On the eve of the funeral the next day, Su Daqiang could clearly feel the indescribable strange atmosphere between these children. The second and third children who would have quarreled non-stop when they met became strangers. People are the same, not even looking at each other.
The strangest thing is Mingyu.
Wearing a black windbreaker, she did not enter the mourning hall, but stood outside. The sharp cold wind blew wildly on Mingyu's cheeks. She looked at the photo of Su's mother hanging in the center of the mourning hall. It seems like smiling but not laughing, like crying but not crying.
Lu Ze also met Feifei’s parents today, namely his father-in-law and mother-in-law. The couple settled in Shanghai and came to Suzhou today to attend the funeral of his mother-in-law.
After the ceremony officially began, accompanied by sad music, Mother Su’s sisters and sisters-in-law cried in tune.
Everyone silently recognized that the most conscientious couple in the field were Mingcheng and his wife. The young couple burst into tears and kept silent. The young daughter-in-law, Zhu Li, even cried so hard that she could not stand still, although they were not as old as the old couple. A generation of people cry in a measured manner, but with a face that is so sad that it hurts, there is no way it can be fake.
It was because of the account book that Julie realized that her mother-in-law took care of her little family far more than she imagined.
She even suspected that her mother-in-law's early death was because she was reluctant to spend money for her. When she was in the hospital, she wanted to fight it off. These days, the guilt in Julie's heart became deeper. It’s natural to cry sadly.
Su Mingcheng, on the other hand, really cried, heartbreakingly.
In the first thirty years of his life, his mother was his heaven, and he could fly freely under this sky. The sudden death of Su’s mother gave him a heavy mental blow. , the sky is falling and the earth is falling.
Mingcheng cried with tears and runny nose, making everyone sad when he saw it and crying when he heard it.
As the host of the funeral, Lu Ze looked like the eldest son of Su, and his manners were impeccable.
People looked at the eldest son of the Su family supporting his old father Su Daqiang expressionlessly, and they all admired the eldest son in his heart. So strong.
The eldest son and the second son of the Su family seem to be very good.
At this time, Su Mingyu was the only one standing far away with her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker, like an outsider, as if she was not attending her mother's funeral, but just helping others to pay their respects.
"These days."
"It seems that only such heartless people can get rich and lucky."
Relatives and friends of the Su family He silently placed the label of heartlessness on Mingyu.
But at this time, no one dared to accuse Mingyu, because everyone knew that the youngest daughter of the Su family was not a good person, and no one could guarantee that she would be blamed for something in the future. I just cursed in my heart.
After the ceremony, everyone will ride to the cemetery.
Lu Ze tightened his all-black coat, and slowly moved to Mingyu's side not far away. The latter took a deep breath to adjust his mood, and smiled at Lu Ze, "Brother, what's wrong?"
In the entire Su family, the only one she recognized in her heart was still connected by blood was the eldest brother in front of her.
During this period, after returning to Suzhou, the eldest brother allowed Mingyu to see his current skills.
The phone call last night finally solved the doubts that had been buried in Mingyu's heart for many years. Only then did she realize that there was really a reason why her mother didn't love her. The reason sounded very strange. Justified.
Her background influenced her mother’s further development.
During the mourning session, Mingyu, who was feeling the sad atmosphere, felt fragile at the last moment, but she let the cold wind outside quickly calm down her heated eyelids and shed the tears that were about to flow. Swallow it back into your heart.
Mingyu can gradually let go of the past, but she will not love her mother.
I will not allow myself to shed even a single tear.
"I'm going to the cemetery later, do you want to go with me?"
Lu Ze asked gently.
Mingyu shook his head, "I'm not going. The company just called me several times. During this time, our company is preparing to go public early next year."
As he spoke, the phone in Mingyu's windbreaker pocket rang instantly.
"Hey, don't rush me."
"I'll be right back, right."
Unfortunately, the man who just walked out of the mourning hall Mingcheng just happened to see Mingyu making a phone call.
He couldn't help but burst into anger and strode over, "Today is mom's funeral. You don't go into the mourning hall, but you are still talking on the phone outside. Do you still have mom in your eyes? Su Mingyu, do you still have a conscience?" "
Mingyu put the phone into his pocket with a cold face, with a look of disdain on his face, "Do I have the conscience to ask you to comment? Just take care of yourself. Su Mingcheng, yesterday Haven't you seen that thick stack of ledgers clearly?"
Lu Ze sighed slightly.
The gap between Mingcheng and Mingyu is still too deep. Even if they did some ideological work with them yesterday, they will still quarrel over various things whenever they meet.
Su Mingcheng cried sadly just now.
Seeing Mingyu not even shed a single tear, he was naturally angry.
At this moment, the anger in his heart rose sharply after just two words. He took two steps forward with clenched fists, "Su Mingyu, say it again if you have the ability."
Lu Ze He stood directly in front of Mingcheng.
His tone was calm and he stared at the second brother coldly, "On this occasion today, Mingcheng, what exactly do you want to do?"
"You also want to beat your own sister in public?"
When Su Mingcheng, who was originally so aggressive, saw his elder brother’s appearance, he instantly shrunk. “Brother, Su Mingyu didn’t shed a single tear at her mother’s funeral.Come on, look at her like this, how can she think of herself as a member of the Su family?"
Lu Ze shook his head, "Then I'm not crying, do you still want to beat me up too?"
Mingcheng was speechless for a moment.
After noticing the situation here, Zhu Li quickly ran over, forcefully pulled her husband behind her, and said with a frown, "Mingcheng, what do you want to do today?" It’s mom’s funeral, do you want mom to feel uneasy about leaving?”
Su Mingcheng didn’t know what to say “I”
He turned towards the direction of the bus Go.
Zhu Li apologized to Lu Ze and Mingyu, "I'm sorry, brother Mingyu. Mingcheng has a childish temper. Don't take it to heart. Mingyu, please give me your card number later." I'll transfer the funeral money to you. "
Soon after, only Lu Ze and Mingyu were left here.
"Brother, thank you for what happened yesterday. "
Lu Ze knew that Mingyu was talking about that phone call.
He smiled and shook his head, "A family, no need to say this word. ”
Are we a family?
Su Mingyu looked at the bus. The group of relatives and friends of the Su family were still looking at her through the car window. The quarrel with Mingcheng just now naturally caused Without their attention, it was impossible for Mingyu to associate this group of people with the words "family".
"Brother, I agree with what you said before. "
"When you get to the cemetery later, you will announce to these people in your family that I, Su Mingyu, will have nothing to do with the Su family from now on. "
"Of course, you have always been my big brother in my heart. ”
Mingyu has thought a lot these days.
She feels that the method proposed by her elder brother seems to be the best way in this situation.
Although Common sense says that the bones are broken but the tendons are connected, but Su Mingyu has never regarded herself as a member of the Su family. This funeral is the last time she will appear in front of everyone as a member of the Su family. From now on, she can at best contact her eldest brother. < /p>
Mingyu drove away quickly
Everyone on the bus was not surprised at all by her departure.
They were just delivering Su’s mother’s ashes. When the box entered the cemetery, Lu Ze's words after the funeral ceremony caused quite a controversy: "Mingyu broke off relations with her family after she went to college. This is the agreement she signed with her parents. She It has nothing to do with the family, and she is not responsible for the care of the elderly at home. ”
The eyes of these relatives and friends were attracted by the yellowed paper in Lu Ze’s hand.
Su Daqiang, who was most familiar with this matter, lowered his head and hid. Behind everyone, Lao Su didn't want anyone to ask him about the details of what happened. Lao Su just wanted to finish the funeral quickly and live a comfortable old life.
Lao Su was worried about his eldest son announcing this in public. There are still complaints in my heart.
You said you should wait until I leave.
"Lao Su, is this true?"
"Mingyu hasn't spent a penny since he went to college?"
"The relationship between Mingyu and his family is so tense. It turns out it was related to before."
"No wonder this kid didn't even shed a tear at the funeral today. ”
Everyone was talking a lot.
No one expected that the end of the funeral would be so anticlimactic.
Su Mingcheng grinned widely.
p>He is undoubtedly the happiest one among the people.
Su Mingyu, a poisonous jellyfish, can be driven out of the Su family. Mingcheng feels that if his mother knew about it, Zhu Li would also be very happy. Noticing the uncontrollable joy on her husband's face, she frowned.
Juli always felt that her husband seemed to have changed in some way compared to before.
"Well, is there something wrong?"
After the funeral, Lu Ze was also preparing to return to the United States.
This time he was originally invited after he just joined Oracle headquarters. On vacation, he spent time in the hotel every night to complete the assigned work, and his remote working effect was surprisingly good.
Charlie, the head of the department, personally inspected what Lu Ze handed over. It can be described as perfect.
Charlie could not imagine that Su, who worked alone, could complete the work at hand so well. This time, he realized deeply what kind of talent the Chinese-American in his hands was. , the email told Lu Ze to take care of his family affairs and not to come back in a hurry.
But Lu Ze still wanted to go back early.
There was no need for the gentle Wu Fei to accompany him these days. It felt like something was missing in my arms.
Although Lu Ze had several video calls with Feifei and Xiaomi, the time difference between the two sides was sixteen hours, so it was still a bit awkward when they called. Convenient.
Also, Lu Ze has to go back and work on projects quickly to make money.
Now he only gets his monthly basic salary to handle the work at hand online. The salary at the branch was higher than before, but Lu Ze was not satisfied with this.
He still split the funeral money with Mingcheng in half.
Ming. Yu naturally waved her hand and refused the money from her eldest brother, but Lu Ze still insisted on paying Mingyu.
My brother, Ming settled the accounts.
Su Daqiang kept the account book at home. It sounds incredible.
However, these accounts played a role at the critical moment.
The current situation of the Su family is generally stable. Come down, Mingyu has nominally been removed from the big mud pit of the Su family. After Su's mother's funeral, everyone will return to their own lives.
Su's mother is dead. , but the lives of the living must go on.
Before leaving, Lu Ze also reminded his sister-in-law Zhu Li a few words, hoping that she would pay more attention to Mingcheng's psychology.Mingcheng, who regards his mother as the sky, feels that the sky is falling and the earth is falling, and it is easy for problems to arise in his heart.
Su Mingcheng was the center of Zhao Meilan and the Su family in the first thirty years.
He has never known that life is difficult, because he doesn’t need to know. Mom will naturally protect him from wind and rain, and arrange the best position for this son to bathe in the sun. He has no worries, and he has no worries. Sense of crisis.
But after Su’s mother passed away, Su Mingcheng had to face this complicated world alone.
The last one left may still be the wild old boy Su Daqiang.
With Mingcheng's character, he can definitely manage his father, Old Su. Lu Ze began to play the role of white face. He knew that Su Daqiang was the kind of person who would dare to open a dyeing workshop if he was given three points of color. host.
Can't give him the space to do it.
"I have found a bank for you to find your money, and I have put all the bills and other items in the safe."
"There is a thousand yuan allowance every month Money, thirty-three yuan will be sent to you every day, and the money Mingcheng and Zhu Li will repay you will be put on the card regularly. I will keep this card for you first, and give me a call when you need to spend money. "
"After I settle down there, I will take you over depending on the situation."
Su Daqiang looked longingly at the brand new bank card in Lu Ze's hand.
At this time, he no longer had any obsession with whether to go to the United States or not. What he wanted in his mind was to be happy for a while.
These days, Lao Su has also specifically inquired with his old friends about the situation on the other side of the ocean. It seems that it is not very good. There are many people who draw guns when they disagree.
The old man coughed twice, "Mingzhe, I think it is more appropriate to put this card in my hand. Tell me that you are far away in the United States and it is not convenient to contact you in normal times, right?"
Lu Ze chuckled and put the card directly into his pocket.
"I don't want you to feel it, I want me to feel it."
Su Daqiang's eyes widened.
I never expected that this eldest son’s attitude towards me would suddenly take a 180-degree turn.
With no money in hand, his happy old age was not secure.
What is the difference between this situation now and when he was under the control of his wife?
Su Daqiang looked at the altar that had just been set up on the balcony and lamented loudly, "Meilan." My poor Meilan, I might as well go with you and forget it, now the children are treating me like a grandchild."
Neither Lu Ze nor Ming Cheng beside him tried to persuade the old man. .
Su Daqiang may also feel that he did this a little too often, so he cried twice and sat awkwardly on the wicker chair on the balcony. < /p>
"You are no longer a child, you are an adult of the Su family."
p>"No matter what you do, consider this family more."
Su Mingcheng nodded firmly.
I don’t know why, but from the moment he received the news of his mother’s death and heard his father’s cry, Mingcheng was not only sad, but also felt a strong sense of responsibility in his heart. He felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to do something for her. The Su family does something.
Hearing what Lu Ze said, he resonated deeply.
"Brother, don't worry, I am responsible for everything here. I will be more attentive. Dad will be living in my house during this time, and I will take good care of him."
Lu Ze He glanced at the cheap old man, waved towards Mingcheng, and whispered a few words in his ear.
After listening, Su Mingcheng's expression became very strange.
