Chapter 61 Did Mom already know?
Liu Mingcui felt sorry for her friend and reminded her, "Banxia, you still have two children in school and three unmarried sons. The pressure of raising children is immense. You must think carefully before making a decision. You can't let those two bitches get away with it."
Li Banxia chuckled.
"Okay, don't worry. Even if we get divorced, I'll get that money back first and expose the dirty deeds those two have done. I'll never be the one who'll be ashamed to show my face."
Having lived a full life, her biggest realization was that being too proud leads to suffering.
Face is something that is never given by others; it is something you earn yourself.
When she was first reborn, she had no money and hadn't figured out how to deal with Su Youfu and those ungrateful wretches who were sucking her dry. She kept dragging her feet, not knowing what she was dragging her feet on!
Now that I have money in my hands, I feel much more confident.
Li Banxia felt that she knew what kind of life she wanted, so she would start by tearing off all pretenses to get her money back and getting a divorce...
Su Youfu certainly wouldn't obediently hand over the money; he didn't have any either.
Then ask He Taohua for it.
He Taohua might not admit it, then...
"Li Banxia!"
Li Banxia was pulled back to her senses by Liu Mingcui's call. "I'm hanging up now. Come back as soon as you're done. My boss just told me that your leave this time is a bit long. If you don't come back soon, you might lose your bonus this month."
"knew."
After hanging up the phone, Li Banxia went to the train station to buy tickets, booking one for the evening. While waiting for the train to depart, she went to a jewelry store, picked out some trendy styles, and chose a bracelet for her mother, three sisters-in-law, and eldest daughter-in-law. After thinking for a moment, she also picked out a phoenix hairpin with a string of gold beads for her eldest daughter-in-law.
She bought herself a sunflower brooch.
The salesperson said that the meaning of this brooch is to grow towards the sun and follow the light.
Li Banxia liked it very much.
She was gone for a week, and Su Laosan was so anxious for her that he couldn't wait to see her. All the weight he had gained from sleeping in late was gone because he had been traveling all over the country with Su Laoer.
When you clench your fist, your biceps come out!
Su Laosan lowered his hand in shock and grabbed Su Laoer, who was about to go out and show off, "Second brother, what are you doing?"
I don't know what his second brother was thinking.
They insisted on following Cui Yuxia and her brother, watching them go on blind dates, sometimes two or more a day, seeing their dates eat, shop, and watch movies with them, and then confidently sending them home with smiles on their faces.
Su Lao Er's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he glared at Su Lao San.
Su Laosan sighed, "Why are you looking at me like that? Mom told me to stop you. You can talk to her when she gets back, okay?"
"Let go!"
Su Lao Er's face was gloomy as he gritted his teeth, "I'm going to find out what's going on. Is Yu Xia being forced into blind dates by her family...?"
"My dear second brother, wake up!"
Su Laosan gestured for him to look at Cui Yuxia, "See that? Her face is all smiles, it looks like she's been forced into it."
"What do you know?!"
Su Lao Er nudged Su Lao San with his elbow.
Su Laosan cried out, "It's a work injury, I'm telling you! You hurt me, I'm going to wait for Mom to come back and reimburse me."
"Su Fengtiao, can you please stop nagging?"
Su Lao Er frowned and glared impatiently at Su Lao San, "If you keep babbling, believe me, I'll beat you up!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, see for yourself."
After Su Laosan finished speaking, he added, "You are only allowed to look, but you are not allowed to run out."
He finally got home after a long day and wanted to get a good night's sleep, but he dreamed about his second brother, who would sneak out.
On his first day of taking a nap, the two of them had agreed to go together after waking up.
When he woke up, it was already dark!
His second brother had already run away.
Su Laosan was so frightened that he refused to take a nap the next day.
Su Lao Er said he would go by himself and would absolutely not go out to beat people up.
Su Laosan disagreed, saying, "Mom told me to go with you. If she finds out I've disobeyed her when I get back, she'll definitely beat me with fire tongs. I don't want to end up like Dad; it's too shameful."
As he spoke, he curled his lip in disdain.
Su Lao Er, "..."
The two brothers followed him for a week, and on the last day, they both fell silent.
Su Laosan advised Su Laoer, "Second brother, give up. You'll have to be wary of marrying a woman like that, who's so fickle. What if the child she has isn't yours? You'll be miserable for the rest of your life. Take my advice, just let it go..."
"Su Fengtiao, shut up!"
Su Lao Er frowned deeply and remained silent for a long time before suddenly asking Su Lao San, "Do you think Mom knew all along, which is why she tried so hard to stop me from marrying Cui Yuxia?"
"Who knows? Anyway, no matter what, Mom would never harm us."
Su Laosan patted Su Laoer, "Second brother, Cui Yuxia is beautiful, but she's restless. You wouldn't want to raise another man's son, would you?"
Su Lao Er gritted his teeth, "Yu Xia isn't that kind of person."
Su Laosan let out a long sigh and tugged at his hair.
I feel like he's going to pluck all his hair out.
Was his second brother's brain damaged by a donkey?
ah!
"...Is it so hard to admit that she's juggling multiple relationships?"
Su Laosan cursed inwardly, but he didn't dare to truly offend Su Laoer, as he couldn't beat him.
By evening, the two brothers returned to the courtyard, looking dejected.
Su Hongmei was reading and doing her homework in her room, while Su Laoda and his wife were cooking in the kitchen. Su Laotou was nowhere to be found.
Su Xiaosi slumped in the rocking chair, staring at the courtyard gate with a look of utter despair.
Seeing the two of them, I was filled with disappointment.
"Dinner's ready."
The eldest brother called out to the yard, and the third brother immediately perked up and ran into the kitchen, asking, "Big brother, is there meat for us today?"
"There's braised pork." Old Su smiled.
Old Su's eyes lit up, and he quickly reached out, "I'll take it, I'll take it..."
A lunchbox of braised pork brought back from school, a plate of sweet and sour pickled garlic shoots, a plate of stir-fried greens with bean curd sheets, a plate of smashed cucumber with minced garlic, a plate of stir-fried mung bean jelly with scallions, and two small dishes of pickled vegetables.
As soon as Su Xiaosi saw the pickled vegetables, she gagged with nausea.
He couldn't bear to part with the money he had saved, so he actually ate only steamed buns and pickled vegetables for a week, thinking that he would lose weight so that his mother could see how pitiful he was.
Who knew, his mother didn't come home for a week.
It's Saturday today, and it's already dark, but his mother still hasn't come home.
Does he expect to eat nothing but steamed buns for a whole week?!
He doesn't want to!
He couldn't eat anymore; he was so hungry his eyes were practically glowing green!
The eldest son's wife glanced over, raised an eyebrow, and remained silent.
"What's wrong, Xiao Si?" Boss Su looked at his younger brother with concern.
Su Xiaosi waved her hand, looked up and asked Su Laoda, "Big brother, if Mom doesn't come back on Monday, could you give me some money for food? I don't want to eat steamed buns anymore..."
"Don't you still have two hundred yuan? Why are you asking your older brother for money?!"
Su Laosan glanced at it and said disdainfully, "Didn't Mom say you had two hundred yuan? You're the richest person in the family, how dare you covet your older brother's money?"
