"He will go and ask for the money from whoever he gave it to!"
After listening to Li Hongqiang's aggressive words, the room suddenly became quiet.
Not to mention Li Hongwei who felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest, even the second brother Li Hongjian and the fourth brother Li Honggang were dumbfounded.
They never knew that the third brother was so shameless.
He said he didn't recognize the money.
He said, whoever his elder brother gave the money to, he would go and ask for it back.
What does he mean.
"You, you..." The second brother Li Hongjian wanted to say something, but seeing the powerful look of the third brother, he didn't want to offend anyone. Then, he saw his mother Chen Xiaoying looking at him silently.
He finally managed to speak out his fair words: "Old Third, what you said is not right, aren't you cheating?"
"Without the twenty thousand dollars that Big Brother paid for you, and without us begging the family members and apologizing on your behalf, almost kneeling down before them, would they be willing to reconcile with you?"
"Anyway, don't say such things. I didn't ask you to compensate him so much." Li Hongqiang tilted his face and stared at the floor, not looking at anyone and not listening to anyone.
Li Hongwei felt cold all over. If this happened to anyone else, he would not even have time to thank them, but when it happened to Li Hongqiang, it was like he had offended him.
"Fourth Brother, do you think he is right?" Chen Xiaoying did not let the fourth brother Li Honggang go.
When the eldest brother Li Hongwei was in the village, he helped them so much, so why wouldn't he even say a word for him?
Li Honggang couldn't avoid it, so he could only say, "Third brother, then, then tell me, how much money do you plan to pay back to eldest brother?"
As soon as she heard this, Chen Xiaoying knew that, look, even though her youngest son usually didn't say anything, he had more ideas in his mind than his brothers.
He is just used to being oppressed, so he thinks, if you don't want to pay so much, then you decide how much you want to pay.
It is better to save and receive as much as you are given, than not getting a single cent back.
Then everyone watched as Li Hongqiang's expression relaxed.
Chen Xiaoying was extremely disappointed. Li Hongwei also realized that Li Hongqiang was not really ignorant or did not understand what was going on. He knew it very well and just wanted to shirk his debt.
He is so shameless.
"If you ask me to tell him, I would pay him a maximum of 2,000 yuan in compensation," said Li Hongqiang.
The room was quiet again.
The second oldest, Li Hongjian, and the fourth oldest, Li Honggang, looked at their oldest brother, Li Hongwei.
Li Hongwei took out 22,000 yuan, but Li Hongqiang was only willing to return him a fraction of the original amount.
Li Hongwei felt humiliated and stood up abruptly. He didn't want the money anymore and didn't want to stay here to see Li Hongqiang's face: "I..."
Li Hongqiang looked at him, his eyes subconsciously widened, with such anticipation in them that he himself did not even realize how eager he was.
If Li Hongwei was the same as before, he would just say forget it and say he didn't want it anymore.
It's not that he is unwilling to give it, it's that he doesn't want it.
Chen Xiaoying interrupted Li Hongwei coldly: "Go buy a train ticket now, go find the owner of the car, and get the money back."
"What?" Li Hongwei was stunned. He had already given the money, could he get it back?
"If they don't give us the money, we will just stay in their house and won't leave. You weren't the one who stole the car, so they should hold the one who stole the car responsible accountable. If they don't give us the money, we will go to court and sue them for extortion." When Chen Xiaoying came, she had already thought clearly about how she should stand up for her boss if Li Hongqiang cheated.
Li Hongqiang turned pale immediately.
"Mom?" Zhao Xueyan was also anxious: "Mom, I can't go."
If you get the money back, she will be angry and will definitely sue her husband. Wouldn't you still lock him up?
She has a husband in prison, and her daughter has a father in prison. How will they live in the future?
Zhao Xueyan couldn't help crying.
"Why are you crying? Why are you crying? I'm so unlucky because of you! You've cried away all my good luck." Li Hongqiang was so angry that he had no place to vent, so he cursed at his wife Zhao Xueyan.
Zhao Xueyan was furious and cried, "It's you who didn't study hard. You worked so hard, but where did all the money go? You didn't pay the mortgage, you didn't raise the children, you didn't care about the tuition and books, and you still have the nerve to scold me? I support this family."
"Fuck you, you have a pig-like face, what can you do?" Li Hongqiang pointed at Zhao Xueyan and kept cursing, humiliating her.
Zhao Xueyan burst into tears.
The couple quarreled with each other.
Chen Xiaoying has already stood up: "Boss, let's go."
Li Hongqiang scolded his wife while watching his mother's reaction. His mother didn't even bother to persuade him and just turned around and left. He gritted his teeth in anger and said to Li Hongwei, "What do you mean?"
He didn't dare to scold his mother Chen Xiaoying, and immediately turned his attention to his eldest brother Li Hongwei.
Li Hongwei felt very disappointed when he saw his fierce face.
From childhood to adulthood, Li Hongqiang has been a coward since he left the Li family. When others kicked him, he could only lower his head and hunch over in the corner, not daring to run or curse.
But when it comes to him, he becomes very powerful and as arrogant as a mad dog.
This time, Li Hongwei saw through Li Hongqiang's true face and said to him coldly, "You are an ungrateful person. Whether you live or die in the future has nothing to do with me. I don't have a brother like you."
Li Hongwei is going to break off his relationship with Li Hongqiang.
Li Hongwei is such a person. If he doesn't get along with someone in the village, or knows that someone looks down on him, he will never get close to them and will never give others the opportunity to accuse him of trying to curry favor with them.
He has a strong sense of self-esteem, and the only ones who put aside their pride and sacrificed themselves for him were his brothers. Yet they treated him like this, especially Li Hongqiang, who was the most shameless.
"Brother, brother, don't argue with the third brother. He is just confused." The second brother, Li Hongjian, thought he was trying to mediate and act like a good guy.
Chen Xiaoying asked him directly: "Is Lao San confused? Who is right and who is wrong? Who should you persuade?"
The second child, Li Hongjian, sighed, "Mom!"
"Don't call me mom. I'm afraid that one day you will advise me like this. I'm obviously the unlucky one who suffers, but you see that I have a good temper and am easy to bully, so you can only take sides and force me to bow my head." Chen Xiaoying said sarcastically.
The second brother, Li Hongjian, blushed: "That's not what I meant."
"But what you did was just this kind of thing. The eldest brother sacrificed so much for the third brother. Does he deserve it?"
"Now he doesn't ask the third brother for money anymore. Didn't the third brother also say that he can ask whoever the money is for?" said Chen Xiaoying.
Li Hongqiang became a little scared.
It goes without saying that if the money is to be recovered, the car owner will definitely sue him again.
He didn't want to go through the ten days he spent in detention again.
That is not a place for human beings to stay. When he went to the toilet, he was not allowed to go. They didn't care even if he wet his pants. They didn't care even if he was very hungry. They handcuffed his hands to the iron railings. He couldn't stand up or squat. He had to either hunch over or kneel.
He felt as if every bone in his body was about to break.
The only time he felt comfortable was when he was being interrogated, but the searchlight shone on his face, making it so bright that he couldn't open his eyes, and he kept asking him questions, as if he had committed murder or arson.
He just stole a car, he didn't even succeed in stealing it.
