Chapter 179: Returning the Advice They Once Received

Su Jianjun eagerly placed the items he brought on the table, opening them for Su An and Su Ping to see.

"Ping Ping, An An, it was all Dad's fault in the past. I was too focused on work and neglected you siblings. Don't worry, Dad will certainly change from now on, make amends, and won't let you suffer anymore!"

Su An extended her hand and handed a fried pastry to Su Jianjun, "Here, have one."

Su Jianjun's face was filled with relief. Sure enough, as soon as he softened his attitude, these two children would relent.

He took the fried pastry, "Ah, An An still cares for Dad. I remember back in the year '93..."

Su An patiently listened to Su Jianjun's nostalgic stories and handed him a pickled plum.

Seeing Su Jianjun chew and swallow it without suspicion, Su An then signaled to Wang Xiaocui.

Bring it inside, it's not poisoned!

Wang Xiaocui didn't understand, but Ren San, standing nearby, understood. He quickly stepped forward to pick up a few bags, "I'll take these in and prepare some tea."

Ji Qingqing hurriedly said, "Ah, no need, no need, just leave them here."

Ren San pretended not to hear, took the bags, and soon came out with a tea tray, on which were seven or eight shriveled leftover peanuts.

He placed the tea tray on the table and grabbed a bowl to pour tap water for both of them.

After all, they had received so many good things; they had to act like proper hosts.

Su Jianjun's face stiffened slightly at the sight of the tea bowls and tray on the table but quickly composed himself.

"An An, Dad really regrets it and wants to make amends. Before, when I sent Su Ping to work, I had no choice. Our family is so big, with five or six people to support, and I'm the only one working. You don't know the pressure I'm under!"

"If it weren't for the dire situation, which father would ruin his child's future?"

"Let's be a family again, alright? You didn't want to marry Zhao Daxing initially, right? Let's divorce him. He's much older than you and has three children. With the country's family planning policy, you're still so young. I can't watch you ruin your life like this!"

Su An's eyes flickered, here it comes.

"Dad, but Daxing is the director of a big factory. Look at me, I didn't get much education, my personality isn't likable, I'm timid, and I can't assert myself. Without Daxing, I'm afraid I'll never find someone as good as him!"

Su Jianjun's face turned red; these were words he had said before.

"How could that be? You just turned eighteen, how could you not find someone better? You're so attractive and competent. If you and Daxing were compatible, I wouldn't say anything, but you two fight every other day, you're not compatible!"

Ji Qingqing, with a look of deep concern, whispered, "An An, your dad is doing this for your benefit. Look, he's older, divorced, and has three kids. His mother isn't easy to get along with either. You're still a child yourself, and now you have to act as a mother to his three kids. How much older are you than Zhao Long? You two are always fighting, how can that work?"

Su An's eyes flashed with mockery, "You don't understand. Fighting is affection, arguing is love. Why don't we fight with others? Because we love each other. Don't try to persuade us, we're truly in love and will never separate!"

Su An turned her head, looking at Zhao Daxing, who was standing in the corner with his hands in his pockets, listening intently, "Daxing and I aren't fighting, we're working through our differences. Isn't that what all couples do? Which couple on earth doesn't fight? Why does it have to lead to divorce? As long as Daxing takes good care of my mom, the kids, and my brother, does the housework, and gives me his salary, what reason would I have to fight with him?"

Hearing Su An's words, Ji Qingqing and Su Jianjun simultaneously opened their mouths, completely stunned.

No wonder Zhao Daxing was willing to pay such a high price to get a divorce. With Su An like this, would he even have a way out?

Zhao Daxing and Xiao Jiliang, hearing this, turned pale with fear.

Devil, devil!

Su An smiled, staring at Zhao Daxing, "Men shouldn't be too stubborn, they should be flexible, learn to be tolerant, and understanding. Which couple doesn't fight?"

"Daxing, you’re not thinking of getting a divorce too, are you? Look at the mess you’re in—older and remarried, with three kids in tow, and your mother is notoriously shrewish. I’m the only one who puts up with you. If I leave, who else would take you?"

Zhao Daxing turned red with anger but had to hold it in, kept shooting Su Jianjun meaningful looks.

As if to say, can you handle this or what? Do you still want your job?

Seeing that his groveling wasn’t working, Su Jianjun could no longer suppress his temper.

"Su An, is it pointless for me, your dad, to even talk to you now? I’m your biological father, how could I harm you? Hurry up and pack your things to come back with me. What kind of impression does it give for the whole family to be mooching off someone else’s place like this?"

"It hasn’t been long, and you’ve already been led astray by your mother, treating some stray like your own brother. Su Lei is your real brother!" Su Jianjun still resented the bite from Ren San, glaring fiercely at him.

"Wang Xiaocui, the kid’s doing fine in the city, don’t hold the kid back. What can you do for the kid besides making people laugh at having a hick for a mom? Hurry up and take your stray back to the sticks. Su Ping, pack your things and come back with Su An and me!"

"This is completely out of control!" Su Jianjun declared loudly, asserting his former authority as the head of the household.

Su An suddenly stood up, making Ji Qingqing and Su Jianjun lean back, on guard.

Hearing Su Jianjun’s forceful tone, Zhao Daxing gave him an encouraging look.

Well done, be firm, just like that, quickly take them all away, and the job is yours!

However, the next second, Su An turned around, snatched the bowl of tap water off the table, and abruptly poured it over Zhao Daxing’s head.

"Bang~" was the sound of the coarse porcelain bowl hitting Zhao Daxing’s forehead.

Zhao Daxing felt a sharp pain in his forehead and immediately cried out in pain.

"Ah!!"

The bowl of tap water flowed down from Zhao Daxing’s collar, the icy cold making him jump.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah~"

Xiao Jiliang’s eyes nearly popped out, "Su An, are you crazy? What has Daxing done to you?"

"Oh my, Daxing, my Daxing, how are you?"

Su An stood with her hands on her hips like a teapot, pointing at Zhao Daxing and scolding him loudly.

"Zhao Daxing, do you get that a happy family means everything else falls into place? Arguing between couples and then divorcing, you not only ruin your own life but also cause chaos for my dad and my wicked stepmother!"
