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

While Zhang Yu was buying real estate and luxury cars in Shanghai, Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li's lives seemed to have fallen into an abyss of misery.

After writing an IOU to Zhang Yu, the couple had to adopt a frugal lifestyle to repay the debt. In order to relieve the pressure of debt, Zhu Li forced Su Mingcheng to sell his car. After deducting the 400,000 yuan loan, there was still 200,000 yuan left in the bank.

Since then, they could only take the bus and subway to work, and began to cook by themselves, cutting down on non-essential expenses. The original plan to hire an hourly worker to help take care of Su Daqiang was rejected by Zhu Li, and the two of them had to take over the responsibility themselves.

However, Su Daqiang showed no gratitude at all.

Although Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li tried to learn how to cook, in front of Su Daqiang, it was just an experiment to test their cooking skills, and it was almost impossible to expect to be recognized by miracle. Fortunately, Su Mingyu found a restaurant called "Meat Eater" and often delivered takeout to Su Daqiang.

The owner of the shop is Shi Tiandong. Su Daqiang praises his cooking skills highly. Influenced by Su Mingyu, Shi Tiandong is also happy to get close to this big customer, and the two of them have a very pleasant relationship.

Originally, Zhu Li thought that frugality was just a small task, but she had been pampered since childhood and it was difficult for her to really adapt to this kind of difficulty. She grew up in a wealthy family, and everything she ate, wore, lived and traveled was of the best quality. Later, she fell in love with Su Mingcheng and married into a wealthy family, and Zhao Meilan paid for all her expenses. Now that Zhao Meilan has left, they can no longer rely on this extra money to maintain their quality of life. Only after the mortgage is paid off will they really review the accounts. At this time, Zhu Li was surprised to find that she and Su Mingcheng only had about 2,000 yuan left for expenses each month, despite this, they still had to bear miscellaneous expenses such as taxes and insurance.

It turns out that their predicament stems from the low income of both of them: Su Ming became a top student at a prestigious university, but because he was used to a comfortable life relying on his family, he lacked effort in his work. He performed mediocrely in the company and only earned 7,000 yuan in ten years of work, and only about 6,000 yuan was left after deducting taxes and insurance. Zhu Li's income was slightly higher as an accountant, 8,000 yuan per month, working in a small financial auditing company. The couple's combined salary was less than 15,000 yuan, and it was not easy to save 2,000 yuan after paying the mortgage and necessary living expenses every month.

As a woman, Julie naturally spends a lot of money. Cosmetics, clothes, bags, etc. are all daily necessities, and she even needs to buy gifts for her parents. Only when she truly experiences frugality in life will Julie realize how difficult life is. She dared not even look at those top-notch cosmetics and beautiful clothes, and left in a hurry after asking the price.

On the contrary, because Su Mingcheng no longer had a car, which was his biggest expense, he accepted a frugal life more quickly, but he also had to endure his inner struggle.

After a month of hard times, Julie could no longer bear it, so she secretly returned to her parents' home and made her parents mistakenly believe that there was a problem between them.

That day, unexpectedly, Su Mingcheng received a call from Zhang Yu informing him that he had arrived in Suzhou and planned to bring the Su family to dinner. He took a taxi to find Zhu Li and took Su Daqiang with him to the restaurant. As soon as they arrived at the door, while Su Daqiang was still helping Su Mingcheng get off the car after a long journey, he saw a Mercedes-Benz GLE slowly approaching. This is a top luxury SUV with a price of one million. Su Mingcheng, who was interested in the car, immediately said to Zhu Li and Su Daqiang: "Mom and Dad, hurry up and make way for the car."

Finally, the GLE stopped beside them and lowered the window. "Brother?" Su Mingcheng was surprised to see that it was Zhang Yu himself in the cab?

"Dad, Mingcheng, you're here!" Zhang Yu was all smiles. He let Wu Fei and Xiao Mi get out of the car first, and he went to park the car.

Wu Fei hugged Xiao Mi and got out of the car. He greeted Su Daqiang and his wife symbolically with a slightly cold attitude. "Brother, is this a new car you bought?" Su Mingcheng asked with a hint of envy.

"Indeed, it's a new car that I just bought. I'll live in China for a while, and it'll be very convenient to have a car." Zhang Yu didn't show off deliberately, but considering his current wealth, this GLE is low-key enough. His original goal was to buy the G-Class, but unfortunately it was out of stock at the time, and he had to wait a few months before he could pick up the car.

"Go upstairs first. I'll park the car and come to find you." Zhang Yu said as he parked the car in the hotel's exclusive parking space. Su Mingcheng stared at his GLE with envy in his eyes.

After the car door closed, Zhang Yu immediately saw Su Mingyu's CLS approaching. "Brother, is this your new car?" Su Mingyu asked curiously after getting out of the car to confirm.

"Well, I just bought it. It's similar to your model." Zhang Yu explained after putting away the car keys.

Su Mingyu didn't seem too surprised, after all, her car was also high-end. "It seems that you really want to return to China to settle down? Is the house ready? Do you want me to help you with the consultation?" She said calmly.

"The property deed has been completed. I came back to invite my dad to live with me and listen to his opinions on the decoration." Zhang Yu and Su Mingyu walked into the restaurant and added: "And today, my sister-in-law brought the children with us."

Su Mingyu's eyes lit up when she heard that, "Xiao Mi is here too? As an aunt, of course I have to take care of her myself." She always has a lot of love for children.

After entering the private room, Su Mingyu walked towards Su Daqiang and his wife enthusiastically, and then went straight to Wu Fei and her daughter. "Xiao Mi, come and let your aunt hug you."

The amazing thing is that Xiao Mi was a little shy when she met her grandparents, but Su Mingyu, her cousin whom she met for the first time, was particularly close to her. She didn't cry at all, but played happily, which made Su Mingyu love her even more.

Su Mingyu was very understanding and considerate of the child, so she naturally received much favor. "Brother, sister-in-law, I have a small gift for Xiao Mi." She took out a gold bracelet with cartoon patterns and carefully put it on Xiao Mi.

In contrast, Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li seemed a little embarrassed. They had just met Xiao Mi for the first time, but they had neglected to give gifts. Zhang Yu smiled and motioned for everyone to sit down, and ordered many delicacies.

"Mingcheng, since you didn't drive here by yourself, let's have a good drink together later." He didn't know about Su Mingcheng's purchase of a new car.

"Haha, brother, drink if you want. In America, my sister-in-law has strict control!" Su Mingcheng said jokingly.

However, Zhang Yu responded with a smile, "My sister-in-law is quite relaxed with me. It's a rare occasion for our Su family to get together, so let's celebrate with a drink, just do what you can." Then he asked the waiter to open a bottle of Moutai. He simply couldn't get enough of the taste, and other wines always lacked something in comparison.

Seeing Maotai, Su Mingcheng's eyes sparkled. Such a good wine is rare. "Since you are so interested, I will risk my life to drink with you." He picked up the wine pourer and filled a glass for himself and Zhang Yu.

Although Su Daqiang was not good at drinking, he was a big foodie. The table full of delicious food dazzled him and made him salivate.

Zhang Yu raised his glass and proposed: "Today is the regular gathering of the Su family, let's celebrate with this." Everyone raised their glasses when they heard this. Although Xiao Mi was young, she also knew the occasion and toasted.

After everyone finished their drink, Zhang Yu got down to business: "Dad, Wu Fei has returned with his son. They will live in Shanghai from now on. I have to go back in two days to deal with the handover of the house."

He told Su Mingcheng, "During this period, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you and Zhu Li to take care of Dad." Zhu Li smiled and promised, "Don't worry, we will take good care of Dad."

Su Mingcheng and his wife were filled with anticipation and were delighted as they finally saw the hope of breaking free from their shackles.

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "I want to toast you with this glass, thank you for all your hard work for Dad." His word "hard work" made Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li's eyes slightly moist. Who could clearly realize that it was not easy for them to take care of their trouble-making son this month!

Su Mingcheng drank the wine in the glass and sighed, "Brother, if you need any help, just let me know. Zhu Li and I will fully support you." His words were full of sincerity.

"It's nothing, actually. I have already chosen a house in Shanghai, but I still need to decide on the decoration design. The main reason I came back to Suzhou this time is to take my dad to see that place." Zhang Yu said.

Su Daqiang immediately became interested and even ignored the delicious food in front of him.

Zhang Yu then added: "The house has been bought, but I haven't told you. I have to ask for your opinion and satisfaction, right Dad." The implication is that Su Daqiang did not participate in the decision to buy the house, which made the latter quite dissatisfied.

Wu Fei frowned slightly when she heard this. She felt a little strange when she returned to the province this time. The original Su Daqiang was not like this. When he was with Zhao Meilan, Su Daqiang was like an invisible man, timid and afraid of things, and hardly spoke.

Zhang Yu then took out a beautiful leaflet, which was an introduction to Tianhai Community, and handed it to Su Daqiang: "This house was chosen after careful consideration, Dad, I believe you will be satisfied."

Su Mingcheng stretched his neck and saw the title of the single page. The words "Tianhai International" came into his eyes. "What is this Tianhai International?" He was a little confused.

Su Mingyu almost dropped the chopsticks in her hand when she heard this. "Big Brother, you are planning to buy a house in Tianhai International, right? I remember that one square meter there seems to be about 150,000!"

Faced with such luxurious configuration, Su Daqiang showed an unprecedented look of astonishment on his face, and he almost couldn't hold the brochure in his hand steady. When he heard Su Mingyu mention 150,000 yuan per square meter, his eyes widened instantly, and he asked in disbelief: "150,000 yuan per square meter? A house costs hundreds of millions!"

Su Mingqiang and Zhu Li exchanged glances, both of them were deeply shocked by Zhang Yu's courage: they originally thought that he would buy a mid-priced house when settling down in Shanghai, but they didn't expect that he would go straight for a luxury house from the beginning.

Hearing Su Mingcheng's doubts, Su Mingyu explained: "Dad, Tianhai International is the top luxury housing project in Shanghai. It has an excellent location, first-class facilities, and impeccable service quality. Naturally, the price will be higher."

Su Daqiang was completely attracted by this page of paper. He was fascinated by the houses, facilities and beautiful environment in the pictures. He was amazed by the unprecedented scenes of life.

Zhang Yu's purchase of a luxury house also amazed Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li. They originally thought that Zhang Yu bought the house for his father to live in, but now it sounds like an investment. "How big a house did you buy? Isn't it too small for Dad to live in?" Su Mingcheng asked with concern.

Regarding the specific information of the house, Zhang Yu responded: "I remember that the smallest area of ​​Tianhai International is 133 square meters, with three bedrooms and one living room." Then he asked Su Mingyu, "What type of apartment do you think I bought?"

When they learned that even the lowest-spec house price of 133 square meters at yuan per square meter, plus taxes and fees, was close to million yuan, even the usually calm Su Daqiang couldn't help but laugh.

Zhu Li came back to her senses at this time: "Brother, you said you bought a house for Dad, but you don't live there yourself?"

Wu Fei hugged Xiao Mi in his arms and added: "We bought three units in the same community, one for my husband and me, one for my parents, and one for my dad, so that we can take care of each other."

The news was so shocking that Su Mingyu blurted out first: "Brother, where did you get so much money?" Such a luxury purchase was really beyond her understanding.

Except for Wu Fei and Xiao Mi, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Yu's face.

"I have made some investments and earned some money," Wu Fei said.

Seeing how rich he was, Su Mingchengdu became jealous and quickly asked, "What kind of investment can be so profitable?"

Zhang Yu did not hide anything. He told his brothers Su Mingcheng and Su Mingyu about the matter: "I predict that there is still growth potential in . It is not difficult to have another round of growth. If you have spare money, you can also consider investing."
