A month later, after the meeting in the evening, Zhu Li stretched out contentedly, with a trace of flush still remaining on her face. She glanced at Su Mingcheng, who was panting. His performance today was far different from before.
The communication was not positive at all. Could it be that he has someone outside?
"Husband, why are you acting so poorly today!"
Su Mingcheng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "It's not that bad! You didn't even look at how many times you asked for it, five times! Do you think I'm still the cool guy I was when we first met? Look,
Look at the wrinkles on my face. I will be thirty in a few years. Hey, the old saying is true. There are only exhausted cows in this world, and there is no damaged land."
Zhu Li chuckled and rolled her eyes at Su Mingcheng. She let him go today. Then she thought that she hadn't gone back to the old house to see her parents-in-law this month. Tomorrow happened to be the weekend, so it was time to go back and see her.
"Okay, I guess you're right. I'll spare you this time. Husband, let's go back to our old house to see our parents tomorrow and weekend. We haven't been back for some days. It's weird."
When Su Mingcheng heard that he was going back to his old house, he didn't say a word. He didn't dare to go back. He originally promised to pay back the money, but a few days ago, his friend persuaded him to change the exhaust of the car, which completely drained his pocket.
, how could he have the nerve to go back?
"I'm asking you a question!" Zhu Li saw that Su Mingcheng was silent and started to pretend to be asleep, so she kicked him hard in anger.
Su Mingcheng pretended to be confused and said: "Ah? I have to work overtime at the company tomorrow and I don't have time. Lili, why don't you go there alone? By the way, my mother is anemic. Remember to buy some Gillian. I bought her last time.
It should be finished."
Zhu Li stared at Su Mingcheng's face suspiciously: "No, it's very wrong. Husband, something has been wrong with you recently. In the past, at the end of every month, you would take the initiative to go back to see your parents without me having to say anything. Why is there no movement this month?"
None?"
Su Mingcheng yawned and squinted his eyes before replying: "The company has taken on a big project recently. I'm busy. I will definitely go back several times when I'm done."
'When two months are over, my parents should be leaving for the United States. Hehe, it will take a while.'
Zhu Li sneered. She didn't know what was going on inside Su Mingcheng's company. Where were the big projects recently? This was clearly a lie to her.
"Tell me, what are you hiding from me?"
It's not a glorious thing to nibble on one's old age. Su Mingcheng didn't have the nerve to say it out loud, so he hummed for a long time.
"Please hide anything from you. Besides, how dare I? I've been really busy lately."
Zhu Li's pretty face turned cold, and she took the phone on the bedside and raised it: "Do you want me to call Meng Xiaoxiao now and ask?"
Su Mingcheng suddenly felt like something was tugging at his heart. How could he have forgotten this? Meng Xiaoxiao was the wife of Xu Wenxu, a colleague in his company. Zhu Li knew her because he brought her with him. It was a mistake. It was a mistake. Seeing the lie exposed,
My thoughts raced for a while, thinking of some good excuse to deal with it.
Got it!
"Honey, you know I changed the exhaust a few days ago, right?"
"Well, I know, what's wrong?"
"Hehe, didn't I promise my mother last month that I would repay the money I borrowed before, but I spent the money on impulse. I really don't have the shame to go back. I'll wait until my salary is paid next month.
Give it back."
Zhu Li nodded, reluctantly accepting this statement. Su Mingcheng asked her mother-in-law about borrowing money. She knew more or less, but she didn't know exactly how much she borrowed and how much she repaid, because the money was all through Su.
She never asked what Mingcheng's hand contained. As a man, he had to have some private money of his own. Besides, his father-in-law and mother-in-law were retired and couldn't give Su Mingcheng much.
"No, you go back with me tomorrow. Tell me how much it is in total. I will pay you back. Since you promised mom, you can't go back on it."
Su Mingcheng slowly stretched out four fingers.
"four thousand?"
Su Mingcheng nodded hastily. He didn't dare to tell Zhu Li the specific amount, otherwise his image would be completely ruined.
"Four thousand?" Zhu Li muttered again. Although her salary is higher than Su Mingcheng's, her expenses are also higher. She buys new cosmetics, clothes or bags almost every month.
However, 4,000 yuan is still within her tolerance range. The worst she can do is bite the bullet and resist the desire to shop this month. After all, her mother-in-law has retired. Although she has a retirement salary, the money is not much. For her, 4,000 yuan is not much.
It's a few pieces of new clothes, which is probably a month or two's living expenses for my mother-in-law.
"Okay, I've paid for the money. Come home with me tomorrow. Su Mingcheng, please pay attention to me in the future. The car is just for transportation. What's the use of changing it all day long?"
Su Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief and finally coped with it. He said with a smile: "Honey, you are so kind to me! I promise! I will never do modifications again!"
"Okay, get ready to go to bed. I'm going to take a shower first, and you'll give me a shower later too. I'm covered in stinky sweat!"
"Dele! I obey! Wife, go take a shower first, or do you want to have a small meeting?"
Zhu Li glanced at Su Mingcheng with disdain: "Are you sure? Didn't you just say no?"
How can a man say no? Su Mingcheng puffed up his chest unconsciously and said boldly: "You will know if you try it or not!"
"Haha, just give it a try!"
Boom! Boom!
…………
"Oh, my wife, please be gentle, be gentle, I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore!"
"Hey, you were so proud just now, you said, admit defeat or not!"
"I admit it, I admit it, wife, can't I admit it?"
"Haha, that's pretty much it. I'll see if you keep talking harder in the future!"
"I don't dare anymore! I don't dare anymore!"
…………
Palo Alto, United States, after a storm, Su Mingyu was lying in Li Jie's arms, staring at the ceiling above her head, and said weakly.
"Tiandong, did you say that my mother will become the same as before in a while?"
Li Jie gently scratched her nose and said with a smile: "Fool, what are you thinking? Didn't I analyze it with you? This time your mother, no, our mother, should have really repented, life and death
There are countless examples of great enlightenment and enlightenment from ancient times.”
"Bah! Who is your mother! I haven't promised you yet!"
Li Jie glanced sideways at Su Mingyu: "Do you still want to listen?"
Su Mingyu raised her head and kissed Li Jie's neck suddenly, and said flatteringly: "Listen, listen, I won't interrupt, okay."
Li Jie smiled slightly, reached out and stroked her hair gently and continued: "Mingyu, you should give your mother a chance, and also give yourself a chance. Sometimes if you don't take this first step, you will always be in the same place.
How can we know the way forward if we take steps forward?"
Su Mingyu pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Well, I will try it."
