Li Hongyan originally thought that she was the only smart person in her natal family. Even though she had been married for decades, she was still the eldest sister who was in charge of her natal family.

She was 20 years older than her second sister, Li Hongli. She had watched Li Hongli grow up. She stepped forward and pinched her arm, and continued to scold her in a frustrated tone, "You stupid girl, you are still being stubborn. The second and third elder brothers paid for your schooling, so that you could learn something. What did you learn? You just want to find a partner?"

"You grew up eating shit, how can you be so stupid?"

Li Hongli pushed Li Hongyan's hand away in pain: "Stop hitting me."

Li Hongyan was so angry that if her second sister Li Hongli was not pregnant and in danger, she would have wanted to hit her twice.

"My parents might as well beat you to death." She cursed, stamping her feet angrily.

But, of course, beating Li Hongli to death is impossible.

Li Pingwang wiped his tears, his face full of wrinkles and tanned. The old men in the village were all people who worked hard all their lives. He couldn't accept what happened to his daughter.

His two twin daughters who are attending college are his pride.

Think about my mother-in-law, Old Lady Liu, who raised three promising daughters. Now she has a bright big bungalow with smooth tiled floors in the yard and a bright red iron gate, all of which were funded by her daughters.

Who doesn’t envy Lijia Village?

So when he let his two daughters go to college, he was not very opposed.

As a result, how could my daughter be so shameless?

Other people's daughters found their partners after they started working, and their partners' conditions were all very good.

When she was in school, she didn't study hard and started dating? She didn't date her equally educated classmates, but a guy who worked on a construction site outside the school.

"Ouch, ouch." Li Pingwang felt a sharp pain in his heart. He held his chest and straightened his body, then started to cry out in pain.

"Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you?"

The eldest daughter Li Hongyan hurriedly supported him.

The eldest son, Li Hongwei, was also very scared: "What's going on? Let's rush to the hospital."

Chen Xiaoying couldn't help but get angry when she saw the old man like this: "He is more likely to cause trouble than to help you!"

Call him over, but he's in this state. If you don't call him over, if something happens to Li Hongli, he, as a father, will make a fuss again.

She borrowed a small tricycle from a neighbor who ran a grocery store and asked Li Hongyan and Li Hongwei, a brother and sister, to help Li Pingwang into the bed of the tricycle. One of the brother and sister rode the tricycle in front while the other protected him on the side until they finally took Li Pingwang to the health center.

The emergency doctor asked him, "Old man, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Li Pingwang cried to the people with tears in his eyes: "My family is so unfortunate. My heart aches so much."

He held his chest, and the doctor said, "Old man, the heart is not here."

“Oh.” Li Pingwang looked down and still covered his hands: “I feel uncomfortable here, wuwuwu.”

He couldn't stop crying.

Li Hongwei finally understood that he was just angry.

The doctor understood what he saw, but was afraid there might be something wrong: "Then let's do a checkup and stay in the hospital for two more days for observation. After all, he is so old."

Don't worry about it now. If something happens when you take him back, you can blackmail him later.

"Dad, he needs to be hospitalized. What do you think?" The eldest son Li Hongwei frowned.

Li Hongyan rolled her eyes and said, "Since Dad is not feeling well and the doctor wants him to be hospitalized for a checkup, then let's go to the hospital."

Anyway, he has money. His dad is not feeling well. Instead of using the money to pay for his dad's medical treatment, would he hide in a rat hole and give birth to a son?

Li Hongwei felt that he was getting angry. "I'm fine, I'm not sick, why should I be hospitalized? It's just a waste of money."

When Li Pingwang heard that his eldest son didn't pay for his hospitalization, he yelled angrily: "Hongwei, Hongwei, I knew you were not a good person. I, your own father, felt very uncomfortable and had to be hospitalized, but you didn't even pay for my hospitalization. Are you a human being? You are a beast."

He cursed in front of so many people coming and going in the hospital, as if his eldest son Li Hongwei was a beast.

Li Hongwei had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, if you want to stay, then go ahead."

He had no choice but to go back to the breakfast shop to get the money.

After telling him about his father's condition, Chen Xiaoying said, "With a father like him, there's nothing you can do. Just stay here. Luckily you have some money now."

Li Hongwei thought to himself, yes, he did have the money, but it was hard-earned, he couldn’t just throw it away in the hospital for nothing.

With this in mind, he couldn't really ignore his father, so he had to go to the hospital and pay the deposit for hospitalization.

His eldest sister Li Hongxia was still worried about the second sister Li Hongli: "Didn't mom say that she would tell Xu Xiaodong's family about Hongli and Xu Xiaodong's marriage? I'm the eldest sister, I have to help mom with some of the burden. Why didn't you call Xueyan to come and serve?"

Li Hongwei was impatient: "You didn't say that just now."

Seeing that her eldest brother was unhappy, Li Hongyan simply said, "Then I'll go and talk to him."

Li Hongyan had nothing to be embarrassed about and said it immediately.

Zhao Xueyan, the third brother's sister-in-law, was a little embarrassed. She was a daughter-in-law, so how could she serve her father-in-law?

Mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying spoke up: "You are the one your father loves the most. He is in the hospital, and you didn't pay the hospital bills. You are not even willing to help?"

The eldest daughter, Li Hongyan, couldn't stand her mother talking like that, as if she was an ungrateful person: "Okay, okay, I'll serve you then."

Then he couldn't help but say to Li Hongli, "If a fight breaks out later, remember to protect our mom, or she will get hurt too. Then both of them will be in the hospital, and we as children will be panicking."

Li Hongli began to feel scared: "Will they fight again?"

Her eldest sister, Li Hongyan, is 43 years old and is a shrew herself. She has seen many examples of fights between relatives because of the failure of such in-laws.

"Who knows? It's probably true," she said.

From what she described, I knew Xu Xiaodong was not a good person. Xu Xiaodong's family knew that he was dating Li Hongli, and they only said that they agreed to their marriage, but they never came to Lijia Village to discuss this matter with her family. It was obvious that they were pretending to be ignorant and playing tricks.

"You have to ask for the bride price, you can't give up on it," she added.

"As for the bride price, his family is in a difficult situation."

Li Hongli said hesitantly that she was reluctant at first.

"Silly girl, the bride price represents the man's attitude. If you marry him, it will be a double happiness. You should ask for a higher bride price. But your current situation is dangerous. It's okay to have something that's good enough. But you can't refuse it, otherwise people will look down on you, including your future mother-in-law." Li Hongyan was getting anxious because she saw that even after teaching her second sister to this point, she was still confused.

When her own son Zhao Pengfei got married, she never thought of not giving a dowry. She just planned to bring her back to their small family so that the young couple could at least live a more comfortable life.

Chen Xiaoying watched from the side without saying anything. She no longer recognized her eldest daughter, but she did not stop her other children from not recognizing Li Hongyan as their eldest sister.

When her own interests were not involved, Li Hongyan really did everything like a decent human being, and she sincerely hoped that her second sister Li Hongli would have a good outcome.

Li Hongyan had no choice but to go to the hospital to take care of her father Li Pingwang.

The remaining group of people, Chen Xiaoying, with her eldest son Li Hongwei and Li Hongli, went to the Xu family.

At the Xu family's end, just as they were muttering to themselves, there was a knock on the gate.
