"What nonsense are you talking about! I'm telling you the pros and cons of this matter, but you're talking about irrelevant things." Li suppressed her anger, took a deep breath, and tried to keep herself calm. She said seriously, "Why don't you understand how bad the current situation is for us?"
"What exactly do you want to say?" Su Xiaoyi began to become impatient.
Seeing this, Li quickly suppressed her temper and began to appease her husband who was about to get angry, "Let me ask you, are you tired after walking all day?"
"Of course I'm tired."
Needless to say, after traveling every day, I am too tired to get up and just lie on the ground and don’t want to move.
"Now that father-in-law can't walk, it must be you and me who have to carry him, right?"
"Of course." Su Xiaoyi nodded.
"Even if you have enough food and water to drink every day, how many days do you think you can last carrying a person on your back for a whole day?"
This time Su Xiaoyi remained silent.
"Don't talk about being full and satisfied now. We have no food or water now, and it's difficult for us to walk. We don't know how long we can hold on. If we add another person's weight, think about what will happen to us then?" Li persuaded patiently.
Su Xiaoyi became more silent.
He shuddered at the thought of that scene.
Li noticed her husband's slightly changed expression and continued to work harder, "When the time comes, we two will collapse first, and Dad and Mom will be fine. Look at this journey, if the two of us die of exhaustion, Dad and Mom will be the only ones with the three boys, and those people will definitely target them. What will happen to our son then?"
"Only when we are well can our sons survive. Do you understand?"
Su Xiaoyi raised his head and stared at his wife blankly, "Wife, what do you want to say?"
Li knew that he understood, but he just couldn't accept it for the moment.
She added fuel to the fire, "I'm not that unreasonable. They are your parents."
Su Xiaoyi kept nodding his head, secretly expecting something in his heart, but unfortunately his expectations were dashed.
"It's okay to take them with us, but I will never do it without telling my father-in-law. This matter is left to you, the head of the family. If you agree, we will continue to go with them." Li said in advance.
When Su Xiaoyi heard that he would have to carry his father on his back all by himself, he felt terrible.
He has nothing to eat or drink, and he has to carry someone on his back. Isn't this going to kill him?
"Wife, you, this..."
"I have to think about my sons. They are still young and I don't want them to become someone else's meal."
When this matter was mentioned, Su Xiaoyi's face changed slightly, and he thought of his father trading his two nephews with that man.
Old Lady Su calmed down and shouted at the couple from the second house, "What are you talking about? Go find your father."
Li looked at her mother-in-law who was walking over, and said to Su Xiaoyi, "Husband, think about it carefully. It's up to you whether to take them with you."
On the way, Old Lady Su asked her son in a low voice, "What did your wife say to you? She kept nagging for a long time."
Su Xiaoyi lied subconsciously, "Nothing."
Old Mrs. Su knew that her son did not tell her the truth, and she was unhappy, but she did not continue to ask.
Her only thought now was to get back to her husband.
Along the way, Su Xiaoyi was thinking about what his wife said. In fact, what she said was absolutely right, but he felt guilty about asking him to abandon his parents.
After all, they are your biological parents.
All the way to the place where Old Man Su broke his pelvis, Old Lady Su ordered the couple from the second house, "Hurry up and carry your father up."
When Su Xiaoyi and his wife saw the shit on Old Man Su's body and hands, their faces changed slightly.
Li subconsciously took a few steps back and did not move forward.
Seeing this, Old Lady Su pushed her and said, "Go quickly."
Li stood aside unhappily and said unceremoniously, "After all, there is a gender difference between my father-in-law and me. This matter has to be troubled by my husband. My husband, you have to bear with it."
Humph, if I don't push him, given his personality, he will never agree to abandon these two burdens.
The sister-in-law was so smart that she ran away. Why should they care about these two old guys?
She did not forget that when they were in her hometown, these two old guys always gave the good things to the eldest brother's family.
All the people who got the benefits ran away, so why should they be left to take care of these two old guys?
They don't get any benefits, but they have to do all the dirty and tiring work.
In short, none of the 120 members of the Li family were willing to take them with them.
"You are going against the will of heaven." Old Mrs. Su was so angry that she reached out to hit her, but was pushed away by Li.
Old Mrs. Su was stunned. She didn't expect her second daughter-in-law would dare to treat her like this.
She couldn't help but look at Su Xiaoyi, "Second brother, don't you care about your wife?"
Su Xiaoyi glanced back and forth between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. When he met his wife's gloomy eyes, he immediately held back the words he wanted to scold. He turned to Old Lady Su and said, "Mom, don't make a fuss here."
Old Mrs. Su was stunned again, staring at her son blankly.
Old man Su, who was lying on the ground, was also stunned. After looking back and forth at the couple from the second room, he sighed in his heart.
They are no longer the masters of this family.
Old Man Su said to the old woman, "Old woman, come and help quickly."
Li felt proud to see that the old couple no longer dared to act arrogantly towards her.
She finally made it.
What a pity, it happened at this time.
With the help of Old Lady Su and Su Xiaoyi, Old Man Su successfully got Su Xiaoyi to carry him on his back, while Mrs. Li watched coldly the whole time.
Su Xiaoyi gritted his teeth and carried Old Man Su on his back for a distance. He was extremely tired, hungry and thirsty.
In such a hot day, carrying someone on your back will make you sweat a lot and make you more thirsty.
Su Xiaoyi would put Old Man Su down every time he walked a distance.
But every time he was put down and carried up again, his injuries would be aggravated.
At first, Old Man Su endured it, but the pain in his pelvis was too much, and he couldn't bear it. He couldn't help but say, "Second brother, don't rest often."
Su Xiaoyi immediately became unhappy, thinking that his father didn't see how tired he was.
He keeps carrying it on his back without taking a rest. You're trying to tire him to death.
"I understand." Su Xiaoyi responded, suppressing his anger.
After walking for another cup of tea, Su Xiaoyi was ready to rest, and Old Lady Su hurriedly said, "Walk a little further, then you can rest."
“I can’t hold on any longer.”
Su Xiaoyi looked at his wife, but Li turned her eyes away and ignored him.
By the afternoon, the Su family found a shady place to rest.
Su Xiaoyi was already dizzy from exhaustion.
"Husband, do you want to continue?" Li asked, "If you leave, my child and I will really have no way to survive. If you don't think about yourself, you should think about our son."
Su Xiaoyi's wavering mind gradually became firm.
