Li Hongyan is, after all, an ordinary citizen from the lower class. When she quarrels with villagers, she is full of energy. But when she meets a brainless, impulsive second-rate person like Xu Dadong, she is afraid.
What if Xu Dadong really takes revenge on their family, or takes revenge on her son Pengfei?
"Hongyan, we are all family, things are similar... let's just forget it." Ma Xiufen said.
Li Hongyan hesitated.
Ma Xiufen went on to say, "I haven't been idle these past few months. I've asked around. Dadong's uncle knows someone in the provincial capital who has a say in the water conservancy bureau where the car was stolen. He renovated the man's house before. If they don't pursue the matter, this matter can be forgotten. It's just a small matter. There's no need to cause trouble for the government."
Li Hongyan looked at her, then turned her gaze away and thought for a moment: "Well, let me ask first."
She turned and left, but what she was thinking in her heart was that her mother had already lost 3,000 yuan, and now she wanted her to take out another 2,000 yuan to help get Xu Dadong out. How could her second sister's mother-in-law Ma Xiufen dare to think so.
Li Hongyan was thinking as she walked down the stairs when she arrived at the door of the fourth patient's ward. She took a look inside.
Just then her mother Chen Xiaoying came to deliver food. The second son Li Hongjian helped watch the baby all night and was about to go back to work.
"Sister, why are you here? Why are you standing at the door instead of going in?"
When Li Hongjian walked to the door, he saw his elder sister Li Hongyan.
Chen Xiaoying looked up and ignored him.
Li Hongyan walked in by herself and called out, "Mom."
Her mother Chen Xiaoying still ignored her, so she had to look at the fourth child, Li Honggang: "I heard from Hongli that your mother-in-law came here yesterday to make a scene. Are you okay? Did she hit you?"
Li Honggang said: "No, my mother came at that time and slapped her twice."
As he said this, he felt relaxed all over.
Because ever since he married Yang Xiaohui, he found that he had become a second-class citizen in the Yang family. He was scolded by his brother-in-law at will, and sometimes even beaten. He was looked down upon by his mother-in-law. No matter how much he took, she would pick and choose and despise him, looking down on him for not having the strength to work and for not making any money.
The two people were like his psychological shadows, but when his mother Chen Xiaoying came yesterday, she slapped his troublemaking mother-in-law twice, and he suddenly felt that his mother-in-law and brother-in-law were not so scary after all.
If they break the law, the country will punish them. As for the usual provocations, they are considered weak. If he can't beat them in person, he can also put a sack on their backs.
He had no need to be afraid of them.
Seeing that the fourth child, Li Honggang, was in good spirits and became bolder, Li Hongyan looked at her mother Chen Xiaoying in confusion and said, "Mom, I have something to tell you. Come with me for a while."
Chen Xiaoying ignored him.
The fourth child, Li Hong, just found out about the conflict between his mother and his eldest sister. After all, things like borrowing high-interest loans and making his parents divorce, even if it is mentioned now, he still feels that his eldest sister is really not a human being. How can a daughter lie to her parents like this and instigate them to divorce?
"Mom?" He felt that the mother and daughter had no overnight hatred, but he was afraid. What if the elder sister did not change her nature and had some bad ideas again?
Chen Xiaoying glanced at her eldest daughter Li Hongyan, who looked so guilty that she turned away, and then she stood up.
When they reached the end of the corridor and saw no one around, Chen Xiaoying asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Her eldest daughter, Li Hongyan, then carefully relayed what Ma Xiufen said to her mother. She was a little scared: "Mom, that Xu Dadong is a brainless second-rate guy. He just stole a car and didn't hurt anyone. Even if he is really put in prison, it is estimated that he will be released in a few years. If he really comes to retaliate against us and Pengfei, what should we do?"
When she thought about Pengfei being beaten by Xu Dadong, would he be beaten like the fourth brother Li Honggang? She was scared.
I couldn't help crying: "...I can bear a beating, but I'm afraid of that kind of person. He doesn't know his place. What if he uses a knife?"
This is what she is afraid of.
If her son got hurt with one knife, it would be useless even if Xu Dadong was cut into pieces, because her son would not survive.
Chen Xiaoying frowned. She didn’t think so much at the time.
She couldn't help but sigh: "So what do you say, what should we do?"
Li Hongyan repeated what Xu Dadong's mother, Ma Xiufen, her second sister's mother-in-law, had said.
Chen Xiaoying thought about it and felt that what Ma Xiufen said might be true. In her previous life, her elder brother dared to do renovation and had been doing it for his entire life. He worked in the provincial capital all year round, so it was possible that he knew one or two people.
Thinking back to the days when Li Hongli was at her husband's family, people generally try to avoid making enemies if possible.
Just think about it, you are living a normal life, and suddenly someone jumps out from the darkness, stabs you, and takes your life. How terrible it is.
Xu Dadong is really capable of doing such a thing.
Moreover, granddaughter Li Yutong said that Xu Dadong had three high problems: high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids. She also heard from others that Xu Dadong never restrained himself. Even without taking medicine, he still drank alcohol, ate meat, stayed up late, played cards, etc.
Maybe he won't be in prison for long before he is released to receive treatment.
This kind of person, especially those with twisted minds, can't stand seeing others live a good life when they themselves are not living a good life. Xu Dadong is a person who really dares to take action. This kind of person has no brains and never thinks about the consequences of his actions.
"Mom, what should I do?" Li Hongyan wiped her tears.
Chen Xiaoying thought for a moment and said, "I can let it go, but it's impossible for you to get money from me. Why should I raise money for Xu Dadong? I'm not his mother."
That makes sense.
"Then, what should we do?" Li Hongyan felt that even she, who had always been smart, had no idea what to do.
Chen Xiaoying looked at her eldest daughter, Li Hongyan, and said, "You are very capable and thoughtful. What can you do?"
Li Hongyan's eyes turned red: "Mom."
"Don't call me, figure it out yourself. Pengfei took three thousand yuan from me. When you sell the corn, you must return it to me quickly. Even if it's only two hundred yuan, you have to pay it back. Remember that." Chen Xiaoying left without mercy.
She was really dreaming. She still wanted her to pay to save Xu Dadong? She was not crazy.
Li Hongyan was dumbfounded.
Ma Xiufen was a smart person. As soon as Li Hongyan left, she chased after her. Now she was lying on the wall and heard some noise.
Seeing Chen Xiaoying coming, she quickly hid.
After Chen Xiaoying left, she anxiously went to find Li Hongyan: "What's going on? What did your mother say?"
Li Hongyan felt a headache and said unhappily, "Let's talk about this aside."
The two of them went back and discussed for a while in secret. Ma Xiufen felt a little annoyed: "But I don't have any money."
She just had no money, so she thought of asking Chen Xiaoying, the only rich person around her and whom she knew, for some money.
"If I had money, I would have found a way to get Dadong out a long time ago."
