Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 3) Chapter 70.5: The Son-In-Law of a Wealthy Family (61)
Zheng Yaozu could only say: “Lincheng also has rich women.”
He also figured it out at this time. The women in Shencheng are all smart, and it is rare to find a Shao Mingzhu who is so easy to deceive. But Lincheng is different. It is a small place and the women there are not very experienced. He thinks that with his looks, it should be easy for him to hook up with a local rich woman.
After going through so much, Zheng Yaozu no longer dares to dream of becoming an heir to hundreds of billions. Now he just wants to find an ordinary rich woman and live an ordinary and stable life.
But Father Zheng didn’t think so. He always felt that his son had the potential to become the husband of a wealthy woman, and kept urging Zheng Yaozu to return to Shencheng.
Zheng Yaozu finally lost his patience and said, “Even if I don’t go back to Shencheng, you two won’t be short of food and drink.”
Father Zheng looked unhappy.
Zheng Yaozu added: “I’ve been home for so long, and you’ve been talking about Shencheng all the time, without even asking me if I’m thirsty or hungry.”
After Zheng Yaozu finished speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong. Usually, all the things surrounding his son were done by Mother Zheng, but today Mother Zheng was unusually quiet. She just stood aside with a changing expression on her face. It was obvious that her mind was no longer in this family.
“Mom?” Zheng Yaozu asked.
Mother Zheng seemed to have noticed her son and responded in a daze, saying, “Yaozu, why are you back?”
Zheng Yaozu felt inexplicably surprised and couldn’t help but look at Father Zheng.
Father Zheng immediately said angrily: “Your mother is so old, and she has been confused by your daughter. Now she won’t allow me to say a word against Shao Qi.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Zheng said, “What’s wrong with Shao Qi? You have something to say about such an outstanding granddaughter?”
Zheng Yaozu was even more surprised. He still remembered that Mother Zheng was reluctant to give up the custody because she was afraid of losing Shao Qi, the moving gift. But now she cherished Shao Qi so much. She didn’t look like the old lady who favored boys over girls at all.
“Look, look, that’s it, she’s really bewildered.” Father Zheng accused.
Zheng Yaozu also said: “Mom, wake up. No matter how much you like Shao Qi, her last name is Shao. She is not a member of our Zheng family at all.”
“Even if her surname is not Zheng, she is still my granddaughter,” Mother Zheng retorted.
Faced with Mother Zheng’s obviously abnormal condition, Father Zheng and his son did not comfort and accompany her, but instead kept accusing her of being possessed by evil spirits.
The two of them kept blaming each other, but this only pushed Mother Zheng further away. In the end, Mother Zheng simply closed the door and locked herself inside.
When Zheng Xiaolei came back from school, he was happy to see Zheng Yaozu. But when he learned that Zheng Yaozu did not bring him a gift, the child’s face instantly fell.
Zheng Yaozu didn’t care about the kid’s expression. He took his schoolbag on the spot and wanted to check his homework, but accidentally found the kid’s test paper instead.
Looking at the extremely low scores, Zheng Yaozu cursed: “Even if there was a pig in school, it could score higher than you.”
Zheng Xiaolei did not feel the slightest bit ashamed of his poor grades, but said nonchalantly: “I didn’t pay attention this time, I will definitely do well next time.”
After perfunctorily dealing with his cheap father, Zheng Xiaolei shouted to Father Zheng: “I want to eat fried chicken, hurry up and order takeout!”
Children have poor self-control and always find it difficult to resist the temptation of junk food. However, Father Zheng loves his grandson so much that he often just makes a fuss and then gives in to his grandson’s wishes.
Seeing that Zheng Xiaolei was about to make a fuss now, Father Zheng hurriedly said, “I’ll order it right away.”
Zheng Xiaolei was satisfied and said, “I want another Coke, ice cold!”
Father Zheng kept nodding.
Zheng Yaozu, who was standing by, looked at Zheng Xiaolei with a very critical eye. He saw that the child seemed to have gained a lot of weight compared to the last time they met, and his whole body had swelled up like a foot ball.
Although the original child was a little chubby, he was still round and cute. Now, the child has developed completely horizontally, and it is almost to the point where his facial features cannot be seen clearly.
Zheng Yaozu relied on his good looks to get around the world, so he could not tolerate his son becoming ugly, and he said on the spot: “Don’t let him eat those things.”
Father Zheng was stunned.
Zheng Xiaolei shouted directly: “I want to eat, I want to eat!”
Mother Zheng in the room listened to the shouting outside and murmured softly: “Qiqi never yells.”
Zheng Yaozu frowned and kicked his son.
Zheng Xiaolei rolled on the ground and began to cry loudly while holding his father’s legs: “He hit me, he hit me! Get rid of him!”
Father Zheng immediately felt distressed and said, “He is still young, still a child, why did you hit him so hard?”
After saying that, Father Zheng held Zheng Xiaolei and rubbed the painful area carefully.
Zheng Yaozu looked at this scene, frowned, and said, “He is still so young, but he has already grown crooked. Do you still want him to become a talent?”
Father Zheng felt sorry for his grandson, and thought of Zheng Yaozu’s behavior of leaving Shencheng, and couldn’t help but say: “You didn’t grow up crooked, you became a talent, but you still have nothing now.”
Zheng Yaozu was stabbed in the heart. He couldn’t refute Father Zheng, so he wanted to take it out on his son. He said in a high-sounding way: “If you don’t carve jade, you won’t make it into a useful tool. I can’t let him follow my old path.”
