Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 3) Chapter 63.4: The Son-In-Law of a Wealthy Family (19)
“The old man loves Shao Mingzhu the most. This time, letting her go home with me is a test for me. As long as I pass the test, I can return to the company. If I can’t pass the test, the company may have nothing to do with me forever.”
In order to appeal to his parents, Zheng Yaozu had no choice but to say something absolute.
When the old couple thought of the 50 billion, they immediately said, “Don’t worry, we will cooperate with you. It’s just to coax a young lady, right? Even if we have to work like cows and horses, we have to coax her well.”
Zheng Yaozu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, Mother Zheng suddenly jumped up and walked out in a hurry.
“Mom?” Zheng Yaozu was puzzled.
Mother Zheng said without even turning her head: “You can’t make porridge oil with an electric rice cooker, you still have to use a big pot to cook it.”
After becoming motivated, Zheng’s mother changed her previous style and became more active than anyone else.
When Shao Mingzhu went downstairs again, she saw that the way the Zheng family’s old couple looked at her had changed. They both squeezed their faces hard, as if trying to force a smile.
Shao Mingzhu didn’t think much about it and just thought that Zheng Yaozu had already communicated with his parents in this short period of time.
Zheng Yaozu handed her a bowl of white porridge, and Zheng’s father handed her a small plate of pickles.
“I searched in the pickle jar for a long time before I found a stack of the most delicious ones. Daughter-in-law, please try the flavor.” Father Zheng said with a smile.
After Shao Mingzhu took a bite with her chopsticks, she felt the crisp taste and couldn’t help but nodded and said, “The pickles made by mom and dad are delicious.”
Mother Zheng immediately smiled from ear to ear and said, “If you like it, then eat more. I’ll let you bring the best back to Shencheng later.”
Shao Mingzhu was very satisfied with her mother-in-law’s attitude towards her at this time, so she said again: “Don’t you want to go to Shanghai? I have a lot of empty houses under my name. Although my father won’t let me transfer them to others, it’s no problem to clean up one and let you two live in it.”
Shao Mingzhu brought up the old matter again. Father and mother Zheng wanted to agree, but Zheng Yaozu was winking at them frantically.
Thinking of the family’s big plan, Father Zheng could only reluctantly refuse, saying: “We are both old and healthy. We feel comfortable living in the countryside, and we can also grow some vegetables for you.”
Although Shao Mingzhu didn’t know why the old couple’s attitude changed so much, seeing that they were so persistent, she no longer forced it.
Although Shao Mingzhu was troublesome, she was still an easy person to get along with as long as her requirements were met. After eating breakfast and taking medicine, Shao Mingzhu wanted to go out for some fresh air.
In front of 50 billion, it seemed that everyone’s enthusiasm was mobilized, and Father Zheng’s mind had never been so active: “There is an orchard in the east of our village, Yaozu, take Mingzhu to play there.”
Shao Mingzhu was somewhat moved after hearing this.
Mother Zheng also took out a straw hat and said, “The sun is still strong now. Mingzhu’s skin is so delicate, she must not get sunburned.”
Shao Mingzhu took a look at the straw hat, and Mother Zheng immediately explained: “This is new, I have never used it once.”
Shao Mingzhu nodded and put it on.
Not long after the two of them left home, Zheng Sandi suddenly came back.
“Why are you back in broad daylight? Didn’t you just come yesterday?” Mother Zheng asked in confusion.
Zheng Sandi lowered her head and did not speak.
Mother Zheng suddenly saw a new scar on her daughter’s neck and immediately asked, “Why did he hit you again?”
Zheng Sandi burst into tears and said aggrievedly, “It’s still about that.”
After hearing this, Zheng’s mother scolded, “You are also a loser. You can’t even give birth to a son. No wonder your husband beats you.”
Zheng Sandi heard this but she still cried. She didn’t expect her mother to comfort her. She just said, “Why do you only blame me and not Shao Mingzhu? She doesn’t have a son either.”
Mother Zheng asked without thinking: “Can you compare with her?”
After hearing this, Zheng Sandi cried even harder.
Mother Zheng didn’t have the heart to deal with her daughter. She just said, “That’s enough. Go home when you’ve cried enough.”
Zheng Sandi didn’t say anything.
Mother Zheng said again: “Go back and ask your mother-in-law to make some rice cakes. She makes good rice cakes. I am not as good as her.”
Zheng Sandi didn’t dare to ask her mother-in-law about this.
Mother Zheng urged, “Hurry up, it’s better to send it over in the evening so that Mingzhu can have a taste of the fresh food.”
“Mom, why are you doing this for my brother’s wife?” Zheng Sandi asked in disbelief. She couldn’t understand why Shao Mingzhu was so lucky when she couldn’t give birth to a son.
Mother Zheng nodded and said, “It’s rare for Mingzhu to come here, so of course we have to let her eat something good.”
Zheng Sandi asked, “Didn’t you want to beat her last night? My brother can only see her, and you are the same. What’s wrong with you two?”
Mother Zheng immediately retorted, “Nonsense, I only have one daughter-in-law, I love her so much, how could I hit her?”
Zheng Yaozu repeatedly told her to keep the secret, and even in front of her own daughter, Mother Zheng didn’t want to let the secret slip. So in Zheng Sandi’s eyes, Zheng’s mother seemed to be under a spell and was determined to be good to Shao Mingzhu.
“I won’t go.” Zheng Sandi rarely disobeyed her mother.
