Chapter 10 Chapter 10
In fact, Su Youzi was already mentally prepared - after all, her new dress was really beautiful, and it was obviously a high-end item worth a lot of money. It was reasonable for her family to be surprised by this.
She had already thought of a perfect way to deal with it.
However, when she saw the sharp and insightful looks in her family members' eyes, she couldn't help but feel guilty.
But Su Youzi always maintains the highest level of relaxation in front of his mother Tian Xiu.
She couldn't suppress the smug smile leaking out from the corner of her mouth, and she pulled the hem of her skirt and said in a pretentious manner: "Why are you looking at me like that?" But she couldn't extinguish the desire to show off, so she rushed to Tian Xiu with a smile, and turned around, letting her beautiful skirt fly high...
"Mom, look! Does my skirt look good?" Su Youzi asked happily.
Tian Xiu frowned and stared at Su Youzi, "Where did this skirt come from?"
On one side was the more than 360 yuan that the second brother had lost.
On one side is the eldest daughter's new dress, which is tailored, draped, and looks like a high-end product...
Even though Tian Xiu was unwilling to believe that the second brother's money was most likely used secretly by the eldest brother to buy the dress,
But the connection between these two established facts is too close!
Su Youzi had already thought of a solution, and said happily and shyly: "Tan Weiming gave it to me!"
As soon as these words came out——
The faces of the family members all changed.
Su Tianli thought: Tan Weiming? This name looks so familiar!
But she had left Guangzhou for a long time and couldn't remember who this person was.
Tian Xiu was stunned, "Tan Weiming? Are you two together?" Otherwise, how could he give you such an expensive dress?
Su Dejun looked incredulous, "Did he rob a bank? How could he have the money to give you such an expensive dress?"
Su Tiancai was also extremely shocked. "Sister! What are you talking about? Why would Brother Ming give you such an expensive skirt? Does he want to pursue you? This is impossible, right?"
Su Youzi was unhappy and glared at Su Tiancai, "What's impossible?"
Su Dejun couldn't help it, "Because you are seven years older than Tan Weiming! If you were only one or two years older than him, or two or three years older, I wouldn't say anything... You tell me yourself, you are already 25, and Tan Weiming is only 18! How could he possibly pursue you and give you such an expensive dress? Even if he wanted to, his parents wouldn't agree!"
Su Youzi was even more unhappy. "I'm not that much older than him... at most I'm only six years older than him! And I'm not twenty-five, I'm only twenty-four!"
Su Dejun, "Is it your birthday today? Will you be twenty-five after today?"
When Su Youzi heard this, his lips flattened, "Mom! Mom, look at Dad. He insisted on saying I was old on my birthday today!"
At this point, Su Tianli finally remembered who Tan Weiming was.
——He is the childhood sweetheart of the third sister Su Qianzi!
Just like the relationship between Su Tianli and Yao Meiyu,
Su Qianzi and Tan Weiming were in the same class since kindergarten, all the way to elementary school and junior high school...
So we have always been very good friends.
However, Su Qianzi went to the countryside when she graduated from junior high school.
so? ? ?
After Su Qianzi went to the countryside to join the production team, Tan Weiming and Su Youzi became together?
Su Tianli found it unbelievable.
Su Tiancai, who was standing by, was extremely anxious. "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! When I met Brother Ming this afternoon, he asked me if I had received any letters from my third sister recently! In short, it is absolutely impossible that he is pursuing my eldest sister!"
Su Youzi showed an embarrassed look on his face, but he quickly suppressed it and rolled his eyes at Su Tiancai, "You are just a child, you don't understand adult matters at all!"
Tian Xiu frowned and asked, "Youzi, tell me honestly, what's going on with this skirt of yours? Was it really given to you by Xiao Tan? Or did you buy it yourself?"
Su Youzi began to talk about other things, "I am also very beautiful! How can this skirt... not be a gift from my suitor?"
"Oh, by the way, Mom! Why are you eating now? It's already past eight o'clock. Are you eating braised pork again?"
"Mom! Today is my birthday! I didn't even have enough to eat at noon, why did you eat braised pork in the evening without telling me?" Su Youzi started to make a fuss, trying to divert everyone's attention.
Su Dejun is extremely annoyed now.
He didn't want to play dumb with Su Youzi at all, so he went straight to the point, "Boss, the second brother's money is missing, did you take it?"
Su Youzi's expression changed instantly, "Dad, do you doubt me?"
When Su Dejun thought about how his boss had first embezzled 600 yuan in remittance and now embezzled 300 yuan in cash... he became extremely annoyed and even regarded Su Youzi as his enemy!
So Su Dejun began to reason:
"The second oldest came back at noon, and she went to sleep after lunch! The fourth oldest was the first to leave home, and I was the second to leave. Then your mother and you were the only ones left at home."
"The second one has been sleeping the whole time. She was still sleeping when we got back from get off work this afternoon!"
"So! If the second brother's money was lost, it could only be you and your mother who took it!"
"Your mother can't possibly take the second child's things..."
"It's you!" Su Dejun glared at Su Youzi angrily and shouted, "It was you who took Lao Er's money!"
"I didn't take it!" Su Youzi's face flushed and she screamed, "I definitely didn't take it! I guarantee it with my life! If I had taken it, then, then..."
At the critical moment, Su Youzi felt that she had to say some harsh words to clear her suspicion.
Then I thought, it's impossible for any supernatural event to happen anyway, so what's the point of swearing a vow? It won't come true.
So she made up her mind, "...I will be struck by lightning!"
Sure enough, upon hearing Su Youzi's oath,
The whole family was silent.
Tian Xiu looked at Su Tianli and said cautiously, "Second brother, did you remember the wrong place to hide the money?"
Su Dejun said anxiously, "Yes, yes, yes, is it hidden on your body? For example, in your socks or... in your shoes? Or, under your pillow? Sister, think about it carefully! It's so much money, don't joke around."
Su Tianli handed the bag directly to Su Dejun, "Dad, come and help me find it!"
"As for under the pillow or in the shoes... I'll have to look for it."
"I won't hide money on me," Su Tianli said seriously, "because this is my home, my family members are not thieves, I don't need to be on guard against the people closest to me."
As soon as these words came out——
Su Dejun, Tian Xiu and Su Tiancai were all silent.
Everyone looked at Su Youzi in unison.
Su Youzi didn't even dare to look Su Tianli in the eye!
She felt extremely guilty, her face flushed red. Seeing her family members staring at her, she stiffened her neck and shouted, "Why are you looking at me? Do you think I took it? Or do you think I'm a thief?"
Su Tiancai said in a low voice: "But you embezzled the money sent back by my second sister before... This is an ironclad fact."
Su Youzi was so angry that he asked, "Old Four, can you say that again?"
Su Tiancai was not convinced. "How many times do you care what I say? Do you think you can let go of the fact that you embezzled the money that my second sister sent home? Can you really deceive yourself and pretend that this never happened?"
"Old Four, do you want to die?" Su Youzi was so angry that he was shaking all over.
Tian Xiu had a splitting headache from the noise, "Alright, alright, stop arguing!"
Then she said to Su Dejun: "Help Lao Er check his luggage to see if it was accidentally stuffed somewhere..."
"Old Four, go check under your sister's bed to see if she accidentally fell under the bed."
As he spoke, Tian Xiu walked to the door and was about to bend down to check Su Tianli's shoes...
only--
As Tian Xiu just walked to the door, he heard the sound of "bang bang bang" on the door.
A familiar voice faintly sounded outside, "Is Ah Cai home?"
Oh, you are here to find Su Tiancai!
Tian Xiu didn't think too much about it. He first shouted into the house, "Someone is looking for Lao Si," and then opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Tian Xiu was stunned and subconsciously called out the name of the person who came out, "A Ming?!"
Yes, the person who came was Tan Weiming.
Tan Weiming was standing at the door carrying a net bag of apples. When he saw the Su family, he greeted them one by one, "Hello Uncle Su, Hello Aunt Tian, Hello Big Sister, Ah Cai..."
Finally, Tan Weiming looked at Su Tianli, who looked very unfamiliar but gave him a very familiar feeling. After a moment of hesitation, he shouted in surprise: "Second sister? You are really back!"
Su Tianli stood there without moving.
Uh, how should I put it?
She was frightened by Tan Weiming's enthusiasm.
You know, before she went to the countryside, her relationship with Tan Weiming was very ordinary.
After all, she is two or three years older than Tan Weiming and Su Qianzi...
The most cordial and friendly relationship between her and Tan Weiming was that when they met, Tan Weiming would follow Su Qianzi and call her "Second Sister", and that was all.
Now?
Why is Tan Weiming so enthusiastic about her?
Su Tiancai, who was standing by, whispered to Su Tianli:
"Second sister, Brother Ming and Third sister are still very close... Brother Ming writes to Third sister every day, and then he saves them up into a thick letter every week and sends it to Third sister..."
"I met Brother Ming this afternoon. He asked me if you were back. I said yes... He said he would come to see you in the evening and talk to you, and then he could write a letter to tell Third Sister the good news."
Su Tianli suddenly realized.
That's why!
This is normal.
but--
Su Tianli glanced at A-di and wondered why A-di didn't say that Tan Weiming would come tonight when Su Youzi blamed the skirt incident on Tan Weiming?
If my brother said,
I guess Su Youzi won’t dare to be so arrogant anymore, right?
Su Tianli smiled and did not reveal A'di's little thoughts.
"Ah Ming, come in and sit down!" Su Tianli greeted Tan Weiming generously, "...Wow, I haven't seen you for a few years, Ah Ming has become a handsome guy!"
Tan Weiming felt a little embarrassed and walked into the house carrying the bag of apples. "Second sister, I haven't heard from you in the past few years. Where have you been..."
Su Youzi was shocked when he saw Tan Weiming appearing out of nowhere!
In fact, she thought about it for a long time before deciding to say that this skirt was bought by Tan Weiming as a gift for her.
Because she knew that in the eyes of his parents and family, Tan Weiming had already become half a son-in-law of the Su family - he and Su Qianzi had been childhood sweethearts and in love with each other, and everyone knew it.
Therefore, as long as she said this, her parents would definitely not make it public in order to protect their family's reputation.
As long as the family members keep quiet, this matter will be over!
Even family members will keep silent about it!
But who would have thought that Tan Weiming would suddenly appear at this critical juncture?
Su Youzi was shocked and angry. He rushed over and pushed Tan Weiming hard, saying anxiously, "Aming, get out first! No, you go back first... We have something going on at home now and we don't have time to entertain you! We can talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to say..."
Tan Weiming didn't expect Su Youzi to suddenly rush over and attack him.
Su Youzi was anxious and afraid, so he pushed Tan Weiming with great force.
But before that, Tian Xiu, who was standing at the door, saw Tan Weiming had walked in, so she closed the door naturally.
As a result, the defenseless Tan Weiming was hit hard against the door panel, making a loud "bang" sound.
Tan Weiming was stunned and had no idea what was going on.
The Su family was also stunned.
Everyone could see that Su Youzi was feeling guilty.
Su Dejun asked Tan Weiming bluntly, "...A Ming, let me ask you."
"Dad!" Su Youzi asked anxiously, "Can you please give me some face?"
Tan Weiming was totally confused.
He looked at Su Youzi, then at Su Dejun, and asked blankly, "What's going on? What happened?"
Su Youzi said with a trembling voice: "It's okay, go! Go quickly!"
After saying that——
As soon as she opened the door and was about to push Tan Weiming out,
Suddenly, Su Dejun asked word by word, "Ah Ming, did you buy this dress that your sister Youzi is wearing and give it to her?"
Su Youzi was stunned.
She looked at Su Dejun, almost crying: "Dad! Do you have to do this?"
Su Dejun was so angry!
"It's just a matter of one sentence...what's the embarrassment about it?" Su Dejun said.
Then he asked Tan Weiming again, "Ah Ming, did you really buy the skirt that your sister Youzi is wearing? How much did you spend? Haven't you always been very close to my third child? Why did you suddenly buy a skirt... not for the third child, but for the third child's eldest sister?"
Tan Weiming was already stunned when Su Dejun asked the question for the first time.
He knew what Uncle Su was asking.
But he didn't understand why Uncle Su asked such a question...
Please!
Not to mention that he has no money to buy a skirt.
Even if I bought it, I couldn't possibly give it to Su Youzi!
Su Youzi said anxiously: "A Ming, go! Go!"
Tan Weiming stared at Su Youzi blankly.
Although he didn't understand what was going on, he realized that he had to answer the questions raised by Uncle Su today.
Otherwise, he won’t be able to explain himself to Qianzi in the future!
Tan Weiming answered seriously: "Uncle Su, I have never seen the dress that elder sister is wearing."
"This skirt looks very expensive. I don't have money and I don't know where to buy it..."
"Uncle Su, I haven't met my eldest sister all day, and I don't understand the question you asked me. I came to your house today to ask about my second sister's recent situation and write a letter to tell Qianzi."
"Because Qianzi has always been concerned about the whereabouts of my second sister." Tan Weiming said truthfully.
Now, everyone's attention was once again focused on Su Youzi.
Su Youzi was so ashamed that he felt he had no face to show.
Su Tianli smiled slightly.
