Nice Guy Dad 10
(Word Count: 4459)
Yang Qiubai was just speaking harshly. Han Ze was a boss after all, so of course she couldn’t break his legs. He just spent a lot of money, and the money he spent was used to buy her a ring. He didn’t make any mistakes of principle, so she couldn’t break his legs. She didn’t mean to be so violent, okay!
Of course, she only thought about this in her mind, and she would never tell Han Ze. If he knew that she was just trying to scare him, he would be so proud. So, she couldn’t tell him what she thought.
Han Ze originally wanted to take advantage of the weekend when the children went back to his hometown, but unexpectedly, Boss Mi came to him and asked him to help carve a jade ornament of peace in all seasons, which a relative of his urgently needed.
Boss Mi helped Han Ze a lot in the early days of his business, and it was hard to repay the debt of gratitude. Han Ze readily accepted the order. In the past, the raw materials for the orders he received were mostly wood, but he also received a few orders for jade ornaments.
After sending Boss Mi away, he looked at Yang Qiubai apologetically: “It seems that I can’t take you back to my hometown. You can go back with the two children. Prepare gifts for mother-in-law’s 70th birthday. Tell mother-in-law that I will go back to see them after I am done with my work, so that she won’t blame me.”
Han Ze’s work was important, and Yang Qiubai smiled and said: “You can get busy, my mother won’t blame you. I bought a gold necklace for my mother, and it happened to be a gift for her birthday this time.”
Since purchasing the great master-level carving skills, Han Ze has been able to carve jade or wood raw materials with ease, and the works he carved are also both realistic and unexpected.
Although Boss Mi had no doubts about Master Han’s carving skills, he had never seen Master Han carve jade and other crafts, so he was a little nervous. After Master Han finished carving the Four Seasons Peace Jade Ornament, he felt that his uneasiness was a blasphemy to Master Han’s craftsmanship. Master Han’s carving skills were already superb and reached the level of being able to do whatever he wanted.
After carving Boss Mi’s Four Seasons Peace Jade Ornament, Han Ze bought a store of more than 100 square meters near the furniture mall. After the store was renovated, he planned to sell the works carved by the carvers in the handicraft factory in the store.
It happened that Yang Qiubai resigned. Seeing that she was idle and had no energy, Han Ze asked her to manage the store. With something to do, Yang Qiubai became energetic again and hired two young salesmen. They took turns to work.
When the two children heard that their mother had opened a store, they named the handicraft store after their parents, which was very mythical. They named it Bai Ze Handicraft. After naming it, they looked at their parents mischievously.
Yang Qiubai glared at the two naughty children. Han Ze raised his eyebrows, but didn’t say anything. He personally went to the carving room to carve a plaque and hung it up carefully. He also changed the name of the original handicraft factory to “Bai Ze Handicraft Factory”.
After Yang Qiubai knew about it, she felt even more uncomfortable facing the jokes of the employees below.
Under Han Ze’s training, the carving skills of the engravers became more mature. Two carving masters emerged in the carving room. The business of the handicraft factory was getting better and better. Many handicraft sellers from other provinces came over to purchase goods.
After a period of time, they purchased goods from Han Ze more frequently. It was obvious that the handicrafts they bought from Master Han were very popular.
After publicity, more and more merchants came to Han Ze Handicraft Factory to wholesale handicrafts. More than a dozen carvers could not finish the goods even if they worked overtime. Han Ze began to recruit carvers on a large scale across the country. After a year, he recruited and trained hundreds of carvers one after another. Even so, the carvers kept carving and still could not meet the needs of customers.
At this time, the yard that Han Ze bought seemed small. After considering it, he bought a piece of land in the suburbs of the city. It took him several months to build the Bai Ze Handicraft Factory. The factory built dormitories and canteens. More than a hundred carvers and other staff all moved to the suburban factory area and lived in the dormitories in the factory.
A few months later, the operation of the Bai Ze Handicraft Factory was gradually on track. At this time, the Bai Ze Handicraft Shop managed by Yang Qiubai had opened three chain stores in the city. She even had the idea of opening stores in other cities.
Han Ze did not stop her. No matter where she wanted to open a store, he supported her. After all, the family had a factory and he was in charge. Even if it was a loss, it was okay.
With Han Ze’s support, after the children graduated from elementary school, Bai Ze Handicrafts Shop opened eight chain stores in other cities.
Yang Qiubai almost became a frequent flyer, often running around in various cities. She was often not seen at home, which made her two children complain. Only then did she realize that because of work, she had neglected her man and children. She was very upset and hired a senior management talent to take over most of her work. She finally had the time to breathe a sigh of relief.
Whether Yang Qiubai was busy or not, Han Ze just smiled and said nothing. Whether it was carving handicrafts or opening a store, if you do everything yourself, you will be exhausted and the work will never be finished. After a period of tempering, Qiubai finally realized the importance of talent, and he was still very pleased.
Yang Qiubai sighed and said, “No wonder you have taken some time out in the past two years to train carvers and teach the carvers in the factory. Once you train them, won’t it be easy for you? If everyone is like me and does everything by myself, how long will I have to be busy?”
Han Ze smiled and said, “I’m glad you can figure it out.”
Yang Qiubai said angrily, “You really didn’t remind me before.”
Han Ze raised his eyebrows and said, “You may not listen to me if I tell you. Besides, even if you listen to me, it won’t be as profound as the enlightenment you get after experiencing it yourself.”
Yang Qiubai: “…”
After the operation of Bai Ze Handicraft Factory became stable, Han Ze borrowed money from the bank to buy thousands of acres of land around the factory, and began to build Bai Ze Furniture Factory and Bai Ze Handicraft Factory No. 2.
When the two factories were completed, the merchants who bought goods knew that Master Han was going to open a furniture factory. They were eager to try and sell furniture wholesale for Master Han. They could sell handicrafts and furniture. As long as they could make money, it was not illegal, and they had channels, they could do anything.
Han Ze had experience in the first two worlds and knew what kind of furniture would be popular in the future. He was a carver and had a good foundation in drawing. He drew the furniture drawings and waited for the carpenters to make the solid wood furniture, which attracted merchants to scramble for orders.
Han Ze bought a villa in the city. Han Jiaojiao was very excited when she knew that her family had opened a furniture factory. She personally drew the drawings of the furniture she liked and asked the carpenters in the furniture factory to make them for her. After leaving them for a while, she put them in her room after the villa was renovated.
Bai Ze Furniture Factory produces all solid wood furniture, targeting the mid-to-high-end market. Despite this, the factory’s goods are in short supply, and even have better business than the handicraft factory. After all, furniture is the mainstream market, and the demand is definitely higher than that of handicrafts.
After Bai Ze Furniture Factory opened for a year, he built Bai Ze Furniture Factory No. 2, and soon after, Bai Ze Furniture Factory No. 3. The thousands of acres of land he bought were no longer enough, so he went to the provincial capital to buy hundreds of acres of land, planning to build a factory in the provincial capital.
After the factory was built in the provincial capital, the two children had graduated from junior high school, and Yang Qiubai’s Bai Ze handicraft stores had opened in many large cities across the country.
Han Ze’s Bai Ze Handicraft Factory No. 8 and Bai Ze Furniture Factory No. 9 were built and completed in the capital of the neighboring province. As more and more factories were opened, Bai Ze handicrafts and Bai Ze furniture have become nationally famous enterprises, and Han Ze has become busier and busier. He has not returned to his hometown to visit his family for two years.
The couple was in this situation of being apart from each other, and Yang Qiubai was pregnant.
At this time, Han Ze was 42 years old, and Yang Qiubai was 36 years old. They had been married for so many years without any contraceptive measures, and they had not gotten pregnant. They had no expectations of having children. Suddenly, Yang Qiubai was pregnant, and the couple was stunned.
Han Jiaojiao and Han Lekang were very happy when they knew that they were going to have a sister or brother. Han Jiaojiao was already 15 years old. She was sensible at an early age. She knew that she was a child picked up by her father. She was sad for a while and then gave up. Regardless of whether she was her biological child or not, her father’s love for her was real. She couldn’t let her father who loved her since she was a child be sad.
Her father raised her, and she was his biological daughter. Now that her father can have a biological child, she and her brother are happy for her from the bottom of their hearts. Her father worked hard all his life, but he didn’t even have a biological child. The two siblings felt guilty.
After Han Ze was surprised and flustered, he came to his senses and asked an experienced aunt to come back to take care of Yang Qiubai. Under the aunt’s careful care, Yang Qiubai gave birth to a girl a few months later. Han Ze named her Han Yueyue.
At this time, Bai Ze Furniture Factory and Bai Ze Handicraft Factory opened several branches in other provinces. Han Ze’s factories across the country have grown to more than 30. Bai Ze Enterprise has become a nationally famous enterprise. Han Yueyue can be said to be born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She is loved by her parents and pampered by her brother and sister, but she is not spoiled. The little girl looks cute and pleasing, and her mouth is as sweet as honey. When guests come to her home, she is not afraid of strangers. She opens her mouth and calls them uncles and aunts. She is very lovable.
Time flies. In a blink of an eye, Han Jiaojiao and Han Lekang have graduated from high school. The grades of the two children have not dropped over the years. Han Ze hired a tutor for them, and their grades improved. Han Jiaojiao’s dream has always been Beijing University, and she lived up to expectations and was admitted to Beijing University.
In her previous life, due to the limited economic conditions of her family and the limited teaching staff of the school, she could only be admitted to Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications even if she tried her best.
When Han Lekang heard that his sister was going to Beijing to attend university, he also applied to Huaqing University in Beijing. Although his sister learned martial arts from her master and it was not a problem to knock down a few adult men, in his heart, his sister was still the little fool who needed his protection when she was a child. Even though his sister was going to college now, he was determined to protect her from being hurt.
Through the memory of the original body, Han Ze knew that the boy that Jiaojiao liked in her previous life was in Beijing, and the people who killed her were also in Beijing. As for Wang Chunli, the daughter of the accomplice Wang Licheng, he had not been back to his hometown for a while, but he still knew that she was sent to work in coastal cities by Wang Licheng after graduating from junior high school.
This is completely different from the memory of the original body. In the memory of the original body, Wang Chunli was admitted to Beijing University of Commerce and Industry in her previous life, but she did not even go to high school in this life and went out to work.
Combining the memories of the original body, he quickly found the answer. Wang Licheng and his wife did not do business, nor did they go out to work. With the little money they earned from farming, they were already stretched to the limit to support their son’s education, and it was impossible for them to have extra money to support their daughter.
Wang Licheng and his wife certainly loved their daughter, but their son’s school performance was also excellent. In this case, in their eyes, their daughter was definitely not as good as their son who could carry on the family line and provide for their old age. Without the original body lending money to help, Wang Chunli’s dropping out of school was an inevitable result.
Han Ze laughed. It turned out that as long as he didn’t lend them money, he didn’t need to do anything more, and their lives would change dramatically.
The two children received admission letters from their respective schools. Han Ze considered that he hadn’t been back to his hometown for a long time and planned to take them back to see it.
The hometown has changed a lot over the years. Many families in the village have built buildings. Elder and Second Brother Han have also built buildings through their own efforts over the years. Second Brother Han even organized his own rural construction team and became a small rural contractor, building houses for people everywhere. Although the money earned is not much, it is not a small amount. Some time ago, the family bought a car.
Han Lekang and Han Jiaojiao got their driver’s licenses when they turned 18. When they held their coming-of-age ceremony, Han Ze gave them a luxury car each. Han Jiaojiao’s car was a classic red Maranello, and Han Lekang’s car was a Land Rover SUV.
This time when he went home, Han Ze did not drive. He took his youngest daughter and Yang Qiubai in his daughter’s car.
They went directly to Father Han’s house. After Han Ze made money, he had paid for them to build a three-story country villa a few years ago. Han Ze and Yang Qiubai lived in the villa when they came back.
No matter how the original parents treated the original body, they gave birth to him. So, after Han Ze made money, he was very willing to spend it on both parents. Even if he didn’t have time, he would ask the company’s assistant to remind him to remit money to both parents. During the holidays, he would bring a whole truckload of gifts to their homes. As long as the elderly on both sides could enjoy their old age, he didn’t mind spending a little more money.
Hu Guiying received so much money from her sons that her pockets were bulging. She also had the confidence in front of her eldest son and second son. The estrangement with her youngest son’s family was completely eliminated, especially after Yang Qiubai gave birth to Xiao Yueyue. She no longer had the last bit of dissatisfaction with Yang Qiubai. Every time Xiao Yueyue came back, she hugged her and called her and kissed her like a sweetheart.
Han Jiaojiao knew that she was not a biological child, so as long as her parents liked her, she would be fine. As for the love of her grandparents, she would not force it. Now that her grandparents liked Yueyue, she was still relieved, at least her grandparents did not only like the children of her eldest and second uncles.
Han Pingping’s academic performance was not good. She was admitted to a technical secondary school in the city after graduating from junior high school. Now she has graduated and is at home. Seeing her grandmother calling Yueyue her darling, she felt jealous. Her grandmother loved her since she was a child, but she had never called her like that. She tugged at Han Jiaojiao’s clothes and asked maliciously: “My uncle has a biological daughter now. Do you feel out of favor? Are you envious of Yueyue?”
Han Jiaojiao glanced at her. She was no longer the little girl who cried and made a fuss when she was a child because of a wild child’s words. She retorted lightly: “Dad loves me as much as Yueyue. Why should I feel out of favor? What’s more, Yueyue is so well-behaved and cute. I like her so much that I can’t wait to like her. Why should I be jealous of her?”
Han Pingping hugged her chest and said: “Because Yueyue is my uncle’s biological daughter. Do you think you will have a share of his property now that my uncle has a biological daughter?”
Han Jiaojiao frowned and looked at her, and said: “Han Pingping, that’s all you think.” After that, she turned and left.
Han Pingping curled her lips in disdain, looking at Han Jiaojiao’s back, thinking ‘there will always be a time for you to cry.’
Han Ze raised his eyebrows, glanced at his depressed daughter, and asked with a smile: “What did Pingping say?”
Han Jiaojiao glanced at her father and said with a smile: “Pingping said that Dad doesn’t love me anymore now that he has a biological daughter. She thinks about these things all day long, and her heart has grown crooked.”
Han Ze patted her head and sighed: “You three are all Dad’s children. If you ask who Dad prefers, Dad likes you the most. Dad has brought you up since you were a few months old. Before your mother married Dad, we depended on each other for seven years. Our father-daughter relationship is naturally special. Even Dad’s furniture factory was opened because of you.”
The original body’s obsession was also this adopted daughter.
Han Jiaojiao’s eyes were red, and she cried out, “Dad, I didn’t think too much, really.”
Han Ze touched her head and said, “I know, you are a good girl and you won’t think too much. You can’t listen to what people outside say. You just need to know that what Yueyue has, you and Lekang will also have.”
Han Jiaojiao nodded. She was not her father’s biological child, but she was no different from his. She wouldn’t say that she didn’t want his things, because that would definitely make her father unhappy.
Wu Bin, Cao Hua, and Wang Licheng heard that Han Ze was back and were all considering whether to come over to see him. Han Ze’s business has grown bigger and bigger over the years, and his aura has become stronger and stronger, but the three of them have not changed much. In addition, Han Ze rarely comes back, and their relationship with Han Ze has become increasingly distant.
In the eyes of the three, Han Ze’s company is so big, and the people who usually come and go are either rich businessmen or powerful people. They will definitely look down on their rural friends who are not presentable. Han Ze finally returned to his hometown, and they did not gather around him like the villagers did.
After so many years, Han Dazhuang is still the henpecked Han Dazhuang. He looked at Han Ze, who was calm, reserved but still handsome, and said with sudden enlightenment: “Han Ze, ever since you moved to the city, I’ve been wondering why we are both afraid of our wives. You live a fairy-like life, but I live a miserable life like hell.”
Han Ze said with a smile: “Did you figure it out?”
Han Dazhuang nodded and said, “I thought about it over and over again but couldn’t figure it out. Seeing you now, I figured it out.”
Han Ze raised his handsome eyebrows and said, “Oh?”
Han Dazhuang pointed at his face and exclaimed, “I only realized today that you are still a pretty boy.”
Han Ze: “…”
Han Dazhuang said again: “Not only do we men like beautiful women, but women also like handsome men. Your Yang Qiubai must be reluctant to hit you because you are handsome.”
Han Ze didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “I thought it was because I could make money.”
Han Dazhuang waved his hand and said, “You can indeed make money. If you look as ugly as me, even if you can make money, Yang Qiubai will not pay attention to you. You should thank Uncle Han and Aunt Han.”
Han Ze looked at him, and Han Dazhuang said, “Thank Uncle Han and Aunt Han for giving birth to you so handsome.”
Liu Qingmei was talking to Yang Qiubai. When she heard Han Dazhuang’s words, she shouted, “Han Dazhuang, what are you talking about again?”
Han Dazhuang quickly said, “Nothing, nothing.”
After that, he looked at Han Ze and said, “The older this tigress gets, the worse her temper becomes. Han Ze, you are still the best.”
Han Ze looked at him with a smile.
Han Dazhuang looked at Han Ze’s handsome face with envy and jealousy, and said, “With this face, you have everything.”
After that, he put his hands behind his back and walked away disappointedly.
Han Ze shook his head, this Han Dazhuang.
Until Han Ze’s family left Hanjia Village, Wu Bin and the other two had not yet decided whether to come to see Han Ze. When they heard that Han Ze had left, they were all very disappointed and thought to themselves, ‘he finally came back, why did he leave so soon?’
After the Han family left Hanjia Village, the two children drove directly to Yangjia Village. Father and Mother Yang had a good life in the past two years and were still in good health. After Han Ze made money, he also paid for them to build a house. It can be said that all the expenses of the old couple in these years were given by Han Ze.
Who in the village didn’t envy them? The people who originally saw Han Ze as incompetent also regretted it very much. Why did they dislike Han Ze for being a good man, unable to save money, and were unwilling to marry their daughter to him, and couldn’t bear their daughter to suffer with him?
Later, seeing that Yang Qiubai couldn’t get married because she broke a man’s leg, and was forced to marry Han Ze, they were still waiting to see the joke.
Unexpectedly, her life has been getting better and better since she married Han Ze, and now she has become the boss’s wife and a rich lady.
If they had married their daughter to Han Ze, would they have been treated the same way as the old couple Father and Mother Yang, and would their daughter have become a rich wife?
Mother Yang looked at her handsome and tall grandson, feeling mixed emotions, and said angrily, “Some time ago, Lekang’s father came and wanted to take Lekang back, but I scolded him and he left.”
Yang Qiubai was startled, and without thinking, he said, “Why should he take Lekang back?”
Han Lekang frowned, lowered his head and said nothing.
Mother Yang sighed and said, “Why should he recognize Lekang? Just because he is Lekang’s biological father.”
Yang Qiubai’s wealthy life over the years has restrained her overbearing temper, but her aura, like Han Ze’s, is getting stronger and stronger. She snorted coldly, “So what if he’s his biological father? Before he and I divorced, he lost all the money he earned. Lekang has never spent a penny of his earnings since he was born. Later, I married Han Ze, and it was Han Ze who raised him and trained him to become a talent. Now that Lekang has been admitted to university, he wants to take advantage of him, but it’s not that easy.”
Mother Yang frowned. What her daughter said was true. The grace of giving birth is not as great as the grace of raising. Han Ze raised Lekang without regrets, and even hired a martial arts teacher for him. He trained him to be so outstanding. There is no reason to let Han Chengjie take advantage of him.
Han Lekang suddenly said, “My only father is Han Ze.”
His tone was light but Mother Yang and Yang Qiubai could hear the determination in his words.
Yang Qiubai looked at him and said, “You won’t regret it?”
Han Lekang shook his head and said, “Before we moved to the city, I met him near the school. I called him dad, but he said that I had followed my mother and I was no longer his child. He also said that he had a wife, and that his wife was pregnant and would give him an obedient son.”
Yang’s mother snorted and laughed twice, and couldn’t help cursing, “What an obedient son. The wife he married later gave him three girls in a row, and then she seemed to have a bad body and didn’t give birth to anymore.”
Yang Qiubai gloated, “He thought of Lekang when he had no son?”
Mother Yang didn’t say anything, but he didn’t think of Lekang when he had no son.
Han Lekang looked even more indifferent.
