Why does curly not get Lennie fired for crushing his hand?

Because Curley feels self-concious about his height and his wife so he wanted to pick a fight with someone who was very big (which made him look powerful) but was also a bit stupid and would more than likely be obedient to being hit by the boss's son. So he obviously chose Lennie, but George wanted to protect Lennie without getting in the fight and he could see that Lennie was being more emotionally hurt than physically hurt by Curley because Lennie couldn't understand why he was picking a fight with him so George insisted that Lennie fought back. So when Lennie did fight back (he obviously doesn't know his own strength) fought back, but by accident he crushed Curley's hand in the process.
