Chapter 150 Someone from the Su family comes
This question stumped Li Laosan, who didn't know how to answer her.
A few days ago, my eldest brother sent someone to bring us 100 taels of silver. Now the family has enough money to pay for Su's medical treatment, but his parents are unwilling to give it out no matter what.
"Your uncle has just become an official. He will have money in the future. Your mother's illness will definitely be treated. Don't worry." Li Laosan had to say vaguely.
He came to Su's bedside and asked her softly how she felt and if she was feeling better.
After a while, Su slowly opened her eyes. She knew that Li Laosan was worried about her, but in order to smoothly divide the family business, she had to keep it a secret from him.
"Hehe, I'm fine. I'm just worried about the two children. In case I die, you must take good care of the children. They have followed me since they were young and have suffered a lot. I feel sorry for them." Su said weakly.
"Don't say that. You will be fine. How about I go to Xiaoxiao to borrow some money, and then we will pay her back when we have money in the future." Li Laosan really couldn't think of where to borrow the money. Li Xiaoxiao opened a shop in the county town, so he should have some money.
"No, this small shop has only been open for a few days, she definitely doesn't have any money. If you ask her to lend it to you, it will make things difficult for her. Besides, who can lend out so much money easily?" Su said softly. Her goal was to divide the family. Only if she asked Old Lady Li for money and pushed her into a corner, would Old Lady Li talk about dividing the family herself. These were all taught to her by Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao is really smart, she can think of everything. No wonder her second sister-in-law and her family can live a good life now. When they separate in the future, she will find something to do. She believes that life will get better.
Li Laosan thought about it and it made sense. It was more than one hundred taels of silver, but Su's illness could not be delayed. Being a tall and strong man, he turned his face away and forced back the tears in his eyes.
It was still Jiang who cooked at noon. The dishes and pots from the morning were not washed. Looking at the work in the kitchen, Jiang became angry. Why did she have to do all the cooking alone for the whole family? She glared at the third room and started to work reluctantly.
Su couldn't get out of bed, so Li Laosan brought her food to her room and also took Daya and Erya's food back with him.
The only people left on the positive side were Jiang and her two children, Old Man Li and Old Lady Li.
As soon as Li Laosan entered the house, he heard the quarreling and scolding of Old Lady Li coming from the main room.
"Old Fourth, is this food that you cooked suitable for human consumption? I'll give it to you, and I'll let you eat it all."
"Mom, I have to cook and fry the dishes by myself, I can't handle it at all." Jiang tried her best to defend herself.
"You lazy and gluttonous woman, why do you still want me to cook for you?" Old Mrs. Li came up and started scolding. Because of Su's matter, she has been in a bad mood for the past two days and she is not happy with everything.
"No, mother, I just burned it accidentally. I will be more careful next time." Jiang was angry but dared not say anything. She knew Mrs. Li's temper very well and had to bear it.
Seeing Jiang shrinking back and not daring to talk back, Old Lady Li calmed down, snorted coldly, and sat down to eat.
While they were eating, there was a sudden, forceful and rapid knock on the door, and Mrs. Li stood up from her seat.
He walked to the main door, put his hands on his hips, and shouted loudly outside the door: "Knock, knock, knock, so anxious, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
The knocking on the door became even more urgent, as if it was going to knock a hole in it.
Old Lady Li realized that howling was useless, so she turned around and shouted to the third room, "Old Third, go see who the rotten-hearted person is outside the door."
Just after feeding Su, he heard his mother calling him. Li Laosan put down his bowl and chopsticks and went out to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, a man squeezed in, followed by a fat woman. The woman had a face full of flesh and it was obvious that she was not someone who was easy to get along with.
Li Laosan looked at the man and the woman and felt they looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he realized that they were his brother-in-law Su Dali and his wife Zhao Xiaomei, whom he had not seen for more than ten years.
But what were they doing here? He had been married to Su for so many years and they had never been here before.
"Third brother, where is my sister?" Su Dali had an unfriendly look on his face and asked where Su was.
"Brother, why are you here? Su is lying in the room." Li Laosan asked in confusion.
"I heard that my sister is sick, but your family refuses to treat her. I want to ask you if this is true?" Zhao Xiaomei asked, looking around at the Li family. It was her first time to visit her brother-in-law's house. He seemed to be doing well, so she should be able to get some money. She nodded with satisfaction.
"No, it's just that my family can't come up with that much money right now." Li Laosan denied it directly.
"Humph, I know that my sister does the most work in your house, and now she is sick because of you guys' abuse. Can you just say that you don't have enough money and that's it?"
Su Dali snorted coldly and was about to walk upstairs. He had never been to the Li family and didn't know which room Su was in.
Su in the room heard the voices and knew that her eldest brother and sister-in-law had come. She wanted to get up and go see, but Daya and Erya held her down on the bed and wouldn't let her get down.
"Our family just doesn't have the money to pay for her medical treatment. What can you do?" Old Mrs. Li listened carefully and found out that it was Su's family members who came to visit.
Su Dali looked at the old woman in front of him, and based on her age he guessed that she was Li Laosan's mother.
"You must be my sister's mother-in-law, right? My sister has worked hard in your family, but now she is sick and you refuse to treat her. You should at least give me an explanation, right?"
"What do you want to say?" At this time, Old Man Li and Mrs. Jiang came out from the upper room with their hands behind their backs.
"Give us thirty taels of silver and we will leave immediately. It's up to you whether to see a doctor in the future or not." Su Dali thought for a while and told Zhao Xiaomei the silver and money he and Zhao Xiaomei had agreed on on the road.
After these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned. They originally thought that he came to stand up for the Su family, but they didn't expect that he came to ask for money.
"Bah, I think you are crazy about money, get the third brother out here." Old Mrs. Li suddenly became angry.
"If you dare to touch me, I will go to the county government to sue you." Zhao Xiaomei was no pushover either. She put her hands on her hips, full of momentum.
The noise attracted the nearby neighbors. The Li family was really busy these past two days. Yesterday it was the old doctor who treated Su at their home, and today it was Su's brother and sister-in-law who came again.
Those who came to watch the fun didn't mind the big deal and ran around to tell others, and soon the entrance of Li's house was surrounded by people.
"Go ahead and sue. My eldest brother is the county magistrate. When you get to the county government office, I'll give each of you fifty lashes of the board." When mentioning the county government office, Jiang raised his head proudly.
"Stop scaring people here. Do you think we don't know that the county magistrate of Jiunu County is named Zhang, not Li?" Su Dali was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.
"My son is the magistrate of Chengyang County, and my family is an official family. People like you who extort money should be thrown into jail."
Old Mrs. Li was like a victorious rooster, with a proud look on her face. She walked a few steps to Zhao Xiaomei, suddenly stretched out a hand, and slapped her hard in the face.
