Chapter 904: Ruler of Esports 18

After that, Tang Wan stepped forward and took Mother Tang’s arm, her tone softening. “Mom, the captain has already transferred me a year’s salary. You don’t have to work so hard anymore, okay? What if your health gives out?”

Mother Tang froze. “So fast?” she asked in disbelief.

That was six hundred thousand yuan.

Was he really not afraid they would just take the money and disappear?

Tang Wan nodded. “I told him I needed money urgently, so he agreed. Mom, let’s go to the hospital tomorrow for a full check-up. You’ve been overworking for years—I’m really worried about your health.”

“What’s there to check? I’m perfectly fine! Don’t waste money like that,” Mother Tang refused instinctively.

Hospitals were expensive.

But Tang Wan had already expected this reaction. She knew very well that if they didn’t catch it early, the illness would only surface years later—when it would be too late.

So she persisted, patiently persuading her again and again.

In the end, Mother Tang had no choice but to agree. Still, her heart felt warm.

Her daughter had grown up. The first money she earned was being used to take care of her—none of those years of hardship had been in vain.

…

The next day, Tang Wan took Mother Tang to the best hospital in the city for a full examination.

Seeing the scale of the hospital, Mother Tang couldn’t help but feel distressed again. How much would this cost?

But since they were already there—and Tang Wan insisted that larger hospitals offered more comprehensive checks—she could only go along with it.

They went through the tests one by one.

What Mother Tang didn’t expect was that the results revealed multiple issues. Years of physical labor had already caused serious strain—especially her spine, which showed clear signs of deformation from long-term overwork.

“Mom, you can’t keep doing heavy labor anymore,” Tang Wan said firmly at the right moment. “I can support us now. You have to take care of your body.”

Mother Tang nodded, her expression subdued. “I understand.”

After returning home, she finally quit two of her physically demanding jobs.

…

Three days later, the full report came out.

When she saw it, Mother Tang broke out in a cold sweat.

There were already problems with her kidneys and liver.

Fortunately, the doctor said the issue had been discovered early. If it had been delayed by another two years, her condition would have worsened significantly.

Tang Wan wasn’t surprised.

But she felt relieved.

At least now, with proper rest and care, recovery was still possible.

Without hesitation, she handed the remaining five hundred thousand yuan to her mother. “Mom, you heard the doctor. Our family isn’t short on money anymore, and I can support you. For the next six months, don’t work at all—just focus on recovering.”

“But… I can’t just sit at home and spend your money,” Mother Tang said quickly.

“Mom,” Tang Wan said seriously, her tone firm, “besides my salary, I’m also livestreaming. I can earn tens of thousands a month already. If things go well, even hundreds of thousands isn’t impossible. What matters most right now is your health.”

She paused, then added quietly, “If you don’t recover, what’s the point of me earning money?”

Hearing this, Mother Tang finally nodded.

Ever since she saw the medical report, she had already been shaken.

…

Only then did Tang Wan feel at ease.

After dinner, she stood up. “Mom, go to bed early. I’ll go back to my room and stream.”

“Alright,” Mother Tang replied.

After Tang Wan returned to her room, Mother Tang sat alone in the living room, staring blankly at the bank card on the coffee table.

Her eyes gradually turned red.

Thankfully…

She had raised a good daughter.
