Chapter 114 Didn't you eat? Speak louder!
"You should ask your dad what you're using."
Li Banxia lowered her eyes, glanced at Su Hongmei without any emotion, and stated the truth directly, "This cabinet is my dowry."
"My dad?"
Su Hongmei looked bewildered and at a loss. She glanced at Su Youfu, then looked at Su Laoda, calling him "Big Brother" with red eyes.
Su Laoda exclaimed "Hey!" and looked at Li Banxia, "Mom..."
"Um."
Li Banxia looked at her eldest son and asked him, "Didn't you understand what she just asked?"
"Wh-what?" Old Su was stunned.
The eldest son's wife understood the meaning behind her mother-in-law's words, and immediately realized what she meant. She whispered a few words in the eldest son's ear.
Boss Su's expression changed, both surprised and at a loss. He opened his mouth and looked at Su Hongmei.
"Little sister, don't you want to leave with Mom? Do you want to stay in the courtyard and live with Dad?"
Su Hongmei froze, opened her mouth, and asked, "Where did you go with Mom? I didn't..."
"Then why did you ask Mom what you would use if she moved the cabinet away?"
The eldest brother was getting impatient and directly hinted to Su Hongmei, "Shouldn't you just pack your things and come with us to the new courtyard?"
Little did anyone know, Su Hongmei didn't understand at all.
They were still asking, "But we're living perfectly well in this courtyard, why do we have to move?"
Su Laoda frowned at her. "Why? Mom and Dad are divorced. Dad won't let Mom live in this yard anymore, and Mom doesn't want to face Dad like this anymore. What's the point of asking why?"
Su Hongmei pouted, as if she wanted to say something, but Li Banxia didn't want to listen anymore.
She called out to the boss, "Come in and move the cabinet out."
"We don't need him, we can do it ourselves."
Brother Li stopped Su from entering the house, saying, "He's just a weak scholar who can't even lift a chicken; he can't move it."
"Uncle..."
Su Laoda's face flushed slightly, and he explained embarrassedly, "I'm married now, I'm not a child anymore."
"Hahaha……"
Brother Li's friend laughed heartily, "Even if you have a house full of children and grandchildren, you're still children in the eyes of us elders, aren't you, Li Tuan?"
"Haha, you're right, Xiao Pai."
The two men looked at each other and laughed. They said no, and chased Su, who wanted to lend a hand, aside. With a heave and a bit of effort, they moved the cabinet out and pushed it onto the truck.
Su Hongmei stood by the window, her lips pursed and eyes red, watching Li Banxia walk through all the rooms without giving her even a glance.
I felt so wronged that I wanted to wipe away my tears.
What did she do wrong? Why is she being treated like this?
Why do people have to get a divorce when everything is going well?
Why move to an unfamiliar place when you're living comfortably in this courtyard?
All her good friends are here. Who will she play with after she moves away?
Her school is also nearby. If it moves to a new location, how will she go to school?
My mother didn't tell her about the divorce, and she wasn't angry. Why should she be angry with her?
She couldn't even ask one question!
Li Banxia wandered around and found that everything had been moved. Just as she was about to leave, she saw the kitchen and the wisteria trellis, paused, and waved to Su Laoda and his wife.
"Come on, let's tidy up the pots and pans in the kitchen. We won't need to buy any more when we get to the new house."
This set must have cost quite a bit of money.
Even though I'm not short of money, I should still be frugal where I should and spend where I should.
The eldest son's wife sighed and pulled Su the eldest son to the kitchen. In no time, she emptied the kitchen, leaving not even the empty jars of pickled vegetables in the corner for Su Youfu.
After cleaning the kitchen, Li Banxia told the young couple to pick all the edible vegetables from the corner. She had planted them, watered and fertilized them, so why should they be given to the Su family?
Looking at the wisteria trellis, he called out to Brother Li, "I planted this wisteria tree myself. Could you... shovel it up and move it to the new yard with the soil still on?"
"able."
Brother Li called his comrades over, "We'll dig it up for you and plant a new courtyard."
"Li Banxia, you've gone mad..."
Su Youfu shouted from the side, "You've already skinned me alive just because of the divorce, and now you're even going to destroy the yard! Hey you, come take a look! The good daughter the Li family raised, she won't even leave her own daughter a wardrobe, she wants to take everything, she has no shame at all..."
Brother Li narrowed his eyes and picked up the iron shovel, intending to hit someone.
Li Banxia stopped him, saying, "Brother, it's not worth getting your hands dirty for someone like that. You guys dig up the trees, I'll say a few words to him."
Su Youfu thought she was scared in front of outsiders, so he straightened his back.
I'd like to say a few more words of advice to Li Banxia.
To everyone's surprise, Li Banxia gave him a half-smile and asked, "Su Youfu, haven't you eaten? Who are you trying to hear by speaking so softly? Speak up! If you attract everyone's attention, we can have a proper discussion about whether I have the right to take all these things with me. Don't even mention these things, even if I scrape off all the plaster from the wall, you have no right to stop me!"
Su Youfu's eyes widened, "You..."
"What?"
Li Banxia spat at him, "From the time we got married until now, you haven't brought a single penny home. Everything in this yard was bought by me penny by penny. Apart from that washbasin stand and a mirror, what else in this yard is yours? Tell me! I built this wisteria trellis myself. Why can't I dig up my things? If I don't dig them up, I'll leave them for you and your old lover to disgust people under the flowers and moon?! You wish!"
"Li Banxia!" Su Youfu suddenly raised his voice, his eyes filled with fear, afraid that Li Banxia would continue.
Li Banxia glanced at him and sneered, "Scared already? If you're scared, then shut up. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll strip you naked and burn your clothes!"
"you!"
Su Youfu was enraged, his whole body flaming like a torch about to be lit. He yelled, "Li Banxia, you took my money, my 20,000 yuan, and you still dare to say that..."
"Money? What money?"
Li Banxia tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of mockery, staring at Su Youfu, "I took your money? Who saw it? Who can testify?!"
Su Youfu, "..."
His eyes were practically bulging with anger, and his hand was trembling as he pointed at Li Banxia.
"You, you...you dare to go back on your word?!"
Seeing that he was angry, Li Banxia laughed instead, "What debt?"
"You said you'd take the money and wouldn't tell anyone about my affair with Tao Hua, you..."
Su Youfu blurted it out, but suddenly stopped halfway through, and his whole body trembled.
The next second, he was kicked to the ground by Brother Li.
He fell flat on his back again, and a shard of mirror stuck in his hand.
Su Youfu was both angry and scared. He took two steps back to the side of the steps and glared angrily at Li Banxia, "You did this on purpose."
Li Banxia nodded.
He said, "Yes, Su Youfu, from the moment I found out you were having an affair with He Taohua until now, have you ever won against me even once?"
Su Youfu was taken aback. When did she find out?
The time you hit him with fire tongs?
