Lou Kai left satisfied.
The two of them were talking with the door closed, and the rest of the Su family were eavesdropping through the door, overhearing most of what they were saying.
As soon as Lou Kai left, the group of people at the door rushed in impatiently.
"Dad! Was what that person said true? He wasn't lying to us, was he?!" the eldest son, Su Chang'an, exclaimed excitedly.
The third brother, Su Changshun, pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "How could it be fake? That is indeed Lou Kai, the manager of Fanghua Restaurant. I met him when I went to Lan City before. Fanghua is one of the two largest restaurants in Lan City, and the people they serve are not ordinary people."
Su Changshun was a primary school teacher in the town. He was the most knowledgeable and experienced member of the Su family. Apart from his grandfather, almost no one dared to contradict him at home, and he was the most respected.
Sure enough, as soon as he said that, the Su family no longer doubted Lou Kai's identity.
Zhang Yu said urgently, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find Su Yan to write the formula now!"
That's twelve thousand!
Excluding the missing Su Changqing, their family can get four or five thousand yuan!
Four or five thousand yuan! This was something she never dared to dream of in her entire life!
As for Su Changcheng and the honest second son Su Changguo, she didn't take them seriously; she knew they would never get a share of the money.
She has Su Zhi, her precious son; maybe those two old folks will give her a little more money for this house!
Old Mrs. Su hurriedly urged, "Old man, let's go to Lijia Ping right now! That little slut Su Yan doesn't even want to make money. She's deliberately trying to ruin our family's life. How could the Su family have produced such a money-losing brat!"
Su Changcheng's face immediately turned red.
He was uneducated, but he knew the saying, "If a son is unfilial, it is the father's fault."
Su Yan's unfilial behavior is a result of her father's failure to raise her properly.
"Mother, I will definitely make her write down the recipe and give it to you!"
After saying that, Su Changcheng stormed out.
"Come back!" Old Master Su called out to him, saying irritably, "If she were really afraid of you as her father, she wouldn't have brought up the matter of you divorcing Li Juan in the first place, and she wouldn't have been kicked out when you went to Lijiaping to ask for meat last time!"
Su Changcheng lowered his head in shame and said, "It's all my fault as her father for not disciplining her properly."
That spineless nature.
Zhang Yu rolled her eyes in disdain. "What's the use of saying all this now? This matter can't be delayed, lest things get complicated."
"We have to delay it, even if we can't." Grandpa Su glared at Zhang Yu and reminded him, "Don't forget that the admission notice hasn't arrived yet. There are still two days left. Just bear with it for these two days and go ask for it later."
If the guesthouses in town weren't so expensive, costing five yuan a night, they wouldn't have come back home.
Zhang Yu was dissatisfied, but couldn't say anything.
My son's future is the most important thing. Anyway, there are still two days left, so I'll just have to bear with it.
Old Mrs. Su didn't want to delay, but when she heard about her grandson going to university, she shut up.
"So how will we divide the money after we get it?" Zhang Yu said, "Both of our children need to go to school, so we're under a lot of pressure. Mom, shouldn't you give our eldest son's family a little more?"
Old Mrs. Su glared at her, "Your father and I aren't even dead yet, and you're already eyeing our money! Let me tell you, your father and I will keep this money, and no one is allowed to touch it!"
“Su Zhi’s college expenses are huge!” Zhang Yu said anxiously. “His father and I are just scraping by at home, where would we get so much money for him?”
After saying that, she secretly stepped on her son's foot.
Su Zhi quickly chimed in, "Grandma, I heard that prices are higher in the south than here, and living expenses are definitely higher than at university here. If I find a girlfriend with good prospects over there, I can't be stingy, can I?"
Old Mrs. Su had always unconditionally doted on her grandson Su Zhi, so she hesitated when she heard him say that.
Su Changshun's eyes flickered slightly, and he interrupted in time, "It's too early for this. We'll talk about it later. Besides, we haven't even gotten the money yet, right?"
Zhang Yu pursed her lips but didn't refute him.
The third brother is a live-in son-in-law in town. His wife's family has some influence, and Ah Zhi might need their help in the future, so it's best not to offend them for now.
The Su family is all eyeing this money.
Even the honest and simple-minded second son, Su Changguo, would be lying if he said he didn't want it. It's a pity that his family doesn't have a son, otherwise his mother wouldn't look down on him so much.
Thinking about this, Su Changguo couldn't help but feel annoyed.
After everyone had left, Su Changshun waited for about five minutes before quietly going back into his parents' room and closing the door.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su happened to be talking about this matter, and they immediately stopped talking when they heard the noise.
"What are you doing, Third Brother?" Old Mrs. Su asked.
Her third son was also someone she was always proud of. He was handsome and taught in town. The only downside was that he became someone else's son-in-law, which made her feel ashamed, and gradually her affection for him faded.
If Su Zhi gets married in the future, she will absolutely not allow him to become a live-in son-in-law of a well-off girl.
Su Changshun also returned today, and he had classes in the afternoon, so he decided to finish quickly.
"Father, Mother, I want to borrow some money from you."
"What?" Old Mrs. Su stared at him wide-eyed, and said angrily, "You don't bring any money home every month, and you actually expect us to pay you? No way!"
Grandpa Su frowned and remained silent, but his meaning was quite clear.
"I'm using this for serious business," Su Changshun said urgently. "Our school's principal is about to retire, and his position will be vacant. Who gets the job depends on the principal's word. If I don't spend some money to visit the principal now, won't I just be handing the position over to someone else?"
"Then why don't you go find your wife?" Old Mrs. Su questioned.
Su Changshun choked, and said with difficulty, "Mother, the principal wants to collect a century-old ginseng. My father-in-law contributed some money, but Caili has spent all of my usual salary. I really had no other choice but to ask you for help."
Grandpa Su took a puff of his cigarette before frowning and asking, "How much do you want?"
Su Changshun's eyes flickered slightly, "Four thousand yuan, my father-in-law contributed three thousand."
"What?! Four thousand yuan?!" Old Mrs. Su's voice suddenly rose. "Was that ginseng inlaid with gold? It's so expensive!"
"Mother, this is the price for a century-old ginseng. I had to pull some strings to ask, otherwise it would be more expensive." Su Changshun lied without batting an eye.
Actually, he was still short a thousand yuan. He originally planned to ask for a thousand yuan when he came back, but after hearing about Lou Kai coming to buy the formula for Su cigarettes, he immediately changed his mind.
Old Mrs. Su flatly refused, "No! I don't have that much money. Go find your wife and make her return your salary! You became someone else's live-in son-in-law, what does that have to do with our family?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yue's flustered voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.
"Grandpa and Grandma! When I came back just now, I saw Su Yan and her maternal grandparents carrying things into their house in town!"
