Chapter 537 Big Brother, why are you swearing?

"careful!"

Su Lao Er stepped forward, bent down, grabbed the little guy by the back of his collar, lifted him up, and held him in his arms with one hand.

"dad!"

The little guy was startled and hugged Su Lao Er's neck, his face turning pale.

Su Lao Er kissed him on the cheek. "Were you scared?"

The little one nodded, then looked at Xu Ying and the baby in her belly, "Mommy, little brother..."

"Mom's fine, and my little brother's too..."

Xu Ying smiled and comforted him, but then suddenly realized something and asked, "Little Yuejin, you said Mommy is carrying a little brother?"

Su Jiayue nodded.

Xu Ying's eyes lit up slightly as she looked at Su Lao Er.

Su Lao Er put his arm around her waist, leaned in, and kissed her on the cheek.

"My parents will be very happy."

Xu Ying hummed in agreement.

Although her parents did not discriminate against girls and treated her well, they still held onto the deep-seated Chinese belief that a life complete only with both a son and a daughter.

However, Xu's father felt sorry for Xu's mother and only wanted Xu Ying as his child.

Knowing that their first child with the surname Xu is their grandson, the elderly couple will be overjoyed. This... can be considered as indirectly fulfilling their long-held wish.

She was happy that it was a boy.

Because she is a woman, she knows that for women to live well, they need to put in several times or even ten times more effort than men.

In many people's minds, women are merely tools for bearing children, born to marry, have children, be good wives and mothers, and spend their entire lives revolving around the family.

It has been overlooked that women also have the right to pursue their own value.

She was lucky to be born into the Xu family and to grow up lovingly supported by her parents, but that failed marriage still haunts her like a nightmare.

No matter how outstanding she is or how good her family background is, she still can't escape being pointed at and gossiped about because she can't have children.

Back then, everyone in the workplace could point fingers at her and say things like, "Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no offspring; what kind of woman are you if you can't have children?"

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that her expression was off, Su Lao Er frowned. "You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

Xu Ying snapped out of her daze and glanced at Su Lao Er, whose eyes were full of concern.

"No, I was just thinking about some unhappy things from the past. Let's go, don't keep your sister-in-law and the others waiting."

Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Su Lao Er nodded and put his arm around her to join Su Lao Da, Yao Jian Shu, and the others.

Su Laosan opened the box, looked at the parts scattered on the ground, and waved to Su Laoer, "Second brother, what is this thing? How do I fix it?"

"There are instructions inside. Just follow the instructions to assemble it and you can start playing."

Su Lao Er helped Xu Ying to sit down in the pavilion, greeted Yao Jianshu, and then went out to help.

The three brothers each assembled one of the three large boxes, which contained three large toy cars with steering wheels that could be driven.

Le Bao'er happily jumped around the car.

Mingwa held Su Jiayue's hand and squatted down to watch the group carpool.

Once the cars were assembled, the three children clapped their hands happily, each choosing one to sit in and drive around wobbling.

Su Laosan wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Su Laoer, "Second Brother, this thing doesn't look cheap. Where did you get it?"

“My father-in-law asked someone to bring it from Hong Kong and Taiwan.”

The three brothers watched the three little ones drive toy cars. Mingwazi took good care of his younger siblings, and his serious and meticulous manner was very similar to that of Su Laoda when he was a child.

They were the same age, but when he fell down, he would just cry with his mouth wide open. His older brother, however, used all his strength to pull him up from the ground, wipe his tears, and take his hand to go home.

Su Lao Er looked at Mingwa, sighed, and his eyes softened considerably. He then turned to look at Su Lao Da.

Boss Su looked back in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Su Lao Er shook his head.

"By the way, I'm still very worried about Xiao Si's situation..."

As soon as Su Lao Da opened his mouth, Su Lao Er and Su Lao San looked at him disapprovingly.

"Big brother, didn't we agree to leave him alone?" Su Laosan frowned.

The eldest brother sighed, "Let me finish what I have to say. Xiao Si has been using my name to collect money and gifts from his classmates. If we don't do anything about it and let him continue to act under my name, the hole will only get bigger and bigger. Once he's exposed and investigated, Su Youfu won't help him pay off his debts, whether he has money or not. He has nothing else to rely on but us and Mom. Third brother, your grocery store and Mom's health center are the most obvious targets!"

“...If I don’t help him pay back the money, he might be expelled from school and his future will be ruined. Then he will come looking for Mom. Mom finally has a few days of peace and quiet. I don’t want him to bother Mom. Helping him pay back the money...that’s hard-earned money. Why should we give it to him for nothing? I just can’t understand why.”

Su Laosan glared, "Of course that's not appropriate! He barely even called me 'brother' when we met, and he looked down on me like that. I don't want to help him cover his debts! Besides, he has no respect for Mom at all. Why should Mom pay off his debts? No way!"

"I agree!"

Su Lao Er succinctly stated, "Nobody's money comes from thin air. He is responsible for his own actions, and we will not pay for them."

“Yes!” Old Su echoed.

Boss Su nodded. "That's why I said I'd go talk to him. We need to make him realize that if he doesn't stop, he'll ruin his future."

"Big brother, is he even listening to me?"

Su Lao Er's words left Su Lao Da speechless.

Su Laosan pursed his lips and answered for Su Laoda, "He won't listen!"

"Brother, if you trust me, let's give him a strong dose of medicine," Su Lao Er said after thinking for a moment.

Boss Su looked at him and asked, "What?"

"...Have someone slip a note into his book, saying that they know he has a falling out with his family, that his family doesn't care about his life or death, that no one will back him up, and that if he doesn't want to be exposed, he should return all the money he's spent on his classmates over the years, compensate for the items at their original price, and give him a one-year deadline. During this period, he shouldn't use his older brother's name to commit fraud again. Otherwise, they should write a letter of complaint to the school, letting all the teachers and students know who he is, ruining his reputation, and preventing him from even getting his university diploma."

Su Laosan's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up.

He said, "That's good. We have to be ruthless when dealing with someone like Su Xiaosi! But, Second Brother, a year is a bit long. It's March now, and there are still nine months until New Year's Day. That's enough time for him to make money. Let's just settle the accounts at the end of the year."

Su Lao Er thought it was feasible and nodded.

The two brothers turned to look at Su Laoda at the same time.

Boss Su frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then nodded.

Su Lao Er and Su Lao San exchanged a glance.

Boss Su asked, "What?"

Su Laosan grinned.

He said, “Brother, you’re not as old-fashioned as you used to be. If this were before, you would definitely say no, we are brothers from the same mother, we should try to influence him with love…”

Su Laoda was speechless.

Su Laosan chuckled twice, and Su Laoer glanced at him and laughed as well.

The eldest brother, Su, shook his head helplessly and said, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. Xiao Si is prone to getting stuck on things, and ordinary methods will definitely not work on him. If we can influence him with love, he won't think that everything his family does is a matter of course."

Su Lao Er's smile vanished instantly.

Su Laosan also touched his nose dejectedly and muttered something.

"Brother, you can talk, but why are you swearing? Everyone else in this family is an ingrate..."

Boss Su, "..."
