Chapter 130 I also got what I wanted
Li Banxia frowned and looked at him.
Old Su winked and said, "Right? Otherwise, why would you still be so considerate of her?"
"Do you know what 'fight to the death' means?" Li Banxia asked.
Su Laosan: "Huh? It means literally, 'the fish died and the net broke'... right?"
"So what do you think will happen if your second brother exposes Cui Yuxia's true colors?" Li Banxia frowned even more.
Su Laosan blinked, "That's because the factory manager's brother-in-law didn't want her anymore..."
"What is your purpose in going to find someone?" Li Banxia's expression gradually turned ugly.
Su Laosan looked at him with an expression that said, "...I need money."
Li Banxia looked at him, "So..."
Su Laosan was bewildered, "...So?"
Brother Li, who was listening nearby, was so angry that he wanted to punch the guy a couple of times to see if his head was made of wood.
Li Banxia suppressed the urge to roar like a shrew and asked Su Lao Er to bring out the Xinhua Dictionary from the room.
Su Lao Er readily agreed.
A moment later, he came out carrying a green shoulder bag and a thick Xinhua Dictionary in one hand, which he handed to Li Banxia.
Li Banxia didn't take it, and told him to give it to Su Laosan instead.
Old Su waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't want it."
Li Banxia glanced over indifferently, and Su Laosan took it with a wry smile, calling out pitifully, "Mom!"
“Starting tomorrow, one page a day, recite it to your older brother word for word before dinner. If you can’t recite it, you won’t get dinner,” Li Banxia said.
Su Laosan cried out in despair, "Ah?! Mom, I can't do it! I haven't even found a job yet, I don't have time to study..."
"Hmm, add another page to the bargaining."
Su Laosan, "..."
He looked utterly hopeless, slumped to the ground, clutching his book and calling out to his eldest uncle and second brother.
Neither of them paid any attention to him.
Brother Li even dusted off his clothes and stood up, somewhat pleased, "Let's go."
Li Banxia hummed in agreement.
Su Lao Er kicked Su Lao San, "Aren't you going to get up? You want to run over there?"
"Second brother, I'm dying, I'm dying! I'm telling you, I haven't been to school for so many years, why do I still have to memorize this damn Xinhua Dictionary?!"
Su Laosan grabbed Su Laoer's trouser leg and climbed up little by little.
Su Lao Er tugged at his belt with disgust, afraid that Su Lao San would give him a one-shot take.
"What did you say? Mom told you to memorize this?"
Even Su Lao Er felt a little intimidated by the thick Xinhua Dictionary.
The third brother carried it; we can't let him carry it anymore.
Luckily, he was going to the army with his uncle, otherwise...
It's terrifying to even think about.
Just as Li Banxia and Brother Li reached the door, Su Laosan was still dawdling. Su Laoer grabbed him and lifted him up, saying, "Hurry up! You don't have to carry it today starting tomorrow."
"Oh, right."
Su Laosan immediately sprang to his feet, put the Xinhua Dictionary on the bamboo chair, and ran after Li Banxia.
"Mom, I'm going to call my older brother and sister-in-law."
Li Banxia said they had already called, and they would go directly there when the time came.
Su Laosan said "oh" and chuckled as he moved closer to Li Banxia.
His carefree attitude gave Su Lao Er a heart attack.
The four of them rushed to the hospital. Li's father, mother, and second brother were all there, and Li's second sister-in-law was on her way.
Li Sange's condition has improved significantly, but the damage caused by the brain hemorrhage is still slowly repairing, which still has a significant impact on his physical response.
But Brother Li is optimistic.
He said, "It's already a blessing to have survived. Anyway, my health has never been very good since I was a child, and it won't get any worse. I'll take it slow."
Since he woke up, no one in his family has mentioned Li San's wife to him, and Li San's brother has never asked about her either.
Hearing that Su Lao Er was going to join the army, he nodded happily.
They said to him, "You should have gone long ago. Your mother has always been reluctant to let you go, afraid that you would suffer in the army. But as the saying goes, 'No pain, no gain.' Some hardships are necessary to endure."
Su Lao Er said yes.
“Listen to your uncle in the army, work hard and strive for success. A real man should fight for himself, even if not for your mother.”
Brother Li glanced at Li Banxia, smiled, and suggested that he wanted to have a private chat with Su Lao Er for a while.
Everyone else left the ward, leaving the space for them.
Li Sange tried to sit up, but Su Lao Er quickly placed a cushion for him to lean on.
With just this simple action, Brother Li was exhausted, covered in sweat, and his face was ashen. He took several deep breaths.
"You don't know how important a healthy body is until you get sick. Your mother gave birth to six of you. In her younger years, she was as strong as a young calf, but in recent years, her hair has become full of gray..."
As he spoke, he sighed and looked at Su Lao Er.
He said very seriously, "Min'an, thank you."
Su Lao Er was slightly taken aback, "Third Uncle, you..."
"Actually, my third uncle is nice to you because you are my little sister's child. Being nice to you makes my little sister happy, that's all."
Li Sange would pause after each sentence, taking a short break before continuing, "It's not a matter of 'love me, love my dog,' because I never expected you to repay me in any way. But the fact that you've gone to such lengths for me this time is something I never imagined. Third Uncle... I owe you a thank you and an apology. I'm sorry."
Su Lao Er was stunned for a few seconds, his eyes clearly showing some hurt, and his expression was no longer as happy as before.
Brother Li didn't say anything, waiting for him to process it.
After a moment, Su Lao Er grunted and said, "I understand. No matter what Third Uncle's purpose is, I have benefited from your actions. Moreover, I also got what I wanted from this matter. We... can be considered to have each gotten what we needed."
This time, it was Li Sange's turn to be stunned.
After a long pause, I asked him, "Hey kid, how come you suddenly got it all?"
"My third uncle probably doesn't know that I had a huge fight with my mom a few days ago. I threatened to run away from home and cut off all ties with her, and she said she didn't want me anymore..."
Su Lao Er smiled, paused, and said, "...I almost got thrown into jail by my mother for stealing money from my older brother and sister-in-law."
Li Sange's expression changed, his brows furrowed instantly, and he noticed that Su Lao Er's expression was not right.
Su Lao Er chuckled when he saw the little expression on his face as he stood up for Li Banxia.
She said, "Third Uncle, wait until I finish speaking. For a long time, my mother and I didn't speak to each other. At one point, I felt that my mother didn't love me, her son, at all..."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Brother Li said, "If your mother hadn't spoiled you all so much, how could you have produced one or two pairs who dare to challenge her?"
"Uh-huh."
Su Lao Er nodded, "But I never understood this principle. During those days, I was filled with anxiety, stubbornly arguing with my mother, hoping that either she would give in to me or she would completely abandon me..."
"You little brat!"
Brother Li was so angry that he raised his hand to hit someone, but the movement was too big and aggravated his wound, causing his vision to go black in waves.
Su Lao Er quickly helped him sit up.
He said, "Third Uncle, you and my mother were born of the same parents, how come you're not as calm as my mother? At least wait until I finish speaking before you get angry."
