feeling shameless in the face of his wife, in the face of those loan sharks, he felt that his home had been ruined by himself, as the saying goes, people die and debts are rotten, in order to let the family continue to go on in hope, in order to give an explanation to the creditor, he finally chose this extreme way to end his life.

Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Jiang Hao sighed in his heart, such a large amount, even if it was hit on the platform, would be hacked, he knew very well the bottom line of these small platforms on the Internet for players.

It was the first time for Jiang Hao to see the people around him die because of this thing so closely, he didn't know how many such people were killed and how many families were broken because of this in the Boc that bloomed everywhere!

For the first time, Jiang Hao began to ask himself in his heart, "In this world full of online casinos, too many innocent people have fallen into the trap of the trader's painstaking management, and what can I do?" ”
