Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 3) Chapter 62.5: The Son-In-Law of a Wealthy Family (14)
Although Zheng Yaozu was the son-in-law of a wealthy family, he rarely told his parents about the situation in the family, so Zheng’s mother couldn’t stop having wild thoughts.
When Zheng’s mother thought of this, she immediately felt very distressed and felt that her son was being treated like a slave in her daughter-in-law’s home.
Zheng Yaozu shook his head and said, “The Shao family has a cook and maids, so I don’t have to worry about housework.”
Mother Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked, “Then she came here and did nothing. Does she treat me as a nanny?”
Zheng Yaozu was overwhelmed, but there were many things he couldn’t explain clearly to his parents. On the one hand, he didn’t want his parents to think he was scheming, and on the other hand, he was afraid that his parents could not keep the secret, which would be bad if Shao Mingzhu found out.
Zheng Yaozu could only say vaguely: “Mom, my father -in-law treats me very well. You should also love Mingzhu. If you treat Mingzhu well, my father-in-law will treat me better. My job depends on my father-in-law.”
Mother Zheng curled her lips and said, “Whose daughter-in-law lies down to sleep as soon as she comes home? Am I not good enough to her?”
Zheng Yaozu:…
“No matter how good I am to her, she still has to cook.”
Seeing that the old lady seemed to not have understood, and had made up her mind to let Shao Mingzhu cook. He could only roll up his sleeves and said, “Forget it. Since we are so short of people to cook, let me do it instead.”
Mother Zheng loved her son the most, so she would never let him cook. She immediately scolded him, “You married a wife and forgot your mother. Don’t make trouble here. Go call your sisters over.”
Shao Mingzhu had no idea what was happening downstairs. It was already an hour and a half later when she woke up from an uneasy sleep. The first thing she did after getting up was to find her life assistant.
But after a moment, she realized that her life assistant was not around and had to call Zheng Yaozu.
Zheng Yaozu was still describing his good days in Shanghai to his relatives, but after receiving the call, he did not dare to delay and could only quickly climb up the stairs.
Shao Mingzhu sat on the bed and said, “Get some hot water. I’ll wash my face and put on a facial mask. Find the mask I use at night.”
Zheng Yaozu was suddenly overwhelmed. He searched in Shao Mingzhu’s suitcase for a long time before he found a dozen facial masks put together.
But when Shao Mingzhu received the mask, she immediately said, “This is for the morning. I want the one for the evening.”
Zheng Yaozu turned out another one.
Shao Mingzhu said: “It’s still not right, you should find a bottled facial mask.”
After some trouble, Zheng Yaozu finally found the facial mask that Shao Mingzhu wanted.
Shao Mingzhu was even more unhappy than him and said, “The assistant explained it to you so clearly, why did it take you so long to find it?”
Zheng Yaozu had to coax her a few more times in a gentle voice before he finally appeased this very picky aunt.
After applying the facial mask, Shao Mingzhu began to put on makeup carefully in front of the mirror, still complaining about the bad lighting.
Zheng Yaozu was a little anxious when he heard the occasional urging voices outside the house. He said, “It’s just to meet our relatives. Is it necessary to put on makeup? Mingzhu, come downstairs quickly. The relatives are waiting for dinner.”
No matter how Zheng Yaozu urged her, Shao Mingzhu always stared at her makeup and couldn’t help complaining, “It would be better if Xiao Yang was here.”
Xiao Yang is Shao Mingzhu’s personal assistant and is very good at makeup.
After waiting for a long time for Shao Mingzhu to finish her makeup, Zheng’s mother, who was standing outside the door, was already waiting with a gloomy face. However, Shao Mingzhu didn’t care too much. Instead, she held Zheng Yaozu’s arm with some pride.
Shao Mingzhu didn’t know that her confidence came from Shao Yu. Instead, she felt that as long as Zheng Yaozu loved her, she didn’t have to care too much about what her in-laws thought.
When Zheng Yaozu was in Shencheng, he felt extremely aggrieved when facing Shao Yu. But now when he returned to his hometown and faced the fight between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he felt endless irritation all over his body.
After what happened before, the relatives did not restrain themselves during the dinner. After the female elders had acted like demons, they started to act like demons with the male elders.
“It’s rare for my niece-in-law to come back, so she must have a drink with us.”
The male elders began to do what everyone in the country likes to do at the drinking table: persuade girls to drink.
Shao Mingzhu frowned and looked at Zheng Yaozu standing beside her.
Although Zheng Yaozu did not have much love for Shao Mingzhu, due to years of habit, he knew what Shao Mingzhu meant with just one look.
“Mingzhu can’t drink alcohol, so it’s better to let her drink tea instead.” As he said, Zheng Yaozu was about to pour tea for Shao Mingzhu.
But the eldest uncle stopped him and scolded him, “Yaozu, I’m not saying anything bad about you, but you are really disappointing.”
Zheng Yaozu was stunned.
The eldest uncle continued to act like an elder and said, “At home, men are the boss and have the final say. But you are so good that you are being suppressed by your wife. Do you still look like a man?”
Zheng Yaozu became even more annoyed after hearing this. He also wanted to have the final say at home, but the Shao family was too rich. Even though he had been so angry that he wanted to beat Shao Mingzhu to death many times, he would not dare to move when Shao Yu glanced at him.
