Sad Moment of Fried Tofu Seller Knocking on Residents' Doors in the Middle of the Night Asking for Rice, Turns Out He Has Been Hungry All Day

Dream - A head of household will certainly do their best to earn a living for their family. They will even prioritize the interests of their family over themselves.

Various sacrifices are made so that the income earned is enough for all family members. Like what a tofu seller experienced, who had to sell until midnight because his merchandise had not been sold out.

Indeed, earning a living by selling is uncertain whether it will be popular or not. Therefore, it is uncertain when they can return home.

In a video uploaded by the Tiktok account @joymartin.123, a shop owner tells a story about being suddenly visited by a tofu seller in the middle of the night.

Not to offer his merchandise, but the tofu seller knocked on the shop door to ask for a plate of rice to fill his empty stomach since noon.

Hearing that, the shop owner's heart was moved to provide rice with whatever side dish he had. Then, the tofu seller ate the meal given by the shop owner eagerly.

“It's pitiful to see this fried tofu seller, he knocked on my shop door at 12 midnight, asking for rice because he hasn't eaten since noon,” he wrote in the video.

Selling until midnight, the income earned by the fried tofu seller was only Rp20,000. So he had to consider using that money to fill his own stomach.

Finally, he was willing to endure his hunger until midnight in order to provide the meager earnings from his sales for his family.

Then, he had to gather the courage to knock on the shop door because he could no longer bear his hunger.

After being uploaded, this sad moment went viral on social media and the video has been viewed more than 1.1 million times. Not only that, the video also received various responses from netizens in the comment section.

“Thank you for the kind person who opened the door to provide sustenance.. may your blessings increase, sister,” wrote the account @girl_virgo.

“One bite of food that we give to those in need is more noble in the eyes of God than building a thousand places of worship...” wrote the account @fais in the comment section.

“Alhamdulillah, knocked on the door at midnight and still willing to open it... still willing to give food... may you be blessed,” wrote the account @Yuniiiii217.
