What else can Li Hongwei say now? If he refuses to agree, it will confirm the "crime" spread by "outsiders" against him.

He said coldly: "I'll tell Mom later. If she doesn't want to, there's nothing I can do."

Li Pingwang got angry: "What do you mean you don't want to do it? If your mother doesn't want to do it, then it means you are not doing your best!"

"Hongwei, Hongwei, you have been selfish since you were young. Your sister is in such a difficult situation, but you brothers know to lend money to your elder sister so that she can use it in an emergency. The girls you gave birth to will get married in the future. Not only will you have no burden, but you can also earn a sum of money for the bride price when your daughters get married. But what about your elder sister? Her three sons will get married in the future. Tell me, which side is more important?"

"Why don't you help her? And the third child, he has been doing hard labor outside these years, working himself to death. Have you and your mother ever said a word to him?"

Li Pingwang has a lot of complaints about his eldest son Li Hongwei, so many that it is impossible to list them all.

Li Hongwei sat up suddenly and walked away without looking back.

He was really disappointed.

What does it mean that the daughter he gave birth to has no burden? The son eats the food, while the daughter eats the northwest wind without spending any money?

And he said he would earn a dowry in the future? He wouldn't have a wedding banquet or a dowry?

Li Pingwang is selfish and doesn't even realize it.

Li Hongwei was so angry that he ran away. His father Li Pingwang said to Li Hongyan angrily: "Look at him, look at him, he is so capable that even I, as his father, cannot say anything about him."

Li Hongyan said, "Dad, our eldest son is living a good life now. He not only rents more than 70 acres of land to grow peppers, but Xiaoyu has also opened several hot pot restaurants. All the money he earns is used to sweep the house. He has several houses in the city, but he is reluctant to give you one."

"Dad, you should be nicer to him in the future. Who knows, if he's in a good mood, he might be able to give you more pension money."

Li Pingwang was furious: "As a father, I still have to look at his face and try to please him? I, Li Pingwang, have lived for half of my life and I would never do such a cowardly thing."

The third child, Li Hongqiang, felt that he lived a good life. He did not rely on his own mother or on pleasing his eldest brother, Li Hongwei. He earned money with his own ability and lived a good life. So, he said, "Sister, why are you in such a hurry for me to reconcile with our mother? I am still waiting for our mother to say something nice to me."

Li Hongyan looked at his father Li Pingwang, and then at Li Hongqiang. They both had honest and simple faces. How come they were all so stupid?

"Our mother is no longer the same person she used to be. It's impossible to wait for her to reconcile with you."

Thinking back to that time, she saw with her own eyes how evil the third brother Li Hongqiang was.

They were always entangled with that ugly woman with permed hair, big red makeup, and as ugly as a wild chicken. They drank, played cards, and gambled. They couldn't be pulled away, which completely chilled their mothers' hearts.

His mother's reactions at that time were all good.

Just imagine if the same thing happened to her sons, she would pounce on them and beat them to death.

She simply didn't want a son like this who she couldn't rely on.

"Let's wait for news from the boss first." Li Hongyan said.

In fact, she had done some calculations in her mind, and what she said to the boss just now were actually what she really thought.

If the third child makes their mother dislike him, she will definitely not give him a larger share when the family property is divided in the future. Then if he gets less, won't the extra money be given to other people?

The second son, Li Hongjian, is now alienated from her. He was reluctant to lend her money several times and had to ask her to promise to pay it back in the future before he would lend her a little.

As for the fourth son, Li Honggang, he has his troublesome wife, Yang Xiaohui. The fourth son is also poor now, so he doesn't have much money to lend to her.

Only the third brother is on the same page with her, so she has to help him get more family property, right?

In Li Hongyan's eyes, when the family property is divided in the village, married women basically get nothing if their parents have several sons.

So she made the worst plan, that is, her mother Chen Xiaoying would still not buy a house for her in the future, and she would have no choice.

However, she can let the third brother Li Hongqiang fight for it.

The third child must be a boy, right? The third child is also my mother's son, right?

Only when the third brother had money did she have hope.

Li Hongwei was so angry that his face turned blue. He stood at the bottom of the stairs and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

The host happened to be going to the backyard to serve mutton soup. Seeing that he looked bad, he quickly asked, "Hongwei, what's wrong with you?"

Li Hongwei forced a smile: "Busy? Oh, I don't have anything."

Having said that, he left quickly.

At the market, Liu Lanxiang had been waiting impatiently beside the motorcycle. When her man finally came over, she saw that he had a very unhappy expression on his face.

She asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? What did your elder sister say to you, or what did your father say to you?"

"Don't ask, let's talk about it when we get home."

Li Hongwei said coldly.

Liu Lanxiang had no choice. The couple had no intention of buying New Year's goods. In fact, they had almost bought everything for the house.

When he got home, Li Hongwei told Li Hongyan what he had said at the mutton restaurant.

Liu Lan was so angry: "She's talking nonsense. When have you ever thought about this? It's obviously the third brother who is in a hopeless situation. You tried to get him to reconcile with our mom. Last year, you two brothers almost had a fight. She knew all about it. How could she still say such nonsense?"

After I finished scolding her, I remembered that Li Hongyan is just that kind of person.

She just pretends to be ignorant even though she knows the truth!

No matter what happened, she knew it clearly in her mind, but she just wanted to distort the facts and throw dirty water on others.

"What are you going to do?"

Li Hongwei said unhappily: "What can I do? I can only go and do it. I don't know what my mother thinks."

"I think that Mom has been cold to the third child over the past few years. She must have completely lost heart to him." Liu Lanxiang guessed.

Li Hongwei sighed. If the third son was his son, he would not want him anymore.

He doesn't know what's good for him. He and his mother were so good to him. He was working outside, and the village was dividing up residential land. He broke his head and bled to guard the one meter of land occupied by the neighbor. Now he actually turned around and accused him of making a fuss. It's just one meter, what's the big deal? He's not going back to live in the village!

What is he talking about? He is a rural person, a rural person who cannot afford to buy a house in the city. The homestead is the foundation of his descendants. He wants to give it up just by opening his mouth?

As for the division of private plots, he was the one who watched from the side, fearing that he would be given less land.

He is the one who runs around and worries about everything in the village, but he has no gratitude at all. He thinks that he is the boss and as the eldest brother, this is his job.

And their mother bought them a house, and he is very grateful. What about the third child?

What did he say?

He said, "Mom is afraid of being laughed at. You all have it, why don't I have it?"

Why don’t you have it?

As your mother, do I deserve to owe you something?

He doesn't cherish those who are good to him, and always asks for things from him without giving anything in return. However, he is very sincere to their eldest sister Li Hongyan, and almost always responds to Pengfei and the others' requests.

He is someone else's son. When he is old, it will be his own daughter Li Yujie who will take care of him, not Zhao Pengfei and the others.

He can’t even provide for his own grandparents and parents, how can they take care of him in his old age?

He is in the hospital, and his own daughter doesn't even take care of him. How can he count on his nephews?
