Chapter 84 I Agree to a Divorce
"dad?"
Old Man Su pursed his lips, raised his eyes and glared at Su Laosan, "What's it to you!"
Su Laosan exclaimed "Eek!"
The disdain was palpable. "Dad, you haven't been doing anything shady behind Mom's back, have you?"
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Old Man Su's thoughts were exposed, his face darkened, and he became furious and slapped the fan at the old man.
"Hey……"
Su Laosan rolled to the side to avoid Su Laotou's slap.
He yelled, "Dad, you're feeling guilty? You actually did it?! You better not let Mom find out, or she'll give you a good spanking!"
Old Man Su, "..."
You brat, why do you have to bring up something you shouldn't say!
Thinking of his still excruciatingly painful buttocks, Old Man Su was furious.
He grabbed the palm-leaf fan and swung it at Su Laosan.
"Serves you right for being so cheeky..."
Su Laosan cried out twice, and seeing that Su Laotou's first fan had missed, he swung it down again, using all sorts of martial arts on the bed to roll and dodge.
Old Su missed his target and ended up panting heavily.
When he stopped to rest, Su Laosan quickly got out of bed, slipped on his sandals, and hid behind the gauze curtain by the door.
"You brat, you better stop right there!"
Old Su took a deep breath, and Su Laosan clicked his tongue, looking at Old Su and saying, "Dad, your stamina isn't what it used to be. I didn't even leave the house, and you didn't hit me once. When Mom hit me with the fire tongs, she didn't miss a single time..."
Who's out of energy?
Who's running out of energy!
Old Su was so angry he was practically fuming.
Don't compare me to your shrewish mother!
He glared fiercely at Su Laosan, threw down his fan, and said he was done fighting!
He can't hit anything and he'll only exhaust himself; he's not exactly bored.
He plopped down on the edge of the bed and waved to Su Laosan, "Go find your mother and tell her I'm waiting for her at home. Tell her to come back immediately!"
Su Laosan blinked.
Then he remembered where his mother had gone and called to Old Man Su, "My mother is still angry with you. This morning she told my second brother to go to Widow He's house to find you and ask you to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce. Didn't you know?"
"What Widow He? Call her Aunt He!"
Old Man Su spat.
"She thinks she can just get a divorce? Dream on! She's not getting her money back, no way."
After saying that, he paused, frowned, and looked at Su Laosan, "Your second brother went to your Aunt He's house? I didn't see him?"
Su Laosan glanced outside and said "Oh".
"I don't know, someone just called my second brother to answer the phone, saying it was my mom calling..."
Old Su breathed a slight sigh of relief and muttered, "That's good."
What he just said to Peach Blossom was really not something the second son should hear.
It would be best if you didn't go.
"Alright, you go out and find someone now."
Su Laosan didn't want to move and muttered, "My mom orders me around, and you order me around. It's so hard to sleep in..."
"Go quickly!"
Su Laosan lifted the gauze curtain and went out. He hadn't gone far from the courtyard when he saw Su Laoer walking back towards him. He quickly greeted him and called him "Second Brother".
The two entered the courtyard one after the other.
Old Man Su stood under the eaves and asked Su Lao Er, "Where's your mother?"
"My mother is waiting for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau to go and complete the divorce procedures with her." Su Lao Er's expression was indifferent, revealing no emotion.
Old Man Su snorted coldly, "Go call her and tell her that if she wants a divorce, she should return the money; otherwise, there's no point in discussing it!"
Su Lao Er glanced at him.
He said, "If you want to negotiate with my mom, go ahead and do it yourself. I won't pass on the message."
Old Man Su glared at Su Lao Er with a cold look in his eyes, "You think I can't order you around? Hurry up and go."
"I'm not going."
Su Lao Er lowered his head slightly, but his eyes were fixed on Su Lao Tou.
Old Su opened his mouth to curse, but when he looked at his second son's eyes, which were squinted from looking down at people, his voice caught in his throat, and he felt inexplicably afraid.
He glanced at Su Laosan, frowned, and pondered for a moment, thinking that this kid's attitude...
Could it be that she overheard what he said to Peach Blossom?
That shouldn't be the case; he didn't see the second brother pass by the entrance of Peach Blossom Courtyard.
But being stared at like that by his own son, and having just said he was using his children as a pretext, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
He could only mutter a few curses to cover up his true feelings, and then someone else went to call Su Laosan.
Su Laosan was speechless.
Old Man Su glared at him, "You really want me to divorce your mother? With divorced parents, who would dare to marry you if word got out?!"
"ah?"
Su Laosan's face fell. "...We don't want to, but what my mother said is right. A woman marries a man to provide for her family. Dad, you don't bring money back to support the family, and you just sit around doing nothing all day. You don't care about my mother. Anyway, my mother is the one who takes care of everything inside and outside. It's the same whether you're here or not. Why should my mother stay with you?"
After saying that, he looked at Su Lao Er, sighed, and slapped his thigh.
"Second brother, no wonder Mom wants me to find a job and scolds me for being as useless as Dad. If I really were like that, Erniu would definitely spank me to death."
Old Man Su, "..."
"Just say what you want, why are you cursing at me? Do you think I'm some kind of son who dares to curse me?! You little brats..."
Old Su was so angry that his chest felt tight.
Su Lao Er glanced at the father and son, then turned and walked outside.
"Hey, second brother, where are you going?"
Su Lao Er ignored him and went straight out of the courtyard.
Old Man Su wanted to send Su Laosan to the Civil Affairs Bureau to call Li Banxia back, but Su Laosan refused to go and said he wanted to go find his second brother.
One was unmanageable, and the other two were lazy and cunning. Old Man Su was so angry that he had no choice but to ride his bicycle to the Civil Affairs Bureau to find Li Banxia.
Li Banxia has to pay back this money today, whether he wants to or not!
She's been spoiled and hasn't paid him any attention these past few days.
On the way there, he kept thinking about how to defeat her in one fell swoop. Li Banxia wanted a divorce and wanted to love her child, which was her weakness. If he could just kill those two, would he still be afraid of her disobeying him?!
Old Su, looking confident of victory, endured the pain of his bottom not being able to touch the seat, gritted his teeth, and pedaled his bicycle with his bottom half-suspended in the air at a high difficulty, until he arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Upon inquiry, it turned out that "...I've never seen it before."
"Someone borrowed the phone and left a long time ago."
Old Man Su, "..."
He called the street office near the auto parts factory, and the person who answered chuckled and said, "...What a coincidence! Ten minutes ago, your wife got off the bus and greeted me. She should be home by now..."
Old Man Su, "..."
He hung up the phone and rushed back. His buttocks were sore, and it was the middle of the day and very hot. He was covered in sweat, and when he got to the family quarters, he looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.
I'm exhausted.
He pushed the cart into the yard, panting, and saw Li Banxia standing at the door waiting for him with a cucumber in her hand.
The two little rascals, the second and third, each held a cucumber and were crunching away at it.
Hearing the noise, they all looked up at him.
Old Su's anger was like the midday sun, burning fiercely and threatening to scorch people!
"Li Banxia, I agree to divorce you..."
