Zhu Li felt guilty at first, thinking that since her family spent so much money on her parents, it was natural to pay back the money and support her elderly care. However, Zhao Shucheng said this, and it seemed right. "What should I do? I didn't think about asking Mingcheng to pay back the money! Mingcheng, Lili, believe me, it has nothing to do with me!"
When Su Mingyu heard Su Daqiang say this, she rolled her eyes. Why did she sound all her fault for seeking justice for Su Daqiang?
"Shucheng, what do you mean?"
"The meaning is very simple. Either you don't pay back the money, let Su Mingcheng and his wife support your father in the old age. In the future, we can buy some things and give some gifts to the old man in the future. Or they pay back the money, then they have no obligation to support the elderly. Your father lives in an old house or go to a nursing home and pays for the expenses themselves. Like us, they can come to see your father and buy some gifts if they have time. Of course, there is a third option. Your father still lives in their house and they also pay back the money, but how much money they spend in addition to eating, drinking, defecation and urination every month is deducted from the money they need to pay back, and the deduction is over. At that time, you three siblings will discuss the issue of retirement in the future. Should they take care of each person for a period of time, or will Su Mingcheng and his wife continue to take care of them in the future? You give them some money as hard work or alimony."
Su Mingcheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. This idea is good. Since Su Daqiang wants to settle the score with him, if you are unkind and I am unrighteous, it is best to calculate it clearly.
"Dad, tell me, how do you choose?"
Su Daqiang was stupid. He had a bad idea. Although the problem seemed to be solved, he was not willing to choose to send him to a nursing home or in an old house. He had three children and had to live in a nursing home or had no one to take care of him. How did his old friends think of him?
But Su Mingcheng didn't pay back any money. Although he was given a pension to him for the end of his life, Su Daqiang knew how much money this was, how many delicious and fun he could buy, and even how many lottery tickets he could buy?
The third choice also made him dissatisfied. Although he seemed to be able to get the money, he felt a little distressed when he saw that the money that belonged to him had disappeared like this.
Seeing Su Daqiang not saying a word, Zhao Shucheng said: "The first choice seems to be unwilling, so it can only be the second or third choice."
Zhu Li said: "Unfortunately, we can't let our father go to the nursing home by ourselves. So no matter how others think of me, I must think I'm unfilial, and I don't agree with this."
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Okay, then there is only the third choice, and let's decide this way."
Although Su Daqiang was unwilling to accept it, he asked him to talk about the issue of retirement. He had no opinion on himself and didn't know what to do. He could only choose the default.
Although Su Mingcheng thought this method was good, he felt that it was cheaper Mingyu couldn't help but ask, "What about you? Do you have no responsibility or obligation?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Of course we won't ignore it, but during this time in your family, we will only go and check it out from time to time and buy some gifts. As for alimony, Mingyu has paid off all his money and he doesn't owe any money."
Su Daqiang said with a grunt, "Why did you pay it off?"
"Don't believe it. The 100,000 yuan I gave is the buyout fee. Of course, you have to say that this is Mingyu's dowry. Since we are here to settle the accounts today, everything must be calculated clearly."
Zhao Shucheng looked at Mingyu and said, "You have photos on the bills in the funeral home?"
Mingyu nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Okay, let's take it out and spread it out. The cemetery cost a total of 400,000 yuan, which was spent by Mingyu himself, and it was bought for her mother. This is also considered to be the money for the family. A while ago, I sold a lot of clothes to my father, which was tens of thousands of yuan in total, and Mingyu didn't spend tens of thousands of yuan in his family. Even if it was ten times more, it would be enough. Isn't it a problem?"
Su Mingcheng wanted to say there was something wrong, but he couldn't think of a suitable reason. Su Daqiang knew that it was wrong, but he couldn't refute it.
Julie nodded and said, "Needless to say, what you owe to your family has already been clear about."
"Okay, there is another problem. Mingcheng graduated so much money. I believe it is not just about taking money from home. He has invited his parents to dinner or buy things before, right? But he has no habit of keeping accounts, and there is no such book. We will calculate the money a little less, and it is okay to have 20,000 yuan?"
Su Mingcheng said in front of Su Daqiang: "No problem!"
"That's good. So we didn't count the money spent by dad during your family before. It's okay to have 10,000 yuan?"
After hearing this, Su Mingcheng directly retorted: "It's more than 10,000 yuan. It costs more than 4,000 yuan to buy clothes alone, and he also goes to a hotel to hold a banquet. This is several thousand yuan, let alone the money for his father to be hospitalized and eat."
Su Daqiang knew that he could not continue to remain silent. If this continues, would his money be less and less? It would be good if he could get tens of thousands of yuan at that time.
"That's not what I want. If you don't cook for me, you can order takeaway. How expensive is this? If you cook your own food, you will definitely not be able to spend so much."
When Su Mingcheng heard this, he looked at his father angrily. He originally thought that taking care of his father was the right choice, but now that he has settled the accounts, the only family affection has been destroyed.
"Okay, the ones I had before were considered as what Mingcheng and his family should do to take care of you. We don't count the money, and Mingyu and I won't pursue the money I gave to the family before. Since the old man said he doesn't like taking out food, you both go to work, so it's impossible for him to come back to cook on time for three meals a day. It takes a long time to solve the problem of the old man's meal."
Zhu Li looked at Zhao Shucheng and asked, "What do you have any opinions?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "The Su family is three children, and I think it is appropriate to bear the problem of the elderly eating. But one who is far away from abroad and needs to go to work, so he can only give the elderly a sum of money and let him eat outside by himself. According to the local consumption level, a person with 50 yuan a day should meet the conditions for basic food and drink. Is it okay?"
"No problem, no problem!"
When Su Daqiang heard that he could have 50 yuan in meals a day, he agreed immediately before Su Mingcheng, Zhu Li and Su Mingyu opposed it.
"This money is only about 1,550 yuan a month, and three people each bear 500 yuan. But we can't give money every day, so on the first day of each month, we will directly transfer the money to Zhu Li. Zhu Li gives her father fifty yuan a day, right? As for the elder brother, let Ming Cheng and his wife plaster the money first. If the elder brother gives money later, it would be fine. If he doesn't give it, the money will be automatically deducted from the one who has to pay back the money. Is that okay?"
Su Daqiang was a little unhappy, but he thought that it was only 500 yuan a month, which was not a big money, so he agreed.
"As for the issue of paying back the money, because you also need to live, and it seems that you still have a mortgage to pay it back?"
Zhu Li looked at Su Mingcheng and said, "Yes, our house is almost paid off now, so don't consider this."
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Okay, then the pressure will be much less. You owe your family about 200,000 yuan?"
Seeing that Zhu Li was about to nod, Su Mingcheng quickly said, "Wait, no, we will pay for the money we bought a house and a car, my mother said we don't need to pay it back!"
Zhu Li gave Su Mingcheng a blank look after hearing this and said, "The money has to be paid back!"
Su Mingcheng wanted to say something, but when he saw that Zhu Li looked bad, he swallowed it back.
"Okay, even if you are 198,000 yuan, you will pay back 4,000 yuan a month, and it will be 48,000 yuan a year. You can pay it back in almost four years. Both of you have jobs, and each squeezes out 2,000 yuan from your salary and returns it to your father. It should be fine, right?"
Su Mingcheng was still a little hesitant, but Zhu Li calculated the daily expenses and had to grit her teeth a little, so she agreed.
Su Daqiang felt that it had been too long, but if he really forced Su Mingcheng to pay back the money in a short period of time, he knew it was impossible, so he hesitated and said nothing.
Just when everyone thought the matter was resolved, Zhao Shucheng said: "As for the accounts of the elder brother and his family, when the elder brother comes back, you can settle with him yourself! Now the problem has been solved. We will give the alimony for this month first, and we will leave first if there is nothing to do!"
Su Mingyu looked at Su Daqiang and Su Mingcheng, shook his head and stood up and followed Zhao Shucheng out.
Su Mingcheng looked at Su Daqiang and said, "Dad, you are really good!"
Zhu Li said angrily: "Su Mingcheng, you're enough! Dad, let's go home!"
Su Daqiang walked out without saying a word and waited next to Su Mingcheng's car at the intersection of the alley.
When Su Mingyu was in the car, she said, "Shucheng, what are you thinking? Can you tell me?"
"There is nothing to say. Your father has been thinking about the money. If he doesn't pay it back, she will not sleep well. To be honest, it is not a good idea to settle the score like this. The money is calculated clearly, but it is also hurting the relationship. You have to distinguish between big money, but your father remembers the trivial money very clearly, and even made Su Mingcheng pay it back. Do you think Su Mingcheng feels good?"
"As parents, they have to raise their children and have the responsibility to support and educate their children. In fact, they are voluntarily given the money. If they don't settle the accounts, they will take care of their parents with care. We should not take parents' care and contributions for granted, but parents cannot regard their efforts as investments that require profits. Love is mutual. Parents give selfless love. We should also give care to parents for retirement and delivery. But when your father was petty, did you ever think that such a thing would hurt children more emotionally than letting them pay? You have not had a good relationship with your parents, so you didn't feel much deeper. But Su Mingcheng has enjoyed the love of his parents since he was a child, but when he saw the account book, the impact he suffered in his heart was no less than you, or even more serious."
"Actually, the accounts between parents and children are not clear at all. They cannot be calculated by cold numbers. Today, they are all calculated on money, but how can they calculate the accounts in love clearly? Your parents give your second brother the favor, and your second brother makes your parents happy. Is this clear? If there is only economic relationship between a family, wouldn't life be too sad? In fact, the money your parents give your second brother is voluntary, and we shouldn't interfere. Children should not settle the economic accounts with their parents, but they have to settle the relationship, and the same is true for parents. The reason I do this is to calm down both parties. After a while, if your father doesn't ask for money from your second brother and others, their relationship will be repaired, but if you don't ask for money..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Shucheng shook his head. Su Daqiang is just a cum now and will not consider the feelings of his children. At that time, although Su Mingcheng still has a father in his heart, he will sooner or later become unhappy because of this, and even affects his relationship with Zhu Li.
