Chapter 368 Mom, I'm Sorry - How Much Is This

Zhou Leng had the initial capital from selling the small tripod, and invested the money into the stock market using Tao Yan's identity. With her current skills, she could obtain a lot of useful information, and this information would predict the trend of the stock. With the golden finger, she naturally made a lot of money.

Tao Yan once again dragged her tired body back home. If a confinement nanny encounters a baby who lacks a sense of security, one can imagine how hard it would be. Her arms and back were sore and stiff from holding the baby to sleep all night.

After Tao Yan opened the door, she saw her son sitting on the sofa. Now she was not as sensitive as other parents of the same age to her child playing with the computer or mobile phone. Her son's behavior after her divorce made her completely trust him. She forced a smile and said:

"Son, I'm too tired today. I'll go out with you tomorrow. When I save some more money, I'll have more time to spend with you."

Tao Yan felt very guilty. After her divorce, she did not take care of her son as well as before. She often regrets it now, not because she is tired of life, but because she feels sorry for her son who has to take on more housework and go to school alone. Although she has gained spiritual freedom and personal independence, she has sacrificed her young son's complete family and happy childhood.

Zhou Leng sat upright on the sofa with a computer in front of him. Tao Yan was an open-minded mother. After knowing that her son had a high talent for computers, she spent a huge amount of money to equip her son with a computer. Perhaps it was this unconditional support and selfless love that made Liu Zimo miss him as an adult, and made him give his soul to make his mother happy.

"Mom, come here."

Tao Yan sat in front of the computer. Even though she didn't understand, she knew that her son was watching the stock market.

“You watch the stock market?”

"Mom, didn't you see your bank card deposit information? On your way back, the money I made from stock trading has already been deposited into your account."

Tao Yan took out her phone and looked at the text message. Suddenly her eyes widened, and all her fatigue disappeared. She said with trembling mouth:

"Here, here...how many zeros are there? Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands! Millions! This is three million. Oh my God, this is three million! Son, this is what you earned from stock trading. Where did you get the money?"

"Mom, don't forget that you gave birth to a little genius. I inherited your excellent brains and genes."

"Mom doesn't have such a high IQ, and neither does your dad. You have a genetic mutation! In our two ordinary families, there hasn't been anyone this talented three generations ago."

Tao Yan turned her head to look at her son's eyes and eyebrows. The setting sun created a beautiful halo outside the window. Within the halo was her son's smiling face. She looked at him in shock and seriousness, looking at the familiar face and smiling eyes and eyebrows.

"Mom, you have to enjoy your life now. The stock market has gains and losses. Fortunately, I made some money. Don't worry, I will stop in the future. With this money, you don't have to work too hard. We can buy our own house. I will make more money in the future. Mom, just enjoy your life and be happy and happy."

Tao Yan looked at the balance displayed on her phone, and at her son's immature but determined face. Her ears seemed to still echo with what her son had just said. She had always wanted to be her son's support, and she never thought that her eleven-year-old son would work so hard to become her support. She smiled happily, and tears came out of her eyes.

Tao Yan wiped away the tears that fell on the screen of her mobile phone with her hand. She counted the zeros over and over again, then turned to look at her son. Seeing that his eyes were full of warmth when he looked at her, she began to cry again.

"Mom, don't cry first. Let me talk to you about whether I can stop studying."

"No, you have to get into a good university. Mom knows you have great abilities, but you are too young. There are many people with ill intentions in this society. What if you don't study and get corrupted? No matter how capable you are, you are still young after all."

Zhou Leng looked at the other party's serious and irrefutable expression, and he nodded in compromise. Then the mother and son spent an unforgettable hour in laughter and tears.

Tao Yan has never been so relaxed before. Before she got married, she was like a short-term tenant in the family. Everyone in the family had a common understanding that she would eventually get married and she did not belong to this family. After marriage, she was belittled by Liu Changli again. After the divorce, her son followed her, and she had to consider the child's future. Now that she has money in her hands, she finally feels much more relaxed and settled.

Tao Yan needs recognition, a job, and a life with a visible future. What she needs more is confidence, a stable home that belongs to her alone, a home where no one can drive her away if she wants to, and no one has the right to drive her away.

Tao Yan slowly calmed down and thought about the use of the money.

"Son, I'll deposit this money in the bank. The annual interest will be enough for you to study. I'll also work hard to save money for you. When you get married and have children in the future, I'll have accomplished my mission."

Zhou Leng laughed and shook her head. She said:

"Mom, let's buy a house and move to our own home. If Dad finds a new girlfriend, they will drive us away. We have our own home and no one can drive us away. It's our home. I can earn so much money now, and I will make more money in the future. Mom, you have to believe me."

"You're saying this because your dad has a new girlfriend? Did you see it?"

"I saw that Dad seemed to be on a blind date."

......

Tao Yan actually still wanted to save the money, but in the end she listened to her son, and the two of them took advantage of their Saturday break to go house hunting.

Tao Yan didn't want to spend the agency fee, so she took her son to several neighborhoods that she liked, and called the phone numbers for rent and sale posted on the windows. But every time the person who answered the phone was a real estate agent, she complained speechlessly:

"It's not like before. The real estate agents have a monopoly on the housing market. We ordinary people have to spend the money to get things done."

"Then let's just be the agent and take a look. After all, this will save us a lot of time."

Tao Yan said angrily:

"What time do you mean by saving? My time is the least valuable. You are still young and don't understand these things. The agent earns our agency fee. If we want a loan, they will help us find a bank under the pretext of helping us, but in fact they will earn referral fees from the bank. Although they make money from information asymmetry in this industry, it just makes me feel that they make money too easily. Mom doesn't want to find them. Let's look for it ourselves."

"Mom, what they are selling is service and information. Why don't you ask someone you know? We are in a hurry to buy a house anyway. Mom, look at that one, it seems to be selling a house too."

Tao Yan looked up and saw a sign saying "For Sale" and "Phone Number" on a window on the third floor.

"This is a western-style house, right? We don't need to buy a western-style house, we can just buy a high-rise building. Western-style houses are too expensive."

Zhou Leng advised:

"Mom, why don't you call and ask first? Whether it's a western-style house or a high-rise building, the key is whether you like it and we can move in with our bags."

Tao Yan made a call.
