In short, no matter what Su Daqiang tried to persuade, Zhu Li just didn't agree.
In the end, Su Daqiang had no choice but to use his special skill:
"Lili, Dad is also thinking about you and Mingcheng. At Dad's age, how many days can he live in a new house even if he buys it?"
"Your eldest brother and Mingyu are both short of money. In the end, this house will be yours!"
When Zhu Li heard this, she was a little excited at first, but in the end she still firmly shook her head. This matter was not as simple as he said.
So I pushed it to my eldest brother Su Mingzhe:
"No, Dad!"
"Mingcheng and I can't decide on this matter. After all, if we buy a three-bedroom apartment, we won't have enough money to sell the old house!"
Zhu Li felt that she might have agreed before. Now after thinking about it for a while, she understood very well what kind of person the father-in-law Su Daqiang was in front of her.
Regardless of what he says now, it's very good. If he buys three bedrooms and one living room, and his eldest brother Mingyu and the others are blamed, he will 1000% put the blame on himself and Mingcheng.
Looking at his daughter-in-law who couldn't get enough food and salt, Su Daqiang put forward another condition:
"Can you find someone younger for me when I look for a nanny?"
"Huh?" Zhu Li looked at her father-in-law Su Daqiang with some suspicion.
Faced with Julie's eyes like this, Su Daqiang quickly explained loudly:
"That Lili, don't get it wrong. Dad is just because he is young and has the strength to work!"
Julie felt that what he said seemed to make sense, and she was thinking about it.
After Su Daqiang finished speaking, he saw that Julie was a little moved, and then patted his old arms and legs:
"If I buy rice, noodles, oil, etc. at my age, what will you do if you find an older nanny for me?"
"I can't always ask you to help me carry it!"
After hearing this, Julie was about to agree impulsively, but in the end, reason overcame her impulse.
But Julie didn’t say she disagreed, but used a procrastination trick:
"Dad, let's not worry about this now. After buying the house, I will discuss it with my eldest brother and the others and try to find a young and strong man for you!"
Su Daqiang was a little unhappy when he heard the word young and strong. What he wanted was gentle and considerate.
So his face turned cold:
"Okay, okay, you decide!"
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the bedroom.
Julie looked at her father-in-law’s back and sighed, thinking:
"It's a good thing we have to move away, otherwise my life will be shortened by at least 10 years with such a father-in-law!"
After sighing, he went back to his bedroom and asked Su Mingcheng to get up.
After discussing the next two days, Zhu Li and Su Mingcheng decided to divide their forces into two groups due to tight time and heavy tasks.
Su Mingcheng took Su Daqiang to see the new house, and Zhu Li went to sell the old house.
Julie's sale of her old house is going quite smoothly, and there have been several offers.
Su Mingcheng took his father Su Daqiang to look at the new house, which was a bit bumpy.
After looking at the house for a day, Su Mingcheng came home and almost collapsed on the sofa. He said feebly to Su Daqiang who was sitting on the sofa:
"Dad, I saw more than ten houses today, but you didn't like any of them?"
Su Daqiang also took the opportunity to put forward the necessary conditions for the house he wants to live in in the future:
"None of the houses Mingcheng looked at today meet my requirements. They are all too far away from your home. If someone gets a headache here, you won't be able to get there!"
"And I hope there will be a garden in the community where I can go for a walk and exercise. It would be better if there is an artificial lake!"
"It also needs to be close to supermarkets and wet markets. It will be convenient to buy groceries in the future. It needs to be close to subway stations and bus stops. The floor of the house should be neither high nor low..."
After listening to his father Su Daqiang's demands, Su Mingcheng felt his head was pounding. He quickly interrupted and continued to talk about Su Daqiang:
"Stop, stop, stop, dad, why didn't you tell me these requests earlier?"
"We've been running around all day today, where are we having fun?"
Su Daqiang felt aggrieved:
"Look, you're still in a hurry, and you didn't even ask me!"
In fact, Su Daqiang simply wanted to torment his younger son, otherwise he would not be able to make demands directly. Moreover, this move would only kill one thousand enemies but only cost him eight hundred, and he himself was very tired.
"I..." Su Mingcheng was about to argue with his father when he heard the sound of the door opening. It turned out that his wife Zhu Li was back.
Su Mingcheng quickly stood up and complained:
"Honey, do you think our dad has gone too far? He hopes that there will be..."
"The key is that he didn't tell me earlier. After looking at it all day today, everything does not meet his requirements. Then my heels are almost worn out today, so it will be in vain!"
Zhu Li looked at Su Mingcheng, then at Su Daqiang sitting on the sofa and said helplessly:
"Then what do you want to do?"
"I'm going to sell the old house tomorrow, is it okay if your dad looks at the new house?" Su Mingcheng asked cautiously.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'm going to take a shower. I'm exhausted after running all day today!" Julie said and went to the bathroom.
…
Compared with Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li's unhappiness, Su Mingzhe's purchase of a house went very smoothly in a few days.
I only looked at a few houses and finally settled on a villa with a total value of 64.32 million yuan near Hongqiao Airport.
The villa has two floors above ground, with a construction area of 380 square meters, five bedrooms, two living rooms and seven bathrooms, and there are small gardens in the front and back.
The first floor includes a large living room of more than 30 square meters, a kitchen and dining room of more than 50 square meters, and a guest room of 26 square meters with an independent bathroom.
There are a total of four bedrooms on the second floor, of which the master bedroom is very large. The bedroom plus dressing room and bathroom total more than 40 square meters, and there is also a balcony.
In the basement there is a garage for two cars, a video room, a wine cabinet, and a study.
Of course, the nanny's room is also on this floor. Although it is a basement, it also has windows.
Su Mingzhe went in and took a look and fell in love with it. He took the full price without saying a word.
Moreover, there is an international bilingual kindergarten a few hundred meters away, which is ranked among the best in Shanghai. Many teachers are foreign. It is also convenient for Xiaomi and her future younger siblings to go to school.
Father Wu also liked this house very much. After the agent left, he sat on the big sofa in the living room and admired:
"Mingzhe, this house is really nice!"
Su Mingzhe also sat on the sofa and smiled:
"Then you can move in with me when the time comes. I'm not being polite. Such a big house will be a bit empty if you and my mother don't come!"
Father Wu shook his head and refused:
"Forget it, your mother can come by herself if she wants, but I can't come. This house is good, but it's a bit far from my work. I have to get up at least an hour early to go to work every day!"
"Then you can come here after you retire. The air here is still good!" Su Mingzhe suggested.
In fact, Wu's father still didn't want to come over. No matter how nice this place was, it was still not his own home, and the place he lived in was not comfortable.
But he did not reject it directly and said in disbelief:
"Let's talk about the future later. It will still be four or five years before I retire, but it's still okay to come and stay for two days on the weekend!"
Su Mingzhe nodded and did not persuade him again.
Father Wu remembered something again:
"Mingzhe, when do you plan to move here?"
Su Mingzhe looked up at the decoration of the new house and sighed:
"Now I feel more and more that it is better at home, and I don't want to stay abroad for a moment. To be honest, when I usually go abroad, I don't dare to go out alone at night!"
Wu’s father also hopes that his children will be by his side, and when the children come back, his wife will also come back:
"Then when Feifei gives birth to the baby?"
Su Mingzhe shook his head:
"In another month, when Feifei is stable and can fly, we will come back!"
