Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 33.3: The Prodigal Son (68)

Shao Dabao continued: “In such an alley, people bring guys with them. As long as you run away first, you can only think about catching the bad guys.”

 

“But brother, you didn’t run away this time.” Shao Xiaocao said.

 

“I can’t help it either.” Shao Dabao glanced at Lu Yun’er.

 

Lu Yun’er immediately lowered her head when she recalled the phrase “wife” blurted out by Shao Dabao at that time.

 

Shao Dabao followed the officers to the yamen, the child’s condition stabilized, and the parents who lost the child also came over.

 

This parent is dressed up, obviously extremely rich, but it is exactly the same as Shao Dabao’s guess.

 

“Thank God, the child is fine.”

 

The child’s father is a wealthy businessman in Nancheng. He has been waiting for this child for many years. However, due to the negligence of his servants, the human traffickers had the opportunity to take advantage of him. Now that the child has been found, the wealthy businessman thanked Shao Dabao again and again, and even took out five hundred taels of silver bills on the spot to thank Shao Dabao.

 

The bright silver bill swayed in front of Shao Dabao, and Shao Dabao’s heart also swayed.

 

But Lu Yun’er was right beside him. After a very intense struggle, Shao Dabao smiled reluctantly and said, “I can’t accept this money. ”

Shao Dabao refused, but the rich businessman was a little reluctant and said, “You have done such a great kindness to my family, you must accept the money.”

 

Every time the silver note swayed beside Shao Dabao, his inner struggle became more and more fierce, but when he thought of Lu Yun’er beside him, he knew what was most important to him.

 

“You are too polite. My original intention was not to save your son. This was all unintentional. “Shao Dabao said, while enduring the heartache in his heart.

 

He can only tell himself thousands of times that in front of his future wife, he must not lose his share because of money, and think that Shao Yu said that ill-gotten wealth cannot be obtained, he can only continue to brainwash himself.

 

“I can’t take it. This is not what I deserve.” Shao Dabao refused, not daring to look at the banknote, fearing that he would waver.

“Why not?” Shao Yu’s voice suddenly rang.

 

Shao Yu and Dr. Lu went to the yamen together. Dr. Lu already knew the cause and effect. Thinking of Shao Dabao’s return to save his daughter, he looked at Shao Dabao with a rare gentleness.

 

“Dad, are you mocking me?” Shao Dabao asked hesitantly.

 

Shao Yu usually spoke to him in a sarcastic tone, so Shao Dabao was also very nervous at this time, but he soon thought that there was nothing wrong with what he did today, and his back straightened a little.

 

Shao Yu shook his head and asked, “Why do you think this is not what you deserve?”

In front of the wealthy businessman, Shao Dabao explained in a low voice, “When I knew they were human traffickers, I didn’t even think about saving the children, I just wanted to save Yun’er.”

 

In front of Shao Yu, Shao Dabao seemed to have opened a layer of honesty buff, and did not dare to hide anything at all.

 

“Having said that, you did delay the trafficker’s footsteps, so that the officers could arrive in time to save the child, whether you did it intentionally or not, you are the child’s benefactor.”

 

The rich businessman didn’t get angry after knowing the cause and effect, but said: “Yes, you are my son’s benefactor, all of you.”

 

After he finished speaking, the wealthy businessman took out a bunch of silver notes and distributed them to Amao, Shao Xiaocao and others, and even the arresting team also got.

“But shouldn’t you ask for nothing in return for doing good deeds?” Shao Dabao asked in surprise.

 

“If everyone does good deeds without any reward, will others be willing to do good deeds in the future?” Shao Yu asked.

 

Shao Dabao was stunned when he heard this.

 

“You can’t take anything you shouldn’t take, but it’s not a bad thing to take what you should take.” Shao Yu said.

 

Shao Dabao was silent for a long time, and finally seemed to have figured it out. He drew a hundred taels from the pile of silver notes and said, “Although I helped you, I feel that I one hundred taels is enough for what I did.”

Amao and Shao Xiaocao didn’t want to take the money at first, but they followed Shao Dabao’s example and only took a hundred taels.

 

After taking the money, Shao Dabao did not hold it in his hand, but handed it over to Lu Yun’er, saying, “My wife manages the accounts.”

 

Lu Yun’er blushed, but did not refuse at all, and took the money directly. However, Dr. Lu on the side could not help but glare at his daughter because of her unrestrained behavior.

 

After the government’s publicity, this case of trafficking during the Lantern Festival spread in Nancheng for several days. On the one hand, people denounced the shamelessness of the traffickers, and on the other hand, they were jealous of Shao Dabao and others for taking the money.

 

Such a generous reward for helping others made the folk customs of Nancheng very simple for a long time. Because of this incident, the people of Nancheng cracked down on the traffickers unprecedentedly, and they really caught several traffickers.

 

The fight against human traffickers in Nancheng has become a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation, and even has a reputation, which has led to a long period of time, human traffickers from other places are walking around Nancheng, but all these are later.

 

Shao Dabao suddenly got a hundred taels of silver, but his life didn’t change much. Maybe because the money was not in his hands, he even felt that the money was not earned sometimes.

 

“You are not too young, there are some things I should tell you.” Shao Yu looked serious.

 

The audience at the bottom is four juniors: Ah Mao, Shao Dabao, Shao Xiaocao and Lu Yun’er.

 

Lu Yun’er looked at her future father-in-law who looked so serious, and thought of what happened at that time.

 

“You have a sum of money on hand, how do you plan to deal with it?” Shao Yu asked.

 

Shao Xiaocao and Amao immediately took out the money. The two of them had the same idea and planned to hand it over to Shao Yu.

 

“I was supported by my father at home, and I can finally repay him.” Shao Xiaocao said with a smile, without any intention of hiding it, and Amao nodded beside her.

 

Seeing the two of them act like this, Lu Yun’er also took out the money and handed it to Shao Yu together with her share of one hundred taels, saying: “Uncle Shao, my money you take it too.”

 

But Shao Yu didn’t answer any of them, and said, “I’m not asking you for money, but I want to hear your plans, and help you to have a look.”

 

“I’ll let my wife take care of it.” Shao Dabao was the first to speak.

 

Shao Xiaocao and Amao seemed a little confused. Obviously, they never really thought about the specific use of the money.

 

Lu Yun’er, who obviously thought about this issue, said, “I want to use this money to open a grocery store for Brother Dabao.”
