The Li family, led by their father Li Pingwang, a bully and cowardly father, has several sons, all of whom are cowards except Li Hongwei.
From childhood to adulthood, whenever someone hit or kicked them, they would just hunch their shoulders and not dare to move at all.
Even when others lie and say that they provoked them first, that's why they beat them.
Li Pingwang would not stand up for his wrongly accused sons. Instead, for the sake of his own face and favors, he would beat his sons severely in front of others.
Li Hongjian and his friends grew up in such a family environment, and each one of them is more timid and cowardly than the other.
Li Hongqiang has been working away from home for more than ten years. Without the shadow of his childhood, he has completely let himself go. Unlike Li Hongjian and Li Honggang, who are inherently timid, this accompanies every aspect of their lives.
Li Hongqiang was not shrouded in such a shadow, but the timidity in his bones was still there. Otherwise, why didn't he dare to rob but steal instead?
Li Hongyan subconsciously wanted to speak, but suddenly remembered that she was no longer their eldest sister, and it would be inappropriate for her to speak, so she said, "Boss, you brothers can handle it. I don't know anything, so I won't comment on this matter."
This is what Li Hongyan said.
However, he didn't expect that in Li Hongwei's mind, the impression that she was only good at talking but never doing anything was deeply rooted in his mind, and he thought that she had once again cleared herself of any responsibility when something happened in the Li family.
Li Hongwei had not counted on her at first, because whenever something happened to the Li family, as long as she could not make any profit, she would say a hundred words but not do anything.
"Second brother, what do you think?" Li Hongwei asked the second brother Li Hongjian.
Li Hongjian told the truth: "Brother, I have also worked there for more than ten years, but I work in the factory all day long and don't know anyone in the police station. What should I do?"
Li Hongwei asked Li Honggang again: "Old Four, what do you think?"
The fourth brother laughed dryly and looked uncomfortable: "I don't know either."
When I came to discuss it with them, they all said they had no way to do it.
"From what I heard from the police station, if we don't want Lao San to go to jail, we have to speak good words to the owner of the motorcycle and find a way to settle the matter privately. Only then can this matter be let go," said Li Hongwei.
In fact, he was a little annoyed. His father was still in the hospital with hemiplegia, which was a serious illness. His eldest sister was not his biological child, and his mother Chen Xiaoying was anxiously waiting to find the whereabouts of his biological sister. The third child, Li Hongqiang, could not help with anything and he was causing trouble for them!
"Is the patient seriously ill? How much does it cost?" Li Honggang couldn't help asking.
Li Hongwei just glanced at him, but he didn't expect that the fourth brother would ask the most crucial question directly.
"I don't know either. Some soft tissue contusion, concussion, or something. It's probably serious. Let's go as soon as possible. Dad needs help here."
Li Hongjian said, "Brother, how about I go and take a look tomorrow?"
The second brother, Li Hongjian, is not very smart, but he is an honest man. He thinks he has worked there for more than ten years and is familiar with the place, so he goes to take a look first.
but,
"Brother, do you think that their family will fight with me? I, I, I can't fight." After Li Hongjian said this, he remembered that they might go after Li Hongqiang's parents and he became scared again.
Li Hongwei's face darkened, he was also afraid.
If they get there, they will be surrounded by seven or eight family members and beaten up. How frustrating it would be.
It’s not their fault, the third brother is such a loser.
Li Hongwei felt very frustrated.
Just when everyone was silent, a family member in the ward poked his head out and said, "Hey, your dad is calling for help. He needs to go to the bathroom."
Li Hongwei had no choice but to go back with a few people.
Li Pingwang went to the toilet and took a walk. When he felt comfortable, he lay back on the sickbed and asked Li Hongjian, "What is he doing? Come on, it's okay. Let him go!"
Li Pingwang still has some grievances against Li Hongwei.
It was not Li Hongwei who said not to treat him, but Chen Xiaoying. Not only Li Hongwei but also Li Hongjian and a few others promised to obey. However, Li Pingwang got angry at Li Hongwei.
Li Hongwei was already upset and remembered what his mother Chen Xiaoying had said.
I couldn't help but say, "Dad, please calm down and go to the hospital to see a doctor. By the way, think about where my dear sister is. We still have things to do."
Li Pingwang was immediately angry. What could be more important than him?
Can't you see that he is paralyzed?
"What, what's the matter?" He spoke a little more clearly and asked Li Hongyan angrily.
Li Hongyan looked at Li Hongwei's face, and fearing that Li Pingwang might be upset, she did not dare to say, "Dad, it's okay."
"Yes, yes, there is something. What is it? Tell me." Li Pingwang said.
"Don't worry about so many things. Just focus on your illness." The second son Li Hongjian felt uncomfortable whenever he thought about having to take a train to another place the next day to take the beating for the third son Li Hongqiang.
Li Pingwang immediately asked Li Honggang again.
Li Honggang and the others took a look at each other's faces and said vaguely, "My third brother is in trouble and is in the hospital. I asked our people to go over and take a look and talk about the medical expenses."
Li Pingwang was stunned. Medical expenses, what does this mean?
He digested it carefully and thought about the character of the third brother Li Hongqiang. He had been doing stupid things since he was a child and had no brains.
"I got into trouble. Yes, no, what happened? Tell me."
Li Pingwang asked angrily.
Since Li Honggang had said so much, Li Hongwei had no choice but to tell him everything.
He thought that his father Li Pingwang would be more or less stimulated, and he was ready for him to faint from anger and to call a doctor immediately.
As a result, Li Pingwang was so angry that he was shaking all over, his eyes were wide open, and he was cursing, "Let the third brother die. Who cares? This useless guy, just let him die outside."
This kind of shameful thing is not his son.
Don’t say Li Hongqiang is his son from now on.
Although his words were intermittent and vague, people like Li Hongwei who were familiar with him fully summarized his meaning.
"Don't go, no, don't care, take care of it, he, he deserves it." Li Pingwang widened his eyes and tried to utter words: "The country, the country will take care of him..."
Li Hongwei was silent for a moment, then looked at the second brother Li Hongjian and the others. Li Hongjian didn't want to take the beating for the third brother Li Hongqiang, but he felt that there would be no brotherhood if he didn't care.
"Brother, what do you think?"
Li Hongwei has been warned by his biological mother Chen Xiaoying not to make decisions on his own, but to discuss things together. In the end, when the third child wants to blame someone, he will not blame you alone.
If the second brother asks him this and lets him make the decision, then the third brother will still blame him in the end.
"I can do anything. It's up to you guys." Li Hongwei said subconsciously.
As soon as he said this, the fourth brother Li Honggang felt that this sounded very familiar and subconsciously glanced at Li Hongwei. Isn't this what he often said?
The eldest brother said what he said. What did he say?
After thinking for a while, he said, "It doesn't matter to me. I'll do whatever you say."
The second brother, Li Hongjian, opened his eyes wide. What a shame! It’s such a big problem, but there’s nothing we can do about it.
Especially the eldest brother, he is usually the one who takes care of everything, so why is he silent this time?
