Since Li Hongjian agreed readily, Li Pingwang was waiting for his good news.

As soon as his father left, the second son Li Hongjian did not tell his biological mother Chen Xiaoying, thinking that as a son, he should not ask his mother for everything and it was time for him to be independent.

I immediately took some time off and went to the food factory to find Li Honggang.

"Second brother, why are you here? Do you have something to talk to me about?" It was dinner time, and Li Hongjian came at this time on purpose.

Li Honggang was wearing the food factory worker's uniform and holding a rice bowl in his hand, looking very professional.

Li Hongjian looked at this and felt very happy.

Back then, when we were in the village, if a family’s son worked as a worker in the city, it would be a proud thing for the whole family.

If he didn't feel that working in a factory was not free and that there were too many people to supervise him, he would have wanted to work here.

"Yes, there is something. How are you working here? Is anyone bullying you?" Li Hongjian asked habitually.

The fourth child, Li Honggang, had a weak constitution since childhood. He was not seriously ill, but he could not do heavy work and was also thin. His older brothers took good care of him, fearing that he would be bullied.

"It's okay. The leaders know that my mother introduced me here, so they will take good care of me. It's nothing to worry about." Li Honggang said with a smile, looking in good spirits.

That’s no problem, Li Hongjian felt that he didn’t have to worry about it.

Finding a place to sit next to a wall, he told them that their father Li Pingwang wanted a house.

Li Honggang calculated his own money and said, "Then we can only pay the down payment. We are all paid a fixed salary. We only have that much money a month. How can we come up with tens of thousands of dollars?"

He worked in the sawmill for so many years, and half of the money he earned was borrowed by his elder sister, who has not paid it back to date.

Half of it was taken away by his wife to her mother-in-law's house, and it has not been returned to date. It was like he had worked for seven or eight years in vain. It was not until the past three or four years that his mother Chen Xiaoying called him back and he made some money, but it was not enough to buy a house.

"Did our mom also say to buy it for us?"

He asked.

Li Hongjian said: "My parents are divorced, my mother doesn't care about him."

Li Honggang thought about it and decided that she would definitely not care. His mother was divorced, so she wouldn't care. But they were still their father's sons, so she couldn't just ignore him.

"What did the eldest brother say?" Li Hong just knew that the eldest brother had a bad temper and liked to be the boss. He would get angry if his brothers didn't listen to him. Buying a house was a big deal, so they definitely had to listen to the opinion of the eldest brother.

"Since you are close, I will ask you first. If you are willing, I will call the third brother and then talk to our eldest brother." said the second brother Li Hongjian.

He meant well, thinking that his father had worked hard all his life, and his sons all had houses in the city, his biological mother also had one, and his father wanted one too. Since he could afford it, he would buy it for him.

I’m so old now, I don’t know how many days I can enjoy a peaceful life.

Li Honggang thought for a moment and said, "If you all say you want to buy it, then I'll buy it too."

He listened to them.

Li Hongjian assumed that he agreed and called Li Hongqiang.

Li Hongqiang answered the phone and felt embarrassed.

Ever since his second elder brother and younger brother left the sawmill, he has been working on his own and couldn't do much work in the sawmill. If he hadn't worked here for more than ten years, the boss wouldn't have wanted him.

"Brother, I also want to buy a house for our father, but I don't have the money." He felt very embarrassed: "You also know that it is difficult to earn a salary here. After eating and drinking, there is not much left. Xueyan asks me for living expenses every day, but I have never given her any."

The second brother, Li Hongjian, had an idea in his mind: "Are you still giving money to the eldest sister?"

Li Hongqiang felt that there was nothing he couldn't say: "Of course, you guys don't care, how can I not care? Pengbo and Pengle are both studying in the provincial capital, so they don't need monthly living expenses. Our eldest sister is a farmer, how can she have the money to give them living expenses every month?"

Li Hongjian felt complicated, as if it was not right for him not to take care of his two nephews. However, let him take care of them, he remembered what their mother Chen Xiaoying had said.

"Your eldest sister is a bottomless pit. The little money you earn is not enough for her. After you give her all the money, have you ever thought about how to support your wife and children?"

Li Hongjian had just sent his son Li Chaochao to the county town to go to school. His wife Wang Xiaoqin was taking care of him at home, and his mother-in-law was helping to grow vegetables in the village. They only went back home for two days a week. They were also close to the county town, and it only took more than half an hour to go back.

"Tell me, I don't know what you are thinking. You are so cruel. The children have been admitted to university and they just need this final push. Can you just watch them drop out of school? Wouldn't all the efforts be wasted?" said Li Hongqiang.

Li Hongjian thought for a long time before asking, "If you give all your money to Pengbo and Pengle, what will happen to your daughter's schooling? Don't you also have a mortgage?"

He heard from his sister-in-law Zhao Xueyan that Li Hongqiang didn't want her money, so he took this opportunity to ask.

Unexpectedly, Li Hongqiang really said: "It's okay, she works for our mother, she gets paid every month, she has enough money to spend."

The wife has enough money to spend, so the man doesn’t have to spend a penny?

Li Hongjian felt that this was not the case, but he was not good at speaking and could not convince the third brother.

"Pengbo and Pengle should have living expenses. During the summer vacation, they worked in a hot pot restaurant, and our mother calculated their wages." He couldn't help but say.

But Li Hongqiang still said: "You don't know, the cost of living in the provincial capital is higher, the living expenses are higher, and it is more convenient to buy anything, and it won't be looked down upon by others."

At the end of the conversation, Li Hongqiang didn't want to feel like he didn't fit in.

"If you really want to buy a house for our dad, that's fine. I'll pay as much as you pay. If it's not enough, second brother, you can lend me some first. After Pengbo graduates from university, I will support Pengle alone, which will make it much easier. Then I will have money to pay you back."

Li Hongjian didn't know how he felt.

In the past, I was also one of the people who supported my nephew's schooling.

Li Hongjian hung up the phone and went to see his elder brother Li Hongwei the next day. He took buying a house for his father very seriously.

Li Hongwei thought he had heard it wrong.

Liu Lanxiang was so angry that she couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Do you know why our father wants this house?"

Li Hongjian blinked his eyes and said, "He said he felt bored living in the village and wanted to live in the city. I thought, we can afford it."

"I think you are just too rich to handle." Li Hongwei was hot-tempered. "He spends all day in the village, except taking care of his cows. He tells people in the village how good Zhaojia Village is and how comfortable life is. If he lives in the county town, who will he show off to?"

Li Hongjian was confused: "Brother, why are you talking about this? If he wants to show off, let him show off."

Li Hongjian is a rather slow and honest person. Even their father Li Pingwang says he is a fool.

Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang were both poor at speaking and could not show off their skills like Li Hongyan. They were very angry but could not come up with any reason to convince Li Hongjian.

Li Hongwei simply said with a sullen face: "No, if you want to buy it, just buy it yourself."

"Brother, why are you like this? Our father has worked hard all his life..." Li Hongjian felt that he had earned money and was willing to give part of it to support his father. Why was his brother, who earned more than him, so selfish?
