Chapter 38 Find an excuse to beat him up
“I told you I’m afraid of heights,” Li Banxia chuckled.
How come I never noticed before that my eldest son's wife is so cute? She has big, wet eyes, just like a little deer.
When the eldest daughter-in-law saw Li Banxia smile, she smiled too, her eyebrows curving into beautiful crescent moons.
"By the way, can this news be leaked? I want to tell some of your uncles."
Li Banxia thought of his older brothers and asked his eldest brother's wife.
The eldest son's wife nodded with a smile, "Of course we can. We're all family. My sister-in-law thinks the same way. We should all make money together. If you help me, I'll help you, and that's how we can make our family business prosper."
“Your sister-in-law is a person with a broad perspective. I’ll find an opportunity to host a dinner party to properly thank your family.”
Li Banxia didn't remember how high her eldest daughter-in-law's position had ultimately risen, but judging from what she said to her eldest daughter-in-law, her future achievements would certainly be considerable.
How could a family that can raise a daughter-in-law with such a temperament have a bad wife?
Li Banxia kept this kindness in her heart.
“Your dad and I will both get paid tomorrow, and we should have around 300 yuan. I’ll go back and discuss it with your two uncles, and we’ll try to scrape together another 1,000 yuan. We’ll earn up some of the money we need for a postpartum nanny for you.”
Upon hearing this, the eldest daughter-in-law's smile deepened. "Mom, I don't need it. I told my sister-in-law that you told us to use our salaries to hire a postpartum nanny, and she said she would pay for it herself. She said she doesn't need that little bit of money."
Li Banxia was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Okay, then we'll save it for the kids' expenses in the future."
The eldest son's wife shook her head.
"No need, Mom. Aren't Second Uncle and Third Uncle dating? Let's save it up for them to use as betrothal gifts."
Li Banxia looked at Boss Su, and Boss Su nodded with a smile.
Li Banxia cursed the two idiots in her heart.
They were born to the same parents, but the children were all given to the second and third children, and they were still happy about it?
"Listen to my decision," Li Banxia said decisively.
The young couple exchanged a glance, both quite pleased. They had initially worried that Li Banxia wouldn't be able to accept this somewhat speculative behavior, but her agreement was already beyond their expectations; she was even willing to pool money to help her uncles get rich together.
The eldest daughter-in-law felt she had helped her husband's family, and her happy eyes were always filled with smiles.
Su Hongmei didn't sleep well all night, tossing and turning over her conversation with Li Banxia. She felt that her mother was still angry with her because Su Hongmei had spoken rudely to her sister-in-law, which was why she said those hurtful things.
possible……
It will be fine in a while.
She felt wronged and couldn't understand why her mother was suddenly being so nice to her sister-in-law.
Could it be because my sister-in-law is pregnant with a child from the Su family?
Will she get married like her older sister in the future?
But she's her own daughter, even if she's married, she's still her biological daughter!
How could she treat her like this for the sake of an outsider?!
She was sobbing, and halfway through her crying, she heard rustling sounds in the yard outside, as if someone was moving around. Terrified, she covered her head with the blanket. After what seemed like an eternity, she was covered in sweat. She took off the blanket, got out of bed, and drank two mouthfuls of cooled boiled water. Only when she heard that there was no more noise outside did she dare to go back to sleep.
The next morning, when I looked in the mirror, my eyes were swollen.
Even though her eyes were so swollen, her mother acted like she didn't see it.
Su Hongmei felt wronged and upset.
Li Banxia cooked sweet potato porridge, fried an egg for his eldest son's wife, stir-fried some hot and sour shredded potatoes, and served two dishes of pickled vegetables before calling everyone to eat.
Su Lao Er looked at the fried eggs that only his sister-in-law had, and his face was sour.
Su Laosan looked at the fried egg with envy, swallowing hard.
Li Banxia pretended not to see it.
While the family was eating, Old Man Su got up with a limp, flushed the water to wash his face and brush his teeth, and came back from the toilet all smiles, saying he was going to change his clothes to go to the factory.
Li Banxia frowned, her gaze sweeping over the radiant old man Su. She stood up, went to the kitchen to get some fire tongs, and pointed at him, saying, "Why don't you walk on the proper road? You insist on running into the vegetable garden, trampling on the garlic sprouts and getting your athlete's foot on them. How are we supposed to eat them?!"
After saying that, the fire tongs went straight for Old Man Su's buttocks.
Old Man Su, "..."
He looked completely bewildered and helpless. What had he done?!
"Li Banxia, that happened the night before last! You're settling scores now! You... ah!"
Old Su let out a miserable cry, clutching his buttocks and limping as he hurriedly rushed into the house, trying to close the door.
Li Banxia wasn't about to let him get away with it. She found an excuse to beat him up so he'd be stuck on the bed and unable to get up.
She was determined to get his salary!
Old Su was slapped several times, and his screams of pain grew louder and louder.
When Li Banxia saw that Old Man Su's buttocks were bruised and bleeding again, Li Banxia stopped. "Forget it, I'm magnanimous and will let you off this time. If you mess up the vegetables again, I'll beat you again."
Old Su was so distressed that tears welled up in his eyes.
Trembling, he pointed at Li Banxia and cursed, "...Li Banxia, you poisonous woman!"
The three siblings, Su Lao Er, Su Lao San, and Su Hongmei, looked extremely grim.
His/her mother, she'll even settle scores later!
Su Hongmei was almost in tears; she felt she had guessed correctly last night.
Su Laosan shrank his neck and made up his mind that from now on, he would never go west if his mother told him to go east. He would take his elder brother and sister-in-law as role models and be a good son that his mother liked!
Su Lao Er gritted his teeth, quickly finished his meal, washed his dishes, and went to work.
After everyone finished eating, Su Laosan volunteered, "Mom, eldest brother and sister-in-law, you go to work, I'll clean up the dishes."
Li Banxia glanced at him, and Su Laosan immediately forced a fawning smile.
Li Banxia withdrew his gaze and nodded to Boss Su and his wife.
The three of them rode away on their bicycles, one after the other. Su Hongmei, carrying her schoolbag, watched them leave chatting and laughing, and her eyes reddened again. She felt as if she had become a child without a mother after her sister-in-law married into the family.
Li Banxia went straight to the auto parts factory to collect Su Youfu's salary from the finance department.
She became famous after causing that scene at the factory.
Many people in the factory felt sorry for her and gave her the money as soon as she signed a document.
Li Banxia breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the money.
She rushed to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to collect her share, then called her friend Liu Mingcui to ask for leave for her, as she needed to go back to her parents' home.
After hanging up the phone, I called Master Chang at the tractor factory and told him that she had an urgent matter to attend to at her parents' home and that I would go to his house to check on my sister-in-law's situation.
"I'm at work right now and can't leave. I'd appreciate it if you could make the trip."
Master Chang thanked him repeatedly, and when he mentioned Su Lao Er, he said, "He's still angry with me. He won't even look at me when we pass each other. You didn't manage to persuade him?"
“…Brother Chang, if he doesn’t take the initiative to talk to you and apologize today, then just ignore him from now on.”
Master Chang was surprised. "What do you mean? Didn't you tell me to be more tolerant of his temper and teach him well? It's just a child throwing a tantrum... it's not that serious."
Li Banxia remained silent for a long time.
He said, "He's twenty-four years old, not two or four. He knows what he's doing. Since he knows and still insists on doing it, he should be prepared to pay the price."
