What did he say in Chapter 63?
Su Lao Er was very upset about losing his good job and the wife he was about to marry.
It's true that he doesn't like the job, but it's a secure job. If he loses his secure job, he can find another one himself. If he had that ability, would his mother need to pull strings and spend money to buy him a job?
He knows his own limitations.
Su Laosan sighed, "If only Mom didn't force me to find a job. My Erniu said she would give up everything as long as I treat her well."
"The third brother?"
Older Su couldn't understand, and was somewhat exasperated, saying, "That girl married you without asking for anything in return. How are you going to support your wife and kids if you don't work?"
"hehe."
Su Laosan gave a dry laugh and muttered, "But we still have Mom, don't we?"
"You still want to rely on your mother to support your whole family for the rest of your life?!" Old Su glared at him.
Su Laosan immediately wilted, raised his hand to ruffle his hair into a mess, and said, "Big brother, stop talking. I don't like what you're saying."
"I can't bear to look at what you've done," Old Master Su said, furious.
The eldest son's wife thought for a moment and asked Su Laosan what he liked to do in his spare time. She thought she would ask her family to see if there were any suitable job opportunities. Helping her brother-in-law was helping her mother, and her mother should be happy.
Then Su Laosan asked, "...Does sleeping in count?"
The eldest son's wife, "..."
She patted her husband, pretending nothing had happened, and said, "Let's eat."
Su Lao Er scoffed.
Su Laosan sighed repeatedly.
Su Xiaosi looked at this and that, wanting to say something but then shut her mouth.
Su Hongmei secretly ate her rice, not offering any opinion from beginning to end. After all, she was a girl and would get married sooner or later, so it was best for her not to get involved in her brothers' affairs, lest she incur their resentment.
After finishing his meal, Su Lao Er pushed his bowl away and went back to his room.
Su Laosan glanced at it, wiped his mouth, and stood up to go back to the house.
He glanced at his eldest son's wife's belly, clicked his tongue, took his bowl to the well to rinse it, put it in the kitchen, and then went back to his room.
As soon as he entered the room, he chased after Su Lao Er, "Second brother, who's going to wash your dishes for you? Believe me, Mom will beat you when she gets back."
Su Lao Er: "...Don't try to scare me with Mom."
"Then when Mom comes back, I'll tell her that you didn't cook, didn't wash the dishes, and didn't do any cleaning, and you're just waiting for your pregnant sister-in-law to do it for you..."
Su Lao Er glared at Su Lao San, "Aren't you annoying!"
He turned over, not wanting to pay any attention to Su Laosan, but when he thought of Li Banxia's fierce determination to call the police to arrest him, his heart skipped a beat. He gritted his teeth, got up, and went out to wash the dishes.
Seeing that her two older brothers had washed, Su Hongmei followed suit.
Only Su Xiaosi, taking it for granted, put down her chopsticks and went back to her room.
The eldest son and his wife exchanged a glance. The eldest son's wife frowned slightly but didn't say anything.
The next morning, Su Xiaosi saw Su Hongmei washing her pinafore dress and wanted her to wash her clothes too.
If he doesn't wash his clothes soon, he'll have nothing to wear; he's been accumulating them for two whole weeks.
He grabbed a huge pile of clothes and threw them in front of Su Hongmei, who shook her head and refused.
She said, "Fourth Brother, it will take you at least three hours to wash this pile of clothes. I also have a ton of homework to review. I have my final exams next week and then it'll be summer vacation. I don't have that much free time."
Seeing that Su Xiaosi's face was not good, he looked up and happened to catch sight of the eldest son's wife. He called out loudly, "Sister-in-law, Fourth Brother wants you to help him wash his clothes."
The eldest son's wife, holding the dishes that Su Laoda had ladled from the pot, glanced at the brother and sister.
Su Xiaosi was caught in a dilemma, so she had no choice but to go along with it and said, "Thank you for your trouble, sister-in-law."
"No, Mom said I should do things myself."
The eldest son's wife didn't agree, and told Su Xiaosi to look at the paper posted on the kitchen wall herself, "Look, it's written on the wall."
Su Xiaosi then saw the notice posted by Li Banxia about taking turns cooking and cleaning the yard.
As a result, she ran away for a week, and no one at home wrote down which day to cook, so naturally no one followed the rules, and the eldest son and his wife did all the cooking.
The eldest daughter-in-law felt that her mother-in-law didn't want to spoil her younger siblings, and that as the eldest, they should listen to her and not be spoiled.
Su Xiaosi frowned and called to Su Laoda, "Big brother, I still have a lot of test papers to do. Washing clothes takes too much time. I'll just do it this time. I'll wash them for Mom when she comes back next week. Can you ask your sister-in-law to help me out?"
"Little Four, what your sister-in-law just said was Mom's idea." The eldest brother glanced at his younger brother and frowned in disapproval.
Just as Su Xiaosi was about to get angry, she looked up and saw Li Banxia enter the room carrying a tattered cloth bag.
"Wash your own clothes, Su Yushun. How dare you ask your pregnant sister-in-law to wash your clothes?" Li Banxia glared at Su Xiaosi as she entered the room.
The eldest daughter-in-law saw her and her eyes lit up with joy. "Mom, you're back!"
Seeing Li Banxia's travel-worn appearance, he frowned.
"Hey, you're back. I bought your favorite soup dumplings. Boss, quickly get the dish for the pickled vegetables, be careful the soup doesn't spill..."
Li Banxia handed over the bag she was carrying. Before Su Laoda could even open his mouth, Su Laosan rushed over like a whirlwind, "I'll do it, I'll do it, Mom, you're finally back..."
Su Xiaosi, "...Mom, I don't have time, I have to participate in the math competition..."
Li Banxia looked at him, "Wasn't I clear enough just now?"
Su Xiaosi looked down at the huge pile of clothes, feeling somewhat annoyed.
"Why at this crucial moment? I wish I could stretch every hour into two, and use every hour of my third brother's time. I'm even timing my sleep and bathroom breaks so I can win a prize in the competition and buy you a watch. Why can't you understand me?"
What are you shouting for?
The eldest daughter-in-law couldn't stand it anymore and strode forward, blocking Li Banxia's path. "You asked Mom to be understanding, but have you been understanding of Mom? Mom has been working so hard outside for so long, her eye sockets are sunken, and she's all bruised, didn't you see? You don't care about Mom's health, and you're yelling at her like that, what are you doing?!"
Only after these words were spoken did the others notice Li Banxia's messy hair, her somewhat yellow and bloodless face, and her wrinkled clothes.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Old Master Su rushed over and gently helped Li Banxia up.
Li Banxia waved her hand, "It's alright."
She patted her eldest daughter-in-law's hand, looked at Su Xiaosi, and said, "You weren't home when I said this before. I'll say it again: from now on, everyone in this family should do their own things. We don't support idlers in this family. If you can stay, stay; if you can't, you can leave. I won't force you!"
"mom?!"
Su Xiaosi's face turned pale, and she stared at Li Banxia in disbelief.
The second and third brothers of the Su family were already used to it.
Great, his mother is attacking indiscriminately.
From now on, no one can be a hands-off manager.
"Also, were I serious about what I said that day?" Li Banxia asked finally.
Su Xiaosi was momentarily confused, then asked, "What did you say?"
