Chapter 593 Not Helping

"...Okay, I'll go get it now."

Su Xiaosi's palms were sticky with sweat. After hanging up the phone, she wanted to dial Su Laoda's number, but her mind was a complete blank and she couldn't remember the contact number for Su Laosan's grocery store.

His eyes were bloodshot with anxiety. He raised his hand and slapped himself across the face to force himself to calm down.

After a while, he remembered a number and hurriedly dialed it with trembling hands. As soon as the call connected, a familiar voice came from the other end, "Li's Grocery Store, may I ask who you are...?"

"I am Su Fengtiao's younger brother, Su Yushun. I need to speak with him about a matter of life and death. Make him answer my call immediately!" Su Xiaosi couldn't help but shout.

The person on the other end of the phone was startled, put the receiver away, and waited for him to finish shouting, "...Please call back in ten minutes."

"Don't hang up, leave the phone and let Su Laosan answer it..."

Before I could finish speaking, the other end of the phone had already hung up.

Su Xiaosi gripped the microphone, her emotions collapsing to the point of cursing!

The more anxious he became, the more trouble he caused. He angrily slammed the microphone down, counted the watches on his wrist, and anxiously endured ten minutes before calling back as soon as the time was up.

The phone rang three times before being answered.

"Hello?"

Su Xiaosi grabbed the microphone, "Third Brother!"

"Um?"

Su Laosan frowned. "My employees said you're going to die. Your voice sounds very strong. Su Xiaosi, what kind of trouble are you up to now?"

"Third brother, save me! I've been set up! Someone wants to put me in jail."

Su Xiaosi's voice was filled with panic as she said, "...Go find my older brother. He's in the inspection team; he can help me..."

"How do you want your elder brother to help you?" Su Laosan asked in return.

Su Xiaosi told him about the idea Fei Wenzhou had given him and urged Su Laosan to go find Su Laoda as soon as possible.

"Your older brother won't help you."

Su Laosan sneered, "Big Brother has given you many chances, but you never listened to him. Now that disaster is upon you, you want to drag Big Brother down with you to save you? How dare you say such a thing?"

"Third Brother! I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Please help me this time, I promise I'll do whatever you ask me to do from now on, I..."

Upon hearing Su Laosan's tone, Su Xiaosi broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly swore an oath.

Su Laosan ground his back teeth and said in a deep voice, "Where were you all this time? When your older brother told you not to use his name to deceive your classmates and take their food and drinks, why didn't you listen? When your older brother told you to work and pay back the money, why didn't you listen? Now you want to listen, but it's too late..."

"Third Brother..."

"Don't call me third brother, I'm not your third brother!"

Su Laosan spat, "You're not even as good as Hongmei. She was bullied so badly by Su Youfu, yet she still knew that knowledge can change one's destiny. She worked herself to the bone to earn money and studied hard, ultimately defying fate! And you, on the other hand, think you're so smart, but your cleverness backfired! You've ruined your life! Nobody can help you now. You brought this on yourself. I'm hanging up. Don't bother your older brother. He doesn't owe you anything!"

"Third Brother! You can scold me all you want, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..."

Su Xiaosi wanted to beg for mercy, but Su Laosan had already hung up the phone with a 'bang'.

Su Xiaosi's hands were shaking violently. She pressed the hang-up button and redialed. The phone rang twice and then went into a busy tone. The phone line on the other end had been unplugged.

Fear surged over Su Xiaosi like a tidal wave, threatening to overwhelm her in an instant.

Su Xiaosi was terrified.

He slammed down the receiver, put his thumb in his mouth and bit his nail, his mind racing, trying to think of any other way to contact Boss Su. He thought of the health center's phone number, and when he thought of Li Banxia, ​​his heart skipped a beat.

They were all her children, so why was she so heartless as to only want her eldest brother, second brother, and third brother, and not him?

He's so smart; he's always been her pride and joy since she was a child.

If she had taken him with her, why would he have bothered to cheat his classmates out of money for a meal or a piece of clothing, and why would he have been taken advantage of?

The last thing she lacks right now is money!

Su Xiaosi was filled with hatred and resentment. She gritted her teeth, grabbed the receiver, and dialed the number of the health center.

I don't know if he was lucky or unlucky.

Just then, Boss Su was at the health center and received his call.

Upon hearing his voice, Su Xiaosi burst into tears, "Big brother, save me! I was wrong! I've been framed! Someone wants to put me in jail, big brother..."

"Don't panic, tell me slowly what happened," Boss Su asked, his brows furrowed as he gripped the microphone.

Su Xiaosi recounted his experiences over the past six months, explaining that he had become accustomed to accepting money, but in his words, he was framed and had no idea what was going on. Boss Su knew he wasn't telling the truth after hearing just a few words, but that didn't matter anymore.

"Xiao Si, you've broken the law..."

Su Laoda felt a sense of destiny, a sense that he had been living in fear had finally come true. "I can't help you, you... go and turn yourself in, and try to get leniency..."

"No, brother, I can't go to jail. You're in the inspection team, you can help me. As long as you turn a blind eye during the inspections, I won't be held responsible..."

Su Xiaosi eagerly relayed the idea Fei Wenzhou had given him to Su Laoda.

Boss Su looked at the microphone in disbelief and asked him, "Have you considered what I would face if I helped you cover it up and got caught? Harboring a criminal is the same crime as the perpetrator. Besides, who told you it was just me? Every ledger is only valid if at least two people simultaneously confirm that there are no problems. Didn't the person who gave you this idea tell you that?"

Su Xiaosi was speechless.

He didn't know.

"What should I do? What should I do? I..."

Boss Su said again, "Go and turn yourself in, and try to get leniency."

"No……"

"Then I have nothing more to say." Old Su sighed. He was about to say something when he looked up and saw Old Su Third rushing over. When he saw Old Su Third holding a phone and asking if he was Su Xiao Si, he spat after receiving an affirmative answer, "...Hang up now! He can't go to jail himself, he wants to drag you down with him, he's crazy!"

The eldest brother hummed in agreement and hung up the phone in front of the third brother.

Su Laosan grabbed the telephone cord and pulled it out forcefully.

With a cold face, he instructed Su Laoda, "Brother, this matter is of utmost importance. You can't be soft-hearted anymore. You can't be soft-hearted about this. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your sister-in-law and the two children."

"I know, I didn't agree to his request, and I won't soften my heart."

Su Laoda smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He was just a little sad. If he had kept a closer eye on things and watched Xiao Si return the money to his classmate, would he have ended up like this because of money?

Or he could provide him with the same support he gave Hongmei...

Boss Su closed his eyes.

They provided it.

He even went to the shop where Su Xiaosi worked and told the owner that he would pay part of the part-time fee. As long as Su Xiaosi worked there, he wouldn't lack money for food and drink, and at least his living expenses would be covered. He had calculated everything carefully.

But Su Xiaosi only went for a few days and then stopped.

He would rather cheat and swindle from his classmates than rely on his own efforts.
