598: Second brother, be a good person and listen to your parents.
When the people in the book come into reality, the paper man becomes a flesh-and-blood character, becomes their relative, and lives together for a period of time. No matter whether this person is a villain or not, they will always develop feelings for him.
At this time, Yu Erye was still knocking on the door outside. Hearing Xiaoye crying, he scratched his head anxiously:
"Dad, Mom, Xiaoye, please open the door quickly and let me in. What did you do to my brother? Brother, brother!"
Hearing Yu Erye's reckless shouting outside, Zhou Ziheng took the key from Yu Jiahui, unlocked the door, and pulled out the bolt.
As soon as the door opened, Yu Erye rushed in, and Cuihua followed him into the house.
When Yu Erye entered the room, he saw his elder brother lying on the ground with his hands handcuffed behind his back, as if dead. Yu Erye also cried:
"Brother, brother! What's wrong with you?"
Yu Erye wanted to help his elder brother stand up, but his elder brother's legs could not move and he grimaced in pain when he moved.
Yu Erye cried and pleaded:
"Can you please let Big Brother go? Director, can you please let Big Brother go?"
Zhou Ziheng said to Yu Erye ruthlessly:
"Second brother, I can't let him go."
Yu Erye begged with tears streaming down his face:
"Why, can't you just let him go this time?"
"I've let him go many times." Zhou Ziheng remained unmoved and spoke in the tone of a director.
Seeing that there was no hope for help, Yu Erye cried and went to help the person on the ground:
"Brother, brother—brother, you are so confused—why would you do such a thing?"
Yu Daye coughed and spat out a mouthful of thick blood:
"Second brother, it's over for big brother. Be a good person and listen to your parents. They won't treat you unfairly. I deserve it."
Yu Erye didn't know what to do. He didn't want his elder brother to be sent to labor camp, and he didn't want his elder brother to leave the family, but he didn't know what to do.
He thought about asking Zhou Ziheng for help again, but when he saw Zhou Ziheng's stern face, he was too scared to speak.
Seeing Yu Erye burst into tears, Yu Jiahui reached out to help him:
"Second brother, get up."
"Dad, can't you save my brother?"
"He has to pay for his mistakes. Everyone must be responsible for their own actions. I can forgive his ignorance for stealing a gun, but he hurt an innocent girl, which is not worthy of forgiveness!"
"Uncle Yu——" At this moment, Chen Ci, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.
Everyone turned their eyes to her.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Ci whispered:
"I told you I won't expose him."
Everyone listened to Chen Ci's words, and was a little confused about what he meant.
Why did she say that suddenly?
This sounds like a subtle reminder.
She reminded the Yu family that she would not expose Yu Daye. Does that mean she forgave Yu Daye for what he did?
Did she think that as long as she forgave Yu Daye, he would not have to go to labor camp?
Thinking of this, Zhou Ziheng said:
"Even if you don't expose him, I can't pretend I know nothing. I won't convict him of rape, nor will I charge him with stealing a gun, because both are capital crimes. Once convicted, there's only one way out."
Protecting Yu Daye from being executed was the biggest concession Zhou Ziheng could make.
Chen Ci asked:
"Then what crime will he be sentenced for?"
"Speculation and profiteering undermine the planned economy."
"How many years?"
"Not sure, at least ten years."
Hearing the time of ten years, a trace of emotion flashed across Chen Ci's face.
She moved her gaze to the man still lying on the ground, and suddenly thought of Li Xinchun.
Li Xinchun was sentenced to five years in prison for speculation and profiteering.
Now Yu Daye is charged with the same crime, but his sentence is more than twice that of Li Xinchun.
A strong sense of bitterness welled up in Chen Ci's heart.
She didn't know why she had such a fate. Both men she met were sentenced.
And it's the same crime.
Am I really so unlucky?
When Li Xinchun was sentenced, she knew nothing about it, had never even seen him, and was powerless to do anything.
But now, the man who had hurt her fell in front of her, which actually made her feel sympathy and gave her a strange thought, which was:
She didn't want him to go to labor camp.
Thinking of this, Chen Ci covered his stomach and said:
"Uncle Yu, can I have a few words with him alone?"
Yu Jiahui and others were very surprised by Chen Ci's request.
I can’t imagine what Chen Ci wants to say to Yu Daye.
For a moment, Yu Jiahui didn't know whether he should agree or not.
Yu Xiaoye still had tears on her cheeks. Seeing that no one spoke, she answered for them:
"good."
Yu Xiaoye moved off the kang and said to Yu Jiahui and Xu Ying:
"Dad, Mom, let them talk for a few minutes alone?"
Yu Jiahui seemed a little worried about putting Chen Ci and Yu Daye together.
But seeing Yu Daye lying on the ground in such a dead state, unable to even stand up without anyone helping him, and with handcuffs on his hands, there was nothing to worry about, so he turned around and walked away with a gloomy face.
The axe in his hand was also taken away.
As soon as Yu Jiahui left, Xu Ying also dragged Cuihua away.
Yu Xiaoye walked to Yu Daye's side:
"Director, second brother, lift eldest brother onto the kang."
Zhou Ziheng walked over and worked together with Yu Erye to hug Yu Daye.
But the axe that hit Yu Daye was really hard. It had injured the bones of his right leg and the knee. Whenever the two men moved, Yu Daye screamed in pain.
Hearing his painful cries, Yu Erye and Yu Xiaoye couldn't help but burst into tears.
The last Zhou Ziheng
Holding Yu Daye's upper body, Yu Erye held Yu Daye's legs, and together they carried him to the kang and let him sit against the wall.
After holding the person, Zhou Ziheng led Yu Xiaoye out.
Only Yu Erye was left in the room and didn't want to leave.
Yu Daye: "Second brother, please go out. I want to talk to her."
Yu Erye sniffed:
"Call me when you're done."
Then he left the room and closed the door.
Only Yu Daye and Shen Ci were left in the room.
Chen Ci was still standing there, not far from the door to the inner room.
Yu Daye leaned against the wall, enduring the pain in his legs, the fishy and salty taste in his mouth, and the discomfort of having his hands tied behind his back, and looked up at Chen Ci.
After his breath calmed down a bit, he asked:
"Come on, if you have something to say, you will never have the chance to say it again—"
After saying this, Yu Daye said:
"I'm sorry, I deserve to die. What happened that day was my fault. I regretted it right away. I couldn't control myself and hurt you.
I'm apologizing to you now, you see, I've already paid the price.
If you still feel unsatisfied, come over and slap me twice.
Hurry and fan it now, because in two days it will be too late to fan it."
Hearing Yu Daye's heartfelt apology, Chen Ci burst into tears again.
She knew very well that Yu Daye deserved the beating he got tonight.
But after hearing what Yu Daye said, Chen Ci softened her heart.
