Now that he thought about it, his words of disdain for the homestead were said secretly by his elder sister Li Hongyan:

"Why has no one wanted this residential land for several years? Isn't it because no one in the village wants it?"

"If it was really good, people would have been fighting for it long ago. How could it be the boss' turn?"

"He's just using other people's unwanted junk to trick you."

But listen to what his mother said, is this still a popular commodity?

Li Hongqiang didn't think about it at all. The reason why it wasn't built for several years was that the village party secretary and the village chief were competing with each other during those years. Both of them wanted to take advantage of it and give it to the person they had a good relationship with.

Later, the village party secretary gained the upper hand, and Li Hongwei gave him some good wood as a favor.

Li Hongqiang was not convinced: "You are biased towards my eldest brother. You flatter him every day and say good things about him everywhere. We are not as good as him."

"My eldest sister also said that this piece of land was originally a cemetery and no one wanted it. People all thought it was unlucky."

And what about this matter? He had just forgotten about it.

Chen Xiaoying was so angry that she laughed: "A cemetery? There was a war in the village back then. Where didn't people die? Or maybe people choose where to die. As long as it's a place where the villagers build houses now, it's all clean and no one has died there."

Li Hongqiang is just making far-fetched arguments.

He was unable to utter a word when questioned. Seeing his stubborn look, Chen Xiaoying was filled with disappointment.

"So, you think that whenever the boss treats you well, he has bad intentions?"

Li Hongqiang snorted heavily.

Zhao Xueyan looked at her mother-in-law's face and felt uneasy.

"Second brother, fourth brother, what do you think? Your eldest brother has ulterior motives in helping you?" Chen Xiaoying pressed the second brother Li Hongjian and the fourth brother Li Honggang to express their opinions.

This time, the two are no longer shy about it.

The second brother, Li Hongjian, always thought that he was the most generous and fair among the brothers. He said, "What bad intentions do you have? I'm not in the village, but my eldest brother has helped me a lot. I remember it in my heart."

The fourth brother, Li Honggang, also said: "I know, it's not easy for my eldest brother either."

After the two expressed their opinions, Chen Xiaoying asked again, "So, when your eldest brother was treated unfairly and suffered a loss, why didn't you speak up for him?"

"How dare you watch him get wronged? Like the incident with the third brother?"

The second brother Li Hongjian and the fourth brother Li Honggang were both stuck at once, looking at each other.

Li Hong just shrank his neck and said nothing.

The second oldest, Li Hongjian, thought he was right: "Mom, people say that both sides of your hand are made of flesh and blood. My eldest brother is my eldest brother, and my third brother is my third brother. I am both the younger brother and the older brother. Who do you want me to favor?"

He was still putting on airs. Chen Xiaoying glared at him: "Do you know what justice is? It is justice for people to stand up for others when they are treated unfairly. You just stand aside and watch without doing anything. Isn't that the same as watching the fun?"

"It also amounts to acknowledging that the person who was wronged was wrong."

Li Hongjian was stunned. Is this really the case?

Chen Xiaoying sighed and shook her head: "Do you know that you are also helping the evil? Your eldest brother is right, but you don't support him or speak for him. The third brother is wrong, but you don't say anything. The third brother will think that since you all keep silent, it means that the eldest brother is wrong, and he is speaking for you."

At this point, the third brother Li Hongqiang suddenly raised his head and glanced at Chen Xiaoying. This was what he was thinking in his heart.

The second brother, Li Hongjian, gradually felt his face getting hot, it turned out that what he did was wrong.

"Mom." Li Hongwei, a man in his forties, was about to cry.

Only his mother understood him and knew the love he had for his brothers.

The third brother, as well as the second and fourth brothers, they all went too far. They knew everything clearly in their hearts, but the third brother didn't appreciate his kindness, and the second and fourth brothers only cared about themselves and didn't say a single fair word for him.

He didn't want anything from them, so why did he do so many things but no one said a good word about him?

Seeing Li Hongwei like this, the second brother Li Hongjian and the fourth brother Li Honggang felt very uncomfortable.

Li Hongqiang's face turned red from holding back his anger. He didn't think that the boss was really doing this for his own good. He had done so much just to make others think that he was a loser and that they had to rely on him for everything.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. You are all grown up now. If you feel uncomfortable getting along with each other in the future, just have less contact." Chen Xiaoying looked at the third child, Li Hongqiang: "Third child, you think so too, right?"

Li Hongqiang snorted again, frowned and said nothing.

That's what he meant, but he didn't say it.

Chen Xiaoying was too lazy to look at his sour face: "Then let's talk about today's business."

"Business? What's the matter?" The second son Li Hongjian couldn't help but ask.

After all this talk, this is not the real thing.

Chen Xiaoying was laying the groundwork. The eldest brother had done so many things in his life to help his brothers that it would take a whole day and night to tell them all. She only talked about the matter of the homestead.

"What are you talking about? Did your eldest brother and you alone get the third brother out of the police station?"

The second brother Li Hongjian looked at his eldest brother Li Hongwei. To be honest, he was the one who talked, but his eldest brother was the one who paid.

"Old Third, didn't you return the money to Big Brother?"

The second brother suddenly said this, and said it directly.

Chen Xiaoying was stunned by what she heard.

She thought that only she could say these words, but the second child actually said them.

The third child, Li Hongqiang, was also stunned for a moment. From childhood to adulthood, when he was beaten, his eldest brother would run to beat him back. When his things were stolen, his eldest brother would go to help him get them back. When he was hungry, his eldest brother would give him food first. When he was not in the village, his eldest brother would take care of him in all kinds of matters...

Now, they were asking him for money.

"You ask me for money?" Li Hongqiang suddenly looked at Li Li, his eyes full of shock.

Li Hongwei was also stunned. Shouldn’t he want it?

The second brother, Li Hongjian, could not help but say, "Third brother, what are you talking about? Big brother paid more than 20,000 yuan. Otherwise, they would sue you and put you in jail. Big brother can't pay for this. You have to find a way to pay it back."

He didn't mention this matter at first. He was thinking that the eldest brother and the third brother should know each other, so is there any need for him to say it?

Li Hongqiang's face changed: "Who asked you to give him so much money? He didn't fall hard at all, you just want to extort money. I would rather go to jail than pay him so much money."

"You gave the money to that kind of person, and then you came back to ask me for it? Boss, what do you mean?"

Li Hongwei was stunned.

The others were also stunned.

Chen Xiaoying came back to her senses and stared at the third brother: "According to you, you would rather go to jail than pay the car owner this money?"

Li Hongqiang stiffened his neck and looked gloomy: "He is blackmailing me for so much money!"

Chen Xiaoying said coldly: "If you don't act like a thief, the car owner won't be able to extort money from you."

Li Hongqiang blushed: "At that time, I was just impulsive. Anyway, I couldn't accept this money."

He must be crazy to admit that the 20,000 yuan was given by the boss himself.

"He will go and ask for the money from whoever he gave it to!"
