Li Ming just woke up, stretched his waist, and started an ordinary and peaceful day. Li Ming is an ordinary office worker who lives a simple and regular life. He put on his neat shirt and was just about to go out when the doorbell rang.
Courier!The voice of the courier came from outside the door.
Li Ming was a little puzzled because he didn't remember what he had recently shopped online. He opened the door and was greeted by several packages, two of which were unusually heavy. The courier left in a hurry, leaving behind a floor full of packages and a hint of curiosity.
What is it?Li Ming muttered to himself. He opened the heaviest package, and for a moment, his eyes widened. The package was filled with dense cash and piled up into a small mountain.
Oh my God, what's going on?Li Ming was shocked and confused. His heart raced, and he was at a loss for a moment.
Li Ming stood in the living room, the pile of cash in front of him as if whispering to him. His heart was pounding, and his inner struggle began. It's a huge sum of money, enough to change his ordinary life, but it's a mystery, which makes him feel uneasy.
He looked around, and the humble but cozy cottage was a testament to his years of hard work and frugality. Now, this windfall, as if mocking his ordinariness.
What should I do?Li Ming muttered to himself. He thought of his parents, who had been industrious and honest all his life, and had taught him to be upright. Li Ming's hand lightly touched the cash, and the struggle in his heart became more and more intense.
He tried to imagine what he could do with the money: buy a house, change cars, travel ......These dreams, once out of reach, now seem within reach. But with that comes an indescribable sense of fear and guilt.
Li Ming did it and sighed deeply. He looks back on his work, which is mundane but full of fulfillment. He loved his life, even though it wasn't rich. The money, as tempting as it is, does not belong to him.
Is this a temptation?Or is it a trap?He pondered. His gaze fell on cash again, and at that moment, he seemed to see another self, a self corrupted by money and morally degraded.
At night, Li Ming tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep. His mind raced like a wild horse, jumping from this choice to that consequence. Eventually, when the first rays of sunlight poured into the room through the window, he seemed to find the answer.
With the arrival of the morning light, Li Ming's heart gradually became clearer. His resolve has been strengthened – he has to make the right choice. Li Ming picked up the **, took a deep breath, and dialed the number of the police station.
* Connected, his voice was firm and clear: "Hello, I'm Li Ming, and I want to report a ......."Very special circumstances. ”
Under the guidance of **, Li Ming described in detail the cash received the day before. There was a hint of nervousness in his voice, but more of a resolute and reassuring one.
Soon the police came to his home. They inspected the scene, recorded the details, and took the two packages full of cash. Li Ming's heart was full of mixed emotions, but he knew he had done the right thing.
After the police left, Li Ming sat quietly on the sofa, and his heart gradually calmed down. He felt a sense of relief, as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden. He knew that his choice was difficult, but it was a sign of integrity.
He looked out the window, the sky was clear and the sun was shining. At this critical moment, he chose to stick to the bottom line of honesty and morality. At this moment, he felt stronger and more proud than ever.
A few days later, the true owner of the cash was found, and a company made a mistake in transit. The company expressed its gratitude to Li Ming for his honesty and courage and rewarded him with a large honorarium.
The news quickly spread throughout the community, and Li Ming's behavior became a topic of conversation among everyone. His neighbors, co-workers, and even strangers expressed admiration for his choice.
You are our hero. An elderly neighbor said, holding his hand. Li Ming smiled, his heart full of warmth.
That night, Li Ming sat alone in the house, thinking about this wonderful experience. He realized that true wealth is not the money in his hands, but the principles and beliefs that he holds in his heart.
His story has spread in the community, inspiring more people to think about the importance of honesty and morality. Li Ming's life has returned to peace, but his heart has become richer and more determined because of this experience.
What would you do if it were you?
