Rebirth of the King of Waves

Chapter 115 A Responsible Man
Around 6 o'clock, they arrived in Jinling city. Ning Bishu, having been there a couple of times before, told Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to find a hotel on their own. Then, he went to the vegetable market near Xiao Taotao's house by himself and bought a bunch of fresh seafood and braised dishes. His hands were full of things, and he arrived at his mother-in-law's house in no time.

Unable to knock on the door, he lightly kicked it twice and shamelessly shouted, "Mom!" Just then, a neighbor came down from upstairs. The hallway was dark, and the neighbor, using the dim light of his phone, glanced at Ning Bishu from behind.

Ning Bishu was about to turn his head to look when Xiao's mother suddenly opened the door. Seeing Ning Bishu standing outside, she exclaimed with delight, "Bishu, come in, come in! Why didn't you call me before you came..."

"I called Tao Tao," Ning Bishu said with a smile as he walked in.

The neighbor outside looked puzzled. He had been paying close attention to the mother and daughter renting the place; the husband seemed to be away from home most of the time, and he had no idea they had such a... aged-looking son?

Before he could even glance at Ning Bishu again, Xiao's mother had already closed the door. She quickly helped Ning Bishu take his things, and said politely as usual, "Why did you buy so much stuff? Tao Tao and I can't possibly eat it all."

"Taotao is still growing. Studying is so hard, so he needs to get proper nutrition."

Ning Bishu turned his head and saw that there was only a bowl of noodles on the dining table in the small kitchen by the entrance, without any side dishes. He scratched his head and said, "Mom, is there not enough money at home? Why didn't you tell me?"

"No! No! It's enough!" Mrs. Xiao hurriedly explained, "The money you gave me the week before last is still enough, I have plenty left. I'm used to eating like this, Tao Tao eats two meals a day at school, it's too much trouble for me to cook for myself."

“You can’t be so casual about it.” Ning Bishu smiled, looked down at his phone, and transferred another 2 yuan to Xiao’s mother.

Hearing the sound, Xiao's mother picked up her phone and looked at it. She was both happy and a little embarrassed, and quickly said, "Why are you sending me money again...?"

"Of course," Ning Bishu said. "Mom, from now on, I'll send you 20,000 yuan every month. That should be enough for you and Taotao to eat and drink normally each month."

"Too much, too much! It shouldn't cost that much in a month!" Mrs. Xiao said hurriedly.

“I know, I know it won’t cost that much.” Ning Bishu sat down and said slowly, “Mom, to be honest with you, my family is actually a mess too. My mom is probably even stingier than you when it comes to spending money… Please sit down and talk.”

Xiao's mother, who was taking the seafood that Ning Bishu had just bought out of the bag, also put down what she was doing when she heard this.

She obediently sat down next to Ning Bishu.

Listening to Ning Bishu, I looked back on my past life.

“My family isn’t like what I portray on TV. The people I mentioned on TV are indeed my relatives, but everyone lives their own life. I only turned my life around this year because I found the right opportunity and my luck changed.”

So I know very well how ordinary people live. But it's precisely because I know what kind of life we ​​lived before that I can't afford to suffer anymore. Tao Tao is with me, so she's part of my family. You are Tao Tao's mother, and you are also my mother. I can't just enjoy a life of luxury outside while you at home scrimp and save.

“I know, at Mom’s house…” Xiao’s mother introduced herself naturally, but paused as soon as she spoke.

The two exchanged a glance and burst into laughter simultaneously.

Ning Bishu nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, that's it, very good."

With a wry smile, Xiao's mother continued, "Actually, my family used to be quite well-off. My husband and I, combined, earned over ten thousand, almost twenty thousand a month. When Tao Tao was still in elementary school, we took her to have her photo album taken every year. Back then, Tao Tao really lived like a little princess. But then, there was the housing issue, you know..."

Ning Bishu suddenly said, "We're still short 400,000, right?"

Mrs. Xiao nodded.

Ning Bishu said, "Let's go to the bank to pay it back tomorrow."

“It’s not a debt to the bank,” Xiao’s mother explained. “It’s a debt to relatives. We borrowed some money for the down payment, but the building project was abandoned, so we couldn’t get the house and still had to pay the loan. Then Tao Tao’s father went to the developer and got fired. My income alone wasn’t enough to support the family, so we borrowed some more money.”

“Okay, okay, it’s alright.” Ning Bishu basically understood and said casually, “I’ll transfer another 500,000 to you. Let’s not owe our relatives any favors. The extra 100,000 can be paid back to them with interest.” Before Xiao’s mother could refuse, Ning Bishu had already opened the app and said to Xiao’s mother, “Mom, give me your bank account number.”

Mrs. Xiao was stunned for a moment, and this time she finally dared not say a single word of dissent.

He quickly stood up, ran to the inner room, took out his bank card, and handed it to Ning Bishu.

Ning Bishu held the bank card and slowly entered the card numbers one by one.

A few minutes later, with a tap of her finger, 50 yuan was transferred to Xiao's mother's card.

Xiao's mother's phone also received a text message.

She quickly picked it up and looked at it. Seeing the extra 500000.00 yuan on the card, she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

“Bi Shu…” Xiao’s mother’s eyes reddened.

Ning Bishu patted her hand and said gently, "It's alright, it's nothing."

Xiao's mother nodded. Ning Bishu casually said, "Let's blanch those crabs and mantis shrimp."

"Okay, okay, wait a minute!"

Xiao's mother quickly found an apron, tied it on, and started cooking for Ning Bishu.

Ning Bishu stood up and walked straight towards Xiao Taotao's room.

He had come in a hurry last time and didn't have time to look at Tao Tao's room carefully.

Only when I strolled in did I realize how small Xiao Taotao's room was.

The 1.5-meter-wide bed was placed right next to the door.

It looks like even two people sleeping there would feel cramped.

The desk and wardrobe could barely fit, and the few pieces of furniture took up all four walls. A chair was placed in front of the desk, blocking most of the room. When someone came in, there was almost no room to put their feet down.

No wonder this girl has such low self-esteem; when she sees a rich man, she'll foolishly run off with him if he gives her a little something sweet.

This is because I had a few good days when I was a child, but when I grew up a little, I was poor in all sorts of ways.

Having grasped at this lifeline, they dared not let go...

"Mom, let's move to a different place," Ning Bishu said. "I'll go out and look around tomorrow, and maybe I can buy you a new house."

"No need, no need, no need!" Xiao's mother quickly ran over and said hurriedly, "Taotao will graduate soon, if you want to buy... just buy it in your own area, as a wedding house..."

She became less and less confident as she spoke.

Ning Bishu thought it made sense and said with a smile, "Okay, then let's rent another place first. There are still about a hundred days left. It'll be better for Taotao to live in a better environment, which will be more comfortable for her and you, and it will also be better for her studies."

This time, Mrs. Xiao didn't refuse, but her face was full of guilt and affection: "You've already spent so much money since you came here..."

"We're family, so let's not talk about these things."

Ning Bishu said casually, but in his heart he was thinking that when he got home in a few days, he would have to hurry up and buy a new house for his family.

I don't know what Bi Guifen's current situation is.

Then I looked down and found my mom's number, finally removing her from the blacklist.

He turned around, walked to the window, and called her.

"mom……"

The moment he opened his mouth, Bi Guifen on the other end of the phone shrieked, "A-Shu! Oh my! You finally called Mom! They said you made hundreds of millions outside! Are you kidding me?!"

Ning Bishu smiled. "I've spent more than a few hundred million these past few days. I'll bring my wife back to meet you in a while; she has exams coming up, she's a senior in high school and has the college entrance exam! Alright, alright, you can sleep soundly tonight. I'll be home in a couple of days. This time, definitely!"

After hanging up, I called my grandma again.

"Grandma, did Ah Bao return your things to you?"

"Haha, good, you're pretty quick."

"I'll bring my wife back to see you in a while. Yeah, get a good night's sleep and don't think too much. I have over a hundred million in cash right now. Hey, why would I brag to you? Don't you trust your grandson's character? He's never lied to anyone in his life!"

Xiao's mother stood at the door of the room, listening to Ning Bishu reassure the family that he was safe.

As I looked at him, I realized that the figure from behind definitely resembled her son-in-law.

Tao Tao deserves to marry someone so responsible and capable...

Upright and honest, respecting the elderly and caring for the young, being honest and trustworthy, and finding joy in helping others...

A rich man!
