Chapter 2890: Su Daqiang's Talent, the Su Family Settles Accounts
Zhu Li sat on the sofa, arms folded, her beautiful face full of gloom, looking at Su Mingcheng angrily, complaining.
"We can't go on like this. Dad doesn't have only you as his son. Big brother and Mingyu are also children of the Su family. We must hold a family meeting to discuss Dad's retirement issue again. We can't always take care of him. This is too unfair!"
I really don't blame Zhu Li for being angry. Su Daqiang is really too much of a troublemaker. She is exhausted and can't hold on any longer. Su Daqiang is not a good person. He makes trouble every other day, and no one can stand it.
Su Mingcheng also agreed very much. He looked tired, collapsed on the sofa, and said weakly.
"Wife, you are right. We must hold a family meeting to discuss the issue of Dad's retirement. My eldest brother is not in the country and cannot come. Su Mingyu is in Suzhou and must attend. She must also fulfill her obligation to support Dad! Even if she doesn't want to take care of Dad, she should pay some money. Anyway, she has a lot of dirty money!"
In the second bedroom, Su Daqiang lay on the door and eavesdropped on the conversation between Zhu Li and Su Mingcheng. He felt that what they said made sense. Now that he was disliked by Su Mingcheng and his wife, he didn't want to continue living there. He quickly opened the door and walked in front of the two and said.
"Hurry up and contact Mingyu and ask her to come. If she doesn't want to come, you can say that I am sick and will die!"
When Su Mingcheng heard this, he took out his mobile phone to contact Su Mingyu on the spot and asked to hold a family meeting to discuss Su Daqiang's retirement.
In the president's office of Mingyi Group, Su Mingyu hung up the phone with a helpless look on her face.
Liu Ziyi looked at Su Mingyu's expression, shook his head, and said to Su Mingyu.
"I don't think it's possible. Just buy your dad a house and let him live by himself. Then find a nanny to take care of him, so as to avoid such trouble!"
Su Mingyu disagreed. She took a deep breath and said angrily.
"Why? He and my mother didn't care about me at the beginning. Now that he is old, Su Mingcheng and my eldest brother don't take care of him. No way!"
It's difficult for a judge to judge family affairs. Liu Ziyi couldn't say anything more. He knew that Su Mingyu was holding back her breath and wanted to seek justice for her former self.
Tongdeli, the old house of the Su family.
Liu Ziyi and Su Mingyu arrived as scheduled and sat at the table. Opposite them sat Su Mingcheng and his wife.
Su Daqiang sat by the wall, huddled up, rubbing his hands back and forth on his legs, with a stern face, glanced at Su Mingyu, and said.
"Mingyu, I can't go to your eldest brother's place!"
"Your second brother and second sister-in-law are here, I..."
Su Mingcheng turned his head to look at Su Daqiang, with a bit of dissatisfaction on his face, and interrupted him.
"Dad!"
Su Daqiang changed the subject, as if he didn't dare to continue.
"I have discussed with them where I will live in the future, the alimony issue, and the old-age issue. You can sit here and talk about it together!"
Su Mingyu glanced at the timid Su Daqiang, then looked at the dissatisfied Su Mingcheng and said.
"What else can I say? The key is to look at you. What do you think?"
"You have three choices. Choose whichever one you like!"
Su Daqiang showed curiosity on his face, looked up at Su Mingyu, and asked puzzledly.
"I have three choices?"
Su Mingyu was hard on the outside but soft on the inside. She had opposed Liu Ziyi's proposal before. Facing the pitiful Su Daqiang, she still couldn't bear to say.
"The first choice is that you live with me and I will take care of you!"
"No!"
Su Daqiang refused without waiting for Su Mingyu to finish, which made Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li look surprised.
Su Mingyu shook her head. She understood Su Daqiang's idea and continued.
"If you don't want to live with me, I still have a lot of houses. You can live alone. I will find you a nanny to take care of your daily life. What do you think?"
Su Daqiang rubbed his hands back and forth on his legs, and his upper body swayed slightly back and forth. He refused again without even looking at Su Mingyu.
"Then I won't go either!"
When Su Daqiang saw Su Mingyu, he felt an inexplicable guilt and fear, as if he had seen Su's mother and didn't want to live in Su Mingyu's house.
Su Mingyu leaned forward slightly, staring at Su Daqiang, and said angrily.
"You said you wouldn't go!"
Su Daqiang dodged his eyes, not daring to look directly at Su Mingyu, staring at the opposite wall, and said firmly.
"I said, I won't go!"
Liu Ziyi looked at the frightened Su Daqiang and wanted to laugh for some reason. Su Mingyu's personality was indeed similar to Su's mother, strong and domineering, but the difference between Su Mingyu and Su's mother was that she was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and was very gentle to him, unlike Su's mother who scolded Su Daqiang all day long.
Su Mingyu knew what was going on, nodded, and said to Su Daqiang who was so determined.
"Okay, it seems that you haven't forgotten the agreement you made with me that year, very good, you have backbone!"
Zhu Li's eyes widened, and she looked at Su Mingyu and Su Daqiang curiously, full of confusion, not knowing what the agreement Su Mingyu was talking about was.
Back then, the Su family's old house originally had four rooms, and Su Mingyu had one, but Su Daqiang and his wife sold three rooms one after another for their two sons, but were unwilling to pay for Su Mingyu's tuition. Su Mingyu and her parents made an agreement: even if they died of old age in the future, they would not need Su Mingyu to take care of them in their old age.
"Then even if this first choice is ruled out, you still have two choices!"
Su Mingyu glanced at the nervous Su Daqiang and continued.
Su Mingcheng put down the newspaper in his hand, interrupted Su Mingyu's words, frowned, and asked.
"What agreement? Why don't I know? Is it the agreement your parents made with you? What is the content?"
Su Mingyu glanced at Su Mingcheng with disgust, turned to look at Su Daqiang, and said.
"Didn't you tell him about the agreement?"
Su Daqiang shook his head slightly, lowered his head and said nothing.
Su Mingcheng tapped the table with his fingers, stared at Su Mingyu, and said dissatisfied.
"I came to you today to talk about dad's support issue. If you have anything to say clearly, what kind of agreement you have, tell me and let me listen!"
Zhu Li clasped her hands together and placed them on the table. She also looked up at Su Mingyu and spoke softly.
"Mingyu, I think what your second brother said makes sense. The reason why we got together today is to discuss dad's pension issue. Since the agreement you mentioned is related to this matter, then I think you can put this Tell us the content of the agreement and let us understand it too!”
The corners of Su Mingyu's mouth raised slightly, revealing a bit of a smile. She turned her head slightly, glanced at Liu Ziyi, and said with a smile.
"What the second sister-in-law said makes sense, you also have the right to know!"
Su Mingyu glanced at Su Daqiang who was silent and asked for his opinion.
"Dad, since the second sister-in-law strongly requested it, I will say it! If what I said is wrong, you can correct me!"
Su Mingyu looked at Su Mingyu and his wife, sighed, and said slowly.
"It's like this, second sister-in-law. There were four houses in the old house at home. My parents lived in the innermost one, I lived in one room, and my two brothers lived in one room each. Later, the eldest brother wanted to study abroad, and Su Mingcheng wanted to find a job. After getting married, my parents sold three houses.”
"I was so angry at the time. I felt it was unfair. I am also a son and daughter of the Su family. My parents were not willing to pay a penny for the cost of going to college. It was Ziyi who paid for my studies!"
When Su Mingyu said this, she reached out and held Liu Ziyi's hand, with gratitude and tenderness on her face. If Liu Ziyi hadn't been there, she didn't know what she would be like now.
"My parents and I had a big fight about this matter countless times. At the end of the fight, my parents swore a poisonous oath and made a written agreement!"
When Su Daqiang heard this, he rubbed his knees nervously with his hands, making a slight sound. He raised his head and did not dare to look at Su Mingyu and Su Mingcheng, his face expressionless.
"The general content of the note is that even if they die of old age in the future, they will not need me to provide for them until they die. From now on, the affairs of the Su family will have nothing to do with me, Su Mingyu!"
Su Mingyu had a cold smile on her lips. She first glanced at Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li, and finally looked at Su Daqiang and asked.
"I'm right, Dad!"
Su Daqiang didn't say anything. He just kept rubbing his legs with his hands. He avoided looking at Su Mingyu. He didn't feel guilty in his heart. He and his wife did go too far back then.
Su Mingyu looked away and laughed disdainfully. After so many years, Su Daqiang has not changed at all. When the critical moment comes, he acts like a coward without any responsibility.
"Second sister-in-law, you may not know that Dad has a habit of writing down every expense at home. He has been keeping accounts for more than ten years. If you don't believe it, you can ask Dad to find out all the accounts he has kept before. Just look at it and you’ll understand!”
Zhu Li is a certified public accountant and is very proficient in accounting. I believe she will understand the truth of the matter just by looking at Su Daqiang's account books.
"Su Mingyu, if you don't want to support your father, just say so directly, there is no need to make so many excuses!"
Su Mingcheng quit, with a dissatisfied look on his face, looked at Su Mingyu, and spoke directly.
"Didn't I make it clear enough? If you don't want to raise dad, he can live with me, but the account must be settled clearly!"
Su Mingyu leaned back, spread her hands, and said very calmly.
"Ah!"
Su Mingcheng rolled his eyes, shook his head, and said unconvinced.
"Aren't you being unreasonable? How can a family's accounts be settled clearly?"
A confident smile appeared on Su Mingyu's face, she looked at Su Daqiang and said in a deep voice.
"You may not know about Dad, but he remembers his accounts very carefully. Of course he can do the calculations clearly!"
"Then you have to say this, Dad has lived with us for such a long time, shouldn't we settle the score?"
Su Mingcheng was a little excited and said angrily. Obviously he knew it well. Among the three children of the Su family, he spent the most money from his parents. Su Mingyu almost never spent the family's money. Of course he didn't want to settle the score.
"no problem!"
"Dad, you heard it too. Su Mingcheng agreed to settle the accounts. If you don't take out the account books yet, everyone will settle all the accounts clearly today!"
Su Daqiang had a reluctant look on his face, lowered his head and remained silent.
"Don't be silent and take out your account books quickly. My second sister-in-law is a professional accountant. As long as you calculate the accounts clearly today, it will be clear where you will live in the future!"
"call!"
Seeing that things had come to this, Su Daqiang let out a breath, stood up suddenly, walked into the room, took out a stack of ledgers, put them on the table, and then obediently ran to the wall and sat down.
"The one at the top belongs to Mingyu. Since she graduated from high school, her family has never spent a penny on her!"
"The books in the middle are written by Mingzhe. Since he went to the United States for a work-study program, he has never reached out to his family!"
"The rest are all made by Mingcheng!"
Su Mingyu glanced at the account book, with a faint smile on her face, pushed the account book in front of Zhu Li, and said.
"Second sister-in-law, please take a look first. These are all the accounts of the family for more than ten years. You can add up the total amount of how much I spent on the family!"
"Su Mingcheng, look at me, brother, you can also calculate the amount of money spent!"
Zhu Li looked at Su Mingyu's thin account book and felt a little hot on her face. She took out her mobile phone and began to calculate Su Mingyu's expenses.
Su Mingcheng also picked up Su Mingzhe's account book, opened it, and kept flipping through it. When he saw what Su Daqiang recorded in it, he turned to look at Su Daqiang speechlessly and said.
"Oh my God, you remember when my eldest brother bought two bunches of candied haws, so why don't the whole family eat it together?"
Su Daqiang stared at the roof, expressionless, and spoke.
"Your mother and I didn't eat!"
When Su Mingcheng heard this, he nodded, shook his head, was completely speechless to Su Daqiang, and continued to look at the ledger.
Su Mingyu took Su Mingcheng's account book over and was about to look through it. Liu Ziyi reached out to stop the account book and said with a smile.
"Let me do it!"
Liu Ziyi opened the account book, flipping through it very quickly, reading ten lines at a time, never forgetting it, laughing secretly in his heart, and said with a smile, Su Daqiang clearly remembers everything from a piece of candy to buying a house or a car, no matter how big or small it is. It is a pity that Su Daqiang does not work in accounting. .
It only took Liu Ziyi a few minutes to read through more than a dozen account books, and he also tallied up all the money Su Mingcheng had spent over the years. Zhu Li was stunned for a while.
"Ziyi, have you finished reading so quickly?"
"Second sister-in-law, I have a photographic memory and am quite sensitive to mathematics. It is very simple for me to look at this account. If you think my calculation is wrong, you can check it again!"
When Zhu Li heard this, she secretly admired her and calculated Su Mingyu's accounts again. She had not read half of them, and her efficiency was much lower than Liu Ziyi's.
It took more than two hours before Zhu Li and Su Mingcheng finished reading the account books. Su Mingcheng was worried about Liu Ziyi and asked Zhu Li to check his account books again.
Julie closed all the ledgers, lowered her head with shame on her face, rubbed her fingers nervously, and spoke.
"I've read the account books and I feel so ashamed! I didn't expect Mingcheng and I to have spent so much of my family's money over the years!"
Su Mingyu looked at Zhu Li with a sincere face, her heart softened again, and she said a little embarrassedly.
"Second sister-in-law, we are settling accounts today. No one is at odds with anyone. We just want everyone to have an idea and there will be no complaints in the future!"
Su Mingcheng looked at Su Daqiang angrily and shouted.
"Dad, did you remember it wrong? How could I have spent so much money at home?!"
Su Daqiang had no skills in his life. The only thing he was proud of was keeping accounts. He was not happy to hear Su Mingcheng's words and retorted.
"It's impossible to remember it wrong!"
"Every money you spend has a time and serial number. I remember that the account book won first prize in our school's work-study program!"
When Liu Ziyi heard this, he couldn't hold it back anymore and burst into laughter. It was obvious that Su Daqiang was very proud of this award.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it!"
Su Mingcheng glanced at Liu Ziyi, his face was extremely ugly, he turned to look at Su Daqiang aside, and said very dissatisfied.
"Dad, what do you mean? If you keep accounts, you can keep accounts. What do you mean by taking out this account book today?"
"No, Dad! What do you mean by taking it out!"
Su Mingcheng was very excited and became angry with embarrassment, shouting at Su Daqiang.
Zhu Li gave Su Mingcheng a hard look and scolded.
"Su Mingcheng, shut up and take it to the house, don't come out!"
Su Mingcheng was really good to Zhu Li and he didn't dare to refute. He stood up angrily and walked to Su Daqiang with an annoyed look on his face.
Su Daqiang didn't dare to face Su Mingcheng, so he quickly stood up and turned to face the wall, not daring to face Su Mingcheng, like a primary school student who had made a mistake.
Su Mingcheng was furious, but helpless. He sighed, pointed at Su Daqiang, turned around and entered the back room.
Seeing Su Mingcheng leave, Su Mingyu looked at Zhu Li and continued.
"I just said that the first option is for dad to live with me. If he doesn't agree, then I will talk about the second option!"
Zhu Li took a deep breath, interrupted Su Mingyu's words, and said very responsibly.
"Mingyu, you don't need to talk about the second or third choice. I've also read the account books. You really have no obligation to care about Dad!"
"From today on, Mingcheng and I will be responsible for taking care of dad's life!"
Su Mingyu was a little moved. She didn't expect that this second sister-in-law was so responsible. She was completely different from Su Mingcheng. Su Mingcheng was really lucky to marry such a good wife.
When Su Daqiang heard this, he turned around, looked at Zhu Li, and asked in disbelief.
"Lili, you, are you telling the truth?"
"Really, Dad! Over the years, Mingcheng and I have spent so much of our family's money, and we have no reason to ignore you! Don't worry, this money is just a loan from us, and we will definitely pay it back to you in the future! "
"The accounts have been settled clearly today. I think today's family meeting will be held here!"
Zhu Li said with some shame. She felt very uncomfortable. At first, she thought it was Su Mingyu and Su Mingzhe who were irresponsible and unwilling to support Su Daqiang in old age, but she did not expect that it was she and Su Mingcheng who were gnawing at the old age, and Su Daqiang should be supported by them.
Su Mingyu nodded and was about to stand up and leave. Liu Ziyi grabbed Su Mingyu's hand, shook his head slightly, motioned her to wait a moment, looked at Zhu Li and Su Daqiang, and spoke.
"The account has been settled. Mingyu spent the least amount of money in the family, but it didn't cost him a penny. He has been kind to Mingyu in raising him. We can't just ignore everything. Let's do this. We will contribute 10,000 yuan a month. It’s up to you how you spend your alimony!”
Liu Ziyi didn't give him too much money. Su Daqiang was too fickle. If he gave too much, he would definitely make trouble again. Ten thousand yuan is already a lot. Su Mingcheng only got five thousand yuan in salary a month. That’s all.
"That's good. Lili and Mingcheng are responsible for taking care of me. If you give me alimony, you have fulfilled your support obligations!"
Su Daqiang was very happy, with a smile on his face. Nie Rongjin and his son gave him three thousand yuan a month, which was far less than himself. In the future, he could show off in front of him.
