A Lot of Money (2)
“You’re here, Little Ancestor.” Jiang Xing sighed, “Shall we go up and have a look?”
He didn’t dare to go alone!
“Then you are not allowed to scold Teacher later.”
“This has nothing to do with me, why would I scold her?”
“Then what did you scold her for earlier?”
“… My brain short circuited.” Jiang Xing was very self-conscious and firm as a boss; no one should eye his money pouch!
The two went to the inpatient ward together. Jiang Xiaoman still remembered the room number. As soon as they arrived, they saw Tao Tao inside.
She was still crying miserably, looking very desolate.
Mama Tao was already asleep. Even so, her face still looked haggard and exhausted, as if she really couldn’t hold on much longer.
Jiang Xing just took a glance, then looked away with a guilty conscience. Everything he had wanted to say was stuck in his throat, and nothing came out.
Tao Tao turned around and saw them. She cried and put her mother’s hand down, and walked out of the ward.
“Sorry Mr. Jiang–”
“Sorry Teacher Tao–”
The two talked at the same time and stopped at the same time.
Tao Tao smiled, “I was reckless earlier, I shouldn’t have done that. This has nothing to do with Xiaoman, please don’t scold her. The child doesn’t understand anything, but she has a good heart.”
“I’m not going to scold Xiao Man.” How would he dare to scold Xiao Man? Jiang Xing hesitated, “I’m here…I’m here to see your mother…”
“Okay, you’ve seen her. It’s inconvenient for her to see guests now.” Tao Tao said softly, “Mr. Jiang, please go back. I will be busy these two days. I will resign as a tutor. Xiaoman is smart and full of initiative; she doesn’t need me to be amazing. I’m not worthy to be her teacher.”
“That’s not what I meant……”
“Then what do you mean?”
“I’m… here to give you money.”
“…Is Mr. Jiang trying to humiliate me?” Tao Tao smiled miserably and said weakly, “No matter what your intent is, you’ve already seen it now. I cannot pay attention to anything else. Mr. Jiang, please go back, I will remember your help in my heart.”
Jiang Xiaoman quietly pulled Jiang Xing’s sleeve and stared at him silently.
Jiang Xing… Jiang Xing felt like crying!
How many years had it been since anyone talked to him like this? But Xiaoman was here!
This child… He had to set an example!
Jiang Xing coughed and said righteously, “Teacher Tao, there are some things that I can’t say in front of the child. If you’re still willing to give me face, let’s talk in private.”
Tao Tao also glanced at Jiang Xiaoman. She nodded and went downstairs with Jiang Xing.
Jiang Xing said, “Teacher Tao, I don’t care what you think of me. I am indeed here to give you money. To tell you the truth, I don’t care about the money at all. My niece wants to help you, and I can’t say no. Of course, I am also a good person, so I am willing to help you.”
“I… I still…”
“Don’t you want to help your mother?”
Tao Tao couldn’t say anything when Jiang Xing struck her weakness with a single sentence.
Jiang Xing was satisfied, and secretly put on the face of a capitalist with a little bit of conscience. “This way, it will be a good outcome for both of us. Just give me face and consider this matter settled?”

Tao Tao slowly said, “Mr. Jiang is willing to help me, I am already very grateful…”
For her to give him face? Wasn’t it the other way around?
But she still had some mixed feelings, and felt a little uncomfortable after all.
“But I don’t understand why Mr. Jiang wants to help me. Nobody wanted to help me when I was in trouble before.” Tao Tao took a deep breath, “I want to understand.”
How could he say that it was because he was afraid of his niece!?
Jiang Xing coughed again and calmly said, “Of course, there is no free lunch. If there is one, it must be a trap1. I understand your concerns, so let’s sign a contract.”
“…Contract?” Tao Tao’s face turned pale, and her face showed an expression as if she just came to an understanding “Oh, so it was like that”.
Tao Tao felt much better; she wasn’t accepting the kindness of others for nothing.
Jiang Xing glared at her as he continued pretending to be calm, saying, “What? You don’t agree? Let me tell you, if you want to negotiate terms with me, you must understand at least this much!”
“I agree.”
Jiang Xing breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand, “I will transfer you the money first, and my lawyer will contact you soon.”
Tao Tao cried and said, “Thank you.”
In any case, Tao Tao was sincerely grateful to him for saving her mother. Other bosses would definitely not care about her mother’s life or death.
Jiang Xing glanced at her, not knowing what to say. He did not know how to comfort people, especially women.
His mother and his niece, each one was more amazing than the other. If anyone among them needed comforting, it could only be him!
Jiang Xing hesitated for a while and said fiercely, “What thanks? What are you thankful for? From now on, you belong to the Jiang family, and I will work you to the bone to pay your debts!”
Tao Tao nodded, that was what she thought too.
After the two adults finished talking, they returned upstairs.
Jiang Xiaoman looked down from the stair’s vent, trying to eavesdrop, but it was too far to hear anything.
Seeing them come up, she immediately asked, “How was it, did you shake hands and make peace?”
“Yes.”
“Will Teacher’s mother be saved?”
“Yes.”
“Then how much money does Teacher really need?”
“Five hundred thousand.”
“Eh?”
“Five hundred thousand.”
“…Oh, that’s a lot of money.” Jiang Xiaoman sighed.

1. The original idiom I translated to ‘no free lunch’ is ‘pies don’t fall from the sky’. The word for ‘pies’ and ‘trap’ sounds similar in Chinese.
