After hearing that Su Daqiang said that he didn't want to go back to his old house, Su Mingzhe didn't know how to arrange for his father. He thought about it and said, "Dad, where do you want to live? How about you live here in Mingcheng first?"
This was certainly not the result Su Daqiang wanted. He didn't even raise his head and said dejectedly: "When your mother was here, she always came over to help clean the house. When she was tired, she liked to sit on the rocking chair where Mingyu is sitting now.
When I saw that rocking chair, I felt like I saw your mother. I was so scared. I didn’t dare to live in Mingcheng’s house..."
Hearing his words, Lin Li, who was not far away, couldn't help but feel his heart tremble, thinking that the old man wouldn't start now, would he?
Although it has been ten years since he came to this world, many of the plots in the play have long been blurred in his mind, but Su Daqiang's characteristic of being a master of nature is quite deep in his memory.
But he never thought that Zhao Meilan had just passed away. Could it be that Su Daqiang was about to start acting like a monster?
Lin Li moved his brows slightly, and suggested symbolically: "Uncle Su, how about you live with me and Mingyu? We just settled in Gusu after returning to China this year, and we haven't had time to invite you and Aunt Zhao to come over.
There is no trace of her there."
"No, no!" Hearing this, Su Daqiang hurriedly shook his head.
He has always been very afraid of Su Mingyu, his daughter, just like he was afraid of his wife in the past. When he thought of living with her, he felt guilty and panicked for no reason. He couldn't help but shrink back, not even daring to look at Su Mingyu, and even shook his head.
He tightened his hold on his eldest son Su Mingzhe, as if he was looking for something to rely on.
Seeing him like this, Su Mingyu narrowed her eyes: "Dad, you don't dare to live in this old house, and Su Mingcheng's family doesn't dare to live in it either. Shi Tiandong and I don't want to go, so where do you want to live?"
"How do I know where I'm going?" Su Daqiang didn't dare to look at his daughter, so he had to continue to put pressure on his eldest son: "Mingzhe, why don't you send me to a nursing home."
"Dad, please don't say that. How could I send you to that place?"
Su Mingzhe felt sad, thinking that his father had children, and they all seemed to be living a good life. How could there be any reason for him to live in a nursing home? He hurriedly said: "You have three children. Apart from the nursing home, what do you want the most?"
Just tell me who's house you want to live in, and I'll make arrangements!"
By the window, seeing Su Daqiang's poor acting skills, Lin Li chuckled, and then whispered in Su Mingyu's ear: "I think your dad wants to leave with your eldest brother."
Su Mingyu, who was watching clearly, also reacted. She knew that her father must want to go to her eldest brother's home in the United States. She couldn't help but said angrily: "Brother, isn't this obvious enough? He really wants to go to the United States with you."
After Su Mingzhe was stunned for a moment, he immediately reacted and thought to himself: "Yes, Dad doesn't want to live with Mingcheng's house or with Mingyu, doesn't he just want to go with me?"
However, he suddenly thought that when his wife Wu Fei gave birth to a child a few years ago, she wanted to ask her retired parents to help take care of her. But at that time, her mother said that her father had ear fluid imbalance and could not take a long-distance flight, so he asked doubtfully
: "Dad, you forgot that you have an ear problem and you can't fly."
"What's wrong with my ears?"
Speaking of this, Su Daqiang immediately told the story about Zhao Meilan's refusal to go to the United States to serve his daughter-in-law during the confinement period, and said anxiously: "It was all your mother who blamed me for the ear problem.
Yes, you can’t blame me.”
Although Su Mingzhe felt bad after hearing this, his mother had passed away, so there was no point in talking about it.
And ever since he learned about his mother's death, he, a "filial son", has always felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart, and he wanted to shoulder his responsibilities as a son and eldest brother.
Considering that this was the old father's wish, he didn't care that his situation abroad was actually not that good, so he had no choice but to agree to Su Daqiang's request with difficulty: "Okay, Dad, I promise you, let's go to the United States!"
As soon as Su Daqiang heard that he could go to the United States, he immediately stood up from the sofa and felt better instantly.
"Well, Mingyu, you and Xiaoshi have a car. You can take me back to my old house. I'll get a change of clothes." He looked at Su Mingyu and said.
"Dad, let me go with you."
Su Mingzhe was a little uneasy about his father going out like this.
But when Su Daqiang heard that Su Mingzhe wanted to accompany him, he quickly waved his hand: "No, Mingzhe, you've been tired for the whole day. Just rest. Mingyu and Xiaoshi will be with me!"
Seeing his performance, Su Mingyu and Lin Li looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.
However, the two of them didn't say anything, so they got up and went out with him.
When they went downstairs, they happened to see Su Mingcheng driving back. Seeing that they were about to go out, he immediately rolled down the window and asked, "Dad, where are you going?"
"I'm going back to my old house." Su Daqiang glanced at his second son, said nothing, and walked to Lin Li's car.
"I'll see you off, get in my car." Su Mingcheng said hurriedly.
Su Mingyu also felt sorry for Lin Li who had been running around all day, and didn't want him to have to make another hard trip, so she said: "Dad, please let him take you there."
However, Su Daqiang hesitated for a moment, his eyes swept between his and Lin Li's cars, and finally walked to the silver Panamera without saying a word.
Su Mingcheng's face suddenly darkened. He could see that his father thought his car was not as good as others.
But he also knew that the price of that Panamera, even with the lowest configuration, cost more than one million, which was far from comparable to his second-hand Wrangler.
Su Mingyu naturally noticed this and couldn't help but look at Lin Li helplessly.
Lin Li actually smiled, opened the door and got into the driver's seat.
The car soon arrived at the Su family's old house in Tongdli. Since the alley was very narrow, Lin Li had to park the car outside, and then the three of them walked in.
Stepping into this familiar alley, the buildings inside remained unchanged, but those memories of her childhood and the unfair treatment she suffered suddenly came back to Su Mingyu's mind.
She originally thought that she had forgotten that memory, or didn't care about it, but now the emergence of those memories seemed to remind her that she had never really forgotten it.
It was different from the feeling of going home in the past years. Perhaps it was because of the death of her mother. When she returned to the old house this time, she suddenly became emotionally unstable. Every time she took a step forward, she would think of some things from her childhood, and even many things.
Details that had long been forgotten were gradually recalled clearly.
Lin Li noticed the change in her expression and guessed that she probably remembered something bad, so he held her hand to give her a silent support.
Feeling the warmth in his palm, and thinking that he had been by her side for so many years, Su Mingyu suddenly revealed a gentle smile on her lips, and also held Lin Li's hand tightly.
