"Why did you smash my phone? What's wrong with me recording a video? I was just sharing my daily work and I wasn't bothering anyone. The platform didn't ban me, which means I did nothing wrong!"
"You don't want to make money yourself, yet you're stopping others from doing so? Is there anyone like you?"
"What are you so arrogant about? You even smashed my phone!"
"You're so poor, no job, no money. I'm afraid you won't even be able to pay me next month's salary. I'm advising you to do live streaming to make money for your own good. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your dad. This free traffic and free money is equivalent to several months' salary for you in one day. There's nothing shameful about making money."
“You have to listen to your uncle. I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice. Look at my recent income, count the digits, it’s enough for your dad to stay in the hospital.”
“Look at your dad, and then look at you. I’m making my money and I’m not bothering anyone, and your dad isn’t losing anything either. How about this… don’t make a big deal out of this. I’ll give you some money, and I’ll give you some advice on how to get traffic to your live stream. I already have experience with live streaming. Look at my 200,000 followers; I can already sell products. You’re pretty, so you can sell products today. The most important thing for a person is to have money in their pocket…”
The caregiver tried to persuade Xia Wan with both soft and hard tactics, but Xia Wan wouldn't listen. She not only smashed his phone but also called the police to arrest him.
It's impossible to reach a settlement. The caregiver's violation of the patient's privacy is illegal, and they will not only have to compensate for the losses but also go to jail.
The caregiver, who was taken away by the police, kept cursing and swearing.
"Your Xia family deserves to be like this, and Xia Qingshan deserves to be paralyzed! Xia Wan, do you still think you're some kind of rich young lady? Even if you are, you're just a streetwalker. Without me, no one will be willing to take care of your father. Every time I take care of him, I feel disgusted. He poops on the bed and has sores all over his body!"
Xia Wan had no idea when Xia Qingshan woke up. After dealing with the caregiver, she went into the bedroom and saw Xia Qingshan staring with bloodshot eyes, his eyes wet. Because he couldn't move, she couldn't even wipe away his tears, which instantly overflowed from the corners of his eyes and soaked the pillow.
Xia Qingshan heard everything and knew it all.
He's been sleeping a lot during the day and having trouble sleeping at night lately, which has caused serious problems with his sleep schedule. He thought it was because he was sick, but it turns out that his caregiver gave him sleeping pills and used him as a gimmick for a live stream while he was asleep. He doesn't know what they recorded, but it must have been very ugly.
Xia Qingshan had been proud for decades. He knew he was in a sorry state now, but that didn't mean he wanted to embarrass himself online. His pride couldn't accept it; for him, it would be better to die.
What's the point of living? He's a useless person who can only lie in bed eating, drinking, and defecating. He's old enough to wear diapers, spills food while eating, and causes trouble for Xia Wan. He's just a burden.
If it weren't for him, Xia Wan would definitely be living a better life than she is now.
“Dad…it’s okay, don’t cry…it’s not your fault, it’s the bad guys’ fault. This will never happen again, I promise you. And don’t worry about the video online, not many people know about it.”
He's paralyzed, not mentally impaired. If not many people knew, how could the caregiver have earned so much money and gained 200,000 followers?
"Why didn't you tell me?" Xia Qingshan's lips trembled, his voice muffled. "When did you resign?"
Xia Wan's face stiffened, knowing that she could no longer hide it, so she told Xia Qingshan about her recent work situation.
"I've been looking for a job lately."
"So, all those times you told me you ate well at the company, got a raise, made deals, and got a year-end bonus... were you lying to me?"
"I'm sorry, Dad, I'm so useless. If I had listened to you and joined the company to learn earlier, I wouldn't be like this... It's my fault." At this age, she should be earning money to support her father, but she has made sure that Xia Qingshan doesn't have a single good day. Even the current troubles in the Xia family are largely related to her.
If things had gone according to the dream, after she married Zhuang Yan, he would have entered the Xia family. When Xia Qingshan was sick, he would have arranged the best team to take care of him, even doing everything himself. He would not only take care of Xia Qingshan's physical health but also his mental well-being. She was too useless; compared to Zhuang Yan, she was nothing.
"It's not your fault, I've dragged you down with me, Wanwan, Dad doesn't want to live anymore... Buy me a bottle of pesticide, I want to die, what's the point of living like this? I can't do anything, I'm just a useless piece of trash!"
"Dad, I'll find a good job. This time I'll hire a new caregiver so we can focus on my treatment..."
Xia Qingshan was trapped in a dead end. His desire to die grew stronger and stronger. He held his breath, trying to suffocate himself. His face turned from white to red, and finally, his eyes rolled back and he fainted from the shock.
Xia Wan hurriedly called for an ambulance, used the little money she had left to pay the medical bills, and also hired a psychologist to counsel Xia Qingshan.
The caregiver's live stream made Xia Wan a minor internet sensation, and the platform permanently banned the caregiver's account.
Many netizens felt sorry for Xia Wan, and those who had been criticizing her stopped. Some even said they would support her if she were willing to do live-streaming e-commerce.
Xia Wan was all too aware of the backlash that live streaming could bring. She was not doing well now, but she couldn't bring herself to sell her pitifulness online and beg without any limits like a caregiver.
Even now, she's still thinking about dignity. What's the use of dignity? Is it worth anything? Can't we get her father a better treatment?
But if her father knew that she earned money this way, he would probably be even less willing to accept treatment.
Things took a turn for the better.
A company contacted her and asked her to come for an interview. The salary was over 10,000 yuan a month plus commission, overtime pay, and a year-end bonus if she did well.
