The Middle-aged Man's Redemption

"Weng! Weng! Weng!"

"Oh? Is that Mom?"

Su Hao stopped drawing his knife and walked over to the backpack. He picked up his vibrating phone and looked at the caller ID.

"It's really Mom."

He immediately answered the call.

"Hello?! Su Hao!"

A fierce middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Su Hao was puzzled. Why did his mother sound so angry? Could it be that his father had been found out again?

"I didn't ask you much. Have you used up all your money?"

"Oh, oh, I didn't use it up. Also, you don't have to pay me anymore."

"Yeah? Why?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was obviously a little puzzled. The woman knew very well how capable her son was. Even if she didn't pay him, he wouldn't be able to pay the rent.

"My classmate introduced me to a part-time job. I've been working on it recently, and I've been paying my salary for the past two days."

Knowing that the woman would ask, Su Hao had already thought of an excuse.

"What kind of job?"

The woman on the other end of the phone sounded a little worried. This was a house in Shanghai. Even if it was rented outside, it wouldn't be cheap. Furthermore, her son was so stupid. Could he have been tricked into doing illegal work?

"The milk tea shop's intern manager. That shop was owned by my classmate. Recently, he was hiring an intern manager. He didn't have to do anything. He just looked at the shop and looked at the revenue. Most importantly, he had to be responsible. After that, he thought of me. Because I was close to him, he said that one shouldn't let one's own fertile water flow into others' fields. Hence, he asked for my opinion and arranged for me to enter."

"I see… that's good. And remember to thank this classmate of yours. He helped you. You need to appreciate that. Got it?"

After the woman heard Su Hao's words, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she started to instruct Su Hao to thank him. After all, she knew that her son was a straightforward person. If she didn't tell him, he probably wouldn't have thought of it.

"Mother, I don't need you to teach me that. When I received my salary, I had already invited her over to thank her."

"Wow, you've become smarter."

"Of course. Also, Mom, if there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. I'm preparing to go home."

"Alright, I'm hanging up. Take good care of yourself!"

"Got it, got it."

Looking at the flashing call ending on his phone screen, Su Hao felt a slight warmth in his heart. He had inherited the memories of the original owner, and the mother of this body naturally became his mother. He, who had never experienced the warmth of family in his previous life, cherished this very much.

"It's half past five. Time flies."

In front of the screen, Su Hao frowned slightly when he saw the time displayed on the screen. He felt that he clearly hadn't practiced for long, so why was it suddenly 5: 30?

"Forget it, let's call it a day and go home."

Putting his phone into his pocket, Su Hao picked up his Tang Saber and backpack, then slowly walked towards the demonic beast acquisition area outside the forest.

"Boss Wei Guang, how much can this be sold for?"

Su Hao looked at the pot-bellied middle-aged man in front of him. Then, he took out the Purple Pupil Bull's bull whip from his backpack. It was still stained with thick blood. As soon as he took it out, the surrounding people could smell the faint scent of blood.

When the pot-bellied middle-aged man saw the bloody bull whip, he did not feel disgusted. Instead, he stared at it intently, his eyes almost glowing.

"Young man, this is the Purple Pupil Barbaric Bull's bull whip, right?! This thick smell of blood, I can tell that you've just killed it today! Why don't you sell it to me, I'll pay double the price!"

A well-built middle-aged man walked over. Like Boss Wei Guang, he also bought Demonic Beasts.

"Hey! Chen Zhong, what do you mean! This young man came here first. Do you know the rules of first come, first served? Are you trying to steal my business?"

When Boss Wei Guang saw that someone had come to snatch his business, he instantly became anxious. He no longer cared about his image and directly cursed.

After all, this was the Purple Pupil Bull's bullwhip! Furthermore, it had just been slaughtered not too long ago! Not only could this thing be used as medicine, but it could also be used to boil soup and nourish one's body! This was practically a divine item for countless impotent middle-aged men!

"Brother, ignore him. I'll pay 100,000 yuan for your bullwhip. Do you think it's appropriate?"

Wei Guang turned around to look at Su Hao with a flattering smile on his face. Both of his hands were placed on his chest as they rubbed against each other.

Su Hao was delighted when he heard the price. He was about to nod his head in agreement when he suddenly thought of something and looked at Boss Chen Zhong.

Boss Chen Zhong didn't disappoint Su Hao. He looked at Boss Wei Guang with disdain, then snorted and said, "Humph! Boss Wei Guang, aren't you too stingy? You want to buy the Purple Pupil Barbaric Bull's bull whip with only 100,000 yuan? Are you trying to get rid of a beggar? Young man, I offer 150,000 yuan, sell it to me."

"Chen Zhong! You!"

Boss Wei Guang widened his eyes and pointed at Chen Zhong with his trembling left hand. The fat on his body kept shaking.

He had no choice but to be angry. 100,000 yuan was already double the normal purchase price, but Chen Zhong was even more ruthless and directly increased the price. Although he could not only earn back his capital after selling it, he could also make a huge profit. However, not only was his business being disrupted, but he had also doubled the price. Are you angry?

"What about you? Boss Wei Guang, both of us know the value of this bullwhip. As long as you offer the highest price, I won't fight with you."

Chen Zhong curled his lips and looked at Wei Guang disdainfully. For businessmen like them, bidding was a must. It was embarrassing to be so angry over such a small matter!

"Fine! Chen Zhong, you win. I will offer 200,000 yuan. This is the highest price I can offer! You can sell it to me."

Su Hao didn't immediately respond to him. Instead, he began to observe Chen Zhong. After discovering that Chen Zhong didn't continue bidding and walked back to his stall, Su Hao nodded his head.

After receiving Wei Guang's transfer, Su Hao once again sold the other items in his backpack to him. However, the remaining items didn't have much value. Even if they were sold out, they would only be worth 100,000 yuan.

...

After selling the Demonic Beasts, Su Hao returned home and took a shower. He then turned on his phone and found a person who was listed as the landlord. He then sent a message.

"Sister Clear Snow, this is the rent for this month and next month. Please accept it."

[Transfer: 8000]

Right after Su Hao sent the message, the landlord immediately replied with a voice message.

"Oh my, is he rich? Not only is there no delay, he even paid the rent in advance?"

When Su Hao saw this, he smiled. His landlord's name was Xia Qingxue. When he was poor, she helped him a lot. Every time he couldn't pay the rent, she would always say indifferently, 'If you have money, you can just give it to me.'

Although she was of the same age as him, in his heart, Xia Qingxue was like a reliable big sister. Hence, he called her Big Sister Qingxue.

The most impressive thing was that the apartment that Su Hao was living in now, including the surrounding apartments, was all her house! Not only that!

Not only was she a rich woman, but she was also extremely beautiful, had a great figure, and excellent grades! It was said that she had already been accepted into a first-rate cultivation university in Shanghai!

"Hahaha. Recently, I was introduced to work as a part-time employee and earned some money."

Ding dong!

Not long after Su Hao sent the message, Xia Qingxue sent another voice message.

"Tsk, you went to the part-time job that your classmate recommended to you. Why haven't you been to the one I introduced to you?"

When Su Hao heard this, he instantly felt as if his head was about to explode. He remembered that in the past, because he didn't have any money, Xia Qingxue would constantly push some part-time jobs to him. However, Su Hao understood that those were all part-time jobs for Xia Qingxue's family.

At that time, he, who was young and impetuous, refused to accept help from others. Helpless, Xia Qingxue could only find many excuses to reduce his rent and delay the time he needed to pay rent. Su Hao remembered all these in his heart.

"Hahahahaha!"

Su Hao could only laugh out loud to express his embarrassment.

Ding dong!

"Alright, I was just teasing you. Look at you. All you have to do now is earn some money to support yourself."

There was a hint of laughter in Xia Qingxue's voice. It was obvious that she was just teasing Su Hao.

"Alright, then Sister Qingxue, let's not talk anymore. I'll go cook."

"Go on."

...

A beautiful young girl lay quietly on the bed. The huge thing in front of her chest had changed slightly due to the pressure. After she sent the last message on her phone, she quietly looked at their chat records in a daze.

A moment later, the girl was a little angry as she closed the phone screen. She pouted her little mouth and scolded, "Dummy!"

Then she turned over and stared blankly at the ceiling, starting to recall everything that had happened six years ago.

That was when her parents brought her out to travel!

In a bamboo garden in a tourist attraction, a little girl was squatting in a corner and crying softly.

Due to her mischievous behavior, she was separated from her family. She did not know where she was and there was no one around her.

"Daddy, mommy! Where are you guys? Qingqing is so scared!"

Xia Qingxue wiped her tears with her small hands. She was still young and didn't know what to do after she separated from her parents.

Just when she was at her most helpless, a young male voice entered her ears.

"Hello, do you need help?"

Xia Qingxue raised her head. Her young and cute face was filled with tears and snot.

"Yeah… wow… yeah."

As she cried, she nodded. This scene made the little boy smile innocently.

"Are you separated from your parents?"

The little boy asked.

Xia Qingxue nodded again.

"Do you want me to bring you out?"

The little boy looked at Xia Qingxue and blinked his big black eyes.

"Yes, yes."

After receiving Xia Qingxue's reply, the little boy smiled and stretched out his small hand, not minding the snot on Xia Qingxue's hand at all.

Xia Qingxue looked at the smile on the boy's face and reached out her hand in a daze.

After Xia Qingxue tightened her grip, the boy gently pulled her up and said, "Let's go."

The little boy held Xia Qingxue's hand, who was still crying, and the two of them slowly walked out of the bamboo garden. Afterward, they came to the place where they had lost her.

"Qingqing, where did you run off to? I'm so worried!"

Not long after, a beautiful woman rushed over and hugged Xia Qingxue tightly.

"Mommy! Boohoo! Sorry, I won't run around anymore. Boohoo!"

Xia Qingxue burst into tears once again when she saw her mother.

"Alright, alright. It's good that you're fine. It's good that you're fine. Don't cry anymore."

A young man came to their side and comforted his wife and daughter.

"You're still talking! It's all your fault! Why did you come out for a vacation? Qingqing almost lost her. I was almost scared to death!"

The woman glared at the man with red eyes. When the man saw his wife blaming him, he could only smile bitterly and did not dare to say anything.

When the little boy saw that Xia Qingxue's parents had arrived, his cute little face revealed a smile. Then, he gently waved at Xia Qingxue, who was still in his mother's embrace. He didn't care if she saw him or not. He simply said his farewells and left.

After that, Xia Qingxue's parents heard about this matter from Xia Qingxue. They wanted to thank the little boy, but he had already left. After asking the staff, they only managed to find out the little boy's name, Su Hao.
