Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 6.2: The Prodigal Son (14)
“This one, you are being hit for being ignorant, addicted to gambling, and ruining your family fortune.
“Pop!”
It was pulled down again.
“This time, it’s because you are not a human being, and you push your sister into the fire pit yourself. You’re not as good as a beast.”
“Pop!”
“This time, it’s because you are not filial, your parents are too old, and you can’t support the family, and still let us work hard.”
Shao Yu’s pumping movements were fast and precise, and Shao Dabao only felt that these few strokes were more painful than a broken finger.
Shao Yu knew very well that the more painful it was for this kind of impersonal bastard, the more he could remember it.
“Husband, you can’t beat him any more. If you beat him again, he’ll be stupid.” Mrs. Wang said with tears.
Shao Yu snorted coldly and said, “It would be better if he were really stupid. A fool can’t do such bastard things.”
Shao Dabao was beaten to the point of unconsciousness, when he heard Shao Yu commenting on himself like this, a vague thought arose in his heart: Is he really worse than a fool?
“Xiaocao, stop your father!” Mrs. Wang shouted.
Just as Shao Xiaocao was about to make a move, Shao Yu turned around and said to her, “Do you still remember what dad told you?”
Shao Xiaocao paused when she heard the words, although she also felt sorry for her brother being beaten, she instinctively felt that what Shao Yu did was right, in the end she still did not come over, turned her face away, regardless of Mrs. Wang’s blame .
Wang couldn’t stop him, so she could only watch Shao Yu hit her son again and again. She wanted to rush over to block her son, but Shao Yu stopped her. In the end, she could only watch her son get beaten with her own eyes.
When Mrs Wang’s tears were almost dry, Shao Yu finally stopped.
Shao Dabao seems to have blood on his hands, but in fact Shao Yu has always been in control, it is all skin trauma, not hurting bones, but it is enough to make Shao Dabao heartbroken.
Mrs. Wang hurriedly helped her son up and sent him back to the house. She was worried about her son’s condition and stayed beside his bed all night before she breathed a sigh of relief.
Only the thought of her son having broken a finger and being treated so cruelly by her husband made Mrs. Wang feel sad for a while and couldn’t help crying again.
When Shao Yu heard her cry, he did not step forward to comfort her. Instead, he had an in-depth communication with her about her son’s education for the first time.
A loving mother has many bad children, Shao Yu does not blame Mrs. Wang, on the contrary, he actually understands her very well.
Mrs. Wang’s love for her son more than her daughter is actually a very normal thing in such a feudal society. After all, in today’s concept, sons are used to carry on the family line and are also the guarantee of future life in old age.
However, if Mrs. Wang’s doting continues, it will bring great trouble to Shao Yu’s son.
“I remember that there was a boy in your Wang family’s distant relative’s family, called Wang Juncai, who knew a thousand words at the age of three, and could write poetry at the age of five.” Shao Yu said as if unintentionally.
Mrs. Wang stopped crying when she heard the words, and said, “It’s a pity that this kid is spoiled by his family and is lawless. If such a smart child is willing to study hard, he might even be the top scholar”
“What is he doing now?” Shao Yu asked.
“Don’t you know? The year before last, he got angry because someone scolded him. He got angry and killed the person directly and was sent directly to the border.” Mrs. Wang said, and couldn’t help but sigh, “I pity his parents. They cried their eyes out at home, a good scholar ended up like this.
“What would happen if he didn’t kill people, but went to take the imperial examinations and was admitted to the top spot?” Shao Yu asked.
“Then our Wang family will become prosperous.” Thinking of this possibility, Mrs. Wang felt even more pity in her heart, and complained: “It’s all his parents’ fault, they can’t even educate their child well.”
In ancient times, if a family had a jinshi, then the family could walk sideways in the local area.
The Wang family originally thought that Wang Juncai, a child prodigy, would bring prosperity to the entire family, so they devoted all their efforts to cultivating him. However, they unexpectedly spoiled him, and in the end the entire family was embarrassed.
Seeing her entering the game, Shao Yu continued: “Our Dabao was actually not much worse than Wang Juncai when he was a child.”
Mrs. Wang was stunned when she heard this. Shao Dabao’s childhood appearance seemed to be right in front of her.
“Mom, I’ll buy you flowers when I get rich.”
“Mom, when I grow up, I’ll let you ride in a big sedan chair.”
“Mom, wait until I get the first prize and fight for your fate.”
These childish promises seem to still be ringing in her ears.
“What’s Dabao like now?” Shao Yu asked.
Mrs. Wang couldn’t help but close her eyes. Her son, who had been smart since he was a child, was now lying on the bed with a broken finger. He was expelled from school. He had spent all his family’s money and had no skills. He was separated from his parents and sister, and he probably didn’t even have enough to eat.
A good scholar is no different from a loser now.
When Wang was an outsider, she would blame Wang Juncai’s parents for being too doting on their children, but when she was in the game, she just wanted to give her heart to Shao Dabao.
“If we could have discovered and corrected Dabao in time when he lied to his family for the first time, he might still be studying in school now, and he might even have been admitted as a scholar. No, with his intelligence, he might have already been a scholar. .” Shao Yu said.
Mrs. Wang was stunned. When she thought of this possibility, she felt like there was an empty space in her heart, as if she had lost something.
“In that case, you will be the mother-in-law, and the unmarried girls in the whole street will line up to please you. The girls in the whole city will not be for you to choose.” Anyway, it’s all a matter of disappearing, so naturally Shao Yu is How to exaggerate.
But Mrs. Wang brought her own mother filter, and not only did she not think it was fake, but she thought it was very possible. She even felt that Shao Yu was too conservative.
“It’s a pity that he made a mistake when he lied the first time. We didn’t realize it. Every wrong step made him fall deeper and deeper into the ditch. That’s why he was led into the ditch by those bad friends.” Shao Yu sighed.
Wang’s heart felt empty when she heard this, and she finally couldn’t bear it anymore and started crying.
