My boss gave me two hundred thousand yuan in cash to pay the workers’ wages. I only stepped out to buy some envelopes, but in that short time, my father lent the money to our neighbor to buy a house. I confronted him, but he said I didn’t understand how to get along with people. Even my mother and older brother blamed me for not putting the money away properly. They knew my dad loved lending money, they said, so why had I left it somewhere visible?
Later, my boss fired me but didn’t call the police. He only told me to pay him back. To help me repay the money, my father found me a high-paying job. When I got there, I learned it was as a live-in caregiver for an old man. That very day, he groped me. I wanted to call the police, but my father told me to be understanding because the man was elderly.
In the end, the old man’s daughter thought I had seduced her father and hired someone to beat me to death. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my father lent our neighbor the money.
