This…” The old man really couldn’t make a decision. He thought about it over and over again but couldn’t easily come to a conclusion.
"Oh... I don't know what to do. Both of my children are my dearest children. I don't want to give up on either of them. I want them to live well! But in this situation, if I save Xiao Wei, I won't have money to support his brother. If I support his brother, I won't have money to save Xiao Wei. I'm really incompetent..."
As the old man spoke, tears flowed from his eyes; there was resentment and regret in his tears.
"Uncle, please think about my question again. If you have an answer, tell me." Ye Li said, shook the other's hand tightly, then turned and left.
The old man looked at Ye Li's back and fell into deep thought.
Ye Li, who had just come out of the inpatient department, ran into Lao Liu again at the hospital gate. She could clearly see that Lao Liu was worried.
It looked like he would come to see him soon. Ye Li ignored Lao Liu and walked away from him.
After a day in the hospital, Ye Li felt sore all over, so she went straight back to the courtyard.
"Ye Li, Ye Li! Go back to the house quickly and take a look. Jiang Hao is being punished by Jiang Xun to stand!" Zhao Xingmei said and dragged Ye Li into the house.
...
...
"Mom, what's going on?"
In Ye Li's impression, Jiang Hao seldom loses his temper with the two children, and rarely punishes them.
"I'm not sure either. When I entered the room, I saw Jiang Xun scolding Jiang Hao with a dark face. It seemed that he said Jiang Hao stole something!"
"What! Stealing things! This is outrageous! Jiang Hao is so young, and he has already developed such a bad habit!" Ye Li frowned immediately upon hearing this. This kind of bad habit cannot be tolerated.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the room, I saw Jiang Hao standing straight against the wall, his mouth tightly shut stubbornly, not saying a word.
"Dad, it definitely wasn't my brother who stole it. You've wronged him!" Jiang Li hugged Jiang Xun's arm and shook it hard, pleading for his good brother.
"Jiang Li, go play with grandma. Your brother has made a serious mistake. I must make him realize the seriousness of this problem."
After Jiang Xun finished speaking, he pushed Jiang Li next to Zhao Xingmei.
"Jiang Xun, how did you find out that Xiaohao stole something? What did he steal? Was it really him?"
Ye Li asked three questions in a row, expressing all the doubts in her mind. She was afraid that Jiang Hao was being wronged.
"Jiang Hao, talk to your mother yourself." Jiang Xun asked Jiang Hao to admit his mistake, but Jiang Hao didn't say a word.
"You're not going to tell me, are you? If you don't, I'm going to beat you up!"
Jiang Xun's patience has reached its limit. From the time he caught Xiao Hao stealing until now, Jiang Hao has never answered his father's questions. It seems that he is angry with his father, and it seems that he has not realized his mistake at all.
"Okay, stop forcing the kid like that. How about letting Ye Li come..." Zhao Xingmei couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing Jiang Hao's aggrieved look, she wanted to let Ye Li come and inquire about the situation, fearing that Jiang Xun would get angry and really hit him.
"Ah! My brother got beaten!"
A muffled sound, accompanied by Jiang Li's screams, echoed in the house.
Seeing that Jiang Hao still didn't speak, Jiang Xun raised the feather duster high again.
"Ye Li! Don't let Jiang Xun hit the child anymore! His hands are so heavy. If he continues like this, the child will be hurt!" Zhao Xingmei was heartbroken and she quickly urged Ye Li to stop Jiang Xun.
"Mom, take Jiang Li out first. Jiang Xun and I will take care of it." Ye Li did not dissuade Jiang Xun but instead drove Zhao Xingmei away.
Ye Li knew that the old man couldn't bear to see children being beaten, so it was better for him not to be there.
"Okay, please stop fighting!" Although Zhao Xingmei was worried, she still took Jiang Li out of the room.
Jiang Hao was hit with a stick and was obviously scared. This was the first time he had seen his father so angry since he was a child. Today was also the first time he was hit by his father.
"Jiang Hao, if you don't speak up and explain, your dad will probably beat you again. Is there something you can't say? You can come over and talk to mom quietly, okay?" Ye Li squatted down and looked at Jiang Hao gently, hoping that he could explain why he stole things.
"Mom! Wow..."
Jiang Hao rushed to his mother and hugged Ye Li tightly.
His tears slid down his little cheeks like beads that had broken off the string.
"Mom, I really didn't take the money for myself. I just wanted to help."
Jiang Hao finally spoke, and he cried loudly as he spoke, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Hearing Jiang Hao's words, Ye Li suddenly remembered that she found two hundred yuan missing from her cash box before she went on a business trip. It turned out that Jiang Hao had stolen the money.
"No matter what the reason is, stealing is wrong! You are only a few years old and you have developed such a bad habit! Jiang Hao, I tell you. This is the first time I see you stealing something, and it will be the last time. If I find out again, I will break your hands!" Jiang Xun's eyes were full of anger, which scared Jiang Hao so much that he didn't dare to look at him.
"You don't take the money to spend yourself, so what is it for?" Ye Li patted Jiang Hao on the back and asked the reason.
"I... I was helping others..." There was an older brother in the next yard who played very well with me. He was sick, and I took the money to pay for his medical treatment. " Jiang Hao finally told the reason why he stole the money.
After saying this, he felt even more wronged and cried louder and louder.
Zhao Xingmei and Jiang Li were just outside the door. When they heard Jiang Hao's sad cry, they couldn't help but wipe away their tears.
"Then do you feel wronged? You did a good thing, but you still get scolded by your parents." Ye Li finally understood why Jiang Hao felt so wronged.
"Yes! I am doing good things! I don't think I have done anything wrong! If I tell mom and dad, will you give me the money so that I can treat my little brother?" Jiang Hao's words stunned Ye Li and Jiang Xun. They didn't expect that Jiang Hao, at such a young age, was already guessing his parents' intentions.
"That older brother said he didn't want my money, but I insisted on giving it to him. I felt so sorry for him, he was in pain every day..."
Hearing Jiang Hao's words, Ye Li hugged him in his arms and hugged him tightly.
"Xiao Hao, there's nothing wrong with you helping your big brother, but your mistake is that you didn't tell mom and dad, but chose to solve the problem by stealing money. Mom and dad are not angry that you helped your big brother, but that you stole money. How do you know that mom and dad won't agree to you?" Ye Li asked, touching Jiang Hao's head.
"So mom and dad agree that I can help big brother! Big brother needs some money to buy medicine this month. Mom, can you give me some money?" When Jiang Hao heard that Ye Li did not object to him helping big brother, he directly asked Ye Li for money.
"I can give you the money, but you have to take me to see that big brother, how about that?"
"Okay! Big brother lives not far from our home, I can take you there right now!"
