Li Qiaozhen entered the ward and greeted Li Daniu: "Big brother is here too?"
When Li Erniu saw Li Qiaozhen, he was completely displeased. Hearing what Li Qiaozhen said, he snorted directly through his nose.
"What are you pretending for? If you didn't know your older brother was here, would you even have come to see me?"
Li Qiaozhen wasn't angry, but she rolled her eyes dramatically, plopped down on the chair next to Li Erniu's bed, and put her legs up on the edge of the bed, saying, "You really guessed right. If it weren't for my brother's sake, I wouldn't come even if you were injured or even if you paid me to come and mourn you."
Li Qiaozhen's words were harsh, but they were true. After all, she looked down on Li Erniu from the bottom of her heart and even thought that such a scumbag who harmed women should be beaten to death.
"How dare you talk like that? I'm still your brother, aren't I? Why are you so nice to our older brother, but treat me like this?"
"You should take a piss and see what kind of person you are. Do you even deserve to be called 'brother' by me?!"
Li Qiaozhen scoffed. Li Daniu ignored the siblings' argument; it was normal for them to bicker whenever they met. It would be abnormal if Jian stopped bickering when they met.
Just then, a man suddenly rushed into the ward, pushing open the door in a panic. Looking at Li Daniu, he said, "Grandpa, we've found out who beat up Second Master!"
Li Daniu sat up straight instantly, his eyes wide open, but not with anger, but with intense curiosity and excitement.
"Speak! Speak!"
The underling took a couple of breaths to catch his breath and then immediately said, "The person who beat up Second Master was none other than Su Ning, the head of the purchasing department of the supply and marketing cooperative!"
Wen Yan, Li Qiaozhen, and Li Daniu were both shocked and said, "What? The head of the purchasing department? Li Erniu, when did you offend the head of the purchasing department? You're really something, you little bastard, I'll beat you to death today!"
Li Daniu instantly stood up, grabbed his cane, and was about to hit Li Erniu. Li Erniu quickly dodged to the side, leaving Li Daniu's left hand and right leg immobilized.
Seeing the two brothers bickering, Li Qiaozhen frowned and said, "Brother, now is not the time to teach him a lesson. The most important thing now is to resolve this matter. Li Erniu, tell me the truth, what kind of trouble have you caused today?"
Upon hearing Li Qiaozhen's question, Li Erniu immediately began to stammer, his eyes darting around. Li Qiaozhen knew from his demeanor that he must have done something wrong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been beaten up like this by a mere office worker.
So Li Qiaozhen looked at Li Daniu and asked, "Brother, does the Su family have a youngest daughter? I remember seeing her when I was little, but I don't remember clearly."
Li Daniu didn't answer immediately, but thought for a moment before saying, "It seems that he does have a little daughter who is not yet an adult, but she will be soon. She's about the same age as Lin Chaosheng's sister-in-law."
"What?! He's not even an adult yet!"
Li Qiaozhen immediately turned to look at Li Erniu. Seeing his flustered expression, she knew that his and his elder brother's guess must be correct.
That bastard is definitely going to ruin the Su family's daughter, and his brother will see it all.
"Fine, you Li Erniu, you dare to bully even yourself, let alone that little girl who is so young, how could you do that? Are you even human? You're simply an animal."
"In the end, you're all just insulting me. One of you is my older brother, and the other is my younger sister! Now I've been beaten bloody, my hands and legs are all broken, and not one of you is speaking up for me?"
Li Erniu was furious, as if he were the one who had been wronged.
Li Daniu waved his hand, unwilling to argue with him about such things anymore.
"Erniu is right. He shouldn't suffer this injustice for nothing. We bullied someone's girl. Let Erniu go and apologize. Isn't that enough? Did we have to resort to such violence?"
Li Qiaozhen glanced at Li Daniu. Although she was somewhat unhappy, she did not refute what he said.
After all, his older brother was extremely protective of his own. No matter how outrageous Li Erniu's actions were, and no matter how much he disliked Li Erniu, in his heart, Li Erniu was still one of his men. And his men couldn't be bullied.
"But we're in the wrong here, brother. You're not planning to take some people to cause trouble for them, are you?"
"Ahem..." Li Daniu coughed twice, lowered his head, and said, "Qiao Zhen, what are you saying? Is your older brother really such a person who can't distinguish right from wrong?"
“Our family did something wrong, and we still went to cause trouble for others. No one can justify doing that.”
Upon hearing this, Li Erniu immediately became anxious and said, "Then all my injuries were for nothing. What did I call you here for?"
"Of course I came here to see the joke." Li Qiaozhen rolled her eyes at him, sneered, and left the ward.
Enraged, Li Erniu muttered curses on his hospital bed, wanting to say a few more, but upon seeing his older brother's fierce gaze, he immediately fell silent, cowering under the covers like a quail.
"I'm telling you, Li Erniu, I won't help you with this. After all, you were in the wrong first. And I've warned you countless times not to let this kind of thing happen again, but you just ignored me, didn't you?"
“If it were anything else, I could help you sort it out—whether it was a fight or you were wronged, as your older brother, I would definitely fight back for you without hesitation. But this is a matter of principle. You should reflect on your actions!”
After saying that, Li Daniu turned and left the ward, leaving Li Erniu alone in the ward, furious.
After leaving the ward, Da Niu returned to the gambling den. On the way, he kept thinking that something was wrong, and he felt that he had heard the name Su Ning somewhere before.
But I always felt that without a face, he couldn't match the name with the person, so I stopped thinking about it.
Meanwhile, Liang Fu and Su Hang had already gone to sleep, while Liang Mei and Lin Chaosheng sat in the courtyard. Their big eyes were red and swollen from crying, like a pair of walnuts, making them very pitiful.
Seeing his wife crying like this, Lin Chaosheng felt bad too.
Especially since she was pregnant, she quickly pulled the woman into her arms and gently comforted her, "Xiaomei, don't worry, even if Li Erniu really bullied our sister, I, Lin Chaosheng, will absolutely not let him off easily because of Li Daniu. I will make him apologize to our sister!"
“Chaosheng, I don’t want to put you in a difficult position. You and Brother Da Niu are such good friends, and you often need his help with many things. If you fall out with him for Xiao Fu’s sake, then what will happen in the future…”
As she spoke, she started crying again.
