Chapter 87: Since we can’t save Su Chengzong anyway, let’s not waste our time
Mrs. Wei said calmly, "Mother-in-law, if your Cheng Zong could have raised money within a day or two, he wouldn't have been chased for debt like this."
Su's mother stopped crying.
Old Man Yu sighed and said slowly, "My dear, did Cheng Zong of your family also gamble in the past? Did you pay back the money he owed in the end?"
Both Su's father and mother's eyes were obviously evasive.
When Old Man Yu saw it, he understood everything.
"It is precisely because you have paid him back every time that Su Chengzong naturally no longer regards silver as money." Old Man Yu sighed, "One hundred taels of silver, we farmers may not be able to earn this amount even if we work in the fields for a lifetime. How dare he..."
Su's father and mother are like a thorn in their throats.
After a while, Su's mother covered her face and burst into tears: "What should we do? Where can we get a hundred taels of silver? This is asking our whole family to die!"
How could Su Rouer bear to hear her own mother crying like this in front of her.
She couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
Su's mother cried and grabbed Su Rou'er's hand: "...Rou'er, last night, that bastard Qian took Dabao and Xiaobao and took away all the valuable things in their house and returned to my mother's home. You are the only one I can rely on. You must help your brother with this matter and save his life!"
Mrs. Wei got furious when she heard this!
But she didn't say anything and just waited to see how Su Rouer would handle it.
Su Rouer cried even harder: "Mom, I gave you all the money I had yesterday. Where do I have any money left?"
Su's mother kept glancing at Grandma Wei: "You have a large family, so you can always think of a solution..."
The meaning is obvious.
Su Rouer cried even harder, gasping for breath: "Mom, what do you mean?...Does my husband's family owe my eldest brother? Why should I clean up the mess that is my eldest brother's gambling dog!"
If it were in the past, she might have had the same idea that the Yu family should help their Su family.
But after so many things happened in the past few days, she has slowly changed.
How did the Su family treat her and her in-laws before? At this time, how could they have the nerve to force her in-laws to wade into this trouble through her?
Su's mother was anxious: "What are you talking about? Aren't we all one family? ... Isn't it normal for family members to help each other?"
Su Rouer was extremely disappointed.
She cried uncontrollably, but she was still firm and slowly pulled her hand out from Su's mother's.
"Mother, please save some face for your daughter. What do you mean by helping each other? What have you done for the Yu family? You just want to suck the blood of the Yu family through your daughter!" Su Rouer cried hoarsely, "The Su family is my home, but the Yu family is also my home, and it is also the home of my man and my baby!"
Mother Su's hands were empty. She looked at Su Rou'er in shock, feeling a little flustered. However, Su Chengzong's life was at stake, so she didn't care about anything else. She cried and questioned Su Rou'er, "Okay, do you want me to kneel down and beg you?!"
Having said that, Su's mother was about to kneel down in front of Su Rouer.
Su Rouer knelt down first, crying even more miserably: "Mother!"
She cried miserably, "If you force me again, I will have no choice but to ask my mother-in-law for a divorce and go back to the Su family with you!"
After Su's mother was shocked, she went crazy and beat Su Rouer: "You are so cruel that you want to watch your eldest brother die!"
Mother Wei grabbed Su's mother and said, "Mother-in-law, the third son's wife is still the daughter-in-law of my Yu family. You beat her in front of us. Are you doing it for us to see?"
Mother Wei had great strength in her hands, and Su's mother's arm was grabbed tightly, so she couldn't move it even if she tried.
"Mother-in-law..." Su's mother turned pale, "You are also a mother, tell me, what should I do at this time?"
Mrs. Wei said calmly, "Isn't this easy to handle? ... If Su Chengzong dares to owe a hundred taels of silver, let him pay it back himself. If he can't pay it back, let him pay it back to the people working like slaves in the casino. If that doesn't work, doesn't he still have a life?"
Mrs. Wei's words were so cold and merciless that Su's father and mother took a deep breath when they heard them.
"It turns out he's not your own son!" Su's mother's eyes were burning with anger. She raised her voice, "If he was your own son, would you still be so cruel?!"
Mother Wei also raised her voice, over Su's mother's, and said to the ground: "If it were my son, I would never let him go to this point! He can't control his hands and always gambles, so I will chop off his hands! How can he gamble without hands? - Su Chengzong's fate today is entirely due to your connivance, he deserves it!"
Su's father and mother were stunned, their lips moved but they couldn't speak at all.
After Mrs. Wei finished singing the good-looking role, Old Man Yu started singing the bad-looking role.
He turned and walked into the inner room, and took out a coin box.
Hope rekindled in Su's father and mother's eyes!
Old Man Yu sighed, "My dear relatives, you all know our family situation. Although we were lucky enough to earn some money from picking up herbs and pearls, the third son went out to do business, and the four brothers in the family were all sent to school, so there was no money left."
He unlocked the purse with a click and poured out the contents.
There were some broken silver and copper plates inside.
Old Man Yu grabbed dozens of copper coins and put them back into the cash box. Then he pushed all the copper coins and silver pieces on the table to Su's father and mother.
"My dear relatives, this is all the money we have left. To be honest, whether your Su Chengzong lives or dies has nothing to do with us, but you have supported the third son's wife, we can't just ignore her-" Old Man Yu said politely, "But let me say this in advance, we have done our utmost to give you this money. Don't force the third son's wife anymore."
Normally, at this point, most people would just take the money and leave.
But Su's father and mother thought that since you can come up with all this, if you borrow from your relatives, you will definitely be able to come up with more.
Father Su coughed and did not take the money. He just said, "My dear, this is only a few taels of silver. How can it be enough? Otherwise, go and borrow some more?"
Su's mother also said: "...Yes, mother-in-law, since your nephew from your mother's side is a thug in the casino, I think there should be some spare money at home. Please go and help borrow some money... Save our Chengzong's life!"
Old Man Yu and Mrs. Wei were both stunned!
After Su Rouer was shocked, she felt like her whole body was burning with anger!
Her father and her mother really have no shame at all!
Su Rouer's eyes were red and she gritted her teeth. She simply took her skirt and swept all the copper plates and silver coins on the table into her skirt. Then she ran to the inner room and poured all the copper plates and silver coins in her skirt onto the kang in the inner room.
Su Rouer ran back with red eyes: "Dad, Mom, let's go! Since you think this money is too little, then don't take it! Anyway, you can't save Su Chengzong, so don't waste it!"
