Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 132 Husband and wife quarrel
Lin Yuan's hand climbed up Zhu Li's waist, his movements were gentle and skillful. Just as he was about to kiss her, Zhu Li raised her hand to block him. She asked crisply, "Did you leave your phone here on purpose?"

Lin Yuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and gently kissed her flawless white palm. With a relaxed smile on his face, he explained: "Even if I deliberately left my phone at your house, I never expected that you would bring it to me."

"What's going on with your clothing 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 on the corner of his mouth, his hands slowly climbed up along Zhu Li's waist, and his voice was a little bewitching: "Are you concerned about me or him?"

Zhu Li 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 in 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 not be able to control herself. One wrong step would lead to all the wrong steps. She didn't want to become the woman she despised the most.

Lin Yuan sensed Zhu Li's fragile mood, his hands slowly slipped from her body, he took a half step back, took out a tissue from his pocket and gently handed it to her, then he put away the cynical look on his face and said seriously:

"Lili, I don't want to belittle Su Mingcheng, 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 each other."

After saying that, he took the phone from Julie's hand, turned around and left in a casual and decisive manner.

Julie stood there, her eyes full of astonishment and confusion.

She subconsciously looked at the palm of her hand that had just been kissed by Lin Yuan, and the warmth seemed to still remain on her skin.

Julie couldn't sleep that night.

Lin Yuan's words were sincere and heartfelt, but after he left Zhu Li, he made an appointment with a young model to learn foreign languages.

In his eyes, Julie is indeed a good woman, pretty, cute, gentle, with a childlike face, reasonable, and occasionally a little bit of temper, but always just right.

He really liked Julie, and he could show his special affection for her in front of her, but to say that he remained a virgin for Julie was a little too ridiculous.

When he arrived at the class, the teacher was named Sophia. She was fair-skinned, beautiful, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Her long legs were particularly eye-catching. The two of them 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 sat near the inner room.

Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li sat at the table.

Su Mingyu sat on a 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, then just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush. Dad will be going to the United States in a few days. What on earth do you want to do?"

He didn't want to come here today. If Su Daqiang hadn't been interested and Zhu Li hadn't agreed, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to Su Mingyu.

Su Mingyu sneered in response: "Because Dad is going to the United States, the accounts must be settled clearly before he leaves."

Zhu Li's face was full of confusion, her pretty eyebrows slightly frowned, and she asked, "Mingyu, you always talk about accounts, what accounts are you talking about?"

Su Mingyu said firmly: "Of course it's the money that Su Mingcheng has spent on his parents for more than 30 years since he was a child."

Su Mingcheng was full of disdain when he heard this, and felt that Su Mingyu's words were ridiculous: "Don't you think you are very naive? Ha, haven't you ever used the family's money? How can the family's accounts be calculated clearly?"

Su Mingyu said confidently: "Of course, Dad keeps very detailed accounts."

"So if that's what you mean, Dad has been living in our house these days, and we still have a lot of debts to settle, do we have to settle them too?"

Su Mingyu stared at Su Daqiang and said, "Dad, you heard it clearly, Su Mingcheng agreed to settle the accounts. You should go to the inner room and take out your account book. My second sister-in-law happens to be a professional accountant. It's a good opportunity to make it clear today so that no one will say that I am making trouble for no reason."

Su Daqiang was silent for a while, then slowly got up and went back to the inner room, rummaging through the drawers looking for the account book.

Lin Yuan suddenly found it funny. Su Daqiang simply felt that he stood up too quickly and seemed too eager, so he 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 obediently, pretending to be under interrogation.

Zhu Li looked at her father-in-law intently and held her breath. She was skeptical about Su Mingyu's words.

Over the years, the eldest brother was abroad and Mingyu didn't care about anything. They were the ones who took care of the filial piety and bought many things for their parents. But from what Mingyu said, it seemed like they were taking advantage.

Julie took a deep breath, picked up the account book, and began to read it carefully page by page.

Su Daqiang's accounts are clear and concise. There is no professional inventory management. He just records every expenditure and income in a primitive way, followed by notes to explain where the money went.

Julie had only turned a few pages when she keenly sensed something was wrong.

Not to mention daily expenses, there was no expense at all on buying clothes for Mingyu during the holidays. On the contrary, there was a lot of money spent on buying clothes for Mingcheng, buying gifts for Mingzhe, and sending mail.

Apart from some necessities of life, Su Mingyu had almost no extra expenses.

Only then did she understand what Lin Yuan had said, 'People are different.'

Su Mingcheng also casually picked up a book and flipped through it. His eyes widened in surprise and he said, "Oh my God, you also remembered that my brother bought two strings of candied haws. Isn't this for the whole family to eat together?"

Su Daqiang responded calmly: "Your mother and I didn't eat it."

Lin Yuan almost laughed out loud, and identified them as a family of geniuses.

Zhu Li flipped to the back and asked in confusion, "Dad, why is there no money for Mingyu after she turned 18?"

Su Daqiang explained, "Mingyu's only lasted until her freshman year. After that, she stopped asking for money from her family. Mingzhe has not spent any money from his family since he went to the United States to work and study."

After listening to this, Zhu Li turned to look at Su Mingcheng. Seeing that she still looked nonchalant, she felt ashamed for him.

Su Mingyu suddenly spoke up: "Don't you want to know why Dad doesn't want to live with me? Because when I was eighteen, my parents sold my room and used the money to pay for my eldest brother to study abroad and Su Mingcheng to find a job. I was so angry that I had a quarrel with them. My parents even swore a poisonous oath and signed a written agreement, saying that they would not need me to pay a penny even if they died in the future."

Su Daqiang lowered his head and dared not speak. Su Mingyu's tone at this time was too much like her mother's.

Zhu Li 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 getting anxious because there were no scenes for him to appear in.

Zhu Li also turned her gaze to Su Daqiang, and Su Daqiang nodded slightly, admitting the matter.

Su Mingcheng naturally knew about this, but he didn't think it was a big deal at first. Mingyu didn't live at home often and would get married in the future.

Besides, the money wasn't for him alone, so why were all the people present looking at him strangely?

Seeing this, Lin Yuan felt that his anger was not strong enough, so he sighed deliberately and asked, "Uncle, you told me before that Mingyu had a chance to enter Tsinghua University, but Auntie refused to enroll Mingyu in a training class. Is this true?"

Su Mingyu smiled bitterly: "I wanted to sign up for a tutoring class to get into Tsinghua University, but my mother said that the family didn't have the money to support me. But the next day she gave Su Mingcheng 2,000 yuan to go on a trip, haha."

Su Mingcheng was immediately furious and shouted, "Mom's money can be given to whoever she wants to use, what's it to you? No, Dad, did you remember it wrong? Do I have so many accounts?"

Julie looked at her husband like this, feeling mixed emotions, disappointed and helpless.

Su Mingyu's face was grim: "Dad is not mistaken, every account book has a name and number, and 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, is this account wrong?"

Su Daqiang shook his head: "I'm not mistaken. I remember that this account book won the first prize in the work-study program."

Su Mingyu sneered, her eyes full of contempt: "Su Mingcheng, how dare you yell at Dad? Take a good look at yourself, how much of Dad's hard-earned money have you spent over the years?"

"This is a matter between me and my parents. It has nothing to do with you, okay?" Su Mingcheng looked at Su Daqiang again, his tone full of dissatisfaction, "Dad, you can keep the accounts, but what's the point of taking out this account book?"

Zhu Li couldn't stand Su Mingcheng's unreasonable behavior any longer. She was furious and her pretty face turned cold. She said loudly, "Su Mingcheng, shut up. Go to the inner room and don't come out until I finish reading the account book."

Although Su Mingcheng was very reluctant, he always doted on his wife, and under such circumstances, he felt he had no face to stay any longer.

He pointed his index finger at Su Daqiang and said with gritted teeth, "Really good!" Then he turned and walked into the inner room and lay down on the bed.

Julie continued to flip through the account book, her brows furrowed, her expression focused. The room was very quiet, with only the rustling sound of turning pages echoing in the air.

After a while, Lin Yuan broke the silence and said, "Mingyu, since today's accounts are all here, why don't you go back first."

Zhu Li was a little embarrassed to face Mingyu, so she said firmly, "Mingyu, don't worry, I will settle the account. Mingcheng and I will pay Dad back every penny of the money we owe to him."

After hearing this, Su Mingyu's impression of her second sister-in-law Zhu Li changed greatly. Admiration was revealed in her eyes. She couldn't help thinking that Zhu Li was such a good girl who was sensible and could distinguish right from wrong, and Su Mingcheng was really not worthy of her.

Su Daqiang was delighted when he heard this: "Lili, are you telling the truth?"

Zhu Li nodded and said, "Dad, don't worry, we will do what we say."

Mingyu stared at Zhu Li for a long time before she stood up and said, "Okay, I'll leave first then."

Su Mingyu has worked hard all the way to where she is today, and has developed a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts. She can feel her father's fear and her second sister-in-law's guilt.

Her father always cowered in front of her, and her second sister-in-law felt deeply guilty in front of her because of Su Mingcheng's actions. As for Su Mingcheng, needless to say, she was jealous and resentful of her.

If it weren't for the account book issue, she wouldn't want to stay any longer.

Since the second sister-in-law is willing to repay the money, there is no need for her to stay any longer.

She nodded slightly to Zhu Li and Lin Yuan, turned around and left quickly.

Su Daqiang felt that most of the pressure on his head disappeared when he saw Su Mingyu leave. Lin Yuan suggested, "Uncle, you haven't had dinner yet, and it's rare for you to go back to the old house. I'll accompany you to eat something nearby."

Su Daqiang wanted to leave, but he was hesitant, as if he was weighing something, and his inner struggle was clearly revealed.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's not so easy to finish looking at the accounts of the past few decades. Even if you don't trust your second brother, can you not trust your second sister-in-law?"

Su Daqiang was slightly relieved when he heard this and replied, "Lili, I can trust you."

As he and Lin Yuan walked out, thinking of Zhu Li's intention 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 wins and loses, she wins more than she loses. She earns dozens of dollars every day, and most of it goes into Mingcheng's pocket."

Zhu Li forced a smile and nodded with difficulty, feeling angry and ashamed. It was clearly Su Mingcheng who did it, yet he made her feel so embarrassed.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Yuan returned alone.

The room was very quiet, with only the sound of Julie flipping through the account books.

Julie sat at the table, the light shining on her, reflecting her focused expression.

There was a mobile phone next to her, and the screen showed a page with account addition and subtraction calculations.

Lin Yuan sat down next to Zhu Li, and Zhu Li's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

However, he did not make any move. He just looked at her tenderly until her face turned red.

She understood at this moment that Lin Yuan intended to send Su Daqiang and Su Mingyu away, but... there was also Su Mingcheng in the inner room.

She glanced at Lin Yuan coquettishly and warned him, "Don't mess around, he... he's still inside."

Lin Yuan spread his hands and acted innocently: "I didn't do anything."

Julie bit her lip and said, "It will be too late when you do it."

She continued to flip through the pages, and with each page she turned, she gained a new understanding of the extent to which Su Mingcheng depended on his parents.

Lin Yuan held his forehead with his hand and just looked at her quiet and delicate face quietly.

Julie blushed and said, "Can you please stop looking at me like that?"

Lin Yuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said softly: "I just want to see you more, after all, such moments are rare."

When Zhu Li heard this, her heart was slightly moved, but she still pretended to be calm and continued to flip through the account book.

"Let's eat something." Lin Yuan suggested.

Zhu Li raised her eyes and looked at Lin Yuan with some doubt. Before she could answer, Lin Yuan clenched his right fist and put it in front of her, saying mysteriously: "Blow it."

Zhu Li didn't understand what was going on. She slightly opened her red lips and let out a breath of hot air.

Lin Yuan covered his right fist with his left hand, then slowly closed them together. When he opened them again, a delicate matcha cake appeared in his hand, exuding an enticing aroma.

Julie's eyes sparkled with surprise, her mouth slightly opened, and her face was full of disbelief.

Lin Yuan teased, "Eat quickly, and stop growling with hunger."

Julie knew she was talking about what happened last time, and a shy look flashed across her pretty face.

After she got off work, she had not eaten yet. Julie couldn't wait to pick up the cake and take a bite. The sweetness of the cake spread in her mouth. She closed her eyes and a satisfied look appeared on her face.

The cake is actually real! This is amazing!

Seeing cake crumbs on the corner of Zhu Li's mouth, Lin Yuan reached out and gently wiped them off. Zhu Li was stunned at first, a blush instantly appeared on her face, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

She turned her face slightly to avoid Lin Yuan's gaze and whispered, "Thank you."

Julie's voice was as light as a mosquito, but it carried a hint of shyness that was difficult to conceal.

Lin Yuan behaved very well this time, which unexpectedly made Zhu Li feel a little uncomfortable.

After Zhu Li finished looking through the account book, she suddenly felt a cold sweat breaking out on her back, and the chill pierced into her heart.

Only then did she understand why Su Mingyu seemed so indifferent at her mother's funeral.

I also understand why Su Mingyu hates Su Mingcheng, because all the money Su Mingcheng uses was taken from Mingyu.

The following accounts are similar. Mingyu has nothing to do with this family. Most of the expenses are piled on Mingcheng, and a small part is shared by Mingzhe and the two elders.

She is a certified public accountant who makes a living with numbers and relies on numbers as her basis. She believes in this account, but this account overturns the inherent concept in her mind.

The numbers in this account book made her see the completely different mother-in-law, father-in-law and husband through the warm and cozy scenes of the Su family in the past.

She felt that her husband was such a stranger.

Is he stupid or foolish? For so many years, he didn't see the injustice in his family? How can he, a vested interest holder, feel at ease?
If the mother-in-law had not passed away and they did not need to support the father-in-law, this situation would have continued.

In this way, she is also a vested interest, and this realization makes her ashamed.

"Su Mingcheng, come out."

Su Mingcheng, who returned to the inner room, had already fallen asleep with his eyes closed.

After hearing Zhu Li's call, Su Mingcheng came out in a daze. He looked around and saw Lin Yuan sitting on a stool looking at his phone, while Zhu Li's face was red with anger. He hurried over and smiled and said, "Where's Dad?"

Lin Yuan replied, "I went to the restaurant at the end of the alley to eat."

Su Mingcheng nodded, walked over to Zhu Li and said with a smile: "Do I borrow more or pay more?"

Zhu Li didn't expect Su Mingcheng to ask such a heartless question. She couldn't help but said coldly, "Why don't you just use a calculator to add and subtract?"

Su Mingcheng felt a little puzzled: "Why are you so angry? I was just asking."

Julie was already in a bad mood because she didn't sleep well last night, and she was also very upset because of the account book issue.

"How dare you say that? You've never paid it back."

Su Mingcheng looked helpless: "When I borrowed it, my mother didn't say she would pay it back. My father is really boring. What do you think he is going to do?"

"Su Mingcheng, you are so shameless." Zhu Li scolded mercilessly.

If it was just the two of them in private, Su Mingcheng might not have done anything, but in front of Lin Yuan, Su Mingcheng felt embarrassed and his tone became tough:
"How am I shameless? It was my mother who asked us to buy a house for our marriage, it was my mother who asked us to decorate the house, it was my mother who asked us to hold the wedding banquet, it was my mother who said that we don't have to pay back the money."

Julie looked at him speechlessly, picked up her bag and left.

"Why are you leaving? Why don't you take the bus back?"

Su Mingcheng wanted to chase after him, but when he saw Lin Yuan was still there, he felt a little embarrassed.

Lin Yuan raised his chin towards Zhu Li and said, "Second brother, aren't you going to chase him?"

Su Mingcheng said stubbornly: "Why are you chasing her? Hey, she spoiled me."

Seeing that everyone had left the Su family's old house, Lin Yuan and Su Mingcheng also walked out together.

Su Mingcheng went to the alley entrance to pick up Su Daqiang first, while Lin Yuan drove away first.

After a while, Lin Yuan saw Zhu Li walking on the road.

He rolled down the car window, and their eyes met. They understood each other, and Julie opened the door and got in without hesitation.

The car drove smoothly all the way and the two did not communicate. Julie did not sleep well last night, and after the argument just now, she soon fell asleep in the car.

After the car stopped at Shuanghu Community, it was a long time before Zhu Li woke up from her sleep.

Lin Yuan tidied up the loose hair on her temples very gently and did not take any other actions.

He didn't want Julie to think he was after her body, even though he was.

But the more he did this, the more Julie felt his gentleness and delicacy.

Zhu Li bit her lip and wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back in the end. In the end, she just said, "I'm going back."

After Zhu Li returned, she argued with Su Mingcheng for a long time about repaying the money.

Especially Su Mingcheng's words "Dad is going to America, why do you care so much?" made Zhu Li extremely disappointed.

Zhu Li was so angry that she asked Su Mingcheng to sleep on the sofa.

The two argued for a long time before they decided to pay Su Daqiang two thousand yuan each every 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 money paid back by his son and daughter-in-law every month.

He kept praising his daughter-in-law Julie for being sensible.

From then on, the two of them worked harder every day just to earn more overtime pay so that they could repay Su Daqiang.

……

a.

Su Daqiang's visa was finally approved, 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 a long way off.
