Chapter 393 What happened?
Su Laosan was stunned. Seeing the man about to leave, he grabbed him and asked, "...Where did you go?"
"have no idea."
The man frowned, glanced at Su Laosan, and his intention to make him let go was very clear.
Su Laosan seemed not to hear him and asked anxiously, "How could you not know? A student transferring schools is such a big deal..."
"You... It's their freedom to transfer schools. Who can tell them where they go to school?"
When pressed, the other person snapped back, slapping away Su Laosan's hand that was gripping his clothes. "Let go. If you want to find someone, go somewhere else. Don't be unreasonable here."
Su Laosan stood there, stunned for a long while, before finally taking a taxi home.
When I got home, I went to find Li Banxia and told her, "Mom, everyone's gone. Erniu is gone, her sister-in-law is gone, and her nephews have transferred schools..."
Li Banxia put down the silver needles in her hand and looked at Su Laosan, whose eyes were filled with panic.
Ask him, "Do you know why Erniu did this?"
Su Laosan shook his head.
“Erniu doesn’t want to drag you into this anymore. If you keep getting entangled with her, her family won’t let us off the hook. Erniu doesn’t want you to face this predicament. She’s doing things for you that you can’t do.”
Su Laosan's eyes instantly turned red.
Looking at Li Banxia, she said, "Mom, I don't understand. What sins did Erniu and I commit in our past lives? Why is God punishing us like this? I'm really sad."
Li Banxia thought of the vampire-like faces of the third brother and his wife in their past life, and nodded in agreement.
They said, "Perhaps you committed grave sins in your past lives, and you need to atone for them in this life in order to be together."
Su Laosan gave a blank "Ah".
Li Banxia glanced outside and sighed softly, "If you two are truly destined to meet, you will meet again someday. What you need to do now is work hard to make money. Do you remember what I told you?"
Su Laosan wiped his eyes and said, "Remember, I will work hard to earn money and achieve financial freedom as soon as possible, so that Erniu can see that I can do it and that I can give her happiness."
Li Banxia neither confirmed nor denied this statement.
Change the subject and ask him, "Why did you suddenly give the store's profits to your older brother? He wasn't involved in the store's operations. Giving him such a large sum of money might make your subordinates resentful, which would be detrimental to your management."
“I know, that’s why the money I give my elder brother is a portion of my bonus,” Su Laosan said.
Li Banxia, puzzled, frowned at him and asked, "Why?"
Su Laosan hesitated for a moment, "I... I don't trust myself. I've seen it, and only my eldest brother inherited the good genes from Mom and Grandma's side of the family. We siblings all have more or less of Su Youfu's bad traits, the offspring of that bastard Su Youfu..."
Su Laosan's eyes were full of disdain, and when he turned his neck towards Li Banxia, he stiffened.
He said awkwardly, "...I'm afraid that one day I might do something wrong and not be able to take care of you, Mom. I was thinking of giving the money to my older brother first, in case... if something happens, I'll let my older brother take care of you on my behalf."
Li Banxia was stunned.
Look at him, "Who taught you this?"
"Nobody else. I know my own character. I just want to be filial to my mother while I still have the ability." Su Laosan didn't dare to look at Li Banxia. He kept his head down, shuffling his feet on the ground. His hands were in his pockets, his palms were sweaty, and his eyes were looking around aimlessly. He looked extremely busy.
Li Banxia swallowed hard, and her throat inexplicably tightened.
"If you want to fulfill your filial duty, do it yourself. What kind of nonsense is it to have your older brother do it for you? Can this kind of thing be done by someone else? Did I raise you and then find someone else to do it for me? You're not allowed to do it for me!"
Seeing his mother was angry, Su Laosan quickly replied, "No, no, I will definitely take care of you myself."
After saying that, he forced a flattering smile.
Thinking of the unfilial behavior of her children in her past life, Li Banxia felt a tightness in her chest. She turned around and waved her hand, "Get out, get out now!"
They chased Su Laosan out.
Su Laosan realized he had said the wrong thing and was a little worried. He scratched his head and went to find Su Laoda.
After listening to his description of what had happened, Boss Su glared at Boss Su the Third with a look of utter disappointment.
“Mom is right. This is something that can’t be done on behalf of someone else. My filial piety towards Mom is my own, and your filial piety towards Mom is your own. I’ve never heard of outsourcing filial piety.”
Su Laosan said, "I know, I'm just afraid I might do something foolish because of Erniu..."
He paused halfway through his sentence.
The eldest brother frowned and glared at him. "Third brother, you know why Fang Erniu doesn't want to bother with you anymore. If you keep bothering her, you'll only make her more miserable. Don't you know why her sister-in-law suddenly moved to a different place, or why her nephews suddenly transferred schools? You're still chasing after her and won't let go. Are you trying to drive her to her death?"
The word 'death' struck Su Laosan like a heavy hammer blow to his heart.
His face was pale, he opened his mouth but no sound came out, and his eyes were red.
He called out to Boss Su, "Big Brother, is there really no chance for us?"
"...I don't know, maybe I have a beard or not, you can't say for sure about fate."
After a long silence, Su Laosan asked Su Laoda, "Big brother, you already have Mingwa and Lebao'er, so I don't need to have another son to carry on the family line, right? There's nothing good left to pass down with the Su surname anyway, so I won't get married..."
Boss Su immediately understood what he meant.
"Are you waiting for Erniu?"
Su Laosan didn't answer, but just smiled at him and said, "Big brother, you're good at math, and I happen to need someone to manage the money. Could you help me manage the accounts and money? You know, I can't even do basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The agricultural product stores under my jurisdiction are opening more and more, and the categories are becoming more and more detailed. The staff are a mixed bag, and there are bound to be some people who want to take advantage of the situation. I need you to help me keep an eye on things."
"this……"
Su Laoda hesitated for a moment, but seeing that although Su Laosan was smiling, the sadness and sorrow in his eyes were about to overflow, he couldn't say no for a moment, so he just said "ah" and agreed.
Su Laosan said, "Then it's settled. I'll have someone draft an employment contract in a couple of days, and we'll sign it."
"……OK."
They said two days, and it happened in two days. Two days later, Su Laosan brought the contract to Su Laoda for his signature and fingerprint.
Su Laoda glanced at it; the salary was two hundred a month, a bit more than a teacher's, but still reasonable, and the hours were flexible. There were dedicated people to inventory and check the goods in the store, so he mainly looked at the weekends, end of the month, quarters, and year-ends to check for any missing items or discrepancies.
Su Laoda breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Lao San would bring up the matter of giving him the bonus again, so he signed his name and pressed his fingerprint directly after seeing that there was no problem with the contract.
Su Laosan took the contract and left. At the gate of the courtyard, he encountered his eldest daughter-in-law, who was rushing back. She looked very unwell and even tripped over the threshold, almost falling over.
"Sister-in-law."
Su Laosan quickly helped her up, then noticed that his eldest daughter-in-law's eyes were red, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What happened? Is it Le Bao'er and Mingwa...?"
The eldest son's wife shook her head, looked up at Su the eldest, and Su the eldest quickly took two steps to take his wife away.
"What's wrong, JianShu?"
