Zhao Meilan always speaks the truth in this family. Now that she has said so, Su Mingzhe naturally does not dare to refute it, and others even less dare to do so.
Because of what had just happened, the dinner table suddenly became silent, and the only sound left in the room was the clatter of bowls and chopsticks, and the crisp tinkling sound from time to time.
The air seemed tense, and Su Mingzhe tried his best to break the silence. He frequently glanced at Su's mother's face during the meal, and saw that Su's mother's brows were slightly frowned, and the expression on her face was quite uncertain.
As time passed, Su Mingzhe became more and more anxious. Suddenly, his eyes glanced at Su Mingcheng, who was engrossed in eating, and his eyes lit up instantly.
'Yes, why did I forget this? 'Tian Dong' mentioned it again and again before leaving. Mingcheng is the one who hurts me the most.'
Su Mingzhe quickly kicked the bottom of the table a few times with his feet. Su Mingcheng's brows jumped. He looked up at his elder brother in confusion and quickly exchanged glances with him. He understood Su Mingzhe's eyes. It made him think.
Try to find a way to persuade Su's mother.
Su Mingcheng, who has been by Zhao Meilan's side all year round, has long since learned to watch what's going on. Su's mother's attitude is clearly one of lingering anger. I don't know what the elder brother said that offended my mother. Isn't he asking for trouble by stepping forward at this time?
But he also wanted Su's mother to go to the United States as soon as possible, so that he and Julie would be free.
'Well, I have to bite the bullet and do it.'
"mom?"
Su Mingzhe shouted tentatively, and Su's mother raised her eyes and asked calmly.
"Why, is there something wrong with you?"
Su Mingcheng scratched his head and said with a flattering smile: "That's not true. I just want to say that the lion's head made today is very delicious. I have been working overtime and haven't eaten at home for a long time. The takeaway is really terrible.
Yes, the food cooked by mom is still delicious."
Zhao Meilan relaxed her brows and revealed a smile: "Okay, when you are done with this period of time, come back and eat more. Mom will give it to you every day..."
Speaking of this, Mother Su's words suddenly stopped. She thought of Su Mingzhe at this time. The eldest son didn't know how to cook at all. It was really inconvenient for the eldest daughter-in-law to cook now that she was pregnant, and she didn't know that the younger couple
Do you usually eat well?
Moreover, Su Mingzhe stayed in the United States on the other side of the ocean all year round. Thousands of miles away, he rarely came back once a year and couldn't eat the dishes he cooked several times.
The change of expression on Zhao Meilan's face naturally did not escape Su Mingcheng's eyes. He immediately kicked the stunned eldest brother with his foot, smacked his lips towards Su's mother, and signaled Su Mingzhe to strike while the iron was hot and say a few words.
Su Mingzhe was a little unsure of the meaning in Su Mingcheng's eyes, but after Su Mingcheng reminded him, he noticed the change in the expression on his mother's face.
"Yes, the food at home is still delicious. Compared with the food at home, the food I eat in America is like pig food. It was fine before. When I was not pregnant, I could occasionally cook a few hometown dishes.
Now her belly is getting bigger and bigger, so we can only eat takeout."
While speaking, Su Mingzhe deliberately made a sad face, and his tone was full of distress.
Zhao Meilan's heart suddenly softened when she saw this. After all, it was a piece of flesh that fell off her body. Although the boss was far away in the United States and had no plans to return to China, his filial piety was truly filial. Since video calls became popular, whenever he had free time, he would
I always call home and ask for help, and I send money to my bank account during holidays.
The second son is close by and is considerate, but the young couple has always spent money lavishly. They spend more when they earn more. Not only do they not give money to the family, but they often have to pay part of it to them.
Zhao Meilan's eyes wandered back and forth between the two brothers, feeling very conflicted in her heart. The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh. It was really hard for her eldest son to be alone outside for so many years.
The child of a colleague at their hospital happened to be studying in the United States. She asked the colleague how much it would cost for her child to study in the United States per year. The result surprised her. She originally thought that giving 150,000 yuan a year would not do anything.
It was enough, but I learned from my colleagues that the money was not enough. In addition, except for the full amount of 150,000 yuan in the first year, the amount given in the next two years became less and less. The reason why the amount was small was because the family
I want to buy a house for Su Mingcheng and then start decorating it.
The Su family was not rich to begin with, and they spent money everywhere. Later, it was not that Zhao Meilan did not want to give the full amount, but that she really had no money to give. However, Su Mingzhe was very sensible and never took the initiative to mention money, even if he later gave less.
He never said anything.
Thinking of this, Zhao Meilan couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in her heart. She had really suffered a lot from her boss these years, and she cared too little for him.
'That's it, that's all, just promise him. If Wu Fei gives birth to a daughter, I'll just find an excuse to come back.'
"Mingzhe, go and apply for visas for me and your father tomorrow, and we will go to the United States with you later."
Su Mingzhe was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded hurriedly, and said with excitement: "Okay, okay, I will apply for visas for mom and dad tomorrow."
Su Mingcheng also breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was finally solved. Hey, luckily he was smart. If I wasn't here, my brother probably wouldn't have been able to do this.
"Mom, Lili and I will accompany you and dad to the mall to buy two new clothes this weekend. We can't let the American people look down on us. We want to go abroad in glory."
Zhao Meilan nodded with a smile, the child's pain was not in vain.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, but there's no need to go to the mall. The nearby Textile City is pretty good. Things are cheap and affordable. It's not easy for you two. You should save some of the money you earn. If you want to have a child or something in the future,
You can’t have no savings at all.”
In normal times, Su Mingcheng would definitely not pick up this conversation. As long as Su's mother found an opportunity, she would find every possible opportunity to urge the two of them to have a baby. But today was different. Su's mother was about to go abroad. It was okay to ask her to say a few words.
However, Su Mingcheng still glanced at Zhu Li secretly.
Zhu Li nodded slightly. Su Mingcheng received the leader's approval and immediately took over.
"Mom, listen to me, listen to me. Let's buy something better if we buy it. What you said is right. We should save some money. Even if it's not for the children, we have to think about it for you and dad. Don't worry.
Lili and I will pay attention to it in the future."
"Later, Lili and I will buy some things for you to take with you. Some things are easy to buy at home, but not so easy to buy over there..."
…
…
Su Mingcheng's little mouth felt as if it had been smeared with honey. With a few words, Su's mother was made happy, and she seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness in her heart before.
Su Mingzhe was wise enough not to disturb the conversation between Su Mingcheng and Su's mother. What the younger sister's boyfriend said was absolutely right. There are ways to deal with the mother or the younger brother. Although there were some twists and turns, fortunately, the return to China was completed smoothly.
