It was the first time that Li Hongyan showed him such a haggard and sad look, which made Li Hongwei, who always looked at her coldly, feel a little uncomfortable.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's wait until Dad wakes up."
He also thought that after his father woke up, he would go and find out the whereabouts of his biological elder sister.
I hope she can live...
Li Hongyan was dissatisfied with Li Hongwei's attitude. This boss had been at odds with her since childhood. Look, at this time, he seemed particularly ruthless and cold.
With a sad look in her eyes, she looked longingly at the fourth child, Li Honggang, who was sitting aside and remained silent from beginning to end: "Fourth child, what are you thinking? Don't you plan to recognize me as your elder sister?"
"Then do you still remember that during the social construction period, the whole village ate from the same pot. Every time, I would pull you along and run for our lives. When we got the food, I would give it to you first..."
"Also, when our mother gave birth to Hongli and Hongxia, I was the one who took care of her during the confinement period. But now, our mother has said that she doesn't want me anymore, so she doesn't want me anymore, wuwu..."
Looking back on the past, Li Hongyan felt that she had made great contributions to this family. Why should all her past efforts be denied just because she was not a biological child?
Li Honggang thought about it and looked at his pitiful elder sister Li Hongyan. Did their family really not recognize her? He looked at his elder brother Li Hongwei with an inquiring look.
Li Hongwei was soft-hearted at first, but when he heard her say that, his face suddenly turned ugly: "You were at home for the two days when our mother gave birth, you cleaned her and cooked for her for two days, and then you came to see her every three or four days, but you just sat there and didn't touch a single vegetable leaf. I went to work in the fields, and when I came back I had to cook for our parents? How can you have the nerve to say that you took care of our mother during her confinement period?"
Li Hongyan was speechless for a moment, because this was the fact.
The fourth child, Li Hong, only then remembered the character of her eldest sister. If she did only one point out of ten points of the work, she would brag to others that she did eight points, and would never mention the contributions of others.
It's really too selfish.
The fourth child, Li Honggang, also lowered his head and stopped talking.
Li Hongyan was extremely angry, but there was nothing she could do but sit there.
Just wait, when the third brother comes back, he will definitely stand up for her.
The second son, Li Hongjian, hurried to the store outside the clinic and called the third son, Li Hongqiang.
As soon as the call was connected, the second son, Li Hongjian, was worried that he had heard about their father's illness and was worried that something might happen on the way back, so he said, "It's nothing else, don't ask so many questions, just come back quickly."
The third brother, Li Hongqiang, didn't want to come back: "What's the matter? I've only been out for two days, and you want me to go back? If it's nothing important, you can just do it with the eldest brother. If there is something that requires money, I will pay as much as I should. I won't let you suffer any loss, okay?"
The second son, Li Hongjian, felt uncomfortable after hearing this: "It's not about the money, it's just that our dad is not feeling well, you should come back to see him too."
"It's no big deal. Aren't you already in the village? Besides, what's wrong with you? Three sons can't even take care of an old man. What are you doing for a living?" said the third son Li Hongqiang.
The second brother Li Hongjian was immediately furious, and he felt that the voice sounded familiar.
After thinking about it carefully, damn, wasn't it when he was working outside, every time he came back during the Chinese New Year, he would talk about his elder brother Li Hongwei behind his back in this tone?
He said that his eldest brother in the village was irresponsible and did not take good care of his parents.
There is so much work to do in the fields, but you don’t even know how to help out.
All he does is quarrel with his parents over trivial matters all day long, and he has no family affection at all.
Something happened seven or eight years ago. His father fell ill, and the third son talked to the eldest son on the phone, asking him what he did for a living!
"What do you do for a living? What do you do for a living? Tell me what do you do for a living. After all, we are still in the county town. We took care of Dad and sent him to the hospital. We paid the fees and took him to see a doctor. What did you do?"
"You just have a mouth. How dare you say what we do for a living?"
The second son, Li Hongjian, is usually very honest, but today he scolded the third son and asked him what he was doing, which irritated him.
In the past, he thought that what the third brother said was right. It was not easy for them to work outside and they were exhausted all day long. The eldest brother farmed in the village and his work was not hard or tiring. It was his duty to take care of his parents more.
Whenever his parents are sick, he is considered unfilial and does not take good care of them.
After he was scolded, he realized how difficult it was for those who stayed in their hometown to take care of their parents. They had to make a living and be filial to their parents.
People who work away from home have an easy life. If anything happens, they can just make a phone call.
If he can't make it back in time, then he can't make it back, and no one can say anything to him. There are trains and buses in between, and he can't grow wings and fly out, so it's understandable that he can't do anything.
Li Hongjian felt very frustrated.
The third brother, Li Hongqiang, was scolded by the second brother. He was speechless for a while and said, "Okay, I will take the night train back today and arrive tomorrow morning."
Only then did Li Hongjian hang up the phone angrily.
When Li Hongjian returned to the hospital, Li Hongwei said to him: "I will take care of him tonight. You all go back and I will replace you tomorrow."
At this time, the second daughter-in-law Wang Xiaoqin, the third daughter-in-law Zhao Xueyan, and the fourth daughter-in-law Yang Xiaohui all came.
After all, my father-in-law was rushed to the hospital due to an emergency, so they had to come.
After hearing what their eldest brother said, they subconsciously glanced at Li Hongyan.
In the past, no matter how big or small the matter was at home, as long as Li Hongyan was present, she would make the arrangements, she had the final say, and we had to listen to her.
But today, she wiped her tears and said, "Don't look at me, just listen to your eldest brother."
The way she said this sounded as if she allowed the eldest brother to be in charge and allowed these younger brothers and sisters to listen to Li Honggang.
Li Hongwei didn't think too much and didn't say anything.
Liu Lanxiang was in the village and hurried over after receiving a call from her daughter Li Yutong.
When she arrived, the other uncles and sisters-in-law had already left, and Li Hongwei was the only one in the ward.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Liu Lanxiang looked at Li Pingwang, who was unconscious and had a wrinkled face, in surprise.
Her heart skipped a beat. Her father-in-law had been taking care of the elderly since he was in his fifties. He had always been in good health. Why did he suddenly collapse today?
In the triple ward, the middle bed was empty. Li Hongwei lowered his voice and told Liu Lanxiang what happened today.
Liu Lanxiang’s eyes widened immediately. Her elder sister-in-law, Li Hongyan, was not her mother-in-law’s biological daughter. Then who gave birth to her?
When she asked again, Li Hongwei said, "You can't even say one or two sentences clearly. It's so embarrassing. You are so shameless."
Liu Lanxiang was a little confused when she heard him cursing with gnashing teeth.
But he didn't say anything, and she didn't know. She thought that when she got back, she would go and ask her daughter.
Li Hongwei was watching over her, so she went to prepare food.
Li Pingwang woke up in the middle of the night. He opened his eyes in a daze. The light from the bulb in the corridor came through the glass door of the ward. He could see clearly that he seemed to be in the ward and there was a person crawling beside his legs.
