Chapter 200 The sentence of Wang Mingfang and her son has been issued
After making the phone call, Xia Qingxi asked someone to move her sewing machine to mail it. Because she had mailed something there last time, Xia Qingxi knew the address of the garrison.
After mailing the sewing machine, Xia Qingxi took her ID and went to the neighborhood committee to get a letter of introduction to accompany the army. She then went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a handbag to carry her luggage on the road.
After doing all this, she originally wanted to go home, but she thought about not buying wedding gifts for Mai Miao and Xiao Wu, so she went to the furniture market after thinking about it.
After shopping for a long time, she finally decided on a wedding gift for Mai Miao and Xiao Wu - a high-quality mahogany box.
In this era, wedding furniture is a valuable item, and basically only the bride's family will give it as a gift. As a friend, it is usually enough to give pillowcases, quilt covers and gifts.
When Mai Miao saw Xia Qingxi asked someone to send the box to her home, she was surprised and moved. Qingxi defined her as her own family. How could she not be moved by such affection?
When Mai Miao heard Xia Qingxi say that she would be leaving in two days, she felt very reluctant to let her go and started crying while hugging Xia Qingxi:
"Qingxi, I'm so reluctant to see you go. If you leave, when can we see each other again?"
Xia Qingxi was much more rational than Mai Miao. She comforted her and joked with her:
"The bride-to-be must not cry. If you cry, it will rain heavily on the wedding day. The harder you cry, the heavier it will rain. The road will be flooded, and how can Xiao Wu come to pick you up?"
"Really?" Mai Miao stopped crying immediately, squinted her small eyes, looked at Xia Qingxi with a worried look on her face, and it was obvious that she really believed it.
Seeing her innocent and deceitful look, Xia Qingxi couldn't help but want to laugh:
"Of course..." At this point, she changed the subject: "I was lying to you."
"You..." Mai Miao knew that he had been fooled, raised his hand and patted Xia Qingxi lightly twice, and then he also laughed.
Just as the two were laughing, Wu Xiaodong's voice suddenly rang out from outside the yard:
"Sister Qingxi, Sister Qingxi..." The voice was hurried but with a sense of joy.
The two looked outside at the same time, and saw Wu Xiaodong running over breathlessly. He looked at the two people and said excitedly:
"Sister Qingxi, Lu Lidong and Wang Mingfang have been sentenced."
Wu Xiaodong had just received the news, and he ran to Xia Qingxi's house to inform her. When he arrived at the yard, he found that no one was there. He heard the aunt next to him say that Xia Qingxi had come to Sister Mai Miao's house, so he ran over immediately.
"Where did you get the news?" Xia Qingxi asked.
She didn't expect the sentence to be so fast. In the real world, the sentence needs the first trial, the second trial, and the final trial. It takes at least several months to a year to make a decision.
"The sentencing posters are out and posted on the bulletin board. I saw them when I passed by just now." Wu Xiaodong explained.
"Have they both been sentenced? How long?" Mai Miao heard the news with undisguised joy on her face.
Wang Mingfang and her son had done so many evil things and used such vicious and dirty means to frame Qingxiong. Now they have been sentenced, and she has no sympathy for them. She just feels that they deserve it.
"Lu Lidong was sentenced to life imprisonment, and Wang Mingfang was sentenced to eighteen years." Wu Xiaodong replied, his tone full of relief and joy, and there was no sympathy for them at all.
"So long!" Mai Miao couldn't help but sigh.
Xia Qingliu knew that the punishments for bad people in this era were very severe. She once saw a news report: a woman had six or seven boyfriends at the same time, and was sentenced to death.
Although their sentences were indeed heavier, Wang Mingfang and Lu Lidong were so evil that they would only harm others after they were released from prison, so staying in prison for labor reform was their best fate.
Xia Qingliu suddenly thought of something, looked at Wu Xiaodong and asked:
"Isn't there Liao Qiang? Hasn't he been sentenced yet?"
"Yes, yes, he should be sentenced too." After Xia Qingliu's reminder, Mai Miao also remembered and asked.
"He was sentenced, about the same as Wang Mingfang, twenty years." Wu Xiaodong replied.
Xia Qingqing felt relieved. A lecher like Liao Qiang, who had some power in his hands, would only use it to the fullest. If he continued to stay in the factory, he would only bully more female comrades.
"The verdict is good." Mai Miao said, and suddenly felt unwilling:
"It's really a bargain for He Shanshan. She is the only one who was not punished." After saying that, he seemed to remember something and looked at Xia Qingqing:
"But I heard that she has not had a good life since she returned to the He family. Someone saw her and her cousin quarreling on the street two days ago."
"Humph, quarreling is nothing. Yesterday she was blocked by three people and beaten up severely." Wu Xiaodong snorted, with a taste of gloating.
"What's going on?" Mai Miao asked curiously.
"It was Liao Qiang's parents and the child bride who thought He Shanshan had harmed Liao Qiang, so they went to the house and beat her up severely." Wu Xiaodong said,
"This matter has spread throughout the factory."
Xia Qingliu was thoughtful after hearing this. The child bride Liao Qiang described in the book was very fierce. Not only was she big and strong, but her character was also very ignorant and devoted to her husband.
After the original character in the book lost her virginity and became pregnant, she went to the army and gave birth to a mentally retarded child. The male protagonist did not know the child's background. Wang Mingfang asked her niece to go to the army to seduce Lu Jingzhen under the pretext of helping to take care of the child. Naturally, she would not tell the secret of the child's background before she succeeded.
As a result, the heroine in the book, Mo Xiaoxiao, heard the truth "accidentally" and quietly informed Liao Qiang's adopted bride. At that time, Liao Qiang's adopted bride's child had just died in an accident. In order to leave an offspring for the Liao family, the adopted bride came all the way to the army to snatch the original body's child and said that the child was the seed of their Liao family. After the matter was exposed, the original body chose to commit suicide, and the heroine also succeeded.
If the fate of the original body was transferred to He Shanshan, if He Shanshan was pregnant, she would most likely find someone to take over, and then she would be the one who gave birth to a mentally retarded child.
"Qingxi, let's go and take a look." At this time, Mai Miao said to Xia Qingxi.
Xia Qingxi's thoughts were pulled back by Mai Miao's question, and she asked in confusion:
"What are you looking at?"
"I'm looking at the notice. Didn't you hear what I said just now?" Mai Miao looked at Xia Qingxi in confusion, then suddenly laughed and asked:
"Qingxi, are you missing Brother Qie too much? You look distracted."
Xia Qingxi naturally would not tell her that she was thinking about Liao Qiang's adopted daughter-in-law and He Shanshan. She took Mai Miao's arm and said,
"Let's go and take a look."
Then the three of them walked towards the bulletin board.

Xia Qingxi took the train to the army on the third day. Before leaving, Lu Jingxie called again and told her that her train would arrive at Yincheng Station on the afternoon of the third day after changing stations. He would pick her up at the exit and told her not to go with strangers.
When he hung up the phone, he emphasized to her again the safety precautions on the road, as if he was afraid that she would get lost.
At 7:36 in the morning, the train to the army started on time.
