BHBF Chapter 62.4

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 3) Chapter 62.4: The Son-In-Law of a Wealthy Family (13)

But Shao Mingzhu found it very strange and said, “Giving birth to a son? This medicine has nothing to do with giving birth to a son.”

 

Zheng Sandi was stunned and asked, “If it’s not for giving birth to a son, then what kind of medicine is this?”

 

Zheng Sandi has been married for many years but has not been able to give birth to a son. In her opinion, Shao Mingzhu, who also has no son, should be in the same situation as her.

 

Shao Mingzhu explained: “I am not in good health, so I have to ask an old Chinese doctor to prescribe medicine every year. This medicine is to nourish my body.”

 

Although they are tonics, their properties are all very mild. Taking them three times a day can slowly strengthen Shao Mingzhu’s physique.

 

“The purpose of nourishing the body is to give birth to a son, isn’t it?” Zheng Sandi said as a matter of fact.

 

Originally, Shao Mingzhu had some good feelings towards her because she helped her decoct medicine, but after hearing this, Shao Mingzhu suddenly felt uninterested and said, “I am doing this to improve my health. I don’t plan to have any more children.”

 

This understatement was like a bolt from the blue to Zheng Sandi.

 

“How can you not give birth to a son? Without a son, how can our Zheng family continue the family line?”

 

Zheng Sandi suddenly became excited and scared Shao Mingzhu so much that she shivered.

 

” You are still the daughter-in-law of our Zheng family. How can you have such a rebellious idea?” Zheng Sandi asked.

 

This was the first time that Shao Mingzhu was pointed at and asked to give birth. She looked innocent and could only shout, “Yaozu!”

 

Zheng Yaozu had just gone out for a breath of fresh air. When he heard his wife’s voice, he pretended not to hear it. But soon his cell phone rang. Seeing that he could not avoid it, Zheng Yaozu could only push the door and go in.

 

The two women in the room saw him come in and turned to look at him.

 

“Yaozu, how can your wife not give birth? Without a son, our Zheng family will be finished.” Zheng Sandi questioned.

 

“Yaozu, what is your sister doing?” Shao Mingzhu asked puzzledly.

 

Zheng Yaozu was in a dilemma, but the two women kept pestering him for an explanation.

 

Zheng Yaozu still felt that his ambition was more important, so he said to his third sister, “Third sister, go down first and see if mom needs help. I’ll tell you about other things later.”

 

After coaxing his sister away, Zheng Yaozu came to comfort Shao Mingzhu.

 

Shao Mingzhu was the first to attack, and said aggrievedly: “What’s wrong with your sister? She keeps talking about giving birth to a son. How is our Qiqi worse than a son? Besides, we agreed at the beginning that the child would have my surname.”

 

The child would take the woman’s surname, which was agreed upon when they got married. Zheng Yaozu, a poor boy, had no choice at all in order to marry into a wealthy family.

 

But even so, this matter is still a thorn in Zheng Yaozu’s heart, and this was also the root cause of his distant relationship with Shao Qi.

 

Shao Mingzhu didn’t know what her husband was thinking, so she just emphasized, “I can’t have any more children. Giving birth to one child took away half of my life. Qiqi alone is enough to torment me.”

 

Zheng Yaozu immediately said, “Yes, yes, we don’t want to have any more children.”

 

Shao Mingzhu felt a little better, but then she said, “What about your sister? And your dad, he keeps talking about having a second child.”

 

Zheng Yaozu immediately said: “Old people just like their grandchildren. There is nothing they can do about it. But don’t worry, our Qiqi is so cute. Once the old people see her, they will definitely like her.”

 

Only then did Shao Mingzhu let him go.

 

Zheng Yaozu asked again: “Sleep for a while, I’ll wake you up when it’s time for dinner.”

 

Shao Mingzhu slowly lay down. Perhaps because the surrounding environment was too unfamiliar, Shao Mingzhu finally fell into a deep sleep with uneasiness.

 

As soon as Zheng Yaozu came downstairs, Zheng’s mother came over and said, “Why did you really let her sleep? I was waiting for her to cook.”

 

Zheng Yaozu’s eyebrows jumped, and he asked in disbelief: “Why are you waiting for her?”

 

“Cooking.” Zheng’s mother said confidently.

 

Zheng Yaozu immediately pulled his mother aside and asked, “Didn’t you cook for the whole afternoon?”

 

Mother Zheng also pulled her son into the kitchen, pointed at a pile of ingredients that had not been processed yet, and said, “Everything is out, I’m just waiting for her to show her skills.”

 

Even if Zheng Yaozu was crazy, he would not let Shao Mingzhu, a complainer, cook. He quickly dispelled his mother’s idea and said, “She can’t cook. You should ask my sister to help.”

 

Mother Zheng said unhappily, “Whose daughter-in-law doesn’t cook? She is the only one who is distinguished by being from the city.”

 

“You have been married for ten years, and this is her first time to visit her in-laws’ house. I haven’t even argued with her yet. What’s wrong with just asking her to cook now? I have worked so hard for so many years, so what’s wrong with me enjoying the blessing of having a daughter-in-law?”

 

Listening to his mother’s mother, Zheng Yaozu felt that arguments made sense, but he couldn’t let her do whatever she wanted. Although Shao Mingzhu was simple-minded, she was not the type to endure hardship.

 

When Shao Mingzhu was in the Shao family, she was not very tolerant even of her own daughter. Zheng Yaozu did not expect her to give in to her mother-in-law at all, and he did not expect her to come down to cook for the whole family.

 

“Mom, just forget about this. Mingzhu can’t cook.” Zheng Yaozu said.

 

“You can learn if you don’t know how to do it. Everyone learns little by little this way.” Mother Zheng seemed to have thought of something and asked, “Do you always cook when you are at her house?”
