BHBF Chapter 49.1

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 2) Chapter 49.1: The Bitter Heroine (27)

Shao Yu didn’t know what Liu Cuifen said to Zhang Ma, but when she came back, she was in high spirits and full of fighting spirit, just like a rooster returning from a victory.

After coaxing her child to sleep at night, Shao Yingniang did not rest, but sat down, took out the menu, and recited it quietly in the living room.

When Shao Yu saw this, he also walked over.

“Dad, did I disturb you?” Shao Yingniang asked softly.

Shao Yu shook his head and took the menu from her.

After flipping through it in his hand, Shao Yu frowned slightly.

“Dad, did I recite something wrong?” Shao Yingniang asked after observing his expression.

Shao Yu shook his head and said, “It’s not you who is wrong, it’s the menu that is wrong.”

Shao Yingniang was stunned when she heard this, and immediately asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Many of these English words are wrong,” Shao Yu said.

In this menu, each dish is written in two ways, one in Chinese and one in English. The Chinese part is normal, but the English part has many errors.

Shao Yingniang asked hesitantly, “Does Dad know English?”

It’s not that she didn’t trust Shao Yu, but Shao Yu and English seemed to have nothing in common.

Shao Yu smiled and said, “There used to be a missionary at the dock, and I occasionally learned a little from him.”

Shao Yingniang didn’t want any conclusive evidence. After listening to Shao Yu’s explanation, she believed it immediately. She also believed in the fantasy that one could correct the restaurant’s mistakes after learning from missionaries for a few days.

Shao Yu pointed at the menu, pointed out all the mistakes, and wrote them down carefully on a piece of paper beside him.

Shao Yingniang nodded and asked, “Daddy, can you teach me English?”

Shao Yu never denies those who love to learn.

Liu Cuifen, who had been planning to take a break, heard the noise and saw that someone was learning English outside. She quickly ran over with a pen and paper, muttering, “Why didn’t you call me to study?”

During the last year, they learned to read and write. It was Aliang who taught them, but it was actually Shao Yu who controlled the pace.

Aliang is a little kid and often loses his patience, but Shao Yu is there to guide him. Compared to Shao Yingniang, Liu Cuifen is not as eager to learn to read, so she occasionally wants to give up.

But every time, Shao Yu was able to coax her back, and in fact, while coaxing her, he completely aroused Liu Cuifen’s desire to learn.

It is precisely because of Shao Yu’s secret guidance that the Shao family’s primary school has been doing very well. So now when she saw Shao Yu teaching her daughter English, she joined directly without even asking Shao Yu why he knew English.

Apart from Ah Liang who was still selling cigarettes outside, Shao Primary School opened again.

Shao Yu only taught 26 English letters throughout the night, but the mother and daughter were very serious about learning. Until bedtime, Shao Yu could hear Liu Cuifen repeating those words over and over again.

“The foreign language you mentioned sounds strange and is not easy to learn,” Liu Cuifen said in a low voice.

Shao Yu replied in a gentle voice: “If it’s not easy to learn, just learn slowly. Didn’t Aliang teach you a saying before? It’s ‘You never stop learning’.”

Liu Cuifen received a lot of positive feedback on her studies, such as praise and recognition from her family and a job in the restaurant, so she has always been concerned about this matter. She said, “When I get into the coffin, I don’t know how much knowledge I will have. I don’t know if I can have half of the knowledge of the old scholar in the village.”

The old scholar in the village is very old, but he is always thinking about the previous dynasty. He always faces everyone in the village with a very arrogant attitude. It is precisely because of this that Liu Cuifen always thinks that the other party is the most knowledgeable person she knows.

“The old scholar doesn’t understand foreign languages, and you are starting to learn them now. You will definitely be better than him in the future.” Shao Yu said. Liu Cuifen shook her head and said, “How can I, a woman, suppress him?” “What happened to a woman?” Shao Yu asked. Liu Cuifen heard: “Huh?” Shao Yu continued, “Who is supporting our family now?” Liu Cuifen pointed at Shao Yu. Shao Yu immediately said, “That was in the past. Now I am at home taking care of the children. I am a gigolo. I still have to rely on you two to make money outside.”

After hearing this, Liu Cuifen immediately understood, nodded, and said, “It seems to be true.”

Shao Yu continued, “You can support your family and earn money, are you worse than others?”

Liu Cuifen immediately straightened her back and said, “Of course I am no worse than others.”

“That’s right, what’s wrong with being a woman? If others laugh at you like this, just fight back like this! In ancient times, Hua Mulan joined the army for her father, and today, Liu Cuifen supports the family for her husband. You are the pillar of our Shao family. Remember, you are no worse than men!” Shao Yu was like a hypnotist, constantly brainwashing Liu Cuifen.

Liu Cuifen was also inspired by her husband’s recognition and even wanted to get up and recite the alphabet again on the spot.

Shao Yu continued, “What is the old scholar compared to you? You are eager to learn, but your head is full of eight-part essays and he is unwilling to take a look at the new world outside. You are making progress, but he is complacent. Based on this, you are much better than him.”

Just like that, Liu Cuifen fell asleep happily with Shao Yu’s approval.

When Shao Yingniang woke up the next morning, she had just finished washing up and was still a little sleepy, but Liu Cuifen had already rushed over and asked, “Recite the foreign letters. Now let’s recite to each other. Let’s start!”

Shao Yingniang was still confused, but she was already being led by her mother to recite foreign letters. She was even scolded by her mother for forgetting the words.

“Husband, teach me something else. I’ll take some time to recite it while I’m at work today.”

Liu Cuifen was so eager to learn at this time, Shao Yu naturally would not lag behind. Seeing that she had memorized the alphabet, Shao Yu taught her two simple words.
