Chapter 18： : Hardy's brothers

A farm in Burbank.

Hardy’s car parked outside, a farmer came out to check, looked at Hardy and Richard.

"Who are you looking for?"

"We are Henry's friends, we have contacted him by phone before." Hardy said.

The farmer nodded,

"I will take you over to find him."

The three of them walked into the bullpen. Henry was wearing jeans and heavy rain boots, struggling to cross the cow dung. Hearing the shout, he turned his head and saw Hardy and Richard. He threw away his fork happily.

"Hadi, Richard."

Henry ran over and gave Hardy a hug, then Richard.

"It's great to see you."

Hardy smiled and said, "How about it, come with me now."

Snap~!

Henry hit and stood at attention.

"Report to monitor Hardy, Henry is back!"

Henry greeted the boss, packed his salute, threw the backpack into the car and ran into the car, waving goodbye to the rancher.

"Old Logan, I'm going to Los Angeles."

The rancher waved his hand, "Then I wish you success Henry, you are so young."

on the way,

Hardy asked Henry, "Do you know where the madman is? I didn't reach him on the phone?"

Henry smiled helplessly, "The lunatic is now in prison."

Madman's real name is Matthew Settle, because that guy fights hard and fights as fiercely as mad, so his comrades nicknamed him a madman.

Hardy was taken aback, "What's the matter?"

"Injured, he became a transport driver after he came back. We have seen it a few times. Two months ago, he had a conflict with another truck driver in a restaurant. You know that the lunatic fights desperately. ."

"Originally, he could be released on bail, but he had no money to stay in jail, and no money for compensation. Then I am afraid he will be sentenced to one or two years in prison."

"How much bail do you want?" Hardy asked.

"2000 dollars."

Two thousand dollars is equivalent to 10 months' salary of ordinary people. It is definitely not a small amount of money for ordinary people. Moreover, Americans generally do not have the habit of saving. To be honest, there is no money to save, so Matthew can't get this money at all. Come out, you can only stay in jail.

"Which prison?"

"San Marinos Prison."

Hardy hit the steering wheel and drove towards the San Marino prison. A few hours later, the three met Matthew in the visiting room.

Matthew was surprised to see the three of them, "Boss Hardy, Henry, Richard, why are you guys together? Why do you think of looking at me again."

Hardy stuffed the guard 10 dollars, and the guard turned his head.

Hardy threw a cigarette to Matthew, and Matthew immediately lit it and took two puffs, puffing out smoke as if he was enjoying it.

"How was your time inside? Have you been bullied?" Hardy asked with a smile.

Matthew laughed and said with some pride: "When I first came, there were indeed a few guys who wanted to bully me as a newcomer, but they were all beaten down by me. After that, no one dared to mess with me. Now I am here. Eat well and sleep well, and there are a group of little brothers who lived very well."

Hardy smiled and nodded.

"I originally wanted to bail you out, but now it doesn't seem to be necessary."

Matthew's expression changed when he heard that he grabbed Hardy's hand and said eagerly, "Boss, do you have the money to bail me? Then get me out quickly."

"Didn't you live well here?" Henry smiled.

"That's not as comfortable as outside." Matthew said.

The three of them got out of the prison, and Hardy took out two thousand dollars from him and handed it to Henry, "You are responsible for bailing Matthew, and I have to find someone."

"Don't worry, boss, three days to make sure to get the madman out."

Matthew's case is very simple, and it is not a big one. If you have money, it is easy to be released on bail.

"Who shall we look for next?" Richard asked.

"Cannonball."

The cannonball that Hardy said was also a brother of their previous company. His full name is Neil MacDonald. He is best at using all kinds of mines. Detonators, grenades, landmines, and time bombs are all very slippery. He is an expert in blasting. Everyone named him Cannonball.

According to the address, they found Neil's home. The two knocked on the door. Neil opened the door and saw Hardy and Richard both very surprised. He hugged his two former brothers hard.

walked into the house,

The furnishings in the room are very old.

A woman came out, looking young and not ugly, but her face was a little pale.

"This is my wife Jenny." Neal introduced.

Jenny said hello to Hardy and Richard, "Neil, your friend is here, I'm going to make coffee, cough cough cough."

just said a word and coughed vigorously.

"No, you can go to bed to rest, I can do it myself." Neal hurriedly helped his wife.

Not long after Neil came out with two cups of coffee and put them in front of Hardy and Richard. Hardy asked, "What disease did your wife have?"

"Pulmonary tuberculosis, a lung disease."

Hardy was shocked, tuberculosis is now a life-threatening illness.

"Is there no treatment?"

Neil lowered his head, "I have seen it. The doctor said that he needs a drug called penicillin, but that drug is very expensive, and I can't afford it after only a few uses."

Penicillin was officially put into production in 1942. Because of its magical effect, penicillin is now more expensive than gold, and it is indeed not affordable for ordinary people.

Even for later generations, there are a lot of medicines worth tens of thousands of dollars per injection, which can bring down a family.

Hardy thought for a while and said, "Neil, you know what I'm here for."

"Of course, Boss Hardy, I really want to do it with you, but I still have to take care of Jenny, I'm afraid I can't help you." Neil whispered.

"But it's not a way to drag the condition without treatment like this?" Hardy said.

"I can't help it either." Neal was very upset, angry that he was incapable.

Hardy thought for a while and said, "Neil, I have an idea. Jenny will take her to Los Angeles and find a hospital for her to receive formal treatment. How about the money and how about a solution together?"

Neil lowered his head and thought for a while, feeling that this is the best way to save Jenny, and immediately made up his mind, "Okay, go to Los Angeles."

immediately packed up and drove to Los Angeles on the same day.

Hardy sent Jenny directly to Murphy Clinic. After seeing Dr. Murphy, he said that Jenny is not the most serious condition, and the use of penicillin has a high chance of being cured, but the cost is very high. They need to be mentally prepared in advance.

"We will find a way for money matters, and ask Dr. Murphy to do our best to treat it." Hardy said.

Doctor Murphy left, and a nurse came over soon, "Mr. Hardy, please pay a $1,000 treatment deposit first."

To be honest, Hardy has no money now.

The money from the killing of Cook and the money earned from the wine delivery this month totaled only more than two thousand dollars. Before bailing madman Matthew, he took out two thousand dollars, and now he has only more than three hundred dollars in his pocket.

Hardy thought for a while, said to Neil to leave, and came back about an hour later, handing in the deposit for Neal’s wife for treatment.

What Neil discovered.

"Hadi, where's your gold watch?"

Hardy smiled, "Watches are just decorations, temporarily find a place to store them, UU reading is all right, now there is no need to worry about the cost of medicine."

Neil couldn't be moved.

But he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

brother,

No need to talk nonsense.

He remembered it in his heart.

Settling down with his wife, Neil felt like he had moved away from his heart and looked at Hardy and said, "Boss Hardy, what's next?"

Hardy smiled lightly and patted Neil on the shoulder, "Don’t worry, wait a day or two for Henry and the lunatic to come over. I’ll take you and Richard to see someone who is also in this hospital."

"Who?"

"Bill."

When the three opened the door, they found that Bill was leaning against the bedside, and a beautiful nurse was feeding him fruit. The **** was really moisturizing.

When Bill saw someone coming, he cheered immediately.

"Richard, cannonball, why are you here."

The three sat down and recounted the past. Hardy said: "I have found Richard and Cannonball. Henry and Matthew will come in three days. I am looking for two people, two friends I knew when I was injured, one named Li O, the other is named Kerry, who is also from the Marines, but they are not the same company as us, they live near Los Angeles, they have already called them, and they will come tomorrow."

"When we gather together, we don't have to be afraid of sneak attacks by those Irish bastards."

Bill immediately flattered Hardy.

"As expected to be the boss of Hardy, so many brothers have been found in such a short time, we brothers are reunited, we must get rid of those guys."

Hardy looked at Bill.

"You get better soon, don't wait for us to finish the work when you leave the hospital."

Bill chuckled, "It must be done as soon as possible, and fight side by side with the brothers."
