Chapter 117 If he dies, I will definitely go to his funeral.

Su Lao Er frowned as he looked at Su Youfu.

I asked him, "Dad, what are you trying to do by saying all this? Do you want me to be with you? Aren't you a divorced dad?"

Su Youfu choked.

"How can that be the same? I'm not like your mother!"

"What's different?"

Su Lao Er stared at him, "Can you give me eight hundred yuan as a bride price, three turns and a ring, plus your office job? If you can give that, I'll be with you right now."

Su Youfu's lips twitched, and he spat at him.

"All you care about now is money. You don't care about the father-son relationship we've had for so many years! You're ganging up on your own father. Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about and cursed behind your back?"

Su Lao Er's eyes didn't move, but he curled his lips and said disdainfully, "If I didn't care about that little bit of father-son affection, I would have spread the word that you and He Taohua were having an affair, and then you would be the one being talked about behind your back and cursed. Wouldn't you be happy?"

"You bastard!"

Su Youfu was furious, he was about to be driven mad by this unruly second son of the Su family.

"Your mom was about to send you to jail back then. Did she even treat you like her own child? She treated you like that, were you stupid?!"

When the incident of Li Banxia calling the police was mentioned, Su Lao Er's eyes darkened, and he pursed his lips. Just as he was about to say something, Su Xiao Si returned.

"What...what happened? Was our house burgled?"

Seeing the yard ablaze with smoke and a huge crater, with the wisteria tree uprooted, I was completely stunned.

Su Lao Er glanced up at him but ignored him.

Su Hongmei cried and said, "Mom doesn't want us anymore because we didn't visit our third uncle."

"What?"

Su Xiaosi frowned, a hint of impatience in her eyes. "Why is Mom pulling this stunt again? When will this ever end?"

"...Waaah, I didn't even know she divorced Dad. She said we didn't visit Third Uncle, which means we chose Dad and Fourth Brother. What are we going to do?" Su Hongmei cried.

Su Xiaosi looked surprised. "Mom and Dad got divorced?"

He looked down at Su Youfu sitting on the steps, called out "Dad," and Su Youfu hummed in response.

"We're divorced. We've already got the divorce certificate. Your mother doesn't want you anymore. You two will be with me from now on."

Su Xiaosi's brow twitched, and a sudden surge of anger flashed in her eyes. "Why did she have to get divorced now of all times? I'm going to Tsinghua or Peking University to report for duty in a month. What am I supposed to tell my advisor? That I have divorced parents?"

She then complained to Su Youfu, "When you got divorced, did you ever think about us? Do you know how embarrassing it is for us to go out like this?"

"You brat, who do you think you're talking to? What do you mean by 'consider'? So what if I can't stand living with that venomous woman of yours and I'm getting a divorce? Do you think I'd pick an auspicious day for you? Who do you think you are?!"

Su Youfu retorted angrily, "Get out of here! You're just a brat who needs me to support his studies, and you dare to talk back to me like that? Believe me or not, I'll cut off your school fees."

These words didn't scare Su Xiaosi, but they did scare Su Hongmei.

She's only in the first year of junior high school. She's not as smart as Su Xiaosi, and it will be many years before she graduates from university.

"You'll support me? You've spent all your money supporting widows, where would you get the money to support me?"

Su Xiaosi was not afraid at all, and her words did not faze Su Youfu either: "When school starts after the summer vacation, the school will provide for my books, tuition and even living expenses. I will not rely on anyone from now on!"

After saying that, she felt a tightness in her chest and said angrily, "Other people's parents are afraid of affecting their children's studies, so they will endure it even if they can't make it work. As long as their children are successful in their careers and have happy families, they are satisfied. But you are different. You didn't even tell your children about the divorce! What kind of parents are you?"

The courtyard echoed with Su Xiaosi's angry shouts.

Su Youfu chuckled, "Fine, if you don't let me support you, I'll save some money."

Su Hongmei tugged at Su Xiaosi's sleeve.

She called out, "Fourth Brother, I'm scared. Mom didn't even look at me when she left. She really doesn't want us anymore..."

Su Xiaosi glanced at Su Hongmei.

"It's not your fault. It was no use going to Uncle San when he was sick. It was Mom who insisted on making a fuss about it..."

Su Hongmei felt wronged and wanted to cry.

That's what she thought too. It would be useless for them to go; they would only get lectured by their relatives. Why make them go and suffer?

Seeing that the two of them were actually showing mutual respect, Su Lao Er sneered.

"All that New Year's money from my third uncle, and all that food he sent from so far away, it's all gone to waste!"

"Second Brother!"

Su Xiaosi frowned and looked over, "Why have you learned from Mom too? Why are you talking about these little favors? When we visit them in the future, we won't go empty-handed, we'll bring things!"

"...Besides, isn't Third Uncle alright? Why are you all so fixated on this? He's not dead. If he were dead, I would have given up the competition without hesitation and taken a taxi to rush there..."

Before he could even utter the word "sad," he saw Su Lao Er Sen, with a cold face, smash a fire poker over his head.

The force was so great that Su Xiaosi groaned and knelt on one knee.

The 'crack' sound and the sound of a knee slamming heavily onto the ground occurred almost simultaneously.

"ah!"

Su Xiaosi tried to get up, only to find that the leg that had been hit was completely powerless. A sharp pain shot through her back, a piercing pain that felt like her bones were about to break.

He was instantly drenched in sweat, large beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

He cried out in uncontrollable pain, "It hurts, it hurts..."

Su Hongmei turned pale with fright.

When Brother Li and his comrades arrived by car, Su Hongmei stood at the gate, crying and shouting, "Second Brother has gone mad! He broke Fourth Brother's leg! Fourth Brother's leg is broken!"

Brother Li paused for a moment, his eyes instantly sharpening. He quickly got out of the car and strode into the courtyard.

Su Lao Er stood by the fire, his lips pursed and his neck stiff.

Su Xiaosi leaned against the steps, her face as white as paper. When she saw Brother Li, her eyes reddened as she called him "Uncle," saying, "My second brother hit me."

"Don't speak, let me see."

Brother Li squatted down and touched Su Xiaosi's calves, slowly running his fingers over them from her knees to her ankles.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief after getting it right the first time.

"It's not broken, don't worry, it's just a fracture. I'll take you to the hospital, put on a cast, and give you some medicine. It will heal quickly."

Su Xiaosi nodded repeatedly.

They were taken to the hospital, where X-rays confirmed a bone fracture.

After the doctor gave Su Xiaosi some basic treatment, they told them they could go home once the plaster had dried.

Brother Li called Su Lao Er to the stairwell and angrily smacked him on the head. "Su Min'an, are you crazy? How dare you hit your own brother so hard? Do you know that if he pursues this to the end, you'll definitely have a criminal record? How can you join the army with a criminal record?!"

"...Uncle, are you going to take me to join the army?" Su Lao Er was stunned.
