Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 26.2: The Prodigal Son (51)
Shao Dabao opened his mouth, but still did not shout.
He still felt resentful about Amao’s existence, as if this person had taken away his identity, occupied the favor that should have been his, read the books he should have read, and might live the life he might have in the future.
The look of anticipation in Amao’s eyes gradually disappeared.
Shao Yu looked at his eldest son and said, “You are kind and treat others well without asking for anything in return. But if you don’t ask for anything in return, you really won’t get anything in return.”
Amao heard this and said, “But dad doesn’t expect anything in return from me.”
“Who said I don’t ask for anything in return from you?” Shao Yu asked.
Amao was stunned.
Shao Yu continued: “I will do my best to support you, and I hope you can repay me by becoming a talented person and benefiting others.”
Amao was a little beggar not long ago and didn’t really have many plans for his life. Shao Yu’s words at this time seemed to plant a seed in his heart.
Shao Yu looked at Shao Xiaocao aside and said, “I also want your reward.”
Shao Xiaocao’s expression also became serious.
Shao Yu said: “I want to watch you live the life you want to live. If you are still unhappy despite my full support, then you are an unfilial daughter.”
Shao Xiaocao’s nose felt sore.
Shao Dabao said immediately on the side: “Father, what about me?”
Shao Yu’s expression suddenly became heavy, and he said angrily: “I spent so much money and energy on you, and all my family wealth has been wiped out by you. If you dare to be unfilial in the future, I will break your legs directly.”
Shao Dabao:…
Shao Yu sometimes thought that if the kindness of the other two children could be distributed evenly to Shao Dabao, and Shao Dabao’s shamelessness could be distributed evenly to these two, it would be almost perfect.
“It is not a shame to ask for something from others. If one party is always helping the other without a bottom line, the relationship will become unbalanced sooner or later. And if you help him, he will help you again, and there will be back and forth. That’s the right way.” Shao Yu reminded Amao.
Shao Yu has been laying the groundwork for so long. Amao knew that he could not hold back his adoptive father, so he looked at Shao Dabao and said, “I’m waiting for you to call me.”
Shao Dabao understood that he was asking for something in return, and Shao Xiaocao on the side also stared at him with burning eyes.
Shao Dabao felt like he couldn’t open his mouth, but he really hoped that Shao Yu could teach him. After mentally building himself up countless times, he finally looked at the three of them: “Big… Big Brother.”
Once he opened his mouth, everything seemed to become easier. Shao Dabao suddenly felt that it was not that difficult to say the word “big brother”.
Instinctively, he began to calculate the gains and losses in his heart. Just calling him a big brother would be able to exchange for Shao Yu’s help. It seemed that he was not at a loss.
For a moment, Shao Dabao couldn’t figure out whether it was because of this sound. He even felt that Amao had really become his big brother.
“He saved your life and took care of you for so long. What should you do?” Shao Yu felt like he was teaching a child.
The corner of Shao Dabao’s mouth twitched. He didn’t expect his own father to be so vindictive, and things that happened after so long would be revealed.
“Thank you for taking care of me, big brother.” Shao Dabao said, and saying this, just like the word “big brother”, it didn’t seem that difficult.
“What did you do to repay the kindness at the teahouse outside the city?” Shao Yu asked.
“Brother, I’m sorry, I’m not sensible.” Shao Dabao’s speech became more and more smooth.
When he was begging outside, Amao had taken care of Dabao for so long without thinking about Dabao’s return. When he heard this thank you, Amao immediately understood that Shao Dabao’s previous kindness and revenge had left traces in his heart. In fact, he had not completely let go.
But at this time, because of Shao Yu’s old score, Amao suddenly felt that nothing mattered anymore. He already had the best adoptive father, an ignorant younger brother, so he could teach him slowly.
“In business and as a person, you must understand that benefiting others is benefiting yourself, but similarly, you cannot lose the rewards you deserve. People in the world seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If others are beneficial to you, they will naturally become closer to you.” Shao Yu said.
Shao Dabao immediately said: “Don’t worry, Dad, I will never forget to repay you.”
“If you answer wrong, you will get a deduction.” Shao Yu said.
Shao Dabao:…
Shao Dabao felt that he was just listening to a class, but suddenly it became a final exam.
Shao Yu looked at the three children and said: “The key point is to be rewarding and benefit others at the same time. This is a win-win situation and allows everything to develop on a stable path.”
Of the three children, two wanted nothing in return and one only wanted something in return, so Shao Yu simply taught them together.
“The east is rich and the south is poor. Will you charge the same price for the same things in the east and south of the city?” Shao Yu asked.
Shao Dabao thought this answer was obvious, but seeing Shao Yu’s expression, he suddenly felt a little uncertain in his heart, so he looked at the two people beside him.
Amao said without any thought: “A gentleman treats others with sincerity and should treat them equally.”
Shao Xiaocao: “Brother is right.”
When Shao Dabao heard this, he felt that these two people had always been so idealistic. He opened his mouth to speak, but was frightened by Shao Yu again.
“You think clearly before you speak. If they answer incorrectly, there will be no penalty. If you answer incorrectly, the strokes will be deducted.” Shao Yu threatened casually.
Shao Dabao:…
