Boss, He’s Becoming a Father Chapter 2.1: The Prodigal Son (3)
“Your sister is not getting married.”
Hearing this, Shao Dabao immediately became anxious. He pulled Shao Yu’s sleeve and asked, “Dad, dad, what do you mean when you say that my sister is not getting married?”
Shao Yu glanced at him and said, “What do you think?”
Shao Dabao jumped up immediately and said, “Dad, this is no joke. If my sister doesn’t get married, our shop will be gone!”
“The shop is gone? No, the shop is still there without you.” Shao Yu shook his head
After hearing this, Shao Dabao instinctively had a bad premonition and immediately said: “With neither daughter nor shop, how can Uncle Zhang let it go? Dad, now is not the time to be confused.”
Shao Yu laughed and said, “Don’t panic, I have a solution.”
“What can you do?” Shao Dabao cried sadly, and when he thought of Uncle Zhang’s fierce look threatening to cut off his hand, his legs suddenly became weak again.
Shao Yu then said lightly what Shao Dabao was most afraid of: “Don’t he want your hands? It’s useless for you to hold them anyway, why not give them to those who need them.”
Who God really needs, everyone knows that this is just a threat, but Shao Yu seems to believe it is true, Shao Dabao’s face is full of disbelief, grabbing Shao Yu’s clothes Sleeves, said eagerly: “Father, father, my good father, this is not a joke.”
Shao Yu looked at him coldly and asked, “Is your sister’s marriage just a joke?”
“No… I’m doing this for my sister’s benefit. The Zhang family has thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of servants. He also owns three gambling houses. If my sister marries a rich family like this, it will be a blessing!” Shao Dabao was eagerly defended.
Shao Yu stared at this cheap son and said, “A family whose two wives died in three years is indeed a blessed place.”
Shao Dabao’s face turned pale and he immediately said, “Dad, whose rumor have you heard?”
“Is this a lie?” Shao Yu asked.
Shao Dabao had never thought that his biological father would be so aggressive. He didn’t look as cowardly as before, which only made him feel more and more afraid to look directly at him.
“Why didn’t you speak?” Shao Yu asked, glancing at Mrs. Wang on the side.
No matter how much Mrs. Wang loves her son, she will not completely treat her daughter as an animal. She immediately asked from the side: “You kid, please speak quickly. Is what your father said true?”
Shao Dabao rolled his eyes, and immediately as if he had found an excuse, he started talking nonsense: “The Zhang family is just unlucky. His first wife was sick and died, and his second wife had a difficult delivery. If my sister married him, he will definitely cherish her…”
“If you are unlucky, you are killing your wife.” Shao Yu said.
“Yes, yes, at most he is subduing his wife, not deliberately trying to kill her.” Shao Dabao said hurriedly.
But what he got in return was Shao Yu’s gaze as if he were looking at a dead person.
On the other hand, Mrs. Wang on the side, after hearing this, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shao Yu: “It’s okay, it’s okay. The head of the house, he is just trying to restrain his wife, he should still be a good person…”
“Is it okay to restrain his wife? Besides, did he really restrained his wife, or did he kill her intentionally?” Shao Yu said.
To restrain one’s wife is to kill one’s wife passively, while to kill one’s wife is to kill one’s wife actively. The two natures are very different.
“No…the uncle of the Zhang family really didn’t kill his wife…” Shao Dabao defended weakly, but thinking of the ferocious look on the face of the uncle of the Zhang family, Shao Dabao felt uncertain.
Shao Yu glanced at him, and Shao Dabao immediately shrank his neck with guilt.
“After the death of his first wife, her brother came to ask for an explanation, but his legs were broken by servants of the Zhang family. After the death of his second wife, her father came to settle accounts, and was beaten and vomited blood by his servants.”
“This…” Shao Dabao didn’t expect that such a thing would be known by his father, and he immediately said: “Uncle Zhang family has no choice. They are all came to the door, so he have to fight back.”
Shao Yu sneered and said, “What do you want from us when your sister gets married? Do you want us, the old couple, to pay for this together?”
“Both of these two families have lost all their wealth and ruined their families because of this marriage. Do you want to be like them?”
The Shao family was ruined and all their wealth was gone. This was the original ending.
Naturally, Shao Dabao didn’t want to be in the same situation as the first two in-laws, but now he had no choice but to cry sadly and said: “Dad, dad, but now that my sister doesn’t marry, my hand will be gone…”
“Do you admit that you found a wolf den for your sister?” Shao Yu asked.
Shao Xiaocao on the side also cheered up at this time and stared at his brother with burning eyes.
Shao Dabao really didn’t want to answer this question.
His eyes evaded, trying to fool him.
“Look directly at me, little bastard.” Shao Yu said coldly.
Shao Dabao froze. He had nowhere to hide under his father’s eyes. In the end, he could only explain: “I…I have no choice…”
Shao Xiaocao’s eyes were full of disappointment, but Mrs. Wang on the side was weakly defending his son: “Xiaocao, your brother… there is nothing your brother can do.”
But these words couldn’t get her daughter’s response.
“He has a way.” Shao Yu said suddenly.
The cheap son looked in a daze.
Shao Yu continued: “You don’t have to gamble, you can study hard. If you succeed in studying, you will shine on your family. If there is no hope in studying, you can retreat home and keep the shop. This way, your sister will still have a someone to rely on when she gets married.”
For Shao Dabao at this time, shining on his family name and retreating to his family business are two options that are so far away.
When he went bankrupt gambling, he was filled with regrets, but soon because of the choices provided by the Zhang family, he forgot about the pain and regret, and only wanted to marry his sister quickly, and then return to the gambling house again.
Even at this time, Shao Dabao was thinking that waiting for his sister to get married would only make it easier for him to go out and gamble.
The worry about his sister may have existed, but in the end it was no match for his eagerness to make things right.
Shao Yu could understand Shao Dabao’s thoughts with just one glance. For such a deeply trapped gambler, it would be impossible to wake him up without a heavy hammer.
“You didn’t choose any of the right paths, and you pushed yourself to this point.” Shao Yu patted his son on the forehead, and then said: “Of course you have to taste the bitter consequences of the sins you have made.”
Shao Dabao’s heart sank and his eyes were full of fear, but he still endured the discomfort and asked: “Dad, dad… I don’t understand what you mean by taste the bitter fruit yourself…”
“You are the one who lost the bet. If we kick you out, he will naturally not come to us.” Shao Yu said indifferently.
“Dad, Dad, I am your only son. You can’t ignore me. The Zhang family really knows how to kill people…” Shao Dabao saw the determination in his father’s eyes and naturally knew that his father could really do it.
