Chapter 18: Calculating the accounts (Part 2)!
After looking at the account book, Su Mingyu handed her own copy to Zhu Li and said, "Second sister-in-law, look at mine first. This is all my expenses in the Su family over the past ten years. You can count the total amount." Then he threw a copy to Su Mingcheng and said, "Look at my brother, you can count it too!"
Then I looked at Su Mingcheng. At the beginning, it was a small amount, but when I looked around, the amount became larger and larger, so I understood why my parents’ pension was so small.
When Su Mingcheng saw the records on Su Mingzhe’s account book, every transaction was calculated very clearly. Even buying a pencil and an eraser were recorded on it.
When he saw Su Mingzhe’s record of buying candied haws, Su Mingcheng asked curiously: “You remember this brother, you can buy a bunch of candied haws? Isn’t that what the whole family eats together?”
"Your mom and I didn't eat it!"
When Su Mingcheng heard Su Daqiang say this, Su Mingcheng shook his head speechlessly, and Zhao Shucheng laughed directly.
Su Mingyu gave Zhao Shucheng a blank look and signaled him to look at the account book as well to see if there was something wrong.
Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "Okay, don't look at it. Let Zhu Li do a comprehensive statistics on the approximate amount. Let's talk about the issue of pension."
In fact, Su Mingyu's account book is easy to calculate, because there are too few places to spend money. In addition to the family planning fines at birth, there are tuition and fees for going to school, etc., and the cost of a pair of shoes, basically no other pocket money.
Zhu Li was shocked when she saw this account book. She didn't expect that Su Mingyu lived like this in the Su family. Compared with her, she should not be too happy when she was a child. Even if she had never calculated how much money her parents spent, a simple comparison would show that it was at least several times that of Su Mingyu.
Su Mingyu wanted to say something about Su Mingcheng, but was hit by Zhao Shucheng in the arm and said, "Okay, let him see it yourself after you finish reading it!"
When Su Mingcheng saw such a thick account book, he said in disbelief: "Dad, have you remembered it wrong?"
"Dad remembered correctly, every stroke is clear, there are also date, time, place and reasons, and numbers."
Su Mingcheng pointed at Su Mingyu and said, "Did I ask you? Dad, did you remember this account wrong?"
Su Daqiang shook his head and said, "I remember correctly! I remember that the account book won the first prize in our school's work-study and family-study activities."
Su Mingyu said: "Su Mingcheng, you still have the face to yell with your dad, you can see how much hard-earned money you have spent on your parents!"
Su Mingcheng said: "This is a matter between me and my parents. I have no relationship with you, okay?"
When Zhao Shucheng saw something Su Mingyu wanted to say, he pulled Su Mingyu and said, "Your second brother is right. Although this records every expense, some are gifts and some are loans. It still needs to be clearly distinguished."
"But……"
Zhao Shucheng said, "It's nothing, but when everything is calculated, let's talk about it. Besides, you are willing to fight and be beaten by the other one. You have no position to blame him because all of this is given by your mother. Although your second brother spends a lot of money, he is also filial. I just looked at the records of their money after this, but there is no record of Su Mingcheng giving them money. This is not appropriate again, right?"
As he said that, Zhao Shucheng picked up Su Mingyu's account book and looked at it, and found that it was indeed the case.
In fact, when Zhao Shucheng and Su Mingyu were together, because Su's mother and Su Mingyu had a quarrel. When Su Mingzhe got married and had children, Zhao Meilan had thought of letting Su Mingyu come forward, but Su Mingyu didn't want to see her at all.
Zhao Meilan couldn't find Zhao Shucheng. At that time, Zhao Shucheng gave Zhao Meilan a sum of money for this, but there was no record of anything on it, let alone after Su Mingyu and his mother held the letter, Zhao Shucheng even gave 100,000 yuan to buy out the family ties fee, and there was no record of it on it.
When Su Mingyu heard Zhao Shucheng say this, he saw Zhao Shucheng look through the end of his record and asked, "Did you hide something from me?"
"It's not considered hiding it from you. When your elder brother's child was born, your mother was unwilling to pay attention to you and came to find me. I knew you had a bad relationship, so I gave it a little gift and said you gave it, but there is no record on it!"
Su Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Of course there is no need to record this, after all, it is for the eldest brother!"
"It's not just that. After you had a complete quarrel with your parents, I took the initiative to give a sum of money to buy out your family relationship. The total amount of money was 100,000, and there was no record on it!"
After hearing this, Su Mingyu looked at Su Daqiang and asked, "Dad, is this true?"
Su Daqiang said with a dodge in his eyes: "I don't know! Don't force me!"
After hearing this, Su Mingcheng looked at Zhao Shucheng, then looked at Su Daqiang, and asked, "Dad, this 100,000 yuan is not a small amount of money. Don't tell me, you are using this money to buy a house for me?"
Su Daqiang said: "That's not the case. Your mother lent this money to your uncle. At that time, they also wanted to buy a house, so they used it first."
Su Mingcheng said angrily and smiled, "No, Dad, so my uncle also has an account book. Can you take it out and let's take a look?"
"That has nothing to do with you. Now I am talking about my retirement affairs!"
Su Mingcheng said, "Okay, Dad, it doesn't matter if you keep the accounts, but if you take it out, what do you mean? What do you mean?"
Zhu Li couldn't listen and said, "Su Mingcheng, shut up, and stay in the house before I settle the bill!"
After hearing this, Su Daqiang stood up without saying a word and made way for Su Mingcheng to leave the passage.
Su Mingcheng walked behind Su Daqiang, looked at Zhu Li and Su Mingyu, and could only click Su Daqiang with his hands, then entered the inner room, sat on the bed, thinking about what he said to his parents to borrow money when his mother was there.
The more Zhu Li looked at her, the more she felt that Mingyu was not easy, because she really didn't spend much money at home, and Su Mingcheng spent too much money. It was said that Su Mingcheng had no problem with relying on her parents.
Of course, he is not just a dependent on his parents. At least he has a job and earns a salary, but he doesn't just lie down at home. However, after seeing that he and Su Mingcheng were together, she felt ashamed that she had spent so much money at home over the years.
"I have finished reading the account book. I really didn't expect that Mingcheng and I have spent so much money at home over the years. I feel very ashamed."
Su Mingyu said, "Second sister-in-law, it's not that anyone can't get along with anyone else. It's just that everyone has a clear idea in their hearts and will not complain in the future. Then I continued to say that when I said the first choice, my dad disagreed. When I said the second choice, should I call Su Mingcheng out too and let's talk about it together?"
"Don't call him!" Zhu Li didn't want to listen anymore. Their family spent so much money at home, so they should take care of Su Daqiang as expected. "No need to say the second and third articles. Since the account has been settled today, Mingyu, you really have no obligation to care about your father. From now on, my father's life will be taken care of by Mingcheng."
After hearing this, Su Daqiang turned around and looked at Zhu Li and asked, "Lili, are you saying true?"
"Really, Dad! Since Mingcheng has spent so much money at home, we cannot ignore you. Don't worry, I will calculate the money clearly after I go back, and I will give you a lot of money. Since that's the case, today's family meeting will end here!"
Hearing Zhu Li say this, Su Mingyu nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave first, you guys should rest early!"
As he said that, he was about to leave, but when he saw that Zhao Shucheng did not take action, he couldn't help but ask, "Let's go!"
Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "Mingyu, it's wrong for you to do this."
"Why is it wrong?"
Zhao Shucheng looked at Zhu Li and said, "It's better to call your second brother out. It's better to make this clear!"
"What else do you say? Isn't it enough to just calculate the accounts clearly?"
Zhu Li and Su Mingyu both looked at Zhao Shucheng curiously, and Su Daqiang didn't understand what Zhao Shucheng wanted to do.
Su Mingcheng heard the voices outside inside and rushed out and asked, "What else do you want to say?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, see if what I said makes sense."
Seeing everyone quiet down, Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Ju Li just said that you would exchange all the money your second brother spent over the years, and then there is another problem here."
"What's the problem? What's the problem?" Su Mingzhe said dissatisfied.
"Of course there is a problem. You have paid back all the money, and Mingyu has also paid back all the money to the family. Then you two don't owe anything to the family. This should be correct, right?"
"That's right!" Su Mingcheng thought for a moment and nodded.
Su Mingyu didn't expect Zhao Shucheng to say this, but Zhao Shucheng was right, but Zhu Li felt something was wrong, but the specific place was not right.
"Okay, since you have all paid back the money, then you should be responsible and obligations when it comes to supporting your father's elderly care. But just now, Zhu Li said that they will be responsible for the elderly care matters in the future, which is a bit of a bully? People have to pay back the money and have to bear the elderly care issue. This is somewhat unfair, right?"
Su Mingyu didn't expect Zhao Shucheng to say this. His body, which was originally about to stand up and leave, stopped and retorted: "But isn't it okay for them to take care of their parents with their money over the years?"
"It's wrong for you to say that. If the money is not paid back, it is natural for them to support their elderly care. But if the money is paid back, how can they support their elderly care is worth talking about."
Su Daqiang was stunned for a moment. He was thinking that after Su Mingcheng could pay back the money, he could have a happy life. Why did it sound like he couldn't repay the money?
"No, I..."
"You all listened to me, see if my statement is right. If your second brother doesn't pay back the money, it is natural for them to support the elderly. But if you pay back the money, then you brother and sister have the obligation to support the elderly. After all, if you really settle the score, your father will live in Mingcheng's family in the future and eat, drink, defecation and urinate every day. Should you also ask your father to pay the fee? If you don't, why ask your second brother and others to pay back the money? If you use it, you will face some problems."
