Chapter 137 Whether it was a casual remark or a test, you know in your heart.

"I knew Mom wouldn't be willing to part with me..." Xi said happily.

"As long as the woman's family is willing to marry her off to someone like you, I won't say a word. I'll immediately separate you from the family, and you can take your wife and live separately. Don't follow me anymore, anyway..."

Li Banxia's eyes were indifferent, suppressing the unknown emotions in her heart, her chest heaving, "...I don't expect you to take care of me in my old age."

"Oh no, Mom!"

Su Laosan almost knelt down before Li Banxia, ​​"Mom, I want to take care of you in your old age. Erniu and I both want to take care of you in your old age. Erniu will definitely be filial to you. We can't separate the family. If we separate, how will we survive with our children?"

These words are tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

Li Banxia was so shocked that her mind was filled with the ugly faces of her children in front of her before she died.

One said they wouldn't care, another said they wouldn't care either. He said he couldn't raise her, she said it wasn't her responsibility, she said, "Mom, if you stay with me, I'll freeze to death in a foreign land..."

Li Banxia gripped the table leg so tightly that her fingernails turned white. She took several deep breaths, but still couldn't suppress her body's stress response.

He erupted like a volcano, giving Su Laosan a cold laugh.

He yelled, "You're not even married yet, and you've already planned to make me support your wife and kids! Isn't it enough that I've supported you all? What do you take me for? Can't I have a life of my own? Am I just destined to be your slave, tormented like a beast of burden for life?!"

"Su Fengtiao, don't you know why I divorced that bastard Su Youfu? You want me to be your Su family's free maid? Why should I? Do I owe you anything?! Get out! Get the hell out of here!"

By the end, Li Banxia's voice was hoarse, and the fierce intensity of her shouting terrified Su Laosan.

He stumbled back to the courtyard gate, trying to persuade Li Banxia to calm down, "Mom, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't be angry, calm down and rest for a while..."

Li Banxia grabbed a Xinhua Dictionary and threw it at them.

"roll!"

Su Laosan covered his head and fled in a sorry state. He stood at the gate and looked into the courtyard, when Li Banxia threw a brick at him again.

It slammed against the door with a loud thud.

Su Laosan no longer dared to harbor any illusions. He obediently shrank to a place where Li Banxia could not see him, sighing and scratching his head.

When Su Laoda and his wife got off work, they saw Su Laosan squatting in the corner of the wall not far from the gate of the courtyard.

Boss Su walked over and asked him, "What are you doing squatting here?"

"I angered my mom, and she kicked me out."

When Su Laosan saw Su Laoda, it was like seeing a savior. "Big brother, you must help me. Mom loves you the most now... and your sister-in-law."

"Tell me what happened first?" Boss Su asked warily.

Su Laosan recounted what had happened, then guiltily offered his explanation, "I really just said it offhand. I was thinking that Mom had never complained about eating and drinking at our house all these years..."

Boss Su's face instantly darkened.

The eldest daughter-in-law frowned, looking at Su Laosan, "Whether you said it casually or deliberately tested her, you know in your heart. You're betting that Mom is your biological mother, that you're her own son, that your child calls her 'grandmother,' but when things really get tough, Mom won't be able to bear to leave either of you. In the end, Mom will be urging you to find work while supporting your whole family. And you still dare to say you said it casually?!"

The eldest son's wife grew angrier as she spoke, and glared fiercely at Su Laosan.

Su Laosan lowered his head.

He said, "Now I know Mom doesn't want me to, but I'll find a job, okay? Please stop nagging me."

"Su Fengtiao, what kind of attitude is this?!"

The eldest daughter-in-law, standing up for her mother-in-law, pointed at him and raised her voice several octaves, "Who are you trying to impress? Who found you this job? Who earns your money? Do you give us your money? Do you give it to Mom? No way! The money you earn is for supporting yourself, your wife, and your children. What does it have to do with us? Don't act like we're forcing you. What's the difference between you and someone who's taken advantage and is now acting innocent?!"

After saying that, she glared at Su the eldest and said indignantly, "Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, and several uncles are all upright people. How come the Su family members only bully Mom? What kind of genes did you inherit? You are so annoying!"

Speaking of things she disliked, she even gave Boss Su a push and strode into the yard with a fierce yet cute expression.

The two brothers were left staring at each other not far from the courtyard gate.

The eldest brother coughed lightly and said, "Your sister-in-law is right. The money you earn from your work supports your family. Mom raised us all these years, and it's time for us to repay her. What you said... was indeed inappropriate."

"But, elder brother..."

Su Laosan was on the verge of tears. "The thought of working myself to the bone all day just to earn so little money makes me not want to do it anymore. Is there no other way? Do I really have to earn this money myself?"

"You want to learn farming from your great-uncle if you don't want to make money? You can't endure that hardship."

No offense to Su Laosan, but with his physique, he couldn't even withstand the drought and the rush to irrigate and harvest in May and June.

But I can't just abandon my own brother.

If he can persuade people, his mother won't have to worry so much.

Su Laoda squatted down and patted Su Laosan on the shoulder.

He coaxed, "Are you sure the Fang family wants their daughter to marry someone who is ignorant, idle, has no proper job, and can't even support himself? Surely not? Even if they were willing, are you sure that wouldn't be ruining their young lady's life? You have nothing to offer, are you really going to let her starve with you?"

Su Laosan grabbed Su Laoda's trouser leg in distress, "Big brother, what you said is just like Mom's. The northwest wind won't cure hunger, and I don't want Erniu to go hungry with me."

Seeing that he was somewhat receptive to what he was being said, Boss Su sighed with relief.

She said, "Then you should listen to your mother and find a job that can support your wife and children."

Su Laosan stared longingly at Su Laoda.

Boss Su immediately understood what he meant; he was still complaining that the job was tiring and didn't pay much, and he didn't want to do it anymore.

The eldest brother was so angry he was speechless, and he lightly tapped the third brother several times.

"Alright, alright, you, squat here and think it over carefully before you come in..."

At the same time, the Fang family was also embroiled in an unprecedented war.

It wasn't until Fang Erniu's generation that the Fang family had a daughter, so everyone in the Fang family doted on her.

But now, that identity doesn't work anymore.

Grandpa Fang was so angry that he slammed his pipe on the chair, making a loud banging sound. "This marriage is absolutely not going to happen!"

Mr. Fang nodded.

"We don't expect him to be very successful, but at least he should be able to support you. Now... sigh, what kind of situation is this?!"

Fang's mother's expression turned even more unpleasant.

She finally gave birth to a girl for the Fang family, and for so many years she has stood tall in front of her sisters-in-law. Her parents-in-law are willing to give her a good face because of Erniu.

Now!

This brat actually dared to openly defy her in-laws, saying she wouldn't marry anyone but that street urchin?!

She's so angry!

Later on, she'll be laughed to death by her sisters-in-law!
