Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 3) Chapter 61.3: The Son-In-Law of a Wealthy Family (6)
After saying that, Shao Mingzhu pulled Zheng Yaozu out without giving him any time to prepare.
In the study, Shao Yu was sitting behind the desk, reading a booklet in his hands.
“Dad, what are you looking at?” Shao Mingzhu asked curiously.
Shao Yu handed her the booklet.
When Shao Mingzhu saw the booklet, she saw the words: “Guide to Being a Good Daughter-in-law Today”.
“Dad, how can you read such a book?” Shao Mingzhu said with some disgust.
Shao Yu smiled and said, “Just watch and play.”
After saying that, his eyes also fell on Shao Mingzhu’s eyes and asked, “Are you crying?”
Zheng Yaozu was startled, for he knew well how Shao Yu doted on Shao Mingzhu.
Shao Mingzhu paused, turned to look at her husband, and said nothing.
Zheng Yaozu immediately showed his willingness to please him.
Shao Mingzhu then said, “I was joking with Yaozu just now, and he made me laugh and cry.”
After hearing this, Shao Yu looked at Zheng Yaozu deeply and said, “If this is true, then Yaozu has done a great job. The biggest role you play in coming to our Shao family is to make Mingzhu happy.”
Zheng Yaozu hated his status as a son-in-law the most. Being humbled by Shao Yu at this moment, he felt humiliated, but he did not dare to resist. He could only say, “I like Mingzhu. I feel happy when I can make her laugh.”
Shao Yu nodded and said, “I only have this one daughter. As long as Mingzhu is happy, I can tolerate anything. But if anyone bullies Mingzhu, I will not let him go even if I die or become a ghost.”
Zheng Yaozu’s heart tightened when he heard this. He felt that Shao Yu seemed to have noticed something.
Shao Mingzhu immediately tugged at her father’s sleeve and said, “Dad, it’s such a good day, why are you talking about dead ghosts? How unlucky.”
Shao Yu immediately laughed and said, “Okay, I’ll listen to my precious daughter and not say anything unlucky.”
Shao Mingzhu then laughed and said, “Dad, you haven’t told us what you want to talk to us about.”
“Didn’t you say you wanted to go on vacation with Yaozu? Have you decided where to go?” Shao Yu asked
Shao Mingzhu shook her head and said, “I haven’t decided where to go yet, but we can just find a small European country to play around in.”
Zheng Yaozu never had any say in such matters. Seeing that he could not persuade Shao Mingzhu to give up his long vacation, he thought about where he could go to shorten the travel time.
But Shao Yu rejected Shao Mingzhu’s idea and said, “I have a place I recommend you to go.”
“Where?” Shao Mingzhu asked excitedly.
“Lincheng”, by Shao Yu.
After these words were spoken, Shao Mingzhu hadn’t figured it out yet, but Zheng Yaozu was shocked.
Lincheng is not some other place, it happens to be Zheng Yaozu’s hometown.
“Is there anything particularly fun in Lincheng?” Shao Mingzhu asked curiously.
Shao Yu looked at Zheng Yaozu, and Shao Mingzhu suddenly remembered that Lincheng was her husband’s hometown.
“Dad, do you want us to visit relatives in Lincheng?” Shao Mingzhu asked.
Shao Yu nodded.
Shao Mingzhu said, “Yaozu’s relatives are all in the countryside. Instead of visiting them, we might as well bring them all over and let them have a good time here.”
Unlike Shao Mingzhu’s innocence, Zheng Yaozu felt it was very strange at this time. He married into the Shao family, but Shao Yu had never met his in-laws, nor did he let Shao Mingzhu meet his parents-in-law.
Although Shao Yu did not stop his son-in-law from returning home to visit relatives every year, he never allowed Shao Mingzhu to go to the countryside. Even when they got married, Shao Yu did not invite relatives from there to attend the wedding, and only gave a dowry of one million yuan to the man’s family.
Shao Yu had always openly disliked the Zheng family as a relative, so his sudden change of attitude at this moment made Zheng Yaozu suspicious.
Shao Yu has always been blatantly unpleasant to the Zheng family’s relatives, so her sudden change of attitude at this moment has to make Zheng Yaozu suspicious.
“Mingzhu, how can they be the same?” Shao Yu said.
Shao Mingzhu curled her lips. She was a pampered young lady, so naturally she was very resistant to the idea of going to her husband’s hometown in the countryside.
“Your parents-in-law are your elders, so naturally you should visit them in person,” Shao Yu said.
Zheng Yaozu remained silent. Although he did not understand Shao Yu’s real intention, since this was a visit to his hometown, he should not refuse for either moral or logical reasons.
“Why do we have to go to the countryside of Lincheng? We have plenty of houses anyway. We can leave one empty for them. If they want to visit, we can just bring them over to visit.” Shao Mingzhu said casually, not knowing how much property she was giving away.
Her words really moved Zheng Yaozu.
The Shao family owns a lot of properties, but they are all under the names of Shao Yu and Shao Mingzhu. Even the least valuable of these houses can be worth millions. Zheng Yaozu has been tempted for a long time, but without Shao Yu’s approval, he has not dared to make any plans.
Although Shao Mingzhu has a lot of daily expenses, she uses Shao Yu’s secondary card and actually has little cash on hand. Zheng Yaozu, the son-in-law of a wealthy family, only has 50,000 yuan a month for living expenses.
Fifty thousand yuan is a high salary for a worker, but wealthy families spend a lot of money, and Zheng Yaozu has a group of relatives behind him, so this money is naturally not enough for him.
Zheng Yaozu looked at Shao Yu with anticipation, hoping that a house would fall from the sky.
