Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 13.2: The Prodigal Son (24)
Old Man Zheng was a normal person. For someone like Shao Dabao who would gamble away his sister, he naturally felt wary in his heart, so he couldn’t help but take two steps to the side.
Seeing his behavior, Shao Dabao suddenly felt a sense of despair in his heart, and said to the baby face with some self-destruction: “I know I did something wrong, but I am already changing it, can’t you stop holding on to it?”
The baby-faced boy sneered when he heard this and said, “Change? You are still playing the easy part and being afraid of the hard part. I’m afraid you won’t know how to torment your sister when you go back.”
Shao Dabao heard the words, but suddenly seemed to have grasped the point, and asked the baby face: “What is the relationship between you and Shao Xiaocao? Are you fighting for her?”
The baby-faced boy who was still sneering at first slowly turned red after hearing these words, but soon, he seemed to have thought of something and denied it: “what Shao Xiaocao, I don’t know her at all. Doing this is just a matter of seeing unevenness on the road!”
With that said, baby face pushed Shao Dabao viciously again, no longer caring about his reaction, and walked away with his brothers.
Shao Dabao was pushed into the water again. At this time, most of his clothes were wet.
There were many people watching this farce, but very few people wanted to help him.
Shao Dabao turned to his side, wanting Old Man Zheng to give him a hand, but found that Old Man Zheng had already left at some point.
Shao Dabao only felt the biting coldness of the stream. He dragged his heavy and tired body and slowly climbed ashore. The cold wind blew by, and he felt as if he was in an ice cave.
He just took a deep foot and a shallow foot. When he dragged his heavy body back to the camp, everyone had already eaten dinner, and the meal cook was already cleaning up the mess. Seeing his desolate look, he couldn’t bare it, and he gave him half a cornbread.
Shao Dabao held half a piece of cornbread in his hands, walked aside, and sat down at the corner outside the house.
Shao Dabao broke off a small piece of cornbread. It was obviously very rough in taste, but when he tasted it in his mouth, it felt like a delicacy from the mountains and the sea.
After all, there was only half of it, because he ate it extremely carefully and chewed every bite with a lot of patience. It seemed that chewing it repeatedly made him feel fuller.
Shao Dabao thought that when he used to call friends outside, the table was always full of fish and meat, and when he returned home after socializing, Mrs. Wang would always warm a bowl of hot soup for him.
His eyes gradually became moist. After one day of official service, Shao Dabao already felt as if he was suffering in hell.
One bite after another, even though he ate extremely carefully, there was only a small piece left.
Just as Shao Dabao was about to put it into his mouth, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.
He looked up and saw a familiar face.
Baby face.
When Baby Face saw him, he knocked the food in his hand to the ground without thinking.
“Does a beast like you deserve to be fed?” Baby Face said with disdain.
Shao Dabao had never cherished any food before, but when he saw the cornbread fall to the ground, he felt as painful as losing the whole world.
Without thinking, he punched the baby face directly.
However, Babyface was already prepared, so he stopped him directly, and punched Shao Dabao with his backhand, followed by another burst of punches and kicks.
In the chaos, Shao Dabao tightly protected his head.
“What are you doing? Are you causing trouble?” The officer’s voice sounded, interrupting the one-sided bullying.
The baby-faced man greased the soles of his feet and ran very fast. The guards didn’t see his appearance clearly at night, but when they came closer and saw Shao Dabao lying on the ground with a bruised nose and face, they didn’t give him a good look at all.
This officer was the one who had high hopes for Shao Dabao before.
No matter how high his expectations were, he would be disappointed as well. He looked at Shao Dabao with very unkind eyes.
“You don’t sleep in the middle of the night and went outside to cause trouble!” The officer scolded.
“He was the one who hit me.” Shao Dabao tried to complain..
But before he could tell who was the one who hit him, he heard the guard say: “Then why didn’t he hit anyone else but just you? You must be the one causing trouble!”
Shao Dabao only used this kind of words to suppress others in the past, but he never thought that he would be suppressed like this one day.
“Go to bed quickly. You won’t go to work tomorrow?” the officer asked fiercely.
Shao Dabao dragged his injured body towards the room no matter how much he was wronged.
In the darkness, he touched his bed. Old Man Zheng, who was very close to him, had his eyes closed.
The old man did not purr like last night, but he did not open his eyes to greet Shao Dabao.
Shao Dabao thought it would be difficult for him to fall asleep, but after he got on the bed, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
When he got up the next morning, Old Man Zheng got up as soon as he heard the sound outside. He glanced at Shao Dabao, who was still sleeping beside him, and wanted to reach out and call him, but he still hesitated and put on his own clothes. After putting on his clothes, he left the house directly.
The officer who called people to get up came over with a lamp and went around in a circle. After calling out a few slackers, he saw Shao Dabao lying on the bed completely indifferent. When he thought of this man’s criminal record yesterday, he suddenly became angry and went up to kick him.
But after this kick, Shao Dabao was like a dead man, without any reaction.
The officer kicked him a few more times, but Shao Dabao still lay on the ground without moving. Even if he got off the quilt, he had no intention of getting up.
The officer’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately held the lamp close to Shao Dabao’s face. Under the dim light, the officer saw a face that was burning red. He couldn’t help but reach out and touch Shao Dabao’s forehead.
Immediately he felt a burning sensation.
The officer’s first reaction was not to call a doctor, but to call his colleagues over.
“Quick, this man has a fever, we can’t let him stay here any longer. It would be bad if he infects other people.”
“Send it to where?”
“Throw it to the woodshed and see if he can survive.” The officer said indifferently.
