Chapter 132 Husband and wife quarrel
Lin Yuan's hand climbed up to Zhu Li's waist, his movements were gentle and skillful, and he was about to kiss her, but Zhu Li raised his hand to block it with the palm of his hand. She asked crisply: "Did you leave your phone here on purpose?"< br>
The corner of Lin Yuan's mouth raised slightly, and he kissed her flawless palm gently, with a relaxed smile on his face, and explained: "Even if I deliberately left my phone at your house, then I can't count on you to give it to me." I’ll send it over.”
"What's going on with your garment factory? Didn't you say before that you didn't want to cooperate with Mingcheng? Why did you say you were short of money this time? Also, why did you come here with Su Mingyu?"
Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and slowly climbed up Zhu Li's waist with his hands, his voice was a little confusing: "Are you caring about me, or are you caring about him?"< br>
Julie was stunned for a moment, a look of pain quickly appeared in her eyes, tears welled up in her eyes, she bit her lip and said with a trembling voice: "Lin Yuan, don't do this, please."
If Lin Yuan continued to tease her like this, she was afraid that she would really be unable to control herself and make one wrong step after another. She didn't want to become the woman she despised the most.
Lin Yuan noticed Julie's fragile mood, his hand slowly slipped from her body, took half a step back, took out a tissue from his pocket and gently handed it over, put away the cynical look on his face, and said seriously:
"Lili, I don't want to belittle Su Mingcheng as a person, nor do I want to exaggerate my feelings for you. I just feel that if we are the right people, fate will not let us miss it."
After saying that, he took the mobile phone in Julie's hand, turned around and left easily and simply.
Julie stood there, her eyes full of shock and confusion.
She subconsciously looked at the palm of her hand that Lin Yuan had kissed just now, and the warmth seemed to still remain on her skin.
That night, Julie couldn't sleep.
Lin Yuan's words were sincere, but after he left Zhu Li, he made an appointment with a young model with two hair to learn foreign languages.
In his eyes, Julie is indeed a good woman, beautiful, cute, gentle, childish-looking, reasonable, and occasionally has a little temper, but it makes people feel just right.
He really likes Julie very much, and he can show his special affection in front of her, but to say that he is protecting his body for Julie would be too ridiculous.
When he arrived at the class location, the teacher's name was Sophia. She was fair-skinned, blond and blue-eyed. Her long legs were particularly eye-catching. The two soon started fighting.
……
the next day.
Around six o'clock in the evening.
Everyone came to the Su family's old house one after another.
Su Daqiang and Lin Yuan were sitting in the back room.
Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li sat at the table.
Su Mingyu was sitting on the stool near the door.
As soon as Su Mingyu sat down, Su Mingcheng frowned and said to her impatiently, "Su Mingyu, if you don't want to support dad, just say it straight away and don't beat around the bush. Dad again I’m going to the United States in a few days, what are you going to do?”
He didn't want to come over today. If Su Daqiang hadn't meant it and Zhu Li agreed, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to Su Mingyu.
Su Mingyu sneered back: "It's just because dad is going to the United States, so before leaving, the accounts must be settled clearly."
Zhu Li's face was full of doubts, her beautiful brows were slightly furrowed, and she asked: "Mingyu, you always talk about accounts and accounts. What accounts are they?"
Su Mingyu said categorically: "Of course it's the money Su Mingcheng spent on his parents over the past thirty years since he was a child."
When Su Mingcheng heard this, his face was full of disdain. He felt that Su Mingyu's words were extremely ridiculous: "Don't you think you are naive? Oh, haven't you ever used family money? How can you calculate the family's accounts clearly?"
Su Mingyu said firmly: "Of course I can. Dad remembers the accounting very carefully."
"Then you have to say this, dad is living in our house these days, and we still have a lot of debts, do we have to settle them too?"
Su Mingyu stared at Su Daqiang and said: "Dad, please listen carefully. Su Mingcheng has agreed to settle the accounts. Go to the back room and take out your account book. The second sister-in-law happens to be a professional accountant. I just made it clear today, lest anyone say I am unreasonable. .”
Su Daqiang was silent for a while, then slowly got up and returned to the back room, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets for his account books.
Lin Yuan suddenly found it funny. Su Daqiang just felt that he got up too quickly and seemed too eager, so he deliberately pretended to be reluctant.
After a rustling sound, he came out holding a stack of thin notebooks.
He placed the account book on the table in front of Julie, then returned to his original position, pretending to be interrogated.
Zhu Li looked at her father-in-law with bated breath. She was doubtful of Su Mingyu's words.
Over the years, when Mingyu's eldest brother was abroad, they were always there to fulfill their filial piety regardless of Mingyu's affairs. They also bought things for his parents. However, Mingyu's words seemed to be taken advantage of by them.
Julie took a deep breath, picked up the account book, and began to look through the pages carefully.
Su Daqiang's accounts are clear and clear. There is no professional purchase, sales and inventory. He just records every expenditure and income in a primitive way, followed by notes explaining where the money went.
Julie only turned a few pages when she keenly noticed something was wrong.
Leaving aside the daily expenses, there is not even a single expense such as buying clothes for Mingyu during the holidays. On the contrary, there is a lot of money spent on buying clothes for Mingcheng, gifts for Mingzhe and mailing.
Except for some daily necessities, Su Mingyu has almost no additional expenses.
Only then did she understand what Lin Yuan said at the beginning, 'People are different'.
Su Mingcheng also casually took a book and flipped through it. His eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Oh my God, you also remember that the eldest brother bought two bunches of candied haws. Isn't this something the whole family can eat together?"
Su Daqiang responded calmly: "Your mother and I didn't eat."
Lin Yuan almost laughed out loud, identifying him as a member of the family.
Zhu Li turned to the back and asked doubtfully: "Dad, why are there no expenses for Mingyu after he turned eighteen?"
Su Daqiang explained: "Mingyu only remembered it until her freshman year, and then she stopped asking for money from her family. Since Mingzhe went to the United States for a work-study program, he has not spent any money from his family."
After hearing this, Zhu Li turned to look at Su Mingcheng. Seeing that she still looked indifferent, she felt ashamed for him.
Su Mingyu suddenly said: "Don't you want to know why dad refused to live with me? Because when I was eighteen years old, my parents sold my room directly, and all the money was used for my eldest brother to study abroad and for Su Mingcheng to find a job. I was so angry that I had a quarrel with them, and my parents even swore a vow and wrote a letter saying that they would not need to pay a penny even if they die of old age."
Su Daqiang lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Su Mingyu's tone at this time was too much like her mother.
Julie was also shocked and speechless. She had never thought that such a thing would happen in the Su family.
Lin Yuan interrupted at the right time and asked: "Uncle, is this true?"
Lin Yuan was extremely anxious as he never appeared in any scenes.
Zhu Li also turned her attention to Su Daqiang, who nodded slightly, acknowledging the matter.
Su Mingcheng naturally knew about this, but he didn't think it was anything at first. Mingyu didn't live at home often and would get married in the future.
Besides, it’s not just him who uses the money, so why do everyone present look at him with strange eyes.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan felt that the anger was not strong enough, so he sighed deliberately and asked: "Uncle, you told me before that Mingyu had a chance to sprint to Tsinghua University, but aunt refused to sign up for Mingyu's training class, so what's the matter? Really?”
Su Mingyu smiled bitterly: "I wanted to sign up for a tutoring class and sprint to Tsinghua University. My mother said that my family had no money to support me, but the next day she gave Su Mingcheng 2,000 yuan to go on a trip, haha."
Su Mingcheng suddenly became angry and shouted: "Can you control whoever you want to use your money? No, Dad, did you remember it wrong? Do I have so many accounts?"
Looking at her husband's appearance, Julie felt mixed emotions in her heart, including disappointment and helplessness.
Su Mingyu looked sternly: "Dad remembered correctly. Every account book has a name and number. Every account has an accurate time, place, reason, and..."
Su Mingcheng couldn't listen at all, and interrupted Su Mingyu fiercely: "Did I ask you? Did I ask you? Did I ask you?"
The voice was like violent thunder, carrying a strong sense of resistance.
He turned to Su Daqiang and asked: "Dad, did you remember this account incorrectly?"
Su Daqiang shook his head: "I remember correctly. I remember that I won the first prize in the work-study program for this ledger."
Su Mingyu sneered, her eyes full of disdain: "Su Mingcheng, why do you still have the nerve to yell at dad? Take a look for yourself, how much hard-earned money have you spent on dad over the years?"
"This is between me and my parents. I don't have half a dime with you, okay?" Su Mingcheng looked at Su Daqiang again, with a very dissatisfied tone, "Dad, you can keep accounts, but no, please take this account book What do you mean by coming out?”
Zhu Li couldn't stand Su Mingcheng's unreasonable behavior any longer. Her heart was filled with anger and her pretty face was cold. She said loudly: "Su Mingcheng, shut up. Before I finish reading the account book, go to the back room and stay. Don't do it." Come out.”
Although Su Mingcheng was very reluctant, he had always doted on his wife, and in this situation, he felt that he had no shame in staying any longer.
He pointed his index finger at Su Daqiang and said through gritted teeth, "That's great!" Then he turned around and walked into the back room and lay down on the bed.
Julie continued to look through the account book, her brows furrowed and her expression focused. The room was extremely quiet, with only the rustle of turning pages echoing in the air.
After a while, Lin Yuan broke the silence: "Mingyu, since the accounts are here today, why don't you go back first."
Zhu Li was also a little embarrassed to face Mingyu, and said firmly: "Mingyu, don't worry, I will settle this account clearly, and Mingcheng and I will pay back every penny we owe to my parents. ”
Hearing this, Su Mingyu's impression of her second sister-in-law Zhu Li changed greatly. Her eyes showed appreciation, and she couldn't help thinking that Zhu Li was really a reasonable and good girl who could distinguish right from wrong, and Su Mingcheng was really not worthy of her.
Su Daqiang was delighted when he heard this: "Lili, is what you said true?"
Julie nodded, "Dad, don't worry, we will do what we say."
Mingyu stared at Zhu Li for a long time, then stood up and said, "Okay, I'll leave first."
Su Mingyu has worked hard all the way until today, and has developed a pair of eyes that can see into people's hearts. She can feel her father's fear and her second sister-in-law's guilt.
Her father always shrank in front of her, and the second sister-in-law felt deeply guilty in front of her because of what Su Mingcheng had done. As for Su Mingcheng, not to mention, he was jealous and resentful of her.
If it weren't for the account book, she wouldn't want to stay any longer.
Since the second sister-in-law intends to repay, there is no need for her to continue hanging on.
She nodded slightly towards Zhu Li and Lin Yuan, her movements were crisp and clear, she turned around and left quickly.
When Su Daqiang saw Su Mingyu gone, he felt that most of the pressure on his head disappeared. Lin Yuan suggested: "Uncle, you haven't had dinner yet, and it's rare for you to go back to your old house. I'll eat some with you nearby."
Su Daqiang wanted to leave, but he was hesitant. He seemed to be weighing something, and his inner tangle was clearly revealed.
Lin Yuan saw this and said with a smile: "The accounts of the past few decades have not been finished so quickly. Even if you can't trust your second brother, can you still not trust your second sister-in-law?"
When Su Daqiang heard this, he was slightly relieved and replied: "Lili, I can trust you."
When he and Lin Yuan walked out, he thought that Zhu Li wanted to pay back the money. He glanced in the direction of the inner room and added in a low voice: "Your mother plays mahjong every day. Although she loses and wins, the less she loses, the more she wins. Some earn dozens of yuan every day, and most of them go into Mingcheng’s pocket.”
Zhu Li forced out a smile and nodded with all her strength, feeling angry and ashamed. It was obviously Su Mingcheng who did it, but it made her feel ashamed.
Ten minutes later, Lin Yuan turned back alone.
The room was extremely quiet, except for the sound of Julie flipping through the ledgers.
Julie sat at the table, the light shining on her body, reflecting her focused expression.
There is a mobile phone beside her, and the page showing the addition and subtraction of accounts is displayed on the screen.
Lin Yuan sat down next to Zhu Li, and Zhu Li's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
But he didn't make any move, he just looked at her tenderly, until her face turned red.
She still didn't understand at the moment that Lin Yuan intended to send Su Daqiang and Su Mingyu away, but... there was Su Mingcheng in the back room.
She glanced at Lin Yuan playfully and reminded: "Don't mess around, he...he's still in there."
Lin Yuan spread his hands, pretending to be innocent: "I didn't do anything."
Julie bit her lip: "It will be too late when you do it."
She continued to flip through the pages to herself. Every time she turned a page, she gained a new understanding of how much Su Mingcheng had chewed up his old age.
Lin Yuan put his hand on his forehead and looked at her quiet and delicate face quietly.
Julie blushed and said, "Can you stop looking at me like that?"
The corners of Lin Yuan's mouth raised slightly and he said softly: "I just want to see more of you. After all, moments like this are rare."
After hearing this, Zhu Li's heart moved slightly, but she still pretended to be calm and continued to flip through the ledger.
"Eat something." Lin Yuan suggested.
Zhu Li raised her eyes and looked at Lin Yuan with some confusion. Before she could answer, Lin Yuan made a fist with his right hand and put it in front of her, and said mysteriously: "Blow on it."
Julie didn't know why, her red lips opened slightly, and she let out a breath of hot breath.
Lin Yuan's left hand was seen covering his right fist, and then he slowly closed it together. When he opened it again, a delicate matcha cake appeared in his hand, exuding an alluring aroma.
Julie's eyes sparkled with surprise, her mouth was slightly open, and her face was filled with an incredible look.
Lin Yuan joked: "Eat quickly, don't be so hungry anymore."
Julie knew she was talking about what happened last time, and a shy look flashed across her pretty face.
After she came over from get off work, she really hadn't eaten yet. Julie couldn't wait to pick up the cake and took a bite. The sweetness of the cake spread in her mouth. She closed her eyes with a look of satisfaction on her face.
The cake is actually real! This is amazing!
When Lin Yuan saw cake crumbs stuck to the corner of Julie's mouth, he stretched out his hand and wiped it away gently. Julie was startled at first, then a blush instantly appeared on her face, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
She turned her face slightly, avoiding Lin Yuan's gaze, and whispered: "Thank you."
Julie's voice was as light as a mosquito, but it contained a hint of shyness that was hard to conceal.
Lin Yuan seemed very well-behaved this time, which unexpectedly made Julie feel a little uncomfortable.
After Zhu Li read through the account book, she suddenly felt a cold sweat break out from behind, and a cold feeling pierced her heart.
Only then did she understand why Su Mingyu seemed so indifferent at Su's mother's funeral.
I also understood why Su Mingyu hated Su Mingcheng, because the money Su Mingcheng used was scraped off Mingyu's head.
The rest of the accounts are similar. Mingyu has nothing to do with this family. Most of all the expenses are piled on Mingcheng, while a small part is divided between Mingzhe and the two elders.
She is a certified public accountant, a person who lives by numbers and relies on numbers as evidence. She believes in this account, but this account overturns the inherent concepts in her mind.
The numbers on this account allowed her to see the completely different mother-in-law, father-in-law, and husband through the warm and warm scenes of the Su family in the past.
She felt that her husband was so strange.
Is he stupid or stupid? He has not seen such injustice in his family for so many years? How can he, a person with vested interests, feel at ease?
If their mother-in-law had not passed away and they did not need to support their father-in-law, this situation would probably continue.
Thinking about it this way, she was also a vested interest, and this realization made her ashamed.
"Su Mingcheng, come out."
Su Mingcheng, who returned to the back room, had already fallen asleep with his eyes closed.
After hearing Zhu Li's call, Su Mingcheng walked out in a daze. He looked around and saw Lin Yuan sitting on a stool looking at his mobile phone, while Zhu Li's face was red with anger. He hurriedly walked over and said with a smile: "Where's dad?"
Lin Yuan replied: "I went to eat at the restaurant at the entrance of the alley."
Su Mingcheng nodded, came to Zhu Li and said with a smile: "Am I borrowing more or paying back more?"
Zhu Li didn't expect that Su Mingcheng would ask such a heartless question, so she couldn't help but said coldly: "Can't you just use a calculator to add, add, subtract and do the calculations?"
Su Mingcheng felt a little confused: "Why are you so angry? Didn't I just ask?"
Julie was originally in a restless mood because she didn't sleep well last night, and because of the account book, she was already feeling sulky.
"You still have the nerve to say it? You haven't paid back much."
Su Mingcheng looked helpless: "My mother didn't say she wanted to pay it back when I borrowed it. My father is really boring. What do you think he wants to do?"
"Su Mingcheng, you are really shameless." Zhu Li scolded mercilessly.
If it were just the two of them in private, Su Mingcheng might not have done anything wrong, but in front of Lin Yuan, Su Mingcheng felt that he couldn't lose face, and his tone became tough:
"Why am I so shameless? My mother asked me to buy the house when we got married, and my mother asked me to decorate it. My mother asked me to hold the wedding reception. My mother said she didn't have to pay back the money."
Julie glanced at him speechlessly, picked up her bag and left.
"Why are you walking? Why don't you go back by car?"
Su Mingcheng wanted to chase him, but when he saw that Lin Yuan was still here, he felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Yuan raised his chin towards Zhu Li, "Second brother, aren't you going to chase me?"
Su Mingcheng said harshly: "What are you chasing? Hey, let her get used to it."
Seeing that all the people in the Su family's old house had left, Lin Yuan and Su Mingcheng also walked out together.
Su Mingcheng went to the alley to pick up Su Daqiang first, but Lin Yuan drove away first.
After a while, Lin Yuan saw Zhu Li walking on the road.
He lowered the window, their eyes met, and they understood each other. Julie did not hesitate, and naturally opened the door and got in the car.
The car drove smoothly, and the two of them did not communicate. Julie didn't sleep well last night, and due to the quarrel just now, she quickly fell asleep in the car.
After the car parked in Shuanghu Community, it took a long time for Julie to wake up from her sleep.
Lin Yuan smoothed the broken hair on her temples very gently and did not do anything else.
He didn't want Julie to think he was coveting her body, even though he was.
But the more he acted like this, the more Julie felt his tenderness and delicacy.
Julie bit her lip and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back and finally just said: "I'm going back."
After Zhu Li returned, she and Su Mingcheng argued for a long time about paying back the money.
Especially Su Mingcheng's words, "Dad is going to the United States, why do you care so much?" made Julie even more disappointed.
Zhu Li was so angry that she asked Su Mingcheng to sleep on the sofa.
The two argued for a long time before deciding on a plan to repay Su Daqiang each 2,000 yuan a month.
Even if Su Daqiang goes to the United States in the future, the money must be repaid on time.
Su Daqiang was so happy to know that he could get the money repaid by his son and daughter-in-law every month.
He kept praising his daughter-in-law Zhu Li for being sensible.
From then on, the two worked overtime even harder every day, just to earn more overtime pay so that they could repay Su Daqiang's money.
……
A week later.
Su Daqiang's visa was finally processed, and he only needed a plane ticket to fly to the United States immediately.
Su Mingzhe did not expect that Su Daqiang's visa had been processed, but his new job was still far away.
