Little Bei was learning idioms. When she heard Shao Xi's words, she immediately started forming a sentence with an idiom she had learned. "Daddy, you're quite 'lucky with women' today."
Shao Qihai: "Little Bei, don't spout nonsense."
Previously, he had actually hoped that the children would help him. Now, it was becoming painfully obvious that it was more likely that they would dig a hole to entrap him. For example, today, Shao Xi was digging the hole and Little Bei was filling it with soil. It was infuriating.
Shao Qihai spent two days acknowledging this reality and completely gave up on the thought of asking Shao Dong and Shao Xi to help.
Rather than waiting for them to help, he might as well do it himself. At least he wouldn't do himself in.
Shao Qihai was right, but he had overlooked a fact—the kids' actions weren't something he could decide. It wasn't like he wouldn't be scammed if he didn't want to be scammed.
