Chapter 23: Angry and shame

Wu Fei drove home. Su Mingzhe knew that she had lied for her own affairs today, so she began to please Wu Fei very attentively, gave her massage and said beautiful words. Wu Fei smiled and said, "Actually, I am very happy today. I think Mingyu is not only beautiful, but also intellectual and generous, and is very close to me."
Su Mingzhe shook his head and said, "Then you mean seeing this aspect of Mingyu. You will know when you will let you see the other side of Mingyu."
Wu Fei asked curiously: "On the other side? I think Mingyu is a reasonable person, not as you said. I really can't understand why she is making such a fuss with your family."
Su Mingzhe also sighed and said, "Why do you say this to you? I came to Chouguo very early. Even when I was a child, I was only busy studying at home. So I don't know what happened to Mingyu and my mother, Mingyu and my father, Mingyu and Mingcheng. But I know one thing. In our family, there is only my mother, but Mingyu."
When Wu Fei heard this, she felt even more curious.
Su Mingzhe continued: "I remember one year, about one year, Mingyu was in junior high school. When I went home on holiday, I saw my mother and Mingyu quarrel, and Mingcheng stood aside and scolded Mingyu, as if it was for reviewing the materials. I didn't know the details. I remember that my mother just came back from get off work and was so tired that she beat Mingyu. Mingyu bit my mother's hand. That night, Mingyu ran away from home and didn't come back for three days. My mother was anxious and could only call the police. Guess where did the police find it? On a very remote lakeside, Mingyu was really good. She didn't eat for three days and three nights. When the police found her, everyone couldn't walk anymore. It was the police who carried her back."
Wu Fei is not like Su Mingzhe. She thinks Mingyu is doing something wrong. She disappears for three days before she remembers to call the police. How much does this family ignore Mingyu's feelings?
"Mingyu is very pitiful!"
"She is pitiful, but what she did later was indeed extreme. That year, Mingyu was admitted to university. In order to save money, my mother asked Mingyu to go to our normal school. Mingyu felt that the school was not good, so she had another fight with my mother. She also vowed that she would not have to pay a penny from the Su family from now on, and she would not have entered the Su family's door. Ten years have passed, and she really did what she said! If it weren't for my mother's affairs, I would probably not have seen her. But now I think Mingyu did a good job. He could actually convince Mingcheng to take care of my father. I can't figure out what he used."
Wu Fei doesn't think so. She just feels sorry for Mingyu. It is really not easy for such a family that prefers boys to girls to reach this point, so Mingzhe must take good care of Mingyu in the future.
But Su Mingzhe didn't think Mingyu needed to take care of herself. After all, Mingyu now needs money and status in China, so she needs to take care of herself, an unemployed person.
Wu Fei felt that Su Mingzhe was a little confused. Mingzhe, as the eldest brother of the family, has enjoyed the family's resources since childhood, but Mingyu has always been a hard-working person. He always has to be kind to this sister when he grows up, right?
The next day, when Zhao Shucheng was working, Lin Junnan's parents called Zhao Shucheng and asked about his school situation.
Zhao Shucheng told her truthfully about the situation. He knew that although his child was in Class 7, his grades were still very good, so he stopped talking about anything.
In fact, Zhao Shucheng knew what they wanted to make this call, and also said that it was impossible to transfer classes now, so they didn’t have to worry. The teaching quality of Class 7 was not bad at all.
Lin Junnan's parents asked Zhao Shucheng to take care of the children more in the future, and hung up without saying anything else.
Su Daqiang was in a good mood and started his financial management journey with the help of Lao Nie. The yield rate of that project was very high. It is said that if the investment of 10,000 yuan would bring a profit of 200 yuan in the first transaction, and it would turn into a profit of 800 yuan in two months.
This made Su Daqiang very happy. He felt that he had finally found a good life, so he ran to the lottery store and swam around.
Su Mingyu also finished her work in San Francisco. Thinking of Zhao Shucheng's previous statement that she invited Su Mingzhe and Yi Jia to have dinner, she specially chose a great Chinese restaurant and ordered a lot of food from Wu Fei's hometown in the Magic City.
This arrangement naturally made Wu Fei very happy, and Mingzhe also felt very happy. Since he was unemployed, the family has not been so happy for a long time. The main reason is that after Su Mingzhe was unemployed, he basically stayed at home and was unwilling to come out at all, for fear of meeting acquaintances and looking at him with the eyes of the losers.
The family was having a warm and affectionate meal when suddenly a waiter came to serve the food. Everyone didn't pay attention to the waiter, but they didn't expect the waiter to see Su Mingzhe.
"Ye, sister-in-law, brother Mingzhe!"
Su Mingzhe looked at Cheng Dazhao wearing the waiter's clothes and asked, "Dazhao, what are you doing here?"
"Don't mention it. After Davina's grandson cut you off, he cut me off too. I don't think I can't find a suitable job, but now I'll make it a transition here. But to be honest, it doesn't matter if I stay in that kind of company, it's better to hold a plate!"
These words caught everyone off guard. Wu Fei and Su Mingzhe were a little embarrassed, and Su Mingyu also understood what Su Mingzhe had always wanted to hide.
Cheng Dazhao originally wanted to reminisce about the past with Su Mingzhe, but when he saw that Su Mingzhe looked bad, he said goodbye with tactfulness.
Su Mingyu looked at Su Mingzhe and asked, "Brother, why do you want to hide your unemployment? You should tell your father about it. If you don't hide it, Dad and Mingcheng would think you did it on purpose."
Wu Fei quickly said, "If your elder brother doesn't say it, it's because he is worried about his father's health. He is old and cannot accept such stimulation."
"Sister-in-law, you don't know. Just because my dad can't come to the Ugly Kingdom, he made Su Mingcheng a mess."
Seeing that Su Mingzhe had been drinking and not talking, Wu Fei said, "Okay, stop drinking, just drink too much!"
Su Mingzhe felt that he was really embarrassed, and said in anger, "Mingyu, did you do it on purpose? Haven't you never cared about the Su family's affairs? Then why did you come to the Chouguo to see me? Are you here to see me? You just came to see me for jokes, right? Okay, now you see that I am very cowardly and failed in Chouguo. Are you satisfied?"
Wu Fei said: "Mingzhe!"
"Don't worry about me!" As he said that, he took another sip of wine.
This scene stunned everyone who was originally happy, and Xiao Mi was frightened at Su Mingzhe, who looked ugly and cried loudly.
Su Mingzhe left with a dark face and hugged Xiao Mi, leaving only Wu Fei and Mingyu.
Wu Fei told Su Mingyu all the whole story. Only then did Su Mingyu realize that Su Mingzhe and his wife looked like elites abroad, but their current lives were very difficult.
Due to the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, the economy of the Ugly Country has always been unsatisfactory. Although Su Mingzhe is a top student from a prestigious university, as an information technology worker, it is not that easy to find an ideal job. After all, the Ugly Country is not like the Ugly Country. Due to the booming development of the Internet industry and the emergence of many new and creative Internet companies, it still attaches great importance to talents, while the Ugly Country is different.
Besides, the green card they were reluctant to spend their own youth, sweat, tears, and high taxes were all here. And because all relatives and friends knew that they were top students studying abroad, they would not choose to return to China even if they swiped the plates here, for fear that others would say that they could not make it in an ugly country before they came back.
They are also worried that their relatives and friends will know their situation, so they can only slap their faces and make outsiders think that their lives are not bad.
After Su Mingyu returned to the hotel, she told Zhao Shucheng about Su Mingzhe's unemployment and said, "Shucheng, I think I should help my elder brother so that they can get rid of the predicament as soon as possible."
Zhao Shucheng asked curiously: "Then how do you want to help him?"
"I know some software companies bosses, wondering if they can relax the standards a little when the elder brother submits his resume so that he can stop staying at home."
Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "I don't recommend you do this. This is equivalent to your mother buying a job for your second brother. However, this is a way to encourage growth. Instead, he will not make him think about his own path seriously. Instead, he will feel that all this is his own ability and will make him unable to see himself clearly."
"You can help him solve his work now, but most of the people you know are in China, so your elder brother must often return to China, but can you help him solve all the problems? If your father knows that his son returns to China, he will definitely feel that he has a new reliance, and he may not be able to make a monster at that time."
Su Mingyu said disbelief: "Isn't it possible? Brother, what else can happen if he finds a job?"
"How is it impossible? Zhu Li sent me a message saying that she gave your father 12,000 yuan, but he didn't deposit the money in the bank at all, and he didn't ask them how to spend it. I still don't know when the eldest son was still thinking about his retirement. Your elder brother is so face-saving person, he will definitely show off to your father after returning to China. He will not talk about his previous unemployment, but will say that his ability has been recognized and he will change jobs. What will happen at that time? Have you ever thought about it? Will your father feel that he lives in Su Mingcheng's family now and is under someone else's roof, so he forces your elder brother to buy him a new house. Do you think your elder brother can pay the money at that time?"
