Chapter 368 Why don't you stab yourself too?

Li Banxia couldn't swallow this insult!

She couldn't wait until the next day, nor did she want to.

After leaving the police station, they had Boss Su take his wife and send the two children home. Then they took Xu Ying's car and drove straight to the residential area to settle scores with Su Youfu.

Su Laoda and his wife exchanged a glance and said, "Mom, I'm going too. The matter started because of my son, Le Bao. I want to ask him why in person."

Li Banxia looks at Xu Ying.

Xu Ying's lips twitched. "...I'm not going. I'll accompany Jian Shu to take the kids home. I'll have my driver take you. There are three people who can squeeze into the back seat. Li Banxia, ​​you can sit in the passenger seat. That's just enough for the four of you, mother and children."

"good."

Xu Ying turned around and limped back to the police station to borrow a phone to call the driver to come over. The eldest daughter-in-law took Mingwa, and when Xu Ying came over and went to hug Lebao, Lebao clung to Su Lao Er's neck and wouldn't let go.

Xu Ying stood on tiptoe, leaned close to the little one's head, and coaxed her softly. The warm breath from her voice and breathing hit Su Lao Er's neck, making the hairs on his body stand on end.

He stepped back, turned to look at Xu Ying, and said, "Never mind, your knees are sore, I'll carry her. You wait for us at home for a while, and I'll get you some medicine when we get back."

Xu Ying looked up at him and realized that this man was really tall, at least 1.86 meters. She wondered what he ate to grow so tall.

The eldest daughter-in-law hurriedly said, "We have some spare medicine at home. Shall I apply the medicine for Sister Xu Ying? I haven't properly thanked Sister Xu Ying for saving my baby Le Bao yet..."

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Xu Ying waved her hand, unwilling to admit that her performance was affected by the high heels, otherwise she would not have injured her knees at all.

The car arrived quickly, and Li Banxia got in and drove her sons to the family quarters.

The gate to the courtyard where they used to live was ajar.

Su Laosan tentatively kicked the door lightly, and the door opened with a thud.

Only the lights were on in the courtyard. Su Hongmei was squatting by the hand pump washing clothes. At a glance, her hands, soaked in the water, were red and swollen from the cold, and her face was cracked from the cold, looking painful.

Su Xiaosi sat wrapped in a quilt at the doorway, reading a book in the dim light; the room was pitch black.

Boss Su was stunned for a moment, then called out, "Little Fourth, Little Sister, what's going on with you...?"

Hearing the noise, Su Hongmei turned to look at the courtyard gate.

Upon seeing the eldest, second, and third brothers of the Su family, his eyes immediately welled up with tears. "Eldest brother, second brother, third brother..."

When she opened her mouth to call out "Mom," she found that Li Banxia hadn't even glanced at her and had gone straight to her room.

Su Laosan hurriedly asked, "Where is Su Youfu?"

Su Xiaosi looked up at him and saw Li Banxia approaching. Her breath caught in her throat, and she suddenly gripped the book in her hand tightly. She opened her mouth as if to say something.

Sensing that the group had come with ill intentions, he gave a mocking smile and said, "They're not here. They're in He Taohua and Lin Jiefang's courtyard, spending the New Year with their mother."

Without a moment's hesitation, Li Banxia turned and left.

"mom!"

Su Hongmei stood up, took two steps and called out to Li Banxia.

Li Banxia paused, and Su Hongmei cried, "Mom, take me away. I don't want to stay with Dad anymore. I can't take it anymore. Look at my hands, my face, they're all frostbitten. And my feet, they're itchy, painful, and swollen. Dad would rather spend money on alcohol and lose big bets than buy me clothes or shoes. I'm still wearing the clothes you bought me when you were home..."

Su Hongmei sobbed, her voice filled with despair and pain.

"Mom, I was wrong. I will definitely respect my sister-in-law and not speak ill of her anymore. I will go and kowtow to my third uncle to apologize. I will do whatever you ask me to do from now on. I can do housework too. My dad and fourth brother do nothing. They make me cook and wash clothes every day. My hands are so frozen, and they still make me wash them. Mom, please take me with you..."

Li Banxia turned around and looked at her.

“I’ve given you countless chances, but you haven’t changed. You’re bowing your head now only because you’ve become the one being exploited and oppressed, not because you’ve realized your mistakes. Su Hongmei, you chose this path, and you have to keep going even if you have to crawl on your knees. Don’t beg me, begging me won’t help.”

Li Banxia turned and left, and Su Hongmei burst into tears, chasing after him.

She said, "Mom, my dad and grandma won't let me go to high school. They say I'm a money-losing girl who'll get married sooner or later, and that all that schooling and studying is useless! Mom, you told me and my older sister that studying helps us understand things, that studying makes us progress, and that studying gives us more choices. Mom, I want to study! Can you continue to support my schooling? I can eat less and buy fewer clothes, Mom..."

Li Banxia ignored him and walked straight towards He Taohua's courtyard.

"You can afford to run a health spa, so why won't you give me money for books, tuition, and living expenses?!"

Su Hongmei broke down and screamed.

"Li Banxia, ​​how can you be so selfish? I'm your own daughter, why do you make me live such a miserable life? If you didn't want to raise me, why did you give birth to me in the first place?! Ahh! Li Banxia, ​​I hate you, I hate you so much!"

Li Banxia stopped and looked back at her.

Su Hongmei was clinging to the doorframe, screaming hysterically. When she saw Li Banxia turn around, she paused, pouted, looked at her pitifully, and sobbed, "Mom..."

Li Banxia looked at her and said, "I did give birth to you, but you are not just my child. You are also Su Youfu's child. I have taken care of your food, drink, and daily needs for eleven years. You only have seven years left until you become an adult. He doesn't care about you anymore, and you blame me? I raised a dog for eleven years, and it knew to wag its tail around me and make me happy. What about you? Do you hate me? Do you think I don't hate you?!"

She gave a cold laugh. "Apart from your eldest brother and sister-in-law, which one of you truly cares about me?! You don't care whether I live or die, so why should I care about you?! I gave birth to you and raised you all, just so you could point your fingers at me, curse me, and say you hate me?!"

"...Let me tell you, Su Hongmei, if you're so capable, go yell at your dad, yell at your grandma! Aren't you good at making a scene and cursing? Aren't you good at stirring up trouble and being sarcastic? Why do you only dare to be impotent and furious in front of me?! If you're so capable, go make a scene at your dad's workplace, make a scene at the entrance of He Taohua Courtyard, and get your dad's boss to stand up for you, get the people in the residential area to speak up for you! Instead of finding a way to solve your own predicament, you only think about shirking responsibility and pushing everything onto me? Then you deserve not to go to school!"

Su Hongmei's eyes were red from being scolded as she watched Li Banxia's departing figure.

She shouted, "You're my mother, you should support me!"

This time, Li Banxia did not look back.

Su Xiaosi stared at her and smiled mockingly, saying, "She never intended to care about us again from the day she left. You really think that just because you portray yourself as so miserable, she will take care of you? Dream on."

"Why doesn't she care about me? She also said she didn't want my older sister anymore, but didn't she still care about her?" Su Hongmei was unwilling to accept this.

Su Xiaosi glared at her and said, "Why don't you stab yourself too, and see if she'll be afraid you'll die and send you to the hospital?!"
