BHBF Chapter 30.2

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 30.2: The Prodigal Son (58)

“Of course it’s to carry on the family line.” Shao Dabao said it matter of course, this matter has long been ingrained in his heart.

 

Shao Yu sighed and said: “Long live the emperor, but it is difficult for his descendants to survive forever, let alone ordinary people like us. Death is like a lamp going out, and everything will stop after death. As powerful as the First Emperor, he also can’t control the descendants of future generations.”

 

“But without children, I always feel inferior to others.” It was difficult for Shao Dabao to cross the hurdle in his heart.

 

Shao Yu shook his head and said, “I never asked you not to give birth.”

 

Shao Dabao was suddenly puzzled.

 

Shao Yu continued: “Having children should not be for the prolonging of the clan, nor should it be for one’s own retirement in the future.”

 

“Then what’s it for?”

 

“Having a child is because I have thought clearly and can shoulder the heavy responsibility of being a parent, so I welcome a little life into this world.”

 

“When it comes, carefully care for it to grow up, watch your own flesh and blood grow little by little, and enjoy the fun of getting along with it, as if you have also left your mark on the world, from a young sapling to a towering tree.”

 

Listening to Shao Yu’s description, Shao Dabao couldn’t help but sketch a picture in his mind.

 

“They are all your own flesh and blood. It doesn’t matter whether they are a boy or a girl. What is important is the connection between you and your constant concern for each other.”

 

In Shao Yu’s heart, daughters are never worse than sons. He doesn’t want Shao Dabao to still have those old thoughts in his heart and continue to squeeze a good girl in order to have a son in the future.

 

Shao Xiaocao came over at this time and said softly to Shao Yu: “Dad and I have constant concerns, so I will have to be his daughter in the next life.”

 

Shao Yu smiled and touched the top of her hair.

 

Seeing his sister’s dependence on her father, for some reason, many images emerged in Shao Dabao’s mind.

 

Those things he ignored intentionally or unintentionally in the past all appeared in his mind at this time. Although there were three children in the family, Amao was well-behaved and sensible, but Shao Yu was most attentive, without a doubt to Shao Xiaocao .

 

Shao Yu is not in good health, and often suffers from cough in autumn and winter. This kind of problem is not fatal, but it is difficult to cure. Although Shao Xiaocao cannot cure Shao Yu, she will always serve stewed soup to help relieve his cough when he feels uncomfortable.

 

There are many such trivial things, and even if the two boys notice them, they can’t do anything. However, Shao Xiaocao always has a way to make Shao Yu happy.

 

Even in those years when Shao Dabao failed, the person who carried the whole family by making lanterns was still Shao Xiaocao.

 

“My daughter is as good as ten sons.” Shao Yu smiled very proudly.

 

When Shao Dabao heard this, he suddenly felt that it would be a very happy thing to have a daughter like his sister.

 

“Since it’s the same whether you have a son or a daughter, I won’t force it any more.” Shao Dabao finally relaxed.

 

Seeing that what he said was true, Shao Yu felt slightly relieved and said, “Just wait for the news after the new year. I will try my best to help you.”

 

Shao Dabao was overjoyed.

 

Shao Yu then said: “Don’t be too happy too early, this matter has not been settled yet.”

 

Shao Dabao felt that if his father was really willing to take action, then the matter would be certain.

 

“There are a few other conditions, see if you can accept them.”

 

After Shao Dabao listened to Shao Yu’s conditions, he was silent for a long time. He didn’t even ask who came up with the conditions, he just asked, “Can you accept this condition?”

 

“There’s nothing I can’t accept.”

 

Shao Dabao still felt embarrassed on his face and said: “If this happens, I’m afraid outsiders will think…”

 

Shao Yu said directly: “Your life is yours. If you sacrifice a little reputation, you can buy your wife’s happiness. A happy family in the future is worth more than a thousand dollars.”

 

“Did she propose all these conditions?” Shao Dabao asked.

 

Shao Yu shook his head.

 

In the eyes of the cheap son full of doubts, Shao Yu explained: “Think about it carefully, a girl who doesn’t even want betrothal gifts, she treats you with sincerity, and you should treat her with sincerity.”

 

“What could be more sincere than these?”

 

Shao Dabao was finally persuaded by Shao Yu. Even though he felt that he had sacrificed a lot, he still agreed to various additional conditions proposed by Shao Yu.

 

The next morning, Shao Yu changed into new clothes, dressed neatly, and carried gifts to the door of a family.

 

When Dr. Lu saw that it was Shao Yu who came to the door, his face immediately lit up with joy.

 

Shao Yu entered the Lu family’s yard and saw that the sun had not yet risen, but Lu Yun’er had already started drying medicinal materials in the yard.

 

Although Lu Yuner is a girl, she studied medicine with her father since she was a child, so she began to help her father with chores in the medical hall very early.

 

“Uncle Shao.” Lu Yun’er was very bold when facing Shao Dabao, but when she saw Shao Yu, she showed a bit of shyness.

 

Shao Yu nodded, looked at a medical book that Lu Yun’er put aside, and asked, “Can Yun’er also treat diseases?”

 

“Why are you reading these books again? You are a girl, what’s the use of reading these books?” Dr. Lu said with some dissatisfaction.

 

Lu Yun’er smiled and said, “I like looking at it.”

 

Doctor Lu wanted to give a few more lessons, but Shao Yu said: “The child likes to read, no matter what she reads, it is a good thing.”

 

In front of Shao Yu, Doctor Lu no longer blamed his daughter.

 

After entering the inner room and Doctor Lu held his daughter far away, he asked: “Brother Shao is coming today. Has the family discussed it?”

 

Dr. Lu was actually a little uneasy. He really liked Shao Dabao and wanted to marry his daughter to this young man who had saved him. However, the Shao family had not always had a positive attitude. But now that his daughter was getting older day by day, he was more interested. Dr. Lu became more and more anxious.

 

Shao Yu looked around and saw that the interior of the house was very simple, apparently because there had been no hostess to take care of it for a long time.

 

“The matter of the two children needs to be discussed again.” Shao Yu said.

 

Dr. Lu’s heart sank when he heard this, but he had always been a sincere person. He and his daughter had identified Shao Dabao, and they were easily unwilling to change it. It was obvious that he marrying a daughter should be the one with a high profile, but because of his obvious thoughts, he became even more humble.

 

“Does Dabao feel dissatisfied?” Doctor Lu asked.

 

Shao Yu sighed and thought to himself that for such a solid-minded person, it is no wonder that he has been practicing medicine for many years and has no other assets except a medical clinic.

 

“The Shao family has four more requests.” Shao Yu said.

 

When Dr. Lu heard this, he looked a little embarrassed and said, “Brother Shao, I only have one daughter. I have given everything I can give. No matter how much you want, I really can’t give it.”

 

Shao Yu knew that he would say such things. The more sincere Dr. Lu was, the more Shao Yu was afraid that he would be dragged down by Shao Dabao.

 

“Forget it, if you have any requirements, you can put it forward first, and I will do my best to satisfy it.” Doctor Lu kept the kindness in his heart, and only hoped that the Shao family would not make excessive demands.

 

“First, my son is not very good at managing accounts. Your girl will have to manage accounts in the future.”

 

Doctor Lu was stunned when he heard this. He couldn’t tell whether Shao Yu was telling the truth or a lie.

 

He thought he would face the difficulties from the Shao family, but this condition seemed to be helping his daughter no matter how you look at it.

 

“Secondly, even if your girl marries into my Shao family, she will inherit your medical clinic in the future.”

 

Doctor Lu paused for a moment and said, “I inherited the medical clinic, but she can’t practice medicine…”
