Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 18: The Prodigal Son (33)
Shao Yu recalled that the old couple had been together for many years, and they thought they had a deep relationship, but now, this is it?
Seeing that Shao Yu didn’t speak, Mrs. Wang cursed again: “Do you have to kill us two to be happy?”
Mrs. Wang’s face was full of disgust, and she was obviously full of resistance to what Shao Yu did.
Shao Xiaocao immediately said, “Mother, there must be some misunderstanding…”
Shao Xiaocao still firmly believed that Shao Yu did not commit any crime.
But Mrs. Wang pushed her away again and said, “You are just a broom star. Your father must have killed because of you.”
A look of sadness suddenly appeared on Shao Xiaocao’s face. She also realized at this time that no matter how hard she tried, she could not make Mrs. Wang satisfied with her.
“If you blame me, blame me. Don’t push the child.” Shao Yu helped Shao Xiaocao up and then said to her: “You go into the room and leave us alone.”
Shao Xiaocao glanced at Shao Yu worriedly, but Shao Yu nodded towards her, indicating that he was fine.
After coaxing his daughter back into the house, Shao Yu also walked towards the back room. He didn’t want to stand in the yard and argue with Mrs. Wang.
But in this short period of time, Mrs. Wang seemed to have figured out the countermeasures. She rushed directly to the house and searched carefully. She didn’t even spare Shao Xiaocao’s room, and took out the few remaining items in the house. I found all the valuable things and put them in a package, pretending to be going on a long trip.
“Have you packed it up?” Shao Yu asked.
Mrs. Wang said with a cold face, “I want to send these back to my parents’ home.”
“What about Dabao? Won’t you leave it to him?” Shao Yu asked.
After sending all the things in the house back to her parents’ house, it was obvious that they would never return. Shao Yu thought that all the good things would be left to Dabao.
But Mrs. Wang said: “When Dabao comes back, my family will naturally return these things to me.”
Shao Yu was shocked by her innocence and asked, “Why?”
Mrs. Wang said plausibly: “You committed a crime, can you still keep your family property? If you can, just a little bit.”
“What if Dabao can’t come back?” Shao Yu asked curiously.
Mrs. Wang immediately widened her eyes and said, “My Dabao must not be dead! He is still going to take the first prize exam!”
Shao Yu paused after hearing this and secretly thought that the love between mother and son was deep.
She suddenly seemed to think of something again, stretched out her hand and said to Shao Yu: “Give me the deed of the shop.”
“Send it back to your parents’ home too?” Shao Yu asked.
Mrs. Wang nodded.
Shao Yu shook his head and said, “I plan to pass the shop to Xiaocao.”
When Mrs. Wang heard this, her eyes darkened with anger, and she said, “That’s a girl, how much property do you want to give her!”
“Probably all of them.”
Shao Yu said the words in an understatement that made Wang’s blood pressure continue to rise.
“You are really crazy. Not only did you kill people and set fires, but now you are obsessed with that dead girl!” Mrs. Wang’s scolding became more and more fierce, and she even blurted out in an instant: “Split the family, let’s split the family!”
“How can the husband and wife split up.” Shao Yu said, and added: “If you really want to split, that is also called Heli1letter of peace (Heli).”
“Yes, Heli, I want to make Heli with you!” Mrs. Wang said loudly.
She was originally a little afraid of Shao Yu, but when she thought of her husband committing crimes outside, she was afraid that she and Dabao would be implicated, and she wanted to run as far away as possible.
“If we do Heli, what should we do with Dabao? Can we still find him?” Shao Yu asked again.
Mrs. Wang immediately said: “Of course you have to get him back. You promised me that you would get your son bacsai
Shao Yu had no choice but to ask: “Who will he follow when I find him?”
Mrs. Wang was about to say herself, but in this era, children always followed their father, and she was forty-five years old, so she could still get married again.
“Of course he will follow you, he is your son!” Mrs. Wang said confidently. She thought very clearly that she alone could not support Dabao.
After all, she is still Dabao’s biological mother. Even if Dabao is admitted to the imperial examination in the future, he will not disown her.
Mrs. Wang is just an ordinary low-class person, with no thoughts of keeping any moral integrity, and has no bad contact with the matter of remarriage. She even hopes that the sooner she can draw a clear line with Shao Yu, the better.
Shao Yu asked again: “Aren’t you afraid that Dabao will go to high school in the future and you won’t be able to enjoy the blessings of being a member of the family?”
Mrs. Wang immediately said proudly: “Dabao is my biological son, how could he deny his mother?”
“Are you really relieved that Dabao followed the father who committed a crime?” Shao Yu asked again.
Mrs. Wang immediately said: “Get him back and prepare some money for him. If you continue to escape, as long as you are not caught, Dabao will not be affected.”
Shao Yu suddenly laughed when he heard this and said, “His father committed a crime, can the son still take participate in the imperial examination?”
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang was stunned, and all the fire in her eyes went out, as if she had lost all hope in life in an instant.
Shao Yu continued: “You are a biological mother and son. If you care about him so much, you will definitely not mind that he cannot take the imperial examination.”
Mrs. Wang’s whole body suddenly exploded and said: “My son can’t take the imperial examination, what hope do I have?”
Shao Yu asked in surprise: “Do you really expect him to pass the examination?”
Mrs. Wang’s face stiffened.
Shao Yu continued: “With Dabao’s temperament, even if he is admitted, it will be a disaster. Maybe the imperial court’s Shang Fang sword will cut him down at some point.”
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she gave up all hope. She no longer had any nostalgia for this family, and said, “Heli, both children are yours!”
“That shop?” Shao Yu asked.
“It must be given to Dabao!” Although Mrs. Wang had no hope for Shao Dabao, her instinct for many years still led her to protect Shao Dabao for the last time.
“Everything other than the shop is given to Xiaocao?” Shao Yu asked again.P
Mrs. Wang thought that there was nothing valuable in the Shao family except the shop, so she said, “I’m too lazy to care about you!”
“Then what’s in your package?” Shao Yu glanced at the package in Mrs. Wang’s hand.
She immediately hugged the package tightly in her arms and said, “I have been working as a horse for your Shao family for so many years, what’s wrong with this little thing!”
Shao Yu had already expected this result, but he didn’t care about it, and asked again: “The money I gave you?”
Mrs. Wang immediately turned her back and said, “You killed people and robbed so much money, and you still want money from me?”
She tightly covered her purse, as if she was afraid that Shao Yu would come and snatch it from her.
Shao Yu would not do such a shameless thing, but asked: “You want to heli with me because I killed someone? What if I didn’t commit the crime?”
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang said without thinking: “If this thing hadn’t happened, I would have still heli2letter of peace (Heli) with you. You have pampered this girl to the sky all day long. Are you brainless?”
“Is it because I dote on my daughter too much?” Shao Yu asked again.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she did not answer directly, but said: “You spoil a girl so much, something will happen sooner or later!”
Shao Yu nodded and said, “Then I will write you a letter of He Li3letter of peace (Heli) to you right now.”
Wang was illiterate, so when He Li4letter of peace (Heli) was written, she didn’t even look at it, she just put her fingerprints on it. Holding the package containing all the valuables of the Shao family, as well as the money given by Shao Yu, she hurriedly walked out.
“Mother, where are you going?” Shao Xiaocao chased after her and asked.
Mrs. Wang, however, acted as if she hadn’t heard anything, and without even looking back, she continued to run out.
Shao Xiaocao stood there blankly, watching Wang’s back slowly disappear.
Shao Yu came out and said to her: “You go pack up your clothes, let’s go out together to find your brother.”
Although Shao Xiaocao was full of doubts, she turned around and did what her father said.
The little girl didn’t have many clothes, so the most stuff she put in her package was materials for making lanterns. Before she left home, she took one last look at the dilapidated shop where she had lived for more than ten years, and then got on the carriage prepared by Shao Yu at the door.
If Shao Yu traveled alone, it would be easy, but with his daughter, how could Shao Yu be willing to put her through hardships? While Shao Xiaocao was packing her clothes, he not only prepared the carriage, but also put a thick layer of clothes in the carriage.
The carriage left Qingzhou City and headed west, but not to the Canal Camp.
They walked on official roads all the way and rested in the post house when they were tired. Shao Xiaocao felt sorry for the money, but Shao Yu had no intention of being restrained in spending money. Shao Yu bought things for her that she had never played before.
Shao Xiaocao had never enjoyed it like this before, so the psychological burden was heavy along the way.
“Dad bought these things for you because he hopes you can enjoy the fun they bring, instead of watching you feel sad all the time because you worry about money.” Shao Yu said warmly.
Shao Xiaocao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, before she said, “I’m always afraid that my family has no money.”
“It’s okay, the family has money.” Shao Yu said.
With just such a sentence, Shao Xiaocao unconditionally believed it and stopped asking more questions.
Shao Yu thought for a while and added another warning: “The carriage is bumpy. Don’t put lanterns on the carriage. It can easily hurt your hands.”
After Shao Xiaocao relieved her psychological burden, she replied softly, and the whole person seemed to have become a lot lighter.
Five days after the carriage left Qingzhou, it arrived at a prefecture called Nanzhou. Just when Shao Xiaocao thought she had a rest and was going to continue on her way, Shao Yu rented a shop here.
The layout of this shop is somewhat similar to that of the Shao family’s old shop. The front is the shop for business, and the back is the house yard where people can live.
“There is also a shop at home, why come here to rent a shop?” Shao Xiaocao asked curiously.
Shao Yu replied: “For your brother.”
Shao Xiaocao felt confused when she heard it, but Shao Yu did not continue, so she obediently didn’t ask again.
The newly opened shop is not a simple lantern shop, but sells groceries. Shao Yu doesn’t seem to be particularly concerned about business. He greets business when business comes. He doesn’t care when business is deserted. Occasionally, if something happens, he will just close the shop for a day. If this happens, the business in the shop will naturally be bad.
Shao Xiaocao was very anxious at first, but after Shao Yu said it once, she didn’t care anymore.
