Fenglan: "Well, Mom got hurt, and the third brother was very angry. So he took back the shop that was given to me. When the third brother's men were taking over the shop, they had a disagreement with your brother-in-law's two sons. The third brother's men were beaten, and your brother-in-law's sons were arrested. The kids didn't know what was going on at the time, and they probably acted impulsively. It's all a misunderstanding. Can you ask the third brother not to pursue this and to release the kids?"
Su Mo: "Big sister, your two stepsons are both over twenty years old and adults, right? Don't they know how this shop came to belong to the Song family? Didn't you say anything?"
“They know,” Fenglan answered softly.
"Knowing this, you still tried to stop it. Does that mean you think this is their property? Sister, there were conditions when you were given this shop. Xing'an was only thinking of you when he made those conditions."
You should know what kind of person Xing'an is. It would be more painful for him than to swallow a fly if he could support the Song family for you. But in order to keep you from bothering your parents, he gritted his teeth and endured supporting your family.
"But the Song family didn't do it. I don't think there's any problem with Xing'an taking back the shop. Your stepsons dared to take action, and your mother-in-law dared to speak recklessly, probably because you gave them the confidence to act with impunity. Everyone has to be responsible for their own actions, and so do your stepsons," Su Mo said calmly.
"I know I've let down my third son, and I've let down Mom and Dad. It's all my fault. I promise I'll never drag my family down again. Whether things are good or bad, I'll never go back to beg my family for help. The children are still young and don't understand. Please let them off the hook, okay?"
Fenglan knew everything, but she still did it for the Song family.
"Sister, you've come to the wrong person. Xing'an isn't a law enforcement agency. I think you should ask the victim for forgiveness instead. I'm a bit busy, so I'll head back now," Su Mo said, getting up to leave.
Fenglan was confused for a moment, "Wasn't it Lao San's people who were injured?"
“Sister, he’s a worker at Xing’an Factory, just like your shop’s employees. Can you make decisions for him? He has his own ideas. It’s no use going to Xing’an. He’s already overwhelmed with work-related injuries and can’t help you.” After saying that, Su Mo left.
Fenglan rushed out, and Song Shiyu quickly greeted her, "Well? Did you agree?"
"Su Mo said that as long as the injured person doesn't pursue the matter, the children should be fine. Let's hurry and find the injured person."
Song Shiyu: "Isn't that your third brother's man?"
Fenglan: "They are factory workers; it's their business, and they and their families have the final say."
Song Shiyu thought it made sense and quickly went to the police station.
Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Feng Lan and Song Shiyu leave. If things really got out of hand, it wouldn't look good for anyone.
She called her third brother and said, "It's all settled. Eldest sister has left with Song Shiyu."
The third brother had already guessed that Fenglan would go to find Su Mo, so he told Su Mo in advance not to go out and to ignore them.
"You left? You met with your eldest sister, and they didn't cause any trouble?" The third brother had just heard from Uncle Ge that Chunni almost had Song Shiyu castrated. Chunni's fierceness made the third brother feel a chill down his spine.
“Everything’s been explained clearly, so what’s there to make a fuss about?” Su Mo said smugly.
"Explain yourself? Can my eldest sister understand human speech? She just repeats the same few phrases over and over again, 'Help me, this is the last time, I have no other choice, for the sake of our many years of friendship...' The third brother vividly imitated the phrases that Fenglan often said."
Su Mo chuckled. "Have some decency. You should learn from your older sister."
"What can I do with a woman whose brain is so big? If it weren't for Manman, I wouldn't care about her at all. She's like Pigsy carrying his wife, only to be tricked by the monkey. I get angry just looking at her. Honey, tell me, what did you say that made them leave without making a fuss?" the third brother asked curiously.
Su Mo: "Let's just shift the blame. Things have to be resolved eventually. Driving a dog into a dead end will only backfire. If you're willing, then we'll call it a day. At worst, we won't help, but there's no need to kick someone when they're down. I've told them to go and negotiate directly with the injured person. Don't interfere. Let them resolve it themselves."
