Even now, they still want her to take the blame for them.
She taught them, she came up with the idea, and she let them steal other people's things.
How shameless was Bai Xiangru to do such a thing, letting her husband marry a thief and letting her son bear a lifelong stain by having a thief mother.
She, Bai Xiangxu, had many low-class people, and she stole them from her own people.
When she was the poorest, even when she couldn't afford to eat, she never thought of stealing this word.
The Bai family, they are so nice.
"What are you waiting for?"
Father Bai urged Bai Xiangru again, his voice full of impatience. It was already a long time ago, and the prison guards would take him back soon. Bai Xiangru didn't say anything, so he couldn't feel at ease.
The people inside said that if they were caught red-handed with the crime they committed and the other party was determined to prosecute them, they would all be sentenced to at least three years.
Three years! Who knows what he'll be like when he gets out? And he's already been in jail, so how can he hold his head up high?
Bai Xiangru put her hands on the table and looked at her hands. These hands were well-nurtured in the Liu family, as was her body. She struggled at the gate of hell, and it was the people of the Liu family who pulled her back little by little.
Even if she died, she would never hurt her benefactor.
"Dad, you better stay in there. You'll have to get out one day."
"You fart!"
Father Bai shouted and stood up.
As a result, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, pressing him directly onto the table, with his face pressed tightly against it.
He was in so much pain that a drop of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead. He never dared to do it again.
"Xiangru..."
Father Bai's eyes were bloodshot. "Your mother and I are over sixty years old. We don't have many years left to live. No matter what you are like, you are our child. Can you really bear to see your biological parents go to jail?"
Not to mention three years, they can't even stay for a month.
"Why do you think I can save you?"
Bai Xiangru really didn't know where Bai's father got his confidence from. Did he really think they were just playing house? They were thieves, took other people's money, and smashed their things.
"If you want, you can."
Father Bai's eyes were filled with poison. "As long as you admit that you asked us to take those things, and that they belonged to us, even if we were wrong, we've already been in jail for half a year. That's enough."
"Even if I admit it, you can't get out. And I have to go in with you?"
Bai Xiangru is not that stupid, and she can't afford to be stupid.
"Bai Xiangru, you heartless bastard!"
Father Bai gritted his teeth, as if he was going to tear off Bai Xiangru's skin and flesh alive, "You just want us to die, right?"
Bai Xiangru suddenly smiled, but her mouth was filled with bitterness.
"Dad..." She hadn't called him this name for a long time. It was as if she didn't have parents. They treated her like a dog, a cat, and a pig, but never like a daughter.
But now, the father Bai in front of him kept calling his daughter "daughter". How could he be so ridiculous?
"Dad, you can't get out."
Father Bai's face was distorted. If he had not been restricted in this place, he might have strangled Bai Xiangru to death, because his eyes, his face, and his movements had already expressed it without any concealment.
"If all you took away were your property, even if I really lost my reputation, I would still ask someone to save you. I would beg, kneel, and work like a slave for them."
"But they can't make the decision, I can't make the decision, and no one can make the decision."
"Dad, I'm sorry..."
Bai Xiangru stood up. She couldn't face her father, but she couldn't face herself either.
"Bai Xiangru..."
Father Bai kicked the table hard, "Don't leave, come back here!"
Bai Xiangru walked very fast and reached the door in the blink of an eye. She opened the door, paused for a moment, and finally disappeared at the door. Even the ray of light at the door did not fall on her.
How could it be possible that what disappeared was just a ray of light? There was also the light in Father Bai’s heart.
"Bai Xiangru!" Father Bai struggled like crazy, and the two prison guards beside him pressed him tightly, making him feel pain and driving him crazy.
The door opened again, Lei Hao walked in, and then made a gesture to the prison guard, who then let go of Mr. Bai. Mr. Bai sat dejectedly on the chair, looking like he had aged a dozen years.
He was breathing heavily, his cloudy eyes staring at Lei Hao.
"Let Bai Xiangru come back, let her come back. She was the one who made us do this. Everything is her fault. We are not guilty. You can't lock us up, and we can't go to jail."
Lei Hao took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He put the pipe to his mouth and then gently exhaled a puff of smoke.
"You know whether it was you who did it. We know it too. We caught you red-handed, right? If you don't confess, how can we get the others to tell us?"
"You don't even know what your own son is like. You're blaming your daughter for everything, but your son is blaming you. Your whole family is spineless. No matter how much you say, the evidence will only make it impossible for you to turn around."
Lei Hao exhaled another puff of smoke, then took something out of his pocket and placed it on the table. "Your verdict has come down."
"Stolen valuables caused great harm to others and resulted in a seven-year sentence."
Father Bai's lips trembled.
His vision blurred, and all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away in an instant. He looked at the stamped judgment like an idiot.
Seven years, seven years. How could it be seven years? After seven years, he would be seventy years old, and he didn’t even know if he could survive these seven years.
"Let her come to see me!"
Father Bai was shaking, but he still wanted to see Bai Xiangru.
"I told you, she can't save you."
Lei Hao stubbed out the half-smoked cigarette in his hand. "The document you took is confidential. If the last document hadn't been found, your sentence would have been even heavier."
"Don't look for her. She really can't be saved. You didn't offend her, you offended the person who needed the document."
Lei Hao has said all he needs to say. He has said everything he needs to say, so just give up and reform yourself. Maybe you will be able to get out in less than seven years.
The prison guard took Bai's father away. When Bai's father came in, he walked in. When he went back, he was dragged out by two prison guards.
Really, the whole family is spineless.
Lei Hao put his hand on his chest again, wanting to take out a cigarette, but found that there was no cigarette.
Forget it, he turned around and walked outside. When he came out, the weather, which had been cloudy for several days, seemed to be clearing up.
