Because it was on speakerphone, everyone heard it. Su Mingyu looked at the phone that was hung up, looked at her father Su Daqiang and smiled:
"Dad, you heard it too. My eldest brother is also very angry. You can't do this anymore!"
"It's only been a few days, and you've already been admitted to the hospital twice!"
Su Mingcheng rarely objected. He nodded and agreed with what Su Mingyu said:
"Yes, you have been to the hospital twice in just a short period of time. The guard at this hospital almost knows me!"
Su Daqiang was very hurt and didn't want to talk to them. He always felt sorry for his 50,000 yuan.
It took more than a year of hard work to save 50,000 yuan. Su Daqiang shed tears when he thought about it, mainly because the process was too difficult.
When his wife is here, he has to guard against his wife Zhao Meilan, and when his wife is gone, he has to guard against his son Su Mingcheng from letting him know.
It's a good thing now, my wife and son were very well guarded, but in the end they all fell for the scammers.
When Su Daqiang heard his children's accusations, the more he thought about it, the sadder he became. Finally, he stretched out his hand to cover the quilt with his hands and shed sad tears.
After a few words of persuasion, Su Mingyu stopped. After talking to her second sister-in-law Zhu Li, she left the ward and went to the company.
Su Mingcheng also said angrily:
"Dad, I told you that I wanted to take your clothes to wash and tidy up the room for you, but you didn't let me!"
"There is money in relationships!"
The more Su Mingcheng thought about it, the angrier he became. He stood up and walked to the hospital bed, kneeling before his father Su Daqiang, who was covered in quilt:
"Dad, don't cover up the quilt and pretend not to hear. It was that old Nie who led you to do some financial management."
"And you are quite talented. Even if you and my mother sell the nutritional supplements that your elder brother bought you, do you still get kickbacks?"
"I don't even know how to explain it. 50,000 yuan is enough for me and Lili..."
Su Mingzhe from the United States also felt a little hopeless after hanging up. Can't he just let himself calm down for a while this day?
"What happened, husband? I heard what you just said, dad is still hospitalized?"
"Are you okay?" Wu Fei asked with concern.
Su Mingzhe explained:
"I have no shame to mention that my mother actually asked my father to sell the nutritional supplements I bought for my family in order to support my uncle. As a result, my father took kickbacks and secretly saved money!"
"Don't tell me, my dad is pretty good at hiding it. No one knows about it!"
"Didn't Mingyu call me just now and tell me that all the 50,000 yuan he received from kickbacks was invested in financial management, but he was deceived, so he went to the hospital in excitement!"
Wu Fei felt so speechless after hearing this. This was too weird, but after all, Wu Fei, the elder, couldn't say much.
"Honey, I think my dad can't live in Mingcheng's house any longer!"
"I will discuss it with Mingcheng Mingyu and the others at some time. Let's sell the old house at home. Let's add a little more and buy a two-bedroom apartment for my dad. Then we can hire a nanny for him. Just live by yourself."
"Otherwise, if we live in Mingcheng's house, he will always cause trouble, and Mingcheng can't control him."
Su Mingzhe said to his wife Wu Fei.
Wu Fei didn't have any objections. Even if she sold her old house, she wouldn't be able to fill in much, but she still raised a question:
"Husband, what if our dad lives by himself and goes through all the trouble?"
Su Mingzhe sighed. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't stand having his father, Su Daqiang, go through so much trouble. He should think of a way.
After thinking for a while, Su Mingzhe couldn't think of any good solution. I can only turn off the lights first, hug my wife and sleep.
Let’s talk about it later.
…
Early the next morning, when Su Mingzhe got up, he saw that his wife was still sleeping soundly without disturbing her. He quietly went to the bathroom downstairs to wash up.
After washing up and going downstairs, Su Mingzhe said hello to Aunt Zheng who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen:
"What delicious food did Aunt Zheng make this morning?"
Aunt Zheng, the nanny, smiled and said:
"I made some wontons with your mother-in-law just now. We will eat when Feifei and Xiaomi get up. Are you hungry? Why don't I make you some first?"
Su Mingzhe waved his hand:
"Wait for Feifei and the other two, they are not very hungry now!"
After speaking, I walked to the living room and saw my mother-in-law sitting on the sofa, sorting out the clothes Xiaomi wore when she was a child.
Su Mingzhe sat on the single sofa next to him and said to Wu's mother:
"Mom, why did you get up so early? Why didn't you sleep a little longer? Are you still jet lag?"
Mother Wu finished tidying up the last piece of clothing:
"I went to bed early yesterday, so I got up early!"
Su Mingzhe remembered the topic he had discussed with his wife before and decided to ask his mother-in-law for her opinion:
"Mom, what are your plans when dad retires?"
Wu's mother was surprised why her son-in-law would ask such a question, but she answered truthfully:
"What plans do you have after retirement? Let's travel with your dad and play chess if you have nothing to do!"
"Do you and my dad want to come to the United States to live?" Su Mingzhe asked directly.
Mother Wu refused without even thinking:
"Your dad and I are not here. With our English proficiency, we don't speak the same language. It would be difficult to go out and buy groceries!"
"Uh~ Yes!" Su Mingzhe felt that what his mother-in-law said made sense.
Then he asked:
"What do you think about Feifei and I returning to China with our children?"
Mother Wu didn't react for a while:
"Go back home?"
"Why are you going back to China? Feifei's situation is special. It's better to celebrate the New Year here. Your dad will be here soon!"
When Su Mingzhe heard that his mother-in-law had misunderstood, he quickly explained:
"Mom, what I mean is that Feifei and I returned to China with our children to settle down!"
Mother Wu frowned:
"Why, it's so hard for you to gain a foothold here?"
Su Mingzhe did not directly say that it was partly due to her and her father-in-law, but directly complained about the public security here:
"A few days ago, when Feifei went for a beauty treatment, she met..."
Mother Wu was shocked after hearing this:
"Oh my gosh, it's so scary here. If this kind of case were in China, it would be the kind that would cause a national sensation. Do you think it's very common here?"
Su Mingzhe nodded and smiled bitterly:
"It's not common, so I'm not sure. Since it can happen, it must be risky. During this period, we basically don't go out at night!"
"We are still in a community with relatively good security. If it were a black community, we wouldn't be sure!"
Mother Wu sighed:
"Then go back. Although education and medical care in China take a little longer than here, at least the public security is good, and safety and health are the most important!"
"Mom, if I'm not afraid of your jokes, I have had enough of living abroad these past few years. There are good things here, but there are also quite a lot of bad things!"
"Besides, you and my dad are getting older, so it will be easier for us to go back and take care of you!"
Su Mingzhe smiled.
Wu's mother also realized that there was something wrong at this time and persuaded with a smile:
"Mingzhe, if you want to return to China due to public security issues, Mom will agree!"
"If you just want to take care of me and your dad, there is no need. Your dad and I are not yet 60, and our health is not bad. Even if we wait for the day when we can no longer move, our pension will be enough to find the best place to live. Nice nursing home!”
"You and Feifei don't have to worry."
Su Mingzhe felt that these things were incomparable. The comparison between his father-in-law and mother-in-law and his father Su Daqiang...
