Chapter 614 Buried in Peace

"...You deserve to die! You deserve to spend the rest of your life in jail! You deserve to die... Waaah, my stupid son, his whole life, he was completely fooled by you two heartless women. What did you take him for? What did you take him for!"

At first, Grandma Su was cursing fiercely, but by the end, she was angry that her son was stupid and heartbroken that he had lost his life at the age of fifty because of Lin Jiefang and He Taohua. She cried so hard that she couldn't catch her breath.

Su Laosan walked over, took the vegetable basket from Su Laotai, and gently patted her back.

Grandma Su leaned into Su Laosan's arms, clutching his clothes, and wailed, crying out, "Third son, you have no father, I have no son. He was my only son. No matter how disappointing he was, I carried him for ten months and raised him with all my heart. I thought he would die young, but I never imagined he would be gone so young. He was only in his fifties! I'm almost eighty and still living a good life. How could he be gone like this..."

Su Laosan felt uncomfortable because of her crying and shouting.

He had previously hoped that Su Youfu would die. When he was in the hospital, he saw that Su Youfu was biased towards Lin Jiefang and his mother, and he really wished that Su Youfu would die. But now that Su Youfu was really dead, he felt very bad.

"Milk……"

With red eyes, Su Laosan called out to Su Laotai in a hoarse voice, and helped her walk outside, saying, "When we go back, we still need to send Dad back to the countryside to rest in peace as soon as possible."

Grandma Su choked back a sob and followed Su Laosan out of the courthouse.

Su Lao Da and Su Lao Er exchanged a glance, then looked up at Lin Jiefang and He Taohua, mother and son, being led away by law enforcement officers.

Lin Jiefang was like a boneless man, being dragged along by law enforcement officers, but his eyes were fixed on the two brothers with resentment.

Su Lao Er raised an eyebrow, scoffed, and silently mouthed, "Trash."

Lin Jiefang struggled and screamed, but the law enforcement officer coldly chopped him down with a chop, and Lin Jiefang fell silent.

The mother and son were transferred to the detention center that same day.

In the afternoon, the three Su brothers and Su Hongmei, who had rushed over after receiving the news, escorted Su Youfu back to his hometown in the countryside for burial.

Upon arriving in the countryside, instead of following the custom of keeping the body for several days, they directly carried the coffin and placed it into a pit that had been dug in advance by villagers.

To the outside world, Old Madam Su's reason was, "The body has already been kept in the capital, so there's no need to keep it there again."

When the villagers tried to get to the bottom of it, Old Lady Su just waved her hand and cried.

After staying in the countryside for two days, before leaving, Grandma Su wanted to give her son some money. Su Laosan ran to town and bought a lot of gold ingots and paper money for Grandma Su to burn at Su Youfu's grave.

As Old Mrs. Su placed gold ingots into the basin, she cried and cursed Su Youfu, "Your son told you long ago that you would die at the hands of that mother and daughter, but you wouldn't believe me. Didn't you call for help when you choked? What did you expect from those two heartless people? They've already given you their lives... Every child Banxia bore for you is better than Lin Jiefang, so why did you become so obsessed with him..."

"Mom knows you like He Taohua, but He Taohua is a slut. Before she was with you, she was with someone else. Do you think the Lin family kicked them out? It was because the Lin family found her hiding in a haystack with another man..."

Su Laosan opened his eyes slightly.

He turned to Su Lao Er and whispered, "Second Brother, do you know about this?"

Su Lao Er shook his head.

The two brothers looked at the eldest brother, Su, who also shook his head.

Su Hongmei, who was standing nearby, suddenly said, "I know. When I lived with them, the old lady scolded He Taohua, but Su Youfu didn't believe it. He was convinced that He Taohua had only been with him, except for the Lin family."

The three brothers, "..."

"He really... died a worthy death." Old Su said irritably.

The eldest brother glanced at him and shook his head, "Third brother..."

Su Laosan glanced at the bricks on the grave mound, smacked his lips, and asked Su Hongmei, "Judging by the time, you should have graduated by now. Have you found a job yet?"

"Yes, I've graduated and I've already found a job."

Su Hongmei nodded, a relieved smile spreading across her eyes. "I got into the National Library and will work as a foreign language translator, translating foreign works."

Boss Su looked over in surprise.

Su Laosan clicked his tongue and chuckled, "I remember when my sister-in-law first married into the family, you loved to follow her around listening to her read English. Later, I don't know who instigated you, but you thought my sister-in-law was pretentious when she spoke English, and you always gave her a hard time. I never expected that you would end up choosing what my sister-in-law wanted to do. You should tell her about it later..."

Su Hongmei's face flushed, and she felt incredibly embarrassed.

“I was young and naive back then. Those people were envious and jealous of me having a great sister-in-law who could teach me English, but they didn’t realize it. They stirred things up with a few words and often gave my sister-in-law a hard time. It was my fault! I’ve always wanted to apologize to my sister-in-law in person…”

Su Hongmei turned to look at Su Laoda, "Big brother, I owe you and sister-in-law an apology. You and I helped me for three years in high school. I was ungrateful. Big brother, I'm sorry."

Old Master Su sighed and smiled.

They said, "That's all in the past. You have a good job now because of your own hard work. Your sister-in-law and I just gave you a hand. You are the one who truly deserves credit."

Su Laosan nodded in agreement.

"You wouldn't believe it, but my older brother also wanted to pull Su Xiaosi onto the right path. But that bastard Su Xiaosi thought we wanted to harm him, and he trusted outsiders more than us. He got tricked and went to jail, losing his bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, not to mention his bright future. With the way society is developing so fast these days, who knows how out of touch he'll be when he gets out..."

Boss Su sighed softly and said nothing.

Su Hongmei pursed her lips and said, "Fourth Brother is smart and can learn from his mistakes. If he can truly repent in prison, he should be quite capable of adapting to new things in society after he gets out. It's just... a pity about his combined bachelor's, master's, and doctoral studies. He was supposed to be a PhD student from Tsinghua or Peking University after graduation, and he could pick and choose any good job. In a few years, he'll probably have to find a job himself..."

"More than that!"

Su Laosan spat in exasperation, "Just because he's been to jail for embezzlement and bribery, so many companies, businesses, and individual owners wouldn't dare hire him. Who would want an accountant with such a criminal record?!"

Su Hongmei opened her mouth, then gave a deflated "hmm".

Su Lao Er glanced at the brother and sister.

After burning the paper money, Grandma Su and the group decided to head straight back to the city.

The villagers wanted to approach Grandma Su, but when they saw the bodyguards following behind the siblings, they didn't dare to go forward.

Grandma Su greeted several elderly women who had helped her when she was younger, and said with a smile, "I'm going to enjoy my retirement with my grandchildren. Take good care of yourselves. I'll come back to visit you when I have time."

The old woman was incredibly envious and praised her, "You're living a good life now, look how filial your grandchildren are..."

Someone else asked, "Where's the child's mother? Why didn't your fourth child and eldest granddaughter come back to see their father off?"
