Boss, He’s Becoming a Father Chapter 8: The Prodigal Son (17)
Of course Shao Dabao will feel embarrassed.
He had long been expelled from school because of his lack of knowledge and skills, and now he had broken a finger. He was so depressed that he didn’t want to contact his former classmates anymore, so he lowered his head and said, “My classmates have always looked higher than their heads. How would they be willing to talk to me?”
Seeing such self-pity, Shao Yu was very displeased. He frowned and asked, “How do you know if others will pay attention to you if you don’t try?”
“You don’t have to try to know that. If I were in another situation with them, I’m afraid I wouldn’t pay attention to them.” Shao Dabao said confidently.
In the dead of night, Shao Dabao once thought about whether he would still have a very bright future if he had not made a mistake.
But now all this can only be thought about.
“You are wrong to think so.” Shao Yu said.
“What’s wrong, I am like this, they must be like this too.” Shao Dabao said with certainty.
Shao Yu smiled and said, “They definitely won’t do that.”
In Shao Dabao’s questioning eyes, Shao Yu said: “After all, in your school, it is really rare to see people with bad character like you.”
Shao Dabao was told by Shao Yu that his character was not good, and he immediately wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he didn’t know where to start.
“Are you feeling angry, but there’s no reason to refute it?” Shao Yu added the blow.
Shao Dabao’s character has long been determined, and his rebuttal at this time is just another slap in the face by Shao Yu to remind him what kind of person he is.
Shao Xiaocao on the side, because of this interruption, the sibling warmth that had just arisen in her heart cooled down slightly, and she focused on the things in front of her again.
“You can’t force me to find my classmates.” Shao Dabao said again.
Even though he went to the classmates for help, Shao Dabao didn’t want others to see his downbeat side.
“Why?” Shao Yu asked.
“There is no reason. You can ask me to do other things, but you can’t force me to find my classmates.” Shao Dabao said.
Shao Yu saw that he looked a little angry, and immediately understood what he was thinking. Instead, he felt a little strange and said, “You have done so many things, and yet you still have shame?”
Shao Dabao was already feeling uncomfortable, and after being scolded by Shao Yu several times, he immediately became unhappy and said, “What on earth did I do? My sister is fine, and the shop at home is fine, but I lost a finger.”
“From the beginning to the end, I was the only one who has been wronged. Are you still going to finish it?” Shao Dabao said, getting angrier as he thought about it.
He was always pampered to the point of being lawless. In the past few days, Mrs. Wang’s change of attitude had frightened him for a while, but he was so desperate that he couldn’t care less. On the spot, the frame of the lantern that was braided in the hand slammed heavily on the ground, and he stepped on it hard.
He had been frustrated these days, and now he took it all out on the lantern frame.
But after he finished venting, a sense of fear emerged in his heart, and he looked at his father and sister beside him.
Shao Yu looked calm, as if he had expected him to do this long ago, while Shao Xiaocao looked distressed at the lantern frame on the ground.
“Is it over?” Shao Yu asked.
The calmer Shao Yu became, the more Shao Dabao felt uncertain, and did not dare to answer.
“Do you feel wronged?” Shao Yu asked.
Shao Dabao shrank his neck.
Shao Yu knew about Shao Dabao’s character for a long time, so Shao Yu knew all of his careful thoughts.
Having a broken finger would at most make Shao Dabao afraid of gambling for a while, but he never felt that he was at fault in his heart.
If he thinks he is right, then naturally he must find a way to make him realize his mistake.
Shao Yu asked again: “You are probably feeling aggrieved by staying at home during this period.”
Shao Dabao was now not afraid to speculate on Shao Yu with the greatest malice. His first reaction was not that he had turned around, but that he was about to be kicked out of the house by Shao Yu, and his heart immediately rose to his throat.
“You have to report to the corvee tomorrow. You pack up tonight and follow tomorrow.” Shao Yu said.
Corvée sounds simple, but it is a hard. It is randomly assigned by the government. The conditions are hard and the work is heavy. People in the government never regard corvée as human beings. Even when they encounter dangerous projects, some people can’t come back directly.
If you want to be exempted from corvee, you must either pay money or have a scholar in your family.
“I won’t go! I won’t go even if I die! Whoever wants to do this can go!” Shao Dabao shouted. Although he no longer studies, he still feels that he is a scholar in his heart.
In his mind, corvee work was the work of the lower class. How could he be willing to do it?
“Why not?” Shao Yu asked.
“I won’t do such a lowly job!” Shao Dabao shouted.
Shao Yu said: “It’s such a good thing, why are you making trouble?”
Shao Dabao slowly raised a question mark above his head. He felt that Shao Yu’s words were extremely outrageous and retorted: “What good thing can corvee be?”
“Corvee service is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. If you go to serve, your family will have one less person to eat. When you get there, you will be the one eating the royal food. If I hadn’t given in, this blessing would not have been yours. You have to cherish it.” Shao Yu said seriously.
It was obvious that he was going to work as a dog on the construction site, but Shao Yu said it was like a rare blessing, and the job of a corvee was also said to be very popular.
For some reason, Shao Dabao found Shao Yu’s words unexpectedly familiar. Wasn’t this what he said when he persuaded Shao Xiaocao to get married.
