Wealth is a shell.
This shell can shield people from indifference, disease, disaster, misunderstanding, and loneliness.
Han Shixian once watched a movie where a straight-A student daughter fell for a super-rich second-generation guy.
The plot was simple: the rich guy finally won the approval of the girl's father, leading to a happy life with the studious girl.
This rich guy had many flaws, yet because of his extreme wealth, everyone in the comment section could discuss his flaws amiably...
And empathize with this wealthy individual.
So, being rich can be understood.
Poor people's wickedness is innate wickedness. Not many care about its origin.
Money can ward off disease, for this world has but one ailment: poverty.
Naturally, money can also ward off disaster; after all, "spending money to avoid disaster" is an universally recognized phrase.
But Han Shixian had no money.
Not only did he lack money, he was cursed by poverty.
