Liu Hongying comforted Zhang Rui, saying, "Xiao Rui, this is the second thing I want to tell you."
"Although Zhang Chuan was arrested, he still had some conscience. Before he died, he provided valuable clues in order to get the military region to give you a break."
"So I'm innocent and released? I don't have to go to the labor camp?" Zhang Rui asked excitedly.
If she doesn't have to be sent to a labor camp, then even if her father is arrested, so be it, as long as she doesn't have to go to a labor camp herself.
Seeing Zhang Rui so happy, Liu Hongying felt a little reluctant to tell her the truth. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't know what to say.
Seeing that Liu Hongying remained silent, Zhang Rui realized something was wrong and quickly asked, "Mom, why aren't you saying anything? Did I say something wrong? Didn't you say the military region would give me a break? Shouldn't I be released without charge?"
"I'd be happy to leave the military region, after all, I'm too ashamed to stay here any longer!"
Liu Hongying took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Rui, although the military region has made an exception for you, it's not a complete exemption. You still need to go to the Northwest for a year of labor reform, reducing it from eight years to one year. This is already very good."
"What? I have to go to a labor camp in the Northwest for another year? This is outrageous! How can the military region do this? My father is completely innocent, yet they still won't let me be released without charge? How can they do this?"
Zhang Rui said angrily, "Mom, didn't you plead with the people in the military region? How could they do this? I don't want to go, not even for a month, let alone a year!"
Zhang Rui never imagined that another year of labor reform awaited her.
This was something she simply couldn't accept.
Seeing Zhang Rui like this, Liu Hongying quickly comforted her, "Xiao Rui, although you still have to go to the labor camp for a year, the commander specially agreed to let me go with you. I can take care of your daily life. Moreover, he also said that he won't let you do too much hard work. So, although a year is not a short time, with me taking care of you, it will definitely pass quickly. As long as we get through this difficult year, we will be fine in the future."
Hearing Liu Hongying's words, Zhang Rui finally calmed down and looked at Liu Hongying, asking, "Mom, is what you said true? You'll come with me to the Northwest for labor reform? You'll take care of my daily needs? Really?"
"Even the work I do isn't too strenuous?"
Liu Hongying nodded and said, "Yes, the commander agreed, so you don't need to worry too much. As long as we get through this year, the future will be good."
"We'll move to a different place and no one will know about our past. I believe that as long as we live our lives well, we will definitely have a good life."
Zhang Rui took a deep breath and said, "Mom, I understand. Let's cheer each other on and we'll get through this tough year."
"Let's live a good life a year from now."
Liu Hongying nodded vigorously and said, "Xiao Rui, that's the right way to think. When it's time for you to leave, I'll go with you. As for other things, you don't need to worry about them. Just take good care of yourself, okay?"
Zhang Rui said, "Mom, I know, I will take good care of myself. But Mom, you have to promise me that you will never abandon me, never leave me. You must come with me to the Northwest for labor reform. I will definitely not survive without you taking care of me."
As Zhang Rui spoke, tears streamed down her face again.
Looking at Zhang Rui's appearance, Liu Hongying felt heartbroken. She hugged Zhang Rui again and said, "Xiao Rui, what are you saying? How could I possibly abandon you? I would abandon anyone but you."
"You are my most precious daughter."
You should know that she even reported her own man for Zhang Rui's sake, sending him to hell.
How could she bear to abandon her own daughter?
Zhang Rui felt much more at ease after receiving Liu Hongying's reply.
