Chapter 393
Zhao Xiangmei was silent as Old Man Zhao and Zhao Chuanjia split up.
All the adults in Zhao Chuande's family, including his two daughters-in-law, were staying in the house. There were only two little kids left at home. They really had nowhere to go except here.
But... forget it, let’s not think about it for now, let’s just listen to what he has to say.
The three of them followed Zhao Jianjun to Old Zhao's house. As soon as they entered the house, the noisy room suddenly became quiet.
You could hear a pin drop, it was eerily quiet.
It was my second aunt Zhao Xianglan who couldn't help but speak first, snorting coldly:
"Such a big thing happened. If the police hadn't come to arrest me yesterday, I would still be in the dark!
I have brought shame to my third brother's family.
I was saying, I heard that my third brother was sick, so I wanted to go to the hospital to check it out.
The two young wives tried to block the way and said it was okay and nothing serious.
It turned out that he had done something shameful.
Good boy, you thought of me yesterday.
After leaving the two children at my house, I asked them what they were going to do, but they hesitated and didn't explain clearly.
She said she wanted to go back to her parents' home first and asked me to help look after her for a while.
I was wondering why we went back to my parents' home together.
Well, as soon as I reached the village entrance, I was caught by the police in the scot-free hat. It turned out that I had committed a crime!
In less than an hour, the entire Shilazi brigade knew that my third brother, Zhao Xianglan, and his family were colluding with spies!
This was so embarrassing that I almost wanted to crawl into the ground."
Perhaps because she was holding it in too much, Zhao Xianglan spoke a long string of words without even taking a breath.
I was halfway through my speech when tears started to flow and I couldn't stop them.
She wiped her nose hard with her sleeve.
She continued crying, "Fortunately, my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law are all nice people and didn't say anything.
If this happened to someone else, I would be crushed to death!
Where on earth did Zhao Chuande get the ability to get involved with spies, huh?
He must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!"
Zhao Xianglan racked her brains but still couldn't figure out such a mysterious thing.
It actually happened in their home.
It's really devastating.
Even though Chu Xun and others cleaned up the bloodstains at the village entrance, spots could still be vaguely seen on the ground.
They were scared just thinking about it, and their hearts were pounding wildly.
Especially Zhao Xiangju's family, her home is in the west of the village, right next to the main road at the entrance of the village.
The gunshots were so clear that the whole family was frightened and had nightmares for two days.
It was only later that she found out that there was also the matter of Zhao Chuande. Zhao Xiangju still looks a little frightened when she thinks about it now.
Zhao Xiangzhi lives in the commune and just found out about this today.
I was shocked, my mind was still a mess, and I didn't want to stay any longer, so I asked:
"Dad, you called us all back, is there something wrong?"
"Anyway, let me make it clear in advance that I won't be taking care of those two kids. As the old saying goes.
A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's child will dig holes. From top to bottom, the Zhao Chuande family is completely black.
Plotting against one's own family members to death.
Hearing about this horrific method makes my scalp tingle and I want to stay away from it.
My children don’t have Xiaoyi’s cleverness. If one of them is not good enough, it will bring harm to us.”
Zhao Xiangmei sneered and continued, "That's exactly the truth.
Anyone who happens to this will feel a chill running from the soles of their feet all the way up to the top of their head.
When I found out, if my two children hadn't been in my arms, I would have wanted to take a knife and chop up those worse-than-pigs-and-dogs.
The thought that Xiaoyi might be captured by spies, tortured, and subjected to all kinds of inhuman torture made me feel very uncomfortable.
My heart felt like it was being dug out and it hurt so much.
In short, I will no longer recognize Zhao Chuande's family."
In the past two days, she slept with her daughter, but she still couldn't sleep well and always woke up. Only when she held her daughter tightly in her arms could she feel at ease.
She stared at the child closely during the day and was reluctant to let him out of her sight.
The moment she turned around and couldn't see her child, she was about to collapse.
Even Chen Qingfeng was detained at home by her and was not allowed to go anywhere. Fortunately, Chu Xun was there.
Zhao Xiangmei felt much more at ease.
Old man Zhao puffed on his pipe, his brows furrowed, his face full of sorrow, as if he had aged at least ten years.
Old Mrs. Zhao also had red and swollen eyelids, and it seemed that she had cried a lot in the past two days.
Seeing that the old couple had been silent, Li Chunfen pulled the corner of Zhao Chuanjia's clothes, signaling him to speak.
Head Zhao Chuan's father sighed and raised his eyes, "Dad, Mom, what are your plans?
I asked people about it.
It is said... Zhao Chuande will definitely be sentenced to the longest time because he was the one who contacted the spies.
Xu Chunzhi was not short either. The idea of pretending to be hospitalized was hers.
Zhao Jianwei and Zhao Xihai's minimum sentence is five years. As for their wives...
Even if I come out early, can I keep it there?
Even if I remarry, I can’t have these two children. If I raise them, the minimum is five years.”
Five years is the most conservative.
How can you raise a child when you're just out and don't have anything? What if the two of you don't get along and leave the child here forever?
Also, whether you can get out of the fence with all your hands and feet intact is another matter.
This was a big change. Raising two boys was not just about feeding two people. These days, no family was well off.
What they are more afraid of is that they will not be able to raise good children and will end up raising two ungrateful people.
Old man Zhao drooped his eyelids, took a few puffs from his pipe, and then he spoke:
"Chuanwen, what about you? What do you think?"
Zhao Chuanwen was very straightforward, "I don't care about his family's affairs."
The room was quiet again, and Old Lady Zhao sobbed softly, "Chuan De was wrong about this, and he deserves to die.
But if we don’t raise these two children, who else can take care of them?
The child's grandmother and her family didn't even show up.
Can't we just watch these little kids die?"
Old Mrs. Zhao was also feeling miserable, so the old man discussed with her about dividing the family property, so that the two of them could raise their two children on their own.
Don’t drag down the boss’s family.
Let the children pay their pension normally, and then they can work harder.
But at their age...
"Alright, you guys can discuss it slowly. The three of us won't get involved. Whether he lives or dies, it has nothing to do with us."
Zhao Xiangmei slowly stood up from the stool with an indifferent expression and left with her two children.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and said, "Li Chengping has gone to the labor camp again.
When Liang Xiatian gets better in a few days, she will go too, bringing the child with her. She heard that children can be raised in labor camps."
Everyone: ...? !
Almost a week later, the verdict came out. Li Chengping was sentenced to an additional year for evading labor reform by improper means, and Liang Xiatian was sentenced to six years for multiple crimes.
Wu Youde, five years, Wu Yourong, one year.
Zhao Chuande, the person the Zhao family cares about the most, has been in prison for eight years, Xu Chunzhi has been in prison for six years, Zhao Jianwei and Zhao Xihai have been in prison for five years, and their wives have been in prison for two years.
A group of people went to the farm in Qinghai.
I heard you can see the Gobi Desert!
It was the largest labor camp. As for the children, Old Man Zhao couldn't bear to leave them behind.
After separating from Zhao Chuanjia, the old couple lived with their two children.
Zhao Chuanjia and Zhao Chuanwen give 20 yuan a year as pension.
Five kilograms of fine grains and fifty kilograms of coarse grains. In addition, the two children are registered in Shilazi, and they will also receive per capita rations at the end of the year.
Zhao Chuande's story finally spread throughout the pigpen.
Old Mrs. Chen unilaterally ignored Old Mrs. Zhao.
Can I bring the kids?
