The second brother, Li Hongjian, looked at his eldest brother, Li Hongwei, and said, "I don't know either. I came here with my eldest brother."

"Fourth brother, what about you?" Li Hongqiang's tone was already wrong. He felt that it must be his eldest brother Li Hongwei who took the lead and came to cause trouble for him.

Li Honggang also glanced at Li Hongwei, gave a dry laugh, and looked embarrassed: "Me too."

Then Li Hongqiang looked at Li Hongwei as if he was looking at an enemy.

Li Hongwei felt very disappointed.

Chen Xiaoying closed her eyes and said, "It wasn't Hongwei who asked them to come. It was me who asked them to come."

"Second brother, fourth brother, is it difficult for you to explain clearly?"

The second oldest, Li Hongjian, blinked, not understanding: "Isn't this different?"

Anyway, we are all here to find the third brother.

The fourth child, Li Hong, came to his senses at this time and quickly added to Li Hongqiang: "Mom asked us to come, but I don't know what it is about."

Li Hongqiang directed his cold eyes towards Chen Xiaoying again.

Looking at Chen Xiaoying, I just want to slap him twice.

"Please sit down. You all have asked for leave and you all have your own things to do. Let's be brief," she said.

Li Hongwei breathed a sigh of relief. If his mother didn't say anything, he really wouldn't be able to ask the third brother about the twenty thousand yuan. He felt that they were all brothers, and if they didn't talk about money, the third brother would have a problem with him. If he talked about money, it would confirm his words that he was selfish and only cared about himself.

Zhao Xueyan quietly walked to the side, poured a glass of water for each of them, and then sat aside.

The third brother, Li Hongqiang, had no way to eat, so he could only sit over there, with a sullen face and not saying a word.

He is just like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. I am just here, listening to what you say.

Li Hongwei felt aggrieved when seeing this.

Now that we're all seated, let's talk?

The second child, Li Hongjian, and the fourth child, Li Honggang, immediately turned their eyes to their mother, Chen Xiaoying.

Chen Xiaoying looked at her two sons' "naive and stupid" eyes and almost laughed out of anger: "You don't know why you came here today?"

They both shook their heads.

Li Hongqiang didn't know either and looked confused.

Li Hongwei felt even more aggrieved. He opened his mouth to say something, but seeing that he was not good at speaking, he was afraid that he would say something wrong and offend others, so he had to shut his mouth again.

All four brothers are like this.

It's no wonder that Li Hongyan was so stubborn and could deceive all of them, her relatives. Especially the third brother, who was sold out, but he still helped Li Hongyan count the money with a grateful heart.

Chen Xiaoying asked Li Hongjian and Li Honggang: "Old Two, Old Four, based on your current salaries, how long will it take you to earn 22,000 yuan?"

The second brother, Li Hongjian, felt a jolt in his heart and looked at the third brother, Li Hongqiang.

The fourth brother Li Honggang also understood that this was their mother coming to stand up for their eldest brother Li Hongwei.

The third brother, Li Hongqiang, was furious and shouted at Li Hongwei: "Brother, what do you mean?"

Li Hongwei was also confused, but he also became angry: "What do I mean? What do you think I mean? I don't even know what I mean."

What does it mean?

Doesn’t the third brother Li Hongqiang know?

Does he really not know, or is he pretending to be stupid?

Li Hongqiang just doesn't like his eldest brother Li Hongwei. He thinks that among his brothers, Li Hongwei is the most selfish and black-hearted person.

Without even thinking twice, he yelled back, "How should I know what you mean?"

As if he really didn't know.

Li Hongwei was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. Even if he really knew nothing, he couldn't treat him like this because he had spent more than 20,000 yuan on him.

ungrateful!

Li Hongwei felt that these four words were written on Li Hongqiang's face.

"Second brother, fourth brother, you tell me." Chen Xiaoying knew that Li Hongwei could not ask Li Hongqiang for money because of their brotherhood. She wanted Li Hongwei to hear what the attitudes of his other two brothers were when they had given so much to him and suffered injustice.

The second oldest brother, Li Hongjian, didn't know what to say. He looked at his oldest brother, Li Hongwei, then at his third brother, Li Hongqiang, and then at their mother, Chen Xiaoying: "I don't know what to say either."

He sighed, slapped his thigh and stopped talking.

The fourth brother, Li Hong, just looked at his second brother and said nothing. He also looked at everyone and stammered, "I, I don't know what's going on..."

He stopped talking halfway through, which meant, you can figure it out for yourself, this matter has nothing to do with me, I don’t know, so don’t ask me.

Seeing the two brothers like this, Li Hongwei's eyes turned red.

Chen Xiaoying said, "Okay, the boss and I know what you mean. In fact, he should have thought it through a long time ago. You have already started your own families and careers, and each of you has your own things to do. He just doesn't understand and always wants to help you one-sidedly."

"For example, Third Brother, when the village was dividing up residential land, you were not at home, and the eldest brother fought for you. What was the result?"

She looked at Li Hongqiang, but Li Hongqiang turned his head expressionlessly and didn't look at her.

Li Hongqiang thought to himself, look, the second and fourth brothers don’t want to speak for the eldest brother, which proves that everyone knows what kind of person he is.

What are you pretending for?

Chen Xiaoying asked the second brother, Li Hongjian: "Later, when the neighbor was building a house, he deliberately occupied one meter. It was the eldest brother who helped him get it back. But after the third brother came back, what did he say to the eldest brother?"

The second brother Li Hongjian and the fourth brother Li Honggang recalled it all, their expressions looking somewhat subtle.

After the third brother came back, he said that the residential land that the eldest brother had given him was not good because it was next to the village road.

During the day and at night, there are cars and people passing by on the road, as well as tractors and tricycles, which make a lot of noise and make it difficult to sleep. Moreover, next to him lives someone who occupies one meter of his residential land. With such a neighbor, he will never live a peaceful life.

The boss did it on purpose.

But what is the reality?

They thought about it in their hearts but didn't say it out loud. Chen Xiaoying helped Li Hongwei to say it out loud: "...they complained that the homestead they occupied was not good, and they complained that he stood up for them, and that his head was broken by someone. He must have offended someone..."

"But what is the truth? Third brother, think about it yourself."

Li Hongqiang frowned: "Anyway, that's how it is."

"But the truth is not like that. This piece of housing land is actually the best. The people who divided the housing land with you are either on the edge of the village, on the edge of the ditch, or next to the grove. They are either remote or have tree roots that extend into the yard and push open the wall. What's more, those near the ditch are afraid of landslides when it rains heavily."

"But where is your homestead? It's in the inner part of the village, not far from the old house. The original family moved their household registration, and the homestead that was allocated to their son was taken back by the village and redistributed. For that piece of homestead, the eldest brother ran around, asking people for favors, and giving gifts..."

"But in the end, what did he get from you?"

Chen Xiaoying stared at Li Hongqiang with burning eyes.

Li Hongqiang's eyes flashed. When he first saw the issue of the housing land, he felt unhappy.

He didn't ask the boss to occupy the homestead for him. He just did whatever he wanted. And we have to ask him to thank him afterward?
