Chapter 48 Calling the Police to Arrest People

Su Lao Er's eyes reddened, feeling that the whole world owed him something, and that his father understood him.

His mother is biased.

Old Man Su glared at Li Banxia and accused her, "Li Banxia, ​​don't go too far! Did your second son commit murder or arson or something? Are you going to drive him to the brink of extinction? You don't even want your son anymore? Let me tell you, if you don't want him, I will!"

“Fine, you can have it.” Li Banxia said readily.

Old Su choked, "No, you're just making a scene, aren't you? It's only a thousand or so yuan. The eldest son and his wife won't lose a hair if they lose this money, but the second son will lose his wife if he loses this money. There's a difference in priorities! Why can't the eldest brother and sister-in-law give way to their younger brother?"

"Stop trying to sow discord! Whether the second son gets married or not has absolutely nothing to do with his elder brother and sister-in-law!"

Li Banxia looked at Old Man Su coldly. Ever since she learned that he had been entangled with He Taohua for a lifetime in his previous life, she felt that he was dirty and her eyes would feel disgusted just looking at him.

Old Man Su spat, "How can it be unrelated? The family hasn't separated yet..."

"When you took the money to support the widow and her son, did you ever think that if your son lost the money, your wife would be gone? You're so generous with other people's money, and you still have the nerve to talk about the eldest son and his wife? I spit on you!"

Want the second son to resent the eldest son and his wife? Dream on!

Li Banxia stared coldly at Old Man Su with eyes full of indifference, wishing she could drag the dog of a man who was trying to divert his hatred to hell.

Inside the room, Su Xiaosi made a strange "Hmm?" sound.

He muttered to himself, "What's wrong with Second Brother today? Why is he so clueless? He usually seems quite shrewd. Why is he so greedy for money?"

Su Xiaosi only learned last night from Su Hongmei and Su Laosan that her mother had been supporting the family all these years, and the nominal head of the family was just a figurehead.

If Su Lao Er really chooses his biological father, then it's hard to say what his future will be like.

But his mother found it even stranger. Wasn't she usually most afraid of her second brother causing trouble?

Why does it feel like a funeral procession today, with the message "If you want to die, I'll stab you"?

Su Xiaosi's perspective is purely that of an outsider, observing Su Lao Er's theft of his elder brother and sister-in-law's money.

Su Hongmei said to him, "Mom hasn't fed Dad for the past few days. He's been eating takeout. If Second Brother goes with Dad, he can eat good food like Dad every day..."

As he spoke, he swallowed enviously.

Su Xiaosi raised her eyelids, glanced at her slightly naive younger sister, smiled, and said nothing.

"Knock knock"

Su Laosan had somehow wandered into their room and asked them in a low voice, "Do you think we should go and try to persuade them?"

"What advice are you giving?"

Su Xiaosi looked at him and said, "Can the younger generation persuade our parents of their decisions? Maybe their arguments are pre-arranged, and they're deliberately trying to provoke my second brother."

Su Hongmei and Su Laosan exchanged a glance and both shook their heads.

"Hmm?" Su Xiaosi frowned slightly.

Su Laosan scoffed and said, "Su Xiaosi, can you stop pretending to be so smart? Mom was beaten up by Dad like that, and they still managed to conspire together to put on a show for us? How much of a drama queen are they? Even someone as stupid as me can see it, don't tell me you, who claims to be a child prodigy, can't?!"

"Third brother, are you calling yourself stupid?"

Su Xiaosi's lips curled up, wanting to laugh but forcibly suppressing it, and she coughed lightly, "Why don't you go and set an example..."

"Hey, you little rascal."

Su Laosan spat at him, saying disdainfully, "I've already told you I'm stupid, and you still want an idiot to go? Do you want to see me make a fool of myself? Do you want me to get scolded by my parents?! Why don't you go instead!"

"Because I know my parents are already on the verge of a fight and I can't stop them." Su Xiaosi shrugged and spread her hands.

Old Su let out a long "sigh" and said, "If you keep going like this, you'll get a real beating from Mom sooner or later, the kind that's like a sizzling tongs. To this day, there are still two people who were beaten until they bled from Mom's beatings..."

Su Laosan gestured with his chin to let Su Xiaosi see Su Laoer and Su Laotou. There was a strange sense of pride and smugness in his eyes. He was smart enough to think that even if he was beaten a few times, his mother would never have the heart to make him bleed.

What does this tell us?

This shows that his mother loves him more than his second child!

Su Laosan gave a light snort and puffed out his chest.

Su Xiaosi was even more confused. Why was his third brother suddenly so arrogant?

"Third brother, fourth brother, stop arguing, Mom has spoken..." Su Hongmei called out to the two of them.

The three of them turned to look at the courtyard.

“…Su Min’an, I am extremely disappointed in you. I don’t want to waste any more words with you. You must hand over the money to your elder brother and sister-in-law right now, immediately. This matter can still be resolved in this courtyard. Otherwise, you will face legal consequences for what you did today…”

Li Banxia's face remained expressionless as she simply stared at Su Lao Er.

Su Lao Er knew that if he was smart, he would give the money away and apologize. His mother would forgive him quickly. If he didn't give it to her, she might be angry with him for months on end, and it would take who knows how long before she would help him place the deposit.

But once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever.

Without this thousand, he really couldn't marry Cui Yuxia. The Cui family is greedy; they wouldn't agree to let Yuxia marry him if he didn't have the money.

"Mom, no matter how much you force me or threaten me, it's no use. I will absolutely not return this money!" Su Lao Er gritted his teeth and turned his head away in refusal.

Li Banxia nodded slowly, "Very good. I've given you several chances already. Once you've made your decision, don't regret it."

Su Lao Er remained silent.

Li Banxia turned her head away and looked in the direction of the three people watching the show, calling out, "Third brother, come out."

"ah?"

Su Laosan pointed to himself. No, he hadn't done anything...

Su Laosan wanted to slap himself; he'd gotten too caught up in watching the spectacle.

Damn it, his mother is going to take her anger out on him.

“…Mom.” Su Laosan walked out quickly, forced a smile, and called out dryly.

Li Banxia nodded, "Go to the street and call the police. Just say your house was burgled and 1,200 yuan was stolen. Ask the police to come and arrest the thief."

"ah!"

Su Laosan was stunned. He glanced at Su Laoer, then at the eldest son and his wife, and then turned to Li Banxia. "No, Mom, are we really going to call the police to arrest Second Brother?"

"Yes." Li Banxia's voice was so calm that no emotion could be detected.

Su Lao Er's vision blurred, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Mom, are you crazy? You're going to ruin me!"

"Your mother is just trying to scare you. You just take the money and don't give it to her. See if she's willing to ruin her own son's life..." Old Su said nonchalantly, adding fuel to the fire.

Su Lao Er looked at Su Lao Tou with anxious eyes, wanting to get a definite answer from him, "...Right?"

Old Man Su gave him confidence and nodded affirmatively.

Su Lao San was speechless and rolled his eyes at Su Lao Er. "Second brother, are you stupid? You actually believe what Dad said? You didn't listen to a word Mom said! Dad's just talking big! Anyway, if you don't pay, you'll be the one arrested, not him! Big brother, don't just stand there dumbfounded, come over and talk to Mom..."
