Chapter Four, this is ridiculous!
"What about characters? Have you learned them?" Wei Furong angrily shouted at Wei Hao.
Wang, the manager, heard it but made no comment. After all, bragging is not illegal. When Wei Hao was only five years old, he followed him. What skills he had, Wei Hao didn't even know.
There was no way, Wei Furong had to stop and point at Wei Hao with a cane, saying, "You little rascal, I told you not to leave the house, but you dared to climb over the wall and leave the mansion. The teacher came this afternoon and when he saw you weren't home, he got angry and left. You...you!"
Dad, it would be good enough if I can just copy it. Can you please not set the bar so high? You tell me, have I ever copied so much before?
"Let's go, I'm going home to ask my father for money." Wei Hao smiled and waved to Manager Wang, then got into the carriage.
“Will you listen to me till the end?” Wei Hao continued chasing and shouting.
"No, Dad, rest assured, I will not do anything illegal or immoral," Wei Hao immediately shook his head and said.
You spendthrift, this family will be ruined by you sooner or later," Wei Furong scolded while pointing at Wei Hao.
Upon hearing this, Wei Furong rolled his eyes and prepared to leave with a cane in hand. As for the money-making methods mentioned by Wei Hao, Wei Furong would never believe them, even if he were beaten to death.
Weihao nodded thoughtfully and then smiled, saying, "You don't understand! This is the best way to make money. Just wait and see, I will open a restaurant here, and I guarantee it will be the most prosperous business in the entire Tang Dynasty!"
"You, stop right there!" Wei Furong pointed at Wei Hao and said breathlessly.
Weifurong angrily picked up the rattan cane that had been placed on the table earlier, preparing to go and punish Weihao.
"What can you do, go and rob?" Wei Furong turned his head and shouted at Wei Hao.
"Thank you, Dad. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any losses!" Upon hearing Wei Furong's tone, Wei Hao agreed and immediately expressed his gratitude.
After hearing this, Wei Furong turned his head and looked at Wei Hao.
Upon hearing this, Wei Furong immediately picked up the rattan cane from the table and chased after him. Wei Hao hurriedly ran away while shouting, "Father, if you don't give it to me, I will go to Wei Cong tomorrow and ask him for money. If he doesn't give it to me, I will fight him. Do you want to give that money to him or to me!"
Upon hearing it, Wei Furong turned his head and stared at Manager Wang.
"Oh my, what on earth have I given birth to?" Wei Furong was so heartbroken. This child is nothing but trouble, causing a deficit of several thousand guan at home and still continuing to cause trouble. When will this ever come to an end?"
"Fool, stop right there. I can't kill you, and yet you dare to climb over the wall and run away?" Wei Furong saw Wei Hao running and chased after him while shouting at him.
Master, the dishes here are not much better than those in our previous restaurant. Such dishes would cost only 30 wen in our restaurant, but here they cost over 100 wen.
Dad, if you don't give me the money, I will go to Wei Cong's house tomorrow and demand it from him. If he doesn't give it to me, I will beat him up again, and then you will have to pay a lot of money! Wei Hao was not moved by this threat and immediately threatened Wei Furong.
Get lost! We Fu Rong glared at Wei Hao fiercely.
Although Wei Furong's tone is very disheartened and desolate, Wei Hao can't care about that much anymore. This fool in his heart is not going to change for a while, but he does need to change.
Dad, whether it can be summed up in one sentence or not, if you don't believe in your child, your child will think of another solution.
Weihao is not trying to argue, there is no way, he did indeed spend a bit recklessly before, but he is not the same Weihao as before, it's just that he can't tell Weirong about it, the key now is to get money.
Meanwhile, at the Wei household, Wei Furong was too full of himself to eat. In the afternoon, he finally managed to persuade a teacher to come to his home and tutor Wei Hao. However, when the teacher arrived, Wei Hao was not in the courtyard. He had climbed over the wall and run away.
Dad, let me tell you, the people in Dongcheng are all fools with too much money. They charge over 100 wen for such a terrible meal. It's so easy to make money like this! I guarantee that if we open a restaurant there, we will definitely make money, and a lot of it." Wei Hao leaned there, trying to persuade Wei Furong, but Wei Furong seemed uninterested in him.
Weihao followed Weifurong into the living room.
For now, I'll spare you this time. Starting from tomorrow, you are not allowed to leave the house! Wei Furong warned Wei Hao while pointing at him with a rattan cane.
However, when the four signature dishes arrived, Wei Hao was extremely disappointed. They had no taste at all, even though good ingredients were used. The flavor was just not good. Moreover, Wei Hao had to spend 100 wen on such dishes, which made Manager Wang feel heartbroken.
No, Dad, I have something to discuss with you. I went out for a while today, just to find a way to make money. I feel guilty for causing so much loss to the family before, but this time I will make it up to you.
Then you lend me 600 guan, Wei Hao still stubbornly said to Wei Furong, and Wei Furong couldn't be bothered to listen.
Hey, Dad, don't go, okay? As soon as Wei Hao saw Wei Furong leaving like that, he immediately followed.
There's no way, can't catch up, can't hit it, can only go down the stairs, otherwise it's very embarrassing.
The teacher had heard of Wei Hao's "reputation" before, knowing that this person was difficult to teach and had driven away many teachers. Now that he heard Wei had jumped over the wall and run away, the teacher thought that teaching here in the future would definitely not be easy, so he took his leave, saying that he would never teach again.
Wei Furong raised the rattan cane in his hand, and Wei Hao immediately stopped. Only then did he remember that he still had the rattan cane in his hand. It would be safer to keep a distance at this time, as there was a possibility of being whipped if he approached.
"I have finished copying what you said I needed to do before I can leave. You didn't keep your promise and now you blame me?" Wei Hao retorted immediately.
Wei Hao went into the restaurant and found that there were many people here. Judging from their clothing, they were all well-off individuals, unlike the restaurants in the West City where all kinds of people can be found. Wei Hao went in and ordered four signature dishes.
Master, the young master has returned. Wei Hao had just gotten off the carriage when a servant went to inform Wei Furong.
Wei Hao stopped from a distance when he saw how sad he was. After thinking for a moment, he said to Wei Furong, "Dad, can't you trust me once? If you just trust me, I promise not to fight for a month. Whoever hits me, I won't fight back!"
How about this? According to what you said, I would have to pay a lot of money for fighting every month. I promise not to cause trouble for a month, so give me the money!
When he was about to reach Wei Hao's side, Wei Hao accelerated again and ran behind Wei Furong.
No way, this is the only son in the family. If there were one more, he would strangle himself.
Do you know what? Is it really that easy to open a restaurant in Dongcheng? There are no less than ten restaurants opening in Dongcheng every year, but only one can survive for more than a year. The rent in Dongcheng is so expensive that you have to sign a one-year lease. If you lose money, you can only blame yourself.
Furthermore, there is no one behind Dongcheng. If there is a disturbance at the restaurant, you won't be able to quell it. You might even end up losing your life. Remember what happened to the Wang family in Xicheng? They had a restaurant in Dongcheng and offended the people from the Zhao State Duke's Mansion. Their whole family was ruined and lives were lost. Stop causing trouble for your father. Stay away from me. Don't provoke me. I don't know what sins I've committed in this lifetime to have a child like you!" Wei Furong shouted angrily at Wei Hao.
At this moment, Wei Furong is extremely frustrated, but unable to catch up.
I have already made concessions, can't you make some too? I have copied a whole book, ask the people in my yard if I didn't copy it word by word. I worked so hard and can't even go out for a walk. Besides, ask Manager Wang if I caused any trouble when I went out today. Wei Hao pointed to Manager Wang who was anxiously standing in the distance as he spoke.
"Don't... Don't run!" Wei Furong continued to chase and said.
"Master, the young master really didn't cause any trouble this time," said Manager Wang hastily. But in his heart, he was thinking that whistling at the princess was not a big deal, after all, she wouldn't come looking for him.
"Hmm?" Wei Furong was at a loss for words.
Dad, are you home? I have something to tell you! Wei Hao saw Wei Furong coming out of the living room and was happy that he didn't have to look for him everywhere. But when he saw the rattan cane in his hand and the angry, livid face, Wei Hao had a bad feeling and turned around to run.
Where would Wei Hao stop? Only a fool would stop. After running for a while, Wei Hao realized that Wei Furong was still chasing him, as if he wouldn't be satisfied until he caught Wei Hao.
Dad, what are you doing? Don't chase after him, your body is weak and overweight.
Wei Furong sat in the middle of the living room, while Wei Hao leaned against the doorway.
"Dad, you're overweight. It's not good to exercise so vigorously. Can we stop and talk about something properly? " Wei Hao ran for a while, stopped, and waited for Wei Furong, who was chasing after him, to catch up and said.
Wei Furong stood up at this moment, holding a cane, looking quite hunched. Wei Hao also felt a bit sorry when he saw this, but making money was a big deal.
"Alas, never mind, if I fail, then so be it. I, Wei Furong, have done so many good deeds in my life, but in the end, I will suffer the fate of losing my family and perishing. Heavens, how unfair!" Wei Furong looked up at the sky at this moment, sighing.
Okay, I stopped and give you a chance!
At this moment, Wei Furong stopped chasing and instead sat on a stone bench, feeling extremely sad.
Dad, your vision is too poor. You only think about opening a restaurant in Xicheng. How much money can you earn from that? Wei Hao wanted to provoke Wei Furong to speak, but he could only belittle him first.
