Li Erzhi: “Alei, Alei…” But there was no response from Lin Lei.
Finally, Li Erzhi was asked to leave the ward by the police, and Li Erzhi could only return to the Lin family in despair.
Li Erzhi burst into tears as soon as she saw Lin's father. "Old Lin, something happened to A Lei. He was arrested by the police. Wuwuwu..."
Lin's father, Lin Huo, was shocked: "What? What happened? He was beaten by someone, why was he the one who was arrested?"
"The police said that A Lei bribed some thugs to break Jiang Shushu's legs. The thugs were arrested and gave A Lei away. The police have witnesses and evidence, and A Lei has confessed. When A Lei feels better in three days, the police will take him to the police station."
Father Lin: "You are so confused. You know Jiang is not someone you can easily mess with, so why would you go and mess with her?"
"Lao Lin, A Lei asked us to publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with him, saying he didn't want to implicate us, wuwuwu..."
Father Lin: “…”
Lin Huo was anxious when he heard this. "Mom, what about Big Brother's job? Before this news gets out, let's go find Big Brother and ask the police to make some concessions so he can come with me to complete the handover procedures."
Li Erzhi was very angry. "Your elder brother has become like this, is work all you have in your eyes and heart?"
"I'm worried about my eldest brother, too. But things have become like this. What can I do? Can I still get the police to release him? If I don't hand over my work now, and word gets out about my eldest brother's affairs, will the people at the machinery factory still let us hand over? By then, I'll be out of work and have to go to the countryside. In my eldest brother's situation, he'll either go to jail or be sent to a farm, and there's no way he'll ever come back. In the future, when my eldest brother is gone, if I don't have a job and go to the countryside, who will take care of you in your old age?" What's the point of saying all this nonsense? If he doesn't want to be implicated, after he has handed over his work, he will have to publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with Lin Lei. Since they will have no relationship in the future, if he doesn't get the benefits now, then when will he wait?
When Li Erzhi heard about the issue of future retirement, he stopped talking.
Father Lin closed his eyes sadly. When he opened them again, although there was still heartache in his eyes, he was more determined. "Erzhi, go find the household registration book. Ah Huo and I will go to the hospital to avoid any more trouble. It would be best if we can get the job transfer done today." He only has two sons. One is already disabled, and he cannot let the other one be disabled as well.
Li Erzhi said nothing, turned back to the room, took out the household registration book and handed it to Lin's father.
Lin's father brought Lin Huo to the hospital. The police did not stop them, but only allowed them to talk from a distance.
When Lin Lei saw Lin's father and Lin Huo, he had already guessed what they were talking about, but he didn't say anything.
Father Lin didn’t want to speak first, wanting to wait for Lin Lei to ask first, so the father and son looked at each other for a while, neither of them saying anything.
Lin Huo didn't want to be the first to speak out, he just wanted to reap the benefits, but his father was not helpful, so he had to stand up. "Brother, tomorrow our whole family will go to beg Jiang Shushu, even if we have to kneel down, to beg her to let you go. If it really doesn't work, Dad and I will send you things every month. We will wait for you to come back."
Lin Lei: “…” That’s a nice thing to say, but unfortunately I don’t believe it. If you knew later that I sold my job and signed you up for a rural job, you’d probably want to kill me.
Father Lin echoed, "Alei, we'll wait for you to come back."
Linley remained silent.
Lin Huo: What's wrong with Lin Lei? He's already said this. Shouldn't he offer to transfer his job to me? If he doesn't, how can I afford to take care of him? How can I take care of his parents?
The Lin family, father and son, fell silent again.
Father Lin finally stepped forward and spoke. "Alei, given your current situation, if you don't hurry up and complete the handover procedures, the machinery factory will probably take your job back. Please write me a letter of authorization for the handover, and I'll take Ah Huo with me to get the job done."
"Yes, brother, if it's too late, the work won't be done. Don't worry, I will take good care of my parents. Our family will wait for you to come back. When you come back, you can live with us, and your nephew will be filial to you as his own father." Lin Huo made such a big promise without any guilt.
"Dad, you should go back. I have already sold my job and there is no work left for Lin Huo to take over."
Father Lin's face looked a little grim: "Alei, now is not the time to joke."
"I'm not kidding, I sold it a few days ago for 600 yuan."
Lin Huo got angry all of a sudden, and the noise was so loud that it almost blew the roof off. "Sold it? How could you sell it? You sold your job, what should I do?"
Lin Lei looked at Lin Huo with sarcasm and hatred. "What are you going to do? What does it have to do with me? Even if you die, it's none of my business. You don't deserve my job. I wouldn't give it to a beggar on the street."
Father Lin: "Alei, he is your biological brother..."
"You bastard brother, if that bastard hadn't secretly signed me up for the rural program, leaving me no time to plan carefully, how could I have taken the risk of finding someone to teach Jiang Shushu a lesson, and ended up like this today? My life is ruined, all because of Lin Huo, and he still wants my job? No way? I want to kill him, how could I possibly leave my job to him?"
Father Lin: “…”
Lin Huo was furious. "Lin Lei, you are so cruel. I will remember this. You'd better stay on the farm for the rest of your life and don't come out. I will never send you anything. When you are old, I will see who will take care of you and see you to the end of your life. Don't think that I won't be able to find a job if you don't give me a job. I tell you, I will definitely find a job." Lin Lei sold his job and most of the money must be hidden at home. He has enough money and will definitely be able to buy a job before September.
Lin Lei looked at Lin Huo's expression and knew what he was thinking.
"You want to use the money I earned from selling my job to find a job? Forget it. The money has been taken away by others, and I only have about twenty yuan left for pocket money..." Forget it, let's not talk about going to the countryside. A blunt knife hurts more. If we cut the Gordian knot and say everything, it will be boring.
Lin Huo was frustrated: "..." How did Lin Lei know what I was thinking? I was so angry!
…
In the end, Lin's father and Lin Huo could only leave with a belly full of anger.
Linley watched the father and son walk away, his eyes filled with amusement.
After a few days, one of them found out that he had to go to the countryside, and the other found out that all his private money was gone. The expressions of these two people must have been very interesting.
When Lin Huo returned to the Lin family, he immediately ran to Lin Lei's room and turned his room upside down, but only found 26 pieces.
