Chapter 146: Talking Under the Moon
The moonlight was like silk, and the roots were intertwined and hung down from the canopy; The moonlight is like a wisp, and the overlapping places are more transparent; The moonlight is like a torch, as if the people standing underground have become transparent, and you can see clearly inside and out at a glance.
"Chenchen, why did you choose to come here and choose to work with us?"
At this moment, Qiao whispered that her back was leaning against the railing, and the white moonlight sprinkled down, putting on a long layer of clothes for her plain clothes, and also cutting a shadow like a ravine on her face.
Chen Chen looked away, looking at Biyue, who had not changed for the years, and his thoughts flew away unconsciously. Qiao Qingyu was rescued by Ye Xianglian, so she chose to follow her. And what about yourself? I first chose to embark on this path simply because of my yearning for strength, but now I have seen countless lives along the way, and these thousands of people who are struggling in the sea of suffering called life always fantasize about being able to help them.
But what can he do, he is only a teenager, he has no superb technology, no wealth of the enemy country, no peak power, no amazing power, he is just a hairy boy who has just arrived at the door realm, what can he do?
"There are so many people in the world who feel powerless about their lives, and I've experienced that feeling before, so I don't want others to experience that feeling too." This is Chenchen's answer.
"No wonder...... No wonder you're like us. Joe whispered, his voice swept away by the wind, and he couldn't hear it clearly.
"What did you say?" Chenchen asked.
Qiao turned his head softly and smiled at him: "Sister Xianglian said, you give people the same feeling as us." ”
How does it feel? Does it refer to this kind of thinking of "worrying about serving the country" that has been cultivated from childhood education? "Why do you say that?" Chenchen asked.
"She told you that the Righteous Hall is named after her father-in-law."
Chen Chen nodded, at that time, Ye Xianglian said that opening the Hall of Benevolence and Righteousness was her and her father-in-law's lifelong wish, and now it has finally come true. "By the way, who is presiding over the Shanyi Hall now, her father-in-law?" Since it's the wish of the two of them, it should be handled together.
"He's dead."
"Dead?" Chen Chen still had some conjectures, but he didn't expect the truth to be so cruel.
Joe sighed softly, looked at the empty street in front of him, and told the story of the past.
Originally, Ye Xianglian was a rich daughter, and her family had been a businessman for generations, although it was not a large-scale business, but fortunately, she managed in good faith and had a good reputation.
Waiting for their foundation to pass on to Ye Xianglian, her parents died of illness early, although the young Ye Xianglian is inexperienced, but fortunately, the reputation of her ancestors is not bad, and even after she took over, the industry developed even more.
It is said that men should get married and women should get married, Ye Xianglian is growing up day by day, and she has reached the age when she should talk about marriage. It just so happened that a man broke into her world, and this person was Wang Shanyi, who was also a businessman.
This Wang Shanyi has been an orphan since he was a child, but with his down-to-earth and hard-working temperament, he started from scratch step by step, and finally achieved the same level as the Ye family. At that time, the combination of the two of them seemed to everyone to be a match made in heaven.
The business of the two is related to people's livelihood, so they can often see the suffering of the people. The two of them coincidentally came up with an idea: when the business is bigger, they will open a church to help the people, which can be regarded as doing some practical things for the people.
Within a few years of getting married, their original goal was achieved. But where should this church be opened? Naturally, it is the place with the most pressure in life that can perfectly demonstrate its value, so after a detailed plan, they finally decided to open it in the city of Yanyang.
Opening in the city of Yunyang means that the two of them must come here to live, and the foundation they have created should also be moved here. After taking care of everything, their wish was finally coming true.
But how can the competitive pressure of Yangyang City be comparable to other small cities? After their competitors found out that a powerful enemy had suddenly appeared, they decisively chose to join forces to deal with them together, directly collapsing the huge foundation of the Ye family and the Wang family.
At that time, there were crowds of people outside Ye Xianglian's shop who came to ask for bills every day, and the terrifying battle scared the store into not daring to open for several months. In the end, Wang Shanyi said that he should explain clearly to that group of people, sincerity is the secret medicine to eliminate estrangement. So, despite Ye Xianglian's opposition, the door of the long-closed store finally opened again.
But the excited crowd listened to Wang Shanyi's explanation, and angry people rushed into the store, grabbing, smashing, and even injuring several staff members in the shop. As a last resort, the two of them had to close their doors again after all the hard work of their family property in Yunyang City.
But where are those people willing to let them go like this? I feel cheated by customers who come to their accommodation every day to make trouble, and half of the surrounding streets are not at peace for a long time.
Wang Shanyi has always chosen to face his guests with sincerity, but this time sincerity has brought him unprecedented disasters. Finally, under multiple pressures from inside and outside, he hanged himself.
That period of time should be the most difficult time for Ye Xianglian, years of achievements collapsed overnight, her partner left her, and she had to deal with endless accusations and criticism from the outside world. The people they had been trying to help turned out to be themselves.
Thankfully, she survived. Although she dismissed all her helpers and sold the shop here, she still filled in the gaps and stopped continuing to be in business, in exchange for her current stable life.
"Lost all your assets? No longer in business? So what is the source of funds for her to support the operation of Shanyi Church now? Although Chen Chen was also heartbroken by her tragic fate, the doubts in her heart also rose at the same time.
Joe turned his head softly, the corners of his mouth grinning upward, as if he was smiling, but it was desolate under the white silver: "It's nothing more than doing some small work or something." Pasting lanterns, sewing clothes, selling flowers and plants, she has done everything in these days. Sometimes I will also go to help, so I think it is all for Sister Xianglian. How so? Then their lives are too difficult. “…… In this way, I don't have to pay my salary. ”
Hearing this, Joe smiled softly. "I don't say this to arouse your sympathy. Don't worry, this place will not be able to fall for a while, and your salary will still be paid. With that, she patted Chenchen on the shoulder and walked back.
