Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 2.2: The Prodigal Son (4)
He had never discovered that his father, who had been obedient to him for so many years, could actually have such a cruel side.
Shao Dabao immediately looked at his mother beside him and said eagerly: “Mom, dad doesn’t care about me. You can’t ignore me. I’m your only son…”
Mrs. Wang was the person in the room who was most devoted to Shao Dabao. She immediately said to Shao Yu: “Head of the family, the child is still young and he did something wrong. Please forgive him this time.”
“His sister is younger.” Shao Yu said.
As if he had thought of the joint, Shao Dabao immediately turned to Shao Xiaocao and begged: “Sister, please forgive your brother this time, just this time…”
Looking at Shao Xiaocao, her expression seemed a little gentle, and Shao Yu said: “One time is enough to kill you.”
Shao Xiaocao’s eyes immediately became hesitant.
Seeing her husband’s resolute attitude and seeing her son’s pitiful face, Mrs. Wang finally couldn’t bear it and said, “Head of the family, no matter how bad our son is, we still have to rely on him to support us in old age.”
“Yes, yes, dad, I still want to provide for you two in old age.”
Shao Yu heard this and said thoughtfully, “Your mother and I are getting older and we really need someone to support us in our old age.”
When Shao Dabao heard this, hope immediately rose in his heart. He looked at Shao Yu expectantly and said, “Dad, I will let you and mother spend your remaining years in peace. Believe in me…”
“I don’t believe it.” Shao Yu answered simply.
Shao Dabao:…
Shao Dabao hurriedly turned to look at his mother Wang, knowing that his mother had always been a soft-spoken person, so he said pitifully: “Mom, I also want to pass the imperial examination to win the first prize, let you be the royal wife, and let hold your grandson…”
When Wang heard this description, her heart immediately softened. After all, this was her biological son whom she had loved for twenty years.
Shao Yu on the side just took one look and realized that his cheap wife couldn’t handle it anymore, so he said directly: “Do you believe this?”
Mrs. Wang:…
Shao Yu said again: “He has completely wiped out his family fortune. Do you still believe that he can get the top prize?”
“Dad, I will definitely work hard….”
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted again by Shao Yu, who simply said: “After studying for more than ten years, you can’t even pass the entrance examination. It shows that your brain is not good, and it is useless even if you work hard.”
Shao Dabao suffered another myocardial infarction and said: “I just didn’t study seriously before…”
Shao Yu said without thinking: “You don’t even know how to seize the opportunity to study. It shows that you are still not smart.”
Shao Dabao felt as if he had been slapped when he heard this. Although he was a jerk, he thought he was smart and always thought that as long as he studied hard, everything in the world would be within his reach.
Now that his father was so casually reprimanding him, and looking at the bare-walled house, how could he still not understand that he had long since lost the chance to study hard.
But Shao Yu didn’t let him go, and asked Mrs. Wang: “Before Dabao was born, what did our family eat at then? What do our family eat now?”
Wang was stunned after hearing this, and her thoughts went back to more than 20 years ago, when she had just married into the Shao family. Although the Shao family did not have a rich family, they maintained a lantern shop and the family had no worries about food and clothing, and occasionally they could get extra meals. Have a meal of meat.
Since Shao Dabao started studying, the family has been frugal and eating meat, which seems to have become a distant memory.
Shao Yu concluded: “We have not enjoyed any of his blessings, but he has caused us to suffer a lot. We are dazzled and burdened, and now he almost killed our daughter. What is the use of having such a son. ”
A dull bell sounded in Wang’s ears, and she immediately realized that the truth was exactly as Shao Yu said. Giving birth to this son would not be a blessing, but would bring endless hardships.
All the problems with her body that she had always ignored were suddenly revealed.
Her head, back, waist, knees, all the wrong places on her body were screaming pain at her, and the source of these pains was all because of Shao Dabao.
In order to raise money for this good son, she worked day and night and became sick from exhaustion.
But even if there are all these reasons, the love for Shao Dabao over the years has already penetrated deep into Wang’s bones.
She knew clearly that this son was not promising, had many tricks, and could not be counted on at all, but Wang still couldn’t control herself.
The habits she had developed over the years and the subtle influence of the surrounding environment made her unable to leave her son alone.
“Head of the family, forget it, we only have this one son…” Mrs. Wang cried, crying not only for her daughter’s misfortune in the future, but also for her miserable old age.
“Yes, dad, I am your only son…” Shao Dabao said hurriedly, and then said to Shao Xiaocao: “Sister, you are not worried that our parents will not be taken care of in their old age, right?”
Although Shao Xiaocao on the side was extremely reluctant to marry into the Zhang family and even knew that she might never return, she still endured sadness when she thought of her parents and said: “Mom, dad, you still have to count on my brother…”
“No.” Shao Yu said decisively: “Our son is dead, but we still have a daughter.”
Everyone present was stunned.
Shao Dabao looked panicked.
Wang and Shao Xiaocao looked in a daze.
“Are you counting on my little sister? Dad, it’s not like you don’t have a son. It’s so embarrassing to recruit a son-in-law…” Shao Dabao became more and more panicked, because he realized more and more clearly that Shao Yu was serious and really planned to kill his own son.
“It’s embarrassing to recruit a son-in-law, isn’t it embarrassing for you? It’s just embarrassing. It’s better to rely on your sister. Your sister is so good at making lanterns. She is my best child. I will trust her to hand over the lantern shop in the future.” Shao Yu said.
Since Shao Xiaocao was born, she has been ignored by her parents at home because she is a girl. At this time, facing Shao Yu’s praise, she felt as if a seed was buried in her heart, quietly taking root and sprouting.
“But…but Xiaocao is a girl after all.” Wang’s face was full of reluctance.
“Think about it carefully, which one is more useful, the son or the daughter?” Shao Yu looked directly at Wang.
Wang’s eyes flashed, and she already had the answer in her heart, but she still said: “Sooner or later, daughters will get married, how can they be compared to sons? It’s not like we don’t have a son…”
After hearing this, the light in Shao Xiaocao’s eyes extinguished little by little.
Wang opened her mouth, wanting to explain something to her daughter, but Shao Xiaocao looked away.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
He slammed the door with such ferocity and force that he seemed to want to smash the entire door panel into pieces.
“Open the door! Open the door, what are the people inside doing? Are they still getting married?”
