Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 40.5: The Prodigal Son (End)

General Liu was a military man, and he didn’t have so many views on family status. Because he felt that Shao Yu was to his liking and was truly grateful to Shao Yu, he came up with such a good idea of ​​turning two families into one.

 

A Mao on the side heard this, and immediately said: “Xiaocao is a younger sister, how can I marry her, this is unreasonable…”

 

“What’s wrong with this? They are not siblings. As long as the two children live well, why should we care about other people’s gossips?” The general said very proudly.

 

A Mao was stunned when he heard this. Shao Xiaocao was the woman he had the most contact with. When he thought of marrying her, A Mao’s ears slowly turned red.

 

The general saw that Shao Yu did not speak, and said: “Brother Shao, you are not the kind of person who cares about the opinions of others, we are all people who know the bottom line, this is such a good marriage, right?”

 

After speaking, he looked at Shao Yu eagerly, as if afraid that he would say something to refuse.

 

“I only have these children, I naturally hope that their marriage will go smoothly, but this is a lifelong event after all, and we can’t just let the elders have the final say, we still have to listen to the children’s ideas.” Shao Yu said.

 

General Liu heard the words, but it is not easy to force.

 

On the side of Ah Mao, a seed was planted in his heart.

 

The recognition of relatives went extremely smoothly. Shao Yu took Shao Dabao around Beijing and bought a lot of goods at low prices.

Under such precepts and deeds, Shao Dabao made rapid progress.

 

Not long after returning from Beijing to Nanzhou City, Lu Yun’er became pregnant and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl ten months later. When his granddaughter was two years old, Shao Yu stopped taking care of business affairs. The grocery store at home was also handed over to Shao Dabao.

 

And the three-story building near the prefectural school, with the expansion of each year, more and more types of businesses settled in, so the whole building is like a super large grocery store.

 

Backed by the school, the western suburbs are getting better and better, and the business here is getting better and better. It has become a well-known shopping mecca, and the merchants of Nanzhou City are proud to settle here.

 

When Shao Yu’s granddaughter was five years old, Lu Yun’er gave birth to another baby boy. At Shao Dabao’s insistence, the baby boy took the surname Lu.

It was also this year that after A Mao imperial examination was elected, he married Shao Xiaocao, a 22-year-old “older” girl in the eyes of the world.

 

Shao Xiaocao didn’t pick and choose in these years, but she was full of thoughts about making lanterns. Because she lived comfortably with Shao Yu, she never thought about getting married.

 

Shao Yu is also happy to raise his own girl, but A Mao, who seems to be enlightened in recent years, frequently courtes Shao Xiaocao, and finally experienced some twists and turns, the two finally determined each other’s minds.

 

In the third year after their marriage, Ah Mao won the first place in the imperial examination. He had studied for less than ten years and achieved such results, which became a good story in the capital.

 

The general’s mansion had a simple population. After getting married, Shao Xiaocao still devoted herself to making her own lanterns. Because of this “unprofessional” in the eyes of the world, she was subject to many rumors. However, with the Queen Mother’s birthday, Shao Xiaocao’s prayer lamp was shining brightly, and these words disappeared.

Her lanterns began to be sought after by the dignitaries in Beijing, because her lanterns were made with great care, and each one was like a work of art. Therefore, everyone in the capital was proud to get her lanterns, and they even became hard currency for interpersonal relations in the capital.

 

The longer the days go, the less Shao Yu has to worry about. Every day, he only needs to enjoy his grandchildren and have plenty of time to do what he likes.

 

Since Shao Dabao married a wife, he has become more and more stable. Although there are occasional problems in business, he has always been cautious in his life. According to Shao Yu’s teaching, he dare not do anything to pursue interests without being compelled by human things.

 

By doing business like this, he actually gave up a lot of profits that could be obtained, but relying on such concessions, when Shao Yu closed his eyes, Shao Dabao became a well-known philanthropist in Nanzhou City.

 

As for his mother Wang, Shao Dabao really used 500 wen to support her for a lifetime, and Lao He, as early as the time when Shao’s family went to the capital to play, because he didn’t pay the gambling debts, He was chased by the casino to Nanzhou City and his hands and legs were chopped off.

The old man without limbs was disliked by Wang and eventually died in a cold winter.

 

Although Wang has Shao Dabao’s 500 wen support, but the actual amount of money she actually gets every month is only a few pennies. If she is satisfied with this, life can go on, but she went to find another husband.

 

But Wang seemed to always meet the wrong person. This time, the person she met was not a good person. As a result, Wang had to do hard and heavy work at an old age. Her health was so bad that she could not be cured by medicine. She passed away within a few years.

 

The Shao family is not short of money, so he also put a lot of effort into training the youngest son of Mrs Wang. When he grows up, he will also fully inform him of his life experience. This child has been in the Shao family for many years and did not grow crooked, only taking Shao Yu as his biological father as filial piety.

 

Shao Yu lived until he was ninety years old before he closed his eyes. When he passed away, the house was full of filial sons and grandchildren.

When Shao Yu opened his eyes again, there was an unpainted earth wall in front of him.

 

“Husband, Da Ya gave birth to a daughter again!”

 

Hearing this, Shao Yu looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was a woman with a sallow face. The woman’s eyes were full of shame, as if she had done something unforgivable.
