The next morning, Chen Lie made breakfast, pulled his wife out of bed, and asked her to go wash up when there was a knock on the door.
Ms. Meng and Chen Bai walked into the yard in the morning light, carrying things in their hands, which were obviously the things the old couple had saved.
Chen Bai: "Are you sure?"
"Yeah." Chen Lie took the tea and wine from her father's hand, "Do you want to send some wine? She's the only one at my aunt's place."
"What do you know? Wine must be given as a gift. Just soak it into medicinal wine and drink it." Women don't drink alcohol, but if it is medicinal wine that can strengthen the body, then there is no problem.
Ms. Meng: "Dr. Su drinks. Didn't you notice? She occasionally has a sip when she's free."
Just don’t drink in front of the kids, or if you do drink, don’t let anyone know.
Why does she know?
It was because Dr. Su talked about making medicinal wine, and he explained the types of liquor in detail and even described the taste.
It’s like this, how can you still be a person who has never drunk alcohol?
Chen Lie thought of the wine his wife had stockpiled and planned to mention it to Su Qinghu later.
"By the way, who borrowed that car by the door?" Chen Bai asked as he entered the living room. "It looks like a retired car. Did your comrade get it?"
Ms. Meng: "We drove here, so we don't need to borrow a car."
Two children and four adults can just squeeze in.
Chen Lie put the tea and wine on the living room table, turned around and said, "I originally got this car for Xiao Su to drive. With a car, it will be more convenient for her to go to get off work."
"Yesterday, I found out about my aunt. I thought it would be more convenient for her to go to the countryside for free medical treatment, so I discussed it with Xiao Su and decided to give the car to my aunt this time." Chen Lie glanced at Su Qinghu, whose hair was damp with moisture, "She agreed."
This means that it was his decision to give the car to Su Lilin.
Chen Bai smiled and said, "Of course you can, but you have to think of a good reason to make her accept it."
Today is a special day, as it is a real meeting with the parents. The gift is too expensive, and Su Lilin, a national player, may not accept it, especially since Su Qinghu is her only relative.
Ms. Meng didn't have as many thoughts as her husband. "Do I even need to think of an excuse? Just say it's to make it easier for her to go to the countryside for free medical treatment. If this car can save her time, it's a great blessing, and it's also a great blessing for the patients. If you put it that way, she'll definitely accept it!"
"During our previous treatment, I've learned everything about this little Aunt Su, a selfless doctor," said Ms. Meng. "She's always thinking about her patients! I once asked Little Su to take her out for a walk, but do you think she ever finds time? She's either in a meeting to discuss medical skills or on her way to a free clinic. Don't you agree, Little Su?"
Su Qinghu's eyes curved, he nodded vigorously, and then gave Ms. Meng a thumbs up.
Ms. Meng laughed and waved her hand, "Hurry up, go put on some face cream and come out!"
Su Qinghu nodded with a smile, said a few words to Chen Bai and Ms. Meng, then winked at Chen Lie and went to the dressing table.
As soon as Su Qinghu left, Ms. Meng lowered her voice and asked, "Do you still have money to buy a car?"
No matter what, it's a returned car, you still have to pay for it.
Chen Lie: "I asked my boss for an advance."
Chen Bai: “…”
Ms. Meng: “…”
Even if the car comes with a special price, it won’t be much cheaper, right?
If tens of thousands of yuan are deducted from allowances and bonuses, how long will it take to pay it back?
Ms. Meng didn't even dare to calculate. "When you return to the team, give me a call or a letter and tell me your account number. I'll transfer the money to you."
No matter what, just remit as much as you can!
Chen Lie: “No, I——”
"My brother and I still have a thousand yuan." Erdan came over quietly. "By the end of the year, we might have two thousand yuan. Then we'll give it all to pay off Dad's debts."
Big Egg: “Yeah.”
Chen Lie: “I…”
Before she could finish her words, Su Qinghu came out and said, "Don't worry, Mom. Dadan and Erdan both have this much. I have no more than them."
Chen Bai and Ms. Meng stopped suddenly.
How did they get caught just talking? Not only the children, but even my daughter-in-law heard it!
Wasn't she quiet enough?
Of course it wasn’t that she wasn’t quiet enough, but that Erdan was high-profile enough.
From what he said, Su Qinghu could guess almost everything.
"I don't need you to pay back the debt." Chen Lie raised his head and sighed, "The advance I mentioned means the remaining amount will be paid after a part of the money is paid. It's not much."
Su Qinghu nodded, "Yeah."
Ms. Meng: "It's not good to owe others money, right? Why not pay it back as soon as possible?"
Chen Bai: "I agree that we shouldn't owe money."
Chen Lie: "I only owe one month's salary."
“…” Ms. Meng looked at her son with obvious distrust in her eyes.
Chen Lie: “…Really.”
What's true?
Ms. Meng acted as if her son was just trying to save face and asked whether I should make up for it.
Chen Lie: "Mom, there are some things that cannot be said. You and my dad should know this."
He is not allowed to tell others about the tasks he is assigned, and the income he receives can only be regarded as an allowance or extra payment.
He saved all the extra income over the years. Later, a comrade from the south was discharged due to injury and came to him saying that he wanted to start a business, so he gave him the money as investment.
He invested money and his comrade invested technology, and the two of them split the profit 40% to 60%, with him taking 40% and his taking 60%.
In the past two years, the country's doors have opened up and he has been able to study abroad. He learned new technologies and purchased new equipment when he came back, and the annual dividends were given to him.
A few days ago, his comrades happily found him and gave him his dividends from previous years, asking him to spend them first.
That money was used to buy a car.
But I was still a little short of it, so I asked my boss for an advance.
Actually, it’s better to say that it’s borrowing from the leader than to say it’s an advance…
"Anyway, I only owe one month's salary." Chen Lie sighed, looked at Su Qinghu, and stopped her from talking big about paying. "Don't say anything."
Su Qinghu suppressed his laughter and nodded obediently.
Okay, then don’t tell me.
I just didn’t expect that the man who I thought was extremely poor could actually afford a car.
This is much more arrogant than her!
Chen Bai and Ms. Meng also thought about it, looked at Dadan, and nodded.
This child has some foreign blood...
That means my son has had a mission abroad...
"Let's eat." Chen Lie went to the kitchen first, "We'll set off after dinner."
Su Qinghu followed him happily and turned back to tell her parents-in-law, "I'll go serve the meal."
Dadan and Erdan were still stunned. Dad is so rich?
How much is the monthly allowance? How much does a car cost? No need to calculate!
Erdan carefully pulled Ms. Meng aside and asked, "Grandma, did my dad inherit the family fortune?"
Dadan looked at his younger brother and waited for the answer together.
"The only ancestral property we have is the yard you live in and the few shops we own." Ms. Meng patted his head. "We've taken everything we should have. There's nothing else left. You must study hard, otherwise we'll just eat up all our wealth..."
