Chapter 13 Brothers and sisters
The four brothers Li Jiren went to the city to look for day laborers. I don’t know if they found any day laborers, but the brothers came back with wounds on their faces!
From the village entrance to the west of the village, passing through the village, I saw a lot of people.

As soon as the group entered the house, Li Yishan rushed over after hearing the news, "What happened? I heard that Jiren and the others were injured?"

When Father Li saw his eldest brother coming, he quickly asked him to take his seat and said, "I don't know yet, I was about to ask!"

When Li Yishan heard this, he quickly looked at Li Jiren and others standing in the main room, "Jiren, tell me quickly, what happened? Were you beaten?"

Li Jiren pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

Li Yishan also knew that the eldest son of his second brother was dull and talkative even when he was young. He quickly looked at Li Jihe and said, "Jihe, tell me!"

Li Jihe couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment on his face. He couldn't tell such an honest man to lie, but to be honest, he was afraid that his father and uncle would be angry!

You told me to do this!
But even if he didn't say it, Jili would know it. When the uncle asked Jili later, the whole story would be clear.

Therefore, Li Jihe just paused and said it truthfully.

Yesterday, the four brothers hurried into the city before dawn. After entering the city, they went straight to Gongzui Alley where they used to find part-time workers.

There is a big stone standing at the entrance of Gongzui Lane. It is said that it has been here for hundreds of years. The stone looks like a pig's mouth, hence the name Gongzui Lane.

The two nostril holes on the stone can accommodate small children. On weekdays, there are many children playing here. There is a big tree next to the stone, and many old people often gather under the tree to talk and relax. Over time, Gongzui Alley became extremely lively.

There are rows of food stalls outside the alley, and people are coming and going. Any news in the city spreads fastest here.

Therefore, when people in the city want to hire someone to do some work, they will come here to take a look. The old man under the tree knows this best.

Li Jihe and Li Jiren first came here to look for day laborers after hearing about this place from Li Jili, who had been in the city for a long time. Over the past few years, they have gained something every time they came.

Yesterday was no exception. Not long after the brothers arrived, they heard the old people talking about how Jia Yuanwai in the east of the city was going to repair their ancestral home.

I heard that the Jia family's ancestral home was very big and needed to be repaired inside and out. It required a lot of work and it had to be repaired before the year. Jia was very generous and paid thirty-two cents a day!
But just don't care about food.

But regardless of food, thirty-two cents a day is pretty good.

They are four brothers, and they can earn a lot after working for a month.

Li Jiren and Li Jihe immediately went to Jia's house to sign up, lest they would be too late and be left behind.

But they didn't want to, but Li Jifu and Li Jigui lingered, either saying they were tired or hungry, and refused to leave.

When Li Jiren saw this, he asked them to rest where they were. He and his second son went over to register their names and talk later.

I don’t know why these words angered Li Jigui, but he then started to act stupid and said: "I won’t go! If you want to go, just tell your names! Don’t count me!"

Li Jifu paused and then answered, "I'm not going either!" Li Jiren was furious and said angrily: "If you don't go, let's see how you can explain to your father when you get home!"

Li Jigui frowned and glared at Li Jiren, "My sister-in-law is a flatterer, do you want to be a accuser? You are not allowed to tell dad when you go back! Just say that you only found two part-time jobs! Anyway, the money you earn is for your son to repair, you We should do what we should do together, so why should we!"

As he said that, he didn't forget to pull Li Jihe, "Second brother, do you think so?"

Li Jihe was extremely embarrassed. The two younger siblings were just arguing with their elder sister-in-law. Why did the third and fourth children also start to quarrel?

"Fourth, what you said is wrong. As a big family, don't we eat or drink? It's the Chinese New Year. Let's earn more money to go back and buy some sweets for the children!"

"How much money do you need to spend on candy? Anyway, we two brothers are not going! Second brother, if you want to go with the eldest brother, you can go! But you are not allowed to complain to dad when you go home!" Li Jifu answered, working hard to repair the house is tiring. It's very strange that this member of the family didn't even get a meal. He could imagine how tired he would be from chewing dry cornbread, drinking cold water and working hard, so he decided without hesitation to listen to his wife's choice.

Anyway, both of them are willing to go all out today. If they don’t do it, they won’t do it!
Li Jiren was so angry as he listened to the third and fourth elders keep saying that they were earning money for his son to study, and he also called his wife a flatterer and didn't take their eldest brother and sister-in-law seriously at all. He came out and gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't go, forget it, but when I go back, I will tell dad everything!"

When Li Jifu heard that he was going to tell his father, he got angry thinking about his father's slap. He was so anxious that he didn't have time to think more, so he pushed Li Jiren and said, "You can't tell dad!"

When Li Jigui saw that the third child had taken advantage of him, he rolled his eyes and rushed forward with his sleeves rolled up.

Things changed so quickly that Li Jihe didn't even react, and the eldest brother and his two younger brothers started fighting together.

"Brother, the third and fourth children! Oops! Stop fighting!" Li Jihe rushed forward to start a fight without thinking.

But both parties were jealous, and he was the only one who started the fight. He couldn't pull it off. In the end, it turned out that he was the one who started the fight, but it was the brothers who suffered the most!

Just tell me whether this is unfair or not!

Then, the four brothers were taken away by the government officials who were patrolling the streets for fighting in the street and disturbing the peace. It was the first time in their lives that they were sent to the county government office. It was a terrible feeling.

When Li Jihe talked about it now, his heart was pounding and his legs were weak. If they hadn't just been brothers fighting, and Li Jili came over to help talk and bribe the yamen chief with money, they would have I may not even be able to come back today.

This day is exciting!
Father Li only listened to his second son talking about what happened. His eyelids jumped up and down when he heard that his third and fourth sons refused to work part-time. Then he heard that several of his sons started fighting in the street and were even beaten by the government officials. He was caught, and the veins on his forehead couldn't be hidden, and he almost felt like he was about to collapse.

Li Yishan was also banging his head, but seeing his brother like this, he was shocked and couldn't care about himself anymore. He quickly supported his brother and said, "Breathe out, breathe out, don't get up, don't get so angry." My own body, ah.”

"Kneel down, everyone!" Father Li took a few deep breaths, his eyes were still dark and tight, and with an angry voice, Li Jiren hurriedly knelt down.

Wu's sisters-in-law who heard the commotion outside the main room also had different thoughts. Their hearts were pounding fiercely, and they hurriedly knelt down and came in.

Looking at his four sons kneeling in front of him, Father Li had more and more thoughts in his mind, and they became more and more confusing. They were intertwined one by one, and their whole brain was buzzing. , and finally, exploded with a bang.

"Brother! Brother! Hurry, call the doctor!"
