Chen Yu told everyone that the couple had simply intended to use their video to vent their anger, yet they hadn’t expected the video to receive so many views. [Life’s Winner’s grandfather was even more surprised.
A video of just a few minutes had caused him and his shop unimaginable damage.
At this moment, a paid comment floated by.
“Hey, I’ve seen this video before. I’ll send you all the link now. You guys go and take a look too.”
As the second comment appeared, a link was posted.
[Life’s Winner] copied and pasted the website address into the webpage.
The video was released on Huyu platform.
“Hi everyone. Did you know that there’s an old teahouse in the area?”
“It’s not a century-old teahouse. It’s a century-old garbage station.”
A woman in heavy make-up dressed in a cooling outfit stood in a teahouse.
She took out her phone and took a photo of the environment in the teahouse.
The teahouse was not big—about seventy to eighty square meters.
There were old-fashioned wooden tables and long wooden chairs inside.
On the left-hand side of the shop was a counter whose color had faded.
There were all kinds of tea bags behind.
Immediately after, the female streamer pointed her camera at a few small stoves.
A charcoal fire was burning, and a black teapot was placed on top.
“Have you ever seen such a disgusting teapot?”
“The teacup is glistening yellow. It’s obvious that someone has spat on it for a thousand years. It’s disgusting.”
“It’s not that the old people become bad, but that the bad people become old.”
“In order to earn money, he lacks a conscience.”
The content of the video was highly provocative.
An old man appeared on the camera. It was [Life’s Winner]’s grandfather.
The old man’s face was red with anger, and he kept saying something.
Unfortunately, the old man’s words were all silenced.
According to the female streamer, the old man was cursing her.
In order for the video to pass the review, the old man’s foul language was silenced.
There were thousands of comments in the video’s comment section.
70% supported the female streamer to expose the black-hearted shop.
A few netizens explained on behalf of the old man that many old teahouses were like this.
The color of the teacup was not dirt but tea stains.
A teacup used for a long time would have such a color.
Even the teacups at home would be stained after years of brewing tea.
Some viewers posted the details of the charges in the teahouse.
A cup of tea only costs fifty cents.
If the customer brought their own tea leaves, the shop owner would charge one yuan for the water, and they could stay as long as they wanted.
The other viewers didn’t believe this.
Instead, they thought these people were the trolls hired by the shop owner.
In the livestream, the chat fought for justice for the old man.
“A cup of tea is 50 cents? What?”
“The customers are willing to drink, but the people who don’t drink are talking shit.”
“I know all the regular customers who go there. If it were as bad as this streamer claims, this shop would have been closed long ago. It’s impossible for it to have a hundred years of history.”
“50 cents for a cup of tea. 1 don’t care if it’s good or not.”
“Although the shop is not clean, it is limited by the environment and other conditions. After all, its that cheap.”
“Twenty years ago, every single restaurant wasn’t even as clean as this. I’ve been eating in these places since I was young, and there’s no problem.”
“It’s only 50 cents, but you insist on five-star service.”
After waiting for the comments to decrease, Chen Yu continued to explain what happened after that.
“This video made a huge impact. It even reached the ears of their community.” “The community staff suggested that your grandfather close the teahouse for a few days to prevent the matter from worsening.”
“It would be bad if he met irrational fans who came looking for trouble.” “Little did you know that your grandfather has already encountered trouble?” “Before the staff came, many people followed suit and went to your grandfather’s shop to take photos. All kinds of foul language were heard.” “This is the first time your grandfather has encountered such a problem.” “No matter how he explained it, no one believed him.”
“He thought that the claim that his community wanted him to close his shop temporarily to avoid the limelight was fake, and they wanted to close his shop for real.”
“The community workers are being kind, but it’s hard to explain such rumors online.”
“People will only believe what they want to believe. They have no interest in refuting rumors.”
“If the community helps explain, not only will the netizens not believe it, they will think that the community is covering up.”
“The best way to deal with it is to wait for the storm to pass.”
At this point, Chen Yu couldn’t help but sigh.
[Life’s Winner’s grandfather valued his innocence more than his life.
In the end, he chose to walk down a dead end by using his own death to prove his innocence.
“The old man just wants an apology. If he gets an apology from that man and woman, he might not commit suicide.”
“If an apology is useful, why do we need the law? There’s really no need to apologize anymore.”
“It’s hard to imagine how desperate the old mister was before he left…”
“Although their video ruined someone else’s life, would they be held accountable if they deleted the video?”
“Is there any justice left in this world?”
“It’s just a short video, yet it forced an old man to end his life.”
The millions of viewers in the live broadcast room were about to explode from anger.
They wanted to tear this couple apart.
“I want to sue them! When we get back, I’ll immediately hire a lawyer to sue this adulterous couple!”
[Life’s Winner] gritted his teeth.
“Dear patient,” Chen Yu said with a smile. “I have to remind you that if you wish to sue them, you need to know where the defendant lives first.”
“If you don’t know that they live in Baishan District, Room 503, Unit 1, Building
4, even if you go to the court, the court won’t be able to issue them a subpoena.”
The viewers, who had been suppressing their emotions, burst into laughter.
On the surface, Chen Yu reminded [Life’s Winner] how to find a lawyer to sue them.
But in fact, he was using another method to help.
He even told him their house number, and he was just short of their ID number.
“Oh, right.”
As if recalling something, Chen Yu said, “The two of them will go out during the day and wander the streets for free food. They’ll return home around 6 p.m.”
“When you go to court and sue them, don’t forget to tell the court staff to issue a summons to them after 6 p.m.”
“There’s no one at home before 6 p.m.”
[Life’s Winner] nodded desperately.
The viewers couldn’t stop laughing.
Although Chen Yu seemed to be talking to [Life’s Winner], he was actually talking to the local viewers to go over and uphold justice.
It was almost 7 p.m. now, so they must be at home.
[Life’s Winner] was just short of kneeling and thanking Chen Yu.
“I have medicine here that specializes in treating external injuries,” Chen Yu said calmly. “Your grandfather’s condition will improve after he takes it. Do you want to buy it?”
“The price is 100,000 yuan.”
“Yes, yes!”
[Life’s Winner] seemed to have seen hope.
“I’ll send you my WeChat number via private message. You don’t have to rush to pay, as long as you pay whenever you have money. I’ll arrange for someone to send the medicine to you later..”
