The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 124 An unfortunate childhood

In the evening, Su Daqiang cooked a table of dishes, including meat and vegetables, all of which were home-cooked, and the taste was neither good nor bad.

Although Su Daqiang has the same face as He Daqing, he is far inferior to his cooking skills.

In the courtyard world, Wang Gang is not very familiar with the father-in-law, He Daqing. After he was driven away by the widow's children, Wang Gang found him a nursing home, and usually did not visit him.

But for Su Daqiang, Wang Gang's senses are different.

Maybe because of Su Mingzhe's memory, Wang Gang is very close to and grateful to his parents.

Although Zhao Meilan was very unfair to Su Mingyu, she had nothing to say to her two sons, Su Mingzhe and Su Mingcheng.

This may have something to do with her being born in a rural area and her traditional patriarchal thinking.

If there was a chicken on the dinner table, the two chicken legs must belong to Su Mingzhe and Su Mingcheng. The two old ones ate the chicken wings, and Su Mingyu had the chicken breast at the end.

So Su Mingzhe and Su Mingcheng didn't suffer much when they were young, and they can concentrate on their studies.

Su Mingyu is much more miserable. Apart from studying, she has been doing housework since she was a child, washing clothes and cleaning, and even pouring Yexiang.

Patriarchal to such an extent, it is no wonder that she parted ways with her family as soon as she entered college.

After Wang Gang was reborn, looking through Su Mingzhe's memory, he also found that the little sister had a difficult life, and he always wanted to find a chance to make up for it.

After dinner, Wang Gang tried to call Su Mingyu two more times, but no one answered, and he didn't know what she was doing, whether she didn't hear her or didn't want to answer.

Wang Gang saw that the time was a bit late, so he stopped calling and planned to go to her school to find her tomorrow.

The next morning, Wang Gang got up early, and then found a courier station near his home to deliver the purchased items one by one. He was busy until noon before he was free.

Wang Gang took a taxi to the Teachers College. Before the car reached the gate of the school, Wang Gang asked the driver to stop because he saw a familiar person at the gate of a small supermarket.

After paying the fare, Wang Gang got out of the car and walked towards the supermarket, when a girl handed him a leaflet.

"Sir, we have discounts in our supermarket. With the help of the leaflet, the products can enjoy a discount." The girl handed out the leaflet mechanically, and didn't see who was coming.

"Mingyu." Wang Gang took the leaflet and called softly.

The girl raised her head and saw Wang Gang's appearance clearly.

"Brother." The girl said in a daze.

The girl handing out the leaflets was none other than Su Mingyu.

Wang Gang looked at Su Mingyu with some distress. He was dressed in plain clothes with a ponytail, a supermarket banner on his chest, and a pair of white sneakers that had been worn black for a long time.

"Why did you do this?" Wang Gang asked distressedly.

Su Mingyu smiled heartily and said, "Brother, I'm working part-time and studying! Don't hinder my work."

Wang Gang took Su Mingyu's hand and asked, "It's almost noon, have you eaten yet?"

Su Mingyu forced a smile and said, "I still have half an hour to get off work."

Wang Gang said firmly: "I'll wait for you for half an hour, and then we'll go eat."

Su Mingyu said: "I still have a job to do at two o'clock in the afternoon, why don't we get together next time when we have time."

Wang Gang frowned and said, "How many jobs do you work a day?"

Su Mingyu said with some embarrassment: "Only two jobs."

Wang Gang said: "Then I'll wait for you to get off work, we must have a meal today."

Su Mingyu saw that Wang Gang's attitude was very firm, and knew that he couldn't escape today, so she thought for a while and said, "Then let me tell the owner of the supermarket to leave half an hour earlier."

Wang Gang nodded and watched Su Mingyu walk into the small supermarket, talking to a man who seemed to be the boss.

"You've only been here for a few days and you want to leave early. If you still want to do it, get out of here." The boss spoke so loudly that Wang Gang could hear him standing outside the supermarket.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I really have a special situation today. My elder brother came to see me for something. I'll work for you for an extra half an hour tomorrow. Is that okay?" Su Mingyu said humbly.

"Your brother, I think it's your boyfriend! You say you young people are in love all day long, and you don't even want to do work. You really have enough water to drink!" The boss said angrily.

Wang Gang stood outside and couldn't listen any longer. When he walked into the supermarket, he shouted to the boss: "You boss, why do you speak so harshly? My little sister is working here for you. She is not a slave. You can't leave if you have something to do!"

The boss's face turned green and pale after being pushed by Wang Gang, and he roared angrily: "I can't afford this kind of young lady, you go away quickly, and don't come here anymore."

Su Mingyu panicked, and hurriedly said: "Don't! Boss, my elder brother can't speak. I will take him to apologize to you. I really need this job."

Wang Gang pulled Su Mingyu's arm and said: "Little sister, don't beg him, there is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay, and we don't care about this job."

Then Wang Gang said to the boss again: "Quickly pay my little sister's wages. I will sue you for any less money. You don't want to do business with this supermarket."

The boss trembled with anger, opened the cash box angrily, took out a few ten-cent bills, and threw them on the table.

"Get the money and get out, I don't want to see you for a second."

Su Mingyu wanted to plead with the boss again, but Wang Gang held her wrist tightly, grabbed the money on the table, and walked out of the supermarket.

When the two left the supermarket, the boss was still cursing at the back, but Wang Gang ignored them, stopped a taxi and left.

Sitting in the car, Wang Gang and Su Mingyu didn't talk much, and finally the driver master took them to a big hotel.

Wang Gang took his younger sister into the restaurant and found an empty seat in the lobby without looking for a private room. He asked the waiter to order five dishes, three meat and one vegetarian, plus an old hen soup.

"Enough, enough, the two of us can't eat that much." Seeing Wang Gang spending so much money, Su Mingyu hurriedly stopped him from ordering any more.

Wang Gang sighed, returned the menu to the waiter, and urged her to place the order and serve the food quickly.

"Brother, you had a good time in America, you can invite your sister to a restaurant." Su Mingyu said with a smile.

Wang Gang was silent for a while, and then said: "Don't go to work in the future, concentrate on your studies, you don't have to worry about tuition and living expenses, I will pay for you."

When Su Mingyu heard this, her eyes turned slightly red, but she suppressed tears not to flow down.

"I can work to support myself, I don't need you to manage."

Wang Gang said angrily, "I don't care who cares about you, I'm your big brother."

Su Mingyu chuckled and said, "Brother, you are still in school now, what do you do to support me? Although I have free tuition for four years in college, the cost of living is very expensive."

Wang Gang said: "I have already found a job in the United States, so don't worry about money, study hard, try to take the TOEFL test, and go to the United States to study abroad if you have the opportunity."

Su Mingyu was stunned for a moment, then quietly said: "Brother, do you still remember what you said to me before you left?"

Wang Gang said: "Of course I remember, you said that you also want to study abroad, I have always kept this in mind."

Su Mingyu lowered her head, tears could no longer hold back.

"My parents are willing to sell the house for you to study abroad, but they are not willing to even go to Qinghua. Did they pick me up?"

Su Mingyu seemed to want to confide all the grievances of these years, she kept crying, complaining about Zhao Meilan and Su Daqiang while crying.

"My parents spoiled you and Su Mingcheng since they were young, and didn't let you do anything, but asked me to learn to do housework, like a child laborer, why?"

"In order to study abroad for you, my mother sold my room without my consent, leaving me without a place to sleep."

"I passed Qinghua in the college entrance examination, so why did my mother only let me go to the normal school?"

Listening to Su Mingyu's scolding to her parents, Wang Gang also felt that Zhao Meilan was too much to her, and Su Daqiang was too useless, making her daughter miserable.

At this time, Goldfinger suddenly issued a mission.

[Unfortunate childhood needs to be healed in a lifetime. As the eldest son of Su, you have the responsibility to make your sister happy. Complete the task and reward 1 free attribute point. 】

When Wang Gang heard about the Goldfinger mission, he muttered in his heart, what is happiness?For Su Mingyu, what is her happiness?

Su Mingyu, who was crying, naturally didn't know what was going on in Wang Gang's heart. After crying for a while, the depression in her heart was relieved, and she felt a lot better.

The waiter also brought the dishes over at this time.

"Cry and be hungry! Eat quickly! You are much thinner than before I left." Wang Gang scooped up a bowl of chicken soup for Su Mingyu and put it in front of her.

"In the future, if you have any grievances in your heart, tell me, and the elder brother will help you."

Su Mingyu held the bowl in both hands, and the warm chicken soup warmed her heart a lot.

"Brother, you seem to have changed." Su Mingyu looked at Wang Gang seriously, and said:
"You seem to have become another person. If your face didn't change, I would have thought you were not my elder brother."
