After Dabao shouted, he realized that Shu Yu and the others were still standing in the courtyard. He seemed to have found his savior and rushed to the old lady to complain without saying anything.
“Grandma, my mother doesn’t know what’s going on, but she insists on forcing me to study. I don’t like it at all. Grandma, can you help me persuade her that I won’t go to the private school tomorrow?”
The old lady’s expression was a little awkward, and her eyes wandered away.
However, Madam Liang betrayed her instantly. “Hahaha, what’s the use of looking for your grandma? It was your grandma who suggested you to study.”
Da Bao’s eyes widened in disbelief. He looked like he had been betrayed.
The old lady turned her head and glared at Madam Liang. She coughed lightly to comfort him and said, “Dabao, I’m letting you study for your own good.”
“How am I good? Look at my hand. It’s almost crippled.”
“This…” After all, he was her grandson. Seeing his hand swollen like this, the old lady’s heart ached. She lowered her head and gently blew on it twice.
However, despite her heartache, she still firmly believed that Dabao should go to school.
However, she couldn’t say why, so she looked at Shu Yu for help.
Shu Yu was almost amused by the old lady’s expression. She walked to Dabao and pulled a stool over to sit opposite him. She asked him, “Da Bao, if you don’t like reading, what do you like?”
“I like to eat.”
The others were speechless. Only Shu Yu nodded. “If you like food, then do you want to be a chef in the future?”
“Chef?” No, he didn’t want to be anything. He just wanted to lie at home and have something to eat when he was hungry.
Shu Yu said, “That’s right. When you become a chef, you can eat whatever you want. You can even eat things that no one else has ever eaten before.”
Dabao swallowed his saliva. “Then I’ll be a chef.”
Shu Yu was speechless at his hasty decision. However, dreams could be changed.
“Then do you want to be a chef in your shop or another restaurant?”
“Of course, I’ll open my shop.”
Shu Yu continued to nod. “That’s a good idea. Look, you’re already eight years old now. It’s about time for you to start planning. For example, where would you open your shop? Where would the traffic be high? How many people would you need to hire in the shop? If you made money, who would take care of the money?”
“Of course, I should keep the money for myself. Why should I hand it over?”
Shu Yu shrugged helplessly. “But you don’t study and can’t read. Of course, you can’t understand the account book. Therefore, you have to find an accountant and let him help you manage the accounts and money. However, if the accountant knew a lot, he would fool you and take your money for himself. Anyway, even if he took the money away, you wouldn’t know. After all, you couldn’t read.”
“I, I…” Even though this matter had yet to take shape, Dabao was already panicking from her description. “Then I won’t open a shop. I’ll go to another restaurant to be a chef.”
“I see, but the chefs in other restaurants have to start from the firehead. The firehead cannot eat casually. Even if they eat, they can only eat the leftovers of others. Working in the kitchen for at least five to six years. For someone like you who can’t read, it might take you more than ten years.”
Dabao was shocked. “Doesn’t that mean I’ll have to eat leftovers for ten years?”
Shu Yu restrained her laughter and nodded seriously. “Yes.”
