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

After eating a while of plain noodles, Su Daqiang couldn't stand the hunger any more, so he called his friend Lao Nie for help.

"Old Nie, can you lend me some money? I will pay you back when my pension comes in." Su Daqiang pleaded.

Old Nie was very surprised: "Old Su, what's wrong? What happened? Are the children okay?"

Facing the question, Su Daqiang did not want to reveal too much personal information, so he answered: "The children blame me for being too impulsive in investment and are angry with me."

Old Nie said guiltily: "It's all my fault. I advised you not to listen to financial management advice. Otherwise, you wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss."

"Okay, I'm not blaming you. Just lend me some. I'm so hungry that I can't stand it anymore." Su Daqiang touched his stomach, feeling extremely hungry.

"I also suffered some losses, but fortunately the children did not blame me and gave me some money. It's not much, about 700 or 800 yuan, so I can lend it to you." Old Nie agreed.

"Okay, let's meet at the teahouse later."

"Can."

After hanging up the phone, Su Daqiang hurriedly got ready to go out. However, when he opened the door, he found Zhao Dabao blocking the door with a sullen face.

Su Daqiang was so scared that he quickly closed the door, but Zhao Dabao kicked it open.

“What do you want to do?!” Su Daqiang kept backing away, finally retreating to the end of the courtyard.

Zhao Dabao sneered and stepped into the courtyard, "Su Daqiang, I'm telling you, this is not over yet!"

When Su Mingcheng was already busy in the office, he answered the phone and found that it was Su Daqiang calling. He hung up immediately. A few minutes later, the phone rang again and again until he blocked the number three times.

Soon the phone rang again, this time it was my uncle Zhao Dabao calling.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Mingcheng answered the phone.

"Mingcheng, come and save me! Your uncle wants to kill me!" Su Daqiang's terrified voice came from the other end of the phone.

Su Mingcheng checked the caller ID and confirmed that it was Zhao Dabao. He asked in confusion: "Su Daqiang, what are you doing?"

Zhao Dabao's voice interrupted Su Daqiang during the call, and then he said, "Mingcheng, please come to our Su residence. There are some things that need to be resolved. You must be present today."

Su Mingcheng asked in confusion: "Uncle, what is your purpose?"

"Because your sister was killed by Su Daqiang, today the Su family must compensate the Zhao family." Zhao Dabao was firm in his attitude.

Su Mingcheng was speechless about Zhao Dabao's idea: "If you want compensation, why did you call me? If Su Daqiang has no money, just say he has no money. Why do you want to ask me? How can I compensate him?"

"I don't care. What I want is justice and compensation. The Su family must be held responsible for my sister's death." Zhao Dabao was arrogant and unreasonable.

After listening, Su Mingcheng hung up the phone unceremoniously. Looking at Zhao Dabao's angry eyes, he knew that trouble was coming.

"What are you doing? Doesn't your son care about you anymore?" Zhao Dabao asked the silent Su Daqiang.

At this time, Su Daqiang explained with a sad face: "After that incident, Mingzhe and Mingcheng no longer interacted with me, so I moved back to my hometown."

This made Zhao Dabao even more furious, and he called Zhang Yu again, asking for money again.

However, Zhang Yu responded directly: "Uncle, you go to Su Daqiang to collect the debt, don't involve me."

This conversation made Zhao Dabao furious. He almost threw his phone away, and his gaze at Su Daqiang became more and more dangerous. Su Daqiang instinctively shrank into the corner to avoid it.

Zhao Dabao pointed at Su Daqiang and asked, "Where's Su Mingyu's phone number? Call him and ask for the money!"

"I tried, but she didn't answer. Mingyu is usually busy with work and often doesn't answer my calls." Su Daqiang said timidly, seeming a little aggrieved.

Zhao Dabao was furious when he heard this, and he wanted to kick Su Daqiang away: "You have three children, but they don't help you!"

After hearing what Zhao Dabao said, Su Daqiang felt helpless. The children all distanced themselves from him after the incident was exposed, which made Su Daqiang feel very aggrieved.

"I don't count on them anymore. You have to compensate for the loss!" Zhao Dabao grabbed Su Daqiang by the collar and shouted angrily, "I want you to pay me back now!"

"I have no money left. I lost all my investment in financial management." Su Daqiang looked bitter, almost begging, "Even if you strangle me, I will have no money in my pocket."

Zhao Dabao threw Su Daqiang to the ground in anger and said, "If you have no other choice, then pay with your life!"

Then, Zhao Dabao took out a shiny sharp knife and pointed it at Su Daqiang. This time, Su Daqiang saw the sharp blade clearly, and fear rose from the bottom of his heart, even his pants were a little wet.

After taking the phone, Zhao Dabao handed it to Su Daqiang, "Quick, call Mingcheng! Ask him to help you."

Su Daqiang summoned up his courage and called Su Mingcheng again, choking with sobs, "Mingcheng, you have to save me. Your uncle is coming to you with a knife. He wants to... to kill me..."

But Su Mingcheng responded angrily: "If he has the guts, just do it. It will also help his mother vent her anger."

Su Daqiang yelled: "You owe me more than one million! Do you remember this debt?" He tried to use debt as his last weapon.

Su Mingcheng suppressed his anger and said, "I owe that money to my eldest brother, not to you. He saved it for his retirement!" His words were full of dissatisfaction.

Facing these accusations, Su Daqiang wept and said, "But that is the pension money I deserve. My eldest brother said he would pay it back for me! That is our money, and now that my mother is gone, it is even more mine."

"Don't dream. This money is your family's pension. Do you think you have the nerve to take it?" Su Mingcheng asked without showing any weakness.

At this time, Su Daqiang was desperate: "I don't care about you, this is what I deserve, I want to get it. Otherwise, I will sue you in court." As he spoke, his tone was full of stubbornness.

Hearing this, Su Mingcheng's face trembled with anger, and for the first time he realized how unreasonable Su Daqiang was. "You can sue as much as you want, the police won't care about you." After saying that, he hung up the phone angrily.

Seeing Zhao Dabao approaching step by step, Su Daqiang quickly changed his words: "I want to ask Mingcheng's wife for money." As he said that, he hurriedly called Zhu Li to collect the debt.

Compared with the impatient Zhao Dabao, Zhu Li is different from Mingcheng, but she is also quite strong-willed. She originally had a rift with Su Daqiang, but now she understands Su Daqiang's situation and promises to repay the debt, but it will take time to raise the money.

Zhao Dabao refused to let go and forced Su Daqiang to write a promissory note of 500,000 yuan before leaving with satisfaction. Su Daqiang was sad alone inside the door, feeling as if the whole world was against him.

Later, neighbor Lao Nie came to visit unexpectedly and found Su Daqiang sitting in the corner of the yard crying. He asked him in panic why he was like that. Su Daqiang looked up at his old friend and told him everything.

Su Daqiang was emotional after telling how his children had abandoned him and watched him get beaten but ignored it. But during the narration, Su Daqiang chose to remain silent about the real reason why the three siblings changed their attitudes.

Old Nie did not understand this and mistakenly thought that the three of them were unwilling to assume the responsibility of support. In a rage, he promised to seek justice for Su Daqiang.

When Su Mingcheng returned home, he was surprised to see his wife Zhu Li had arrived home earlier than him. He couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Why did you come back so early today?"

Sitting in the living room, Zhu Li looked gloomy. Su Mingcheng noticed that the atmosphere was not right and walked over to ask:

"What's wrong? What's bothering you at work? Who's making you feel bad?"

Julie snorted contemptuously: "Did you tell Dad that he doesn't have to pay back the money?"

Su Mingcheng understood after hearing this, and his expression gradually became serious: "Did he tell you?"

"You don't need to care what your father says to me. I just want to ask you, have you decided not to pay back the money?" Julie said firmly.

Su Mingcheng was dissatisfied: "Why should I pay him back? Don't you know what he did to my mother?"

"That's another matter. Besides, the police have already said that it was an accident and had nothing to do with him directly." Julie came to explain.

"But this indirectly killed my mother." Su Mingcheng retorted emotionally.

"Su Mingcheng, I think you are trying to avoid the problem and use this as an excuse to stir up trouble." Zhu Li said sternly.

"Are you saying that I'm cheating? I clearly borrowed that money from my eldest brother. I have the IOU. I won't owe him a penny." Su Mingcheng said in a firm tone.

Zhu Li was so angry that she couldn't even breathe steadily: "Su Mingcheng, if you have dignity, I also have dignity. I must return this money to my father!"

"Where do you get the money to pay back now? How can we get such funds? Are you thinking of selling the house with the money from selling the car?" Su Mingcheng asked.

"Yes, I just want to sell the house. I'm buying it to use for my parents' retirement money. I don't want it." Julie said resolutely.

"Are you crazy?" Su Mingcheng looked at her in surprise.

Zhu Li was furious: "Su Mingcheng, how dare you talk to me like that!"

"Lili, why are you so insistent on paying back the money?" Su Mingcheng asked in confusion.

"Su Mingcheng, I have to have some dignity. I don't want people to point at me and call me a gigolo." Zhu Li responded proudly.

"What is a gigolo? The money for the house and the car was all paid by my mother. I have not done anything illegal, so how can I be considered a parasite?" Su Mingcheng shook his head and argued.

Julie said firmly: "Are you going to let our family fall apart just because of this little bit of vanity? We want to create a home by ourselves, without having to rely on our parents."

Zhang Yu was suspicious: "Hello, I'm Su Mingzhe. Are we familiar with each other? How did you know my phone number?"

"The specific reason is that your father, Mr. Su Daqiang, participated in a talk show produced by us, where we planned to openly discuss the elderly care issues." The voice of explanation came.

Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and then he inquired in detail, and then he knew what Su Daqiang was doing this time! This talk show on Su City TV is a program that focuses on contemporary hot topics, and occasionally invites ordinary citizens to discuss some trivial but socially resonant topics.

Originally, Zhang Yu had not expected that Su Daqiang would take the initiative to come to the TV station to complain to his children and accuse them of failing to provide support.

Ma Changhua contacted Zhang Yu and invited him to appear on the show and debate face to face with Su Daqiang in order to increase the attention of the show.

Although Zhang Yu was reluctant to go, he was also afraid that Su Daqiang's lies in front of the camera might have a negative impact on Wu Fei and the child, so he only vaguely promised to consider it.

After ending the call, Zhang Yu immediately called Su Mingyu.

"Mingyu, did you know that your father was on TV?"

"Dad was on TV? What happened? I've been focusing on company affairs recently and don't care much about his news!" Su Mingyu responded in surprise.

After taking a few deep breaths, Zhang Yu said, "He was on a show called Modern Focus."

"I've heard of that program, which is dedicated to exposing family secrets and attracting attention. The ratings in Su City are pretty good." Su Mingyu added.

Then he suggested: "In your free time, we can go to Dad to talk about this problem together. I'll call Su Mingcheng as well later."

After a brief silence, Su Mingyu seemed to check her schedule, and finally said, "I'm free tonight."

"Okay, I'll drive over right now and we'll meet at the old house," Zhang Yu arranged.

After making arrangements for Su Mingyu, he contacted Su Mingcheng again, but it took a long time for the call to respond.

"Brother, are you looking for me?" Mingcheng responded.
