Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 5.3: The Prodigal Son (12)

 

Shao Xiaocao wanted to take a look, Shao Yu said: “That scene is not good, girls can’t watch it .”

 

He immediately stopped his daughter.

 

Mrs. Wang cried and ran out to see him. When she walked to the door and saw the blood on her son’s hand, she immediately collapsed to the ground, clutching her chest and crying: “God! What a sin!”

 

Shao Yu looked at her coldly and said, “If you continue to indulge him, then you will just wait until all his fingers and toes are chopped off.”

Although the original person is completely obedient to his son, he still understands the importance. If Shao Dabao wants to defraud the original person of money, he still needs to do it in the name of studying.

 

But Shao Dabao didn’t even need a reason when asking Wang for money. Even knowing that her son was going to gamble, she wouldn’t stop him.

 

His father was confused and his mother was indulging, so he was raised a complete bastard.

 

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang did not reflect at all. Instead, she cried and said, “You have harmed your own son. No one will care for you in the future!”

 

“Do you really expect Shao Dabao to provide for you in your old age?” Shao Yu asked back.

 

Wang choked again. Shao Yu had already discussed this issue with her. She knew in her heart that she couldn’t count on Shao Dabao, but she still couldn’t control herself.

Unable to quarrel with Shao Yu, Wang simply ran out the door angrily.

 

His own son was missing a finger, but Shao Yu didn’t even look at it. Instead, he picked up a lantern frame on the ground and started to smear it.

 

Seeing this situation, Shao Xiaocao looked at her mother who was far away, then at her father who started to work, and finally came to Shao Yu’s side. : “Dad, your neck hurts, let me do it.”

 

He had been suffering from neck pain for a long time, but his son Shao Dabao had never noticed it. Shao Xiaocao, on the other hand, kept all the physical problems of her parents In mind and silently helped.

 

Shao Yu shook his head and said, “The more it hurts, the more you have to move.”

Shao Xiaocao stopped blocking when she heard the words, but ran to Shao Yu’s side, and also picked up the bamboo sticks and planned to work.

 

For a poor family, if something big happens, they still have to work.

 

But when Shao Yu looked at her wedding dress sent by the Zhang family, he felt it was particularly annoying and said, “You change your clothes.”

 

Shao Xiaocao did not have any entanglement after hearing this, and quickly changed into her own clothes.

 

Almost all the money of the Shao family was spent on Shao Dabao, and the remaining three people were all scrimping on food and clothing. The old clothes that Shao Xiaocao was wearing now were made from Wang’s clothes. They did not fit well and were very old. Shao Yu frowned.

But he still didn’t say anything.

 

Although Shao Xiaocao had greatly changed her view of her father after today’s experience, the natural lack of closeness between father and daughter made the two of them seem very unfamiliar when they were alone.

 

Shao Xiaocao really wanted to say something to her father, and she also wanted to imitate the little girls she saw on the street, who naturally acted coquettishly towards their father, but when her words came to her lips, she didn’t say anything.

 

Shao Yu suddenly tilted towards her, and Shao Xiaocao froze in fright, but she saw her father take the bamboo stick in her hand.

 

“The burrs on this piece are not clean. Be careful to prick your hands.” Shao Yu frowned and put the bamboo strip full of burrs aside.

Shao Xiaocao shrank her hands. In fact, her hands were full of calluses. This level of burrs could not pierce her at all, but she said nothing. She watched her father carefully select some smoother bamboo strips, feeling a surge of warmth deep in her heart.

 

Is this a father’s love?

 

Shao Xiaocao thought to herself, being so attentive and thoughtful, just a small gesture, she knew that she was taken into consideration.

 

“I ignored you a lot in the past, but I won’t anymore.” Shao Yu suddenly said.

 

Shao Xiaocao said quickly: “No, no…”

This look is very much like a social anxiety person suddenly entering a gathering of many people.

 

“It’s dad’s fault, it almost ruined your life.” Shao Yu said again.

 

Shao Xiaocao had a sour nose, and immediately said: “How can I blame dad? If I want to blame anyone, I will blame…”

 

She didn’t want to be the one who spoke ill of her brother behind his back, so her subsequent words were stuck in her throat and she couldn’t say them out.

 

Shao Yu continued: “After learning such a big lesson today, he will not dare to do it again in the future.”

 

After Shao Xiaocao heard this, she couldn’t help the doubts in her heart and asked: “Dad, why did you have to bet on the second game?”
