Chapter 187 I Deserve to Die

Li Banxia smiled self-deprecatingly. Why should she bother arguing with him about these things now?

She waved her hand, "Go find Erniu, explain things to her clearly, and don't let the girl feel insecure."

"good."

Su Laosan nodded hurriedly, lifted the front of the car and turned it around, changing direction. When he put his left foot on the pedal, he called out to Li Banxia again.

“Mom, we won’t move out to live separately. After Erniu and I get married, we’ll still live with you. Later, when I’ve made a lot of money, I’ll pay for us to move to a bigger house, and we’ll even reserve a place for Erge’s wedding…”

He stared at Li Banxia expectantly, not leaving until he received a response.

Li Banxia glanced at him, gave a noncommittal "hmm," and left with the matchmaker.

The matchmaker, riding his bicycle, spoke to Li Banxia, ​​"Li family girl, aren't you afraid that if you teach your child like this, your son and daughter-in-law will become estranged from you in the future?"

Whether or not they were estranged, Li Banxia didn't really care.

She smiled faintly and said, "That's their life. Whether I'm there or not won't affect their lives."

Similarly, this is her life, and she will live her life well whether they are there or not.

The matchmaker listened to her words and quietly clicked her tongue, "Young lady, you're so optimistic. You'll definitely have fewer conflicts with your mother-in-law in the future. I think the young lady from the Fang family cares about you a lot, so you two should be able to get along well."

Li Banxia smiled and nodded.

Over here, Su Laosan scratched his head, still feeling a little uneasy. Why did he feel that his mother didn't quite believe what he said? It must be because he was used to being lazy.

No, he needs to make more money quickly and do something to show his mother.

He doesn't want to end up like Su Xiaosi, Su Hongmei, and Su Hongying, children who are disliked by their mothers and have no mother's love. He doesn't want to suffer too much, okay?

Su Laosan took a deep breath, got on his bike, and headed towards the Fang family's house.

When we arrived at the Fang family's house, Fang Erniu was sitting under the shade of a tree not far from the door, watching with her little nephew as ants carried crumbs of steamed bun. The ants carried crumbs in pairs, lining up to deliver them to their hole not far away. The white crumbs in the dark patch looked like a string of unthreaded beads from a distance.

"Erniu".

Su Laosan parked the car against the wall, walked over, and called out.

Fang Erniu looked up blankly, paused for a moment when she saw him, and then asked with a smile, "Why are you back again?"

He glanced back the way he came, "Where's the old lady?"

"My mom went back first. I came back to find you." Su Laosan squatted down and looked at Fang Erniu.

Fang Erniu frowned slightly in confusion, "What is it?"

"I made a mistake just now, I'll come back and do it again."

Fang Erniu exclaimed "Ah!" and seeing the seriousness in Su Laosan's eyes, she immediately understood the meaning behind Su Laosan's words. Her smile deepened, and she shook her head.

She said, "I'm just a little unhappy that you didn't help me, I'm not angry."

"You're not angry because you like me."

Su Laosan shook his head, "It can't be like this. If I don't help you once or twice, you'll just be unhappy. But what if I do it three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten times? No matter how much you like me, I'll wear you down!"

Fang Erniu looked at him and shook her head again, "...It's really nothing."

"Erniu, I don't want you to be unhappy."

Su Laosan gripped her shoulders and said sternly, "That time with Lin Jiefang, you knew it was dangerous but still rushed to save me... I deserve to die! I'm so afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind! Erniu, come on, let's go find your younger brother's wife. I want to ask her myself why she said those things about you. You didn't do any farm work, but you did cook. During the busy farming season, they were working in the fields, and you did all the housework. Didn't she see that she hadn't eaten any of your cooking? You also took care of your sister-in-law's two nephews. If she didn't see that, she's blind!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Fang Erniu's shoulders and lifted her up.

"Su Laosan!"

Fang Erniu exclaimed "Oh!" as Su Laosan led her into the courtyard. She quickly turned back to her two nephews and said, "You two play here, don't go anywhere else."

The little nephew looked at each other, wiped his nose, and nodded, saying okay.

As the two entered the courtyard hand in hand, Grandpa and Grandma Fang were sitting under a tree in the yard, one enjoying the shade, and the other tapping a bed sheet by the well, talking to each other. When they saw them come in, they both smiled.

Grandma Fang said, "Young people really want to be together 24/7. They'll be fine after they get married."

Upon hearing this, Su Laosan led Fang Erniu over and called out to her grandparents.

"Grandpa and Grandma, I love Erniu. I want to be with her every day. I'll take her with me when I do business in the future. I feel so energetic doing everything when I'm with Erniu..."

Grandpa Fang laughed heartily.

I said to Grandma Fang, “Look, isn’t this just like when we were young? We went to work together in the fields, cooked together after work, and had endless things to talk about at night. We’ve never been apart all these years.”

"Yeah?"

Su Laosan smiled and said, "Then I will learn from Grandpa."

"Haha, good, good lad, you really are my grandson-in-law." Grandpa Fang laughed.

Grandma Fang laughed too, "That's what they mean by 'birds of a feather flock together'."

"...I think so too."

As Su Laosan was cheerfully coaxing the old couple, a burst of applause and a woman's crying suddenly came from Fang Xiaodi's room.

"...If you have the guts, hit me in the stomach and get rid of your Fang family's offspring..."

"You're absolutely unreasonable! What did my second sister ever do to you that you would insult her like that in front of your future mother-in-law?! Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you're pregnant? Let me tell you, if you dare ruin my second sister's marriage, I'll divorce you, and you can go back to where you came from!!"

It was Fang Xiaodi's voice.

The next second, the door to the room opened, and the young wife ran out crying.

She first scanned the yard, and when she saw Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang, she was about to rush over when she saw Su Laosan, who had returned, and Fang Erniu, who was standing aside watching her.

The young woman stumbled, cried out in alarm, and fell to the ground.

Fang Erniu quickly took two steps and pulled the woman up, but the young woman raised her hand and slapped her away, saying, "Don't touch me! Who wants your crocodile tears..."

What are you doing?

Su Laosan caught Fang Erniu as she stumbled backward and glared at his young wife.

"If Erniu hadn't helped you up, your belly would be on the ground by now. If you really don't want the baby in your belly, don't pin the blame on the Fang family!"

The young wife was stunned by his scolding. Fang Xiaodi chased after her, and only then did she realize what was happening. She spat at Su Laosan.

"Su Laosan, are you blind? Of all the women you could marry, you had to marry Fang Erniu, a lazy good-for-nothing who's also so plain-looking. She bullies my man and me all day long, do you even know that?!"

Fang Erniu, "..."

Her face darkened, and she glared at Fang Xiaodi, angrily saying, "When did I bully you or her? Fang Weidong, you better explain yourself to me!"
