Chapter 125 Do you still think so now?
Why should I admit it?
Li Banxia remained calm as she watched Su Xiaosi nearly explode with rage. Her voice was unhurried and measured. "...This was originally part of my plan. You always thought you were the smartest one in the family. Do you still think that way now?"
After saying that, he gave a mocking laugh, "Is it fun to be made a fool of like a monkey?"
"Why are you doing this to me?" Su Xiaosi gritted her teeth, glaring angrily at Li Banxia. "Why!"
Li Banxia leaned forward slightly, meeting Su Xiaosi's angry eyes. "I've done this to you, what can you do about it? Go to the police, do you think they'll believe you?"
"Are you angry? You were the one who called the police, but you don't have any evidence. Su Yushun, even if I tell you the truth, what can you do to me?"
Su Xiaosi's face changed instantly, her teeth grinding together, "You..."
"Um?"
Su Xiaosi stared intently at Li Banxia, realizing that he really couldn't do anything about her.
Police investigations require evidence; mere words are far from sufficient to prove that it was his uncle who assaulted him!
Similarly, even if he went out and told the police now, the police wouldn't believe that his mother had orchestrated it.
He had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill, whether he wanted to or not.
I felt particularly frustrated and humiliated while eating!
They tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead!
They lost both their wife and their army!
With red eyes, Su Xiaosi asked Li Banxia, "Is this your punishment for me? Punishing me for not visiting my third uncle, and for disregarding brotherly affection by sending my second brother to the police station?!"
No, that's not true.
Li Banxia shook her head. "You look down on your family and relatives. That's your tragedy. One day you'll realize what you've given up. Time will tell you the answer. I won't comment on it because my own life has been a failure."
Li Banxia gave a self-deprecating laugh and sighed deeply.
"Then why are you pointing fingers and giving orders about my life?" Su Xiaosi gritted her teeth.
"Su Yushun, too much rigidity leads to breakage, too much flexibility leads to bending; the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind; the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; cleverness can backfire; stubbornness and self-will..."
Before Li Banxia could finish speaking, Su Xiaosi interrupted her, "What do you mean?"
"What, you can only memorize grand principles but don't know their meaning?"
Li Banxia gave him a deep look and said, "This is the last lesson your mother will teach you. There are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people. From now on... take care of yourself."
After saying that, he turned and strode away.
Su Xiaosi was stunned for two seconds before she realized what was happening. She grabbed her cane and chased after Li Banxia, her anger surging as she watched Li Banxia's retreating figure.
He yelled, "Is it fun to play with me like this? I don't need you to teach me. You're the one who rejected me, you're the one who rejected me!"
A few neighbors who hadn't gone far looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Xiao Si, what's going on? Why are you arguing so fiercely with your mother? Why are you saying all this to others?"
Su Xiaosi turned her head and glared coldly at him.
The man cried out in pain, took two steps back, and muttered something under his breath.
"You little wolf cub, you want to eat people, huh...?"
Su Youfu chuckled from the side, "What else could it be? His mother didn't want him anymore. She only took the eldest son who could earn money and the second and third sons who were adults and could work. She left the other three to me, and two of them were still spending money. She's really heartless!"
"Where have you gone?"
Su Xiaosi turned her head and glared at Su Youfu, "You haven't lifted a finger all these years, what right do you have to talk about my mother?"
"Hey, you heartless brat, I was just about to speak up for you..."
As Su Youfu spoke, he looked around at his neighbors, "Look at this! What kind of things has Li Banxia taught? She can't even teach a little..."
He wanted to say that she had no manners at all, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly remembered that Su Xiaosi had cursed him, saying that she had a mother but no father to raise her or teach her. The words he was about to say got stuck in his throat, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing Su Xiaosi stumbling towards the courtyard with her cane, Su Youfu curled his lip.
He turned to chat with his neighbors a bit more, but found that they were all looking at him strangely.
Su Xiaosi wanted to go back to his room, and Su Hongmei went up to him, calling out pitifully, "Fourth Brother."
Su Xiaosi: "You get out too! If you don't want to pin the blame on me, how does my not going to bother you?!"
After saying that, he angrily went back into the house.
Su Hongmei stood dumbfounded in the yard, listening to Su Youfu outside complaining to the neighbors about how bad his mother was and how she had spoiled his children.
I could hear Su Xiaosi smashing and making a mess in the room.
I think this family is absolutely terrible.
Just over two months ago, everything at home was fine. How come her mother suddenly became a completely different person after hitting a wall, turning our happy and warm home into this mess?
She couldn't stand it for even a second longer.
Su Hongmei ran out, passing through the neighbors who were making fun of their family's farce, and wandered aimlessly along the road for a long time.
When she came to her senses, she realized she had walked to the street intersection leading to the Zhang family's house.
She thought of her eldest sister, Su Hongying, wiped the tears from her face, and went to find Su Hongying.
However, when she finally arrived at the Zhang family's house, she found that her eldest sister was being manipulated by the Zhang family.
His hair was messy, and his clothes were covered in oil stains.
Su Hongmei opened her mouth, "Big sister, you, how could you..."
It's turned out like this.
She didn't say the rest of her words because she saw the ugly faces of the Zhang family that she had never seen before.
The Zhang family not only failed to show the same warmth and attentiveness as before, but also treated her with coldness, as if she were a debt collector.
Nobody gave her a friendly look.
Su Hongying's husband, Zhang Haijun, frowned and said, "How dare you Su family members come here again to beg for money? You have no shame..."
"Brother-in-law, I didn't, I'm not."
Su Hongmei wanted to explain, but no one listened and no one cared.
Su Hongying pulled Su Hongmei outside and asked her, "What are you doing here?"
"Big sister, Dad and Mom are divorced. Mom... Mom doesn't want us anymore." Su Hongmei's voice choked with sobs, her eyes red.
Su Hongying was stunned.
She immediately sneered, "I'm a married daughter, like water spilled from a cup. What does it matter to me whether they get divorced or not? My mother didn't want me anymore. The day she made a scene at my mother-in-law's workplace, she stopped treating me like her daughter. If she doesn't want me, I didn't want her either!"
"Big sister! What should I do?"
Su Hongmei was terrified. Her eldest brother, second brother, and third brother had been taken away by their mother, her eldest sister had gotten married, and her fourth brother's school fees were covered by the school. She was the only one left.
Dad has never cared about her. What if he ignores her again like before?
She doesn't like living with her dad.
Su Hongying glanced at her, about to say something, when her mother-in-law Zheng Xiulan's sarcastic voice came from inside the house, "Where is she? Where did she go? Are you not going to cook or not? If you're not going to cook, give me back my household allowance, I'm going out to eat."
"You old hag!"
Su Hongying cursed angrily, then called out loudly, "Mom, cook, I'm coming right now."
She lifted her foot to walk inside, but Su Hongmei grabbed her.
Su Hongying pried her hands away and chased her away, saying, "Don't come looking for me again. The Zhang family can't even tolerate me, let alone you. All of this is thanks to our mother who suddenly went crazy. If you want to find someone, go find her."
Meanwhile, Li Banxia, whom the two sisters were thinking about, had already met up with Su Lao Er.
Li Banxia asked him, "Have you figured it out?"
Su Lao Er shook his head.
