Chapter 481 She can read now
"Su Fengtiao, you beast! You beat your own father! You deserve to be struck by lightning! You'll be punished! Why did I retire and get a pension? It's all because of you good-for-nothings, you all followed in the footsteps of that Li Banxia..."
Su Youfu wanted to curse her as a bastard, but Su Laosan was glaring at him coldly with the fire tongs in hand, so he changed his words, "...their manhood! Not a single one of them is like mine!"
"Pah!"
Su Laosan spat, "How am I not like you? I'm eight hundred times more like you! Cunning, treacherous, lazy, shameless, which one of them haven't I inherited from you? Not only have I inherited your skills, but I've surpassed you..."
Su Youfu is going to be driven crazy by Su Laosan.
It was the same last time; I couldn't out-argue him, and I couldn't out-beat him!
Trying to reason with him is like casting pearls before swine!
Treason!
They're all rebellious children!
"What are you going to do if I absolutely refuse to give it to you?" Su Youfu asked through gritted teeth.
Su Laosan glanced at him, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'll beat you until you give it to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and slapped her on the buttocks with a pair of fire tongs
"ah!"
Su Youfu hadn't expected him to be serious. A burning pain instantly shot through his buttocks, making him gasp. "You little brat..."
"Should we give it to them or not?"
"……Give!"
Su Youfu didn't want to take a second hit. His arm was already bleeding. Although the previous hits on his buttocks weren't as painful as this one, those were metal lumps, and they still hurt a lot when they hit his buttocks!
Since the final result is to give money anyway, why should he be beaten until he bleeds before bowing his head and paying?
Of course, you should use it before the damage is minimized!
Su Laosan tossed aside the fire tongs with some regret. "Fine, I'll trust you one last time. If there's a next time, I'll tear this place down. If I don't give it to your own daughter, then nobody else will get any! Give the money to her when she gets back, or I'll come back tomorrow!"
Su Youfu glared at him, his teeth clenched.
"knew."
Su Laosan didn't think his threats were effective.
He went outside, hailed a taxi, and waited for Boss Su outside the factory gate.
Boss Su came out shortly after.
The two brothers looked at each other in the car and both sighed.
Su Laosan recounted what had happened in Su Youfu's yard. Su Laoda remained silent for a while before reminding Su Laosan, "Although what he did was wrong, he is still our biological father. Be careful about the consequences. Don't let anyone find fault with you and it could affect your grocery store, and... your child."
Su Laosan was stunned for a moment.
He glanced at Boss Su in surprise, raised an eyebrow, and chuckled mischievously, "I know, don't worry, big brother, I know what I'm doing. I'm only spanking Su Youfu's bottom, hehe. Mom used to like spanking him. If he's shameless, he can show his bottom to others. I bet he still has some shame..."
Su Laoda glared at him.
Su Laosan chuckled, getting angry at the thought of Su Youfu. "Do you think he's out of his mind? He believes everything Lin Jiefang says. Does he really plan to wait for Lin Jiefang to come out and have him take care of him in his old age? Nobody's going to listen to him..."
Boss Su nodded.
He said, "He doesn't trust us, his own children, and thinks we're unreliable. Lin Jiefang just said a few nice words and he was easily fooled. Judging from his plans, he's really pinning his hopes for his old age on Lin Jiefang. He won't wake up until he's sick and bedridden, until he sees Lin Jiefang's true colors. Third brother..."
"Um?"
"Keep a close eye on him from now on. Dad always causes trouble whenever Lin Jiefang comes back. It was the same last time and it's happening again this time. If all else fails, try to find a way to stop him from visiting you in prison," Old Master Su said.
Su Laosan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it. My uncle works in the public security system now, I'll go ask him if he has any ideas."
"Okay, then it's up to you."
Su Laosan asked the driver to take Su Laoda to Tsinghua and Peking Universities. Su Laoda looked at Su Laosan's profile, his mouth moved as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Upon arriving at Tsinghua and Peking Universities, Su Laosan watched Su Laoda get out of the car, then grabbed the window and said, "Brother, I still have things to do at the shop, so I won't see you in. Be careful not to run into Su Xiaosi, and don't let him fool you with a few words, okay?"
Old Master Su was both amused and exasperated.
He nodded and said, "I understand, you can go ahead and get back to work."
"Master, let's go." Only then did Su Laosan turn around and tell the driver to turn around.
Su Laosan returned to the grocery store and went straight to the office.
He grabbed the receiver with one hand and hesitated for a moment while pressing the number with the other. After a few beeps, the call was answered.
Without wasting words, Su Laosan asked directly, "Is your shop for sale?"
"Are you crazy? We're doing just fine, why would we transfer the business? We're not transferring it..."
"The price is negotiable..."
Su Hongmei was somewhat absent-minded all day, thinking about going to her boss after get off work and trying to plead her case so he would lend her some money so she could pay for her books and tuition first, and then work at the restaurant every weekend to pay back the money.
When she got off work, she went to Sister Li, who was in charge of the money, to collect her summer job wages.
Sister Li looked at her with a strange expression.
Su Hongmei was a little afraid of being penalized, so she smiled and said, "Sister Li, I work very hard and I haven't been lazy. You can ask the other people in the store if you don't believe me."
Sister Li nodded, took out her abacus, and calculated Su Hongmei's working hours and daily wages for part-time jobs.
After calculating, I handed her a wad of cash.
He said, “You’ve been here for eighty-three days, at two yuan a day, so it should have been one hundred and sixty-six yuan. But we just got a new boss this afternoon. The new boss said that students working here get an extra fifty percent pay for part-time jobs, so yours went up to three yuan a day, making it two hundred and forty-nine yuan in total. I’ll add one yuan to make it two hundred and fifty yuan. The boss heard you’re going to school to register tomorrow, so he gave you an extra fifty yuan, making it three hundred…”
Su Hongmei's eyes lit up, her nose suddenly stung, her eyes burned, and tears instantly filled her eyes, threatening to fall.
She quickly bowed deeply, using the gesture to let her tears fall, "Thank you, Sister Li, thank you, new boss, thank you..."
Sister Li sighed.
Waving his hand, he said, "The new boss said that after you go to school, you can come over on weekends too. You'll be paid three yuan a day, and the working hours are eight hours. You can leave work when you're done. You can also come to the store to help out after school. You'll be paid three yuan a day for working eight hours."
"Thank you, thank you, I will definitely come!"
Su Hongmei smiled, but tears kept streaming down her face. Sister Li looked at her, stood up, put the money in an envelope, and handed it to her. "Study hard. Knowledge can change your destiny. You were able to get into high school under such difficult conditions. You will definitely get into university in three years. Su Hongmei, your future will definitely get better and better. Keep going."
"Yes, I'm sure I'll get into university, and my future will definitely get better and better. Thank you, Sister Li!"
Holding the envelope, Su Hongmei bowed solemnly to Sister Li.
"Let's go home, it's late."
Sister Li patted her on the shoulder, took out a dollar from her pocket and gave it to her, "Take the bus back, don't walk anymore, it's too far."
Su Hongmei nodded with a smile.
She still couldn't bear to spend money on the night bus, so she stuffed the money inside her clothes and ran all the way back to the residential area.
All the way there, she kept calculating in her mind that with these three hundred yuan, she could borrow another fifty yuan and make up for the cost of her books and tuition. Great! She could go to school now.
She can go to school now...
