Chapter 274

After the truth of the "haunting" was revealed, everything returned to calm.

The reason why this farce can last for so long is that, in the final analysis, the people are in awe of these things.

It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist.

Regardless of the era of eradication and destruction, in fact, people's thoughts can only be influenced by the above for a while, not for a lifetime.

As soon as we entered the 1980s, after the opening up, many people gradually moved towards a state of no taboos.

Many suppressed things will gradually recover.

For example, reselling antiques.

For example, going to sea to do business.

Another example is belief in ghosts and gods.

Since ancient times, belief in ghosts and gods has been rooted in the soil of the people in our ancient civilization that has been inherited for five thousand years and cannot be cut off.

Of course, our Chinese people's belief in ghosts and gods is unique in the world, and it is completely different from other people's die-hard beliefs.

Let’s use an analogy.

There is an author named Xiaoqing. When she enters the temple, she will burn incense on the statues one by one.

Did you ask her if she believed in ghosts and gods?

She believes it!

So, make a wish one by one!

After a few days, depending on which wish comes true, she will fulfill it.

After that, she continued to offer incense to the statue of the god who fulfilled her wish.

If it doesn't work next time, she won't use the incense anymore, try another one, and keep trying.

Now, this is the mentality of most of us Chinese people:

If you are wise, I will believe in you!

If you don't work, I'm sorry!

Therefore, civilization has been passed down for five thousand years, and our stories are full of ghosts and gods.

But there are not many people like those in foreign countries who believe in a certain god and are completely devoted to it.

Many believers abroad believe in it regardless of whether it is spiritual or not.

It will also destroy those who do not believe in my god.

If you don’t believe it, that’s fine. You are my enemy. I will compete with you for territory for the sake of my gods.

I am a believer in God, and I will destroy you on behalf of my god!

so--

After the "haunting" incident subsided, the aunts who had been selling the shop gathered at the home of the leading aunt again, and they gathered around the stove and made sarcastic remarks:

"Oh, the shop that our ancestors passed down so easily is gone."

An aunt next to me who was knitting a sweater answered:

"My son has just gotten married, and now that his daughter-in-law is pregnant, he still expects this shop to collect rent and provide him with subsidies to support his family's expenses!"

The aunt who took the lead that day put charcoal into the iron stove and said:

"My son doesn't live up to expectations, can't study well, and refuses to endure hardships. He just lies at home and watches TV."

"Can the TV see a flower? Or can it show him a wife?"

"You said, I can't give him a shop to support myself?"

"It's too late to say anything now!"

Another aunt grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them, then threw the skins into the stove and said:

"If I had known earlier, we would have asked the men at home to catch the fake ghost at night, so we wouldn't have to sell the shop?"

"Hey, let me tell you, it's not like we haven't been arrested before. It was your man who said that he saw a female ghost sitting on the roof crying!"

"That's right! Because of this situation, we all believed in your family and decided to invite Goddess Kang."

"Then what my man said is true!"

"Then at the beginning, Mother Kang also said that Boss Si's eight-character zodiac sign was all Yang and he could suppress it, so he asked us to sell it to him!"

Suddenly, the aunts sitting around the fire started making a loud noise.

The young man in Jiwotou, who only got up in the middle of the morning, yawned and opened the door and said:

"Why are you making such a fuss? It's broad daylight and you won't let anyone sleep!"

All the aunts:?What (o_o)??

"You just have too much time to do! Maybe the boss of the company is in the same group as Mrs. Kang? I lied to you stupid aunts with long hair and short knowledge!"

Before anyone else could fry the pot, his old mother stood up first and cursed:

"You brat! What nonsense are you talking about? You have no manners at all! Apologize to the aunties!"

The aunts sitting around the fire all had ugly faces, and some of them shouted back:

"Boss Si is a foreigner, how can he be in the same group as Shen Po Kang? You kid is just talking nonsense!"

"That's right! Shen Po Kang was invited by your mother. You can't. Your mother and Boss Si are also in the same group, right?"

The leading aunt became anxious and said quickly: "Hey - I don't want to talk about this! How could I be with them?"

Immediately afterwards, she launched a series of barrage to distance herself.

While talking to this side, he still reached out and pushed his son to close the bedroom door.

In the urban residential villages in this area, each family has a small courtyard, and the houses are heated by iron stoves in winter.

It is not as heated as the family buildings allocated by those units.

It's mid-November, the beginning of winter, and it's already so cold in the north that people don't want to leave the stove.

The aunts were noisy around the stove, and the young man in the chicken coop yelled:

"Boss Si and Mother Kang are not the same group, so he is the same group as that 'male ghost'."

"We can't catch all the gentlemen from so many families, and neither can the police."

"How can Boss Si catch him? And he did it alone!"

"Maybe he hired that 'male ghost'!"

"Seeing that your store is easy to fool, I thought I would fool the surrounding stores as well."

"I heard that the boss of the company has hired an engineering team and the contract has been signed. Construction will start after the year and the building will be built!"

"At the beginning, your eight shops were not enough to build a building."

"The three thousand square meters of land now is certainly enough for him to play with!"

"Let me tell you, you are just short of knowledge, and you are fooled by profiteers like Boss Si!"

This time, unexpectedly, the aunts stopped yelling.

Everyone was stunned by Jiwotou's conspiracy theory.

The chicken coop head slammed the door, lay back on the bed, and continued to read his own island country detective comics.

Outside the house, the aunts were a little quiet, and they were in a panic!

They believed it!

They actually believed it!

What happened now was pushed back by the chicken coop, and they felt that it was surprisingly reasonable!

In addition, after Si Chen solved the "haunting", they sighed even more sadly, feeling that they were too impulsive in selling the shop.

As a result, conspiracy theories without evidence fell from the sky and quickly fermented among a group of aunts with mediocre IQs.

In the end, they decided to unite and find all the other residents selling shops and settle the score with Si Chen!

People, sometimes when you are in negative emotions, your IQ goes down.

There is a saying that you cannot wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

By the same token, you can't convince someone who is motivated by self-interest.

After all is said and done, profit comes first.

They were unwilling to give in and felt that they were at a disadvantage, so they wanted to take advantage of the weak situation and get a seemingly reasonable advantage from Si Chen.

Does this phenomenon sound familiar?

Looking back at the Internet in later generations, as soon as a certain content comes out, a keyboard warrior like Jiwotou will analyze it casually, but he will not be able to produce any evidence.
