"Yuehua, it's me. Your sister guessed that you must be in the hospital."
Hearing Gu Beichen's voice outside the door, Su Yuehua opened the door of the ward and walked out, "Brother-in-law, let's talk outside."
The two walked to the corner of the corridor, and Gu Beichen said apologetically: "Yuehua, I'm sorry, Fang Weidong has been convicted."
Su Yuehua was obviously stunned, and slowly asked, "How many years was he sentenced to?"
Su Yuehua had been prepared for Fang Weidong's sentencing, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon, which caught her off guard.
Gu Beichen lowered his voice and said, "Five years, Yuehua, don't worry, I have already made arrangements with the Capital Prison. Fang Weidong won't have a hard time in there."
"Brother-in-law, thank you." Su Yuehua thanked him politely.
"Yuehua, I can't help you here, you don't have to thank me. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Your sister is waiting for me at home." Gu Beichen looked apologetic and left the hospital quickly as if he was escaping.
He couldn't tell the truth to Su Yuehua because Su Bosheng had been putting pressure on the investigators, and the director wanted to use Fang Weidong's speculation as a typical example and use it as an achievement for future promotion.
Su Yuehua stood alone in front of the window in the corridor and was stunned for a long time before returning to the ward.
Huang Guihua saw her coming back and asked casually, "Yuehua, was that your colleague just now? I just discussed with your father that we still can't take the money you gave us."
"Mom, this five thousand yuan is what my brother and his friends earned from their business. Just keep it and take some time to pay the medical bills you owe to the hospital tomorrow. My dad and Weinan's follow-up recuperation will also require a lot of money. And my eldest brother, my brother, will also need money to take care of himself in prison." Su Yuehua didn't know how she said it to the end. She closed her eyes and didn't dare to look at her parents' expressions.
She would not tell the couple that the 5,000 yuan was what Fang Lina owed to the Fang family, and that Fang Weidong was worth the price because he took the blame for all her crimes.
Fang Guoqiang was the first to react. He burst into tears and said in a choked voice, "Your brother has been sentenced."
Su Yuehua nodded. "Five years. My brother-in-law said that he has already made arrangements with the Capital Prison. My brother won't suffer any hardship in there."
Given Fang Lina's personality and her understanding of future developments, she would never keep to herself. It might not be a bad thing for Fang Weidong not to have contact with her during the five years he was in prison.
Huang Guihua tried her best not to cry, but in the end, she couldn't help it and burst into tears.
Fang Weinan was still calm, "Sister, can't the account book you asked me to write save my brother?"
The account book may be used to deceive Fang Lina, but it is not enough to be used as evidence.
She shook her head. "If we send the account you wrote to them and check the notes, they will find that it was just written. If things go wrong, they will even convict us of fabricating evidence."
As the Spring Festival approached, Shen Chengyi still hadn't returned, and Su Yuehua was worried. Fortunately, Fang Guoqiang and Fang Weinan were discharged from the hospital.
On the 29th, Su Yuehua went to prison.
Fang Weidong was surprised to see her, "Mom and Dad, are you okay?"
"Not good at all." Su Yuehua told him everything that had happened in the Fang family during this period.
"I'm sorry to my parents." Fang Weidong, a grown man, cried with snot and tears, wiping his face with his big hands. "I thought that if I took all the blame, Lina would take care of my parents for me."
Su Yuehua said coldly: "Stupid, don't you know who Fang Lina is? She is such a selfish person, how could she take care of your parents for you."
"My parents have raised her for more than 20 years, how could she be so cruel?" Fang Weidong was so shocked that his eyes turned red and his hands were clenched tightly.
"Fang Weidong, can't you clear your head? Fang Lina hates me and the Fang family. She blames you and me for all the suffering she has endured over the years. Only a fool like you would trust her so much. Now that she has used you, she has thrown you away like a rag." Su Yuehua got angry when she saw the look on his face. She was so angry that her emotions were a little out of control at the end of her scolding.
The prison guard standing nearby warned her: "Please control your emotions, otherwise the visit will be stopped."
Su Yuehua took a deep breath, adjusted her mood and continued, "You reform yourself in there, and I'll mail you some books later. You can study more when you have time."
"Also, if there's someone in there who has real skills, you can learn from him with an open mind." The prison guard was standing next to them, so Su Yuehua couldn't make some things too clear.
There were many prisoners in the prison at that time. They were all wrongly arrested because of that movement. Some of them had real abilities and would be rehabilitated in a few years.
The prison guard reminded again: "Fang Weidong, visiting hours are over."
Fang Weidong was forced out of the visiting room by the prison guards. With red eyes, he turned around and said, "Yuehua, help me take care of my parents."
"I will, don't worry." Su Yuehua gave him a reassuring look.
Fang Weidong's dark pupils lit up again. He opened his lips and wanted to say something, but his throat tightened.
Su Yuehua left the prison and could not calm down for a long time.
On New Year's Eve, Shen Chengyi still hadn't returned. She felt so disappointed. Near noon, Lin Hongmei came to pick her up and celebrate the New Year with Mrs. Rong.
She was afraid that Shen Chengyi would not be able to find her when he came back, so she went home the next day.
As the weather got warmer, her belly grew bigger and bigger. Everyone who saw her belly was worried for her, so she had to take maternity leave early.
At noon, just as Su Yuehua was about to take a nap, she heard a knock on the door. She held her waist with both hands, slowly got up from the bed and went to open the door.
“Bang, bang.”
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lin Hongmei standing outside with two bags of food in her hands. "Yuehua, your belly is too scary. You are not pregnant with triplets."
Su Yuehua reached out to take the things in Lin Hongmei's hand, but was directly rejected by her, "Yuehua, you are pregnant now, so you are not needed. Someone gave the old lady some supplements, and she asked me to bring them to you. I will help you into the house."
Lin Hongmei helped Su Yuehua into the house and sat on the bed, then brought a stool and sat opposite her, "Yuehua, Chengyi is not at home now. You can't live alone with such a big belly. I think you should come back and live with me."
"Aunt Lin, don't worry. Comrade Chengyi and my neighbor's sister-in-law all take good care of me." Su Yuehua was used to being alone and didn't want to cause trouble for Old Lady Rong and Lin Hongmei.
Lin Hongmei stood up and sighed, "You are such a stubborn child. I won't say any more. I have to go back now. You don't have to get up to see me off."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the bedroom, then closed the door.
When Su Yuehua heard the door close, she felt a pain in her stomach just as she was about to sit down. She dragged her waist to the bathroom door and was already sweating profusely from the pain.
She realized something was wrong and was about to go find Sister Qiu Ju, but she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
…
When Lin Hongmei got into the jeep, she realized that Mrs. Rong had forgotten to give her the money she had asked her to transfer. She opened the door and said to the young soldier driving the jeep, "My brain is really useless. Xiao Zhang, wait for me for a while."
