Chapter 126 The Real Reason She Judged Grandma as the Winner
In fact, in recent years, Qin Jiahuai often came to Yuncheng Women's Prison to visit Yi Congfan.
He told her clearly that his wife Chu Yao had always regarded her as her spiritual support and hoped that she could stand up again.
She also said that when she was released from prison, she would bring Chu Yao to pick her up, hoping that she could tell Chu Yao in person what had happened over the years.
Yi Congfan just thought it was funny at the time.
What spiritual support is there?
So boastful, so naive.
She decided then and there that when she got out, she would give these two naive young people a severe blow.
But when she saw Chu Yao today, she recognized her at a glance. She was the little girl who shouted to her "Thank you for letting me know that there is justice in the world" after the verdict.
She suddenly felt ashamed and couldn't say anything hurtful.
At this moment, Yi Congfan had eaten several bowls of crab roe noodles in a row.
Chu Yao and Qin Jiahuai sat opposite her, waiting quietly.
When she finally put down her chopsticks, Chu Yao slowly asked, "Ms. Yi...Ms. Yi, may I know what happened to you?"
Yi Congfan didn't answer, but instead asked them: "Can you take me to another place?"
They both agreed.
Half an hour later, the car stopped outside a small yard.
There was a wooden sign hanging on the gate of the courtyard.
It says: Shelter for Special Children.
Yi Congfan didn't go in. He stood outside the iron fence and pointed at the child in the corner of the yard: "He is my son."
The child looked about six or seven years old, looked like a normal child, and was playing with sand.
While playing, he suddenly kicked over the sand pile and started screaming!
The nurse came over immediately and took the child to the room to comfort him.
Yi Congfan's eyes were filled with heartache and guilt.
After watching the nurse take the child away, she spoke in a deep voice, "I deceived your gratitude. When I ruled in your favor, it wasn't because I was fair. It was because I wanted to die. I wanted to go against powerful people and hope they would kill me."
Chu Yao asked tentatively: "Is it because of your child?"
But something is wrong...
What happened between her and her grandmother happened ten years ago.
This child obviously had not been born ten years ago.
Yi Congfan shook his head.
"It's because of my child, but not this one. I had another child before, but he died."
She has been calm for so many years, and when she talks about it now, there is not much sadness or excitement in her words.
"I started working at a grassroots court. I was truly passionate and fearless. I dared to offend anyone and put my own life and death at risk."
"In 2014, my 12-year-old son was abducted. Those people even wrote a letter to my home, saying that because I sentenced a child trafficker to death, his accomplices wanted to retaliate against me and abduct my child as well."
"But by the time this letter appeared, the prisoner had already been executed, and I could no longer get any clues about his accomplices."
"At first, my husband comforted me, saying it was not my fault and that I was just doing my duty. We can find the child together."
"We joined the Parents' Association of Abducted Children and agreed to find the child and never have another child to replace him. That would be unfair to either child."
"But faith can't overcome reality... Many parents at the parent-teacher conference gradually gave up and started having new children and living new lives..."
"My husband and I argued more and more, and he began to blame me during arguments, blaming my judgment for offending evil people and putting all the blame for our child's abduction on my shoulders."
"He said that I was upholding justice for others, but in return it brought lifelong misfortune to our family..."
Yi Congfan said this, smiled bitterly twice, and looked at Chu Yao.
"It's funny to say, but the reason I dared to confront the Luan family was because I was living an unfortunate life. On the morning of the verdict in your grandmother's case, I was scolded by my husband, and I blamed myself a lot."
"At that time, I thought, I'm going to offend Fengpu's all-powerful people. If they kill me, I can still die in a glorious way."
"If I were living a happy life, I might be as timid as those people, and would never dare to judge the Prince of the Luan family."
So that's how it is...
Chu Yao was in a complicated mood.
But on second thought, even if Yi Congfan's starting point was not as selfless as she thought, she did give a fair judgment after all.
Justice is judged by deeds, not by heart.
The way Chu Yao looked at her was still the same as before.
Amidst the longing, there are also deep doubts.
She asked, "Did you find the child? And why... did you end up in jail?"
Yi Congfan continued, "The Luan family case really forced me to leave Fengpu. It just so happened that I also wanted to focus on finding my child, so I left Fengpu and came to my husband's city, Yuncheng."
"My relationship with my husband is even worse. We often quarrel and fight, but we are inseparable because we always cry and miss our children after the quarrel."
"All the elders advised us to have another child, saying that having another child would definitely improve the relationship between husband and wife and would fill the gap in the parent-child relationship."
Chu Yao listened to this quietly and felt very uncomfortable.
She thought of a Garfield cartoon she'd seen as a child... she wasn't sure if it was the original storyline or a spin-off.
It tells the story of Garfield who ran away. His owner looked for him for a long time and was so sad that he almost had a mental breakdown.
Finally, he decided to go to the pet store and buy another cat to replace it.
Unexpectedly, he reunited with Garfield in the store, and the scene of their reunion was touching.
But in the last section of the cartoon, Garfield said sadly that he would never ask his owner why he walked into the pet store that day.
But when there is no hope, shouldn’t people move forward?
"In 2019, I gave birth. Everything was normal during the prenatal checkup, and the baby was born healthy."
"The person who took revenge on me was really good at manipulating human nature. She took the initiative to throw clues just when I was about to start a new life."
"It turns out that the person who kidnapped my child was the cleaning lady who had been cleaning my house when I was in Fengpu."
"When we went to her hometown to find my child, he had been locked in a cellar for five years, living in a pile of excrement. His legs were crippled, and his body was covered with wounds from insects and rats..."
"After we rescued him, we gave him treatment. But he saw that we had a healthy child and we had started a new life, while he would be disabled for the rest of his life..."
"One night, he left us a suicide note asking us to take good care of our brother, hoping that he would become a useful member of society in the future and live on with his legacy."
"He took advantage of everyone being asleep, crawled into the bathroom, and drowned himself in the bathtub."
