The other day, the People's Court of Yueqing in Wenzhou sentenced this pair of real brothers for robbery (unsuccessful) to 1 year and a half of fixed-term imprisonment respectively, fining them 2000 yuan. Wu Li just kept his head down all the time and was very silent. These two brothers found jobs in a galvanizing factory in Yueqing, earning more than 2000 yuan each per month. With such an income, after deducting basic living expenses, they remitted the remaining money to their mother for buying medicine. The woman got up and while shouting "robbery" chased after them from behind. Mr Wu, a citizen, happened to be passing by, and chased after them. Nearby residents also came to help. The two men committing the robbery were subsequently captured. The court reduced the punishment. They shouldn't have thought of robbery. In order to reduce the burden on the family, Wu Qiang started working in Yueqing as soon as he graduated from high school; Wu Li dropped out of school right after he graduated from junior middle school, and went out to work with his elder brother. In the trial on February 7, Wu Qiang stood at the center of the courtroom and said regretfully: "I am very regretful about my own behavior. Today in the courtroom I sincerely pray for the victim's understanding. I hope that the judge will deal with me leniently so that I can go out early to take care of my mom."

They thought about working hard to earn money, but ultimately there was no way to ease the "economic crisis". A year ago, their mother Ms Wu was diagnosed with having a brain tumor, which was undoubtedly adding frost on snow. Because of their mother's illness, the family spent all their few ten thousand yuan of savings, and also owed quite a bit of debt outside. During the review and prosecution phase, Wu Qiang told the prosecutor in charge: "Our brother and I are both locked up. What should we do about our mother? I want to protect my younger brother and let him go out to earn money to treat my mom." Wu Qiang said that he deeply regrets not firmly stopping his younger brother at the time, instead going up to help him, causing lifelong regret. He feels that he hasn't been a good elder brother, and wants to take on the blame alone. At the police station, the two men quickly confessed their identities. They are a pair of real brothers from Hubei who have worked in Yueqing for many years. The elder brother is Wu Qiang, aged 23; the younger brother is Wu Li, aged 21. The handbag they snatched contained 225 yuan in cash and a bank card. Wu Li said that they even went to the hospital to ask if they could "sell blood" for money, but hearing that it is now voluntary blood donation, they abandoned this idea. Originally, four or five years ago, their mother was diagnosed with suffering from neuralgia of the brain, spending more than 10,000 yuan every year on medication. The two brothers together snatched the bag and were caught. That night when the case occurred, the two brothers were walking on the road when they saw a single woman carrying a handbag. Wu Li suddenly suggested to his elder brother, "Let's snatch some money for mom." A few minutes earlier, this single woman had been followed by two strange men. Just as she walked into the alley, a hand reached out from behind her and covered her mouth, while another hand strangled her neck. At this point, another man ran over from behind and snatched the handbag she was carrying. After succeeding, the two robbers forcefully pushed down this woman and turned around to run away. "Someone is snatching a bag, quick chase!" On the evening of October 13 last year at eleven o'clock, a shrill scream suddenly rang out from an alley near Xinshi Street in Heping Town, Yueqing. When the policemen asked them why they robbed, their answer was unexpected. As Wu Qiang hesitated, Wu Li had already rushed forward and covered the woman's mouth. Wu Qiang was stunned for a moment. He didn't want his younger brother to be caught, so he went forward to help, and then fled together. The People's Court of Yueqing City considered after reviewing that the actions of Wu Qiang and Wu Li had constituted the crime of robbery. Considering that the robbery was unsuccessful, according to law the punishment was mitigated; they truthfully confessed their crimes, and according to law received a lighter punishment. The court thus made the above judgment. (The parties involved in the text are pseudonyms) Due to being suspected of the crime of robbery, the People's Procuratorate of Yueqing City legally brought public prosecution against the two brothers.
