Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 2) Chapter 49.4: The Bitter Heroine (30)
“You guys don’t say anything good about her. Did you go there to enjoy the feast or to cause trouble for her? If you had said less gossip in the past, things wouldn’t have turned out like this today.” Shao Yu said angrily. Everyone fell silent immediately. If Miss Liu was afraid that they would gossip at the banquet and ruin her reputation in her husband’s family, that made sense.
Even so, they still blamed Miss Liu for being too ruthless in their hearts.
“Miss Liu is gone, is there anything left in her house?” someone asked.
Shao Yu shook Miss Liu’s key in his hand and said, “Miss Liu asked my family to pick the first one, and when my family picks first, the neighbors can take whatever they want.”
Everyone was envious and jealous of the Shao family for a while, but at this time they still hoped that Shao Yu would have some extra things left, so they did not dare to offend Shao Yu.
Shao Yu returned to the yard, placed the two children in a homemade stroller, held the eldest girl’s hand, and then the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren walked out.
Every day, Shao Yu would take his three grandchildren to the nearby park for a walk. As a result, the neighbors were used to his going out and kept reminding him: “Old Shao, when you have finished choosing, don’t forget to notify us.”
They gave earnest instructions, fearing that Shao Yu will forget about their family, and Shao Yu nodded in response.
He took the children out of the alley and turned toward the roadside. Not far away, they saw a park.
Shao Yu put the children on the lawn and sat on an outdoor bench not far away, watching the children with a smile on his face.
A young man dressed in a black trench coat and a black hat hurriedly walked towards Shao Yu.
At this time, there were many old women taking care of children, but very few old men taking care of children, so the young man couldn’t help but take another look.
Shao Yu ignored the young man and watched from the corner of his eye as he sat on the long chair next to him.
After the young man sat down, he did nothing but play with a key in his hand. Soon, he dropped the key under the bench.
Then, the young man squatted down very naturally and started searching on the grass under the bench.
A minute later, the young man stood up and walked away very naturally, as if he really came here to get some fresh air.
Shao Yu sat on the bench and waited until the gazes on him disappeared. Then he stood up and went to the bench where the young man had just sat. With just one glance, he could see that the ground under the bench had been turned over.
After Shao Yu confirmed that he had seen the information he wanted, he stood up, walked towards the three children, and said, “Big girl, it’s time to go back.”
Then, they returned along the original route.
In the evening, when Mr. Zhang just returned home and had not even had time to drink a sip of water, he was pushed by Zhang’s mother to knock on Shao Yu’s door.
“Ten silver dollars a month, this is a good job, don’t lose it. Be generous, treat guests when you should, don’t be stingy.” Aunt Zhang earnestly advised.
Old Zhang naturally knew that this matter was very important, so he immediately went to knock on Shao Yu’s door.
Shao Yu only saw Lao Zhang for a moment and said, “When I was taking a walk today, that family said they didn’t need to hire anyone anymore. If you still want to find a job, I saw a family on the street hiring a maid.”
Compared with a job that pays well, has little work and is close to home, how could Zhang Ma still want to be a maid? She was immediately reluctant. But Old Zhang didn’t care about that. He knew that his family couldn’t support his two grandsons’ education by working alone, so he directly helped Zhang Ma to accept the job as a maid. After Zhang’s mother found out about this, she had a big fight with Lao Zhang, but she still accepted the job. After hearing it, the mother and daughter were first concerned about Miss Liu’s whereabouts.
Shao Yu shook his head.
Seeing this, Liu Cuifen felt sorry, but could only say: “Such a good girl will definitely marry into a good family.”
Shao Yu thought about the face he had seen. Although he knew that Miss Liu would most likely end up badly, he still agreed.
Shao Yingniang came close to Shao Yu and said, “Dad, our manager thanked you today. If it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t have known there were so many mistakes on the English on the menu.”
Shao Yu smiled.
Shao Yingniang took out another well-wrapped cake and said, “This is what the manager asked me to give to you.”
Shao Yu took it, and A Liang, who had just returned from selling cigarettes, saw the cake and immediately exclaimed, “Cake, I want to eat cake!”
Although he said this, he did not move his hands. Instead, he looked at Shao Yu with expectant eyes.
Shao Yu asked again: “How are the cigarettes selling today?”
Ah Liang said, “I had good business today. I sold a lot. I also saw Miss Liu in the theater. She even bought a pack of cigarettes from us.”Shao Yu nodded. Aliang picked up the cigarette box and shook it, intending to show off to Shao Yu, but suddenly something wrapped in brown paper fell out of it. “What is this? I don’t remember when I took this thing.” Aliang was very surprised. Shao Yu picked up the thing from the ground, opened the tightly folded brown paper, and found a key inside. The key was only the size of a little finger, with a silvery sheen. It looked very new and was obviously rarely used. “Where did the key come from? This is strange.” Aliang was completely confused. Shao Yu asked again: “Did Miss Liu smoke before?” Aliang shook his head and said, “Ms. Liu doesn’t smoke, but her fiancé does.”
“So what kind of cigarettes did she buy this time?” As if afraid that his question was too obvious, Shao Yu asked again: “Did you give her a discount?”
