Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Melon after Melon (Part 2)
Before going home, Su Tianli was still wondering if she would come back empty-handed. What if Su Dejun had gone out to work?
On second thought——
Based on her understanding of Su Dejun, he probably wouldn't go.
One is because it is too embarrassing.
One reason is that his job is actually to be a cleaner, and the factory area is not too dirty, so it is not a big problem to clean it every two or three days.
Sure enough, when Su Tianli returned home, Su Dejun was sitting on the sofa in a daze.
As soon as she entered the house,
Su Dejun's gaze immediately followed.
When he found out that the person coming was Su Tianli, the light in Su Dejun's eyes gradually dimmed.
Su Tianli washed her hands, took out two porcelain cups, put some tea leaves in them and poured in boiling water, then handed one to Su Dejun, and she took one.
"Dad, can't bear to leave my mom?" Su Tianli asked.
Su Dejun's eyes were red. "She and I... have been married for more than 20 years!"
"We were on a blind date at that time, and she fell in love with me at first sight!"
This was what Su Dejun was most proud of at the time.
After all, no girl had ever favored him before.
When he was in his hometown, he had been eager to pursue several girls, but they all thought he was poor...
Tian Xiu was the first woman who didn't care whether he had money or not.
“I didn’t expect her…”
Who would have thought that she fell in love with him and insisted on marrying him... just to cover up her pregnancy that was caused by someone else!
"And that wild man is an old man!"
He is young, strong, handsome, and considerate...
How on earth is he inferior to that old man? !
Su Dejun collapsed, "How could she do this!"
"Like a dog...she follows when people wave at her!"
Su Tianli advised at the right time: "Dad, you have to be more open-minded. I heard that the old man is a high-ranking official."
Su Dejun was stunned.
He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, and then he slapped him on the forehead.
Next, Su Tianli began to learn Tian Xiu’s PUA techniques.
The first thing is to acknowledge the other person’s point of view, right?
"Dad, I know you treat Mom very well. In my opinion, you and Mom have been together for so many years, and you have always spoiled her and pampered her..."
"Let me be frank. If my mother leaves you, she will never find a man who treats her better and loves her more than you do!"
As Su Tianli spoke, Su Dejun nodded frantically.
Su Tianli held back her laughter.
I thought that according to Tian Xiu's training routine, it would be necessary to introduce other people's opinions and create a turning point.
"But Dad, do you know what I think?"
Su Dejun asked in confusion: "Why?"
Su Tianli said: "I am your and mom's child, I respect and love you both... equally."
"But I still feel that between you and mom, you have given too much. But because you don't like to talk and are not good at expressing yourself...my mom loves to talk and do things, so it seems that you are like a boss who does nothing. All the good reputation of supporting the family and taking care of the family has fallen to my mom."
These words made Su Dejun's brows relax.
Su Tianli continued, "And... Dad, your love for my mom doesn't match my mom's love for you."
"Look, you've been devoted to my mom, and you've been unreserved over the years."
"But what about her? The reason why she chose you was based on deceiving you..."
Su Dejun's face turned pale in an instant.
Su Tianli looked at Su Dejun's transformation with satisfaction, thinking that the next stage would be the "guidance" step.
"So, Dad, given Mom's attachment to that old man, what are you going to do? What are the third and fourth children and I going to do?"
"That old man has money, he can sleep with my mom and live a good life."
"My eldest sister is the old man's child, so the old man must favor her..."
"Then we..."
Having said that, Su Tianli sighed sadly.
At this point, Su Dejun's expression turned from worry to anger.
Su Tianli smiled secretly in her heart.
Sure enough, between love and interests,
A sober person will choose benefits.
Besides, does Su Dejun really love Tian Xiu...?
If she really loved him, then what about the middle-aged woman named Yu that Su Tianli saw on the first day she returned to the city!
At this time, Su Dejun spoke up, "What should we do now?"
Su Tianli was very happy!
Since Su Dejun used the word "we", it proves that he is now standing on the opposite side of Tian Xiu.
This is a good thing.
Su Tianli said carefully, "Dad, let's try to figure out what life will be like without mom and big sister. No matter good or bad, let's talk about it all."
Su Dejun nodded.
Su Tianli said with resentment: "After my mother and elder sister are gone, no one will steal money anymore... This is a benefit."
Su Dejun was stunned at first, then agreed, "Yes!"
Su Tianli added: "Without my eldest sister, our family will no longer have a money-spending king. We can save a lot of money in the future!"
"As for the housework at home, I used to do it, but now it's the fourth child who does it. No matter whether mom and eldest sister are at home or not, they don't do it, so this has no impact."
"With two fewer people at home, the expenses will be much less..."
"These are all the benefits they get after leaving home."
Su Dejun nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.
"Now, let's reason about the disadvantages after mom and elder sister leave." Su Tianli said.
Su Dejun immediately opened his eyes wide and began to listen attentively.
Su Tianli said: "The most important thing is...my mother's salary!"
Su Dejun slapped his thigh excitedly, "Yes!"
Su Tianli said: "My mother earns 60 yuan a month, and most of the family expenses are paid by her. For example, the meat dishes every day..."
Su Dejun, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Su Tianli, "She also buys clothes for you and the fourth brother every month!"
"She paid for your medical treatment and medicine."
"She was the one who paid for the fourth child's schooling."
"She was the one who gave the money for the personal favors in the company."
…
Su Tianli's words made Su Dejun gradually silent.
Su Dejun began to feel something was wrong.
"The fourth child and I have almost never worn new clothes. I wore the work clothes issued by the company, and the fourth child wore my old clothes. A few years ago, the fourth child was still young and couldn't wear my shoes, so I spent money to buy him a few pairs of shoes..."
"I paid for my medical treatment and medicine myself."
"I paid for the fourth child's schooling."
"I also paid for the personal connections in the company..."
The more Su Dejun thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. "What about her money?"
Su Tianli added fuel to the fire just in time, "By the way, Dad, did the third child send money back?"
Su Dejun's eyes widened immediately. "The third brother sends twenty yuan back every month without fail!"
This time, he got angry. "So where does Tian Xiu's monthly salary of 64 yuan, plus Lao San's 20 yuan, go?"
As for this question, he actually knows the answer.
——All of it was used to support Su Youzi!
Su Dejun said angrily: "In fact, she only spends 20 cents to buy a meat dish in the cafeteria every day! Even if she buys it twice a day, it's only 40 cents, and 30 days a month only costs 12 yuan!"
So the remaining money...
Su Dejun felt distressed.
Su Tianli just smiled and said nothing.
When Su Dejun's face became extremely gloomy,
Su Tianli then said, "Dad, let's continue to plan our future life!"
This time, she didn't wait for Su Dejun's response, and took the initiative to speak, "Dad, your monthly salary is more than 40 yuan, and you have to spend more than 20 yuan on medical treatment and medicine...right?"
Su Dejun nodded, "Yes!"
This is the most important reason why he doesn't want Tian Xiu to leave.
They are husband and wife after all.
If he really has no money for medicine or medical treatment, Tian Xiu will indeed give him some money.
Su Tianli asked: "Dad, when you were injured, didn't your company give you work injury compensation?"
When talking about this, Su Dejun got angry. "Yes, it was given! We agreed at the time that there were two compensation plans. One was a one-time compensation of 600 yuan, and no compensation would be given in the future. The other was 15 yuan per month for three consecutive years."
"Everyone advised me to choose the second one, but your mother insisted that I choose the first one."
"I listened to your mother and signed an agreement with the company, saying that I would no longer ask the company for treatment funds. The company also paid the money very happily. As a result, as soon as the money was received, your mother bought Su Youzi a few dresses..."
Su Tianli said "carelessly": "So that's how it is! In other words, after my mother and my eldest sister have spent all your medical expenses, they won't care whether you live or die!"
"Now they are still blaming you, thinking that you have to spend so much money on medical expenses every month, and that you are a burden and a nuisance to the family!"
"Why don't they think about why Dad got hurt—"
Hearing this, Su Dejun felt a little guilty.
because--
He injured his lumbar spine because he operated in violation of regulations.
At that time, the unit treated him without reservation.
But a meeting was also held to criticize him.
However, Su Tianli can still find Su Dejun's shining points from this mess.
"Dad! You're doing this for our family!" Su Tianli tried her best to fan the flames, "...There is no distinction between high and low in work, what matters is the temperature of labor, whether you are burning for our little family!"
Su Dejun was stunned.
It turns out that supporting a family can have such a nice sounding term?
Su Dejun straightened his chest unconsciously.
Su Tianli asked again, "Dad, since we can't ask the company for money anymore, have you asked the union?"
Su Dejun was stunned.
Su Tianli, "We can ask the labor union of our workplace first. If the labor union doesn't care, we can go to the street office or the neighborhood committee. If that doesn't work, we can go to the municipal labor union... Even if we can't get the subsidy, as long as the labor union can help with the hospital's expenses, it can save you ten yuan a month... That's a lot of relief!"
Su Dejun's eyes lit up!
Su Tianli continued, "If you can save ten yuan a month, plus the twenty yuan that the third child sends back every month..."
"I already have a job now, but the salary as a temporary worker is too low... But I will find a way to pay for the fourth child's tuition!"
"As for daily living expenses, don't we have a vegetable garden at home? After mom and big sister are gone, the vegetables in the garden will be enough for you and the fourth child to eat on a regular basis."
"When the time comes, raise a few more chickens, and you two will be able to eat eggs every now and then..."
"As for meat dishes, they're easy to solve. Mom used to buy two meals a day, each costing 20 cents, for four people. From now on, you and the fourth child can buy one portion of meat dish a day, split it in half, and then go to the vegetable garden to pick some beans and green peppers. For lunch, you can have braised pork with beans, and for dinner, you can have pork cooked with green peppers! It won't cost much for just you and the fourth child!"
"As for retirement, don't be afraid... You're only in your forties! Heal your back injury, you still have a lot of life ahead of you!"
"Besides, Lao Si is your biological son, he must take care of you when you are old. And I am a nurse! You can go to my unit for medical treatment and medication from now on. I may not be able to reduce your medical expenses, but I can at least provide some convenience and ask the doctor to prescribe some cheap and effective medicine for you!"
Just like that, as Su Tianli clarified things bit by bit,
Su Dejun, who had been frowning just now, gradually became less confused and sad.
He even nodded repeatedly to show his approval, and thought to himself: It seems that parting with Tian Xiu is not such a painful thing.
Seeing that Su Dejun had been persuaded, Su Tianli prepared to make a final attempt to persuade him to leave:
"Dad, then—"
"If my mother really followed that man back to her hometown to see that old man..."
"Will others... laugh at you?" Su Tianli said cautiously.
Su Dejun, who just thought that life without Tian Xiu was not too bad, became gloomy again when he heard this.
Is there any need to ask?
People in the factory always thought he was a loser.
The reason why he didn't want Tian Xiu to go back to her hometown to see her old lover was,
First, he hated Tian Xiu for making him a scapegoat in the past, and now he wanted to cheat on him;
First, he was afraid that Tian Xiuzhen would run away and no one would serve him in the future;
But what he feared most was that people in the factory would laugh at him.
After all, he will stay in this factory forever...
You can't let people laugh at you all your life!
Su Tianli also pretended to be sad, "Dad, is there any way to make others stop laughing at you for being a loser?"
Su Dejun's mood became even worse.
My wife is determined to run away.
Others are determined to laugh.
What can he do!!!
Su Tianli asked again: "Dad, can you stop Mom from leaving?"
Su Dejun was so angry that he looked up at the ceiling.
If he had this ability,
Why are you still sulking here?
Su Tianli continued, "If there is really no way to stop Mom from leaving, then...is there any way to make those talkative people in the factory shut up?"
Su Dejun was so angry that his whole body began to tremble.
Su Tianli sighed softly, "Not only will you be laughed at, I guess Lao Si and I will be laughed at too."
She sighed and said helplessly, "If only the woman who ran away with the old mistress wasn't my mother."
"This way, no one will laugh at me."
Su Dejun was stunned.
"Divorce?" Su Dejun murmured.
Su Tianli covered her mouth and looked at Su Dejun in shock, "Dad? You...you want to divorce my mom?"
Su Dejun also looked confused.
Su Tianli asked again, "Dad, is this true? Then...how are you going to propose divorce conditions to my mom?"
"If you two divorce, and she goes to find Su Youzi's biological father, then you two will go your separate ways, and you will have nothing to do with each other in the future when you get married!"
"Dad, if you two really get divorced, will you give my mom some money, or will my mom give you some money?"
At this point, Su Tianli said worriedly, "I don't think you did anything wrong in your marriage, Dad? At most, you hurt your waist, and sometimes you need mom to help you or something... Of course, mom didn't do much wrong in her marriage..."
In an instant, Su Dejun's eyes lit up!
"How can she be blameless?" Su Dejun said loudly, "She tricked me into marrying her when she was pregnant with a bastard, and then she spent my money to raise that bastard!"
"Now, she's leaving me behind to go see her lover!"
"This is all her fault!"
Su Dejun suddenly became excited, "This marriage must be divorced! And Tian Xiu must give me financial compensation! If she doesn't divorce and doesn't give me financial compensation, then she can forget about going to see that old lover!"
As soon as the words fell——
Tian Xiu pushed the door open and walked in.
She heard everything Su Dejun said clearly and completely.
Tian Xiu narrowed his eyes instantly and glared at Su Dejun.
Su Tianli quickly pretended to reconcile, "Dad, stop talking nonsense!"
Then he said to Tian Xiu, "Mom, don't take it to heart, my dad was just saying that in anger!"
After Su Dejun finished talking to his daughter, he felt confident and yelled at Tian Xiu, "...get a divorce!"
"I'm telling you, Tian Xiu! You are not allowed to leave the factory without my permission!"
"If you dare to leave... I will bring people to your mistress's house with drums and gongs, and tell everyone in your old workplace that you were unmarried and pregnant with the old man's bastard child, and that you married me by deception!"
Tian Xiu was so angry that he was shaking all over.
