Chapter 92: One for one, one for one
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, this matter has been clarified in front of everyone today."
“I sympathize with Su Zhen’s injury, but I can’t take responsibility for it. If you still want to send her to the clinic, you’ll have to figure it out yourselves.”
After saying that, Su Li turned around and strode back into the house under everyone's gaze.
The Su family was left standing there anxiously, but they no longer had the confidence to throw a tantrum.
Seeing that his previous threats had no effect, Uncle Su's eyes darted around, and he immediately put on a pitiful look, slapped his thighs, and began to plead for sympathy at the top of his lungs.
"Everyone, please be the judge! Our Zhen'er has suffered such serious injuries! I am her biological father, and her mother is so heartbroken that she's almost cried her eyes out. Is it wrong for us to feel sorry for our daughter?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe away non-existent tears and continued wailing.
"Look at how badly our child is injured! She's only fifteen, the prime of her life. What if she gets crippled if this goes on? She won't be able to get married, and her life will be ruined!"
Upon hearing this, some soft-hearted villagers nearby began to whisper among themselves, their faces showing a hint of sympathy.
"Sigh, what Su Lao Er said makes sense. Su Zhen is indeed a pitiful child."
"Yes, it would be such a pity if they were left with a disability."
Just then, Su Qingfeng happened to return from work more than ten miles away.
When I saw so many people gathered at my doorstep and heard the noise coming from inside, I was completely stunned and stood there at a loss.
When Old Master Su saw Su Qingfeng return, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he had grasped at a lifeline.
"Qingfeng, you're finally back!"
He quickly stepped forward, pulled Su Qingfeng in front of him, and said earnestly:
“Look at the mess this has made. Li’er’s animal trap hurt Zhen’er so badly. We’re all family. How awful will this sound if word gets out? Actually, no one in the family blames her. You know how temperamental she is.”
"You're her father, so hurry up and persuade her to stop being so stubborn. Don't let outsiders laugh at our Su family."
Upon hearing the old man's words, Su Qingfeng frowned slightly, a troubled expression on his face. "Was this really made by our Li'er?"
The old man nodded. "Zhen'er was in so much pain she almost fainted. After all, she calls you Fourth Uncle..."
Su Qingfeng was always filial, and faced with his father's words, he softened for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.
As dusk settled, Su Qingfeng strode heavily into Su Li's house.
The dim light flickered in the breeze, reflecting the hesitation on his face.
Walking up to Su Li, he spoke softly, "Daughter, you see, your second uncle's family has had a tough time too. Zhen'er is injured, so let's help them out if we can. Just listen to your grandfather and stop making a fuss, okay?"
Su Qingfeng's voice was hoarse and helpless.
Su Li turned around and looked at her father's tired and conflicted face. Her eyes were slightly red, but her gaze was extremely firm.
“Father,” she called softly, “do you remember when you were injured? We knelt before Grandpa and Grandma, begging them for help, even if it was just to borrow a mule cart, but what did they do? They just watched you suffer terribly, and not a single one of them was willing to lend a hand.”
"Now that they're in trouble, they suddenly remember we're family?"
Su Qingfeng opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but his throat seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't say a word.
Because what my daughter said was the truth.
He lowered his head, his hands unconsciously clenching and unclenching.
“Li’er, although your second uncle’s family did something wrong, Zhen’er is still your cousin. She’s in a lot of pain right now, we can’t just ignore her…”
Su Li took a deep breath, looked firmly at Su Qingfeng, and said slowly:
“Dad, I also feel sorry for Su Zhen, but we can’t keep giving so much without any limits. I can pay for Su Zhen’s treatment, but I need my second uncle’s family to write an IOU.”
Upon hearing this, Su Qingfeng frowned and said urgently, "Li'er, we're all family. Writing an IOU makes us feel distant, and people will laugh at us if word gets out."
Su Li stood up, looked at her serious-looking father, and couldn't help but chuckle.
“Dad, are you being distant? When you were injured, I went door to door begging for help from my uncles. Did they ever think of us as family? Now that they're in trouble, they suddenly remember we're family. This IOU isn't meant to make things difficult for them, but to ensure our family has a future.”
As she spoke, Su Li pulled out a worn-out ledger from her bosom. It was filled with detailed records of all the money she had scraped together over the years to help her family, all of which had never been returned.
Just like today, my father was exhausted after a long day at work. He didn't even have time to drink some hot water when he got home, and my grandfather had already persuaded him to come and ask me for money.
Her father's ability to tolerate it was his choice, and even if Su Li didn't understand, she chose to respect it.
But if those people try to take money out of their own pockets, they are just daydreaming.
Su Li's money isn't so easy to take.
The village elders are all here today. If this IOU isn't repaid, see where the old man's face will be.
"Dad, look at this, this money is all our family's hard-earned money, and it's just gone like this. We can't continue to be so foolish."
Su Qingfeng stared at the ledger, remaining silent for a long time, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
At this moment, Su Li's older brother, Su Xiangyang, quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Su Li, speaking slowly and deliberately.
“Father, you have no idea how hard Li’er works at the dock. She’s busy from morning till night, her feet never touch the ground, and there are always people picking on her. Father, Li’er is only sixteen years old! Every penny she earns is hard-earned.”
If making money at the docks were so easy, why don't all the villagers go? She only went because we had no other choice. Have you forgotten how scared and helpless we were when you were injured? Can't you think more about us, about Li'er?"
As Su Xiangyang spoke, his eyes also reddened.
He was useless, only possessing physical strength, and was bullied at the dock. In the end, it was his sister who helped him resolve the matter.
Now that he's home, how can he just stand by and watch his sister be bullied by his family?
Su Xiangsheng rushed over and hugged Su Qingfeng's leg tightly, saying in a tearful voice:
"Father, think about my sister! Look at her hands, they're covered in calluses and wounds, and she's lost several pounds in the past few days. Father, you only see the money my sister earns, but don't you see how hard she works?"
Mrs. Hu sat to one side, tears streaming down her face.
She raised her hand and wiped away her tears with her worn-out sleeve, her voice trembling.
"Dad, I helped my daughter at the noodle shop at the dock, so I know all too well how tired she was. We could rest after we finished our work, but when my daughter got home, she still had to stay up all night doing accounts, taking inventory, planning purchases, and negotiating prices with suppliers. She had to be frugal with every penny."
When faced with a troublemaker, this young girl had no choice but to bite the bullet and confront him…
As she spoke, she looked at Su Li with heartache in her eyes, and cried even more bitterly.
As Su Qingfeng listened to his wife and children's words, he felt as if he had been struck hard by a hammer.
After a long while, Su Qingfeng slowly raised his head, his eyes already moist, his voice choked with sobs, "It was your father who was confused, it was your father who failed to take good care of you..."
“Li’er,” he said in a hoarse voice, “let’s do as you say.”
