Early the next morning, Su Mingyu took Su Mingzhe's family to join Su Mingcheng, Su Daqiang and the others and went to the funeral parlor together.
When we arrived at the funeral home, all the relatives and friends who were bidding farewell to my mother, Zhao Meilan, also came over.
On the way out of the funeral home, Su Mingyu had been busy working and making phone calls. Su Mingcheng, who had a close relationship with his mother Zhao Meilan, angrily handed the portrait to his wife and was about to go to settle the score with her.
Seeing this, Su Mingzhe put the ashes in the car and quickly stopped Su Mingcheng:
"You get in the car first and let me handle it!"
"Brother, look at Su Mingyu." Su Mingcheng wanted to break away from Su Mingzhe's blockage. In the past few years, Su Mingzhe had insisted on training and he could not break free.
Su Mingzhe didn't tolerate him and pushed him directly into the car.
He said to Julie who was standing at the door of the car:
"I'll go take a look. Please help me keep an eye on Su Mingcheng and don't let outsiders make fun of him!"
After speaking, he gave Julie a look.
Zhu Li also knew that the family scandal should not be publicized, so she quickly stopped Su Mingcheng who was about to get out of the car, put her hand around his arm and said in his ear:
"Let big brother handle it, don't let outsiders laugh!"
After speaking, Julie put her head in the car and explained to her relatives and friends:
"Uncles and aunties, Mingyu is too sad and has been crying outside. My eldest brother has gone to persuade her. Please wait for a while!"
Wu Fei also saw something was wrong and got up and quickly pulled Su Mingcheng to the empty seat in the front row and sat down.
When Su Mingcheng saw that his eldest brother had passed, he sat on the seat and sulked.
Su Mingzhe also walked over at this time and grabbed Su Mingyu's mobile phone.
"Brother, you~" Su Mingyu was about to say something but was interrupted by Su Mingzhe's gesture.
Su Mingzhe took the phone and put it to his ear and said politely:
"Mr. Meng, hello, I am Su Mingzhe, Mingyu's eldest brother!"
"I'm very sorry. Today is the day our mother is buried. On behalf of Mingyu, I would like to apologize to you for delaying her work!"
"No, no, you don't have to come over!"
"Thank you for your concern."
"Mingyu must have been busy and forgot!"
"Sorry to trouble you!"
"Okay, okay, I'll treat you to dinner when I have time!"
Mr. He hung up the phone with a few polite words and returned the phone to Su Mingyu:
"Let's go, it's settled. It's not like you can't change the company if it leaves you. Mr. Meng said he would make arrangements!"
Later, during the burial, Su Mingzhe suppressed Su Mingcheng and Su Mingyu without any trouble, and the burial was completed smoothly. Even Uncle Zhao had a relationship with his sister after all, and he was honest.
After finishing their work, Su Mingzhe arranged for all relatives and friends to finish their meal.
After it was over, Su Mingzhe organized everyone to gather at the old house to discuss Su Daqiang's retirement.
After Su Mingzhe finished eating, he specially called a special car to take Wu Fei and Xiaomi to her parents' house in Shanghai. There was no need for her to be present for the next thing.
Everyone was cooking at the dining table in the old house, while Su Daqiang was sitting on a stool inside.
When Su Mingyu saw that everyone was silent, she took out the bankbook she had found in her old house from her pocket and put it on the table:
"This is the 2 million yuan that my eldest brother gave my mother before to break off the relationship. There is still 1 million yuan left, and 500,000 yuan was given to Su Mingcheng."
"My mother also bought my uncle and his family a 300,000 yuan insurance, and also subsidized them by more than 100,000 yuan in the past two years!"
Zhu Li frowned after hearing this. She didn't know how the 500,000 yuan to buy the car came from. Su Mingcheng told her that the money was given by her mother.
Zhu Li glared at Su Mingcheng, but said nothing in order to save face for Su Mingcheng. She planned to settle the score with him after returning home.
Su Mingcheng lowered his head and was afraid to look at Zhu Li.
Su Mingyu ignored the actions of the two couples and continued:
“What we are discussing now is the issue of dad’s retirement!”
After hearing about him, Su Daqiang stopped pretending to be an ostrich and listened with his ears straightened up.
Su Mingzhe raised his head and Su Daqiang interrupted:
"Dad, please take out the account books you hid before. Let's make it clear today!"
Su Mingyu had known about the account book for a long time, so she didn't feel surprised.
Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li were shocked. Why hadn't they noticed it before?
When Su Mingzhe saw Su Daqiang pretending not to hear, he directly told Su Mingyu about the agreement:
"Before, because they were helping me study abroad and help Mingcheng get married and buy a house, my parents sold the room that still had Mingyu in the house. In the end, they made a written agreement with Mingyu, saying that they didn't need Mingyu to support him in his old age!"
"That's right, Dad, so you'd better take out the account book, otherwise some things won't be clear!"
Su Mingyu was a little curious about how her elder brother knew. She didn't seem to have told him.
But she didn't think about it. She thought it was her mother, Zhao Meilan, who told her eldest brother.
After hearing what Su Mingzhe said, Su Daqiang could no longer pretend to be an ostrich. He could only get up and go inside to take out his account book.
Divided into three piles and placed on the coffee table in the living room:
"The thickest pile belongs to Mingcheng, the thinnest pile belongs to Mingyu, and the remaining ones belong to Mingzhe. Of course, Mingzhe has already given money to your mother, and his is not counted."
Su Mingzhe walked over and handed Su Mingcheng's account book to Zhu Li:
"Brother and sister, you are in charge of finance, come and see Mingcheng."
"I'm here to see Mingyu!"
Zhu Li took it and looked through it, and Su Mingcheng also came over to look at it together.
The more Zhu Li looked at it, the more wonderful her expression became, while the more Su Mingcheng looked at it, the angrier he became, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore:
"Dad, you are so talented, aren't you? You even remember buying a lollipop when you were a kid?"
Julie interrupted her husband:
"Su Mingcheng, shut up. Go to the back room and don't come out before I finish reading the account books!"
Su Mingcheng became a little angry when he saw Zhu Li, and walked to the back room obediently. At this time, after reading the account book, he also recalled the past events.
Su Mingzhe and the others did not disturb Zhu Li who was looking at the account book.
Time passed slowly, and Julie finally finished reading the account book, and said with a solemn expression and some guilt:
"Brother, I've finished reading Mingyu's account book. I didn't expect that Mingcheng and I have spent so much money from our family over the years. I feel very guilty. There is no need to discuss it anymore. Mingcheng and I will handle the matter of providing for dad in his old age!"
Su Mingzhe shook his head:
"Julie, you'd better call Mingcheng out. Some things don't work out that way. Dad's accounting is wrong!"
"Mingcheng, come out and call you!" Zhu Li shouted.
After Su Mingcheng sat down, Su Mingzhe took the account book, looked at Su Mingcheng and his wife, and finally looked at Su Daqiang and said:
"Dad, I have to say something for Mingcheng this time. You can't just remember the money Mingcheng spent. They have never returned home empty-handed these years!"
"When have you ever come back without buying a big bag of things for you and mom?"
"Why don't you remember these?"
Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li looked at Su Mingzhe gratefully. They had forgotten about it just now, but now they think about it and feel that what their elder brother said is very right.
In particular, Su Mingcheng is very filial and often buys things for his mother Zhao Meilan:
"Yes, dad, brother is right. Why don't you remember these?"
"The washing machine I bought for my family, the tea I used to honor you, etc. are also quite expensive!"
"I~" Su Daqiang also felt wronged and didn't know what to say.
Su Mingyu was naturally at odds with Su Mingcheng. Seeing her father like this, she felt a little compassionate and helped her father:
"Okay, Su Mingcheng, shouldn't you honor your parents?"
Su Mingcheng was reluctant when he heard it:
"Oh, with my bad temper, why do I only allow dad to keep accounts and not me to settle accounts?"
Su Mingzhe knocked on the table:
"Okay, shut up and listen to me!"
