Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 3) Chapter 70.2: The Son-In-Law of a Wealthy Family (58)
After hearing this, Mother Zheng did not think about it at all. How could a nine-year-old girl say such words? Instead, the only thing echoing in her mind was “supporting the family.”
For Mother Zheng, these four words mean receiving a high bride price and providing endless support to her younger brother in the future.
On the one hand, I have bet on my granddaughter for so long, it would be a pity to give up now, and on the other hand, I might have to pay a huge sum of more than 10,000 yuan.
Mother Zheng thought for a long time and decided to cry poor first.
But Shao Qi only listened to the beginning and said, “My brother has money to buy a game console, but I don’t have money to buy a learning machine. It turns out that you just despise me because I am a girl. I don’t want to talk to you anymore.”
After Shao Qi said this,s he turned around and left without any hesitation.
Her straightforwardness made Mother Zheng panic. She quickly pulled her back and said, “My dear granddaughter, grandma didn’t mean that. Don’t think too much about it.”
“I didn’t think much about it. Which classmate in the class doesn’t have a learning machine? Anyway, I’m not someone that anyone cares about.” Shao Qi said.
Mother Zheng scolded Shao Qi in her heart, but after hearing what she said, she couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s your mother? Didn’t she buy you a learning machine?”
“My mother only has her boyfriend in her heart, and my grandfather has no time to care about me. I feel like I’m redundant in that family.” Shao Qi looked aggrieved.
Her appearance at this moment actually made Mother Zheng feel that if she showed a little more care and concern, Shao Qi would completely turn to the Zheng family.
Mother Zheng has always known how to deal with girls. She would suppress and scold them first, and then give them some benefits, so that they would be grateful to her.
Mother Zheng treated her three daughters in the same way. Now it was her granddaughter’s turn. She wanted to suppress her, but she had spent very little time with her granddaughter. If she suppressed her right away, she would probably push everyone away.
Mother Zheng had no choice but to reverse the process, but when it was actually implemented, she felt that Shao Qi’s appetite was too big, and a little favor could not impress Shao Qi at all.
Shao Qi then said, “Grandma, it’s getting late. I want to go home and do my homework. I’m going to beg my mom tonight to see if she’s willing to buy me a learning machine.”
“If mom agrees, then I will forgive her and never quarrel with her again.”
After Shao Qi finished speaking, it seemed as if all she needed to conquer her was a learning machine.
Mother Zheng had been coaxing Shao Qi for so many days, but Shao Qi had always given her the illusion that there was a very serious conflict between mother and daughter.
Therefore, at this time, Mother Zheng was also afraid that Shao Mingzhu would directly agree to Shao Qi’s request. If so, once the relationship between mother and daughter was restored, what chance would she have?
“Buy it. A learning machine. I’ll buy it for you.” Mother Zheng said gritting her teeth.
After hearing this, Shao Qi’s lips curled up slightly, and she kept smiling until she returned home.
Seeing her like this, Shao Mingzhu couldn’t help but ask, “Are you so happy because the teacher praised you?”
Shao Qi tilted her head and said, “I have been praised by the teacher every day. Ms. Shao Mingzhu, are you underestimating me?”
Seeing her being so cocky, Shao Mingzhu found it very funny and asked, “Did you pick up any money? If you did, remember to give it to the teacher.”
Shao Qi said, “I didn’t pick up the money, but the people I hate lost money, which is equivalent to me picking up the money. This is the theory of relativity of money.”
Shao Mingzhu was confused and said, “Do you have anyone you hate? Which classmate? You can’t just cheat people.”
Shao Qi refused to tell her who he was, and only said, “How old am I? How can I cheat and deceive people?”
Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Shao Mingzhu didn’t ask any more questions, because she knew that Shao Qi had always been a sensible and well-behaved child. She just thought that someone Shao Qi didn’t like had suffered a loss, and didn’t think it was the Zheng family.
The next day, Shao Qi went to school. Before she entered the school, she was stopped by Mother Zheng, who mysteriously handed Shao Qi a box, which contained a learning machine.
But Shao Qi just took a look and curled her lips and said, “Why is it a cheap brand? I want the gold medal one.”
“They are all learning machines, what’s the difference? I asked, and they are used in the same way.” Mother Zheng said.
A gold medal learning machine costs more than 10,000 yuan, while this unknown brand only costs a few hundred yuan.
Shao Qi is not someone who can be easily fooled, and she said directly: “If you let me use a no-name learning machine, in my heart, I am a no-name granddaughter, right?”
After Shao Qi finished speaking, she returned the learning machine to Mother Zheng. She walked into the school angrily with her schoolbag on her back. Even when school was over, she ignored Mother Zheng’s wave and ran straight back home.
For several days, Mother Zheng wanted to find Shao Qi, but Shao Qi slipped away like a loach, obviously still angry about the learning machine incident.
That day, Mother Zheng came to look for Shao Qi again, but Shao Qi still ignored her and ran away quickly. Mother Zheng was about to leave the school gate when she heard a student’s parent nearby say, “The little girl who just ran away seems to be Shao Qi. She is a classmate of my son.”
