After experiencing the account book incident in the afternoon, when they got home, both Zhu Li and Su Mingcheng looked very ugly.
And Su Daqiang didn't dare to say a word. He hid in his room immediately when he came back, for fear that his son and daughter-in-law would cause trouble for him.
But at this time, who is still in the mood to pay attention to him?
Julie felt that today was the most embarrassing day she had ever experienced. Although no one said anything harsh to her from beginning to end, she still felt very ashamed.
So she decided to return the money she and Su Mingcheng had spent to Su Daqiang as soon as possible, otherwise she would never be able to hold her head up in front of the Su family for the rest of her life.
For this reason, Zhu Li and Su Mingcheng had already had a very unpleasant quarrel just now, and they are now having an awkward quarrel.
But in the end, the matter ended with Su Mingcheng's compromise, so he himself was in the wrong.
"Honey, I really didn't expect to ask so much money from my family. I always thought it was borrowed and repaid. And every time I paid back money, my mother always said why I paid so much. She and her father have pensions.
I don’t need my children to contribute money for old age, so I often buy things and take them back with me, but I really haven’t settled this account..."
Su Mingcheng shrugged his head and lowered his head proactively.
Hearing her husband's words, Zhu Li thought that every time she went to her parents-in-law's house, she would eat and take them back. Her mother-in-law, Zhao Meilan, would always pack seasonal food for them to take home. Now, in their refrigerator, there is a box of old food.
The sesame walnut donkey hide gelatin paste made by my mother-in-law.
But after the parents-in-law retired, they only had a small fixed income. They both ate and took money, but whose money was spent?
At first she thought that the conditions at her parents-in-law's house were the same as her parents', with a well-off life and no worries about food and drink. She thought that what they saw when they went to her parents-in-law's house was their daily life. But after looking at the accounts today, she realized that her parents-in-law only
They maintained the most basic standard of living, but all their wealth was plundered by her and Su Mingcheng in the name of love.
So Julie lowered her head and sighed, unable to say anything.
She didn't blame Su Mingcheng too much about money, because judging from the account books, Su Mingcheng gradually spent more money after he was with her, and she was responsible for this.
All in all, today's account book was a huge blow to her, and she still hasn't been able to catch her breath until now.
Zhu Li has been smart and studious since she was a child. She always strives to be strong and pursues self-improvement, independence and unrestrained self-reliance. However, she did not expect that she would unknowingly follow her husband and become a gnawing old man.
Looking back now, she even doubted whether her mother-in-law's death was related to their money being eaten up and the quality of life declining.
Although she also knew that this guess was a bit forced, Julie just felt guilty.
And because of this reason, they did usurp the rights and interests that originally belonged to Su Mingyu.
So Zhu Li was silent for a while and said: "No matter what, it's fine. We did spend a lot of money on our parents, including buying this house and decorating it. The two elders saved that money from their own teeth.
Then it was deducted from Mingyu's share. If this were not the case, the relationship between her and her family would not be so bad. Speaking of which, we are all the culprits. Xiaoshi is right, we should all go talk to Mingyu.
Sorry."
When Su Mingcheng heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't want to continue arguing, so he had to force a smile and said: "Lili, I didn't know that my parents had been living a tight life, and my mother never said
After all this, I thought my family would be able to come up with money. Including the money to buy a house and decorate it. My mother said that when children get married, adults always have to provide some support. She said she didn’t want us to pay it back. Besides, you said Su Mingyu, she
After the college entrance examination, I ran away with the man named Shi and never came back home again. This can’t be entirely blamed on my mother, right?”
Su Mingcheng's words were not entirely evasive. In the past, he had always said whatever Zhao Meilan said. How could he know what was going on at home if his mother didn't tell her.
He felt that he did not deliberately want to gnaw on his old age, plunder his parents' hard-earned money, and squeeze Su Mingyu's living space. Wasn't his wife too unfair to him when she said this to him?
However, Julie was already feeling sulky in her heart. Now that she saw that instead of blaming himself, he was still defending himself, she couldn't help but couldn't control her emotions and said angrily: "Don't always say what your mother said, okay?"
Okay? Are you a kid in kindergarten who can’t think with your head? And you are an adult and you keep reaching out to your mother to borrow money after work. Are you embarrassed?"
Su Mingcheng also felt aggrieved, and said with a dark face: "Lili, let's discuss the matter, can we not be unreasonable? I didn't mean it, do you think it was me who wanted to offend my parents? Don't you know
Among us three brothers and sisters, who often goes home to visit my parents and make them happy? Because of this, my mother likes me more, and it is human nature to prefer me. Besides, I don’t borrow money from her all the time. Sometimes it’s my mother who looks at me.
Money was tight, so they took the initiative to give me emergency supplies, and I also paid them back. It's just that I was a little careless and didn't remember the amount clearly. Mom said it was enough. I admit my mistake, but you don't need to make the problem bigger.
, say I’m a kindergarten kid?”
"Su Mingcheng, still don't you know where you went wrong?"
Zhu Li saw that he was still quibbling, and became even more angry: "I see that you don't feel guilty at all. You just think that your mother is partial, so you can unscrupulously take advantage of the family, right? That's wrong.
Wrong, don’t look for so many reasons, why do you think you are innocent?"
"I didn't say I was innocent and I already admitted my mistake. What else do you want from me? Do you still want me to kneel down in front of my mother's soul to admit my mistake? Or do you have to dig deep into the roots of my thoughts?
Do you want me to admit that I am inherently greedy before I give up? Why are you so unreasonable today?"
Su Mingcheng is also on fire. He was criticized one after another in his old house today. He is already embarrassing enough. Why hasn't Zhu Li finished?
If you say it's wrong, it's already wrong, so what's the use of continuing to pursue it?
"Can you take some responsibility? If you make a mistake, don't make excuses for yourself. No matter how many excuses you find, it is still a mistake. Since the consequences have been caused, try to make up for it. At least apologize to Mingyu first, and you don't even have the minimum
If you know you made a mistake but didn't correct it, is this an attitude of admitting your mistake?" Julie's face turned red.
Su Mingcheng said angrily: "You know you want me to apologize. It's not like you haven't seen the faces of Su Mingyu and Shi today. Do you think they care about my apology? And they leave as soon as they say, so give it to me."
Any chance to apologize?"
"You are still here looking for excuses. Do you dare to really face the problem?" Zhu Li stared at him and asked.
"Julie, can you be more objective? It was you who asked them to discuss dad's support issue before. Now it's you who wants them to withdraw from support. When have I ever objected? How come you are right and wrong now?
Are you no longer a human being around me? You have already said what you said, and I am just looking for excuses for whatever I say, so I won’t say it anymore, that’s all!"
After saying that, Su Mingcheng tossed his coat angrily, turned around, left the room and went to the bathroom. He also closed the door forcefully and stopped communicating with her.
