Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 2) Chapter 49.2: The Bitter Heroine (28)
Liu Cuifen was still muttering to herself until she left home.
When Aunt Zhang saw Liu Cuifen coming out, she went back to the house without thinking. It was obvious that what happened yesterday had hit her hard, and she probably didn’t want to deal with Liu Cuifen for a while.
After Shao Yu sent his family out of the alley, he turned back and saw Aunt Zhang dragging her eldest grandson after them, saying, “I feed you and clothe you, so what’s wrong with you teaching me to read, you damned child!”
After hearing this, her eldest grandson ran as fast as he could, pulling his school bag and almost bumping into Shao Yu.
When Aunt Zhang saw Shao Yu, she immediately stopped, as if the tug-of-war had not happened. Instead, she said in a way that sounded like a teaching: “Old Shao, your family can’t go on like this.”
“Why not? Now my wife and daughter are making a lot of money, and our life will get better and better.” Shao Yu said with a smile.
Zhang’s eyes darkened when she heard this, and she added, “That’s why it’s not okay. Think about it, the man stays at home to take care of the children, while the woman goes out to work. What do you call this?”
Shao Yu immediately replied: “This is called a fairy day.”
Zhang Ma was stunned when she heard this. She immediately looked at him with a look of disappointment and said, “This is called the inversion of yin and yang. If this continues for a long time, will you still have prestige in the family? Can you still make the decision? Who will be the head of the family at that time, you or your wife?”
“You don’t have to wait long. My wife is the one who makes the decision in our family now.” Shao Yu said without hesitation.
Zhang Ma was so stunned by this that her hands were shaking as she pointed at Shao Yu. In the end, she could only say, “What kind of man are you?”
Shao Yu automatically turned the curse words into a question and said, “You ask me what kind of man I am? I am the luckiest man in the world.”
After hearing this, Aunt Zhang was furious again and said, “Sister Cuifen knows a few words now, and she’s so proud of herself. Do you think she will still be interested in you in the future? I’m afraid she’ll run off with the foreigners in the western restaurant any day.”
“Even if she runs away with foreigners, it’s to learn foreign languages. She will never abandon me.” Shao Yu smiled like an honest man.
When Aunt Zhang heard the words “learn foreign languages”, she felt completely baffled.
Shao Yu added, “Zhang Ma, please stop talking nonsense. People in the alley think you are a big talker who talks nonsense and is not reliable at all. If you continue to talk, won’t you just confirm what they say?”
When Aunt Zhang heard that everyone had this image of her in their minds, she immediately asked, “Who? Who in the alley said that about me?”
Shao Yu smiled and said, “Everyone says so, but they didn’t say it to your face.”
Zhang Ma was so angry that she fell backwards, but she still said with her neck stiff, “I’m not the kind of person who gossips. I’ve always been law-abiding and never do such things.”
Shao Yu looked at her hesitantly and said, “You just came to tell me something that was trying to sow discord between us. Isn’t that gossiping? What is that? Is that consolidating our relationship?”
Zhang Ma cursed in her heart, but said on the surface: “I just said that casually. Anyway, if it were me, I would never let my man stay at home to look after the children while I go out to work.”
Upon hearing this, Shao Yu immediately said, “Is that so? That’s a pity.”
Aunt Zhang heard that he was speaking in an awkward tone and asked, “What a pity.”
“I originally had a job similar to the one in the Western restaurant, and I was planning to recommend it to you, Aunt Zhang. But since you don’t want to, forget it.” Shao Yu said with a smile. Although Aunt Zhang’s words were absolute, she was the kind of person who would swallow her words on the spot if she could get a good job. Her son and daughter-in-law were both useless, but they still had to raise three grandchildren. Now they all depended on the old man in the family to work outside. If she could get a job, it would be a lot easier. Aunt Zhang didn’t care about hitting herself on the face and hurriedly asked, “What kind of job is it? Where is the work? How much does it make a month?” “What kind of job? Two days off a week, work from nine in the morning to three in the afternoon every day, one month,Ten silver dollars.”
Aunt Zhang didn’t bother to ask why he made a “one” instead of a “ten”. She just asked, “Where is such a good job? Tell me quickly.”
Shao Yu looked at her in surprise and said, “Auntie Zhang, why are you asking so many questions? You don’t plan to go out to work anyway.”
“Come on, Lao Shao, we are all neighbors, just tell me.” Aunt Zhang pulled his sleeve and said.
Shao Yu immediately shook his head and said, “That won’t do. If you go out to work, won’t your family yin and yang be reversed? You earn more than Uncle Zhang, so how can he have any prestige in the family?”
All the words that Zhang Ma had said were now returned by Shao Yu.
She swallowed her anger and begged, “Old Shao, please be kind.”
“This won’t work. If you become proud, your husband Zhang will beat me to death.” Shao Yu shook his head, struggled to break free, and ran home.
Zhang Ma followed behind and kept shouting “Old Shao”.
She didn’t dare shout too much, for fear that others would hear it and take her job.
Shao Yu said, “You are pulling me like this, aren’t you afraid of being gossiped about?”
Shao Yu reminded her of the difference between men and women, and Zhang’s mother immediately retracted her hand and said through gritted teeth, “Let Lao Zhang come to drink with you tonight.”
“No, my wife and daughter don’t like me drinking.” Shao Yu blocked her with just one sentence.
Aunt Zhang added, “Then let my old Zhang treat you to a meal.”
Shao Yu didn’t answer and hurried back into the house.
