BHBF Chapter 76.4

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 4) Chapter 76.4: Playful Son (21)

The points above are clearly “Three”.

“Ah!”

The gamblers immediately let out howls of pain.

Even Shao Jialiang, who didn’t care about money at all, stood there stupidly with a dazed look on his face.

Guan Si kept muttering: “It’s over, it’s all over…”

Someone in the crowd shouted, “It’s all his nonsense!”

Everyone’s eyes turned to where Shao Yu was.

Everyone regarded Shao Yu as the God of Wealth, and therefore they all worshipped him for fear of crowding him out, so the position he sat in was very spacious.

But at this time, there was no trace of Shao Yu at that location, and no one noticed when Shao Yu left.

“Where did the person go?” the gamblers asked each other at this time.

But Guan Si said inexplicably at this time: “The father ran away, but the son is still here!”

Everyone immediately looked at Shao Jialiang, completely ignoring the fact that Shao Yu had repeatedly tried to stop them from investing. At this moment, these people just wanted to eat Shao Jialiang alive.

Shao Jiashan, who had been outside the circle, only saw an afterimage passing by in front of him, and the afterimage pulled him up and ran away.

When he left the gambling house, Shao Jiashan still didn’t know what had happened, but he finally saw clearly that the afterimage that was pulling him away was actually Shao Yu.

“Father?” Shao Jiashan asked puzzledly.

Shao Yu pulled him to a corner outside the gambling house and hid there.

“Why are we hiding here?” Shao Jiashan asked.

Shao Yu said softly, “Let’s see when your brother comes out.”

Shao Jiashan nodded, then realized what had just happened and couldn’t help asking, “Father, why did you lose?”

When he thought about his brother losing tens of thousands of taels, Shao Jiashan couldn’t help but feel a little distressed.

But Shao Yu didn’t feel bad at all, and said: “In a gambling house, it’s normal to win this game and lose the next one, isn’t it?”

“But in this last round, my brother lost tens of thousands of taels.” Shao Jiashan thought of his good friend and said, “I’m afraid Guan Si has lost all his small treasury.”

Shao Yu remembered it clearly and said, “Your brother lost 60,000 taels, and Guan 40,000 to 70,000 taels.”

Hearing about so much money, Shao Jiashan couldn’t help but feel heartbroken again: “With so much money, they must be very sad.”

“No matter how sad they are, you don’t have to be sad, because you have saved your money anyway,” said Shao Yu.

Shao Jiashan nodded slightly and said, “I’ll give my brother half later.”

Shao Yu said, “Your brother took his share, and the gambling house is willing to accept the loss. Now you give him half, do you look down on him?”

When Shao Jiashan heard this, he thought of his brother’s very competitive nature and wondered if he would really think so, so he could only give up the idea.

“Your brother is going to suffer today.” Shao Yu suddenly sighed.

Shao Jiashan hurriedly asked why.

Shao Yu smiled apologetically and said, “Those people know that he is my son.”

Shao Jiashan’s heart immediately skipped a beat and he began to worry about his younger brother.

At this time, people came out of the gambling house one after another, cursing.

Guan Si also came out, but this time he looked as if he had lost his parents.

Not far behind Guan Si, Shao Jialiang was also pushed out. If he hadn’t been protected by Shao Yu’s two attendants, he would have been eaten up by the gamblers by now.

Shao Jiashan complained to Guan Si who was leaving, saying, “Why didn’t Guan Si protect Liang’er?”

Shao Jialiang is young and this is his first time in such a place, but Guan Si is different. He has been going in and out of gambling houses for a long time and is very familiar with the owners of the gambling houses. Even if the crowd is excited, it is not difficult for him to protect Shao Jialiang.

“When I left, I heard Guan Si shout, ‘The father ran away, but his son is still here,'” Shao Yu said.

Upon hearing this, Shao Jiashan immediately became furious and said, “Isn’t Guan Si trying to kill Liang’er? How could he be such a person!”

Shao Yu immediately advised in a very innocent way: “Don’t think too much. Guan Si lost a lot of money. Maybe he is angry. It’s not his fault.”

But Shao Yu’s seemingly considerate advice only added fuel to the fire for Shao Jiashan.

“Is money more important than brothers? He just wants to vent his anger on Liang’er! I want to break up with him!” Shao Jiashan felt that he had seen through Guan Si at this moment.

Shao Yu asked casually, “Come to think of it, who kept asking you to come to the gambling house?”

Shao Jiashan said: “If Guan Si hadn’t urged me every day, I would never have come to such a smoky and foul place. A bunch of people are crowded together, and it stinks to death.”

Shao Jiashan’s purpose in life is to enjoy life, not to suffer in a place like a gambling house.

If Guan Si hadn’t been urging him, he wouldn’t have come to this place. Now seeing how Guan Si treated his brother, he became even more determined to break off the friendship.

In the original plot, the terrible disaster caused by Shao Jiashan was actually him taking the blame for someone else.

And the person who actually made the mistake was Guan Si.

After his good brother took the blame, Guan Si never visited Shao Jiashan or sent anything to him. He just left his good brother to suffer at the border. After hiding in his hometown in the countryside for a few years, Guan Si returned to the capital and continued to be his own handsome young man.

Shao Yu watched for a long time. Although Shao Jialiang was protected by two attendants, he still looked very embarrassed. After everyone had left, Shao Yu came out from the corner.

At this time, Shao Jialiang stood there very dejectedly, like a branch that had been drained of water, his whole body was wilted.

“Sixty thousand taels, sixty thousand taels of silver…” Shao Jialiang muttered.

He didn’t even notice Shao Yu approaching.

“What can you do with 60,000 taels?” Shao Yu asked.

“Buy grain, buy countless grains.” Shao Jialiang said in great pain.

When Shao Jialiang thought about the loss of so much food that could be used for disaster relief, his face was filled with pain and he felt like a sinner.

Shao Yu touched his youngest son’s head, but instead of comforting him, he asked, “Do you know why you lost?”

Shao Jialiang suddenly raised his head, looked straight at Shao Yu, and asked, “Father, you did this on purpose, right? You just don’t want me to gamble.”

Shao Yu chuckled and said, “You don’t gamble for money, but now you have begun to doubt me as a father.”

Shao Jialiang felt a little guilty when he heard this. He told himself that there are always winners and losers in gambling, and he should not resent his father for it.
