As he spoke, he kicked Jiang Xue under the table, gesturing for her to say a few words as well.
Jiang Xue forced a smile: "Yes, we were in too much of a hurry. When we got there, there wasn't much good meat left. Xiang Nan, let's make do with this meal for now. I'll definitely buy you a pig's trotter to make you stronger another day."
Su Xiuju entered at that moment and saw a group of people sitting around the table but not touching their chopsticks. She called out softly, "Eldest brother, second brother, sister-in-law..."
Jiang Xue was furious. When she saw that it was Su Xiuju, she sneered, "What are you doing at my house? Is your mother regretting it and wants to invite us over for chicken so that we can forgive her? Let me tell you, it's too late to apologize now after humiliating us like that. I won't accept it."
Su Xiuju awkwardly picked at her fingers and whispered, "Sister-in-law, it wasn't Mother who sent me; I wanted to see Second Brother myself."
Jiang Xue's face immediately turned ugly.
Su Xiangnan looked at his younger sister, Su Xiuju, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. She seemed quite different from the one he remembered.

"Second brother, I am...you...your leg..."
“It’s broken. I’ll never be able to stand up again. As you can see, I’m a useless person, a burden.”
Su Xiuju's eyes immediately reddened, and she began to think about taking him to the hospital to get him checked out, hoping there might still be hope.
"Second brother, have you been to the hospital? Let me take you there. Maybe..."
Su Xiangnan coldly refused: "No need. Going there would be a waste of money. If you can't stand up, you can't stand up."
His gaze fell on the tear tracks at the corner of Su Xiuju's eyes, his pupils contracted slightly, and he softened his tone, saying, "If you're alright, you can go back now."
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Su Xiuju knew it was inappropriate to say anything at this moment, so she had no choice but to turn around and go back.
Her second brother used to treat her well, always thinking of saving some of the good food for her. Now, seeing him like this, she felt heartbroken.
Even if she went back and discussed it with her mother, her mother would definitely not agree. She planned to keep it a secret and secretly take her second brother to the hospital to have his leg checked.
