Yesterday, Su Mingzhe took Su Daqiang to look at the house.
The two of them first went to see a luxuriously decorated two-bedroom and one-living room, because he hoped that the old man would like the decoration style of the house and no longer think about three-bedroom and one-living room.
Naturally, Su Daqiang asked him if he wanted to break his promise. Do you want to be as watery as Su Mingyu about your promises?
Su Mingzhe had nothing to say, so he could only take his father to see a three-bedroom apartment with three bedrooms and one living room. They didn't want a small three-bedroom apartment. After shopping for almost a day, he finally settled on a 130-square-meter apartment with three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms overlooking Jinji Lake. For a house, the good guy’s down payment was directly increased by 60% based on his budget.
When she went back and told Wu Fei, she suddenly became angry and forced Su Mingzhe to agree to Su Mingyu's method. If she didn't agree, she would raise the children by herself in the future. Although she didn't say it explicitly, the implication was that she would get divorced if she didn't cooperate.
What else can be done? On the left is Su Daqiang, who has three bedrooms and one living room, and on the right is his wife and children. He can only choose to compromise and sell his second child.
In the evening of that day, in Wuzhong District, Wu Yuerong Ji.
Lin Yue drove a second-hand Chevrolet Cruze to his destination, found a parking space, parked the car, and walked into the hotel's private room.
"Hey, Mingcheng is here and I'm waiting for you."
Su Mingzhe stood up to greet him with a smile, but his expression looked awkward. After all, as the boss of the Su family, he always felt that this was too embarrassing.
Su Mingyu was still the same as before, sitting on the antique Soviet-style armchair with his head lowered and playing with his mobile phone. He didn't even raise his eyelids when he entered the room.
Wu Fei didn't come, so it was just the three of them.
"Sit, sit." Su Mingzhe asked him to sit down, rubbed his hands and said, "Do you remember this restaurant we ate in when we were kids? I didn't expect it to be so big."
"It's okay." Lin Yue responded casually.
"Here, here's the menu, see if there's anything you want to eat?"
"Forget it, boss, it all depends on your mood when eating and drinking. Sitting with people you don't like, even if you eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and drink old wine, it won't be any better than eating glutinous rice. Let’s talk about something.”
With a snap, he threw the menu onto the table.
It was only then that Su Mingyu raised her head and glanced at him, with undisguised contempt and hatred in her eyes.
"this……"
Su Mingzhe smiled awkwardly and could only ask the waiter to serve the dishes he just ordered. He didn't ask for wine because he was really worried that his second brother would get into a fight with Su Mingyu after drinking too much.
While waiting for the food, he first put his hand down and patted it. After a while, he stretched it out flat on the table and tapped the board. He hesitated several times, but finally made up his mind and said: "Mingcheng, this time I called you here to discuss buying a house for our dad."
Lin Yue said: "Just buy it, you can make the decision."
"It's like this." Su Mingzhe said: "According to my original plan, it was enough for Dad to live in a two-bedroom and one-living room, and then hire a nanny for him to do housework and so on. But when I went to see the house yesterday, Dad saw He won a three-bedroom, one-living room with a lake view. He said he liked this one and the layout was reasonable. From now on, he would live in the master bedroom, leave another room for a nanny, and use the remaining room as a study. You also know Dad’s hobby. I usually write, draw, and so on. In fact, this is very good for the elderly. It can cultivate their sentiments and cultivate their moral character. There is no harm in it."
"Then what?"
"Then...just..."
"You just don't have enough money? Your wife is worried about you and won't let you buy it?"
The first half of this sentence was acceptable, but the second half suddenly made Su Mingzhe feel embarrassed. He had better save face and be strong since he was a child. When he grew up, he was admitted to Stanford and settled in the United States. Anyway, in his opinion, he was as good as Delhi. As an outstanding talent, Zhao Meilan passed away suddenly. He had no chance to fulfill his filial piety. Now he only has one father left. If he continues to fail to fulfill his filial piety, not only will people in Delhi accuse him of being unfilial, but he himself will not be able to overcome the hurdle in his heart. It is a pity to think It was quite beautiful, but the reality was very harsh. The matter of the house was so difficult for him.
"Sir, your order."
The waiter knocked on the door and walked in, bringing out the sizzling eggplant, fried pork hooves, fish head appetizer, and salt-and-pepper bullfrog that he had just ordered, which somewhat relieved Su Mingzhe's embarrassment.
"Want some wine?"
"Thank you, no need for now."
Su Mingzhe watched the waiter leave and leaned towards Lin Yue's position. Just as he was about to explain his situation to him, Su Mingyu put away her phone.
"Brother, it's hard to listen to you. Let's put it this way, the eldest brother only has 700,000, which can't cover the down payment of the apartment that Dad is interested in. You are also Su Daqiang's son, so you should bear part of it."
"How much difference?"
"500,000, half for me and half for you. As for the monthly payment in the future, the three of us will share it equally."
500,000, half of it per person is 250,000.
When she talked about the monthly payment, Lin Yue recalled the scene in the TV series where Wu Fei forced Su Mingzhe to ask Su Mingcheng to share the house fee. She meant that the boss would pay the down payment, and Su Mingcheng would repay the subsequent monthly payments. She also said that Su Mingcheng could afford to pay it back.
Su Daqiang is over 60, how many more years can he borrow? Assuming a loan of RMB 2 million for seven years, the monthly repayment alone would be RMB 28,000. Su Mingcheng had his own mortgage, and he had to pay Su Daqiang RMB 4,000 a month. What a waste.
I don’t know if Wu Fei has no brains, or thinks the second child is easy to bully, or why she doesn’t eat minced meat?
But that's right, she was quite jealous of how much Zhao Meilan took care of the second child. Even in the scene where Su Mingyu was sent to the hospital, she didn't even ask why the bitch was beaten.
"Su Mingyu, are you using my rule of settling accounts to calculate against me? If you and I are on the same starting line in terms of the resources we get from our parents, then we should also share the money to buy a house for Su Daqiang equally, and then use your High income comes to drag me down as a poor person.”
He stretched out his hands and patted them: "I used my time and energy to squeeze you, so you use your money to fight back against me, and treat others the same way you treat them. What a sinister idea."
After speaking, he turned to look at Su Mingzhe: "And Wu Fei, this bitch, has already formed an alliance with Su Mingyu? Wu-Shu Alliance, but do you know what the result of the Wu-Shu Alliance will be?"
what's the result?
Su Mingzhe had no idea for the time being. He just felt that the word "bitch" was too harsh.
"Mingcheng, what are you talking about? That's your sister-in-law."
He must have been angry before, but not now, because he knew very well that what the second brother said was right, and what Wu Fei did was quite excessive. He knew clearly that the second brother gave all the money to Su Daqiang, and would rather cooperate for the sake of his own good. Su Mingyu humiliated her brother-in-law.
"Isn't she a bitch? You should know better than me what role she played in this matter. In order not to reduce the quality of your life, you can sacrifice your brother-in-law. You saw Julie's statement at the dinner table the day before yesterday, right? We are both the daughter-in-law of the old Su family. She is willing to follow me who has nothing. How about Wu Fei, is she willing to follow you who have nothing? Then tell me, compared to Julie, is she a bitch? "
This is to define character based on the standards of comparing people to others and throwing away goods.
The theory is wrong, but Su Mingzhe really can't refute it, after all, it is wrong.
Lin Yue did not intend to let them go like this, and continued: "As for buying a house for Su Daqiang, do you want to buy it? I don't care if you want to buy it for him, so don't get involved with me, but don't say I'm not close. As a favor, you bought a house, and after he moves in, I can pay my share according to the market rent price."
Su Mingyu curled her lips: "Su Mingcheng, aren't you filial? Why, you are acting like a fool and not admitting it?"
"Oh, Su Mingyu, in your eyes, money to support the elderly is always the most important thing, right? Now that I say that, I won't be able to pay the rent. I will take care of Su Daqiang on a monthly basis. After you have paid off your mental debt, I will take care of you for a month. He takes care of a month, you take care of a month, he eats what I eat, what accommodation conditions I have, and what accommodation conditions he has, just like when he raised me, he thinks he can find a place to sleep by himself and find food by himself if he follows me to endure hardships. , that’s fair, isn’t it?”
"you……"
It's over. Su Mingyu not only didn't use money to disgust him, but instead got him in. It doesn't matter whether it is from a legal point of view or a humane point of view, it is justified and fair. After all, the family conditions of the children are different. Forcing a unified standard is a bit excessive. It is only right to pay tribute to the elderly as much as possible based on your own financial situation.
However, with Su Daqiang's picky character, how could he endure hardships like Su Mingcheng? Then you must find the rich boss and third child. Can you ignore this situation? Regardless, he will be scolded for being unfilial, but the second child can say "I am poor and I am justified."
Lin Yue answered: "What am I?"
Su Mingyu forced down the turbulent emotions in her heart, took a deep breath and said, "It's okay if you don't pay. We can sell the old house to help dad raise the down payment."
Lin Yue snorted coldly: "Su Mingyu, this is the real purpose of you and the boss, but unfortunately, my answer is 'impossible'."
