Tick tock, tick tock...
The quartz clock left by the previous tenant hangs on the east wall. The second hand shakes and makes a crisp mechanical sound.
Su Daqiang threw away the crab legs in his hand, stood up and walked to the bedroom.
His movement woke everyone up.
Lin Yue reacted quickly and stood up to stop Su Daqiang: "Don't pretend to be crazy, and don't even think about leaving. Why don't you explain something about such a crucial issue?"
"Mingcheng, aren't you embarrassing dad? Also, you are not allowed to say that about mom!"
Su Mingzhe felt that Su Daqiang was very pitiful. If what the second child said was true, then Su Daqiang not only wore one cuckold, but at least three cuckolds - one for his father, one for the second child's father, and that Zhao Meilan wanted to A male doctor from Shanghai who defected.
"Embarrassing him? If he doesn't embarrass him, can he ignore it and treat it as if the problem doesn't exist? Su Mingzhe, I have helped you answer a problem that is plaguing the whole society. It is better to tell this matter in front of your family today than to make a fuss in the society. It's a joke, if you still want to be ruined by him and your wife and children are separated, the door is over there, you can take Wu Fei and Xiaomi and leave, no one will stop you."
"This...Mingcheng..."
He also wanted to make amends for Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan, but Wu Fei stepped on his foot and glared threateningly, causing Su Mingzhe to stop talking.
In fact, he also knew that when things got to this point, they would definitely have to come out and sort out their personal responsibilities. As for how many cuckolds Su Daqiang had worn and how many wrong things Zhao Meilan had done, avoiding the problem would not change the facts.
"Su Mingcheng! If you don't want to support your parents, just tell me, is there any point in telling such a lie?" Su Mingyu could not and was unwilling to admit the fact that if Su Mingcheng and Su Mingzhe were not Su Daqiang's sons, and she was the only one who was Su Daqiang's child, Then isn't it even more unreasonable to deal with the cold treatment she has received at home over the years?
And what does Su Mingcheng mean by making such a sensational conclusion on New Year's Eve? Doesn't he want to take on the responsibility of supporting Su Daqiang?
"Lying? Just because you don't believe me, I brought all the identification results." He took out the folded documents from his trouser pocket and threw them on the table.
Su Mingyu picked it up and scanned it, her face so gloomy that she could almost drip with water.
Originally, Xiaomi was sitting next to her aunt eating snow rice cakes, but when she saw her profile, she was so frightened that she threw herself into Wu Fei's arms.
Lin Yue pulled Su Daqiang to the single sofa: "Tell me, what happened that year."
Su Daqiang: "..."
"The DNA test results are there, and it will be the same if you do it again. Can you just keep silent and pretend that nothing happened?"
"..."
"Yes, for so many years you have been like an ostrich burying your head in the sand, thinking that if you can't see the enemy, there will be no danger."
"..."
No matter how sarcastic he was, Su Daqiang remained silent.
"Okay, if you don't say it, let me tell you. Of course, this is all speculation. If what I said is wrong, you can correct me." Lin Yue looked at Su Mingyu, Su Mingzhe and Wu Fei sitting on the three-person sofa and said, "You guys How do you think Zhao Meilan, a rural woman, got into the hospital as a nurse? Is it possible that there was no shady transaction? How do you think Zhao Zheng got his urban registered permanent residence? How could a young nurse or an ordinary school employee have the ability to work in that hospital? In the past, did they open doors for their relatives? You have also seen Su Daqiang’s character. Is it possible to expect him to smoothen the relationship? A rural woman marries a man with an urban registered permanent residence and a decent job. Her identity and status are already weakened. What did she rely on to suppress Su Daqiang for more than 30 years? Is it just because of her strong personality? I think it can be seen from her behavior in front of the neighbors in Tongli. The social environment of that era was not like what it is now. Such freedom, if a woman wants to support the entire family and quickly be promoted from a nurse to a head nurse, you can think of what she has to pay without me telling you, right?"
At this point, he paused and turned to look at Su Daqiang.
"You found out later, didn't you? That's why she went to Shanghai to find that doctor and decided to take away both sons - you all know that Su Mingzhe and I are not your biological children. But Unfortunately, she didn't make it because she was pregnant with her third child at the time, and her mother tried her best to stop her from aborting the child. So Su Mingyu was born, and the two of you continued to make do for more than thirty years. Year, am I right?”
Su Daqiang drooped his eyelids and shook his back. After a while, he said in a depressed tone: "I want to divorce your mother. Your mother is so angry with my mother. It's her mother who won't let her divorce, and the neighborhood committee won't let her divorce." If you don’t approve, then Mingyu will appear.”
"..."
That's it, Su Daqiang shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Su Mingyu looked impatient: "What then?"
"Mingyu, where is Xiao Cai? It's time for her to take me home, right? Where's Xiao Cai? I still need to write a poem for her... By the way, do you see the calligraphy I'm going to give to Lao Nie? Did you see it? Don’t hide it from me. Believe it or not, I will go to the police station and sue you for elder abuse.”
Okay, I started interrupting again.
But despite this, even though the above words are a bit confusing, it does not prevent everyone from drawing the outline of the matter in their minds - Su Mingcheng is right, he and Su Mingzhe are not Su Daqiang's sons.
"Su Mingzhe, do you still remember the surveillance video I showed you in Rende Garden? Now you should know whether what I said is true or false, right? Since Su Daqiang blamed Zhao Meilan for his damn death, he will not die at the critical moment. It makes sense to save, doesn’t it?”
"Mingcheng, can you please stop talking." Su Mingzhe was very crazy because what happened to his parents was really difficult for him, a top student who graduated from Stanford University, to accept.
Lin Yue was unmoved and continued: "That's why Su Daqiang didn't dare to go back to his old house. He was not allowed to put Zhao Meilan's photos in the room. After moving to the new house, he kept nothing from the past. Others can't understand that a father made his second son bankrupt. The couple divorced and continued to be evil, turning the eldest son into a penniless pauper. Moreover, between the children and the nanny, he would rather choose the latter than get close to the former. Now you know the reason, yes, you and I am not his son, I am his enemy."
Su Mingzhe opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Wu Fei hugged Xiaomi and looked at the four people of the Su family blankly, asking herself over and over again in her heart what kind of family she married into. It was too chaotic, but... then she thought about her and Su What Mingcheng has done, as well as the future between himself and Su Mingzhe, and the relationship between Su Mingzhe and Su Mingcheng, it is just a matter of fifty steps and a hundred steps.
Coupled with this is the impure master-disciple relationship between Su Mingyu and Meng Zhiyuan.
As the old saying goes, it is true that one family does not stay in the same house.
Lin Yue saw that Su Mingzhe's mentality had collapsed, and then looked at Su Mingyu: "Do you still have the nerve to ask us to support him this time? I have already paid back the money I spent since childhood. Since it is just a parenting relationship, not a beloved one, Blood relatives, I don't want to, and I have no obligation to support an old man who hates me, so you have to take care of raising a father yourself. It's the New Year, and I have to go home to spend time with my wife and children."
After saying this, he stood up and walked to the door, taking the scarf from the coat rack and wrapping it around it.
"Oh, by the way, Happy New Year."
The door opens.
Bang~
The door is closed.
Su Mingcheng left like this.
A gust of wind came in, making the people sitting on the sofa feel cold all over.
Happy New Year?
It seems that this is Su Mingcheng's New Year's gift to them.
"Where are my new clothes? Mingyu, help me find them quickly. Tomorrow your eldest brother will pick me up and I still need to wear them when I go to the United States."
"Dad, can you wake up? Can you calm down for a while?"
"Where did I put it? Where did I put it? It's so expensive, several thousand yuan."
"dad!"
Su Mingyu couldn't bear it anymore and knocked the white porcelain bowl in front of her on the table.
There was a soft snap, the bowl shattered, and the glass surface of the coffee table was also cracked, with a circle of spider web-like cracks radiating outward.
Xiaomi was frightened and burst into tears.
Wu Fei pushed the lost Su Mingzhe, hugged Xiaomi and left the sofa: "Xiaomi is sleepy, let's go."
"..."
Su Mingzhe said nothing.
She pushed hard again, and then he reacted, stood up slowly, glanced at the father whom Su Mingyu had been frightened to call for almost forty years, and followed Wu Fei outside.
This year... After thinking about it, he felt that the only word "horror" could describe it.
Su Mingyu didn't go to see them off. She put her hands in her hair and sat blankly on the sofa. She didn't know whether she was digesting what Su Mingcheng and Su Daqiang said or worrying about her future.
Whoosh~pop~
A huge firework exploded outside the window, briefly lighting up the night sky.
