Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Skills Learned In Prison
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After hearing Chen Yu’s words, Ah Wei kept sobbing.
Zhou Kexin and the viewers were all stunned.
In their impression, Chen Yu always had a faint smile on his face every time he streamed.
His voice was neither hurried nor slow.
Unless the comments in the chat were suspected of making personal attacks, Chen Yu would only warn them in a more serious manner.
Usually, during livestreams, Chen Yu rarely spoke in such a serious tone.
Why did Chen Yu seem to have changed into a different person regarding Ah Wei?
He immediately declared All Wei unforgivable.
“When he came out of prison, he should’ve behaved.”
“If he continues to cheat and swindle, if it were me, I wouldn’t like him either.”
“I have a few classmates who are proud of getting arrested.”
“But Ah Wei is willing to turn over a new leaf.”
“Tsk! Would someone turning over a new leaf sell problematic fruits?”
“To put it bluntly, this person is rotten to the bone.”
“No matter what profession or status you have, you first must have a correct outlook on life!”
The viewers sent comments to express their opinions.
They believed that Chen Yu hated All Wei. Firstly, it was because of what All Wei had done previously that angered the masses.
Secondly, Chen Yu must have been disgusted that Ah Wei used his prison experience as a selling point and crafted a pitiful persona to sell problematic fruits that would harm his consumers.
Ah Wei looked at the comments targeting him and said tearfully, “Please listen to my explanation. Regarding the fruits, I admit that 1 bought them from a fruit wholesaler.”
“But there’s a hidden reason behind this.”
“You haven’t been to our place, so you don’t know how poor our village is.”
“Our village is surrounded by mountains, and there is very little land that can be cultivated.”
“Many villages will choose to leave the mountains to work and rarely come back.”
Ah Wei wiped his tears as he told chat about how terrible the living environment in his hometown was.
He also explained how little money the villagers get from working so hard all year round.
This resulted in a large number of dropouts and NEETs.
In order to make up for the bad influence he had once had on his village, Ah Wei helped their village find a way to get rid of poverty through livestreaming.
However, he did not expect the village to lack the money to modernize its fruit-planting methods.
As a result, their annual fruit production was not much.
Ah Wei wanted to tell the truth when faced with a large number of orders that could not be fulfilled, but the villagers disagreed.
So, he had no choice but to take the initiative to buy fruits from outsiders and package them to look like their village produced them.
“I tried to stop them, but everyone was blinded by the money.”
“I feel that the quality of the fruits we got wasn’t too bad. So… so, I kept this matter a secret.”
Ah Wei stood up and bowed to the screen.
As he cried, he apologized to chat.
“Miss Zhou, I’m sorry. I sincerely apologize to you.”
Ah Wei got up and said, “You’re not from the mountains. You can’t imagine how hard our lives are.”
“Once 1 tell you the truth, not only will our village’s reputation be tarnished, but we will also lose our only way to get out of poverty.”
“On one side is my conscience, and on the other are hundreds of villagers eager to get rich.”
“1 lied to everyone because 1 had no choice…”
As Zhou Kexin listened to All Wei’s description of the poverty in their village, she couldn’t bear it anymore.
“Sigh, if 1 were All Wei, what would I do?”
Zhou Kexin asked herself.
Although All Wei had almost ruined his reputation, it was for the entire village’s livelihood.
Once Ah Wei admitted it, not only would his live stream be banned by the platform but also by the media.
Their village would also be thrown back to its original state.
Thinking of this, Zhou Kexin unknowingly forgot about the excessive pesticides.
Many people had the same thoughts as Zhou Kexin.
People are not saints and sages; no one is free from mistakes.
Moreover, this wasn’t the case.
“Dr. Chen, I’m sorry. I lost control of my emotions just now and said something that made you angry. Please forgive me.”
Ah Wei apologized to Chen Yu again.
At the same time, he took out his phone and showed many photos.
“Everyone, look. These photos were taken when I returned to the village after 1 was released from prison.”
“Who would believe that these photos were taken a few years ago?”
Chat was shocked when they saw the photos.
Ah Wei’s village looked miserable.
All the houses were dilapidated and looked like they were about to collapse at any moment.
Weeds that were half the height of a person could be seen everywhere.
The clothes of the village children were tattered, and the adults’ clothes were not much better.
The following few photos were of the farmland.
Apart from a few farmlands, the surroundings were all high mountains.
The only thing that could be considered modern was the cement road leading out of the village.
“Miss Zhou, why don’t you forgive him? He’s quite pitiful.”
“I didn’t expect the countryside to be in such a terrible state.”
“The entire village is basically bare and tattered. There’s not even a decent piece of furniture.”
“It doesn’t matter if Miss Zhou forgives him or not. I’ve forgiven him anyway. I hope he turns over a new leaf this time.
“No wonder people say that you shouldn’t be too serious when watching a livestream. The internet is full of fucking hypocrits.”
“If you say that, you are implying that a person who has committed a crime is a piece of trash who deserves to die. Are you saying that he should be begging on the streets after serving his sentence?”
“He has been punished by the law and has even admitted his mistake. Someone who’s willing to turn over a new leaf is worth more than gold.”
“That’s enough. Haven’t any of you done anything wrong?”
After hearing Ah Wei’s tearful explanation and witnessing the poverty in his village, many viewers showed sympathy and pity.
“Prison is indeed a place where hidden talents are everywhere.”
While everyone in the chat was discussing the matter, Chen Yu raised his hand and clapped twice.
“You, an uneducated person, actually have such powerful language skills.”
“You managed to shift the conflict and change the topic quietly.”
Chen Yu couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.
In such a short period of time, All Wei could secretly change the topic and even clear his name.
Ah Wei was indeed something else.
Using the poverty of the entire village, he found a perfect excuse for his illegal operations by tying the two instances together.
Even if there was a mistake, it was the fault of the entire village.
It had little to do with Ah Wei.
He stealthily changed the focus and shifted chat’s direction to the poverty of his village.
He claimed he had no choice but to submit to the collective decision of the entire village and guided chat to forget about the excessive pesticides in his fruits.
“Dr. Chen, I’m not changing the topic. I’m just telling the truth.
Ah Wei explained that it was indeed their village’s fault, and he was willing to compensate.
All he wanted was to ask everyone to give their village and himself another chance.
“1 told you, you don’t deserve this chance.”
“The court’s verdict only records the process of your crime.”
“Many things that are not related to the case are not written on it.”
Chen Yu sternly rebutted.
“For example, you deliberately told the police that you killed your grandmother..”
