Chapter 419 Is it worth it?
The account name is similar to the second-hand platform name.
The video's content is simple: two girls are half-sisters. Their father's two marriages ended in divorce. He was devastated and committed suicide two years ago. They have been living with their grandfather ever since.
Everything could have been so uneventful, but who knew the accident would happen so soon.
The person who hit the person was a drunkard. His family was so poor that he could not afford to pay compensation.
My grandfather was seriously injured, and although there were some humanitarian donations, they were a drop in the bucket.
Netizens in the comment section were all offering suggestions. Some asked for a fundraising channel to be opened, some asked for the payment code to be directly posted, but more were questioning.
These people seem to be living in a vacuum, their brains are completely undeveloped.
Even a penny can make a hero fail, let alone tens of thousands of dollars.
"Without even 300,000 yuan, what's the point of living?"
"He's trying to scam you out of money, right? Your grandfather looks at least ninety years old, why would you save him?"
"Oh my god, it's so beautiful. Hey, I have money, it depends on whether you are willing or not."
Things like this are vicious and vulgar, and make people angry.
Some people even reported the sisters' accounts, resulting in the blocking of their payment channels.
All donations from netizens have been frozen.
Someone offered a suggestion in the comment section, "I see you guys are fans of celebrities, so why not sell the merchandise you've collected? If the price is high, someone will buy it!"
"That's right, if we don't use it now, when will we use it?"
"Ahhhh, don't be reluctant! Things can be returned, but people are the most important!"
"Change your name, change your authentication, and don't let that crazy person find it. If possible, I'll lend you my account. I have a lot of accounts anyway, so I'm not afraid of being blocked."
Could it be that we guys signed our names just now because we saw this video?
The account has decent traffic, but only a few hundred followers. Perhaps this account is just a love story, and isn't making any money yet.
But Yuan Lai felt that one of them looked familiar. They had the same beautiful almond-shaped eyes as the girl she had risked her life to save.
Especially the photo at the back, the family photo.
Yuan Lai felt that such a coincidence was impossible in the world, but as luck would have it, she called the number she hadn't contacted for a long time.
"Hello? Who is this?" It was a woman's voice, the girl's mother.
"Isn't your daughter home?"
"No, Xiaoyu went to school and I confiscated her phone. Who are you?"
"I'll look for her after she gets out of school."
The woman opposite suddenly became angry and started yelling at Yuan Lai, "You're the one who caused our child to become a fan?! How old are you? How old is she? Do you have no conscience? If you call my daughter again, I'll have you killed!"
"Mother."
"It's time to go home and do your homework."
"Xiaoyu?" Yuan Lai tried to call the girl's name.
"Hey, Sister Yuan, I'm here! I've been so good lately and haven't gone anywhere! I even made the school team!"
Xiaoyu grabbed the phone and reported the latest situation to Yuan Lai.
Yuan Lai asked, "Do you have any sisters or something like that? Someone a little older than you?"
"What kind of bullshit question are you asking? Did Sun ask you to ask this? Tell him that a divorce is a divorce, and don't bother me anymore."
The other party hung up the phone and called directly, staring at Yuan Lai, "How many times have you been with someone? So young? You want that kind of man too, you're really not picky."
"But you should pay child support every month, right?" When Yuan Lai saw the other person's face, he became more certain of his guess and decided to get straight to the point.
The other party stopped talking for a moment.
Xiaoyu stood behind the woman and looked at her mother in confusion.
"That man died two years ago. Your daughter is raising money to save her grandfather. I'm just a caring netizen, passing on a message. It's up to you what you do."
After hanging up the video, Yuan Lai spread out his hands, his palms were sweaty.
During the breaks in the games, the brothers were still following the sisters' real-time updates, hoping that all they heard was good news.
"I think most of the things are sold out. Do you have enough money? I'm not good at math."
"It's definitely not enough. No matter how high the price is, the quantity is here. They posted a lot of them before but didn't put them up."
"Ah, what are you hesitating about now?"
"There's no need to be so harsh on them. They're young, and it happened so suddenly. Even an adult wouldn't be able to handle it!"
"That's right, wait a little longer."
"I told you it was a scam, but you didn't believe me."
"They took the money and ran away a long time ago. What are you waiting for? You are a bunch of fools."
Refresh the feed and you will see that the sisters have released all their out-of-print T-shirts, albums, T-shirts, hand-painted canvas bags, etc.
Although the price is high, it is sold out in seconds.
"Everyone is right. People are the most important. We can't lose grandpa. I'm sorry for ten days."
Ten minutes later, the two sisters posted another update to report that they were safe. "Thank you for your concern. Grandpa's condition has stabilized and he is no longer in danger of death. Also, the money issue has been resolved. If anyone who bought something from me wants a refund, they can contact us for a refund."
"Huh? How did you solve the money problem? Did you rob a bank?"
"Don't just report good news and not bad news!"
"Yeah, we don't know you, so what's there to worry about?"
"I hope it's a good outcome. I've been so emo these past few days after reading some sad stories."
Two hours later, the two sisters sent a picture, which was a payment record, showing that they had indeed paid the hospital.
"Don't worry, the medical expenses have been paid, and someone will pay for it later. If you want a refund, you can get one."
"I cried my heart out. At this point, they still wanted a refund."
"After all, it was out of print, so you can imagine how fierce the competition was back then."
"Hey, I shouldn't be online today. Looking at your phone before an exam is a big no-no."
"Alright, alright, let's go."
"Go see if you can find any bargains, hehe."
Things suddenly took a turn for the better, and my tense nerves instantly relaxed. The originally tense atmosphere of the game immediately became joyful.
The director was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.
He announced the final game: "Okay, now for the last game—water basketball! The rules are simple. Whoever shoots the most basketballs wins and gets a complete set of luxury skincare products from the brand, covering an entire skincare cycle!"
Zhuo Yuan was surprised: "That's it? Director, we usually don't wear makeup!"
He Haonan, who was standing by, also agreed, "Yeah!" He threw away his hat and said, "My skin is so good, I don't need any care at all!"
Li Gengyun, who was sitting on the shore, looked a little melancholy. "Can we play some land games? I'm a little afraid of water..."
Li Hao also quickly raised his hand and said, "I'm seasick! Director, I'm seasick!"
"Skin care products are not as good as a good meal." Chen Shaoxi leaned over and peeked at the game instructions in the hands of the director team.
The director smiled and began to have the props team set up the props. "There are no boats, and we won't be launching into the water. This is a non-Newtonian fluid. You can stand wherever you want. You can fight alone or form an alliance. This is the area! First, find a basketball hoop at the edge of the area. Stand outside the yellow line and shoot into the moving hoops on either side. The person who makes the most shots wins. You can block, but you can't use your hands! You'll have your hands tied up soon. We have referees watching over us. Violations won't count."
Jiang Dunhao could already foresee the intense gaming battle: "That's it, I'm definitely not going to get first place."
Li Gengyun on the side seemed extremely excited, this was their home court.
As the saying goes, one's own failure is not terrible. What really makes people grit their teeth is their brother's success.
"Alliance, alliance!" Lu Zhuo shouted excitedly, holding Wang Yiheng tightly and rushing directly towards Li Gengyun, "First come, first served!"
This speed is too fast, which is a bit tiring; if the speed is too slow, it will be difficult to move forward.
The left and right brain jump back and forth.
Zhao Yibo suddenly shouted, "This is harder to walk on than Field No. 5!" His feet were already deeply sunk into the fluid, as if being dragged by an invisible force, unable to break free.
Zhao Xiaotong asked, "Does Director Yang have a time limit?"
His question attracted everyone's attention.
"Do you want to have a limit? If you want, you can set a time."
Wang Yiheng suggested, "How about ten minutes? Too short and there won't be enough time, and too long and it's unnecessary."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Shaoxi wailed, "Ten minutes? That's too long! Five minutes is about right!"
"Three minutes..." Zhuo Yuan said weakly.
"Then let's not compete anymore!" Li Hao fanned the flames.
He Haonan immediately followed, "Let's go home."
"Hurry up and shout start!" Jiang Dunhao stepped one foot into the pool, eager to finish the game as soon as possible.
A crisp whistle sounded and the game officially began.
If you want to walk on fluid, you must keep moving forward. Once you relax or lose strength, your legs will sink immediately.
Since it is impossible to maintain the center of gravity while bending over, the rules of the competition have been changed accordingly: the staff will hold a small bamboo basket with several basketballs in it to make it easier for the contestants to take the balls.
As soon as the game started, Li Hao reacted quickly. He moved his feet flexibly on the fluid, snatched the basketball from Lu Zhuo's hand, grabbed it, ran two steps, and threw the ball into the basket without hesitation.
The basketball drew an arc in the air and fell into the basket accurately, making a "click" sound.
"Yeah!!" The brothers cheered for each other's performance, although they didn't see clearly who made the shot.
"Wow, the first point was actually scored by Li Hao!" Li Gengyun stepped quickly on the spot in disbelief.
"I'm a macho man, what do you think?" Li Hao said proudly.
"Okay, okay, let's play the next round quickly!" Zhao Xiaotong urged.
The pool is not very big, and it is too crowded for ten people to stand in it. They also have to keep moving at a certain speed, basically circling around it. The distance is so close that they can just raise their hands to knock away the opponent's basketball.
No one took the basketball, everyone was determined to die together.
He Haonan suddenly realized, "Hey, if we all lose, then Li Hao will be first! No, we have to grab it!"
"Forget about this." Wang Yiheng wanted to steal a basketball, but Zhao Xiaotong next to him got there first, so he failed to grab the ball.
"Hey, why are you bullying a child?"
The basketball went into the basket accurately. Zhao Xiaotong turned to Wang Yiheng and said, "Brother, you have already crossed the threshold of twenty years old."
