Chapter 457: The coldest is the human heart
The picture flips like a movie, from the beginning, to a few months later, Lin Tianqi walked in the streets and alleys of Tianfeng Town, quietly watching the development of things, he wanted to be a spectator, looking at everything from a God's perspective, at the end of each month, the Li family and his wife would take out thousands of catties of rice to distribute to ordinary people in the town, and on the bright side, the Li family and his wife are also good people praised by everyone.
However, Lin Tianqi knows that this is only on the surface, in secret, on the back side that the Li family and his wife don't know, more and more people complain about the Li family, dislike the Li family for giving too little, and feel that the Li family has made so much money in business, but only gives them such a little bit of rice.
And these complaints and rumors are becoming more and more fierce in private, at the beginning, there were only a few people who were dissatisfied and maliciously speculated, but slowly, as time went by, after these words came out of someone's mouth, they were believed by more and more people, the so-called rumors stop at the wise, but there are a few wise people in the world, and the wise man, is it really desireless, can he be fair?!
Tian Fengzhen so many people complain maliciously and speculate about Li Shoucheng and his wife, is there no one who understands, obviously impossible, in fact, in this world, there are not many really stupid people, but smart people still have the majority, some things, in fact, many people know well, but they are just selective self-neglect in their hearts, because people have selfishness and desires, and once they have these, they may have a bad conscience.
Greed is endless, just like a drug, accustomed to getting something for nothing, when you are accustomed to the help of others, the gratitude in your heart will slowly fade, and it will slowly become a matter of course, and anything, the most feared thing is to take it for granted, the help of the Li family at the end of each month has slowly made the people of Tianfeng Town accustomed to it, and the accustomed ones have even made them slowly forget about the help of the Li family to them.
Accustomed to it, they began to take it for granted that the Li family was their helper, so they began to complain that the Li family had helped them too little, began to complain, began to speculate maliciously, and began to .....
"Alas!" Late at night, Li Shoucheng sat in the study, sighing heavily, and the look in his eyes was unwilling and helpless, their Li family's business in Beiping had a big problem, and it was difficult to operate again.
It's not because there is a problem with the business, but it is being targeted, the Li family's business is too prosperous, and it is targeted by the big people in Beiping, and he will eat the profits of his Li family's nine layers in one bite, in this chaotic era, there is no wealth and no power, it is a big piece of fat, although the Li family also raised some family thugs, but it can shock the ordinary people and gangsters, compared to those big people in Beiping, it is not enough to see at all, and what makes Li Shoucheng's atmosphere even more is that the other party is still greedy for his wife Zhou Mengyun, and asked her to send his wife over togetherγ
If it is just the profit of the business, even if the other party opens his mouth, Li Shoucheng may not be able to back down, but the other party will also pay attention to hitting his wife's head, how can Li Shoucheng bear it, he refused the other party on the spot, but the final result is that his Li family's business in Beiping is completely unable to operate, all the shops are seized, and after a month, he will lose money.
"Sir. Zhou Mengyun walked in from the door, and when she saw Li Shoucheng's appearance, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and she had the heart to comfort Li Shoucheng, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only scream softly.
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry, even if the business in Peking is gone, with the rest of the family's money and other businesses over the years, it is enough for our family to live a carefree life. β
Seeing Zhou Mengyun walk in, Li Shoucheng immediately restrained the emotions on his face, showed a smile, and said with a smile, he didn't want to infect his wife with the heaviness and emotions in his heart.
As a husband, he should shelter his wife and children from the wind and rain and hold up a piece of the sky, even if he is tired and tired outside, Li Shoucheng will never let these burdens weigh on his wife and children, this is his responsibility as a husband.
"Hmm. When Zhou Mengyun heard this, she was also in a slightly better mood, with a good-looking smile on her face, nodded and walked in, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, and serving it to Li Shoucheng: "This is the ginseng tea I just stewed, sir, drink it while it's hot, you have been running around all this time, hard work, don't be tired, make up for it, the business in Beiping, if it's really not good, give up." β
In the study, Li Shoucheng and Zhou Mengyun stayed together, talking about the words between husband and wife, while Lin Tianqi stood in the courtyard outside the door, quietly watching this scene.
At the end of another month, on this day, as usual, every household in the town had people with bags and other containers to come to the door of the Li family There was a long queue, but at this point, the Li family did not take out rice to give away to everyone, and the business problems in Beiping were a heavy blow to the Li family, and there was no extra financial resources to give rice to the people in the town, and Li Shoucheng came out to announce the matter in public.
"What, don't send rice, what's the matter, so many of us came here, and we didn't send it, is there any mistake, isn't everyone waiting in vain. β
"That's it, so many of us are waiting here, and we can't say it, if we want to say it, we should have said it earlier, and we deserve to have problems with his Li family's business. β
"Don't say that, no matter what, this is also the kindness of the Li family to us, and now that the Li family's business has problems, we should also understand that the kindness should not be forgotten. β
"Phew, fart kindness, I said a long time ago, this Li family is just a show, famous, now that the reputation is there, naturally it will not be issued, what business fails, maybe it's all an excuse, he said that the business in Beiping failed, and no one has seen it in the past, how do you know if what he said is true or false......"
"This, it shouldn't be possible, I don't think Master Li should be that kind of person. β
"What is not that kind of person, knowing the face of the person but not the heart. β
β...............β
In the crowd, in front of Li's house, many people did not show it at the time, but when the crowd dispersed, behind the scenes, there was a moment of discussion, and many people were dissatisfied, as if those dissatisfied emotions hidden in the depths of their hearts broke out all at once, and the remarks that maliciously speculated that Li Shoucheng gave rice to everyone just to gain fame were even more uproar in an instant.
The discussion was everywhere, and it became more and more intense, at first there were many people who refuted, but gradually, the voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end, the voice of rebuttal disappeared completely, and it seemed that everyone believed that what the Li family had done before was just a reputation, and in the end, these words also entered the Li family and fell into the ears of Li Shoucheng and his wife.
"Poof!!"
In the Li family, in the study, Li Shoucheng directly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground in front of Zhou Mengyun and his son Li Jun.
These days, because of the business in Beiping, Li Shoucheng has been exhausted, and when he heard these remarks at this moment, the hidden illness in his heart completely broke out at once, and he vomited blood and fainted.
The entire Li family was in a panic, Zhou Mengyun ordered someone to quickly invite a doctor, and at the same time, the news quickly spread throughout Tianfeng Town.
"What, Li Shoucheng is sick!"
"Didn't people get well before, why did they suddenly fall ill. β
"I see, the eighth floor is doing something hurtful outside, and now God has come to collect it. β
"Yes, these days, which of those rich people is good, and it is not the hard-earned money that has been taken from us poor people, and they deserve it. β
"I used to think that this Li Shoucheng was a good person, but I was really blind. β
"If the Li family was really doing good deeds to help all of us, his Li family was so rich, wouldn't it be more direct to take it out and share it with all of us, what kind of rice, that bit of rice, not even a fraction of his Li family's fraction, send it to Huazi, I see, this Li Shoucheng is for fame. β
"Yes, if this Li Shoucheng is really kind to help everyone, he will take out his Li family's money and distribute it to everyone, I really respect him for being a good person. β
"In ancient times, there were clouds, for the rich and unkind, throughout the ancient and modern times, you look at those rich people, and which one is a good person, this Li Shoucheng is not a good thing, and now he deserves to be sick. β
"It's a pity, why didn't you die directly. β
β..........β
Once again, there were many discussions in Tianfeng Town, but in the face of Li Shoucheng's serious illness, most of them were gloating and wishing that he would die of illness directly, like the Li family's money was taken from them, and there was quite a kind of common hatred.
Lin Tianqi was indifferent, he suddenly thought of a sentence-
The hottest is the human heart, but the coldest is also the human heart!
These words reached the Li family, and Li Shoucheng was never able to stand up again.
A month later, on a rainy night, Li Shoucheng died in bed.
