BHBF Chapter 53.4

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 2) Chapter 53.4: The Bitter Heroine (54)

That evening, Shao Yu gave a class. More neighbors came and were more active than the day before, but Shao Yu began to teach them how to read formally.

 

Although he was teaching how to read, Shao Yu had a wealth of knowledge. He could tell a little story for every word he mentioned, and the neighbors listened with great interest.

 

Just when the class was about to end, a figure rushed in.

 

“Lao Shao, Lao Shao, I sold it, I sold it!”

 

Lao Wang ran straight to the blackboard, took Shao Yu’s hand, his face full of excitement.

 

“Old Wang, what did you sell? It wasn’t your bamboo baskets, was it?” a neighbor asked tentatively.

 

Lao Wang spread out his hand, revealing one yuan in his palm.

 

He was completely immersed in excitement at the moment, and forgot to hide his tricks, but instead was overwhelmed with desire to talk.

 

“I went to Huayuan Street at night, but there were few people on the street. Just as I was about to leave, a very beautiful woman stopped in front of me in a rickshaw and bought a bamboo basket.”

 

“She didn’t even ask the price and just bought one.” When Lao Wang recalled it, it felt like a dream.

 

” Really? It’s really one yuan.” Someone exclaimed.

 

There were also some old perverts in the neighborhood, and their focus was completely diverted at this time. Instead, they asked , “How beautiful is that woman?”

 

“Do you know Miss Rose from Paramount? That woman looks exactly like her.” Lao Wang said.

 

It’s not that he has ever been to the Paramount, but there are photos of the Paramount’s top stars posted outside the Paramount.

 

Shao Yu smiled when he heard this and said, “They look exactly the same, so they are most likely the same person.”

 

Lao Wang immediately reacted and said, “Yes, it should be one person. Look at me, I am getting old and confused.”

 

After all, there are still only a few old perverts in the neighborhood. Most people are more concerned about Lao Wang’s money-making experience. Although it is only one yuan, if calculated on a monthly basis, it would be thirty yuan, which can be exchanged for half a gold bar.

 

“Lao Shao, don’t just focus on giving instructions to Lao Wang, give us some guidance as well.” The neighbors swarmed over.

 

Shao Yu shook his head and said, “It’s still class time.”

 

The neighbors immediately said, “Please give us some pointers after class.”

 

Although some people thought that there was nothing good about taking this crappy class, Shao Yu was their father now and they still wanted to make money with him, so they naturally did not dare to go against Shao Yu’s wishes.

 

After waiting for a long time for the class to end, the neighbors were already getting impatient and all swarmed up.

 

“Do I need to give guidance to everyone?” Shao Yu asked.

 

The neighbors immediately said in unison: “Forget about them, but we have such a good relationship, you must help me.”

 

At this moment, everyone seemed to have become Shao Yu’s best friend.

 

Shao Yu sighed and asked, “What special skills do you have?”

 

Most people answered confidently: “I don’t!”

 

Occasionally, there are a few people who answer with nonsense like “can smoke” and “can drink”.

 

“Those who can smoke, can they make homemade cigarettes? Those who can drink, how many kilograms can they drink?”

 

There are many people who can make cigarettes, but few can make them as good as those sold on the market.

 

And among those who can drink, few can drink several kilograms at a time.

 

“You don’t even have your own specialty, and you still want to make money by doing it?” Shao Yu said.

 

The neighbors who were good at smoking and drinking lowered their heads in shame when they heard this.

 

Shao Yu didn’t know that he was encouraging them to smoke and drink, but rather to eliminate some troublesome neighbors.

 

Shao Yu randomly picked someone out from among the few people.

 

“Old Zhao.”

 

When Old Zhao heard Shao Yu’s voice, he was immediately surprised.

 

Shao Yu continued, “I remember you can play the erhu?”

 

Old Zhao nodded immediately.

 

Shao Yu said, “If you can’t collect tuition from your disciples, you can make some money by playing a song when you have nothing to do.”

 

Old Zhao, however, looked miserable and said, “I can’t afford to lose face like this.”

 

Shao Yu immediately said, “Forget it then.”

 

When Lao Zhao heard Shao Yu say this, he immediately became anxious and said, “Lao Shao, please don’t ignore me.”

 

“I’ve told you the way, and you still don’t want to go. There’s nothing I can do.” Shao Yu spread his hands.

 

But Lao Zhao’s wife pushed him and said, “What happening to your family? Do you still want to save face?”

 

 

Old Zhao nodded helplessly.

 

The other neighbors wanted Shao Yu to continue to give them advice, but Shao Yu said, “The method is just this method. Either see what you are good at, or see what others are lacking.”

 

“How would I know what others are lacking?” someone said.

 

Shao Yu looked at the man and said, “Aren’t you selling fried dough sticks? You can ask your regular customers who have some money but not enough to hire servants, and ask them if they want you to deliver fried dough sticks to them on a regular basis every day. You can charge them a running fee and let those rascals in your family run the delivery.”

 

When the dough stick seller heard this, he immediately expressed his gratitude profusely.

 

Others recognized the inspiration and also used this provocative method to ask Shao Yu questions, but Shao Yu did not want to continue answering them one by one.

 

“Everyone, the rice is in the pot. Use your brains and you can serve it.” After saying this, Shao Yu went straight back into the house and no longer cared about these people.
