"There's no harm in eating more seasonal vegetables, especially cucumbers and tomatoes. After washing them, you can eat them directly or make a cold salad with rice."
Song Lan continued Li Jumei's words, then spoke of Yuan Xiaoya: "Yuan, the educated youth, set fire to the warehouse, clearly intending to kill Song Jiaojiao. She's truly ruthless."
However, on the other hand, if Song Jiaojiao hadn't pushed Yuan Zhiqing so hard, Yuan Zhiqing probably wouldn't have taken that action.
But now that things have turned out this way, neither of them has benefited. If you ask me, what was the point?!
Hearing Song Lan's sigh, Li Jumei said, "Yuan and Yang were sentenced to ten years, but that ingrate only got five. She really got a great deal!"
"It's not that she got a great deal; it's that according to the criminal law, the crime she committed can only be punished with five years."
Song Lan smiled and shook her head, then said, "I originally thought she wasn't very bright, but it turns out she's quite good at instigating things. She managed to get Yuan and Yang, the educated youths, each sentenced to ten years in prison."
"Who says otherwise?! That ingrate is indeed very good at scheming against others, but I just don't understand why she wasn't sentenced to more years when she clearly had connections with human traffickers?"
Li Jumei was filled with doubt.
"Mom, Song Jiaojiao paid Gu Xingchen to get close to Yaxin and then do something bad to Yaxin. If Gu Xingchen really succeeds, she will definitely be sentenced to more years after this is exposed."
In short, the relevant departments made their judgments based on the criminal law regarding the crimes committed by Song Jiaojiao and her accomplices, not on their personal whims regarding the number of years they were sentenced to.
As soon as Song Lan finished speaking, Li Jumei said, "In my opinion, that ingrate is the worst kind of scoundrel!"
Upon hearing this, Song Lan nodded: "I agree with what Mom said on this point."
Although the original story also involved Yuan Xiaoya secretly contacting kidnappers to harm the female educated youth in the village, Song Jiaojiao's actions were undoubtedly the catalyst for Yuan Xiaoya's collaboration with the kidnappers this time.
Do you think the child Yang Zhiqing had with Er Gouzi can still be found?
Li Jumei suddenly asked this question.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Song Lan responded.
"I hope that child was found and taken home by a kind person!"
Li Jumei sighed.
"Maybe a kind person really picked him up and raised him as their own child!"
Song Lan knew about the child's current situation, but she couldn't tell her in front of her elderly mother.
There's no way to explain how she knew.
All I could do was go along with Li Jumei's words to comfort my elderly mother.
Beijing City.
The residential area for employees and their families at the steel plant.
Song Weiqiang and Luo Yueqin have been in a terrible mood lately and feel ashamed wherever they go.
They never imagined they would have a daughter who broke the law and was going to be sent to a labor camp.
Instigating others to commit crimes; using underhanded methods to harm innocent people...
This isn't their daughter at all; she's a devil, deliberately trying to harm the couple and their family!
Even though news of Song Jiaojiao's arrest didn't spread within the steel factory, there's a saying that goes, "A guilty conscience needs no accuser." Therefore, wherever Song Weiqiang and Luo Yueqin went, they felt the strange looks in other people's eyes, as if they were being pointed at and talked about behind their backs.
Before leaving get off work today, Song Weiqiang received a call from the educated youth office, saying that Song Jiaojiao had been sentenced to five years. Almost instantly, he subconsciously looked around, afraid that someone might have overheard something.
When it's time to leave work, I immediately pack my things and go home, worried that people around me will notice something is wrong.
At this moment, not only were Song Weiqiang and his wife sitting quietly in the living room, but Song Chenguang and his wife also sensed that something was wrong when they came home from get off work. They wanted to leave but didn't dare to, so they could only sit on the sofa and wait for Song Weiqiang and his wife to speak.
Song Chenyang stood at the door of his room, his lips pressed tightly together, staring blankly at the living room.
The surrounding air was quiet and oppressive. Song Chenguang finally broke the silence by speaking up and asking Song Weiqiang, "Dad, has Jiaojiao been sentenced?"
"……Um."
Song Weiqiang nodded: "Five years."
Luo Yueqin then spoke up: "I'll publish a statement severing ties in the newspaper, and I'll pretend I never gave birth to her!"
It's both toxic and stupid!
She couldn't possibly have given birth to such a thing!
"I object!"
Song Chenguang's wife, Li Wan, immediately spoke up: "If we publish a notice to sever ties, won't everyone know that we have a convict in our family? I can't afford to lose face like that!"
Her face was grim, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her, as a daughter-in-law, speaking disobeying her mother-in-law.
Seeing that Song Chenguang remained silent, Li Wan pinched his arm hard: "Say something!"
Suppressing the sympathetic feeling coming from his arm, Song Chenguang said to Luo Yueqin, "Mom, I support Xiaowan. If she publishes a notice in the newspaper that she's breaking off her relationship with Jiaojiao, even if people around us don't know the reason, they might still come to us out of curiosity to ask about it."
We all have to go to work and will be living in this house long-term. If word gets out, our whole family will lose face. Being talked about is a small matter compared to what others will say.
"What if our bosses think our family situation has a negative impact? We might both lose our jobs!"
"It's not as mysterious as you make it out to be!"
Song Weiqiang glanced at his eldest son, Song Chenguang, and then his gaze fell on Luo Yueqin: "Let's just publish a statement severing ties, shall we?"
But Song Jiaojiao has had no connection with this family since then, and I hope you all remember this.
If she returns, no one is allowed to set foot in the house!
As he continued speaking, Song Weiqiang became almost furious, his face turning extremely grim.
"Do you think this will be useful?"
Luo Yueqin said, "She's shameless. If she insists on staying at the gate and refuses to leave, are we supposed to just stand there and be laughed at by the neighbors?"
"Mom, although I don't like Song Jiaojiao, she is the daughter of you and Dad, my blood sister, and your and Dad's biological daughter. How can you say such hurtful things?"
