Chapter 605 We can cooperate.

"Looks like he hasn't learned his lesson!"

Lin Jiefang's face twitched, and he pursed his lips as he met Su Laosan's gaze. After a moment, he gave in.

Suppressing the humiliation, she forced a bitter smile. "Third brother, we grew up together. I've already been punished for my mistakes, why do you have to say such things to humiliate me?"

Su Laosan chuckled coldly.

"...I was wrong before, I apologize to you, I hope you will give me a chance to make amends and stop torturing me like this, okay?"

Lin Jiefang glanced at the three brothers and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I truly treated Uncle Youfu like my own father. You may not think Uncle Youfu was a good father, but I believe that all the happiness I had in my childhood came from Uncle Youfu..."

这话，让没有感受到苏有福父爱的兄弟仨对视一眼，苏老三撸着袖子想揍人。

"You think you're so great, huh? You're deliberately trying to provoke us with those words, aren't you?"

Lin Jiefang took a step back, concealing the mockery in his eyes, and said, "Don't be angry. You look down on him, but I'll be filial to him on your behalf. Actually... we can cooperate."

Su Laosan chuckled.

"Cooperate? Are you crazy or are we crazy? What's the point of cooperating with someone like you..."

“Uncle Youfu is old and in poor health. After coming out of the operating room this time, he might not even be able to take care of himself anymore. The old lady is too old to take care of him, right?”

Lin Jiefang suddenly turned serious, glanced at Old Lady Su, then shifted his gaze to Su Laosan's face, "...Laosan, you can't just stand by and watch him eat, drink, and relieve himself in bed, can you? Even if you hire a caregiver for him, you'll have to pay them, right? I don't want much, just a thousand a month..."

"no!"

The three brothers were shocked by Lin Jiefang's thought process, but before they could object, He Taohua jumped out and expressed her displeasure.

“Son, you’re destined for great things, how can you become a caregiver? No, I don’t agree.”

Lin Jiefang frowned, his eyes flashing darkly as he quickly glanced at He Taohua. "Mom, I'm discussing this with the third son and the others. Don't say anything yet."

"Discuss what?!"

Su Laosan spat at him, "You're dreaming! You really treat your own father like a son, but you're pouring alcohol down his throat? I can tell you're up to no good. Lin Jiefang, you'd better pray that Su Youfu comes out still sober, otherwise, you and your mother can expect to be fired."

"What gives you the right to kick us out?"

He Taohua's expression changed. "Su Youfu said we can stay here, and we can stay as long as we want. You have no right to kick us out!"

Su Lao Er scoffed coldly from the side.

He said, "You can try and see if we have the right to kick you out."

He Taohua immediately shut up.

She was a little afraid of Su Lao Er, not only because Su Lao Er had been a troublemaker since childhood, but also because she knew that he was now an official, married Xu Ying, and had a son for the Xu family, who treated him like a treasure.

She was afraid that Su Lao Er would retaliate.

"son……"

He Taohua hid behind Lin Jiefang.

Lin Jiefang glanced at the three brothers, then fixed his gaze on the eldest brother, Su. "Brother, hiring a caregiver might not be as thorough as what we do, don't you think?"

Meeting his gaze, Boss Su said coldly, "If Su Youfu suffers any accident because of your forced drinking this time, you can expect to go back to jail."

"Big brother..."

Lin Jiefang's expression changed drastically upon hearing his sudden remark.

Lin Jiefang clenched his fist, gritted his teeth impatiently, and sneered, "Big brother, you're really different from before."

Boss Su looked at him with a cool gaze.

He chuckled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and said, "Lin Jiefang, you're still the same as before. After so many years in prison, you haven't learned a thing. Didn't you watch the news in jail? Don't you know that the country is developing and society is moving forward? People should look forward too! Stop with your little tricks!"

Lin Jiefang's face turned pale with anger.

He never expected that the most honest and easy-going person in the past would now speak so bluntly and so stubbornly.

Looking at Su Lao Er and Su Lao San, who were standing half a step behind Su Lao Da, I almost gritted my teeth.

A wealthy businessman from Beijing, a government office director, a wife working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Xu family elders, the top official in Yan City, Boss Su… they certainly have the capital to be arrogant.

Lin Jiefang turned his head and glared at He Taohua.

He complained that He Taohua had such a beautiful face and had been by Su Youfu's side for so many years, so why did she only give birth to him?

If he had a few brothers and sisters, he wouldn't have ended up in jail without anyone getting him out!

Not only did he serve an extra year in prison, but he also became disconnected from society after his release. When he tried to find a job, the three Su brothers held him back. As the three Su brothers prospered, his future seemed increasingly bleak.

"Son, what's wrong?"

Puzzled, He Taohua clung to Lin Jiefang's arm and asked.

Lin Jiefang pulled his arm back and said stiffly, "It's nothing."

Turning back to look at his brothers, he said, "Now that you're here, there's nothing more for me and Mom to do here. We'll be leaving now."

He turned and left.

He Taohua exclaimed "Yes!" and hurriedly jogged to catch up.

As the mother and son were about to turn the corner, Su Laosan called out, "Where are you going? I called the police on my way here. The police are on their way. You are suspected of forcing Su Youfu, who is unable to take care of himself, to drink alcohol. Before he leaves the operating room and is out of danger, you... will have to report to the police station first."

"I'm not going!"

He Taohua's face turned pale. She pointed at Lin Jiefang in a panic and shrieked, "I didn't force him to drink! Jiefang made Su Youfu drink the wine. I just poured him some wine. I didn't force him to drink..."

"mom?"

Lin Jiefang gave He Taohua a deep look and tried to call her back, but she called out more and more enthusiastically, her face contorted with fear of going to jail.

Just then, the police arrived and saw the commotion between He Taohua and Lin Jiefang. Their eyes met those of the three brothers not far away. Su Laosan raised his chin and said, "I called the police. This mother and son forced my dad to drink. He's still in the operating room. The old lady is a witness. Grandma, you're a witness to them for forcing him to drink. Go with the police. Just listen to them, tell them what they tell you, and don't try to whitewash your son..."

Grandma Su, who hadn't uttered a sound from beginning to end, let out an "ah," glanced at her grandson, and said "oh."

The police nodded to the three men and led them away.

Grandma Su walked at the back, turned to look at Su Laosan, and told him to come pick her up after he finished giving his statement, as she still needed to come back to take care of Su Youfu.

Su Laosan waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely drive to pick you up when I'm done."

Grandma Su then left satisfied.

Meeting Lin Jiefang's probing gaze, she spat at him, "You worthless bastards, I knew you two had no good intentions. If anything happens to my son, I'll make you two pay with your lives!"

"Ahem, ma'am, you can't say that," the police officer said, quickly reminding her when he saw her being so unreasonable.
