Su Daqiang sat nervously in the studio at Su City TV Station, with his good friend Lao Nie accompanying him.
"Lao Su, don't be nervous. When the host asks you something, just answer it. Just tell the truth." Lao Nie comforted Su Daqiang.
"Old Nie, didn't you say you wanted to scare my children? How come it's so bad that it's on TV now? Is it too late for me to regret it?" Su Daqiang said with some fear.
"I didn't expect your eldest son to be so stubborn. He actually dared to go on TV to argue with you about pension issues. There was no turning back. You took the money from the program team, and you can't be on it even if you don't want to. Do you have the money to compensate the program team?"
Su Daqiang glanced at Wang Gang and Su Mingcheng, who were sitting opposite, looking calm and composed. Although he felt that the family scandal should not be made public, he had no room to retreat when the situation reached this point.
Wang Gang was really calm and composed, but Su Mingcheng was obviously a little nervous, but he was blocked by Wang Gang and did not show it.
"Brother, we really want to be on TV!" Su Mingcheng pulled Wang Gang's arm and flinched a little.
"Now that we are here, it is impossible to turn back." Wang Gang glanced at the closed studio door and said.
"Where's Su Mingyu? Why didn't that damn girl come?" Su Mingcheng asked.
"Mingyu is a company executive. She has to worry about the company's image in everything she says and does. It's not convenient for her to appear in public, but she will watch TV at home." Wang Gang explained.
"I think that girl is just afraid of being embarrassed, so she doesn't want to come."
Wang Gang said helplessly: "You and Mingyu have liked to fight each other since they were children. How old are you and are you still arguing? Is it interesting?"
Su Mingcheng said indifferently: "It's that girl Su Mingyu who has always looked down on me, and she hasn't even called me second brother until now."
Wang Gang shook his head and wanted to persuade him a few more words. The lights in the studio suddenly went out and the spotlight focused on the central stage.
A host wearing a black suit came out.
"Having three children but no one to care for them in old age is a sign of moral decay or a distortion of human nature. Welcome everyone to watch this episode of Modern Focus. I am the host Du Huan."
As soon as the host came on stage, he pointed out the theme of this program, which also made Wang Gang and Su Mingcheng a little unhappy.
The host's opening remarks were full of malice, and anyone could hear it.
Next, the host introduced Su Daqiang's identity, focusing especially on his experience of being punished by the school for giving birth to three children and being transferred to work in the library.
The host did this to highlight the difficulty of Su Daqiang raising three children.
Finally, the host invited Su Daqiang, Wang Gang and Su Mingcheng to the stage.
There are three sofas on the stage. The host sits in the middle, Su Daqiang sits on the left, and Wang Gang and Su Mingcheng sit on the right, forming a sharp contrast.
Opposite the three sofas are the live audience and five cameras.
The host took the lead and handed the microphone to Su Daqiang.
"Uncle Su, how old are you this year and who else is in your family?"
Su Daqiang may not be used to sitting under the spotlight, so he is a little timid and a little scared. Instead, people feel that he is a little old man who is often bullied.
Wang Gang didn't know if Su Daqiang acted like this on purpose. Anyway, most of the audience felt sympathy when they saw him like this.
"My name is Su Daqiang. I am 63 years old. There are five people in my family. My wife passed away this year. My eldest son is a returned doctor from overseas. My second son graduated from Fudan University and works in a foreign trade company. My third daughter is a senior executive of a large company." Su Daqiang was afraid.
After saying these words timidly, the people at the scene thought that he was an honest and honest little old man.
The host was surprised and said: "Uncle Su, your three children are very good!"
Su Daqiang said: "Yes, my three children are all excellent, especially the eldest son. Not only is he highly educated, he is also able to make money. He has four houses in Shanghai."
The scene was in an uproar. The four apartments in the Magic City were not ordinary rich ones!
Many people's eyes were focused on Wang Gang's face.
The host also pretended to be confused and said: "Since your eldest son is so outstanding, why is he still unwilling to provide for you in old age?"
Wang Gang frowned, feeling that the host was setting the pace.
"My son originally promised to take me to Shanghai for retirement, but later he reneged on it because of a dispute. I had no choice but to seek help from Modern Focus."
The host asked: "Uncle Su, do you have any requirements for retirement care now?"
"I don't have any requirements. I just want to go to Shanghai with my eldest son to retire in Shanghai. I want to be closer to my granddaughter."
As he spoke, Su Daqiang burst into tears. His gesture was even more aggrieved than the wronged little daughter-in-law.
The host turned around and asked Wang Gang and Su Mingcheng: "You two have also heard Uncle Su's appeal. I want to ask you what you think. Since you are three brothers and sisters, why did my sister not come this time? She
Are you too embarrassed to see your father?"
Su Mingcheng almost jumped up when he was told that, but Wang Gang held him down.
Wang Gang looked at Su Daqiang, who was crying and acting, and then at the indignant audience, and said calmly:
"Let me answer your last question first. My sister is a senior executive of a large company. She is usually very busy at work, so she is unable to come to the scene today. It's not that you said she is afraid of seeing her father."
The host found that Wang Gang's words were reasonable and well-founded, unlike those ordinary people who had ordinary knowledge and understood the other party's doctorate.
"Dr. Su, can I ask, is it possible that you have achieved this achievement without the efforts of your parents?" the host asked maliciously.
Wang Gang leaned on the sofa and explained: "Yes, my current achievements are inseparable from the training of my parents, so after studying abroad, I worked and studied part-time, and would send money home every month to compensate my parents. Around these years ago
More than one million have been sent since then.”
There was an uproar at the scene. They originally thought that Wang Gang was an ungrateful upstart, but they didn't expect that he had given his parents more than one million yuan over the years.
More than one million is not a small amount of money. Think about how many children now use their parents' money to buy a house, get married and have children. Wang Gang can do this, which is better than most people in the country.
The host was a little surprised at this time and couldn't help but glance at Su Daqiang. He had never mentioned sending money before.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What the elderly actually need is companionship. No matter how much money you give, it is not as good as having your children by your side." The host pretended to be calm.
Wang Gang nodded in agreement and said: "So when I settled down in the United States, after I got married and had children, I invited my parents to live with me, but they rejected my proposal because I didn't have a son, only a daughter. Even my daughter has been
I haven’t seen my grandparents until I was five years old.”
The scene was in an uproar again, and some people began to look at Su Daqiang in a wrong way.
Preferring sons over daughters has always been a hot topic in China. Even 70 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is difficult to change the concept of favoring sons over daughters in some places.
Su Daqiang may have felt the change in public opinion, so he stood up and said, "That's because your mother favors boys over girls and refuses to go to the United States. It's none of my business!"
The host stood up, supported Su Daqiang, and comforted him: "Uncle Su, please calm down. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
Old Nie in the audience suddenly felt that he might have been deceived by Su Daqiang. There might be some hidden secret behind the fact that the three children of the Su family refused to support him in old age.
The host turned to look at Wang Gang again and said: "As a child, you cannot resent your parents and not provide for them in their old age because of their old ideas."
Wang Gang nodded and said, "Yes, I agree with what you said, so after my mother passed away, I immediately ended my career in the United States, moved my family back to China, and bought a house in Shanghai, preparing to take my father to live in his old age."
The host asked: "Why did you change your mind later?"
Wang Gang said calmly: "It's not that I changed my mind, but that my father was not satisfied."
Su Mingcheng added: "My eldest brother bought a 133-square-meter house in the best area of Shanghai. He plans to let my father live alone. He also plans to hire a nanny to take care of my father's life."
The host asked: "A 133-square-meter house is enough for a family. Why is it only for your father to live in?"
"Because I have a house in the same community, we don't have to live together, but we can still see each other every day, and we can take care of each other when something happens."
The host was a little sour, feeling that his 120-square-meter house with three bedrooms and one living room no longer smelled good.
"But you still didn't take Uncle Su to the Magic City in the end." The host held on to this point.
Su Mingcheng sneered: "That's because my father is not satisfied with a house of 133 square meters and 20 million yuan. He wants to live in a larger house of 30 million yuan."
The host was stunned for a moment, his face stiffened, but the audience was in a rage.
“I’m not satisfied with a house worth twenty million!”
"My house is not worth even two million, and there is still a whole family living in it."
"I live alone in a house worth 20 million yuan and have a nanny to take care of me. I really wish I had a son like this!"
Old Nie in the audience was also a little embarrassed and panicked at this time.
Lao Su, why didn’t you say anything about the 30 million house!?
