Chapter 36 The eldest sister-in-law is showing her true colors
"Mom doesn't like spitting out fish bones, but she never said she didn't like eating fish."
The eldest daughter-in-law looked at Li Banxia with a confident smile, "Mom, you should try it. This fish is very flavorful."
"……good."
When Li Banxia was a girl, she liked to eat fish, but she didn't know how to spit out fish bones. After she choked on a fish bone once, whenever her family cooked fish, her parents and three older brothers would fight to pick out the fish bones for her before putting them in her bowl.
After marrying Su Youfu, she also got fish bones stuck in her throat. No matter how hard she tried, she would still get fish bones stuck in her throat. Since no one would help her remove fish bones anymore, she gradually stopped eating fish.
She had told her children about this, but all they remembered was that she didn't like to eat fish.
No, the boss remembers.
I remember she just couldn't spit out fish bones.
Otherwise, how would his wife know, and how could she be so certain?
Li Banxia looked up at her eldest son, whose clear eyes made him a little embarrassed, before looking away and putting a piece of fish into his mouth.
The tender fish melts in your mouth, with a fruity aroma that is refreshing and delicious.
"Mom, I didn't lie to you, did I? Isn't it delicious?"
The eldest daughter-in-law's eyes sparkled, and she swayed slightly, like a little deer seeking praise; she was very cute and endearing.
Li Banxia choked slightly, then nodded and smiled, "Mmm, delicious."
She also placed a piece of fish in her eldest son's bowl, who was flattered and said, "Thank you, Mom..."
"Pick out all the thorns before you feed it to your wife."
Boss Su, "..."
The eldest daughter-in-law pursed her lips, her eyes full of smiles, "Thank you, Mom."
The three of them looked so happy together that it hurt Su Lao Er's eyes, and the pent-up frustration in his heart almost exploded into a raging fire.
He felt neglected.
He made such a huge fool of himself today!
He even called the medicine warehouse, but his mother didn't even ask him a single question!
His mother is so biased, she won't let him speak! Does being forbidden from speaking mean it doesn't exist?
Su Lao Er, with a venomous grin, grabbed a sweet potato, took a big bite, and stuffed an eggplant into his mouth with a loud, clattering motion, clearly sulking.
The eldest son and his wife exchanged a glance.
The eldest son of the Su family brought up the matter of the second son of the Su family calling the school, "You called the school at noon looking for me and your sister-in-law, was there something you needed?"
Su Lao Er glanced at him and snorted coldly.
"Do you think I'm just bored if it's not absolutely urgent? I called the school in the middle of the day to find you guys! And what do you do? One by one, you don't answer the phone or aren't at your posts. So what if I lose face in public? So what if I can't hold my head up in front of my girlfriend and her brother? You guys are the real family, and I'm just an unloved outsider!"
Li Banxia glanced over.
Su Lao Er stubbornly turned his face away from Li Banxia.
The eldest son and his wife were completely bewildered by Su Lao Er's sarcastic remarks.
"Second brother, what happened? We told Mom about our trip to your sister-in-law's family home this morning. Weren't you at the dinner table? Didn't you hear us?"
Su Lao Er choked for a moment.
He couldn't admit that he was only thinking about the twenty yuan at the time.
With a cold face, I could only say, "I was being scolded by my supervisor at the factory and yelled at by my own mother at home. I had a lot of troubles going on, so how could I remember what you guys were talking about?"
The couple felt helpless and powerless.
This is unreasonable.
The eldest son's wife patted the eldest son on the shoulder and asked the second son, "Did you suffer some mistreatment from your partner and his brother, and instead of taking it out on them, you came home and vented your anger on your family?"
Su Lao Er's face immediately darkened.
Su Laosan almost choked on the sweet potato he was eating, thinking that his sister-in-law was really blunt.
Is it because he's been spoiled by his mother that he's become so arrogant?
Su Hongmei's eyes widened as she looked up at her mother.
He secretly thought, "My sister-in-law is bullying my second brother like this, her mother is bound to change her tune."
Li Banxia's expression did indeed change.
It was given to Su Lao Er!
"Su Min'an, apologize to your elder brother and sister-in-law!"
Su Lao Er pursed his lips, gritted his teeth, and stubbornly tried to refuse.
Li Banxia slammed her chopsticks on the table.
Su Lao Er caught a glimpse of Li Banxia out of the corner of his eye and, gritting his teeth, suppressed his grievances and quickly said, "...I'm sorry."
Looking at Li Banxia again, she asked, "Is that enough?"
"Who in your family owes you anything? Who should bear the brunt of your anger?"
Li Banxia stared at him, her eyes slightly cold. "If you dare to bring back the anger you suffer outside and take it out on your family again, get out of here!"
Su Lao Er lowered his head in shame and indignation, his eyes shifting with emotion, making it impossible to discern his true feelings.
Old Su lay on the bed in the room, his upper body straight, stirring up trouble. "Second son, don't listen to your mother. This yard was allocated to me by my factory. She has no right to kick you out. Listen to your father, stay here and come back!"
That's a lot...
Su Lao Er frowned and glanced at Su Lao Tou.
Su Laosan chuckled and raised his voice to ask Su Laotou, "Dad, do you still want to get a beating from my mom?"
"Let her beat me up, let's see if she dares to kill me."
Old Man Su snorted, "If you don't beat me to death, I'll still be the head of the family!"
Old Su rolled his eyes and pursed his lips, muttering under his breath, 'You don't even have the status of head of the family, just an empty title... Come on.'
He turned his head and glanced at Su Lao Er.
I moved closer to him. "Second brother, what happened? Did you and your girlfriend have a fight? What was it about? You're so angry, it can't be something small. Tell me so I can understand..."
In the end, almost revealing his true feelings, Su Lao Er coughed twice tactically, abruptly changing the subject, "...May I give you some advice?"
Su Lao Er glared at Su Lao San, not wanting to pay him any attention.
He hastily picked up a few bites of food and stuffed them into his mouth, speeding up his eating pace. After finishing, he put down his chopsticks and headed back to his room.
Su Laosan exclaimed "Hey!" and looked up at Li Banxia.
Li Banxia glanced at him and said, “Su Min’an, you should wash your own dishes and take turns doing housework from now on. There’s no reason for you to go out to work while your sister-in-law and I do all the housework!”
"Huh?" Su Laosan was clearly surprised by Li Banxia's response.
She's passable at washing dishes, but not so good at housework...
Is that what he thinks?
"...You all live in your own rooms, and you wash your own clothes, shoes, and socks. You take turns cooking breakfast and dinner..."
Su Lao Er looked displeased; he was unwilling to do these things. "I can't cook."
"If you don't know how, you'll learn. Nobody's born knowing how. Each person will take turns cooking for a day. Breakfast must have two dishes, or at least porridge and steamed buns. If you don't want to cook, you can pay out of your own pocket to buy breakfast for the whole family—steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, anything is fine. Whoever cooks is responsible for cleaning the kitchen and yard. The tables and chairs will get dusty, so you have to wipe them every day. That's all for this week. Starting next week, you should decide which day you want to do chores and let me know in advance. I'll write it down and post it on the kitchen door..."
Su Laosan looked completely dejected. "Mom, what am I going to do? I have no money and I can't cook..."
"Find a way yourself," Li Banxia said.
Su Hongmei looked like the sky had fallen. "Mom, I'm still a middle school student. Do I have to get up early to cook and clean the yard?"
"What, you're not from this family?" Li Banxia asked in a calm voice.
