Chapter 21 One second you're rich and carefree, the next you're bankrupt.
What method?
Seeing that many netizens were curious, Yun Shu explained in detail, "Go to the local City God Temple to worship the City God, explain what you want to do, remember to be polite and prepare offerings. If the City God agrees, he will appear in your dream at night, and then you can burn what you made for the deceased."
Of course, everyone's skill level is different, so the quality of the paper offerings will vary.
Yun Shu thought for a moment and then said, "I don't recommend that ordinary people get involved in this business. Even if the City God agrees that your things can be burned, sometimes some customers may be dissatisfied and come to smash up the shop."
[Just like Jiang Zemin, right?]
"Forget it. If I open a shop up there and a customer gets angry and beats me up, I can at least get compensation. But if someone like Lao Jiang gets beaten up, I don't even know what to do."
Everything else is fine, but I'm worried that if a guest gets upset, he might take me downstairs to keep him company.
Seeing the comments, Yun Shu seized the opportunity to say, "If any ghosts cause you trouble, you can contact me. I can help you solve it, but the fee will be a bit higher."
[A paper craft seller also does ghost-catching on the side?]
[Could you catch one live on stream? I've never seen a ghost before. If you can do it live, I'll give the streamer ten rockets.]
"Is that rich guy upstairs looking for thrills? Yun Shu, don't listen to him. I've heard that ghosts wandering the human world are either evil spirits or vengeful ghosts; none of them are benevolent. It's not worth risking your life for a little money."
[She said she could solve it, so why isn't she saying anything? Why doesn't she dare to catch it live on stream? Isn't that just like those fake Taoist priests who scam money? Why don't you go to that haunted place right now and catch one? If I see a ghost in your live stream tonight, I'll give you a tip.]
It's almost 1 a.m., and Yunshu is about to go to sleep after finishing her big order of 100 paper figurines.
Yun Shu: "Not now, I need to rest."
[She's just too scared. Being able to make paper effigies doesn't mean she can catch ghosts. She did a paranormal adventure livestream before, and she screamed in terror over a tattered piece of cloth.]
The netizen kept sending comments, as if they absolutely had to see Yun Shu go ghost-catching today, and even said that if Yun Shu didn't go, she would be a coward and a dead liar.
Yun Shu was about to end her live stream when she saw him still posting, so she asked, "If I catch him tonight, will you give me ten rockets as a reward?"
[Of course, ghost hunting is all about nighttime! What's the point of going during the day tomorrow? This kind of thing is only exciting at night. You're too scared to go tonight, and you still dare to say you're helping people solve paranormal problems? I'll give you a tip if you go tonight!]
【If you don't want to go tonight, you can go tomorrow night or the night after. Why does it have to be tonight? Yunshu has been making paper offerings ever since she came back from the variety show today, and she hasn't rested at all. Can't you let Yunshu rest for one night? You can't be this capricious even if you have money!】
Sorry, having money means you can do whatever you want! I'll only watch her live stream tonight, and I might not watch it again later. Anyway, this is a one-time opportunity, so let's see if she can seize it.
These internet celebrities and livestreamers do these attention-grabbing things just to make money through tips, right? If they can't even meet that basic requirement, what's the point of livestreaming?
Yun Shu is not off the air yet.
She glanced at his account and said honestly, "I can catch him now, but I'm afraid I can't come up with the ten rockets you mentioned for the reward."
[Hilarious! My family has assets worth hundreds of millions, and I get millions in pocket money every month. Why would I be short of 500,000 yuan? You're such a poor, ignorant fool.]
Yun Shu wasn't angry.
She said slowly and deliberately, "Yes, I am indeed quite poor, but better off than you. After all, your father's company is about to be seized, and he owes the bank hundreds of millions of yuan. Your bank card has already been frozen."
What rumors are you spreading? My family was perfectly fine yesterday, how could something have happened today!
Zuo Ziyi didn't believe it.
But when he tried to buy something with his phone, he couldn't pay.
"What the heck! It really doesn't work anymore!"
Zuo Ziyi played games all night last night, and slept all day today, waking up after 11 p.m.
I didn't go out today, so I only just found out that my bank card is no longer valid.
Yun Shu's voice came again, "Something happened to your family, and your father couldn't accept it and even wanted to commit suicide. If you have any conscience, go to the rooftop right now and stop him."
"What!"
Zuo Ziyi was about to call the bank to inquire about the status of his bank card.
Suddenly, a cry came from outside the window: "Old Zuo, don't do anything rash! The company has been seized, but we can do other businesses and pay back the money we owe!"
"mom!"
That's his mother's voice.
Zuo Ziyi quickly stood up and walked towards the window, and then realized that the noise was coming from the rooftop.
Zuo Ziyi's face turned pale. Remembering what Yun Shu had said, he immediately ran towards the rooftop.
He ran quickly to the rooftop and saw his father about to jump, and his mother almost couldn't stop him.
“How long will it take to pay back all this money? I might as well die! Death will be a relief!” his father said in despair.
"dad!"
Zuo Ziyi stepped forward to help, and together with his mother, they pulled his father down. "Dad, don't do this! What happened at home?!"
The father said sadly, "Son, I'm so sorry. The company is going to be seized, and our family still owes the bank a lot of money. We definitely can't pay it back."
Zuo Ziyi asked blankly, "How much do you owe? Why didn't you tell me before!"
"It's probably four or five hundred million. What's the point of telling you? All you do is play games all day. If I tell you, can you help me solve this problem?"
"I can help you think of a solution."
Zuo Ziyi said.
"What solutions can you come up with? You don't understand anything about the company. You graduated from university and spend all your time at home playing games and watching female streamers! Tell me, what solutions can you come up with to help me pay off four or five hundred million yuan!"
Zuo Ziyi: "..."
He suddenly realized that his father was right, and he had no idea how to refute him.
Overwhelmed with grief, Zuo's father became even more desperate upon seeing his son, and he threw himself off the rooftop again.
"I might as well just die, don't stop me! If I die, these debts will have nothing to do with you! I have a death insurance policy, so if I die, you can get some money for living expenses. Ziyi, take good care of your mother from now on, and stop wasting your life!"
Suddenly, Zuo's father became incredibly strong and shoved Zuo's mother to the ground. Zuo Ziyi, a shut-in who never exercised, couldn't hold him back at all.
"Dad! Dad, don't die!"
Zuo Ziyi's heart-wrenching screams rang out, and as he thought of his father's dying words, tears streamed down his face.
For the first time in his life, he felt regret—regret for not studying hard enough or not learning properly at the company.
Now, she can't help him at all and can only watch helplessly as her father, who has loved her since childhood, has to use his death to earn money for his future living expenses.
Zuo Ziyi was pushed to the ground by his father, and he clung tightly to his father's leg.
"Dad, please don't die! I beg you! I promise I'll work hard and be ambitious from now on. We'll pay back that money together, even if it takes a lifetime, just don't leave Mom and me behind!"
