Chapter 129 What do you want to hear me say?

Brother Cui's face twisted with anger as he glared fiercely at Su Laosan.

Tell Su Lao Er to "keep an eye on that barking dog next to you."

When facing men, she only dares to retreat sullenly, fawningly calling them "brother-in-law."

Su Lao Er's eyes turned slightly cold as he looked at Cui Xiaodi with a warning, "Think carefully before you speak. Who the hell is the dog?"

"you……"

"Little brother."

Cui Yuxia dared not let Su Lao Er lose his temper, fearing that he would reveal the truth, and all the effort she had put into winning him over these past few days would be in vain.

"Don't ruin your friendship over a few hundred dollars; it will put your brother-in-law in a difficult position."

Brother Cui was startled, and his eyes were filled with resentment and humiliation as he looked at Su Lao Er.

Under Cui Yuxia's gaze, he lowered his head and apologized, saying, "Yes, it was me. Brother Su, please forgive my rudeness. Can we discuss the money another day..."

She paused for a few seconds, then gritted her teeth and said, "My sister doesn't like you. She likes my brother-in-law. She really can't be with you..."

They adopted a posture of 'compromising and yielding'.

Su Lao Er raised an eyebrow.

Su Laosan leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Second brother, didn't you notice? These two siblings are better actors than us."

Su Lao Er frowned and glanced at him sideways.

Over there, Cui Yuxia also pursed her lips, looking at Su Lao Er with a wronged yet stubborn expression, as if she had suffered a great humiliation.

Su Lao Er chuckled, tilted his head, and licked his back teeth.

He raised his chin slightly and declared, "Don't try that on me. You've talked your way out of this, and you still have to pay me back. I don't want to ruin someone's marriage. Are you sure you want to keep stalling me like this?"

After saying that, he glanced at the man between the siblings, and said with a forced smile, "My patience is limited."

Upon hearing this, the man's expression clearly changed.

Cui Yuxia almost bit her lip until it bled, and glared fiercely at Su Lao Er.

Brother Cui was so angry he wanted to tear Su Lao Er apart.

The man looked around and said, "Why do I feel like there's something hidden in your words? Cui Yuxia, are you hiding something from me?"

"No, no, absolutely not."

Brother Cui immediately chimed in, "Brother-in-law, we're practically family now, how could my sister possibly hide it from you? Right, sister? Hey, sister, why are you crying? Don't cry..."

Cui Yuxia bit her lip, her eyes were red, and tears fell one by one.

She called out, "Brother Yan, I'm scared. It's only right to pay back debts, but my family really can't come up with that much money right now. I'm afraid you'll look down on me because of this, so... I'm sorry, just pretend we've never met."

As he spoke, he turned to leave.

"Sis, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Cui Xiaodi grabbed Cui Yuxia and pushed her towards the man, saying, "Your brother-in-law loves you so much. You're getting engaged and married soon. We're family. He'll definitely help you pay off the money. Don't say things like that and hurt his feelings..."

Su Lao Er raised an eyebrow, watching the siblings perform.

Like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, Su Laosan was amazed by the way the siblings worked together.

The man was clearly not so easily fooled. He frowned, glanced at Cui Xiaodi, and said, "Do you think I'm a sucker? I can help your family pay off this debt, consider it a temporary loan to you, but you have to pay me back later."

The siblings were both stunned. They looked at each other and stared at the man with slightly wide eyes.

Brother Cui said sheepishly, "Brother-in-law, it's just the cost of a meal..."

“Isn’t the cost of a meal money? My money doesn’t grow on trees,” the man said.

Brother Cui, "Aren't you and my sister getting married soon and becoming a family?"

“If we become family, then it’s your sister who becomes part of the Yan family. Your family still has to pay back the money you borrowed. Let’s keep things separate.”

After the man finished speaking, the siblings exchanged a knowing look.

Cui Yuxia nodded and said, "Yes, we will definitely pay this money back before we get married."

"Yuxia is still the most sensible one."

The man smiled at Cui Yuxia and gave Cui's younger brother a disdainful look.

Brother Cui was furious but dared not speak out, his face turning red with suppressed anger.

The three of them discussed it and the man looked at Su Lao Er, asking, "How much money do you owe me?"

“Four hundred,” Su Lao Er said.

The man grunted in response, pulled out a thick wallet, took out several hundred-yuan bills, and handed them over.

Su Lao Er reached out and took it, then called Su Lao San to leave.

Seeing the waiter bring over the lemonade, he took out a dollar from his pocket and put it on the table. He drank half a glass of lemonade and handed the rest to Su Lao San.

Su Laosan chuckled, tilted his head back and gulped down the whole drink, still holding the two lemon slices in his mouth.

He asked Su Lao Er, "Second Brother, do you want some?"

"No, let's go."

Su Lao Er took a step back in disgust, turned around and strode away.

Su Laosan popped a lemon slice into his mouth, his face contorted from the sourness. He called out twice but couldn't stop Su Laoer, so he hurriedly ran after him.

"Second brother, wait for me."

As he walked out of the hotel, Su Laosan spat out the lemon slices twice and muttered a complaint while looking at the hotel door.

"What is this? It's sour and disgusting."

Turning his head, he saw Su Lao Er about to cross the road to catch the bus, so he quickly caught up with him.

While waiting for the bus, he stared at Su Lao Er, pondering what had just happened. The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed, so he casually asked Su Lao Er.

"Second brother, are we just going to leave like this? Aren't you going to tell that man the truth?"

Su Lao Er looked at Su Lao San and said, "Why tell him? Our goal is money. Once we have the money, what does it matter to us how things develop afterward?"

"ah?!"

Su Laosan looked bewildered and said, "Don't you like that Cui Yuxia? Watching her fall into someone else's arms, you... feel comfortable?"

Su Lao Er turned his head and glared at him.

"What do you want to hear me say? You think you can just snatch someone back if they're not feeling well?"

Su Laosan let out a long, disgusted "Ugh," his eyebrows furrowing in obvious disdain. "Second brother, how many times have I told you? That woman isn't fit for marriage. Why won't you give up? You..."

Su Lao Er closed his eyes, “…”

"Su Fengtiao, shut the hell up, or I'll beat you up!"

Su Laosan kept his mouth shut, his eyes darting left and right. Seeing Su Laoer turn his head away, he smacked his lips and muttered under his breath, "Gotcha, got angry..."

Su Lao Er, "..."

The veins on his forehead throbbed as he raised his clenched fist at Su Laosan.

Su Laosan darted forward and boarded the bus that had just stopped, leaning against the window and calling out to him, "Second Brother, hurry up!"

Su Lao Er gave up struggling.

The two brothers took a bus and leisurely made their way back to their new home.

Several vegetable plots have been planted in the yard, and many seedlings have already been moved in.

Li Banxia and Brother Li were talking under the window of the west wing.

"Mom, Uncle, we're back."

Brother Li responded and told Su Lao Er to pack some clean clothes. "Just bring two sets. The army provides regular uniforms. We'll go to the hospital to see your third uncle later and have dinner together as a family. Tonight, you'll come with me to drive back to the army base."

"good."

Su Lao Er handed the money he had gotten back to Li Banxia and said, "Part of this money was my salary, and part of it was taken from Mom. I got it back from Cui Yuxia, and I have nothing to do with her anymore."

"Okay, I understand."

Li Banxia took the money, said nothing more, and told him to pack his things.

As Su Lao Er entered the room, Su Lao San began to gesticulate wildly, telling the two about Su Lao Er's battle against the three blind date partners. When he got to the part about Su Lao Er not being willing to reveal the truth, he leaned closer to Li Banxia.

I said to her, "Mom, do you think my second brother still has feelings for Cui Yuxia?"
