Chapter 149 Can’t delay any longer
Why should she serve this whole family? She vented her anger by clanking the pots and pans in the kitchen, but Old Lady Li in the upper room pretended not to hear.
Li Xiaoxiao came over in the afternoon. Because she was worried about Su, she came back early after finishing her work in the restaurant.
Li Laosan had to stay at home to take care of the three of them, mother and daughter, and could not go to work in the fields. When he saw Li Xiaoxiao coming, he asked her to see Su.
Pretending to feel Su's pulse, Li Xiaoxiao sighed and said earnestly, "Uncle San, Aunt San's illness can't be delayed any longer. You have to find a solution as soon as possible."
"I, I'll go and beg your grandparents again." An honest man doesn't have any ulterior motives. Li Laosan looked embarrassed. He had begged his parents several times, but apart from begging them, what else could he do?
Watching Li Laosan walking towards the main room, Daya, whose hand was originally wounded and was wrapped several times, looked out that there was no one outside the door, reached out and closed the door. Her movements were quick and natural, and she didn't look like she was injured at all.
Su also sat up from the bed and looked at Li Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, you are here."
"Aunt San, you are weak, just lie down on the bed and don't move." Li Xiaoxiao saw that she was about to get out of bed and quickly stopped her.
"I'm fine. I'm feeling much better now. Xiaoxiao, your medical skills are really great. A doctor came to see me this morning and he said the same thing as you did."
"Well, that's good. I saw that Daya and Erya had their hands wrapped. Did they notice?"
"No, they saw that Erya and I had serious injuries on our hands, with blisters all over them. They didn't even have time to hide, so how could they come to see if it was real?" Daya said angrily.
"Aunt San, don't be anxious. You must stay calm and don't let anything out in front of Uncle San." Li Xiaoxiao felt Su's pulse again. Her pulse had become much calmer. In fact, Su was still in good health. She just did too much work and did not get enough nutrition, which led to the fainting.
After we separate, I believe my body will recover soon.
"Xiaoxiao, if we can really divide the family this time, you will be our family's great benefactor, and we will remember your kindness forever." Su was a kind person. She knew that Li Xiaoxiao was not on good terms with the Li family, but Li Xiaoxiao was still willing to help her, and she was grateful from the bottom of her heart.
"Aunt San, please stop talking like that. I will treat anyone who treats me well. I have thought about letting you separate before, but I never had the chance. This opportunity is rare, so you must seize it. Otherwise, I don't know when I will have to wait for the next time."
Li Xiaoxiao was telling the truth. The third family was very kind to them, and Li Xiaoxiao remembered everything that had happened in the past.
"Also, you must keep calm and wait for my grandma to say we want to split up the family business. That way, you may get more things and the split will go more smoothly." Li Xiaoxiao knew Grandma Li's temper very well.
"I understand, Xiaoxiao, we will all listen to you." Su nodded. She knew that Li Xiaoxiao was smart, so she would do whatever Li Xiaoxiao said, and she would definitely not go wrong.
No matter how Li Laosan begged, Old Man Li and Old Lady Li refused to admit that they had given Su the disease treatment.
If there were still doubts about Li Xiaoxiao's words yesterday, thinking she was talking nonsense, the old doctor said the same thing today. Although he didn't pay him the medical fee in the end, Old Lady Li still believed what he said.
Su was indeed very ill, and it would cost a lot of money to see a doctor, which she was absolutely reluctant to do.
Old man Li in the upper room was sitting on the kang, puffing on his pipe, one puff after another, without even looking at Old Third Li who was kneeling on the ground.
Old Mrs. Li, who was sitting on the other side, had a droopy face and turned away impatiently, completely ignoring the existence of Li Laosan.
"Dad and Mom, please, please save the Su family. I will go out to work tomorrow and give all the money I earn to you two. Or you can write me an IOU and I will definitely pay you back when I have money in the future." Li Laosan kowtowed to them heavily again.
"What are you going to pay back with? You can only earn a few taels of silver a year as a farmhand. Can you ever earn 120 taels of silver in your lifetime?" Old Mrs. Li looked at him impatiently and spoke lightly. How could they possibly pay back that bitch Su with so little silver in their hands?
"If my son says he will pay it back, he will definitely pay it back. If not, I will work two jobs a day. As long as the Su company is doing well, I am willing to pay the debt for the rest of my life." Li Laosan said solemnly.
"I really don't know what kind of drug that bitch Su has poured into you. Now that our family is just getting better, she has become seriously ill. She is really a jinx that has destroyed our family's fortune. In my opinion, it is better not to have such a woman."
Old man Li, who was sitting on the kang and smoking, never said a word. The thick smoke obscured the expression on his face, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Dad, I have been working outside since I was a teenager, and I have to pay a lot of money every year. I promise I will work harder in the future." Li Laosan pleaded bitterly.
"What do you mean, Third Brother? You have to hand over the wages you earn, but your wife and children all eat and drink with the team. How much money have you spent on me over the years? You have no conscience, why don't you calculate this account? And I raised you from childhood with my own hands, and you don't calculate it."
Old Mrs. Li widened her triangular eyes and cursed viciously.
"It was not easy for us to raise you four brothers. We worked so hard without any help. We also took so much trouble to find you wives and you still blame us in the end. Oh, God, please send a thunderbolt to kill me, so that I won't be angry to death by everyone."
In the end, she just sat on the ground and howled, crying her heart out, as if she was the one who was wronged.
Seeing his mother crying and making a fuss, Li Laosan was at a loss as to what to say.
It was still Old Man Li who couldn't bear it anymore, so he stopped her: "Okay, old woman, the third brother is sensible, he knows that our life is difficult, he won't force us, you get up."
But the words he said shut Li Laosan's mouth. What else could he say? The next thing he said was that he was ignorant. Li Laosan was speechless and came out of the upper room dejectedly.
When he returned to the room, Li Xiaoxiao had already left, and Su was still lying quietly on the bed, just like before he left.
As soon as they saw him come in, Daya and Erya looked at him eagerly. Daya asked hurriedly, "Dad, when can we take Mom to see a doctor? Mom's illness can't wait any longer."
Li Laosan sighed softly, not daring to look her in the eye, and could only say, "There is not enough money at home right now, let's wait."
"Didn't uncle say before that our family would be rich once he became an official? Why is it that even though uncle is an official, we still have no money to treat mother?" The younger Erya asked pretending to be ignorant.
