"I don't resent them for this, because if it were our family, we would have done the same. Our families were struggling, there was really no other way," Shen Chenggang said. "I'm very grateful that our relatives were willing to lend us money even knowing our situation."
"These are all the IOUs from borrowing money from relatives," Shen Chenggang showed them one by one.
"I will also post these IOUs online for everyone to see. They are definitely not fake," Shen Chenggang said.
"When we couldn't borrow any more money, our family didn't have a single penny left. We only had enough to keep ourselves fed, not to mention eating well. You've all seen me live streaming, picking up discarded vegetable leaves at the market and eating rice with some greens."
"Our family ate like this before, even worse. We only sought to have enough to eat, and every penny we could save went to Su Yiqing's treatment."
"But this was still not enough. I was really forced into a corner. I couldn't just watch Su Yiqing die, could I? So, I borrowed money from loan sharks."
"Friends, I know borrowing from loan sharks is wrong. But I was really desperate, I didn't know what else to do."
"When my family couldn't scrape together a single penny, the only options were to borrow from loan sharks or sell the house."
"But this old and small house is the only place we have to shelter us from the wind and rain. If we really sell it, we'll have nowhere to live. We could rent a place temporarily, but what if we can't even afford the rent later?"
"Su Yiqing's illness is important, but I can't let my elderly mother end up homeless with me, can I?"
"It's my fault for not being able to earn money, that's why my father couldn't get treatment when he was sick," Shen Chenggang wiped away his tears. "Later, as everyone knows, Su Yiqing was recognized by the Su family, and she even said we were all dead. She kept my own sister from knowing we existed."
"Until recently..." Shen Chenggang recounted the events of the loan sharks coming after him, Su Yiqing refusing to repay the money, and Shen Mianyin being kidnapped as a result.
"In the end, it was my sister who paid the money," Shen Chenggang said. "That ungrateful Su Yiqing refused to pay a single cent and even told people that I owed gambling debts, that I borrowed 3 million."
Shen Chenggang heard everything the Su family said to Gu Luoan outside his mother's hospital room at the time.
Shen Mianyin reminded him not to let the Su family frame him, so he had to tell the story first to block the Su family's way out.
Therefore, Shen Chenggang said: "Regarding today's live stream, if the Su family tries to frame me afterward, I'll say this first: I have receipts for the debts I incurred for Su Yiqing's illness. The sum of these amounts matches the money I borrowed from loan sharks. Everyone knows how terrifying the interest on loan shark loans is. Adding the interest makes it exactly that amount."
"I have evidence, but does the Su family have any evidence to accuse me of gambling?" Shen Chenggang said. "Even now, the Su family still refuses to repay the money."
"Previously, in order to treat Su Yiqing's illness, we spent all our money and even incurred high-interest debt. My mother was ill but didn't dare go to the hospital, delaying it repeatedly until it became a serious illness."
"Fortunately, my younger sister found out about our existence. She didn't blame us at all. Not only did she pay off the high-interest debt, but she also took our mother to the doctor and cured her illness," Shen Chenggang said. "It's just that the illness was delayed for too long. The doctor also said that it was treated too late. Even though she's cured now, her health is not very good. If she had been treated earlier, she could have recovered much better."
[What a tragedy! It's all because of Su Yiqing.]
"My younger sister even wanted to rent a slightly larger house for us, but my mother and I both disagreed. She herself is still living in a rented house, and the three million she used to repay the high-interest debt was also borrowed from friends first," Shen Chenggang said in a few words, clearing Shen Mianyin of any suspicion so that others wouldn't think she had taken a lot of money from the Su family.
"She's the general manager of Jin Cheng Group, a high-level executive, and she still takes the subway to work every day." Shen Chenggang sighed. "She's not well-off, and we can't help her with anything. We can't hold her back any further."
"Besides, I'm healthy and able-bodied. I can deliver food and livestream. Now that I've paid off all my debts, things will get better eventually. Right now, I just want to make money as quickly as possible to pay back what my sister owes her friend." Shen Chenggang said, "We can't let my sister carry the debt we owe Su Yiqing. She didn't owe Su Yiqing anything."
"So when friends asked me before why I was still living so poorly even though I was making money from livestreaming?" Shen Chenggang smiled, "That's the reason. I'm telling everyone today."
"It might be tough for a while longer. The Su family refuses to pay the money back. I have to earn the money to pay back my sister's friend first." Shen Chenggang said, "Thank you all for listening to me."
"The reason I'm exposing this today is because I've already warned the Su family before. I asked them to repay the money, but they refused." Shen Chenggang then played a recording.
It was given to him by Shen Mianyin.
What Mr. and Mrs. Su said at the hospital that day, and why they wouldn't repay the money, was all clearly played in the recording.
Shen Chenggang truly admired this habit of his sister's. Whenever Mr. and Mrs. Su appeared, Shen Mianyin would immediately start recording. It's a really good habit.
It's clear that Shen Mianyin must have been taken advantage of by Mr. and Mrs. Su many times to have developed the habit of immediately recording them whenever she saw them.
"Therefore, I have no choice but to explain the situation to everyone here through this live stream," Shen Chenggang said. "I also urge the Su family to repay the money immediately. As long as you don't repay the money, I will not give up for a single day. Unless you kill me, I will definitely seek justice to the end!"
"Friends, if one day I suddenly stop live streaming and stop sending any messages, then it's possible that..."
[Don't worry, even if the Su family has money, they can't ignore the law.]
[Don't worry, brother, we're definitely watching.]
[We're keeping an eye on them for you.]
[The Su family is really not good people.]
[They've always had problems before, so it's not surprising that something like this happened now.]
After the live stream ended, Shen Chenggang posted the photos of the evidence he had already taken to all of his accounts on various platforms.
Reporter Tang acted very quickly. While Shen Chenggang was still live streaming, her company's official media account had already started publishing news articles, and even provided a link to Shen Chenggang's live stream.
As a result, the number of viewers in Shen Chenggang's live stream reached a new high.
Shen Chenggang also posted on Weibo, and the incident quickly shot to the top of Weibo's trending searches, with a "hot" tag following it.
Gu Huai-zhi saw it and didn't mind giving it a little push.
"President," Zhou Jingqi came into the office and said, "Just as you predicted, the Su family has contacted various platforms and media outlets, demanding that they remove the news, and Weibo has also received their request."
"But because we've already made our move, the platforms and media are very firm in rejecting them."
