Su Mingzhe also agreed with his wife's point of view.
Not to mention that Mingyu was his biological sister, and in the past two or three years, she and Xiaoshi almost never came to their home empty-handed.
Not to mention that the two of them have always been very good to their daughter, often buying her things and taking her out to play. As an older brother, he will definitely show his kindness when the time comes.
After talking about Su Mingyu and Shi Tiandong, Wu Fei asked again: "What about Mingcheng and the others?"
"Mingcheng and Zhu Li's incomes are pretty good, and they should be considered upper-middle class."
Su Mingzhe replied: "Mingcheng is still like that, playful and lazy, but Zhu Li works very hard. By the way, she is now a certified public accountant."
"The second daughter-in-law is so capable!" Wu Fei exclaimed.
Although she doesn't know much about that industry, she also knows that the CPA exam is a very difficult one in China. Not only are there many subjects and difficult, but the time span is also long, and the passing rate is extremely low. It is a very scarce talent, and it is also in the financial field.
The most valuable certificate.
"It's not bad. I heard from Mingcheng that Zhu Li's income is higher than him." Su Mingzhe smiled and said: "But even though they earn more, these two people also have quite a lot of expenses. They need to wear clothes."
They are all famous brands.”
Wu Fei also smiled, but didn't pay much attention to it. In her opinion, it was all other people's business.
Then, she asked the question she was most concerned about: "How is dad now? Is he still holding up?"
Hearing this, Su Mingzhe's eyes flickered a little, and his voice suddenly became a little lower: "My father, he is in good health. He has not been affected in this regard. He eats well and sleeps well, but he is a little timid.
I always say that I see my mother here and there, and I dare not live alone in the old house."
Wu Fei did not notice the change in her husband's tone. As she drove, she said: "Actually, dad is not very old. He has a house and a fixed pension. It is quite free to live alone. Besides, he and Zhu Li
Both of them are so busy, and Mingyu and Xiaoshi have just returned to China and have just started to develop their careers, so they may not be able to take care of them."
She thought for a while and glanced at her husband: "Otherwise, let's find a nanny for dad, and we will pay for the nanny."
"That's not what I meant. But firstly, my father didn't dare to go back and live there. He kept shouting that he was afraid. Secondly, when I went to study abroad and Mingcheng got married and bought a house, the family house was sold and only one bedroom and one living room were left. The nanny
There’s no place to stay even if we go there.”
After hearing this, Su Mingzhe sighed first, and then said cautiously: "Fei Fei, actually my dad has always wanted to come to the United States. What do you think about me taking him over to live with us?"
Wu Fei was stunned for a moment: "Don't your dad have an imbalance of ear fluids and can't take long-distance flights?"
"He doesn't have that problem."
In desperation, Su Mingzhe had no choice but to confess, telling her that her mother did not want to come to the United States to serve her during confinement.
When Wu Fei heard this, he was instantly angry.
She didn't expect that her mother would actually say this.
When she gave birth to her daughter, her mother-in-law Zhao Meilan said that her father-in-law had this problem and could not come to the United States. Her mother said at that time that this kind of thing was very difficult to explain. Maybe it was just an excuse for them to avoid serving her.
.
When Wu Fei was angry, he wanted to scold the parents-in-law. Since he chose to escape and come to the United States, he shouldn't be shameless and think about coming here again now!
But she was a well-educated person after all, and she never cursed those words out of her mouth.
If it were in the past, she would have just turned a blind eye to this matter. Since her father-in-law wanted to come, she would have let him come, and there would be no room for him to stay at home.
But these are extraordinary times. The IT industry where Mingzhe works is not doing well, and the company is experiencing a layoff crisis. If her husband really loses his job, she might even have to send her daughter back to China to be raised by her mother, so how can she still come here?
A father-in-law?
Bringing an elderly person to the United States to support him and sending money to raise his daughter in China are two completely different concepts.
The elderly have many physical problems. What if they get sick? Can they afford American hospitals?
The life of her and Su Mingzhe is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface. Although they both graduated from prestigious Ivy League schools in the United States and are elites in the eyes of ordinary people, they have always made a living on other people's territory, and they have worked hard and skillfully.
, I have exchanged my sweat for the same professional status as other white people, and my life is much more difficult than outsiders imagine.
What made her most angry was her husband's attitude, but the angrier she became, the clearer her mind became, knowing that just making noise at this time would not help.
So she kept her mouth shut, calmed down her emotions, and then said: "Mingzhe, you have to listen to me on this matter. You really can't make a hasty decision. Your dad is old, and the elderly are very fragile. At least your dad
Before coming, you must have a thorough physical examination, and you must not take it lightly. Otherwise, if there is something, it will become ours, right? Don’t say that you will be blamed by your brothers and sisters for the rest of your life, and we ourselves will die of guilt. Besides,
If he wants to come to the United States, he can't just come by himself. Someone must accompany him, and we must be responsible for him."
Wu Fei knew that her husband was a very traditional person who valued face and feelings, and had a very stubborn personality. It would be even harder to get him to say something about not letting his father come over.
But she didn't want to have a fierce argument with Su Mingzhe, so she had to delay it for a while and then find an opportunity to communicate with him properly.
Su Mingzhe certainly knew his current situation, but he felt that as the eldest son of the Su family and having been abroad all these years, he owed the family too much. He had not even seen his mother for the last time. He could no longer do it.
Lost his father.
Especially when he returned to China this time, he saw with his own eyes the confrontation between Mingcheng and Mingyu. In his eyes, one of the two younger siblings was not enough to be trusted, and the other was not trustworthy. The eldest son still had to take care of his father's pension.
Lift one shoulder.
However, his job and income were extremely real problems, and his wife's opposition gave him a huge headache.
After thinking about it carefully, just when he was about to take out his mobile phone and call a Chinese colleague to ask about the company, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and coincidentally, the person who called him
The person was the colleague he planned to contact.
But what the other party sent him was the news he least wanted to receive.
It turns out that less than an hour ago, the company had announced that they would lay off their entire R&D department. In the future, technical work will be replaced by outsourcing or by setting up new R&D institutions in areas with low labor costs.
In other words, from this moment on, Su Mingzhe is officially unemployed!
