Chapter 146: Tragic past, settling accounts

Su Mingyu was loyal to Lao Meng and would not doubt him, but Zhou Chen felt that he needed to defend Su Mingyu.

But after what he said, Su Mingyu didn't take it to heart. Instead, she advised him not to think so much and just leave the business in the mall to her.

Zhou Chen knew that Su Mingyu didn't want him to bother, so he could only sigh secretly and say no more, but privately decided that if there was a chance, he would have a good chat with Liu Qing.

Liu Qing usually seems unreliable, but she treats Su Mingyu from the bottom of her heart and is trustworthy.

The next day was a rest day. Zhou Chen and Su Mingyu went to the Su family's old house early in the morning. Zhou Chen drove the car this time.

Walking into the alley, a large group of memories appeared in Zhou Chen's mind. These were memories from his childhood.

"This is your first time back in ten years. How do you feel?" Su Mingyu asked Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen looked at everything here and felt very strange.

"To be honest, I don't feel anything at all. It's just a bit familiar, but also very strange."

After arriving at the Su family's old house, they found that Su Daqiang and Su Mingcheng had already arrived and were sitting there waiting for them.

Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li sat together, while Su Daqiang sat alone by the wall.

Zhou Chen walked into the room and sat down, while Su Mingyu walked to the door of the room and asked Su Daqiang: "Dad, Mingyang and I are back. If anything happens, just tell us."

Su Daqiang's expression was dull, his hands rubbed his thighs restlessly, and he did not answer.

"Dad, if you don't tell me, Mingyang and I will leave."

Su Daqiang quickly said: "Mingyu."

"Mingyu, Mingyang, I can't go to your eldest brother's place. Your second brother, second sister-in-law, and I just want to discuss with you where I will live in the future, as well as the issues of pension and alimony. You

Just sit here and talk about what to do."

Zhou Chen didn't say anything, because on the way here, Mingyu had already told him that she would handle today's affairs and asked him not to agree to anything casually with Su Daqiang.

Su Mingyu smiled and said: "Dad, what else is there to say? It depends on you. As far as I'm concerned, you currently have four choices."

When Su Daqiang heard this, he immediately felt happy, "Are there four choices?"

"Yes, the first one is what I said before, go to my place and live with me and Mingyang."

"No." Su Daqiang refused without hesitation.

"Okay, let's talk about the second and third options. In fact, these two options are almost the same. One is to live in my house outside the city, and I will find a nanny for you. The nanny fee is mine."

"Still not going." Su Daqiang refused again.

Su Mingyu smiled: "Dad, seeing that you don't want to live with me or my house, it seems that you have not forgotten the agreement we made back then. Okay, then I will continue to talk about other options..."

"etc."

Su Mingcheng, who was pretending to read the newspaper, suddenly interrupted, "What agreement do you mean? Did you make it with your parents?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Su Mingyu's lips: "It seems you don't know yet."

"We don't know. Su Mingyu, I called you here today just to talk about dad's future support. If you have anything to say, just say it and don't ramble on."

As soon as Su Mingcheng opened his mouth, Zhu Li next to him also agreed and said: "Yes, Mingyu, Mingyang, today we are all sitting together to discuss the issue of dad's support. Since you said that this agreement is related to today's topic,

Then you should speak out and let us know."

"Second sister-in-law is right, Mingyang, what do you think?"

"I don't care. It's all old news anyway, and there's nothing shameful about it."

Zhou Chen really didn't care. Even things like going to jail were known to his relatives and friends. Those things in his childhood were really nothing.

Su Mingyu asked Su Daqiang again: "Dad, you don't have any objections, right?"

Su Daqiang kept silent and pretended to be dead out of habit.

Su Mingyu had seen this scene countless times, so she didn't take it to heart. She walked to sit down next to Zhou Chen and told Zhu Li about the past.

"It's like this, second sister-in-law, back then, this old house belonged to our family both upstairs and downstairs. My parents lived downstairs, and our four brothers and sisters lived upstairs."

"The eldest brother lives in the same room, Su Mingcheng lives in the same room, and Mingyang and I live in the same room. In fact, there was no problem in the beginning, but later on, Mingyang and I grew up. As you know, second sister-in-law, when boys and girls grow up, it's not so easy.

It’s suitable for living in one room, right?”

Julie nodded. This is basic common sense. Even siblings who are close to each other cannot live in the same room when they grow up.

"When I was in fifth grade, in order to take care of me, Mingyang wanted to live with his eldest brother and Su Mingcheng. Haha, it's funny. He originally decided to live in the same room with Su Mingcheng, but Su Mingcheng refused to agree and even asked Mingcheng to live in the same room.

Yang's things were thrown out and Mingyang was not allowed to come in. Anyway, Mingyang was not allowed to live in his room."

"Su Mingcheng, am I telling the truth?"

Su Mingcheng looked ugly and did not refute.

This made Julie, who was sitting next to her, look equally ugly. She didn't expect Su Mingcheng to treat his brother like this.

"Su Mingcheng refused to let him live, and his parents had no choice but to arrange Mingyang to his eldest brother's room. But Mingyang lived with his eldest brother for less than a week, and his eldest brother kicked him out because he said Ming Yang was affecting his studies.

come out;

But even so, Mingyang was not willing to share a room with me for my own good, but I couldn't possibly see Mingyang having no place to sleep, so I forced him to go back to our room."

"I lived like this for another three years, until I was in the third year of junior high school. In order not to embarrass me, Mingyang chose to live on campus."

"Later, when Mingyang and I were taking the high school entrance examination, our family was poor, so my parents decided to let me give up high school and study nursing. I didn't want to, so we had a big fight. Later, Mingyang took the initiative to choose to study for a job.

The school gave me the opportunity to study in high school."

"When I was in high school, my family sold a room upstairs to send my eldest brother to study in the United States. Later, Su Mingcheng wanted to work and sold another room. As a result, I had no room and had to live with him.

My parents sleep in the same room."

"When Mingyang was in vocational school, he used all the living expenses he saved to buy me teaching materials and daily necessities. When I was in my senior year of high school, I knew that my family was not willing to let me take the entrance examination at Shuimu University, so I had a big fight with my parents when I came back.

, and then he comforted me, saying that he wanted to make money to help me get into Shuimu University."

"In fact, he did make money. That half year can be said to be the richest period of time in my eighteen years of life. I had money to buy the books I wanted, money to attend cram schools, and I had the confidence to go back to school.

Relying on my parents, I can confidently get admitted to Shuimu University."

Listening to Su Mingyu's account, Zhu Li felt that her throat was uncomfortable and her eyes were a little sour, as if something was about to flow down.

Having been influenced by Su Mingcheng before, she had a bad impression of Su Mingyu and Zhou Chen. She felt that they were too unkind, and she was full of disgust towards Zhou Chen, who had been in prison.

But hearing the story of their siblings made her extremely shocked and guilty. Compared to Zhou Chen, her husband Su Mingcheng was really too ignorant.

Compared to Su Mingcheng and his eldest brother Su Mingcheng, Zhou Chen and Su Mingyu are the real siblings.

Not to mention Zhu Li, even the person involved, Su Mingyu, choked up a little when she said this. Looking back on those years, she felt that she owed her brother too much.

"Good times are destined to last forever. On the eve of the college entrance examination that year, when Mingyang was working in a bar, a classmate who worked with him was bullied. He went to avenge the injustice and got into a fight with the customer, seriously injuring him.

.”

"Haha, it's funny to say that after the accident, his classmate disappeared and put all the responsibility on Ming Yang, causing Ming Yang to be arrested by the police station; the injured person wanted to mediate privately, but the condition was that we

The family will give enough compensation.”

"The funniest thing happened. After knowing that it would cost tens of thousands in compensation, my parents refused to pay and didn't even go to the police station to see Mingyang. I had no choice but to go find relatives in order to save Mingyang.

I borrowed money, but no one was willing to lend it to me, because my parents had already warned me that if relatives borrowed money, they would not help pay it back."

“When my biological son was arrested, my biological parents didn’t want to save him, but stopped me from saving him. Isn’t it funny?

To be honest, at that moment, I really felt that the sky was falling. I felt that the whole world had abandoned Ming Yang. Even at that moment, I thought about dying together with Ming Yang. Anyway, apart from each other, there was no one else.

If no one else cares about us, we might as well die and be done with it."

"But that's just a thought. In fact, I don't have the courage. Mingyang is locked up in a detention center, and sentencing will take time. If Mingyang is not rescued before sentencing, he will really go to jail. I have no choice but to

Please beg your parents if you can come back."

"In the end, I gave up the entrance examination to Shuimu University and agreed to go to the free normal school arranged by my mother. I borrowed money from them in my own name and promised to repay it double in the future. Finally, they were willing to pay to save Mingyang.

"

"After Mingyang was rescued, he did not go home. Instead, he left alone to work. And I also worked part-time while I was in college. It took the two of us three full years to pay off the debt.

money.”

"After paying off the money, I drew a clear line with my parents and signed an agreement. The general meaning is that if they die of old age, they don't need me to support them until they die. From now on, the Su family's

The matter has nothing to do with me anymore."

Su Mingyu suddenly seemed to remember something again, and said to Zhu Li: "By the way, second sister-in-law, when Mingyang and I paid back the money, you and Su Mingcheng were about to get married at that time, so maybe the money would be sent right away.

use."

Zhu Li suddenly felt nauseated. Thinking that the money she used to get married to Su Mingcheng was obtained in this way, she was really going crazy.

Su Mingcheng growled angrily: "Su Mingyu, you said all this yourself. Who knows if what you said is true? Mom is not the kind of person you say."

In his memory, his mother was the kindest and kindest person. It was absolutely impossible for her to do the things Su Mingyu said, absolutely impossible.

Su Mingyu sneered: "Isn't that true? You didn't say that. If you don't believe it, you can ask dad."

Su Mingcheng immediately looked at Su Daqiang excitedly: "Dad, tell me."

Su Daqiang remained silent, as if what Su Mingyu just said had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Su Daqiang was silent, Su Mingcheng became very angry and yelled at Su Daqiang angrily.

"Dad, please speak. You can't let Su Mingyu frame you and mom like this. Please speak."

"Su Mingcheng, shut up."

Zhu Li, who was already ashamed, saw that Su Mingcheng was still forcing Su Daqiang, and yelled at him angrily.

"Lili, I..."

"Stop talking, I told you not to push dad."

Zhu Li had never felt so embarrassed. The more she thought about it, the more disgusting and uncomfortable she felt. She finally understood why Su Mingyu and Zhou Chen were so cold to Su Mingcheng and why they were so cold to the Su family. It turned out that there was such a secret hidden in them.

After Su Mingcheng was scolded by Zhu Li, although he did not force Su Daqiang anymore, he still shook his head in disbelief.

"It's impossible. Mom will never be that kind of person. It's absolutely impossible..."

Su Mingyu said again: "Second sister-in-law, if you still don't believe it, there is another way to prove what I said. My dad likes to keep accounts the most. He has been keeping accounts for decades. He has several account books, and every account in the family is

I remember every expense clearly.”

"Su Mingyu, you must be sick. You just said that your mother is not your mother, and now you are talking about the account books. What do you mean? If you don't want to support your father, just say it. There is no need to beat around the bush like this." Su Mingcheng shouted at Su Mingyu angrily.

Hearing this, Zhou Chen said to Su Daqiang a little impatiently: "Dad, don't delay. Take out your account books. There should be a result after such a mess."

Su Daqiang hesitated for a moment, and finally walked into the back room and took out the account book.

There are many ledgers, among which Su Mingzhe, Su Mingyu and Zhou Chen only have one in total, while Su Mingcheng has as many as seven or eight.

Zhu Li took the account books of Zhou Chen and Su Mingyu, Su Mingcheng took the account books of Su Mingzhe, and Su Mingyu took the account books of Su Mingcheng.

Zhou Chen was also curious and took a look at Su Mingcheng's account book, but after reading a few pages, he lost interest.

Although he didn't despise Su Mingcheng for chewing on his old age, as the saying goes, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

Mother is willing to give the money to Su Mingcheng, but others really have no choice but to say anything, because the money was earned by the couple themselves, and they are qualified to decide how to use it.

On the contrary, Su Daqiang's behavior made people even more speechless.

If you don't want to give, you can say it right then and there instead of secretly keeping accounts. What is the purpose of keeping accounts?

It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, let alone such a father and such a naughty son, it is even more difficult to sort out.

When Julie settled all the accounts, she was really speechless.

There are four brothers and sisters, but the youngest brother spends the least money. Even the other three people’s combined expenses are not as much as Su Mingcheng alone.

Needless to say, the final result was that after reading the account books, Zhu Li, who had a strong self-esteem, felt ashamed and made the decision that they would support Su Daqiang in the future.
