Su Mingyu drove Wang Gang to the funeral parlor. At this time, the makeup artist of the funeral company was handling Zhao Meilan's remains.
Seeing Zhao Meilan's body, Wang Gang did not howl like Su Mingzhe in the TV series, but seemed very silent.
To be honest, although Wang Gang has Su Mingzhe's memory, he has not inherited Su Mingzhe's emotions, and his feelings for his parents are not too deep.
Over the years, Wang Gang agreed with Wu Fei to settle in the United States, partly because he wanted to escape.
Seeing Zhao Meilan's body today, Wang Gang felt a little sad, but it was only sad, not too sad.
To be honest, there have been some minor conflicts between him and Zhao Meilan in recent years.
The source of the conflict lies in his daughter Xiaomi.
Zhao Meilan has a very serious concept of patriarchal preference. After Xiaomi was born, Wang Gang invited Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan to come to the United States. Of course, he did not ask them to serve Wu Fei during confinement.
The United States is a place where money can solve all problems. Wang Gang is not short of money. His annual income as an associate professor at Stanford is more than $160,000, and he has no pressure on mortgage and car payments. He can afford to hire a nanny to take care of Wu Fei.
He invited Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan to go to the United States because he wanted them to meet his biological granddaughter. However, when Zhao Meilan heard that she was a girl, she didn't want to go to the United States at all.
Not only that, Zhao Meilan called Wang Gang more than once to ask Wu Fei to have a second child. What she said was that she wanted to give birth to a boy.
Because of this, Wu Fei had a bad temper with Wang Gang, and they still refuse to do it again.
Wang Gang had no choice but to avoid Zhao Meilan because he couldn't afford to offend her. He stayed in the United States and had no intention of returning to China to avoid causing trouble between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Now that Zhao Meilan is gone, all conflicts have been resolved. Wang Gang observed a moment of silence and then said to the makeup artist:
"I'm sorry to trouble you about my mother. She cared about face the most during her lifetime, and she also hopes to go away beautifully after her death."
The makeup artist said with a guarantee: "Don't worry! I have been in this business for more than ten years and have done all kinds of makeup. I guarantee that your mother will be able to go on the road with peace of mind."
Wang Gang took out a paper bag, stuffed it into the makeup artist's hand, and looked at Zhao Meilan one last time.
Because of the car accident, Zhao Meilan had many scars on her face and body. Fortunately, they can be repaired through makeup skills, but it just takes some effort.
Leave professional matters to professionals, and the only thing Wang Gang can do is spend some money.
Wang Gang took a deep breath, turned to Su Mingyu and said, "Mom wants face most during her lifetime, and she must be buried with great splendor after her death. Please contact the funeral company and raise the funeral specifications one level, and I will make up for the money."
Su Mingyu saw Wang Gang's serious face and said nothing. In fact, she believed that funerals were held for living people, so there was no need to make them too big, as long as the standards were acceptable.
After contacting the funeral company, Su Mingyu took Wang Gang to Su Mingcheng's home to visit Su Daqiang.
The community where Su Mingcheng's family lives is located in the suburbs of Suzhou City. It is a very good community with complete supporting facilities. It is not far from the city and there are subways and buses. Although it is not very high-end, it is still above average.
When they first bought this house, Wang Gang, Su Mingcheng and Zhao Meilan also had some unpleasant moments.
Mainly because of money.
Su Mingcheng lives on a monthly basis and cannot afford the down payment for a wedding room. He also wants to marry Zhu Li, so he can only ask his mother, Zhao Meilan, for help.
Zhao Meilan felt most distressed about her second son. In the end, she used the pension money Wang Gang gave them to pay the down payment for Su Mingcheng's wedding house.
After Wang Gang learned about it, he felt very uncomfortable, so he argued with Zhao Meilan for a few words, which almost led to a quarrel.
In the end, Zhao Meilan also knew that she was unreasonable, so she asked Su Mingcheng to write an IOU to Wang Gang, but he never paid back a penny for so many years.
Wang Gang also had some opinions on Su Mingcheng, an old man.
Later, when Su Mingcheng got the house and held a wedding with Zhu Li, Wang Gang also used Wu Fei's pregnancy as an excuse to not return to China to attend the wedding.
Theoretically, Wang Gang paid for Su Mingcheng's house, but he had never been there even once. It was Su Mingyu who brought him here so that he would not look for the wrong door.
Wang Gang knocked on the door, and it was Zhu Li who opened the door. Zhu Li's appearance has not changed much after several years, but her youthfulness has faded a little.
"Brother, Mingyu." Zhu Li greeted Wang Gang and Su Mingyu timidly.
"Hello, sister-in-law." As soon as Wang replied, Su Mingyu became much more indifferent and just nodded.
Before Wang Gang entered the door, he heard Su Daqiang's miserable cry.
"Mingzhe! You are back!"
Su Daqiang rushed over and hugged Wang Gang directly.
"Dad, it's okay, I'm back." Wang Gang comforted Su Daqiang and moved him to the sofa in the living room.
Su Mingyu helped Wang Gang carry his luggage, and Zhu Li was responsible for closing the door.
Su Mingcheng, who was originally sitting on the single-seat sofa, twitched the corner of his mouth.
Wang Gang effortlessly placed Su Daqiang on the double sofa. Su Daqiang was crying the whole time.
"Mingzhe! How can I live if your mother is gone!" Su Daqiang howled very loudly, but there were not many tears in his eyes, which was a little fake.
After Zhao Meilan passed away, Su Daqiang, the master of heaven and earth, came online!
"Dad, Mom is gone, but you still have our three children." Wang Gang comforted.
Su Daqiang lay down and rested his head on Wang Gang's thigh.
"With your mother gone, I don't dare to go back to my old home."
Wang Gang looked at Su Mingcheng in confusion, and Su Mingcheng said: "Ever since mom left, dad always said he could see ghosts and didn't dare to go back to his old house."
Su Mingyu was sitting on the deck chair on the balcony, replying to messages on her mobile phone and dealing with company matters, while listening to the conversation in the living room, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
If you haven't done anything wrong, how can you be afraid of ghosts?
Su Mingyu had actually always had doubts about Zhao Meilan's death, but one was her mother and the other was her father, and the backs and palms of their hands were full of flesh, so she pretended to be confused.
"Dad, are you hallucinating? Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?" Wang Gang suddenly thought of Alzheimer's disease and was worried that Su Daqiang was suffering from the disease.
Su Mingcheng said angrily: "My parents just had a physical examination a month ago and they are in very good health."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Su Mingcheng choked up a little as he spoke, maybe thinking of Zhao Meilan, a good person who was gone after saying no.
Among the three children of the Su family, to say that they have a deep relationship with Zhao Meilan, it depends on Su Mingcheng. He has grown old and grown old, but his feelings for his mother cannot be fake.
"Dad, what are your plans for the future? Mom is gone and you don't want to live in the old house. Where do you want your three children to live?" Although Wang Gang knew the answer, he still asked.
Su Daqiang cried: "You should send me to a nursing home!"
When Su Mingcheng heard this, he became anxious and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? You have three children. If others knew that we sent you to a nursing home, you wouldn't be stabbed in the back!"
You make your own choice, you can live wherever you want with me and my eldest brother!"
When Zhu Li heard her husband Su Mingcheng's words, she couldn't help but frown, and her face was slightly unhappy, but she didn't show up because of her face.
Su Mingyu put down her phone at this time and said to Su Daqiang: "Dad, if you don't want to live with me from now on, I will hire a nanny to take care of you."
"I don't want to go to your house." Su Daqiang shook his head like a rattle.
"Then you stay at my place. Anyway, you have been staying at my place for the past few days and you are used to it." Su Mingcheng said.
"When your mother was here, she often came to your house to clean up the house. When she was tired, she would sit on the deck chair under Mingyu and bask in the sun." Su Daqiang said with some fear.
Su Mingcheng sighed: "You don't want to live with me, and you don't want to go with Su Mingyu. Do you want to go back to the United States with your elder brother?"
Su Daqiang's eyes lit up slightly, but he quickly hid it, but was still discovered by Wang Gang.
"Dad, do you want to go to the United States?" Wang Gang asked tentatively.
Su Daqiang started crying again, and cried to Zhao Meilan's portrait: "Meilan! If you leave, why don't you take me with you!"
Wang Gang was helpless when he saw Su Daqiang's behavior and could only say: "Dad, you have to think about it. You are not familiar with the place in the United States and you don't speak English. The place you live in the United States may not be as comfortable as in China!"
Su Daqiang was stunned and asked in confusion: "Mingzhe, what do you mean?"
Wang Gang explained: "Everyone in the United States speaks English, even in Chinatown there are mostly people from Fujian and Guangdong, so you can't understand what they are saying.
Wu Fei and I usually have to go to work and cannot be with you all the time, so you can only stay at home."
Su Mingcheng also said: "Yes! Dad, you don't speak a word of English, how will you live in the United States? And I heard that it is very chaotic there. There are robberies and gunfights all day long. It is too dangerous."
Su Daqiang looked at Wang Gang doubtfully and asked, "Really? Your mother and I went to the United States last time. Wasn't it peaceful?"
Wang Gang took out his mobile phone and looked up some American news for Su Daqiang to read.
