Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 3) Chapter 66.3: The Son-In-Law of a Wealthy Family (36)
“It’s dark now. We’ll go fish it out tomorrow.” Zheng Yaozu has become accustomed to Shao Mingzhu’s nosiness.
Shao Mingzhu didn’t force it.
The two waited upstairs for a while, and then they heard someone calling for dinner downstairs.
Although Mother Zheng was angry with Shao Mingzhu, she was very clear about preparing meals for her, and was even afraid that she would make Shao Mingzhu unhappy again.
After dinner, the family saw Shao Mingzhu was about to go out again, and immediately said, “It’s already dark, and you’re still running around. Aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble?”
Shao Mingzhu tilted her head and waited for a moment, then she heard Xiao Lin’s voice coming from outside the house.
“What will they think if I don’t say anything?” Shao Mingzhu asked curiously.
The faces of the three members of the Zheng family immediately turned ugly. If Shao Mingzhu didn’t agree now, with the gossiping people in the village, who knows what would be spread tomorrow.
“You can go out and run around, but don’t talk nonsense outside,” said Mother Zheng.
Shao Mingzhu said, “I’m not talking nonsense. I’m telling the truth.”
Mother Zheng felt her heart choke. What she feared most now was the truth from Shao Mingzhu.
“Then you should talk less. There is nothing to say to those people,” Mother Zheng said.
Shao Mingzhu said: “Why do you think you can control my mouth?”
Mother Zheng was so angry that she almost fell backwards.
Shao Mingzhu no longer paid attention to the Zheng family and ran out happily.
Although Shao Mingzhu knew that no matter how loud her mouth was, the impact on Zheng Yaozu’s family was actually very limited. At most, she would spread a few more gossips in the village, but it would not actually cause them any serious harm.
But Shao Mingzhu felt much better during the process of speaking out.
Her husband betrayed her, her father went bankrupt, and the quality of her daughter’s and her own life in the future are visible to the naked eye.
Shao Mingzhu seemed not to care about the surface and even acted arrogant in front of Zheng Yaozu’s family, but whenever she had free time, she couldn’t control her chaotic thoughts.
It seemed as if Shao Mingzhu felt a lot more relaxed as she spoke freely to these people. Although she knew that these people just wanted to watch the fun, she also felt a lot more comfortable when she heard them scold Zheng Yaozu’s family.
On the way back, Xiao Lin suddenly asked, “Mingzhu, what will you do if Zheng Yaozu marries that woman outside?”
Shao Mingzhu said: “That happened after we divorced. We’re already divorced, so why should I care about him?”
Seeing that Shao Mingzhu did not look sad at all, Xiao Lin felt relieved and asked again, “Have you ever thought about the future?”
Shao Mingzhu’s plan is to take good care of Shao Yu and her daughter.
After listening to this, Xiao Lin couldn’t help but ask: “You are so well-off, have you ever thought about getting married again?”
Shao Mingzhu was stunned when she heard this. This was indeed a question she had never considered before.
Xiao Lin added: “Actually, I have a cousin who is divorced from his ex-wife and now has a son…”
Shao Mingzhu was suddenly flustered when she heard these words that seemed like an introduction to a date. She instinctively resisted and said, “Thank you for your kindness, but I’m not considering this now. Besides, my family is still in debt, so don’t drag others down.”
“Does your father’s debt have anything to do with you?” Xiao Lin asked curiously.
Shao Mingzhu nodded and said, “It is only natural to pay back debts. Dad wants to pay back the money, so of course I have to help him.”
After hearing this, although Xiao Lin admired the Shao family’s insistence on repaying the debt, she was also an ordinary person after all. Shao Mingzhu was indeed a good person, but Xiao Lin did not want her cousin to fall into the nightmare of repaying debt, so she never mentioned introducing a partner to him again.
After Shao Mingzhu returned, she heard Zheng Yaozu, who was staying in the guest room, was talking on the phone. She didn’t eavesdrop or think much about it. She just washed up and laid down.
But Zheng Yaozu next door was not feeling as good as she was at this moment.
“Yuqing, don’t cry, it’s all my fault.” Zheng Yaozu comforted her softly.
A woman’s sobbing voice came from the phone, saying, “When you were pursuing Shao Mingzhu in college, even though I was in love with you, I didn’t dare to speak up.”
“I wanted to forget you at first, but I didn’t expect an accident. I didn’t dare to bother you when you had a child and were married. I can only silently support you like this.”
“Now I finally waited until you guys got divorced, but I didn’t expect it would still not be my turn, Yaozu, what am I in your heart?”
Listening to the woman’s sobbing questions on the other end of the phone, Zheng Yaozu was overwhelmed by guilt, but he still hardened his heart and said, “Yuqing, I have no choice. I just want to give you and the child the best life.”
Song Yuqing continued to cry and said, “You are going to find another woman, but you still worship Shao Mingzhu every day. How can I believe this?”
“Yuqing, I am not sincere in worshipping Shao Mingzhu. You have to believe me, I have my own reasons.” Zheng Yaozu explained.
“Okay, since you said that, I’ll believe you again.” Although Song Yuqing was still crying, she seemed to have calmed down a lot.
Zheng Yaozu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Yuqing always seemed to be so considerate. Even if she was angry, he could quickly coax her into peace. Compared to Shao Mingzhu, who was very difficult to deal with when she was angry, Zheng Yaozu found Song Yuqing even more adorable.
