Siheyuan: If you ruin the reputation of the whole courtyard, I will move out

Su Daqiang said with some dissatisfaction: "You can't let your brother spend our son's money and make his own flesh and blood suffer!"

Zhao Meilan said angrily: "Su Daqiang, do you think that I can solve the problem by speaking as loudly as you do?"

Su Daqiang shrank his neck and said dejectedly, "I know I feel annoyed when you mention Mingzhe doing odd jobs. After all, he is our only baby."

Hearing this, Zhao Meilan fell silent. She favored her younger brother, but that didn't mean she didn't care about her son, and she didn't want Zhang Yu to wash the dishes.

She thought Zhang Yu had a bright future and could earn money by working while studying in the United States, but she had not expected the hardships of real life. She herself disdained the job of washing dishes, let alone her son.

Su Daqiang continued, "I think forget it. Going to an expensive university requires so much hardship. It's better to give up. After all, it won't be difficult for him to find a job after graduating from Tsinghua University."

However, Zhao Meilan insisted: "No, you can't quit halfway through. Mingzhe's friends all know that he is studying abroad. Quitting halfway would be a bad example."

Su Daqiang sighed: "Do you still care about your so-called face? Even if you don't let outsiders know, you can't stop Mingzhe's friends from talking about it."

Zhao Meilan retorted, "It's different. If you want to look good on the surface, you have to suffer behind the scenes. This is understandable. Although washing dishes doesn't sound good, it's still a job. It's not something to be ashamed of. It only proves that my son is kind and sensible."

She stressed: "It would be even more serious if he gave up his studies midway. The outside world might mistakenly think that something was wrong with him."

The two fell into silence, and no one spoke for a long time.

Finally, it was Zhao Meilan who broke the silence: "Maybe I can help Mingyu find a husband and use her betrothal money to subsidize our family."

Upon hearing this, Su Daqiang immediately became excited: "Zhao Meilan, I warn you, don't think of such a bad idea. It's a new era now, and marriages are no longer arranged by parents. Mingzhe is my son, and Mingyu is also my daughter. I will not sacrifice my daughter to help my son jump into the fire pit."

This was the first time Zhao Meilan had seen her husband react like this. This was an unprecedented level of vitality in him.

Zhao Meilan said dissatisfiedly: "Su Daqiang, are you going to lose your temper again? I don't seem to be that annoying. You are actually quite excited to make me angry!"

Su Daqiang shrank his neck and bent down, seemingly not daring to refute.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he felt something was wrong, but Zhao Meilan touched his bottom line. In their past, Zhao Meilan married him largely because she valued the Su family's ability to prepare a dowry for her younger brother, but now such a situation happened again, he would never allow it.

She wanted to replicate her own fate and push her daughter into trouble again. Even though he was a soft persimmon, she could no longer sit idly by this time.

Couldn't he just say nothing?

In fact, the conversation between the two was clearly heard by their son Zhang Yu, who was listening on the other side of the house. This was an old house with poor sound insulation, and Zhang Yu had sharp ears and excellent hearing.

But he never expected that his mother would be so obsessed with men, which was incredible. This reminded Zhao Meilan of someone - Jia Zhang.

The Jia couple in the courtyard also had a serious concept of favoring boys over girls. In order to let their grandson Banggeng live a prosperous life, they sent their two granddaughters out to beg for a living.

Just like Su Mingyu's fate, she met a harsh mother. In contrast, Su Mingzhe and Su Mingcheng seemed to be extremely lucky.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh and said, "I'm afraid this system's task is not easy to complete. It's really hard to make Su Mingyu happy."

The next day, Zhang Yu went to the bank to exchange the money for goods he had previously purchased for others, and received a total of US$80,000 worth of US dollars.

He calculated the profit of this transaction. After deducting transportation and commission, the actual income was still 30,000 US dollars. Shopping by agent was obviously more cost-effective and easy.

During the purchasing process, Zhang Yu noticed the debt problem. Although it was only a few people, it was enough to attract his attention. Since most of the buyers were Wu Fei's friends and classmates, Zhang Yu chose to tell her about it.

Wu Fei immediately decided to ask his friends to collect the debt, but Zhang Yu, concerned about damaging their friendship, thought it would be best for him to do it himself, so he went to Shanghai in person to collect the debt.

Fortunately, those friends were reasonable and did not say much when Zhang Yu came to their house in person. They just asked to check the authenticity of the goods before paying. After accompanying them to the brand counter to check that they were correct, they paid readily and said they wanted to buy more famous brands.

In order to reduce the risk of debt, Zhang Yu increased the advance payment by 10% and asked his sister Su Mingyu to take over the debt collection. In terms of domestic affairs, he focused on purchasing and transportation, while Su Mingyu was responsible for developing the online store business.

Su Mingyu, who had already started her online store, accepted his initial investment of 50,000 yuan. Although she was not limited to being an agent for goods, as long as the goods were good, she would have the opportunity to make a profit. Zhang Yu would only provide her with major strategic advice, and the rest depended on her own efforts.

After arriving in Shanghai, Zhang Yu thought that he could not visit empty-handed, so he went to the store to buy some gifts and prepared to formally visit Wu Fei's home.

Wu Fei lives in a high-end residential area with a superior geographical location and elegant environment. Six years ago, the housing price was nearly 20,000 yuan per square meter, revealing the wealth of her family.

Wu Fei had been contacted before, and she greeted Zhang Yu at the door when he arrived.

When I learned that I was going to visit Wu Fei, I found out that her family lived in Apartment No. 9 on the 3th floor of a building, a duplex with four bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, covering an area of ​​approximately 160 square meters.

Wu's mother enthusiastically led Zhang Yu in, while Wu's father sat on the sofa and pretended to read a newspaper. When she saw the gift Zhang Yu brought, Wu's mother showed a hint of dissatisfaction, "You kid didn't even tell me you were here, and you bought something."

It was the first time for Zhang Yu to visit, and he was a little overwhelmed, so he said, "Uncle and aunt, this is my first visit, and I don't know what to buy, so I brought some cigarettes, alcohol, fruits, and tea, I hope you will like them." He placed these gifts at the entrance, "I came here in a hurry this time, I hope you don't mind."

After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Wu's mother smiled and expressed her approval: "Xiao Su is really sensible, that's great."

At this time, Father Wu stopped pretending to read the newspaper and said to Zhang Yu, "I happen to have some free time tonight, so why don't you stay and have a drink with me, Xiao Su?"

But Wu Fei mentioned that his brother would be returning to Suzhou in the evening, and suggested that the family not drink anymore. Zhang Yu said at the right time: "It's okay, I enjoy it, just a little drink is fine." Hearing this, Wu's father's worry was slightly relieved, and he said: "It's rare that Xiao Su is here, it doesn't matter if he drinks a little more, at most he can sleep in the study tonight."

After thinking it over, Wu Fei agreed, and considering that he might be able to spend more time with her, he did not object.

Then Aunt Wu urged them to go into the restaurant, wash their hands and eat, "Stop chatting here, come quickly!" She smiled and served the dishes to the table.

On the way to the bathroom, Zhang Yu gently kissed Wu Fei on the cheek. Wu Fei's face turned red, and she shyly raised her foot to respond to the kiss. Their eyes showed deep emotions.

It is impossible that Mr. and Mrs. Wu in the kitchen did not notice Zhang Yu and Wu Fei's little action. They pretended not to see it and just ignored it slightly.

"Wait a minute, you and Su Xiaoya have some drinks, take it easy, don't get drunk." Aunt Wu instructed while serving soup to her husband, Father Wu.

"Don't worry, you don't know how much I can drink. Today, I must make that kid drink to drown his sorrows and tell the truth. If he dares to bully our girl, I will make him pay." Father Wu said firmly.

Aunt Wu took the bowl and continued, "Don't think like that. I think Su Xiaoya is a very good person and she is sincere to him." There was some compromise and hope in her tone.

Father Wu snorted coldly, "People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. There are many bad people out there now. Haven't you seen the reports on TV? Aren't there enough girls who have been cheated of their money and sex?"

Glancing at Zhang Yu and Wu Fei who were still clinging to each other, Wu's mother sighed, "I think my daughter's taste is not that bad."

Dad Wu walked towards the restaurant with the bowl in his hand and left a sentence: "True gold is not afraid of red fire" to show his determination, but he cleverly concealed his drunkenness.

At this moment, Wu Fei also walked into the dining room with Zhang Yu, and asked in confusion: "Dad, what do you mean by 'red stove fire'?"

Father Wu pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's okay. I'll remind Mom not to forget to turn off the stove."

Zhang Yu smiled and asked innocently, "Uncle and aunt, do you need my help with anything?"

"The last dish will be ready soon, please take your seats!" As she said this, Aunt Wu walked out of the kitchen with the dishes in her hands and closed the door to prevent the smoke from spreading into the restaurant.

Facing Wu Ma's warm hospitality, Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Auntie's cooking skills are really good, better than those in restaurants!"

Everyone loves to hear praise. Even though Wu Ma knew that her cooking skills were only at home-cooked level, she was still happy to be praised by Zhang Yu.

After sitting down, Father Wu took out a bottle of Wuliangye and asked, "Xiao Su, how do you drink?"

He took out the wine dispenser and filled Zhang Yu's cup with a pot of wine, about two ounces. "Uncle, I'm okay." Zhang Yu said modestly.

He also filled his own glass and raised it, "First glass, welcome to my home."

Without being pretentious, Zhang Yu immediately clinked glasses with Wu's father and drank them all in one gulp. As Wu's father kept making excuses to toast, half of the bottle of wine was gone before he knew it, and Wu's father's face gradually became red with alcohol.

In a drunken state, Father Wu took Zhang Yu's hand and began to talk nonsense: "You know, I am famous for my huge appetite in the factory. Even the factory director has to obey me. Between the Northeast Tiger and the Northwest Wolf, who is afraid of the Subei sheep? You are from Su City, how could you..."

"Brother, have another drink. Let's drink to each other's cups."

"Brother, this is my only daughter. You must treat her well. I bet if I find that she is being wronged, I will fly over and...beat you up."

Finally, when they were completely drunk, Dad Wu held Zhang Yu in his arms, muttering "brother" until Mom Wu and Wu Fei worked together to carry him back to the room.

"Old Wu, didn't I tell you to drink less? Why can't you control yourself?" Mother Wu helped Father Wu lie down on the bed, feeling helpless.

The future son-in-law got his father-in-law drunk, which made Mother Wu angry but also amused.

After settling her husband down, she walked out of the room and found Zhang Yu sitting there with a ruddy face and a calm heartbeat. It seemed that this prospective son-in-law had an amazing alcohol tolerance, and it was not so easy to get him to tell the truth.

So, Aunt Wu suggested: "Xiao Su, it's already late today, why don't you stay here with us for one night and go back tomorrow."

Zhang Yu looked at the watch. Although it was only eight o'clock, it was not too late. But looking at Wu Fei's expectant eyes, no one would be stupid enough to leave at this time.

"Well, sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, the guest rooms are ready." Aunt Wu said with a smile.

"Fei Fei, go clean the guest room and change the bed sheets and quilt covers." Mother Wu instructed the child.

"Okay, Mom." Wu Fei walked towards the bedroom happily.

Zhang Yu took the initiative to follow up and help, and the two of them cooperated tacitly to replace the items, which made Wu Ma, who was watching on the side, feel warm-hearted. She secretly thought that it was not a bad thing to have such a good son-in-law.

After changing the bed sheets and quilt covers, Wu Ma prepared a new set of toiletries for Zhang Yu and guided him to wash up in the public bathroom.

There are two bathrooms in Wu Ma's house. The master bedroom is equipped with a bathroom for Wu Dad and Wu Ma, and the one next to the living room is Wu Fei's private space. After cleaning up, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening. Wu Ma went to the master bedroom to take care of her drunk husband. At this moment, Zhang Yu was lying in the guest room, thinking about whether to take Wu Fei home to visit his parents.

While he was thinking, the door of the guest room opened quietly, and Wu Fei, wearing pajamas, stepped in like a cat and made a gesture to Zhang Yu to keep quiet.
