Lin Li seemed to know nothing and said hello to him as if nothing had happened, then walked straight into the door of the Su family.
Then, he pretended to be shocked and looked at Su Mingyu in the yard, and said in astonishment: "Hey, classmate Su Mingyu, why are you here?"
Su Mingyu was equally surprised when she saw Lin Li's appearance!
Then she immediately glared and said with an angry face: "This is my home! I haven't asked you yet, why did you come here? Are you following me?"
"Su Mingyu, why are you talking!"
Hearing her daughter's words, Zhao Meilan immediately scolded her, then turned her attention to Lin Li and asked doubtfully: "Xiao Shi, do you know my daughter?"
Lin Li looked surprised: "Aunt Zhao, Uncle Su, and classmate Su Mingyu are your daughters? I didn't expect such a coincidence. I just transferred to No. 1 Middle School today, and she and I are now classmates."
He specially came over yesterday to say hello to Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan, saying that he had rented the house here, so they all recognized him.
As for Su Mingyu, because they were in class yesterday, the two of them did not meet.
"What a coincidence!"
Zhao Meilan suddenly came over after hearing this, and couldn't help but smile apologetically at Lin Li: "I'm sorry, Xiaoshi, I made you laugh."
After she finished speaking, she took out a key from her jacket pocket and handed it to him: "This is the key to your room. We have vacated the contents and cleaned them for you. You can go up directly."
"Okay, thank you Aunt Zhao."
Lin Li took the key, then looked at Su Mingyu aside, and said hesitantly: "By the way, uncle and aunt, I probably heard some of your conversation outside just now. If I heard correctly, my room should have been there before.
Is it classmate Su Mingyu’s room? But now that room is rented by me, where will she live next?”
"Hey, look at what this damn girl is causing, Xiaoshi, you are really thoughtful."
Seeing him asking about this, Zhao Meilan looked a little embarrassed: "It doesn't matter. Since you rented the house, you can live in peace of mind in the future. You don't have to worry about other things."
Then, she looked at her daughter coldly and said: "Su Mingyu, please stop making trouble here, so as not to make your classmates laugh. In short, we have sold your room, and the owner has now sublet the house to Xiao Shi, so
Your room will belong to Xiaoshi from now on. Now go and move your things into my and your dad’s room, and then live with us!"
Hearing this, Su Mingyu completely understood what had happened and couldn't help biting her lips.
Turning to look at Lin Li, she could see that his face seemed full of apology, but could she blame him for this?
After all, I am just a renter.
It was just a coincidence that I rented the room that I was sold to.
She knew very well that since her mother chose to sell the house, the ownership of that house was no longer owned by the Su family.
Even if the person who moves in today is not Shi Tiandong, it will be someone else!
Looking at Su Mingyu, who had a sad face and was about to cry without tears, Lin Li also felt heartbroken.
This girl didn't even know what evil she had done in her previous life to be reincarnated into such a family in this life.
Especially what Su's mother said and did just now was something he saw with his own eyes. He could imagine what kind of status Su Mingyu had in this family since she was a child.
And looking at Su Daqiang standing outside the door, not daring to say a word, Lin Li became more and more convinced that everything in this family came from this cowardly and incompetent father, and he was full of contempt for him.
If only he could be a little tougher in front of his wife, Su Mingyu wouldn't have such a miserable life in this family.
To be honest, Lin Li couldn't even see anything about him that was worthy of Zhao Meilan.
If Su Daqiang hadn't had a good fortune and was born in an urban area, and was favored by Zhao Meilan's mother for being able to solve her son's household registration and job problems, Zhao Meilan would have looked down on such a mediocre person.
Perhaps it was precisely because of her inability to resist her own destiny that Zhao Meilan gradually became what she is today.
Preferring boys over girls may be just a symptom.
In Lin Li's view, Zhao Meilan had to forcefully control her husband and children because she couldn't control her own destiny.
But Su Mingyu, her daughter, was unwilling to be controlled by her and opposed her everywhere. Over time, Zhao Meilan's patriarchal mentality became more and more ingrained.
After all, the other two sons would not disobey her.
Of course, the most important point is that there is a high probability that Zhao Meilan has no love in her heart.
Without love in her heart, she cannot give her love to others, whether it is her husband or her children. All she has is responsibilities and obligations.
This is the root cause of Su Mingyu's misfortune!
Thinking of this, Lin Li suddenly said: "Aunt Zhao, we have the college entrance examination in a few months. Su Mingyu will move to live with you. I'm afraid it will be somewhat inconvenient to study. Do you think this is okay?
You should let her study in my room at ordinary times. She and I happen to be classmates and we are new to this school. It would also be good for me if we study together."
After saying that, he paused and then said: "In addition, my parents are over there in Hangzhou. I live here alone, and it is not convenient to eat out all the time. Do you think if it is convenient, can I follow you at home?
Let’s start a partnership together and I’ll pay you monthly living expenses, do you think that’s okay?”
"Look at what you kid said, isn't it just an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks? How about living expenses?"
Hearing this, Zhao Meilan quickly raised her hand: "Since you can call me Aunt Zhao, and I am Mingyu's classmate, how can Auntie accept your money? If you don't dislike it, Xiaoshi, you can eat with us in the future.
As for your and Mingyu’s studies, there’s no problem. Auntie has agreed to this. Since you are classmates, you can help each other and make progress!”
She didn't think too much about Lin Li's suggestion, or thought he had any other intentions.
Judging from the young man's dress, demeanor, and speech and behavior, it seems that he came from a good family education. In addition, he and his daughter are classmates, and he is under her nose, so there is nothing to worry about.
She even felt that this was the best of both worlds, as it could take care of their studies and save Su Mingyu from further trouble.
"Thank you Aunt Zhao." Seeing that she had no objection, Lin Li smiled and said, "But living expenses still have to be paid. I have no shame in eating and drinking at your house for free."
After saying that, he took out his wallet from his schoolbag, counted out ten red bills, and handed them to Zhao Meilan.
"Aunt Zhao, here is one thousand yuan, which is considered as my living expenses for this month. Please accept it."
