Chapter 103: I'm doomed, you know that?!
Li Banxia glanced at him lightly, then lowered her eyes and tied the counted money together with a rubber band.
He said, "It's none of his business."
Li Erge tilted his head, trying to see Li Banxia's facial expression, but he couldn't.
But for some reason, I felt a faint air of domineering confidence about Su Youfu when she said he was beyond her control.
He quite liked it, haha.
"...Okay, let's go talk to Mom and Dad, and our eldest brother. Since the third child's surgery was successful, there's no need for the kids to stay. Tomorrow, let them go back to where they came from, those who need to go to school go to school, and those who need to go to work go to work. One of us siblings will stay at the hospital to take care of the third child, and the other will go out to make money. What do you think?"
Li Banxia hummed in agreement, glanced at her second brother Li, and said, "I think it's feasible."
Li Erge remained silent, watching Li Banxia tidy up the money and stuff it into the tattered cloth bag, his lips twitching.
"You put so much money in this tattered bag, aren't you afraid someone will steal it..."
He stopped talking halfway through his sentence.
He frowned in disgust. Who would have thought there was so much cash inside such a tattered cloth bag?!
Thinking about it that way, it's actually quite safe.
Li Banxia brushed off her clothes and called to her second brother Li to go back to her parents' room.
I told them I had something to discuss with them.
Sister-in-law Li immediately stood up, smiling, and said, "I'm a little tired, I'll go back to my room to rest first, you guys chat."
Brother Li smiled at his wife, saw her to the door, watched her go back to her room, and then closed the door again.
"What's wrong?"
Li Erge told Li Banxia what he and Li Banxia had discussed next door and asked for their opinions.
Brother Li thought it was feasible.
"The benefits the country provides are rare and hard to come by. If you want to do it, be bold and take a gamble. Do you have enough money? I can give you two some more."
Li Erge refused to buy any, but urged Li Dage, "Dage, you and your wife should buy some too. These things can make a profit of ten or twenty yuan per piece after reselling. Ten pieces would be equivalent to a month's salary. It's too profitable."
"...Let's forget it. My job doesn't allow me to go out and make a fuss. Your sister-in-law's family doesn't like this kind of speculation."
Brother Li frowned slightly and sighed softly, "Last time, your sister-in-law got scolded by her mother because of this. We don't need the money, so we won't get involved in this mess."
Li Erge frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but Li Banxia pulled him back.
I asked Brother Li, "Where's your sister-in-law? What did she say?"
“Your sister-in-law wants to save more money so she can buy an apartment for Kong Qing in the city center, giving him financial security when he gets married. But I think she's overthinking it; Kong Qing has no intention of getting married at all…”
When his daughter was mentioned, Brother Li sighed deeply.
Li Banxia smiled and said, "Kong Qing is still young, take it slow. If she meets someone she likes, they might get married soon."
“…Then let’s forget it. Getting married too soon is not a good idea.” Brother Li glanced at Li Banxia and shook his head.
Li Banxia choked, "...Big brother, please tell your sister-in-law that if you don't have any other use for the money you have, just lend it all to me, and I'll calculate the interest for you."
Brother Li nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to your sister-in-law when we get back."
“I’ve thought about it. I have more connections than my second brother. I can get government vouchers at a lower purchase price and a higher selling price. The bigger the difference, the more we earn. Second brother, why don’t you stay at the hospital with Mom and Dad? We can have a meal together later and tell the kids what happened. Let them go about their business. What do you say?”
“Okay,” Li Erge said first.
Brother Li, along with his father and mother, nodded in agreement.
In the evening, the family got together for dinner.
The next morning, the group took taxis to the train station, and from there they radiated out from Shanghai to various parts of the country.
Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li came in a military vehicle and returned in the same military vehicle.
The third wife's two children did not leave, saying, "As children, it's unreasonable to abandon them at this time."
Su Lao Er and Su Lao San stayed behind.
In Su Laosan's own words, "My second brother and I don't have jobs, so what would we do back home? If we stay, we can help out our second uncle and grandparents, and maybe even get some good food, hehe..."
Su Lao Er looked down on Su Lao San's smirk, but he really didn't want to go back to the capital.
Li Banxia didn't insist. If they stayed, their parents and second brother would indeed have two more helpers.
She bought tickets to Jinzhou and, just before entering the station, told Li Erge to keep an eye on the two brothers. If they caused trouble, she should beat them or throw them onto the train and send them back without mercy.
Su Laosan's eyes widened, his face showing an expression of 'I've been wronged, Your Honor'. "Mom, you can't wrong people like that! Ever since you said we don't support idlers in the family, I haven't been lazy for a long time. If you don't believe me, ask Second Brother!"
He turned his head and winked at Su Lao Er.
Su Lao Er, "..."
Li Banxia looked at her irritably, "Do you think I don't know you haven't looked for a job at all and have been lazing around at home sleeping all day?"
"Huh? Mom, you knew all along?"
Su Laosan shrank his neck and gave a wilted, ingratiating smile. "...I don't know how to do anything, so I was at home trying to figure out what to do. Who knew it would be so hot? I got dizzy from the sun. I...I wasn't sleeping, I...I got dizzy from the sun, yes, dizzy from the sun!"
"Shut up, you idiot!" Old Su rolled his eyes.
Li Banxia ignored the two brothers and glanced at Li Erge.
Li Erge understood and raised an eyebrow. "Leave it to me."
The two brothers froze on the spot.
Li Banxia gripped the shoulder strap of the tattered bag, carefully protecting it as she went into the station, trying not to attract attention.
"Mom, I'll miss you..."
Su Laosan jumped up and down, waving to Li Banxia's back.
Li Erge's forehead vein throbbed as he grabbed Su Laosan by the back of his neck by the collar. "Su Fengtiao, stop embarrassing yourself here. Come on, tell your second uncle what your mother meant by 'I told you to go out and find a job, but you're just lazing around at home sleeping'..."
"Ah! Second Uncle, I need to see my mom off. Mom, aren't you scared to travel by train alone? Should I go with you?"
Su Laosan broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes darting around. When he saw Su Laoer looking on with amusement, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at Su Laoer.
Su Lao Er's heart jumped instantly, "Su Fengtiao, you..."
Just as I was about to remind him not to talk nonsense, I heard Su Laosan shout in a loud and clear voice, "Second Uncle, my second brother, for a pretty girl, he stole money from my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and now my mother has to sell everything she owns to raise 800 yuan for his bride price, plus a three-wheeled watch and a radio, oh, and my sister-in-law's job, and that girl wants that too..."
After he finished shouting, the surroundings were quiet for a few seconds, and a group of people stared at him with blatant disapproval.
Su Lao Er's face turned pale and then red, and he glared at Su Lao San through gritted teeth, "Su Fengtiao!"
"Ah! Second Uncle, look! I've exposed Second Brother, and he's going to kill me to cover it up! Run! Run!"
He took the initiative, slipped behind Li Erge in a flash, and while Li Erge was still in a daze, he ran away in a flash.
Li Erge glanced at the hand that Su Laosan had broken free from, "..."
That kid!
Su Lao Er also tried to slip away, but Li Er Ge caught him quickly, giving him a half-smile, "For a pretty woman, you forced your mother to sell everything you own? Hmm?"
Su Lao Er, "..."
Su Fengtiao, you're dead!
You're dead, you know that?!
When Li Banxia arrived in Jinzhou this time, he took a taxi directly to the small bank he had visited before.
Even from a distance, I could see a large crowd gathered in front of the bank.
Only when they got closer could they see clearly that it was Lao Tao, who had sold her the national coupons last time, and that girl named Xiao Zhu, along with two of their colleagues, who were being mocked by five or six people across from them.
The girl named Xiao Zhu's eyes were red with anger.
Pointing at the man in the lead, she angrily said, "It was you who did this! Our bank is so small, last month we only had a quota of 50,000, how could it have increased to 100,000 this month?! You must have sabotaged us behind the scenes!"
"So what if it's me? Do you have any proof?"
The man scoffed, his eyes sweeping contemptuously over Old Tao and his group. "Manager Tao, aren't you so capable? Aren't you good at stealing customers? If you're so capable, why don't you get that old lady to come and buy again, so she can help you meet your targets..."
