Li Hongqiang felt a dull pain in his chest and looked at everyone around him with hatred in his eyes.
These are his relatives who never care about his life or death. When he was chased for debt and forced to steal a car, no one asked him if he had any difficulties.
They all blamed him for stealing.
"Are you going to kill me?"
His eyes were once again fixed on his elder brother Li Hongwei.
Li Hongwei was so angry that his face changed: "It's obviously you who are forcing me?"
He spent more than 20,000 yuan to get him out, and now he is just asking him to pay back the money. Does that count as forcing him?
"It's more than 20,000 yuan, all my hard-earned money, and you're only willing to give me 2,000 yuan? What do you mean?"
"You obviously have money, so what's wrong with spending some money on me?" Li Hongqiang thought of the account that Li Hongyan had calculated for him, such as how many acres of land Li Hongwei had contracted, how much the annual income from one acre of land was, how much money he had in his bank passbook, and whether his family had purchased any large items throughout the year.
According to conservative estimates, he has at least 70,000 or 80,000 yuan deposited in the bank, so what if he uses his 20,000 yuan?
They are brothers!
Li Hongqiang was not convinced, his eyes were full of resentment: "People like you are selfish!"
Li Hongwei fell silent and looked at Li Hongqiang with complicated eyes.
He had absolutely nothing to say to this person.
In the past, no matter what he did for him, he kept silent. He thought he understood it in his heart but was just too embarrassed to say it. Until today, he finally laid things out.
Only then did I realize that Li Hongqiang had never thanked him at all.
Moreover, he still harbored resentment and felt that helping him was humiliating him.
Chen Xiaoying didn't want to talk anymore and turned away.
Li Hongwei also turned around and followed his mother's footsteps.
The second brother, Li Hongjian, was furious: "Third brother, what's wrong with you? If the eldest brother was selfish, would he help you so much? Would he spend so much money on you?"
Li Honggang also felt very uncomfortable and left silently. He had made up his mind that he would not have any contact with this third brother in the future. If you treat him well, he will not feel good about it. If you treat him badly, he will resent you even more.
Look, he never said anything and never did anything, but the third brother never quarreled with him and was always nice to him.
Everyone left.
Li Hongqiang's face looked extremely ugly. He wondered if his brother would really go over there and ask the car owner for compensation.
He didn't want to go to jail anymore.
"Are you a dead person? Are you my wife? They just said that to me and you didn't say a word. Are you thinking that I will die and you can marry someone better?" He turned around and cursed at Zhao Xueyan.
Zhao Xueyan cried in grievance: "It's obviously you who has no conscience. Why are you like this?"
She had seen through this man. He was heartless. Not only was he selfish, he was also stupid. Such a person would never have a peaceful and stable life because he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad.
How lucky he is to have Chen Xiaoying as his biological mother and an elder brother like Li Hongwei who is willing to make selfless contributions.
"You keep crying all the time. I'm so unlucky because of you. Shut up!" Li Hongqiang said, and rushed forward to slap Zhao Xueyan twice.
Zhao Xueyan was desperate.
I remembered what my mother-in-law said: if she wants a divorce, just tell her.
Should she divorce? Her daughter Li Yujie is still young...
Chen Xiaoying went out and stood in a quiet place at the gate of the community. Li Hongwei couldn't help asking, "Mom, do I really have to go over there to ask the car owner for compensation?"
Chen Xiaoying glanced at him and said, "Of course you have to go. You don't owe him anything. Why should you give so much, but get only resentment and dissatisfaction in return?"
The second son, Li Hongjian, felt sorry for the third son, but there was nothing he could do.
The fourth brother, Li Honggang, just smiled faintly, looked dry, and said nothing.
Li Hongwei didn't want to go, as he couldn't bear to watch Li Hongqiang go to jail, but Chen Xiaoying forced him to go to the train station to buy a train ticket for the day after tomorrow.
The second brother Li Hongjian and the fourth brother Li Honggang saw with their own eyes that Li Hongwei got on a tricycle and went to the train station to buy a ticket.
Chen Xiaoying silently glanced at the second child, Li Honggang, and left.
"Brother, if everything is fine, I should go back to work." Li Honggang is doing very well in the food factory now. He just keeps his head down and does his job every day, and he gets a stable salary.
The factory also provides meals. Those who live in the factory are provided with three meals a day, and those who do not live in the factory are provided with two meals.
His life has been much better.
The fourth brother, Li Hong, just left, leaving the second brother, Li Hongjian, alone.
He turned around to look at the building where Li Hongqiang lived, sighed, and had to leave. There was nothing he could do since the third brother was not doing well enough.
What he said and did today was so disheartening.
They never thought that someone like him would have the same mother as them.
Li Hongqiang acted arrogantly in his own home and forced Zhao Xueyan to give him money. Zhao Xueyan had no money and kept crying.
The noise was so loud that the neighbors next door came and banged on the door.
Then they stopped.
It was getting dark and Li Yujie was still nowhere to be seen. Zhao Xueyan wiped away her tears and had to go out to look for her daughter.
When she walked on the street where the street lights were on and looked at the people hurrying by, her heart felt cold.
Li Hongwei really bought a train ticket. It was not far from here and the train ticket cost 38.5 yuan.
Li Hongqiang found out from his second brother Li Hongjian that Li Hongwei had really bought a train ticket, and he became anxious.
He took advantage of the fact that the grocery store was still open at night and quickly called Li Hongyan.
As a result, the village party secretary who answered the phone called him for help. After calling for a long time, he finally said on the phone: "Your eldest sister is not at home."
Didn't he say why Li Hongqiang called Li Hongyan "big sister" on the phone, and called her so intimately, as if they were a family? How did he call his biological sister?
"What about my brother-in-law? Did you ask him to answer the phone?"
Why isn’t his elder sister at home so late at night?
The village party secretary was very annoyed. He was about to go to bed at night, but he kept receiving calls: "Zhao Faliang has already gone to bed. He didn't come at all. As for Li Hongyan, she said she had something to do and went to the county town. What's the matter? Didn't you see her?"
Li Hongqiang was a little confused. Doesn’t his elder sister know that he is back?
The phone call was over, and Li Hongqiang couldn't help but shiver when the cool breeze blew.
What would he do if his elder sister didn’t help him find a solution?
While Li Hongqiang was anxious, Li Hongyan had already boarded a train to the provincial capital to find her biological mother Liang Xiuqing.
Li Hongqiang was extremely anxious. The next day, he was so anxious that he kicked and slapped Li Yujie impatiently for not wanting to go to school. After driving her out of the door, he finally reluctantly went to school with Chen Xiaoying.
"Mom, tell my eldest brother that I will find a way to pay him back."
Chen Xiaoying looked Li Hongqiang up and down and asked, "When are you going to pay it back?"
Li Hongqiang recalled that when he came back, he only had more than 50 yuan in his pocket, and he had to ask Zhao Xueyan for the money he had spent in the past few days.
He has no money.
"I'll go out to work and pay him back." He frowned and said resentfully.
Chen Xiaoying laughed: "Li Hongyan also owed you brothers a lot of money. She also said that she would pay it back, but in fact, she has never paid back a penny."
"Are you planning to be like her, just wanting to keep on paying me back like this? You'll keep on paying me back for half your life, and once you die, you won't have to pay me back?"
