Over the weekend, Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li returned to the Su family's old house with the supplements they bought. Zhao Meilan finally relaxed when she saw that the two of them were carrying the supplements. Seeing that this month was about to pass, there was no movement at all from her younger son's side.
No.
"Lili, what do you want me to say about you? Why are you carrying so many things when you come here? Mom is not an outsider. You are going home! Besides, Mom has worked in the hospital for most of her life. These supplements
To be honest, it’s useless, and it’s expensive. It’s a waste of money. Listen to me and don’t buy it next time.”
Although Zhao Meilan kept talking and seemed to be complaining about her children's waste, in fact, she felt as if she had eaten candied dates, they were so sweet and she was so happy.
Zhu Li declined politely with a smile: "Mom, it's okay, it won't cost you a few dollars. Your body has always been relatively weak, so you need to take more supplements. Look at how good you look now. When you and I go out, others still look good."
I thought we two were sisters!"
Zhao Meilan smiled and shook her head. She looked good now not because of the supplements she took, but because she received a call from Su Mingzhe. Mingyu was finally willing to accept her again. When she was in a good mood, the complexion on her face naturally improved.
Got up.
The old couple plans to return to the United States at the end of next month. Perhaps because she feels that she owes her daughter too much, Zhao Meilan has become more selective about girls than boys. In the past, she always thought that Su Mingcheng was very good, but now she looks at it horizontally and vertically.
I don't feel very satisfied.
There is no gap if there is no comparison. Su Mingcheng is not as good as his eldest son Su Mingzhe in every aspect except his sweeter mouth. In addition, Zhao Meilan is eager to repair the relationship with Su Mingyu, so they decided to get married as soon as the visa time comes.
Come to America.
"By the way, Mom, I brought you the four thousand yuan that Mingcheng owes you." Zhu Li put down the things in her hands and took out cash from her bag as she spoke. The elderly are used to receiving cash, so
When she passed by an ATM on the way here in the morning, she went to withdraw four thousand yuan.
When Zhao Meilan heard the money was returned, the wrinkles on her face broke out with laughter. She took it and put it in her pocket. But Zhu Li said, "Mom, why don't you order a little?"
"No, no, no, how can I still not trust you, Lili?"
Zhu Li didn't say anything when she saw this. The reason why she just said that was purely because of her professional habits. She knew Su Mingcheng's temper very well, just like a child who hadn't grown up. After experiencing this incident, she thought
It is necessary to find out how much money Su Mingcheng owes his family in total so that he can have a clear idea, and then formulate a repayment plan and supervise Su Mingcheng's repayment every month.
In her values, no matter what, children cannot fail to pay back the money they owe their parents. After all, the parents-in-law have retired, and the retirement salary is not particularly high.
"Mom, how much money does Mingcheng still owe you now?"
Zhao Meilan was startled when she heard this, and subconsciously glanced at Su Mingcheng, who was standing behind Zhu Li. Su Mingcheng shook his head crazily to signal her not to say anything, not to say anything.
"Well, not much, not much."
Zhu Li turned her head and looked at Su Mingcheng suspiciously. As soon as Zhu Li turned her head, Su Mingcheng immediately stopped the expression on his face and acted like a wooden man.
Li used her toes to figure out why her mother-in-law paused just now, then glared at him fiercely, then turned to Zhao Meilan and said.
"Mom, don't worry about him. Just tell me."
Zhao Meilan looked embarrassed when she heard this, and was a little hesitant. Her eyes kept looking back and forth between Zhu Li and Su Mingcheng.
Seeing this, Zhu Li felt that things were not simple, otherwise her mother-in-law would not have shown such an expression. How much did Su Mingcheng owe the family?
"mom!"
After a while, Zhao Meilan sighed softly, turned around and walked towards the house.
"Oh, let me show it to you!"
She figured out that paper could not cover up the fire after all. Her daughter-in-law, Zhu Li, worked in auditing and had a delicate mind. Rather than being discovered by her afterwards, it was better to tell her the specific situation proactively to avoid the couple having another conflict over this matter.
.
"Old man, go get Mingcheng's, forget it, bring all the account books of Mingzhe, Mingcheng and Mingyu."
After the last kidnapping incident, Su Daqiang's treatment has skyrocketed. Zhao Meilan no longer uses him as a punching bag like in the past, and her tone of voice is much softer. During this time when she returned to Suzhou, she also took Su Daqiang with her.
I went to see Gusu Pingtan several times, and gradually, the relationship between the two of them eased a lot.
Su Daqiang is no longer as afraid of his wife as before. One time he went out without reporting it in advance. In the past, he would have been scolded. But this time, Zhao Meilan acted as if he hadn't seen her and didn't say anything. After that, Su Daqiang became bolder.
He even remembered a few times when he went out but deliberately didn't report it. However, he didn't dare to go too far. After all, Zhao Meilan had accumulated a lot of prestige over the years, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
As the saying goes, a country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change. Although Su Daqiang became bolder, his habit of escaping still did not change at all. After putting the account book on the table, he immediately stepped aside and sat down by the aisle.
On the small bench, he put his hands on his knees and leaned his back against the wall, silently lowering his head.
Zhao Meilan pushed the account book in front of Zhu Li and pointed at the cover: "These are all written with names. The top one is Mingyu's, the bottom three are Mingzhe's, and the last ones are Mingcheng's."
Zhu Li took a cursory look at the account books on the table. There were at least a dozen of them in a thick pile. When she heard that only one of them belonged to Mingyu, she couldn't help but feel very surprised. This thin one obviously couldn't be used.
There were too many records. Then I heard that Su Mingzhe had three books. I nodded slightly. This is normal.
However, when Zhao Meilan said that the rest was all Su Mingcheng's alone, Zhu Li's face turned red. It was embarrassing. Su Mingcheng's account book was much better than the two people combined.
After Zhao Meilan finished speaking, Zhu Li took out her mobile phone, silently opened the calculator that came with the system, and opened the account book without saying a word and started calculating line by line.
Tick, tick!
As she counted more and more, Zhu Li's head lowered unconsciously, wishing to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. She really didn't expect that Su Mingcheng and her had spent so much money at home over the years, and she blamed herself for it.
I was careless and didn't pay attention to this matter.
…………
Snap!
After finishing the last calculation, it was already dark outside without realizing it. After finishing the calculation, Julie was so ashamed that she didn't expect that she would inadvertently become the person she usually hates the most - a 'blood-sucking insect'!
Zhu Li pondered for a moment and made up her mind to pay back the money as soon as possible, even if she had a hard time. Say goodbye to any clothes, bags, cosmetics. If she can't pay the money in one day, she Zhu Li won't be able to pay it in one day.
beginning.
"Mom! Don't worry, Mingcheng and I will pay you back the money as soon as possible. In addition to the most basic living expenses every month, the remaining salary will be used to pay off the debt!"
