Mr. He was so angry. That was a permanent job at the steel factory, and just like that, it was gone.
And with something like this happening, how could he face people in the future?
Whatâs more, their eldest son is also working at the factory and would be implicated and ridiculed by others.
Trying to scheme against his own younger brother and ending up involving himself was one thing, but also harming his own older brotherâhow could he not be beaten?
Originally, He Jian Country was already in a bad mood and had been drinking heavily. After being beaten up like that, he got agitated and tried to grab the broom from Mr. He. In the chaos, he ended up pushing Mr. He over.
He fell right where the steps were, and unfortunately, the old manâs back of the head hit the edge of the step. Gao Yumei, who had rushed over to help her man, suddenly screamed.
It was only then that Sister He noticed the blood flowing down the steps: "Xudong, quickly find someone to help, hurry, your grandfather is hurt."
Mother He was shocked. She wasnât very brave, and it took her a while to react: "Old man, are you okay? Donât scare me."
Seeing her husbandâs face looking quite bad, she finally exploded for once: "Jian Country, you damn scoundrel, hurry up and get your dad to the hospital."
At this point, He Jian Country had sobered up a bit, but having drunk alcohol, he couldnât become sober right away. His head was dizzy, and although he knew he was in trouble, he didnât have much strength. He just bent down, and before he could exert any strength, he started swaying.
Sister He, seeing this, dared not let him help: "Second Sister-in-law, you quickly pull the second brother aside, donât let him make things worse here."
Gao Yumei was so scared that she didnât dare say another word. She pulled He Jian Country aside with all her might, trembling as she watched the blood on the ground increase.
The neighbors, hearing the commotion, quickly came to help. Some pushed a cart, some helped carry people, and everyone hurriedly sent the person to the hospital.
The old man was quite lucky and narrowly escaped with his life, but due to excessive blood loss, he didnât wake up for a long time. The doctors said that because of the impact on the head, there was a bit of a concussion, and when he wakes up, he might experience dizziness and vomiting.
The eldest of the He family, He Jiefang, after learning what the second son did, angrily beat up the not-yet-sober He Jian Country. His expression was truly frightening, and even Gao Yumei was too scared to stop him.
If it werenât for the fifth brother, He Yuejin, rushing over, it might have really ended badly. As it was, He Jian Country probably wouldnât be able to leave the house for at least ten days to half a month.
Mr. He woke up in the middle of the night, and just as the doctor said, it was indeed a concussion, with dizziness, nausea, and vomiting, scaring the family out of their wits.

And all of this, He Jinxuan and Xinyan had absolutely no idea about.
Shortly after the two got on the train, it became lunchtime. Many people in the carriage were eating, but few bought meals onboard; most had brought their own food.
Xinyan was about to ask He Jinxuan if he wanted something to eat when she heard a childâs voice from the seat behind her: "Grandma, Iâm hungry."
Then an elderly voice replied: "Tiger, just hold on a bit longer. Once we get off the train and reach your dad, there will be food."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Xinyan heard the stomachs of both the grandmother and grandson growling in unison.
At this point, a middle-aged woman sitting opposite them frowned and looked at them: "Really annoying. If youâre hungry, just buy some food. Why pretend to be pitiful here?"
The old woman, somewhat embarrassed, said: "Sorry, we didnât mean to bother you."
