Blackening starts from the golden years

At night, in Zhu Li and Su Mingcheng's room.

Thinking about Su Daqiang, Zhu Li couldn't sleep. She sat up from the bed and quietly looked at Su Mingcheng who was snoring beside her.

At this moment, Su Mingcheng's body suddenly trembled. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Zhu Li sitting there, looking at him quietly. He was frightened and asked fearfully:

"You, what are you doing?"

Zhu Li rested her chin on her legs with one hand, and looked at Su Mingcheng angrily and said:

"I can't sleep, you get up."

"What, what are you doing?"

"Meeting."

Julie said in a calm voice.

Hearing this, Su Mingcheng turned his head and glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was past two in the morning. He couldn't help but sighed, turned back to look at Zhu Li and said:
"It's so late, you, I, I'll do my best."

After saying that, he sat up from the bed and started to take off his clothes. Seeing him like this, Zhu Li was both angry and amused. She pushed Su Mingcheng back and said angrily:
"That's not what I meant by a meeting. We can't ignore your father's affairs. I've thought about it for a long time. There are so many scammers out there. Your father is an old man, and the elderly are most likely to be deceived. You should think of a solution quickly. What should we do?"

"Can't we talk about this tomorrow?"

As he spoke, Su Mingcheng, who felt very sleepy, covered his head with the quilt and prepared to continue sleeping. Zhu Li pulled the quilt away. She was different from Su Mingcheng. If there was something, she would solve it immediately, otherwise she would not be able to sleep well.

"No, you better get up and think of a solution now so that you can execute it tomorrow."

"You've really woken me up. Let's have a meeting. I'll think of a good solution."

"No."

Zhu Li stared at Su Mingcheng with wide eyes.

"Okay, let's think of a solution first, then have a meeting."

After saying that, Su Mingcheng sat up from the bed and began to discuss with Zhu Li how to ensure that his father did not spend money indiscriminately, or to supervise his money.

Finally, the two of them discussed it and decided to let Su Daqiang keep accounts every day, recording where the money went, so that they could monitor the flow of Su Daqiang's funds and avoid bad things from happening.

After the discussion, Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li were very happy and thought this was a good idea.

At this time, Su Mingcheng, who was somewhat excited, could no longer sleep. He looked at Zhu Li who was jumping for joy beside him, and could not help but throw her under him, looking at her beautiful big eyes and smiling:
"Honey, let's have a meeting."

"No."

"No, why not?"

Looking at the anxious Su Mingcheng, Zhu Li couldn't help laughing and said:
"I'm here."

"what."

Su Mingcheng shouted in distress, he got off Zhu Li's body and crawled into the quilt next to her to sleep.

"sleep."

Su Mingcheng said in a muffled voice. Zhu Li couldn't help but smile. She crawled into the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and looked at the roof. She finally put down her worry and waited to talk to Su Daqiang about the accounting tomorrow.

……

Soon, it was daybreak. Julie got up early, brushed her teeth and washed her face, then went out to buy breakfast.

At this time, Su Daqiang and Su Mingcheng had already gotten up. Seeing Su Daqiang coming out of the bathroom, Zhu Li looked at him and smiled while fiddling with the breakfast and dishes on the table:

"Dad, it's time for breakfast."

"Ah."

Su Daqiang hummed, and slowly walked to the dining table and sat down. He looked up at Zhu Li and saw that she was wearing a white sweatshirt with half of her shoulders exposed, and the shoulder straps of her black bra were exposed. He lowered his head, picked up the bowl and chopsticks to eat breakfast, and said lightly:

"Lili."

"Ok?"

Looking at Su Daqiang, Zhu Li smiled and said:

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Aren't you afraid of the cold?"

Su Daqiang said calmly, and Zhu Li understood immediately. She pulled her clothes up awkwardly. At this time, Su Mingcheng walked over to Zhu Li and sat down. He first glanced at Zhu Li, made eye contact with her, then turned his head to look at Su Daqiang who was eating breakfast opposite him and said:
"Dad, I'm sorry about what happened yesterday. I shouldn't have controlled you."

"Yes, Dad, I've already explained what happened yesterday. It's wrong for us to do this. It's your money, so of course you can spend it however you want, right?"

Zhu Li smiled, and Su Mingcheng echoed her. He looked at Su Daqiang and said:

"Yes, Lili and I discussed it last night. We will increase your daily pocket money by 10 yuan. Look at me, I will do something generous for you."

As he spoke, Su Mingcheng took out his wallet from his hip pocket, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill and a twenty-dollar bill, and slapped them on the table in front of Su Daqiang.

"I'll pay you for two days at once. How about that? Isn't that generous?"

Su Daqiang remained silent. He looked at the money on the table, then looked up at Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li. Looking at him, Zhu Li smiled and said:

"Dad, this is two days' living expenses, 120 yuan, 10 yuan more per day."

Hearing what Zhu Li said, Su Daqiang looked at her, put the one hundred and twenty yuan on the table into his pocket, and after taking the money, a very happy smile immediately appeared on his face.

Seeing him like this, Su Mingcheng smiled and said:

"Dad, I just like to see you smile. When you smile, you are as bright as a flower. You are so beautiful."

"hehe."

Su Daqiang smiled and waved the chopsticks in his hand, saying:
"Alright, alright, what's done is done. Let's not talk about it anymore."

"Yes, yes, let's go."

"Don't mention it. No one is allowed to mention it."

"Don't mention it."

Seeing that Su Daqiang was happy, Zhu Li coughed lightly and glanced at Su Mingcheng beside her. Su Mingcheng gave her a reassuring look, and then he looked at Su Daqiang, who was full of joy, and said with a smile:

"But I have a small request. Please take the money and don't spend it carelessly, okay?"

"Don't worry, son. Dad is taking good care of it."

Su Daqiang laughed.

"That's great. Then I have another request. You spend money, eat, drink, buy lottery tickets, it's all fine. Just keep a record of what you spend, okay? You like to keep a record, right?"

After Su Mingcheng finished speaking, Zhu Li also looked at Su Daqiang and said with a smile:
"Yes, Dad, you said you used to keep accounts. This is a good habit. You must not lose it."

"What do you mean?"

Looking at Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li who were singing the same tune, the smile on Su Daqiang's face slowly disappeared, and he asked:
"Do you have any problem with me because I'm keeping your accounts?"

"No, no, you see, no, that's not what we meant."

"You, you won't regret it, right?"

Su Daqiang was a little worried. He looked at Zhu Li and Su Mingcheng and said nervously:
"No, you won't not pay me back, right?"

"You think too much."

Su Mingcheng said helplessly:
"We just want you to keep an account. I checked online and found that keeping an account can prevent Alzheimer's disease for the elderly. It uses the brain. Also, you keep an account with your hands. Your fingers are connected to your heart, so it's good for your heart."

Julie then said:

"That's right. First of all, keeping accounts is good for your health. Secondly, we both reflected on it. We never had the habit of keeping accounts before. So, we spent so much money lavishly and eventually developed the bad habit of relying on our parents.

We both felt that this was not a good idea, so we also started keeping accounts. Moreover, Dad, listen to me, this account will allow us to know every single expense you make every day, right? In the future, we can also tell you where you are short of money in your life, and we can help you make up for it, right?"

"No, Lili, I'm old now. It's too difficult for me to calculate all the time if you ask me to do it every day."

Seeing that Su Daqiang was unwilling to keep the account, Zhu Li gently nudged Su Mingcheng beside her with her elbow. Su Mingcheng looked at Su Daqiang and said:
"It doesn't matter if you can't remember. Lili is a professional. Just eat and drink, bring the receipt back, and let Lili keep the account for you."

"That's right. All you need to do is give me the receipts of what you did every day. I will remember everything for you."

"Yeah, that's great."

Seeing Zhu Li and Su Mingcheng agreeing to keep their own accounts, Su Daqiang threw his bowl and chopsticks on the table, stood up and said angrily:

"What do you mean, both of you?"

Zhu Li was shocked that Su Daqiang would suddenly do this. Su Mingcheng was also suppressing more and more dissatisfaction in his heart. He put the bowl and chopsticks on the table and said to Su Daqiang who stood up:

"What do you mean? Why did you break the chopsticks? Is it that serious? Aren't we responsible for you?"

"Responsible for me?"

Su Daqiang only has money in his mind now. Looking at Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li, he sneered:
"I think you are afraid of losing your money?"

Seeing that Su Daqiang was upset, Zhu Li stopped talking and let Su Mingcheng speak. Looking at Su Daqiang, Su Mingcheng said:

"Dad, can you please sit down first? Let's talk calmly."

Su Daqiang sat down and looked at him. Su Mingcheng continued:
"You live in our house, and we are responsible for your food, drink, and defecation. We all have to worry about all your little and big things, right? If one of us is worried, the eldest brother and the other one will blame both of us. Please understand each other. We are under a lot of pressure."

"It's good to worry, but I advise you."

Looking at Zhu Li and Su Mingcheng, Su Daqiang said sarcastically: "You should worry more about how to pay me back the money you owe me as soon as possible."

"No, Dad, we are doing this for your own good and we really want to be responsible for you. Besides, haven't we already started paying you back every day?"

Zhu Li said, she glanced at Su Mingcheng beside her, Su Mingcheng was so angry that he didn't want to talk anymore.

"I'm telling you, since you're paying me back, the money is mine."

Su Daqiang shook his head and smiled:
"This is my own money. I don't need you to keep accounts for me. If you really want to be good to me, just put all your energy into paying off the debt."

After saying that, Su Daqiang didn't even eat breakfast. He got up and left, returned to his bedroom, and slammed the door.

"very good."

Su Mingcheng was about to explode with anger. He looked at Zhu Li beside him and said:

"Eat quickly, then go to work. He can do whatever he wants in the future."

After looking at Su Mingcheng, Zhu Li's lips moved slightly, but in the end she said nothing and began to eat breakfast in silence.

……

At this time, in Su Daqiang's bedroom.

He called Lao Nie and said:
"Old Nie, I have thought about the financial management, please guide me."

……

After Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li went to work, Su Daqiang sneaked out of the room with more than 10,000 yuan in his arms. He had agreed with Lao Nie to let Lao Nie take him to buy financial products. He planned to test the waters with this 10,000 yuan first. If he could really make money, he would make additional investments and invest all the remaining 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.

He made an appointment to meet Lao Nie at the old place. After the meeting, Lao Nie took Su Daqiang directly to the company where he had bought financial products before. Why did he say "before"? Because he had redeemed all the financial products and now started to play stocks.

Taking Su Daqiang into the Haofu Financial Management Company, Su Daqiang was relieved to see that the company looked quite formal. Lao Nie was a regular customer here. He sat on the sofa in the reception room waiting for Xiao Jin, the chief consultant of Haofu Financial Management Company. Su Daqiang walked around the reception room and took pictures with his mobile phone.

Soon, with the crisp sound of high heels stepping on the marble floor, a young woman in a black business suit and holding a blue folder in her arms walked into the reception room. The most eye-catching thing was her long legs. She was not wearing stockings and her hip skirt was very short. Although her appearance was not outstanding, she was young. Seeing her, Su Daqiang smiled foolishly. Seeing him like this, Old Nie next to him couldn't help laughing. It seems that Su Daqiang is old but his heart is young.

"Hello, I'm Xiao Jin, the chief consultant of Haofu Financial Management. If you have any questions, you can consult me ​​now."

"Hehe, hehe."

Su Daqiang smiled foolishly, and Old Nie looked at him and smiled:
"Daqiang, if you have any questions, just ask Xiaojin."

"well."

Finally, under the sweet humming of Xiao Jin, Su Daqiang bought a financial product that offered daily cash back and quick deposits. The average daily return was 50 yuan for every 10,000 yuan. The rate of return would fluctuate, but it was generally at this level. Su Daqiang bought 12,000 yuan. This money was the money that Zhu Li had returned to him before and the bonus given to her by the company.

Su Daqiang left the Haofu Financial Management Company with a smile on his face. Old Nie stayed by his side. Before that, Xiao Jin taught him step by step how to download the mobile app of the Haofu Financial Management Company, how to view the daily income and so on. Being served so enthusiastically by the young girl, the young but old Su Daqiang was so excited that he bought a financial product worth 12,000 yuan with a wave of his hand. In this way, he could receive an income of about 60 yuan every day in the future.

Looking at the smiling Su Daqiang, Old Nie said with a smile:

"Daqiang, Xiaojin is pretty good, right?"

"Not bad."

Su Daqiang nodded hurriedly and said with a smile:
“She’s quite enthusiastic.”

"Right. If you don't understand something in the future, just ask Xiao Jin. She will explain it to you very clearly."

"well."

Su Daqiang nodded, he looked at Old Nie and smiled:

"Come on, I'll treat you today, still at the same place."

"it is good."

……

Wu Fei’s home in San Francisco, USA.

"Is Xiao Mi asleep?"

"Ah."

"I'm going back to my country tomorrow. I'll come see you next month."

"it is good."

In the bathroom, Yuan Xudong hugged Wu Fei and stood under the shower. Amid the sound of the dripping shower, Wu Fei's soft and tender moans were heard.

"Uh-huh……"

That night, Yuan Xudong and Wu Fei were entangled in each other's arms, from the bathroom to the living room, the kitchen, and then to the bedroom upstairs. Yuan Xudong tormented Wu Fei all night long. The next morning, he left alone, rushed to the airport, and flew back to Suzhou.

He didn't know that a seed of life had begun to grow in Wu Fei's belly.

……

Two days later, in Suzhou, at a meat-eating restaurant, Su Daqiang invited Lao Nie to dinner again.

In the past two days, Su Daqiang's financial management income began to arrive in his account, with more than 50 yuan a day, and more than 60 yuan a day. In two days, he made almost 120 yuan, which is almost the same as the living expenses that Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li gave him, 60 yuan a day.

Seeing that he could really make money, Su Daqiang decided to increase his investment and invested another 48,000 yuan to make a total of 60,000 yuan. In this way, he could earn about 300 yuan a day, which is 9,000 yuan a month. If he continued to invest in the future, the interest would compound and he would become rich.

With hope in his heart, Su Daqiang was full of energy. He did not eat at home for the past two days. He went to restaurants every day and went to watch operas and drink tea with Lao Nie.

After dinner, accompanied by Lao Nie, Su Daqiang went to Haofu Financial Management Company again and bought 48,000 yuan of daily profit financial products from Xiao Jin.

In the following days, with an income of about 300 yuan per day, Su Daqiang became very proud and bought a new mobile phone. He used to be so stingy, but now he suddenly became generous. He also went to restaurants with Lao Nie, listened to operas and drank tea every day. Su Mingcheng couldn't help but wonder if he was doing some illegal business with Lao Nie.

In the evening, after getting off work, Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li sat on the sofa in the living room waiting for Su Daqiang to come back. They wanted to ask him what had been going on in the past few days, why he bought a new mobile phone, played outside all day, went to restaurants, and came home very late.

After waiting for a long time, Su Daqiang still didn't come back. Zhu Li couldn't help feeling a little sleepy. She couldn't help but open her mouth and said:

"Why don't we stop waiting and go to bed."

"Wait a minute, I need to explain it to him clearly. You are sleepy so go to sleep first."

Su Mingcheng said calmly that Su Daqiang had been acting very abnormally these past few days, his personality had completely changed, and he was really worried.

"Then I'm going to bed first."

"Ah."

Zhu Li got up from the sofa and went to sleep in the bedroom. Su Mingcheng sat on the sofa with a serious expression, and continued to wait for Su Daqiang to come back. It was past ten o'clock in the evening when Su Daqiang finally came back. He opened the door and walked into the house with a smile on his face.

"dad."

"Hey."

"came back?"

"came back."

Su Daqiang smiled and covered his eyebrows with his hands like a monkey, looking at Su Mingcheng who was sitting on the sofa. Seeing him like this, Su Mingcheng couldn't help but take a deep breath. He didn't stand up, but still sat on the sofa with his hands folded in front of his chest and his legs crossed. Looking at Su Daqiang, he asked patiently:

"Where have you been?"

"I went out to play."

"Where did you go to play?"

"outside."

"Which outside?"

Su Daqiang did not answer. He sat on the small bench at the door and said while changing his slippers:
"You said I'm not at home every day, how nice it is, you don't find me annoying when you can't see me."

Looking at Su Daqiang who gave an irrelevant answer, Su Mingcheng asked directly:
"Did you go play with Uncle Nie again?"

"hey-hey."

Su Daqiang changed into slippers, stood up and said with a smile:
"Oh, by the way, your uncle Nie told me that I should learn the lifestyle of young people and not be bound by worldly rules and regulations. Now I have learned the lesson."

Su Daqiang smiled like a flower. He was very satisfied with his current life. He went out to play with Lao Nie every day. He felt that he was getting younger and younger.

Unlike Su Daqiang, Su Mingcheng's mood became worse and worse when he saw him like this. He frowned and said:
"Don't play with him. You have been led astray by him."

Su Daqiang drank a lot of wine. He leaned against the wall and smiled at Su Mingcheng:
"Who says that the elderly can't go out and have fun? Who says that the elderly have to stay at home every day and do nothing? Who says that the elderly have to have no freedom?"

Seeing him like this, Su Mingcheng said angrily:
"You drank so much again, we're screwed. I didn't say I wouldn't give you freedom. I went to the lottery shop today and asked, you bought thousands of dollars worth of lottery tickets in the past half month. When mom was alive, she told you not to buy lottery tickets all the time. If you don't have the life to do it, don't dream about it."

"What if I want to dream about getting rich?"

The smile on Su Daqiang's face disappeared. He could earn more than 300 yuan a day. He was very proud of himself and felt that he was capable and had vision. Young people like Su Mingcheng who had no vision did not understand him at all.

"Dad, you really don't have the luck to make extra money, can we just put the money in the bank?"

Su Mingcheng advised. Looking at him, Su Daqiang shook his head and said:
"I just want to make some extra money to show you. Make, make, make, make, make a lot of extra money."

Su Daqiang shook his head, walked into his bedroom with his hands and feet gesticulating, and closed the door, which made Su Mingchengdu dumbfounded. Is his father crazy?
At this time, Zhu Li came out of the bedroom. She rubbed her sleepy eyes with her hands, looked at Su Mingcheng who was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a grim expression and asked:
"What's going on? Why do I hear someone quarrelling again?"

"I'm drunk again. I'm crazy. Crazy, crazy, crazy. Let's go to bed."

"what?"

Su Mingcheng stood up from the sofa, put his arm around Zhu Li's shoulders and went back to his room to sleep.
