Chapter 242 Does your family have the money to support idlers?
Sensing the sadness in her voice, Su Laosan paused and coughed lightly.
She said, "Su Hongying, if you really learn your lesson, divorce Zhang Haijun and stay far away from that scumbag. Mom can't keep cleaning up your messes forever..."
After saying that, he felt that his words were a bit rough, scratched his head, and said with a stiff neck, "The words are rough but the meaning is correct. Think about it yourself."
"I understand, a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit."
Su Hongying said, "I've already died once, how could I possibly be bewitched by the Zhang family again?"
"...It sounds so true..."
Su Laosan glanced at her, half believing and half doubting.
Boss Su came in carrying a lunchbox, smiling as he looked at the two of them. "What are you talking about? You seem to be having a good time."
Su Laosan and Su Hongying exchanged a glance.
Su Laosan shrugged. "It's about how you grow based on what you eat."
Boss Su, "..."
Su Hongying mocked Su Laosan and repeated what she had just said to Su Laoda.
The eldest Su said "Oh," looked at the third Su, and said, "Didn't I explain it to you last time? Didn't you remember? The meaning of 'learn from one's mistakes' is that after suffering a loss or being cheated, one learns from the pain and setback, strengthens one's abilities, and avoids making similar mistakes in the future..."
Su Laosan nodded dejectedly, feeling utterly overwhelmed.
"Brother, I understand. I want to go and call the caregiver to help Su Hongying get out of bed and move around."
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
Boss Su sighed, "Eat something first, then go..."
The person has already disappeared.
Only the brother and sister remained in the ward. The elder brother looked at Su Hongying and said gently, "Things will turn around. Don't think too much. Things will get better. If you don't want a divorce..."
Why don't I get a divorce?
Su Hongying frowned, interrupting Su Laoda, and said, "Brother, I don't want to die yet. I'm definitely going to get a divorce."
"...That child?"
Su Hongying shook her head, "I don't want the child. It's the Zhang family's child, they should raise it themselves."
Boss Su frowned, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
They said, "You're an adult now, you can make your own decisions. Once you've made a decision, don't look back. Go boldly forward, we will always be your strong support."
Su Hongying looked at Su Laoda and suddenly smiled.
"What's wrong?" Boss Su asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly realized why Mom only likes you out of all our siblings," Su Hongying said with a smile.
The eldest son, Su, nodded in confusion and disagreed, saying, "Mom loves me and she loves you all too. We're all her own children, flesh and blood of her own flesh. If anything happens to any of us, it's like tearing a piece of her heart out..."
Su Hongying recalled the moment when she was on the verge of death, and a nurse rushed in shouting, "The mother of the new mother is here! She has signed the papers and can have the surgery!" She felt a sense of salvation, as if a ray of light had been illuminating her heart.
Remembering what the nurse said about Li Banxia's precarious situation and how she could barely stand, the first thing she saw when she woke up was her mother's bloodshot eyes.
Su Hongying sighed softly.
The eldest brother was still saying, "...Don't follow your second brother's biased ways. Your second brother doesn't do that anymore..."
"good."
Su Hongying smiled and nodded, then called out to Su Laoda, "Big Brother, I'm a little tired and want to take a nap."
"You sleep, I'll stay with you," Old Su said hurriedly.
Su Hongying closed her eyes and asked Su Laoda, "Big brother, isn't today the second day of the Lunar New Year? Aren't you taking your sister-in-law back to her parents' home to visit relatives?"
"Yes, we're not going. The two children are too young to take with us..."
Su Laoda got up and closed the ward door to block out the noise outside. He explained to Su Hongying, "Since I found out about your accident, Mom hasn't slept for a day and a night. I can't leave right now, and your sister-in-law can't go back to her parents' home alone. When I came to the hospital, I called your sister-in-law's family on the way. They don't care about this and told me to take care of you first. You are more important right now."
"...I am more important."
Su Hongying murmured these words, her eyes welling up with tears. She hummed in agreement and said, "It's fine."
Su Laoda helped her tuck the blanket in.
She said, "You'll get better too, don't be afraid, go to sleep."
"Um."
Su Hongying drifted off to sleep.
Su Laosan arrived with his men. Seeing that Su Hongying was asleep, he frowned at Su Laoda and said, "Brother, didn't you say she should get out of bed and move around? Why are you letting her sleep? She's never gotten out of bed before. The nurse said she needs to get out and move around, otherwise she's prone to blood clots..."
Boss Su, "...I forgot, Hongying said she was tired, so I..."
"It's alright, I'll come back later, it'll be the same," the nurse said hurriedly.
Su Laosan smiled and apologized. After seeing the nurse off, the two brothers took their lunchboxes, left the room, closed the door, and ate their meal on the bench by the door, talking quietly.
Su Laosan recounted the conversation he overheard between Su Hongying and Zhang Haijun, and then asked Su Laoda, "Brother, do you think she's serious?"
“She’s angry, and we have to let her vent her anger. The Zhang family… they’ve treated Hongying like this, they deserve to be taught a lesson.”
The eldest Su looked at the third Su and said, "You have more free time than me, so keep an eye on her and don't let her suffer."
"I know, it's..."
Su Laosan clicked his tongue and rubbed his cheek. "...I think this is a bit surreal. Su Hongying used to like Zhang Haijun so much. After escaping death once, she actually grew smarter and managed to charm Zhang Haijun so much."
Boss Su nodded.
"She was able to come to her senses, so her brush with death wasn't in vain."
The two brothers ate and talked, with the third brother, Su, offering unreliable and bad ideas. The eldest brother would occasionally glance at the ward door, trying to suppress the third brother's bad ideas. The meal was quite difficult.
Meanwhile, Zhang Haijun, having been brainwashed by Su Hongying, returned to the newborn's room. Seeing Zheng Xiulan peering at her grandson through the glass, he inexplicably remembered Su Hongying's words and casually asked, "Mom, someone in our workshop said the old director is going to hand over his job to his son. The position of workshop director might be vacant. Can you give me some money? I'll go to the leader's house and try to smooth things over. Maybe I can get promoted from deputy to director."
Zheng Xiulan didn't even turn her head and refused outright.
He said, "Why waste that money? You're a gem. Whether you bribe your superiors or not, they'll see you shining."
Zhang Haijun's heart sank instantly.
What did his mother mean by that?
She's a junior leader in the union, doesn't she know the importance of cultivating relationships? These days, you can't climb the ranks just by being capable; even Su Hongying, who's never worked before, knows this. How could her mother not know?!
Zhang Haijun pursed his lips and said, "I'm just worried that if I don't get promoted, people in the workshop will gossip about me. The factory isn't doing well, and if I don't get promoted, I might have to quit. Mom, what will we do if I lose my job? Will our family have enough money to support the three of us who are unemployed?"
Zheng Xiulan finally turned around and looked at him.
