Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 29.1: The Prodigal Son (55)
Shao Dabao didn’t expect that his first reaction would be: “Is my family still poor? We eat so well every day!”
Shao Yu smiled awkwardly when he heard this and said, “I was wrong. The family is not poor.”
Shao Dabao breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.
Shao Yu continued: “It’s just that I’m not willing to spend too much money on your funeral.”
Shao Dabao felt a heartache. At the critical moment of life and death, he was brave for once. He put down the cake in his hand and said unhappily: “Since I might be dead if I eat , I won’t eat it.”
“It’s relatively easy to eat yourself to death.” Shao Yu said suddenly.
Shao Dabao immediately said: “Dad, do want me to die to be happy?”
Shao Yu shook his head and said: “If you eat yourself to death, it will be a big deal. After you die, you don’t have to worry about anything.”
Shao Dabao shook his head like a rattle and said, “Dad, I really don’t want to die.”
Shao Yu chuckled and said, “If you don’t want to die, do others want to die?”
Shao Dabao was stunned when he heard this.
Shao Yu went on to say: “You want to take these pastries, what exactly are you doing, you and I both know very well, selling things that may be moldy to others, you don’t take other people’s lives as It’s one thing, and it’s hard for me to take your life seriously.”
Shao Dabao was speechless.
Shao Yu continued: “People who come to you and ask for money are easy. If you meet someone who is more ruthless, they will stab you one at a time until you die thousands of times.”
Shao Yu knew very well that it was useless to deal with people like Shao Dabao by saying that his whole family was dead. He could only shock him by describing his fate as miserable as possible.
“Ling Chi, you may have never seen it. A knife was scraped on your body, and the flesh fell off piece by piece. Thousands of pieces were scraped off. You may still be breathing, you can still see blood in your eyes, and you can still open your mouth to talk…”
Shao Yu used the way of telling ghost stories to describe Ling Chi to Shao Dabao, which actually made the unfortunate child break into a cold sweat behind his back.
Shao Dabao even had nightmares for two days because what Shao Yu said was so terrifying.
In this way, the immoral thoughts in his heart were completely dispelled.
Shao Xiaocao concentrated on studying her lantern, and Amao also seized the opportunity to study, studying hard all day long without slacking off.
These two children did not need to be particularly worried, so Shao Yu spent most of his time staring at Shao Dabao.
Shao Dabao has Shao Yu’s intimidation, coupled with scruples, so the salesman’s business has gradually been on the right track, and even for several months, he has not made any more mistakes.
Shao Dabao’s original one cargo box became two as his business expanded.
He is no longer the useless person he used to be that he couldn’t carry on his shoulders. Now he can walk quickly in the alley carrying two cargo boxes.
On this day, not far after Shao Dabao went out, he was blocked by someone.
“Brother Dabao, does your shop have any new styles of hair flowers recently?” Lu Yun’er asked with a smile.
The girl is seventeen years old this year, which is when she is at her most vivid. With this smile, Shao Dabao felt dizzy in front of his eyes.
But he quickly stopped the messy thoughts in his mind, lowered his head and said in a low voice: “The shop has a new batch.”
“How about you bring it over tomorrow for me to choose from?” Lu Yun’er asked delicately.
Shao Dabao was surprised and said: “My shop is close, you can just pick it out yourself. My father won’t charge you more money, so why did you ask me to send it over?”
The Shao family’s grocery store was only a hundred meters away from the girl at this time, and the two families had a good relationship. If the girl went to buy it, it would be possible for Shao Yu to give it to her for free, so why let him change hands once?
“You can bring it to me, Brother Dabao.” The girl said cutely.
Although the girl was beautiful and charming, Shao Dabao did not dare to have other thoughts for someone who had not saved up enough betrothal gifts, so he was extremely clear-headed at this time.
Shao Dabao is being watched closely by Shao Yu. If Shao Yu learns that he has made money from Lu Yun’er, he will probably be dealt with by Shao Yu again. Shao Dabao cannot accept Lu Yun’er’s deposit and will have to make a special trip tomorrow. It would be extremely uneconomical to take the trip to deliver it to her. It would not only waste time, but also risk incurring many unnecessary costs.
When he thought about wasting time and not making money, Shao Dabao felt that this was a thankless task and was completely delaying his business.
Shao Dabao had an account in his mind. If he was delayed in doing business, it would be delayed in saving money. If he was slow to save money, he would have to postpone marrying a wife.
After Shao Dabao thought of such horrific consequences, no matter how beautiful the girl’s smile was at this moment, it still frightened Shao Dabao, and he immediately said decisively: “No, I don’t have time.”
After saying that, Shao Dabao picked up the cargo box and ran away, not daring to stay any longer.
Lu Yun’er, who was behind him, couldn’t help but stamp her feet when she saw his fleeing back, and said angrily: “What an ignorant piece of wood!”
Seeing this scene, a second-rate person on the side couldn’t help but get closer and said, “Sister wants a new head flower, brother will buy it for you, go to the biggest shop, why should you expect this smelly salesman.”
“Who allowed you to scold him? You are the stinking hooligan!” After Lu Yun’er finished scolding him, she ignored the man and turned directly into the backyard of her medical clinic.
In the evening, when Shao Dabao came home and talked about it, he was still afraid and said to Shao Yu: “Fortunately, I was smart enough to push this order, otherwise I don’t know how much things would have been delayed.”
Amao is not yet enlightened.
But Shao Yu and Shao Xiaocao couldn’t hold back when they heard the cause and effect, and Shao Xiaocao laughed so much that she almost couldn’t hold the bowl.
“What’s so funny about this? You girls are the slowest in picking things. I rarely have time to do business. If she delays me like this, I don’t know how much money I will lose. Don’t I need to save up for the betrothal gift?” Shao Dabao was more and more confused. The more I say it, the more I feel that I am doing the right thing.
“Brother, you don’t know…”
Before Shao Xiaocao finished speaking, Shao Yu stopped her and said, “People don’t mention this kind of thing, so don’t say anything more.”
Although Lu Yun’er’s thoughts were very obvious, Shao Dabao should have understood this matter himself. If someone else raised it, it would hurt the girl’s face, so Shao Yu was unwilling to let Shao Xiaocao speak out.
After all, Shao Dabao had a criminal record, and Shao Yu also wanted to observe it again, and was unwilling to rashly harm the girl for the rest of her life.
Shao Dabao had no idea what his father and sister were talking about. At this moment, his heart was filled with the braised pork in front of him.
