The family finished their meal in a very awkward manner. Su Daqiang was washing dishes in the kitchen. At this time, he was not an old baby who wanted to drink hand-ground coffee.
Others were sitting on the sofa with their own thoughts.
Su Mingzhe began to distribute gifts to everyone.
Picking up a set of imported cosmetics and handing them to Su’s mother, Zhao Meilan:
"Mom, this is the cosmetics I bought for you. You will use this one from now on. This one is better!"
Zhao Meilan didn't react, so she took it and put it aside.
But Julie on the side recognized it and said in surprise:
"Brother, this set of cosmetics costs several thousand!"
Su Mingzhe just smiled and said nothing.
Zhao Meilan quickly picked up the cosmetics and wanted to return them to Su Mingzhe. She felt a little worried about the money:
"Mingzhe, can you withdraw from this?"
Su Mingzhe quickly said: "You will definitely not be able to retreat, so just use it!"
Then he picked up a fur he bought for his mother, Zhao Meilan:
"This is the mink coat I bought for you. Wear this to keep warm in winter!"
"You can try it on first to see if it fits the size?"
After Su Mingzhe finished speaking, he motioned to his mother to stand up and put it on to take a look.
Being filial to parents is also an emotional bond left over from the original person.
Zhao Meilan liked the fur very much and couldn't help but stand up, take off her coat and try it on.
Just when she saw Su Daqiang coming out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, Zhao Meilan asked:
"How do you think my son bought me this clothes?"
"Yes, it's pretty good-looking!" Su Daqiang forced a smile.
In fact, he was a little dissatisfied. He thought his eldest son didn't prepare a gift for him.
Su Mingzhe happened to take out the things prepared for his father at this time, some ginseng, deer antlers, and sea cucumbers, and said to Su Daqiang:
"Dad, these are the nutritional supplements I bought for you. Your ears are sick and you need supplementary nutrition!"
Su Daqiang was originally very happy to hear the first half of the sentence, but he was a little unhappy when his son said that his ears were sick.
There was nothing he could do about it. He could only help Yuanyuan with his wife's lies and took the things handed over by his eldest son:
"Well, Mingzhe is interested!"
Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li looked at their eldest brother expectantly. They felt that since they could buy such expensive things for their parents, it would definitely not be cheap for them.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Su Mingzhe also took out a gift for Julie, a necklace specially bought in a jewelry store.
He handed it to Julie, but he changed his words:
"Sister-in-law, your sister-in-law specially chose this for you in the United States and asked me to bring it back to you. She heard that your birthday was coming soon and she asked me to bring it to you as a birthday present!"
Julie was a little embarrassed when she said that. The packaging of this necklace is not cheap. People remember your birthday, but you didn't know that they had a daughter?
"Thank you, brother. Thank you sister-in-law for me too!" Zhu Li accepted the gift awkwardly, and then couldn't help but glare at Su Mingcheng.
Su Mingcheng felt like he was going to sleep on the sofa today, and soon felt something was wrong:
"Gone?"
Su Mingzhe suppressed his laughter and said in a surprised tone:
"No more!"
Su Mingcheng frowned: "Where's mine?"
"What?" Su Mingzhe asked deliberately.
Su Mingcheng was a little dissatisfied: "A gift!"
Su Mingzhe was not used to his faults and said directly:
"I'm sorry, Mingcheng. Brother has been too busy these days and forgot about it. I'll make it up to you next time!"
Why did Su Mingcheng's words sound so familiar? Zhu Li was even more embarrassed on the side because this was what she had just said.
"It's okay, no need!" Su Mingcheng said through gritted teeth.
When Julie saw it, she kicked her husband because this was their fault.
Your eldest brother gave birth to a baby, and you didn’t even make a phone call, and you still expect others to prepare gifts for you?
At this time, mother Zhao Meilan said a few words that made several people present angry:
"Mingzhe, you didn't prepare any gifts for your uncle or the others?"
"Your uncle loved you the most when you were a child!"
Su Mingzhe frowned when he heard this. He originally wanted to save some face for his mother:
"Mom, I didn't buy anything. They didn't even make a single concern call when my wife gave birth to a baby. Why should I buy something for them?"
“Can’t you spend too much money?”
"They are not my parents and brothers!"
"This..." Zhao Meilan didn't know what to say.
When Su Mingcheng and his wife said this, they both wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. They felt that the eldest brother was not only talking about their uncle, but also a little bit about them.
Su Daqiang saw the atmosphere was a little awkward:
"Mingzhe, have you come back to contact Mingyu? He didn't answer my call to her before!"
"Dad, why did you mention her? She doesn't think she is a member of the Su family. Why did you ask her to come back!"
Su Mingcheng got a little angry when he heard the name Su Mingyu, as if the two were not brothers and sisters but enemies.
Zhao Meilan was also a little unhappy when her husband mentioned her daughter.
Su Mingzhe also said sincerely to his mother Zhao Meilan:
"Mom, you and Dad should pay attention to your health, especially when you play mahjong!"
What Su Mingzhe said was sincere. After all, she had inherited the memory of the original person, and she could be considered his mother.
He also hoped that Zhao Meilan could live longer and not die on the mahjong table. It would be best to live a long life.
When Zhao Meilan heard that her son cared about her, she agreed: "Mom knows, don't worry!"
Zhao Meilan remembered something again and stood up and said to Su Mingzhe:
"Mingzhe, you and mom come here!"
Su Mingzhe had already guessed what his mother Zhao Meilan was going to say.
Zhao Meilan took her son to the bedroom inside:
"Mingzhe, judging from the gifts you bought today, you shouldn't be short of money, right?"
Su Mingzhe sneered inwardly, "At this time, you have not forgotten your brother. You are really qualified as a sister, but you may be a little incompetent as a husband and mother."
So he said miserably:
"Mom, let me tell you straight, this is all money borrowed from my friend."
"If I weren't worried about dad's condition, I wouldn't be able to come back. It would cost a lot of money to come back!"
"You just happened to say that Dad's ears were treated by a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. It shouldn't have cost much, right?"
"If you have some spare money at home, can you lend me some? I'll pay back my friend's money first. After all, it carries interest?"
Zhao Meilan did not suspect that her son Su Mingzhe was telling lies. After all, her eldest son had always been very filial, and it was normal for him to lend money to buy gifts for herself and his father.
But thinking about his brother calling him all the time, he still said to his son:
"Mingzhe, if you get rich in the future, you must help your uncle and the others. It's not easy for them!"
Su Mingzhe pretended to be dissatisfied:
"Mom, we're talking about money, why are you talking about uncle?"
Zhao Meilan was a little embarrassed, but now she could only tell the truth:
"Mingzhe, listen to what mom told you. Before Mingcheng got married, all our family's money was used to buy a house for him."
Su Mingzhe's eyes widened and he said loudly:
"Mom, is Su Mingcheng your son? Am I, Su Mingzhe?"
"When he gets married, you buy him a house. When I get married, you don't give me a penny. Instead, I give you 5,000 US dollars a year!"
Zhao Meilan was a little anxious and almost burst into tears:
"Mingzhe, that's not what mom meant. It's just that Mingcheng is not as capable as you, so mom can only help him more!"
Before Su Mingzhe could speak, Su Mingcheng, who was in the living room of the old house without soundproofing, vaguely heard his elder brother mentioning his name and thought something had happened, so he walked to the bedroom to take a look.
After opening the door, he saw his mother crying and explaining something to his elder brother. He thought his mother was being bullied.
