Why do elderly people fall for scams? Because they are too lonely and have no one to keep them company.
Deep down, they probably knew it was all a scam; after all, there are no gods or miracle drugs in this world. If eating that stuff could grant longevity, they wouldn't be buying it.
However, as they get older, they crave liveliness. Being alone at home feels cold and lonely, even in a small house. They always feel that their voices are loud and have an echo, and watching TV feels empty, as they think of how their children used to eagerly watch TV when they were young.
They just wanted to hear a sound.
Spending a little money to have someone talk to them and chat with them is nice; it's not expensive, and it's not like they can't afford it.
"Will they still come to wash our feet in the future?"
police:"……"
“We’re not coming. They’re all scammers. We’re taking them all with us. Call us if you need anything.”
"Oh, I see."
Everyone was quite upset, with indescribable feelings in their hearts.
So you're not coming?
Actually, they felt that it wasn't expensive and wouldn't kill anyone.
"Actually, it won't kill you. It'll just give you diarrhea."
"Yes, we all eat it; it won't kill anyone."
The police officers were also quite upset to see this situation.
"Eating too much is also bad for your health. You can't eat too much of it. They've fooled a lot of people."
Many people have been scammed. They think they can make money and spend all their money to buy this product, only to find that the goods are piling up and they can't sell them.
Some even took out loans to buy goods... which led to them going bankrupt..."
With the police's patient explanation, they realized that these people weren't just targeting the elderly, but also mothers and those who wanted to earn money but didn't have time to work, telling them they could be their own masters without having to go to work.
For some people, there are no time restrictions, they can still make money, and they don't have to ask others for money anymore. They have to give it their all, but in the end, they end up with nothing. What kind of despair is that?
The elderly people then realized that those people were indeed fraudsters.
Lin Xing held Mo Yan's hand, still a little shaken. "Mo Yan, it's a good thing you held me back, otherwise I would have bought it and lost a thousand or two, which is my monthly pension."
If it's not Mo Yan, then that's it.
"From now on, don't believe anything like this. There's no such thing as a free lunch."
Lin Xing nodded quickly; she understood, she understood, and she would never believe it again.
She still needs to keep a close eye on her wallet.
"I remember that many people in our village grow flowers. You said you'd plant the whole village with flowers, wouldn't that attract more tourists?"
Lin Xing: "???"
“Look, how many elderly people are there in our village? They’re only in their fifties or sixties, but they’re not really old. They just wander around all day. Why don’t we do something? What are we good at? Farming! We can grow some flowers and plants, and some strawberries and vegetables. Wouldn’t city people want to come if they saw that?”
"When our village gets bustling with activity, are you worried about being scammed? Everyone'll be too busy making money to care!"
Lin Xing's eyes lit up. It's true, they've been playing around every day and they've started to feel pain in various places. If this were before, they could all take on a tiger!
"Shall I go ask?"
Since I'm free anyway, I might as well go ask.
"Okay, I'll go ask."
The two of them went to ask around to see if anyone was willing to work together to design the village and replan it.
Their village is quite interesting; it's bordered by a river on one side and mountains on the other, and they live at the foot of those mountains.
The land in front is very flat, perfect for planting all sorts of flowers and plants, and even adding some recreational facilities. They even have carpenters in their village, so they can just start building.
Fruit trees are grown on the mountain: strawberries, loquats, tangerines, and some mandarins.
The area at the village entrance was completely fenced off, and various plants were planted, which then climbed all over the fences.
The surrounding area can be decorated with various small animals, and it will be very beautiful when it is covered with flowers.
They were all shocked when Mo Yan finished the design.
Each plot of land was fenced off, and different vegetables were grown inside.
A place.
The village paths are lined with flowers, and there are also local specialties from the village.
You can camp in the mountains. The paths on the mountaintop are all mountain trails, which they built back then to harvest bamboo shoots. We can do that later.
Let's make the village look nicer first.
The villagers took one look, slapped their thighs, and exclaimed, "Let's do it!"
The elderly folks stopped groaning in bed and got up to work.
Some others don't need anyone's company anymore; they want to get to work.
When Anbing and Anguo found out, they both thought these old men and women had gone mad. Why weren't they enjoying their old age?
Now that Mo Yan and Lin Xing have found something to do, they're no longer in a hurry to travel. They want to attract other tourists to their village.
The senior activity center was suddenly deserted; everyone was busy working in the fields.
Finally, everyone ate together from the same pot, with Mo Yan and Lin Xing cooking.
"You know what, we're just like we were back then, working together and eating from the same pot."
"Of course! When we eat together, I can eat two extra bowls of rice. It's so delicious!"
"We just felt that it was nice to eat together."
Everyone is busy until evening, then they go home, soak their feet, watch TV, and then go home to sleep.
Mmm, it smells delicious.
As people get older, they fear having no goals and no hope, feeling like they're just waiting to die, which makes them feel increasingly depressed and their health deteriorates.
With a goal and something to look forward to, things naturally change.
