Life in the world of film and television

Chapter 8 Conflict intensifies

After shopping for clothes and leaving the mall, Li Mu asked Mingyu to find a five-star hotel nearby, open a business suite, and put her luggage there.

He didn't want to be crowded with Su Daqiang at night.

……

Several people finished their lunch in the hotel restaurant and returned to Mingcheng's house.

Zhu Li was making coffee attentively beside her, and the sweet aroma of coffee was in the air, which was the aroma of freshly ground and freshly brewed coffee.

With such a petty bourgeois sentiment, it can be seen that Ming Cheng's family is really living a good life.

Several people were drinking coffee, only Su Daqiang looked at the newly bought clothes, looking left and right, his face full of joy.

Li Mu took a sip, and said to Mingcheng and his wife, "Julie, Mingcheng, Dad's underwear can only be worn after washing, do you need to spend some time?"

Mingcheng didn't say anything, but Julie said very straightforwardly: "Don't worry, brother, leave it to us."

Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."

As he said that, he took out two small gift boxes from the side, which he bought at the mall just now.

"Mingcheng and Zhu Li, they came back in a hurry and didn't have any preparations, so we simply chose a gift, and you guys can see if you like it."

The two were stunned for a moment, then declined a little, but seeing Li Mu's firm attitude, they accepted it.

When they opened it, they turned out to be a pair of Jaeger-LeCoultre watches for a couple. Zhu Li and Mingcheng's eyes immediately brightened. As moonlight clansmen, they were quite petty bourgeois, and would buy some light luxury items when they were rich.

The pair of couple watches, the two have seen many times in the mall, like it or not, the price is too expensive, a pair adds up to more than 8.

For the two moonlight families who need their parents to help them from time to time, they can only be greedy when they can afford it.

For this reason, Zhu Li also posted a few circles of friends, regretting a few times.

I never thought that my eldest brother would buy it as a gift for them today. Could it be that I saw the circle of friends she posted before.

In any case, the two were extremely happy at this moment.

Seeing that they like it so much, Li Mu is also in a good mood. In order to complete the task, no matter how to reform and attack Su Mingcheng in the future, the necessary etiquette is still required.

Whether it is to slap a jujube again, or to be sweet first and then bitter, maintaining a good relationship on the surface is conducive to follow-up actions.

……

Now that Zao was given, the next step is to make them feel uncomfortable, especially Mingcheng, who is not subject to setbacks and suffers a lot, so it is difficult for him to change.

……

Afterwards, Li Mu began to inquire about Su's mother's funeral arrangements, which Mingyu found someone to arrange, and it was also paid for by her.

Just buying the cemetery cost more than 20 yuan, plus other expenses, the total was 40 yuan.

Li Mu whispered in his heart that modern people not only cannot afford a house while they are alive, they may also not be able to afford a cemetery after death.

I can't afford to live, and I can't afford to die even more!
……

After hearing Mingyu finished speaking, Li Mu glanced at the few people in the room, but they didn't speak, especially Mingcheng, with the corner of his mouth curled up, as if he disdained Mingyu's words, and he didn't want to speak.

It seems that Mingyu bears all the expenses of Su's mother's funeral, which has nothing to do with him.

He was the one whom Su's mother loved the most and spent the most money in the family when Su's mother was alive.

Li Mu took a breath and started to create disputes.

"Mingyu, Mom has several children, and you can't pay the money alone. As the eldest son in the family, let me do it."

Mingyu refused: "Brother, no need, I'll come!"

……

The two shied away a few times, and both rushed to bear the expenses of Su's mother's funeral, which made Mingcheng and Zhu Li next to him feel extremely embarrassed. They were the ones Su's mother loved the most when she was alive, and they also spent the most money in the family. He was watching from the sidelines.

Su Mingcheng can keep silent, but Zhu Li is more face-saving and reasonable.Coupled with the fact that I just received such an expensive gift from my elder brother, even though I knew that my family didn't have much savings, I couldn't help but speak at this time.

"Big brother and Mingyu are both mother's children. Mother was so kind to us when she was alive, so we have to pay for her funeral."

As soon as Zhu Li's words fell, Li Mu and Mingyu hadn't expressed anything yet, but Mingcheng was anxious and interrupted quickly.

"Brother, since Mingyu has already paid the money and arranged the funeral, let Mingyu take care of it."

"As my mother's child, raising her so big, shouldn't I spend some money on my mother!"

What he said made the people around him dumbfounded, and even Zhu Li looked at her husband next to her in surprise.

Mingyu is not the one who suffers, and she is willing to bear all the expenses. First, she wants to do her part;

Unexpectedly, Su Mingcheng was confident, he was the least qualified person to say that.

He smiled coldly at the moment: "Su Mingcheng, where all the family money has gone these years, don't you know?"

"Look at Dad's clothes. There are a few new ones. Mom and Dad save money. Where did the money go? Could it be eaten by dogs?"

"Say these words, are you worthy?"

Su Mingcheng became angry immediately, pointed at Mingyu and shouted loudly: "You deserve it, isn't it just a few bad money? What's the big deal."

Su Mingyu's face remained unchanged, she spread her hands, and said in a cold tone: "I just have some filthy money! It's a pity that you don't have any. You only know how to gnaw on the old and ask for it from your family. If you have the ability, you can give some filthy money. "

"You don't even want to pay for your mother's funeral!"

Su Mingcheng's face was flushed red, bursting with anger, he stood up suddenly, and was about to attack Mingyu.

He was stopped by Li Mu and Zhu Li, so he gave up.

Pointing at Mingyu, he said angrily: "Su Mingyu, I spent some of my family's money, didn't you spend it?"

"There are a few children in the family, who didn't spend the family's money, why did I get old, you saw that I spent the family's money, and you have to speak with evidence."

With a hint of anger in Mingyu's eyes, she said coldly, "Since you want evidence, then I'll show you the evidence."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Su Daqiang.

"Dad, where's your account book! Didn't you bring it with you just now? Show him, who is the real gnawing old man, sucking the family's blood."

Su Daqiang was a little frightened, looked around cautiously, saw everyone was staring at him, and immediately lowered his head obediently to open his bag and look for the ledger.

As a stack of ledgers were taken out, Su Mingcheng seemed a little frustrated, pointed at Su Daqiang and said, "Dad, you are capable, you really keep accounts, mom knows!"

Su Daqiang shrank his neck and became more silent.
