Chapter 46 - This cruel and unscrupulous lot, none of them reliable! (3)
Su Yu made a show of struggling to get up from the bed. "I'll leave the hospital today. Dazhi and Xiaozhi will come soon to carry me home. If I stay here one less day, you guys will have one less day to pay for. As for the other costs, don't worry. I'll definitely do my best to get better and eat less nutritious food. I don't want to drag others down."
The public security officer looked at the Liu family and asked, "Do you guys accept this arrangement? If you don't, things will be handled according to the law."
Liu Mei's oldest sister-in-law saw the public security officer's attitude and knew that if they followed the law, the penalties would be harsher. Beating someone could be a big or small matter depending on how Su Yu and the public security officer wanted to settle it. After all, Old Lady Liu had attacked Su Yu in public.
"Okay, we accept all of her conditions. In-law, don't worry, we guarantee that you'll be able to recuperate well."
"Thank you, thank you everyone." Su Yu looked extremely moved.
This can be considered as settling the matter privately.

After Su Yu agreed, the public security officers went back and lectured Old Lady Liu before letting her go. They had been planning on keeping her there for a few days, but they decided to be more lenient on account of her older age. The Liu family's attitude of admitting they were wrong was pretty good too.
After leaving the public security station, Old Lady Liu still hadn't learned her lesson. "I didn't even touch her. How can she have fainted? No, this won't do. I'm going to find that damn girl."
"Mom, what are you going to do?" Liu Dayong yelled impatiently.
Liu Mei's oldest sister-in-law was also unhappy. "Mom, we've spent so much energy to settle this. Let's go back to eat before talking." They still had to settle the account. The compensation money that Su Yu wanted had to come from her parents-in-law and Liu Mei. She definitely wouldn't let it go.
Displeased, Liu Mei's second sister-in-law said, "Mom, I don't want to say this, but you have to stop messing around for little Mei's matter. We haven't eaten yet. Can you feel sorry for us?"
After being scolded by her son and daughter-in-laws and seeing their reproachful expressions, Old Lady Liu was dumbfounded. What? What had she done wrong?
She didn't do this just for her daughter. She did it for the face of the Liu family!

On the other side, the Su siblings came to visit Su Yu.
When Su Yu was hospitalized last time, they weren't bothered by her absence at home. But this time, when Su Yu stayed in the hospital, they were very uneasy. They felt that the backbone of the family was gone. Even Su Lin ran over here to visit Su Yu. She brought over pieces of bacon and cornmeal mush. That was all she could bring. There wasn't anything good to eat at home.
Su Yu was already full. Looking at the unappetizing cornmeal mush, she didn't want to wrong herself. "I'm not hungry. The public security officer has already taken care of me. You guys can share this food among yourselves."
"Sis, that won't do, you eat it!" Su Xiaozhi said.
Su Yu waved her hand. "Be good. My body can't take being upset anymore."
The three siblings felt very bad. Even now, Sis was reluctant to eat for their sake.
Su Dazhi asked with a guilty conscience, "What's wrong?"
"Same as before. My body is too weak from malnutrition. Fortunately, the public security officer is very fair. She had the Liu family pay for nutritional supplements. I'll be able to eat nutritional supplements and get better."
"Those people are too vicious. The old ones and the young ones, none of them are good!" Su Xiaozhi fiercely said.
Su Dazhi felt even more guilty. "Sis, I don't want to continue living with Liu Mei. I'll listen to you about everything. I'll be with whoever you choose."
Gratified, Su Yu patted his hand. "Dazhi, it would have been so great if you could have been sensible earlier."
However, don't think about marrying another wife. Marrying another wife would cost money, so not worth it.
In order to not affect her work tomorrow, Su Yu asked Su Dazhi and Su Xiaozhi to take her home. Knowing that sister's body was too weak, Su Dazhi carried her out on his back without saying a word.
Su Xiaozhi didn't fall behind. He shouted, "Let's take turns carrying Sis. I'm stronger than you."
The doctors and nurses looked at this family and were touched. What a harmonious family.
