Chapter 72 It's only right that you treat us well.

Boss Su frowned.

Frustrated, she said, "Your mother-in-law agreed so readily on the phone, how could she go back on her word? That's someone else's bicycle, you borrowed it on their behalf and didn't return it, but now you're making us return our own bicycle? What kind of logic is that?"

How could an elder do something so irresponsible?!

The car belongs to He Taohua, and his mother is currently arguing with someone. If this makes his mother feel inferior...

Su Laoda glanced at his mother, his brows furrowing even more.

“Hongying, go back and ride the bike back. Just say that the bike doesn’t belong to us and we can’t borrow it for that long.”

Su Hongying shook her head.

"I don't want it. My mother-in-law has already said it, and I can't refuse her out of politeness. Besides, it's not like we're not going to pay her back, so why are we being so serious?"

Su Hongying picked up another piece of egg, looked up at Su Laoda, and said, "How about you give me one of your bicycles to ride back home?"

"Tsk, your mother-in-law is really something. Her own youngest son is trying to please his future wife by taking other people's things to show off, and then she makes us the suckers. She's really something."

Su Laosan glanced at Su Hongying, clicking his tongue and shaking his head.

Su Hongying rolled her eyes at him. "Who told my mom not to give me a bicycle as part of my dowry when I got married? My sister-in-law got one, and it was her own sister-in-law who gave it to me."

As he spoke, his eyes darted around, and he called out to the eldest son's wife.

“Sister-in-law, I heard from Hongmei that Mom won’t let you hand over all your wages anymore. You have so much money, could you help me buy a bicycle as a dowry? Second brother, don’t you have a bicycle voucher? Can you lend it to me first…”

"How can your face be so big!"

Su Lao Er's face turned ugly, and he glanced at her sideways, "Something worth three or four hundred, and you dare to ask for it with just a few words!"

"Why can't I have it?"

Su Hongying looked at Su Lao Er and said, "Don't you also want your eldest brother and sister-in-law to save up for your dowry? We all have the surname Su, so you can spend it but I can't? Mom, do you think so too?"

Li Banxia glanced at her, her expression unreadable.

Su Hongying felt ignored and angrily chewed on the egg in her mouth.

She sobbed, “No wonder my mother-in-law said that in the eyes of the bride’s family, a married daughter is like water spilled out; the husband’s family is my home.”

Even the eldest daughter-in-law couldn't stand what she was saying and was about to speak up for her mother-in-law when Su Hongying suddenly glanced at her.

He said, "Mom, are you so biased towards your son? Have you ever thought about what life will be like in your old age?"

Li Banxia narrowed her eyes.

Su Hongying slightly raised her chin, "You're old and bedridden, so my younger sister and I will have to clean and bathe you. You can't rely on outsiders. It's only right that you treat us well..."

"Yeah?"

Li Banxia looked at her eldest daughter.

Thinking of what she said in my past life, 'Mom, I'm a married woman. You have a son; it's not my responsibility to take care of you in your old age.'

Hearing her say these words now only feels extremely ironic.

In her past life, she gave her whatever she wanted. Not only did she herself lick her blood, but she was also tricked by her mother-in-law into bringing her entire husband's family to lick her blood!

The eldest daughter was arrogant and thought that her husband's family valued her as their daughter-in-law.

She tried her best to meet all her eldest daughter's requests because her eldest daughter was her own flesh and blood.

Looking back now, she was incredibly stupid.

By stepping back from her own perspective and analyzing the relationship, Li Banxia discovered that it was full of calculation and manipulation.

"Your mother-in-law said this to you, right? What else did she say?"

Su Hongying exclaimed, "My mother-in-law asked me to borrow some money from you. She said she and my father-in-law are fine with anything, but they can't let me and Haijun suffer. She wants us to get pregnant quickly so she can help us take care of the baby while she's still young and energetic. Mom, could you give me a hundred later?"

The courtyard fell silent instantly.

Even Su Xiaosi raised her head, looking at Su Hongying speechlessly.

Su Hongying looked around and pouted, "Why are you all looking at me like that? I only want a hundred. Mom, my older brother, and my sister-in-law's combined monthly salary is four or five hundred. I didn't ask for more. Oh, right..."

Su Hongying looked at Li Banxia with a smile.

She said, "Don't let my mother-in-law pay this money back. Consider it a favor from you, Mom. Look, my sister-in-law's family gave her a thousand or two, and I didn't even ask for that much."

The expressions on the faces of the group were indescribable.

Su Hongying continued, "My mother-in-law has worked so hard to raise three sons. The family is struggling to make ends meet in order to save money for their weddings. We are better off than you, so please help us out. We're all family."

"Hey……"

The siblings looked at her in disbelief.

The eldest son of the Su family frowned deeply. “Sister, who told you our family is well-off? Dad doesn’t contribute a single penny to the family. Mom’s monthly salary of 120 yuan is barely enough to support our whole family. She takes on jobs treating patients and regulating their health to barely raise us. Your mother-in-law works hard, but Mom works even harder! Mom is the one who gave birth to you and raised you. You… you’ve only been married a few days and you’ve already forgotten?”

"...Brother, why are you in such a hurry? I never said that Mom doesn't work hard. Isn't it easy for Mom to earn money? Mom understands pharmacology, has a proper job at the Chinese medicine hospital, and can also earn extra money. Grandma and Uncle also often help out. My mother-in-law only has a fixed salary."

Su Hongying sighed and said to her siblings, "My mother-in-law cried because she was shortchanging us while saving money. It's so hard on the old lady..."

"Tsk tsk, Su Hongying, I've never seen you care about your mother before you got married, but now that you're married, you know how to care about someone else's mother. You really are a good daughter I raised! I've wasted my time raising you!" Su Laosan curled his lips and looked at Su Hongying with disdain.

Su Hongying snorted, "You talk as if you've ever cared about your mother. Which of you got married without spending your mother's money? Aren't you ashamed of spending your mother's money when you have children? How dare you talk about me like that! Anyway, I've delivered the message. Mom, remember to resolve this bicycle issue. I don't want to be looked down upon by my in-laws."

As she spoke, she looked at Li Banxia and said with a bit of pride, "My mother-in-law said that my future sister-in-law is short-sighted and was fooled by a bicycle. The two families are discussing Qin Shi. Once it's settled, the bicycle will be returned. My mother-in-law only lent us the bicycle because she values ​​me and our family. Mom, please don't make things difficult for me."

"I'm afraid that won't work."

Li Banxia said calmly, "The bicycle belongs to someone else. They came to my workplace to ask for it back, so I have to return it. Here's what we'll do: after we finish eating, I'll go back to your in-laws' house with you and explain to your mother-in-law that your family wants to exchange the bicycle for mine..."

"Alas"

Su Hongying drew out her words, looking at Li Banxia with some disdain.

"Mom, if you had said this earlier, would I have needed to ride Brother Jiefang's bike? You don't need to go, I can just ride back."

Li Banxia didn't let her go, saying, "I still have something to say to your mother-in-law."

"Huh? What did you say?"

Li Banxia glanced at her and said, "You'll find out when the time comes."

"What's with all this secrecy?" Su Hongying muttered, then continued eating, unconcerned.

After finishing her meal, Su Hongying urged Li Banxia to hurry up, "My mother-in-law has to go to work at this time."

"No rush, I know where she works, let's go to her factory to find her."
