BHBF Chapter 61.5

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 3) Chapter 61.5: The Son-In-Law of a Wealthy Family (8)

Although Zheng Yaozu was unhappy, he still said with a stiff face: “Dad, you are right. Qiqi will do the same when she goes to the man’s house to meet his parents in the future.”

 

Shao Yu smiled, as if he didn’t understand the meaning of the words at all, and said to Shao Mingzhu: “When you go to your parents-in-law’s house, don’t rush to do housework.”

 

“Do housework? What housework do I have to do?” Shao Mingzhu was very surprised.

 

Shao Yu paused, thinking to himself, great, there’s no need to worry about this one, but he continued, “Although you don’t have to do housework, don’t make too much noise. You have to fulfill your duties as a guest. When you leave, your parents-in-law may give you a red envelope as a greeting gift. Even if the money is small, you are not allowed to laugh at it.”

 

Shao Mingzhu was even more surprised and said, “What do I need their red envelopes for? I don’t lack this money.”

 

Shao Yu picked up the book “Guide to Good Daughters-in-law in Modern Times” in his hand and pointed to a place for Shao Mingzhu to see: “Look, it’s all written in the book. This is the custom. Just follow it.”

 

Shao Mingzhu read the words on the book and found it a little funny that Shao Yu was using the book to guide her life, but she just thought Shao Yu was an old father who was worried about her life, so she could only say helplessly: “I know, I’m not a child, how can I laugh at such a small thing.”

 

Zheng Yaozu felt annoyed after hearing this. It had been ten years since they got married before she met her parents-in-law, but Shao Yu still asked her to act like an ordinary person meeting her parents-in-law for the first time. This only made him feel that Shao Yu was too troublesome. However, he did not dare to disobey his father-in-law in person.

 

Shao Yu didn’t allow Shao Mingzhu to buy expensive gifts, but the things he asked the man’s family to pay for were not cheap. Zheng Yaozu didn’t think his parents could prepare all of these.

 

Shao Yu asked Shao Mingzhu to go back and pack her luggage first, but left Zheng Yaozu behind.

 

“Mingzhu is in poor health, you know.”

 

Zheng Yaozu immediately said, “Don’t worry, Dad. I will take good care of her.”

 

“After all, this is a home visit. Bringing too many people might scare your parents, so we won’t bring her two life assistants.”

 

After hearing this, Zheng Yaozu immediately had a bad feeling.

 

As expected, Shao Yu continued, “Mingzhu doesn’t know how to do anything, so don’t expect her to take care of herself. You have to remember what the two life assistants have to do.”

 

After saying that, Shao Yu gave him a thick notebook, which recorded all of Shao Mingzhu’s living habits.

 

For example, the tonics that Shao Mingzhu takes three times a day, even the cooking time of the tonics is clearly described in the notebook. Even the temperature of the water she drinks and the time she uses the facial mask, these details are all clearly stated.

 

This is simply a “Guide to Worshiping Shao Mingzhu”. Although Zheng Yaozu knew that his wife had always been well taken care of, he did not know that the two life assistants were so meticulous. The standard was no less than those of the princesses in ancient times.

 

Zheng Yaozu was dizzy after reading it, but still nodded to indicate that he remembered it.

 

“I feel relieved knowing you are taking care of Mingzhu.” Shao Yu said.

 

Zheng Yaozu once again made a promise to Shao Yu.

 

“Since you remember everything, there’s nothing to worry about. Go back and pack your luggage.”

 

Hearing that Shao Yu was about to send him away, Zheng Yaozu was still unwilling to give up. He finally mustered up the courage and said, “Dad, although I didn’t do a good job on the last project, I hope you can give me another chance.”

 

Shao Yu looked at him and didn’t pour cold water on him. Instead, he said, “I’ve thought about this carefully. Although you graduated from Dongda University, you don’t have much work experience after all. It’s really too difficult to let you be a manager right after you join the company.”

 

Zheng Yaozu felt that there was something wrong with this statement.

 

Sure enough, Shao Yu continued, “It’s okay if you have no experience. The Shao family can afford to support idle people. You like to work. When you come back, I will arrange a good position for you. It pays well, has little work, is close to home, and you will have enough time to accompany Mingzhu.”

 

When Zheng Yaozu heard about the arrangement of a sinecure again, he was still reluctant and said, “Dad, how can I be paid if I don’t do anything? If you take care of me like this, I’m afraid it will be used as a reason to attack you by someone with ulterior motives. If you think I don’t have enough experience, then you should train me well.”

 

“Don’t worry, I’m not afraid of hardship, and I’m willing to endure it.”

 

Zheng Yaozu spoke with great righteousness, but in fact he still wanted real power.

 

Shao Yu was not moved at all, and only said: “You are not afraid of hard work, but I am afraid that the company will lose money.”

 

Zheng Yaozu:…

 

Zheng Yaozu kept countless dirty words in his heart. It was obvious that in Shao Yu’s eyes, it was more cost-effective to pay a high salary to support a lazy man like him than to give him real power and let him do whatever he wanted.

 

There were obviously thousands of excuses he could use to drag the issue out, but Shao Yu chose to say it so directly. Zheng Yaozu felt that Shao Yu looked down on him, and that was why he was so unwilling to even pretend.

 

 

“Dad, don’t you trust me so much? I have been in the Shao family for ten years. Don’t you know what kind of person I am?” Zheng Yaozu asked with a hint of complaint in his words.
