Rebirth of the King of Waves

Chapter 1: No Conscience

"Ah Shu, did he tell you that so-and-so is getting married?"

"No ah."

Ning Bishu had a grin on his face when facing his grandmother's question.

He knew very well what his grandmother had said.

There is a close relative in my family who is going to marry off his daughter during the Chinese New Year.

The wedding invitation was personally delivered to the home of Ning Bishu's third uncle, but Ning Bishu's family, that is, the family of Ning Bishu's father, who was born of the same mother as his third uncle, chose to ignore it.

The reason is very simple. Ning Bishu's father has been unemployed since he lost his job in the shared bicycle business - he used to be a bicycle repairman on the roadside.

For a long time, Ning Bishu's family lived on the little money his mother earned as a nanny.

Later, Ning Bishu had a lonely time studying in college. His mother finally supported him to go out, but he couldn't find a decent job after graduation.

After failing the civil service exam seven or eight times, including five times failing at the interview stage, Ning Bishu realized some paths weren't meant for him. So he went back to his job, bouncing between several small companies.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Ning Bishu is now 33 years old and sees no hope in life.

To make matters worse, his father had been struck by a stroke two years prior, leaving him bedridden and completely unable to care for himself. Ning Bishu's mother was so busy taking care of his diapers every day that in just two years, her once black hair had turned completely white. He looked less than sixty, but he looked older than seventy.

So the relative didn't even send an invitation to Ning Bishu's family, using the excuse that his family couldn't leave.

To put it bluntly, I just don't want to see Ning Bishu's family looking so shabby and pitiful at my daughter's wedding banquet.

How embarrassing in front of men...

"Then if she didn't invite you, don't go. And when you get married, don't invite him either. Don't be angry..."

"Grandma, it's okay, it's just a small matter."

Ning Bishu grinned slightly, but faced with this level of insult, his eyes were full of indifference.

But my grandmother was skeptical and repeated, "Don't be angry. Don't get angry at yourself."

"Grandma, no, really not." Ning Bishu continued to smile.

If a reborn person can't even let go of such a small matter, then what's the point of being reborn?

Although he was only reborn a month ago...

but!

Who says a month of rebirth doesn’t count as rebirth?

As soon as he was reborn from the rental house at 10:12 this morning, he immediately ran to his grandmother.

What for?
Of course it’s for my grandmother’s life!
Oh, no...

It's grandma's money!
If this was a dream, he would not want to refuse the money.

And if this wasn't a dream...

what!
So what are you waiting for!!
"Grandma, I have something to talk to you about..."

"What is it?"

Ning Bishu said straight to the point: "I want to borrow some money from you."

"Borrow money? How much?"

"how much do you have?"

"Ah?" Grandmother was stunned when she heard that, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Ning Bishu was strange.

This kid, is he heading for my coffin?
"You, you...what trouble did you get into outside?" Grandma's face was suddenly filled with worry.

Ning Bishu also immediately said nonsense: "Grandma, I have a girlfriend. She said that as long as I give her some betrothal gifts, she will marry me immediately. You know my family..."

"Really?" Grandma's face lit up instantly and she interrupted, "How much does she want?"

“Uh…” Ning Bishu bared his teeth, “Sixty-eight…” “Sixty-eight?”

"Ten thousand……"

"Why doesn't she grab it! She has diamonds on her bottom!" The grandmother screamed loudly. She was eighty years old, but full of energy, and her roar was even louder than Ning Bishu's mother.

Ning Bishu quickly said, "Grandma, you don't need to take so much! I've saved some money myself!"

"Oh..." Grandma calmed down a little, "How much did you save?"

"Eighty thousand."

"..."

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the tiny room became awkward for a moment.

After a long time, the grandmother sighed and said, "Bring that girl here so I can take a look."

Ning Bishu frowned slightly and said, "She said she won't meet me unless I pay her."

"How can I do that? What if I give it to her and then regret it?"

"Grandma! No! We can sign the contract first. If she goes back on her word, we can let the court sentence her and put her in jail!" Ning Bishu said firmly. He was determined to cheat the money today!

My grandmother's eyes widened as she listened. She couldn't help but sigh, "Is this how marriage is these days? Are you planning on going to jail?"

"Grandma, this is how society is now..."

Ning Bishu said earnestly, "How about this, you lend me 300,000 first, and I'll consider it a deposit..."

"Three hundred thousand? Three hundred thousand is a deposit? Three hundred thousand is enough to buy my life!" Grandma muttered anxiously for a long time, then asked quietly, "I'll give you two hundred thousand. You can borrow the remaining one hundred thousand from your third uncle. Is that okay?"

"No! Don't tell my third uncle!" Ning Bishu hurriedly stopped him.

But my grandmother frowned and said, "How can you not tell him about such a big thing?"

"Let's get this done first!" Ning Bishu said, "If it doesn't work out, I'll take the money back and we'll just pretend it never happened, and I'll save him from being so rude to me.

You know, my third uncle spreads rumors all the time, saying I'm living off my parents' money. My parents don't have any money for me to live off! How much of the money I've earned in the past few years has actually gone to me? He even told people that my whole family lives off your pension. That's not true. If he finds out, won't he be talking about me for the rest of my life?

Ning Bishu got really angry as he spoke.

Grandma also hurried to comfort him, "No! No! I won't tell him! Your third uncle...your third uncle, I'll tell him next time! It's not right to say that to your own nephew!"

"Forget it." Ning Bishu skipped these boring things and continued to dig into the key points. "Grandma, just lend me whatever you have first. I promise that within a month, if things don't work out, I will sell my blood, my kidney, or even my life to pay you back!"

"Nonsense! It's New Year's Day, bah bah bah!" Grandma kept cursing.

After he finished spitting, he asked Ning Bishu anxiously and reluctantly, "You didn't lie to me, did you?"

Ning Bishu said sternly, "I'll lie to you to death... I'll get hit by a car when I go out tomorrow!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Grandmother hit Ning Bishu and finally said, "Then I...then I'll lend it to you first, but I don't have that much money. Wait for me, I'll go out and get it for you now."

"Ah? Go out and do it now? How are you going to do it?" Ning Bishu was a little confused.

But the grandmother just said, "Don't worry about it, I have a way."

As he said that, he walked into the inner room, rummaged around for a long time, and found a room.

Ning Bishu suddenly understood when he saw this.

He sat quietly, watching his grandmother take the property deed and walk out the door, not even walking very steadily.

But Ning Bishu had no intention of stopping it.

This is how society is.

If you want to get rich, you must not be too soft-hearted.

You can't have a conscience either.
