Chapter 5 My Struggle
“Has a new tenant moved into the room next door?”
Meng Lang muttered as he walked in.
The rental house he lives in is located in an urban village in the old city. People who live here are generally migrant workers from other places. They come from all walks of life, and there is a lot of mobility.
The living environment is not considered friendly, and the only advantage is that it is cheap.
"Cuckoo~" At this moment, the sound from his stomach made Meng Lang realize that he didn't seem to have eaten well this morning.
He instinctively picked up a bag of "Master Soup" on the table.
After boiling the water, I was about to tear open the package, but my hand suddenly froze.
[I drank a lot that day, and after I vomited blood and was hospitalized, the doctor found out that I had advanced gastric cancer...]
Advanced gastric cancer...
Late stage...
The words that suddenly appeared in his mind were like echoes, making Meng Lang's heart tremble.
Yes, what caused his miserable life was not just investment failure?
Some people exchange health for money, and some people exchange money for health. My life was so miserable, I had neither...
Like many college students, when I was in college, I began to eat irregularly, often missing breakfast, often having spicy hotpot for lunch, and eating at a roadside stall for dinner.
Meng Lang, who left home, was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, enjoying the freedom of willfulness.
When I get to work, takeout and instant noodles are commonplace.
However, all this does not seem to be without cost...
Meng Lang sighed and slowly put down the instant noodles, his eyes slowly becoming determined.
He decided that from today on, he would be a health-preserving person, lighting fires, cooking, providing firewood, rice, oil and salt. From today on, he would care about food and vegetables.
It is best to rent a room with a kitchen and a bathroom, facing the sea.
“Hmm...I looked up what recipes are good for health, by the way! Doesn’t my dad, a little expert in group chatting, always post this?
I used to be too young and didn’t know the title when I saw it. The desire to click, now that I think about it, if there is an elder in the family, if there is a treasure, the experience of the elders should be learned from. "
Meng Lang immediately took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a long-term health regimen for himself.
Farewell, fried chicken, beer and barbecue! Farewell, potato chips and cola instant noodles!
It's not that I don't love you anymore, it's mainly because I'm afraid of death.
"'Introduction to health care - teach you how to maintain a Buddhist-style health!', this seems to be quite reliable.
Huh? What?! Put wolfberry in beer, Coke... put Codonopsis pilosula?
Is this okay?
Wait, it must be the wrong way!
‘Advanced health care – core secrets of high-end health care’, take a look at this.
Cordyceps sinensis in the left hand, bird's nest donkey hide gelatin in the right hand... As long as there is no shortage of money, can you live to nine hundred and ninety-nine? !
Next! ‘Ancient way to maintain health – the method of maintaining health through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians’.
The Ren meridian governs blood, and the Du meridian governs qi. Blood is yin and qi is yang. Dredge the Ren and Du meridians to regulate the balance of yin and yang. If the yin and yang are imbalanced, miscellaneous diseases will occur..."
Meng Lang He stayed silent for a long time and turned off his phone silently
Dad, you are being naughty.
Meng Lang felt that if he clicked on the following, such as "Qi Men Dun Jia Health Method" and "Yin Yang and Five Elements Harmony Health Method," he would be insulting the author.
I don’t deserve it!
The art of health preservation is so extensive and profound...it’s better to start slowly from the beginning.
Anyway, except for the entry-level regimen, I either can’t afford it or I can’t understand it...
Glancing at the rental house where there were no pots and pans, and where firewood, rice, oil and salt were all scarce, Meng Lang let out a long sigh.
Forget it, under these conditions, it is not realistic to cook by yourself in a short time. It is better to go out and eat a healthier vegetarian food.
But... you have to hide the treasure first!
Meng Lang took out the book from his arms, but was stunned the next moment.
In just a short time, the whole book has changed drastically.
The original black and white cover has now been replaced by pure black, and "Meng Lang's Tragic Life" on the cover has also been replaced by another four characters - "My Struggle"!
This...
Even though he was slightly mentally prepared, when this scene actually happened in front of his eyes, Meng Lang still felt that his outlook on life had been subverted.
If this book hadn't been in his arms, Meng Lang would have even suspected that someone had dropped the bag.
Is this the butterfly effect manifesting itself?
However... this pure black cover, with the white square fonts in the middle, made Meng Lang inexplicably think of the tombstones standing quietly in the cemetery...
Meng Lang shook his head and took these A weird thought came out of my mind.
Now that I know the original future, I should have avoided the "initial cause" of investment failure, and the subsequent series of tragedies will naturally not happen again.
Look at the current name of this autobiography - "My Struggle"!
What a positive word? One look at it gives people a feeling of vitality!
This and a miserable life are completely different attitudes towards life. It can be seen that the future self must have a pretty good and positive life!
The future! A glorious future must be waiting for me!
Meng Lang opened the book page excitedly.
【Once upon a time, my dream was to be a police uncle, but then half of my dream was achieved and I became an uncle.
Later, my dream was to earn one million a year, marry a beautiful mentor, and reach the pinnacle of life. Later, when I just earned 50,000 yuan a year, the beautiful mentor married someone else, and the groom was not me.
So I understood that a person should be down-to-earth and set a small goal first, to join the Fortune 500!
……
I succeeded! I joined China Life Insurance and became an insurance salesperson!
......
In the end, I finally understood that you must not be down-to-earth in life. Just like Teacher Tony said, you must make money make money, so that you will not become a slave to money.
I borrowed money from relatives, maxed out my credit cards, increased leverage, and spent all my money shorting China Energy. Then we welcomed the 2018 stock market crash and earned the first pot of gold in my life!
However... it is also the last bucket...
Just when I was proud of my life and ready to show off my ambitions... Xiaoyu died!
Yes, that cute, so sensible Xiao Yu... is dead!
She was only seven years old. She was innocent and just about to enjoy her best years, but she was brutally killed in a rental house!
The body was found in a nearby flowerbed. It was said that he had suffered inhumane treatment during his lifetime.
When I heard the bad news, I felt sad, angry, and helpless...
Especially when I saw that pale, bloodless face in the news, I felt so overwhelmed. I feel like I'm about to collapse.
Angels are in the world, but so are the devils!
But the real bad news is yet to come...
The day after the body was discovered, the police came to the door.
Because after investigation and evidence collection, all the criminal evidence actually pointed to... me! !
Street surveillance, fingerprints on the door, the murder weapon and bloody clothes next to the body, and the hair and dander left by the murderer...
Yes, all the evidence points to me. !
Don’t argue with anyone!
I still clearly remember the angry looks and insults from the people around me.
I even remember the pain when the landlord Yan Weiwei rushed over like crazy with red eyes and kicked me into the air, causing my internal organs to be tangled together.
However, no matter how painful it is, it is not one ten thousandth of the pain in my heart...
...
As the defendant, I was taken to court without any witnesses. , there was no alibi, no one sympathized, and the public opinion was overwhelmingly against me.
Faced with Xiaoyu's sister's eyes that were so angry that she wanted to kill someone, I was speechless.
Faced with my parents’ heart-wrenching cries, my heart ached like a knife.
In the end, due to the egregious circumstances, he was sentenced to life.
If nothing happens, I will spend the rest of my life in prison.
……
I'm not willing to give in!
I am not willing to be imprisoned like this unjustly! I'm not willing to let the murderer go free!
So, I studied law in prison, exercised my body, actively cooperated with labor reform to fight for a reduced sentence, and even started quietly polishing spoons.
I just hope that one day, I can get out of here in my lifetime, find the real murderer, and bring him to justice!
Revenge for yourself and Xiaoyu!
...
However, it turns out that movie plots are movie plots after all, and reality is far more cruel than movies.
Ten years later.
Due to the harsh environment and overwork in the prison, I vomited blood and fell into a coma.
The diagnosis was late stage gastric cancer...
My struggle... is in vain after all...]
Meng Lang remained silent for ten minutes.
Then, he finally couldn’t help but uttered a curse word.
“Fuck!”
Where is the promised glorious future?
This is worse than a "miserable life"! (End of this chapter)
