Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 3) Chapter 63.5: The Son-In-Law of a Wealthy Family (20)
Mother Zheng pushed her and said, “Why are you so disobedient, kid? Go back quickly. Your mother-in-law will start cooking now. We can have it hot in the evening.”
Zheng Sandi still didn’t speak.
Mother Zheng had no choice but to grit her teeth and take out a hundred yuan, saying to her: “Give the money to your mother-in-law, and think of it as something I bought for you, that’s all.”
Zheng Sandi turned around and looked at her mother in disbelief. She had never thought that she, a mother who only earned money but never spent, would one day spend money on her daughter-in-law.
Mother Zheng continued, “One hundred yuan is enough to buy rice cakes. You can also ask your father-in-law to go and catch some river shrimps. City people like to eat wild shrimps the most.”
“Is it for her again?” Zheng Sandi asked, feeling sour in her heart.
Mother Zheng nodded and used the same old words, acting like the best mother-in-law in the world.
“I’m not going!” Zheng Sandi was angry.
Mother Zheng couldn’t help but hit her and said, “I worked so hard to raise you, and this is how you treat me, you unfilial daughter!”
Zheng Sandi had no choice but to take the money.
Just at this moment, Zheng Yaozu and Shao Mingzhu came back.
Shao Mingzhu walked in front with a straw hat on her head, and Zheng Yaozu followed behind, holding an umbrella for her with one hand and carrying a basket in the other.
The basket was full of fresh fruit.
Shao Mingzhu walked in with a big smile on her face and said, “Mom, Third Sister, look at the fruit I just picked!”
Shao Mingzhu’s show-off look was like that of a little child. Having not seen the wind and rain for many years, her expression and behavior at the age of 30 still seem very innocent and cute.
Even Zheng Yaozu, who originally had evil intentions, couldn’t help laughing when he saw his wife’s innocent look.
In Mother Zheng’s eyes, Shao Mingzhu was not Shao Mingzhu, but the glittering 50 billion. She naturally cooperated and asked, “You picked up all these? That’s amazing.”
Shao Mingzhu understood what Shao Yu said at this time, and thought that her parents-in-law really loved her as much as Shao Yu did. She couldn’t help but get closer and said, “Try it quickly, it’s very sweet.”
Mother Zheng picked one up and ate it cooperatively, praising: “The fruit picked by Mingzhu is really extra sweet.”
Such a fake and exaggerated performance can fool Shao Mingzhu.
Zheng Sandi, who was standing by, felt as if she was drowning in bitter water. She couldn’t help but say, “No matter how sweet the fruit is, she still won’t give birth to a son!”
Mother Zheng immediately frowned and said, “Zheng Sandi, if you dare to say such nonsense again, don’t recognize me as your mother anymore!”
Zheng Sandi’s face turned pale.
Mother Zheng had her own way of dealing with her daughter, and she scolded her again: “Do you remember what I told you? If you don’t see anything at night, don’t blame me for not recognizing you.”
Seeing that her mother was really angry, Zheng Sandi did not dare to show it even though she felt a million grievances in her heart.
At this time, Father Zheng also came back from outside. As soon as he entered the yard, he smiled and said, “Mingzhu, do you want to eat sweet potatoes and peanuts? They are just dug out of the ground and are very fresh!”
Father Zheng was holding something, as if he was presenting a treasure to Shao Mingzhu, but he didn’t even notice his daughter with red eyes at all.
According to Zheng Yaozu, Shao Mingzhu had seen all kinds of good things, so there was no need to spend a lot of money to buy good things. It would be enough to get some local items that were only available at home.
Shao Mingzhu was indeed very curious when she saw the freshly-dug peanuts and sweet potatoes.
Father Zheng boasted again: “These are all grown without pesticides. According to what you city people say, they are the best organic vegetables.”
As he spoke, he tore off a peanut and peeled it on the spot to show Shao Mingzhu: “It’s so tender. It tastes great when boiled in salt water.”
Shao Mingzhu’s eyes lit up when she heard this.
Father Zheng added, “I’ll wash it now and cook it for you as a snack.”
Seeing that her father didn’t even glance at her, and her brother and mother were surrounding Shao Mingzhu and asking about her well-being, Zheng Sandi couldn’t bear it anymore and ran out.
“Why did third sister leave?” Shao Mingzhu asked curiously.
Mother Zheng immediately said, “Don’t worry about her. She is always so startled. She is rude.”
Shao Mingzhu spent a few comfortable days at the Zheng family. Her medicine was delivered to her on time every day. Zheng Yaozu was also tired of her and finally became able to identify all her skin care products skillfully.
Father and mother Zheng found different ways to make delicious food for her every day. Originally, there was a girl named Zheng Sandi who was causing trouble for her, but after being scolded by Father Zheng, Zheng Sandi was not allowed to go back to her parents’ home.
In this way, Shao Mingzhu felt that although this place was a little simple, it was barely acceptable, so she waited patiently for the month to end.
Zheng Yaozu also felt that things were going very smoothly. Recently, when he talked to Shao Yu on the phone, he could feel that Shao Yu seemed to be getting more and more satisfied with him. Zheng Yaozu also felt that he was one step closer to taking control of the company.
But on the seventh day of his stay in his hometown, Zheng Yaozu’s phone suddenly rang.
The person on the other end of the phone was an acquaintance of his in Shao Group and also his old classmate. When he just came back, he had asked this person about the project.
