However, the anger was anger. As an outsider, he had no position to accuse Su Mingcheng.
Doing that will only intensify conflicts and fail to solve the actual problem.
So he just frowned, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and did not say anything to attack Su Mingcheng.
However, after bragging about his salary, Su Mingcheng changed his tone and said calmly: "Mom, can you...can you give me two thousand yuan first?"
Hearing this, Su Daqiang, who has always been very sensitive to money, couldn't help but said "ouch": "If you ask for money, the amount is not small."
Su Mingcheng may also feel a little embarrassed, and quickly explained the reason why he asked for money: "No, dad, don't get me wrong, I definitely don't want it this time, I just want to borrow it. The main reason is that I will start work soon, and I want to
I will go on a trip with my classmates before graduation, and when I get my salary after I go to work, I will pay it back to you and my mother right away!"
"It depends on what you kid says, whether you want to borrow it or not." Zhao Meilan has always been very protective of her second son, and she always responds to every request. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Graduation is about to happen, it's time to go out and have some fun, otherwise
I won’t have the time when I get to work in the future. Mom has sponsored you this time, so you don’t have to pay it back.”
"Really?" When Su Mingcheng heard that he didn't want to pay back the money, he was extremely surprised and said quickly: "Thank you, Mom!"
Seeing that her mother agreed to give Su Mingcheng money, Su Mingyu, who was worried about how to ask for the registration fee, quickly said: "Mom, I also want a thousand yuan!"
"What do you want so much money for?"
Zhao Meilan glanced at her in surprise.
"Our school has organized an intensive class to allow top students like us to intensively review, but we have to pay a registration fee of 1,000 yuan." Su Mingyu said truthfully.
"What kind of class is so expensive?"
Zhao Meilan frowned.
"Dad, Mom, the results of our Model 3 exam have come out. I am in the top ten of my grade. With my results, I want to sprint to Shuimu University!"
Su Mingyu tried to convince her parents with her grades.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Su Daqiang held it in his mouth and shouted loudly: "This is a good thing, here, here!"
Just hearing that Su Mingyu's target turned out to be Shuimu, where his eldest brother was studying, Su Mingcheng, as a poor student, couldn't help but feel sour: "Hey, Su Mingyu, don't you want to go abroad like the eldest brother?"
"You want to imitate the boss, but you don't have the ability yet." Su Mingyu rolled her eyes at him angrily.
When he asked for money for a trip, my mother agreed without even thinking about it. She wanted to sign up for a review class and had to talk for a long time, which made her feel uncomfortable.
However, Su Mingcheng could not bear such ridicule. His face immediately turned red and he shouted: "Su Mingyu, what are you talking about!"
"Okay, okay." Upon seeing this, Zhao Meilan stopped the two brothers and sisters from arguing again, and then glanced at Su Mingyu: "By the way, I happen to have something to tell you."
As she said that, she paused: "Mom has gone a lot for you these days, begged a lot of people, and finally secured a spot for you to be a free normal school student without having to pay. After you graduate,
Just be a teacher locally, the job is stable and it’s close to home.”
After hearing what she said, Lin Li on the side was completely dumbfounded.
What kind of mother is this? Her daughter can take the Mizuki examination but does not support it, and she actually wants to be a free normal school student?
It’s so chilling!
Even he couldn't bear to listen. Su Mingyu was naturally extremely angry and put the dishes and chopsticks on the table angrily: "Mom, I don't want to go to normal school, I want to take the water and wood exam!"
"How can our family have so much money?"
Zhao Meilan didn't care about the presence of an outsider like Lin Li, and gave Su Mingyu a hard look on the spot.
In order to support the education of their three children, she and Su Daqiang have been living a frugal life. Especially this time when their eldest son went abroad, she had to sell a house and scrape together just enough.
The cost of his study abroad has long stretched the family's finances.
When Zhao Meilan opened her mouth, Su Daqiang, who had originally agreed to give his daughter money, did not dare to speak. After quickly picking up the food in his bowl, he got up and left.
Seeing that her father was about to hide aside again, Su Mingyu hurriedly said: "Dad, don't leave!"
"I, I won't leave. I'm done eating. I'll sit aside for a while. You guys eat, you guys eat..."
Su Daqiang pretended to be nonchalant and walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up a newspaper and read it, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
"Dad!" Seeing that Su Daqiang didn't care about her at all, Su Mingyu became even more anxious.
However, she also knew that this cowardly father had no hope at all, so she had to argue with her mother: "No, Mom, why did you do this kind of thing without telling me? My second brother didn't even pass you in the college entrance examination.
I'm willing to spend money to buy a second copy for him to read, but now I..."
But before she could finish her sentence, she was exposed and interrupted by a furious Su Mingcheng: "Su Mingyu, you have gone too far. What are you talking nonsense here? Are you sick?"
"Su Mingcheng, what nonsense am I talking about!" Su Mingyu was so angry that she almost cried: "Who doesn't know that your current job was obtained by your family through money and connections? Your eldest brother is studying abroad. Mom, you would rather sell your house.
To support, why can’t I go to a good university even if I want to?”
Looking at her second brother who glared at her and her extremely partial mother, she felt extremely aggrieved.
"Su Mingyu, who are you showing off here to show off, do you mean to let Xiao Shi see the joke?"
Seeing her yelling at the dinner table, Zhao Meilan felt very embarrassed on her face, and immediately scolded her in a deep voice: "You said you are a girl, what's the use of going to such a good school? Okay, stop saying that.
That’s it, let’s eat!”
After hearing this, Lin Li finally couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but speak for Su Mingyu.
"Aunt Zhao, this is your family's business. As an outsider, I shouldn't say anything. But don't you think this is too unfair to your daughter? As far as I know, taking the Shuimu test is her biggest wish.
And she has worked hard for it for many years, you shouldn't just take away her dream."
Hearing this, Zhao Meilan's face was very ugly, and she said in great embarrassment: "Xiao Shi, you have been living here for a while. I believe you should have seen what the situation is like in aunt's house. I am not afraid of making fun of you if I tell you.
Her eldest brother went to the United States to study for graduate school, and our Su family can be said to be throwing away the pot, so how can we spare the extra money to send her to study at Shuimu?"
Hearing what she said, Lin Li didn't know what to say for a moment.
Of course he knew that Zhao Meilan was telling the truth. After all, this was a very real issue.
Putting aside the reason for favoring boys over girls, more importantly, the Su family really cannot afford more money for Su Mingyu to study at Shuimu University.
