Chapter 70: step dad 3

During the company dinner, Han Feiyu inevitably drank a few glasses and walked out of the hotel smelling of alcohol. The mobile phone in his trouser pocket vibrated a few times. He took out the mobile phone and connected it, smiling wantonly: "How does it feel to be home?"

Han Shutao lay on the bed with a lazy expression, tilted his head and thought about it, and laughed strangely: "I feel pretty good."

Han Feiyu's peach blossom eyes were aroused, and he was very surprised. This girl called him in the morning and asked him to go back to the old man's place with her for a while. Get used to her, she is willing to go back to live, he just stays with her. Originally worried that she would quarrel with the old man again when she went back, but unexpectedly, the girl told him that she felt pretty good at the old man's place.

He was curious, did the old man make her feel good? Or did Hu Xialan's mother and son feel good to her?

Han Shutao smiled and said, "I just found out today that our silly old man is interesting."

"What did he do again?" Han Feiyu leaned against the pillar at the entrance of the hotel and asked casually.

Han Shutao made a fool of himself: "You will know when you come back. But bro, I told you, we are comrades in the trenches, and you have to act with me when the time comes. You can't tear me down."

acting? Also comrades.

Shu Tao is planning to stage a drama of family ethics, is he determined to declare war with Hu Xialan's mother and son?

Han Feiyu was funny, but he also said: "You are my own sister, and I will definitely support you unswervingly."

After Han Shutao finished communicating with her brother, she said, "Then come back quickly."

Han Feiyu hooked his lips: "OK."

Han Shutao heard his voice trembling, frowned, and said displeasedly: "Are you drinking again?"

Han Feiyu had a guilty conscience. He once had the experience of drinking alcohol and entering the hospital. He frightened the girl and cried so much. He vowed not to drink alcohol at that time, but how could he not drink alcohol for work and entertainment? He said: "A little bit, a little bit Just a little bit!"

Han Shutao snorted, "Speaking doesn't count."

Han Feiyu's colleagues came out and saw Han Feiyu on the phone, they waved and smiled at him kindly, and Han Feiyu waved to them.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Han Shutao saw that he didn't speak, and there was an element of anger mixed in his thoughts: "Mom is gone, my sister's words have no prestige, you can drink if you want to drink, and I won't care about you if you drink. Hmph, when the time comes I found my sister-in-law, see if you still listen to her, don't drive after drinking, take a taxi and come back."

Han Feiyu listened with a smile. He had already informed his assistant to drive his car back to the company. Although he was young and loved to play, he cherished his own life. While making a phone call, he walked out of the hotel, hailed a taxi, got in the taxi, "I'll be home soon," he said.

Just as Han Shutao hung up the phone, Han Ze brought a glass of milk, stood at the door of her bedroom, and knocked. She got out of bed and opened the door, glanced at the milk in his hand, and frowned slightly: "You don't have to bring me milk, I don't have the habit of drinking milk at night. Besides, if I drink milk, I can pour it myself, you don't have to take me Be a child."

Han Ze smiled and said: "It's okay, idle is idle, just treat it as exercise."

Han Shutao gave him a helpless look, took the milk in his hand and finished it in a small sip, she said: "If you want to exercise your muscles and bones, you can go out to play Tai Chi, jog or something. What kind of muscles do you exercise?"

Thinking about how pitiful her stupid father is, she has been fooled for half of her life, yet she still trusts Hu Xialan so much, and is worried that Hu Xialan is too temperless and will be bullied when she lives with her daughter-in-law in the future, so she firmly disagrees with living with her daughter-in-law. However, this determines what Hu Xialan thinks in her heart, she doesn't know. Anyway, she was just waiting to see a good show.

Han Ze took the cup from her hand and said, "You are right. At our age, Tai Chi is pretty good. Tomorrow morning, I will do Tai Chi with Teacher Ma from our community."

Han Shutao rolled her eyes, she said casually, whether the old man practiced Tai Chi or not, his gentle and virtuous wife took care of her, so she didn't worry about it.

Han Ze looked at her expectantly: "When will your brother come back?"

Han Shutao glanced at him: "It's already in the car."

Han Ze moved his feet, looked at Han Shutao, and asked tentatively, "Is your brother talking about a girlfriend?"

Han Shutao looked at him impatiently, and said, "Didn't you say you won't urge us to get married? Why do you ask so many questions?"

Han Ze sighed, the child obviously had a big opinion on Yuan Shen. He said: "I, I don't mean anything else, I just want to care about you, can't I care about you?"

Han Shutao actually can't understand her father, care about them? What did you do a few years ago?

"Don't worry, my brother and I will take care of you for the elderly," she said.

Han Ze smiled with disappointment, and he said: "The land of our family sold a lot of money back then, and invested it. We can distribute a lot of money every year, and I still have a salary. I don't need you to pay for the pension, and I can support Own."

Han Shutao snorted and said, "Not only can you support yourself, you can also support Aunt Hu, mother and son."

Han Ze patted her on the shoulder and said seriously: "Since we are married to your Aunt Hu, we are a family. If you don't support them, what do you ask them to do?"

Han Shutao was not convinced: "However, Liu Mingda is thirty years old. He has been working for such a long time, and he still eats and stays at home. It is obvious that he is eating your boss. You have never cared about me and my brother for so many years."

Han Ze comforted her: "He wants to save money to buy a house. After he buys a house, he will naturally pay living expenses. Brother Ming Da is not a stingy person."

Han Shutao rolled his eyes, suddenly took Han Ze's arm, and said, "Dad, my brother and I moved back, and we lived at home. Now that we are grown up, we can earn money. We spend all our food and drink at our parents' expense. Not good, why don't we share the living expenses equally."

After hearing what he said, Han Ze disapproved and said, "You should save your salary to buy clothes and cosmetics. The family does not lack your living expenses."

If Liu Mingda can be cheated, it is only a thousand yuan for living expenses. Han Shutao doesn't take it seriously. The old man has already promised to buy her a car, so she can't afford it. , we as children have to think about our parents. Although my salary is not high, I still have to pay for the living expenses that should be paid. As you said, you can’t rely on your parents for everything. Come to think of it, Brother Mingda has saved enough money to buy a house after so many years , pay some living expenses, it’s still okay.”

Han Ze looked at her: "Mingda also has to pay living expenses?"

As he asked, he couldn't help being funny, this daughter came up with one idea after another, Liu Mingda valued money more than his life, what's the difference between asking him to pay living expenses and asking for his life?

Han Shutao raised his eyebrows: "Yes, if my brother and I both pay living expenses, Brother Mingda is such a sensible, filial, self-respecting person, if he is not allowed to pay living expenses, we should think that we look down on him."

Han Ze agreed, and he said: "Mingda is really sensible and filial, and his self-esteem is also a bit strong. Since you proposed to pay living expenses, he will definitely pay. When your brother comes back, let's sit together and discuss it."

Han Shutao smiled like a stealing cat, and said in a brisk tone, "Okay, okay."

...

Every time Wang Peining comes back with Liu Mingda for dinner, she will stay here, and it will be the same tonight. She distractedly tugged at Liu Mingda who was sitting there playing games, curled her lips and said, "The fire is burning, and you can still play the game? Just now I saw Uncle Han serving milk to Han Shutao."

What she didn't say was that it was her biological daughter, she had never seen Uncle Han pour milk for Mingda, and she said so, knowing in her heart that Uncle Han treated Mingda no differently from her own daughter.

Liu Mingda threw his mobile phone on the bed, put his hands behind his head, and leaned against the head of the bed. He said realistically, "What can we do if we don't play games? We can't use a knife to force him to buy us a house! We can't do anything illegal. Uncle Han is getting older, and he thought of the benefits of having more children. When Han Feiyu and his sister were young, he didn't take care of them much, so now he has no choice but to please them."

Wang Peining lay on the bed with an unhappy tone: "It's so inconvenient for the Han Feiyu brothers and sisters to move back. If they live here all the time, won't they be able to see them when they come back? I can't get along with Han Shutao."

Liu Mingda put down his hand, held her hand tightly, and said in a gentle voice, "There is nothing we can do about it. It is justifiable for Han Feiyu and his sister to move back, so bear with it."

Wang Peining was even more dissatisfied. She muttered: "It would be great if we could buy a house. Uncle Han said you have money, but I know you spend money very fiercely. Our watches add up to more than 100,000 yuan. The necklace and bracelet you bought for me also cost a lot of money. How much money do you have? If it’s not enough, let’s find a way and ask Uncle Han to borrow some. He has enough money to buy an off-road vehicle for Han Shutao. There must be money to lend us to buy a house."

She doesn't expect Han Ze to buy them a wedding house now, as long as he is willing to lend them money to buy a house, she will be satisfied.

Liu Mingda held her hand and slowly let go. He was extremely uncomfortable and his face was ugly: "Pei Ning, you also know that the reason why I was promoted so quickly is that the leaders in the company have taken care of it. For the holidays, the expensive gifts you bought for your parents, your jewelry bags, and of course my watch, all cost money..."

Wang Peining asked in a low voice, "Then how much money can you give?"

Liu Mingda was ashamed: "Twenty to thirty thousand."

Wang Peining's eyes were red, and she looked at him in disbelief. Mingda earns more than 10,000 yuan a month, but he actually told her that he only has 20,000 to 30,000 yuan now. Where did all his money go? Even if you buy gifts for her and her parents, it won't cost that much money. What's more, they eat at home almost every day, and he doesn't keep a car.

She always thought that even if Liu Mingda didn't have hundreds of thousands in his hands, he would have at least hundreds of thousands of yuan. If the Han family bought the house, hundreds of thousands of yuan would be enough for them to hold a wedding.

Now she has lowered the standard. They have been in love for nearly ten years. It’s okay to keep the wedding simple. Even if the money from the wedding is used to buy a house, even if it’s not enough, even if they borrow some, she can still scrape together some, and at least she can get a house. , lest you have nothing when you get married. Now it seems that they really have nothing.

"Where's your money?" she asked.

Liu Mingda looked at her: "It took flowers."

Wang Peining sneered: "It's really thrifty."

After finishing speaking, he took his bag and planned to leave.

Liu Mingda grabbed her and begged, "Pei Ning, Pei Ning, calm down."

Wang Peining's tears fell uncontrollably, and she sniffed: "I can't calm down. I didn't expect that you only saved 30,000 yuan for so many years. What is 30,000 yuan enough for? It's not enough for a wedding." What about buying a house? My parents don’t ask too much, as long as they have a house in Hwaseong, they will agree to our marriage. This request is not too high, right?”

Liu Mingda shook his head, he smiled wryly, "Uncle Han has four houses, I thought he would at least give me one..."

Wang Peining was bitter in her heart, and she said: "The salary of more than 10,000 yuan, not to mention board and lodging at home, most of your clothes are bought by your aunt. Uncle Han always thought that you were thrifty and saving money to buy a house, otherwise you would not I will let you not give the family a living allowance for so many years. I am really unhappy that Uncle Han did not buy us a wedding room. After thinking about it, I think he is right. After all, he always thought that you have money in your hand and can rely on Buy a house."

Liu Mingda squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, his tone was full of sadness, "Speaking of which, I am not my father's biological child, if it is my own..."

Wang Peining frowned: "I can see that Uncle Han has no concept of biological or not in his heart. Don't you think he treats you no differently from his own? You have lived and lived at home for so many years, and you haven't received any living expenses, and neither has he." What are you talking about. Look at Xiaomi in our company. Just after graduating from university, his parents asked him to pay living expenses, and he still has to pay. My colleagues in the company know that I can come to your house for dinner every day, and you don’t have to pay living expenses. I don’t know how much Envious."

Liu Mingda knew that his idea was wrong, he couldn't control his heart, he laughed at himself, he really cared about whether he had a biological child, but in fact it was him, he always felt that he was not the father who gave birth to the child, and he was always in front of him because he was afraid of being rejected by him Playing the image of an obedient, sensible, thrifty and good boy, even alienated the relationship between the two biological children of the father who was run on by this image.

But so what?

People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves, he just wants to make life better for himself, is it wrong?

Wang Peining looked at Liu Mingda with sadness in her helpless eyes. With a salary of more than 10,000 yuan, if you really have to be diligent and frugal, you can save enough money for the down payment in two or three years. Her requirements are not that high, and the house is bought in a remote place. She doesn't care about the location, but no matter the location of the house is good or bad, you should have a house when you get married.

"Mingda, when we get married, we must have a house. This is the only requirement of my parents."

She didn't think her parents' request was too much, she looked at his decadent struggle, and compromised with a wry smile: "If you can take out 150,000 yuan, I still have 100,000 yuan here. For the down payment, let the parents pass through first, and get the marriage certificate. As for the house decoration and the wedding, our salary is high, so if we really want to save money, we can make up enough money in just one or two years."

In this case, their marriage may have to be delayed later. As for breaking up, the two have been talking for so many years, so forget it. Although Mingda had a lot of calculations, it was right for her. After all, the reason why he spent so much money in the first place was mostly to please her and her parents. She couldn't blame him.

Liu Mingda stood up: "I'll let my mother figure out a way."

Wang Peining frowned: "What can Auntie think of?"

Liu Mingda was helpless, he said: "See if she can get 100,000 yuan from Dad. I have 30,000 yuan here. This month's salary hasn't been paid yet, so it's enough to make do with it."

Wang Peining thought for a while and said, "Auntie and Uncle Han are husband and wife. Auntie can directly say that she wants to buy jewelry and ask Uncle Han to take 100,000 yuan. Uncle Han is so kind to Auntie, so he should agree?"

Liu Mingda's eyes lit up, "Why didn't I think of the idea of ​​buying jewelry? Pei Ning, you are the smartest."

Wang Peining said angrily: "For our house, I'm not smart, what can I do?"

...

Han Feiyu arrived at Boya Xinyuan at 9:30. He didn't have the key here. He just rang the doorbell and the door opened. Han Ze smelled alcohol and asked in a low voice, "Have you been drinking?"

The obvious thing, Han Feiyu didn't answer him, he looked around, "give me a pair of slippers."

Han Ze took out a pair of brand new slippers from the shoe cabinet and said with a smile, "Your Auntie Hu bought them for you."

"Really? Then I have to thank her and trouble her to run errands." Taking his father's money and buying him a pair of slippers, what is it if it's not running errands?

Han Ze glanced at him: "My family, what are you thanking for? From now on, I will respect and respect your aunt more than anything else."

Han Feiyu stopped talking, changed his slippers by himself, and sat on the sofa with his eyes closed to rest. Respect is mutual. The woman looked at their siblings with calculating eyes. How could he respect her?

Han Shutao came down from upstairs when she heard the ringing, and she said with a smile on her face, "Brother, Dad is right, we should respect and respect Aunt Hu from now on, after all, she is so considerate of us."

Han Feiyu opened his eyes abruptly, and looked at her in astonishment, this little girl must have taken the wrong medicine, right? But when he thought about the acting that Shu Tao said, he came to his senses and said in time: "Yes, we must learn to respect others."

Learn to respect others, but it doesn't mean that you must learn to respect Hu Xialan. Of course, their old man got it wrong, so I can't blame him.

Seeing the two brothers and sisters performing there by themselves, Han Ze was relieved: "You have really grown up. Although you didn't grow up until you were 20 or 30, it's not too late."

Hu Xialan came out of the bathroom, and when she heard Han Ze's last words, she asked, "It's not too late for anything?"

Han Ze was very happy: "Both children said that they should learn to respect you. I said that they are almost 30, and they are sensible. It's not too late. What do you think?"

Hu Xialan just smiled and agreed. She didn't want to say anything, she didn't care for the respect of the two children at all. They can't change whether they respect her or not. The fact that Lao Han left the house and car to them, she can't really like these two children. Without them, Lao Han's things will be lost without their calculations It belongs to Mingda Mingkai.

Han Feiyu looked at Han Shutao in surprise, Han Shutao raised his eyebrows, and said: "It was because we were ignorant and often contradicted Dad, which made Dad angry. Now we all know that we are wrong, and we will change it, right, brother?"

Han Feiyu said in a daze: "Yes, yes. Absolutely."

Han Ze looked at Hu Xialan, pointed to the two children, his face was full of joy: "The children are sensible, and my heart suddenly brightened." After a pause, he remembered what Han Shutao said about the living expenses, and said: "Xialan, Feiyu is back. Alright, let Mingda and Pei Ning come out and have a chat."

Hu Xialan was a little reluctant, their relationship is so bad, what is there to talk about? But he went to the room anyway and called out the two of them.

The whole family sat on the sofa. Han Shutao coughed, cleared his throat and said, "Since my brother and I moved back, it will increase the burden on the family. I decided to share the living expenses of our family equally. Do you have any opinions?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of the people in the room were different. Han Ze knew in advance that there would be no reaction, and Han Feiyu also had no reaction, as long as he knew that his sister would not cheat him. Hu Xialan, Liu Mingda, and Wang Peining felt a sudden shock in their hearts.

Seeing that they were silent, Han Shutao said again: "The living expenses are all paid by Dad. Dad is an old man in his fifties and sixties. The whole family's life is on his head. As a girl, I can't bear it. We are all like this. When he grows up, don't talk about giving him a pension, at least he can't be squeezed anymore."

Han Ze was very moved. He looked at Hu Xialan and said, "This kid is either ignorant, and once he wakes up, why is he so caring?"

The daughter is so sensible, and Lao Han was moved. As a virtuous stepmother, how could Hu Xialan not be moved? Her eyes were red: "Yes!"

The only one is yes, she really can't say the extra words.

Han Shutao noticed that Hu Xialan's eyes were red, and said empathetically, "Auntie, we are a family, and what I say is from the bottom of my heart. If you are moved, don't cry."

Hu Xialan choked, hating her heart. The red eyes were not moved by you, but angry by you.

Han Ze looked at her worriedly: "Shu Tao is right, touch is touch, don't cry."

Hu Xialan twitched the corners of her mouth. Can she say that she is angry? You father and daughter, if you continue to persuade her, maybe she will really cry. Who is it?

Seeing his mother's face was stiff, Liu Mingda said: "Dad, don't worry about Mom, she has very low tears, and she will be moved to cry when watching TV, and she will be fine after a while."

Han Ze felt relieved, and he sighed and said, "Although the family is not short of money, it's all because of your intentions, lest I refuse and hurt your self-esteem, and feel that I look down on you. Since you have to pay living expenses, then pay it. "

Liu Mingda wanted to say that he was not afraid of being looked down upon. He is afraid of paying. He asked, "Dad, how much do you want to pay?"

Han Shutao snapped his fingers and did the math: "Water, electricity, gas, fruit, milk, and beverages all have to be counted in. Fifty thousand per person may not be enough, but if it's not enough, Dad will help you with some money. Take fifteen thousand. Is that enough, Pa?"

Han Ze said with a smile: "Enough is enough."

Han Feiyu said straightforwardly: "Okay, fifteen hundred yuan is not too much, just buy one less piece of clothing."

Liu Mingda was extremely reluctant, but luckily there was only one thousand and five, so he said stiffly: "Yes. I agree."

Han Shutao glanced at him and asked, "Does Miss Pei Ning come to eat every day?"

Liu Mingda was taken aback, why did Pei Ning get involved? He has an ugly face, isn't it because he wants Pei Ning to pay for his living expenses?

Wang Peining's face also changed, she can't come over for dinner in the future?

Han Ze frowned and said, "You child, Pei Ning is a guest."

Han Shutao didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Sister Pei Ning is a guest, I know, if she comes here once in a while, it's fine. If she comes to live at home every day, it's no different from living here. Of course, I didn't ask her Living expenses, but she is Brother Mingda's girlfriend, let Brother Mingda pay the money."

Wang Peining's face darkened, Liu Mingda clenched his fists, Hu Xialan frowned and said, "Old Han, isn't that bad? After all, Peining didn't come in."

Han Ze pondered: "It's really not good."

Hu Xialan, Wang Peining, and Liu Mingda relaxed.

Han Ze pondered: "My daughter-in-law raises her own, Pei Ning doesn't need to pay, so let Mingda pay for it. A man can never let his parents help raise his daughter-in-law. It's not good to say that, Mingda's salary is high, two or three thousand yuan It’s just money, you can take it out.”

After speaking, he looked at Liu Mingda in relief.

Liu Mingda wanted to hit someone darkly in his heart, but he agreed with a smile on his face. Are they trying to drive people crazy?

Han Ze said again: "Of course, if Feiyu brings his girlfriend back for a long-term stay in the future, he will also have to pay living expenses."

Even if Han Ze explained this, Liu Mingda and Hu Xialan didn't look much better. From their point of view, Han Ze no longer plans to pay for them to buy a car or a house. In the future, the brothers and sisters of Han Feiyu will lose one point.

Even if Han Feiyu gets a girlfriend, he also pays living expenses, which is no different from saving the money in another place. What are they happy about?

Of course, Wang Peining let go of her tense cheeks a little. Uncle Han didn't just target her.
