After returning home, Mo Yan started working and didn't pay any more attention to the matter.
A few days later, court staff said the trial would be held in the village.
Mo Yan took leave and went along. Mo Yan took out the letter and the evidence.
Mo Yan didn't open the other letters, feeling it was unnecessary.
It's obvious what's inside: a lot of longing for his daughter and feeling sorry for her.
Or it could be a story of longing and making grand promises to the original owner, which might be well-written and full of deep affection.
The reason I didn't send it out...
Ha, isn't it true that only wanting to send something but not sending it is a sign of deep affection?
I sent it; I was touched at the time, but after that, it was just another memory.
I wrote it, but I can't send it. I don't want my daughter to miss them too much. I hope she forgets them. Isn't that true family love?
That's life.
Once you see through some things, they just seem meaningless.
Some things are hard to see clearly, so they just cling to those illusory little thoughts.
In the end, they were like moths drawn to a flame, driven by that last glimmer of hope.
Actually, all she wanted was a little something to hold onto, right?
They just wouldn't give it to her, until she came back.
We're just waiting for her to come back.
If they don't come back, they'll receive a pension; if they do come back, they'll receive various forms of retirement benefits, housing, and so on.
Anyway, it's just a little pen usage, so it's not a loss.
This was a scheme that only the original owner's father, who had been a scholar, could have come up with.
This is not killing a person, but attacking their spirit.
So, what are we looking at?
Do you want to make the original owner suffer again?
No need.
It was around this time that Mo Fang was released. He had had a terrible few days, sending messages to his son to come see him, but he hadn't received a single word.
As soon as I came out, I was greeted by the staff.
"Hello, we are court staff. Regarding your case of misappropriating other people's property, we will begin the first mediation today, with the court hearing to be held in your beloved son's village." [In this era, court hearings are sometimes held in rural areas, also called "opening a large meeting." It's also a way to promote the law.]
Mo Fang was somewhat bewildered, clearly not understanding the situation. "The court?"
This was something he never expected.
The villagers were stunned when they received the notice. They were honest, law-abiding people who were terrified of going to the police station every year. Why were people from the court coming now? Could it be that something terrible had happened in their village, murder or arson, and they didn't know about it?
Seeing everyone's fearful and tense expressions, the village chief understood the reason for their fear and began to explain.
"It's not that only murder and arson require going to court, as people think. As long as someone is injured or their interests are harmed, and as long as the law is violated, the court will accept the case."
Those things that everyone thinks are trivial, things that everyone thinks are just petty theft, are actually illegal. Even assault and verbal abuse are violations of other people's rights, and everyone must be held accountable for their actions.
To put it simply, at that time, due to the lack of information, many people did not have much understanding of the law.
This is also a form of publicity. [If you don't understand, this is fictional, created by the author.]
After the village chief explained, they understood.
"Does that mean that no matter how big or small the matter is, we can go to court if our rights are violated?"
"That's right, you can file a lawsuit. Once the court accepts the case, it will be heard in court. Oh, I can't explain it clearly, but you'll find out in a bit. Before the trial, they will give you some publicity. Listen carefully and watch carefully. Those of you who like to hit people, take a good look at yourselves. Don't think no one can control you."
