Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 1.1: The Prodigal Son (1)
“Mom, Zhang is a bully… I don’t want to marry him…”
Shao Yu opened his eyes and saw a girl wearing a red wedding dress.
He looked around and could see that the family’s financial situation was not good. The four walls were dark and there were many gaps. It was obvious that it had been many years since the last time the walls were painted.
The place where he stayed was obviously a girl’s boudoir, but there weren’t many things with feminine characteristics.
The room was small and dark, with only a bed made of wooden frames. The chair Shao Yu was sitting on was temporarily moved in.
The so-called bed was just a few wooden boards on two benches. The bedding on the bed was all shabby and had obviously been used for many years.
There were no jewelry or clothes on the wooden shelves beside them. They were filled with bamboo strips, oiled paper and other miscellaneous items.
The bride sitting on the bed was wearing a bright red wedding dress. She was crying so hard that her eyes were dim with tears, and she was still holding a lantern in her hand.
The bride moved skillfully and quickly built a cylindrical lantern frame.
Although the gray-haired woman next to the bride couldn’t bear it, she still comforted her patiently: “Daughter, all women have to marry, whether they marry the master’s family or the west’s family, it’s all the same. You just need to hurry up and go to Zhang. Don’t forget your family, don’t forget your brother…”
However, the bride was not comforted at all. Instead, she cried even harder and said to her mother, “Can’t I not get married? I will stay at home and lay lanterns for you…”
When her mother heard this, she cried even harder than she did, and said, “My daughter, even if you build lanterns until you die, you still won’t earn fifty taels!”
Shao Yu could naturally see that at this time, this happy event had entered the stage of crying for marriage. But when ordinary people “cry for marriage”, they cry for joy, but for this incident in front of him, both mother and daughter were really crying.
At this time, the door on the side suddenly opened, and a young man who looked about twenty years old walked in.
The young man has a good appearance, but because of the air between his eyebrows and eyes, his face makes people feel very uncomfortable. Compared with the gloomy situation in the room, the young man’s face is full of joy at this time.
“Sister, why are you crying on such a beautiful day? It won’t look pretty if you cry.” The young man said with a smile.
The bride who was sitting on the bed weaving a lantern raised her head, glanced at him, and cried even harder.
“Oh, don’t cry, don’t cry. What kind of family is the Zhang family? You can become a young mistress if you go there. If it weren’t for your me, your brother, this blessing would not be yours!” the young man said angrily.
The bride didn’t reply, but her tears became more and more intense.
“Blessing?” Shao Yu asked softly.
“Yes, yes, dad, what kind of family is the Zhang family? If I hadn’t owed money to the Zhang family, how could my sister be so lucky!” the young man said with a smile.
“Such a good blessing is given to you, do you want it?” Shao Yu asked.
“This…” The young man was stunned for a moment and said immediately: “Dad, are you kidding me? I am a man, how can I get married to Zhang?”
“Haha.” Shao Yu sneered and stared at the young man with his eyes.
The young man was so stared at by his own father that he couldn’t understand why his father, who had always been so obedient to him, suddenly acted like this. However, he soon thought that his sister was married to an uncle of the Zhang family, and he would go to the gambling house owned by his brother-in-law in the future. Can’t it be done sideways?
Thinking of this, the young man approached his sister again and talked playfully, trying to brainwash his sister so that she would not forget about him, a good brother, when she gets married in the future.
Shao Yu had already accepted the plot of this world before he opened his eyes, so the way he looked at the young man in front of him became more and more strange.
Such a thing is actually worthy of being the protagonist?
Among the three people in front of him, the older one is his wife Wang, the arrogant young man is his son Shao Dabao, and the one who is getting married is his daughter Shao Xiaocao.
One is called Dabao and the other is called Xiaocao. Just by looking at their names, you can know who is more important to their parents.
This is a story about a prodigal son who returns home. Shao Dabao has been smart since he was a child. As the only son in the family, he has naturally become the heartthrob of the Shao family.
Growing up, Shao Dabao had everything he wanted. He didn’t want to learn how to make lanterns, so his family sent him to study. After studying for many years, he was not even a scholar, but his family didn’t complain at all and still allowed him to eat, drink and have fun outside.
As for his sister, Shao Xiaocao, she is only fifteen years old this year. She is obviously a slim girl, but her hands are full of calluses.
