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

Su Mingcheng was furious and yelled at Su Daqiang: "You live alone, why do you need such a big room? Are you going to run a marathon in it? You should buy the entire Forbidden City!"

Hearing this, Su Daqiang stood up suddenly, pointed at Su Mingcheng and said, "Su Mingcheng, how can you yell at me! The reason I insisted on having four bedrooms and a living room is to reserve an extra room for you and Zhu Li!"

Su Mingcheng was shocked by these words, and Zhu Li quickly stepped in to mediate: "Mingcheng, why are you talking to Dad like this? Apologize now!"

"Dad, I'm sorry." Su Mingcheng lowered his head, "That's not what I meant."

Su Daqiang said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph, I see you guys are just waiting for me to move out as soon as possible so that I won't bother you. I'll go on my own." He walked into the room angrily and slammed the door.

Zhu Li looked at Su Mingcheng in embarrassment. "After all, father won't be at home for long, so don't bother with him."

Su Mingcheng sighed and said, "Yes, I understand. But seeing him not listening to reason really makes me angry. Look at my eldest brother, he wanted to let our father enjoy his old age, travel, buy a house... but in the end he was still not satisfied. He was not like this before. Now I feel sad for mom."

Julie was puzzled: "What are you talking about?"

"How hard is it for us to take care of dad now? In comparison, mom has taken care of dad all her life. It's sad to think about it." When she was moved, tears welled up in Julie's eyes. She could only confide her grievances to her partner.

"With Dad's personality, he would have starved to death without Mom's support since he was a child."

Now Su Mingcheng more or less understood why Zhao Meilan strictly controlled Su Daqiang - it was like protecting the weaker party. He whispered to Zhu Li: "No matter what, he is a father after all, and sometimes he should be more lenient."

Julie hugged his arm and advised softly: "Yes, you must remember to forgive. I will help you comfort him."

After saying that, Su Mingcheng felt a little embarrassed. He came to the door of Su Daqiang's room and shouted, "Dad, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that to you. To make amends, I'll go shopping with you and Zhu Li tomorrow and buy some clothes to wear."

After a while, the door opened and Su Daqiang asked with a sullen face, "Are you really taking me to buy clothes?"

Of course, no problem. I have already arranged the dinner for your old friends. The restaurant has been booked. When do you plan to go over to try the dishes? "Su Daqiang was immediately happy when he heard this, and said excitedly: "I'll call them right away."

Su Mingcheng had long been aware of Su Daqiang's temper and knew how to please him. Afterwards, he called Zhang Yu again and told him about Su Daqiang's idea of ​​changing rooms.

"The house has been bought and cannot be changed casually. If Dad is not satisfied, then he can move back to the old house. I will find a nanny to look after him 24 hours a day." Zhang Yu made it clear on the phone that he had already made plans for Su Daqiang's retirement and was fulfilling his obligations as a child.

If there are more dissatisfactions, they will gather the whole family again to discuss more in-depth pension strategies. After hanging up the phone with Su Mingcheng, he had more important matters to deal with.

At this moment, Zhang Yu was sitting in a small restaurant called "Meat Eater", and opposite him sat the owner Shi Tiandong and Su Mingyu. "Brother, what's wrong with our dad again?" Su Mingyu asked curiously after hearing Zhang Yu's words.

"It's nothing, just a disagreement over the house." After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Your boyfriend's cooking skills are really great, and the food is delicious."

The compliment made Shi Tiandong a little embarrassed, but Su Mingyu quickly clarified: "They are not officially dating yet. He is still in the observation stage."

Shi Tiandong became anxious when he heard this, and quickly begged Zhang Yu: "Brother, you have to help me persuade my sister, can the observation period end soon?"

"Haha, my sister has been very stubborn since she was a child, and I can't help her." Zhang Yu laughed, and then Su Mingyu said proudly: "Do you think it's easy to pursue me?"

Shi Tiandong smiled bitterly and said, "Mingyu, you are as unattainable as a fairy. For a mortal like me to get you, I have to go through many difficulties."

Zhang Yu responded, "You can't be called a fairy, but you are a woman with a strong sense of career. It's true that it's not easy to pursue you." Shi Tiandong heard this and asked, "Brother, do you have any suggestions?"

Looking at Su Mingyu, Zhang Yu suggested: "You have quite a few suggestions. Although my sister is excellent in her profession, she needs to improve in terms of taking care of her daily life. You can work harder in this area."

Hearing this, Su Mingyu rolled her eyes and retorted: "Brother, are you trying to push me to you? Do you think I can't get married?"

Zhang Yu smiled cheerfully: "It is precisely because I treat you as my sister that I hope you can find happiness. Xiao Shitou is a good person with a good personality. It is not easy for him to tolerate your little temper. Such a good son-in-law must not be missed."

Hearing this, Shi Tiandong was overjoyed: "Brother, I have another soup on the stove. I'll get it for you." Then he got up and went to the kitchen.

After Shi Tiandong left, Zhang Yu looked at Su Mingyu and said earnestly: "You are also thirty years old, don't miss Xiao Shitou. He is really good."

Su Mingyu had a faint smile on her face. She chewed a bite of the food and nodded slightly without giving a direct response.

When they met Shi Tiandong, they felt that they had met too late. They were both cooking masters and had a great conversation. Shi Tiandong's cooking skills started from the enlightenment teaching at school. After years of research and integration of modern kitchen utensils and Western food techniques, he formed his own unique style. Zhang Yu's cooking skills came from Master He in the Siheyuan world. He is well versed in authentic Sichuan cuisine and Tan family cuisine, familiar with many secret recipes for dishes, and many traditional delicacies that have been lost in the world.

When they were having a great time chatting, Shi Tiandong began to ask Zhang Yu for advice, and Zhang Yu shared several secret recipes of the Tan family without reservation. The elder sister who was listening on the side was surprised, and she felt a little speechless when she saw them talking so attentively as if they were learning a skill.

Su Mingyu asked curiously: "Brother, how did you learn your cooking skills?"

Zhang Yu answered wittily: "I met a great chef in America, and I taught myself cooking while working and studying." His experience involved transitions between different worlds, so he seemed adept at telling such lies.

Chapter 12

Shi Tiandong asked anxiously: "Brother, do you have the chef's contact information? I have some cooking questions that I would like to ask you." He said in an urgent tone.

"That chef has passed away a long time ago, but he taught us all his skills. Just ask me if you have any questions," Zhang Yu responded with a smile.

Shi Tiandong was eager to try, but Su Mingyu held him back. "Today is the day I want to treat you to a meal, not the day to teach you a skill." Su Mingyu reminded him with a glare, looking a little helpless.

Shi Tiandong was a little shy, and Zhang Yu suggested: "Xiao Shi, add me on WeChat, and we can talk privately later." Then, Shi Tiandong quickly took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code to connect with Zhang Yu.

"Your sister is busy with work, so I'll leave her affairs to you from now on. Remember to take good care of her." Zhang Yu wrote in the message after confirming the friend addition.

Hearing this, Shi Tiandong replied firmly: "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely do my best to care for you."

However, Su Mingyu disagreed: "I'm not a child. I don't need anyone to take care of me." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

At this time, Zhang Yu said humorously: "Sometimes you really are a child!" This made the brother and sister laugh together.

It was a rare gathering, and without the two elders at home, Su Mingyu became much more relaxed. During the meal, Zhang Yu asked with concern: "I see that you are not in a good state. Have you encountered any difficult problems at work?"

Su Mingyu admitted that she had encountered difficulties recently: "The company has indeed encountered a lot of problems recently, but I can handle it myself. I will not give up my master's career easily."

Regarding Mingyu's question, Zhang Yu knew that she didn't like discussing such matters, but he still said affectionately: "Mingyu, you are my sister. If you really encounter difficulties, you must tell me in time. Although I don't have any great ability now, if money can solve the problem, it is not a problem."

Su Mingyu was quite moved by this and promised, "Brother, please rest assured. If I really can't get through this, I will naturally seek your help. But there is one thing I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

Seeing that Mingyu was hesitant to talk, Zhang Yu encouraged her, "There is no hiding between brothers and sisters, just say it." His smile was full of understanding and acceptance of a brother.

After thinking about it, Su Mingyu finally made up her mind: "Brother, I think Dad is a little too indulgent."

Zhang Yu guessed her thoughts and was not surprised: "Are you referring to the way Dad manages our family?"

Then, Su Mingyu expressed her concerns: "It's not that they are poor, but they may be too well-off. Since mother left, dad has been doing whatever he wants, causing Mingcheng a lot of trouble. When you take him to the Magic City to enjoy a good life, I'm afraid he will still be restless."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu nodded in agreement: "I understand this, and I have already made plans. Although the house was bought for Dad, it is now under my name. When he arrives in Shanghai, I will find a caregiver who can control him, just like my mother controls him."

Mingyu was a little surprised, "Is it okay to do this? But don't make dad angry or he'll run away from home."

In this regard, Zhang Yu was full of confidence, raised his mouth and said: "Now he can only rely on us three brothers and sisters. Mingcheng can't even support himself, and he still owes me more than one million! It's even more difficult for you to get along. I would rather he avoid you than let him affect our lives!"

Su Mingyu was stunned: "Are you planning to control our dad to prevent him from getting into trouble?" There was doubt in her words.

Seeing his brother's seriousness, Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Perhaps this is not quite appropriate. After all, I am only doing this for Dad's health and happiness. Even if the matter of buying a house is made public, I have a clear conscience. Children have the obligation to take care of their parents, but we are not indulging him. I understand this very well."

Mingyu nodded gently and agreed: "As long as big brother understands it in his heart, it's fine. I'm actually worried that you will spoil dad too much and you will be implicated."

Chapter 103 Zhang Yu smiled and said that everything should follow the principles of etiquette, and he would do his best to treat his father. Children have done everything they can, but if he still stirs up trouble, they might as well solve it thoroughly and see who will lose face in the end.

Su Mingyu seemed a little surprised: "Brother, please don't let anything happen to Dad!"

Zhang Yu raised the corners of his mouth and said confidently: "I know how to handle this. Don't worry when the time comes. Just don't feel bad for your dad."

……

The next day came in a flash. Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li spent the whole day shopping with Su Daqiang during their weekend break. They bought a lot of clothes, saying they were going to wear them. At night, Su Mingcheng arranged a grand party for Su Daqiang's colleagues at a high-end restaurant.

In front of these old friends, Su Daqiang showed off the Tianhai International brochure, asking everyone to share and marvel at its value. "My eldest son has become rich now, and he came back to spend his old age with me. He also bought something in Shanghai, with a total price of 20 million!" Su Daqiang said loudly. Then he added, "I told my eldest son not to spend money lavishly, but he just didn't listen. Instead, he said that the money should be used to buy things for the family. Alas."

Su Daqiang's old colleagues were shocked when they saw the high price in the brochure. Most of them were retired middle school teachers. Even Director Qian, who had a good income, could not afford to buy a house in Shanghai. They were inevitably jealous and some of them murmured, "If you are really filial, why don't you move to Su City to take care of you? I wonder what you are planning to do if you go to Shanghai."

Su Daqiang's face changed slightly, and he thought of the mansion where Wu Fei's parents lived. His mood became more complicated. At this time, Su Mingcheng immediately stood up and explained: "Brother took into account the superior medical resources in the Magic City. Even if Dad is unwell, it will be helpful to seek treatment from top doctors."

Su Daqiang quickly came to his senses: "Yes, the medical care in our Su City cannot be compared with that here. Director Qian, do you remember that the last time you were sick, you came all the way to Magic City for treatment? If you want to go there again in the future, you can always go to the hospital I recommended. It's only a ten-minute walk away!"

Facing Su Daqiang's attack, Director Qian was speechless. Nie Laijin, who was closest to Su Daqiang, saw this and quickly smoothed things over: "Old Su is really lucky to have three promising children. The eldest son has made a fortune in America, and the third son is a senior manager of a Su City enterprise with a bright future. Brother Su will definitely enjoy a lot in the future."

Everyone agreed and praised Zhang Yu and Su Mingyu to the utmost. Su Daqiang was overjoyed, thinking that his achievements in his later years were all thanks to his son. After all, in their eyes, the success of their children was enough to demonstrate their ability and pride as parents.

However, at this time, Zhu Li's face was not so relaxed, and no one else mentioned Su Mingcheng's good points. "Speaking of my eldest son, he never studied hard, and his academic performance was always the best. After graduation, he went abroad to study, worked part-time and did well in his studies, and even supported himself with living expenses, and even sent us US dollars. Although he has been far away for these years, he has never stopped supporting the family every month. Recently, he gave up all his careers and returned to China to buy a house and settle down, just to give me a better guarantee for my old age. You know, he has just been promoted to the youngest associate professor at Stanford University!" Speaking of excitement, Su Daqiang's pride gradually heated up.

Zhang Yu, who was preparing to fly to , suddenly received a message that he had completed the task. The prompt bar read: "Both parents worked hard to send their baby, and he graduated from Stanford University. He has become the pride of your parents. Please accept it. The task is completed and you will be rewarded with 1 speed attribute point." This made Zhang Yu's heart full of joy, because he finally got the recognition of Su Daqiang, became a son he was proud of, and completed the first system goal of his life.

The current Zhang Yu's attributes are as follows: Name: Zhang Yu (Su Mingzhe)

Age: 34

Power: 10

Speed: 8+1=3D9

Agility: 7

Constitution: 8

Spirit: 9

Life: 6

After more than ten years, the problem of the extremely selfish Su Daqiang was finally solved. During this period, Zhang Yu deliberately performed outstandingly, bought new cars and luxury houses to please him, and did everything according to his wishes. Now that the task has been completed, he no longer has any concerns about Su Daqiang and is ready to start a new stage.
