No one in the village said that he used public services for private purposes. In fact, they wished Wang Qing could play more, so that they could move a small bench and sit behind him to see the world.

On this day, he also took advantage of the time after dinner to take several villagers to surf the Internet and read news. However, after clicking on a familiar forum, he found a different post.

"The official political inquiry platform is open! Everyone can make anonymous suggestions and ask political questions!"

Wang Qing curiously opened the link in the post. After jumping, he discovered that this was actually an official platform!

Moreover, judging from the number of replies, the popularity is not low.

There is a list on the left side of the web page, titled "Ranking of the Hottest Agenda". After clicking on it, it is full of recent hot topics.

What's the problem of the elderly in rural areas, what's the problem of schooling in remote areas, what's the problem of wages for migrant workers, etc.

Moreover, under each agenda, you can see the discussions of many netizens.

Wang Qing looked at them one by one. On one side, he was deeply touched, but at the same time, on the other side, he felt something was abnormal.

The issues of students’ schooling, medical security, and wages of migrant workers are understandable, but what about the rural elderly?

Are there really so many rural elderly people choosing to commit suicide?

As far as he knew, Luojiao Village was already one of the most difficult natural villages in the province, but he had only heard of one suicide case since he was a child.

Even in this case, the person concerned chose to give up because he could not bear the long-term pain. From the beginning to the end, although the children were incompetent and unable to give the elderly the best medical treatment, they never said that they would let the elderly go on their own.

words like "solve".

This is weird.

If this is the case in Luojiao Village, is the situation in other places even worse than in Luojiao Village?

After thinking for a moment, he turned around and asked:

"Second uncle, have you ever heard of any old man in our village having suicidal thoughts?"

"Suicide? Hang yourself?"

The second uncle scratched his head and replied:

"Twenty or thirty years ago, that was quite a lot - but there was a lot of talk and little talk."

"Your old lady, she was hanged. She couldn't bear the pain in her feet and had to die. Later, several young people collected medicine and gave her massages, and they saved her."

"Since her time, it has basically disappeared."

"You also know about that aunt, right down there. Didn't you always scare people when you were little, saying there was a hanged man down there and so on?"

Wang Qing's face showed a bit of embarrassment. He quickly waved his hand to stop his second uncle and said:

"That was all because I was ignorant when I was young. Haven't you heard of it now?"

"I've never heard of it! Wang Shu's grandma is suffering enough, right? All her children are gone, and she is left with a little grandson, and she can't walk. Do you think she is going to die?"

"Two days ago, I was asked to sell medicine. He said he wanted to buy an electric wheelchair - hey, all these things are electric, don't you think it's strange?"

"Come on, Ah Qing, go to that place and check online to see if it's available. If so, let's buy one for her."

"Don't be busy yet."

Wang Qing shook his head and continued to look at the screen.

The doubts in his heart became more and more intense.

What the hell is going on?

Where did those legendary “rural old men” come from?

The posts continued to be refreshed, and at this moment, he suddenly saw that there was actually a post mentioning Luojiao Village!

Moreover, the person who posted the post also used Luojiao Village as an example to demonstrate the so-called "suicide rate among rural elderly people".

Wang Qing felt his anger well up all of a sudden.

Isn’t this slander?!

He stood up suddenly, wishing he could reach out and catch the rumor maker on the other side of the screen and beat him up. But after calming down for a moment, he suddenly understood:

Isn’t the purpose of this platform’s existence to allow ordinary people like me to reason and provide evidence?

So, he thought for a moment and said:

"Second uncle, please contact me and call the elderly people in the village together. I want to take a video of them."

A few hours later, the video Wang Qing took of the village elders was successfully uploaded to the Internet.

In the video, he carefully asked about the status of each elderly person and introduced each elderly person's situation.

He even asked the old people the same question:

"What is your greatest wish now?"

The answers can be said to be all kinds of strange.

Wang Shu's grandma wants an electric wheelchair.

She said: "The brakes must be strong enough! Otherwise, you won't be able to go down the steep slope!"

This sentence caused everyone in the picture to laugh.

In addition to her slightly "expensive" wish, some of the old people in the village where they settled wanted to see their children working outside more often, some wanted to talk to someone, and some wanted to call their own homes.

Of course, there are also people who want to go to the market and eat the freshly baked sweet potato chips they had when they were young, rather than the ones that have been brought back for several hours and are already limp.

Or, some people say they want to visit a longevity store in town and choose a coffin for themselves in advance to put at home.

According to her, the earlier the coffin is bought, the happier the family will be.

——

This is the answer closest to death.

But among all the answers, none of them was "want to die."

Wang Qing doesn’t need to say anything else, everyone who sees the video already has the answer.

How can a person who still has wishes in his heart want to die?

At the end of the video, Wang Qing said to the camera:

"Actually, the main purpose of recording this video is to refute the rumors on the Internet that are maliciously smearing our settlement village."

"In that rumor, you said that Luojiao Village has traffic congestion, poor environment and backward economy."

"There's no denying that it used to be like this."

"But even in that case, we people here will never end our lives meaninglessly."

"For us, as long as there is destiny, there is hope."

"Now, doesn't hope come?"

As he spoke, the camera turned towards the cement road winding away from the mountain.

"This is a rural road that we just repaired this year. Let's not compare it with the city, but at least it will be no problem for a truck to run on it."

"Many things that we didn't dare to think about before have become easier now."

"Thank you to the country, thank you to every village."

"We have roads, telephones, and even the Internet here. The next step is to provide running water."

"Oh right."

Wang Qing paused deliberately and then said:

"We also have to thank South Africa, those devils who spread rumors about us and the masters behind you."

"What we are saying is that if we must pursue the case, there is still your money on this road in Luojiao Village."

"Thank you boss!"
Chapter completed!
