After the illegal casino was shut down, the couple, along with Xie San and others, were locked up in a detention room and were not allowed to visit them at all.
After being sentenced, they were directly sent to the Northwest for labor reform.
When they were sent away, they had only the clothes on their backs and no other luggage.
The Northwest is different from the Central Plains. The weather gets cold much earlier in the morning.
Writing letters is allowed on the farm, but you have to buy the envelopes and stamps yourself, and they are much more expensive than outside.
Where did Liu Jinshui and Zhang Yuejiao get the money? Liu Jinshui never slept with money.
The heavy physical labor on the farm made Zhang Yuejiao and Liu Jinshui miserable.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and the hard beds on the farm were so cold that the two of them couldn't fall asleep.
Unable to hold on any longer, Liu Jinshui turned his attention to Zhang Yuejiao.
Zhang Yuejiao is his only remaining property.
At Liu Jinshui's signal, Zhang Yuejiao began to exchange glances with the supervisor.
I let them take advantage of me and finally got the envelope, letter paper and stamps.
Liu Jinshui was overjoyed and quickly wrote a letter to his parents, describing his miserable situation as much as possible and asking them to mail him food, clothes, and quilts for the winter.
"The Zhang family is so cruel. They actually sent their daughter and son-in-law into the abyss with their own hands. I will never let them go on this matter."
The next morning, Li Shufen took her grandchildren and headed towards Zhangzhuang.
As soon as she entered the village, Li Shufen started crying and cursing.
"You black-hearted bastards, you sons of bitches who got struck by lightning.
You sent my son and daughter-in-law to the farm, leaving us two old people with two orphaned children. You are trying to kill our family!"
Li Shufen's crying quickly attracted the attention of the women at the village entrance.
Although they didn't know the old woman, the tears of the weak always aroused everyone's sympathy, and soon people gathered around her.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you? Tell us if you have any grievances."
Li Erhua began to persuade.
"Old sister, which village are you from? Why are you crying here?"
An old lady also came over and looked at Liu Shufen with sympathy.
"I came to Zhangzhuang to cry and yell, and of course I had a reason to do so. I was cursing Zhang Qingchun's family in your village."
Li Shufen said sobbingly.
"Whose family are you talking about?"
Li Erhua's voice unconsciously rose an octave.
"Zhang Qingchun's family, his wife is Liu Guixiang, and his son is Zhang Xiangnan. They are a family of black-hearted and rotten-hearted people."
"Shut up, you old, pious woman! My second uncle and second aunt have never quarreled with anyone in their entire lives. Everyone in the village would give them a thumbs-up when they are mentioned.
My brother Xiangnan is a cadre in the army and has a very high level of ideological awareness. Whenever anyone needs help, I, Xiangnan, always contribute money and effort.
How could such a kind family offend an old hag like you?"
Gao Fei separated the crowd and came from behind.
"Their kindness is all fake. Their children and I are in-laws. Is their daughter Zhang Yuejiao? That's my daughter-in-law.
These two children are Zhang Yuejiao’s son and daughter. Do you know where Zhang Yuejiao is now?
Zhang Yuejiao and her husband, my unfortunate son, are now suffering in the Northwest Farm. They were the ones who sent them there.
Li Shufen pulled her grandchildren in front of her.
"Old hag, everything must be done with reason. It's not just who cries the most pitifully that has the right.
Tell me, what did your son and daughter-in-law do to get sent to prison?
Although Xiangnan is the head of the army, I don't believe that if they hadn't committed any crime, he would have sent them to jail."
Gao Fei already had the half-finished sole in her hand. If she couldn't explain it clearly, Gao Fei wouldn't care about her age and would definitely smash her mouth.
"Never mind the reason. When my son and daughter-in-law were arrested, Zhang Xiangnan was right next to them. No matter how hard they begged, Zhang Xiangnan showed no mercy and directly ordered the police to take them away.
Tell me, is there any brother like this in the world? Is his heart made of iron?
Li Shufen knew very well the charges against her son and daughter-in-law, but it was too embarrassing for her to speak out in public. She just avoided the important issues and fabricated some faults against Zhang Xiangnan.
"Let me ask you one thing: did they really commit a crime?
They committed a crime? What can Brother Xiangnan do? They were arrested by the Public Security Bureau, so why don't you dare to go to the Public Security Bureau to make trouble? Do you think my second aunt's family is easy to bully? Or do you think there is no one in Zhangzhuang?"
Sun Ximei put her hands on her hips and joined the battle.
"My son wrote back and made it crystal clear that the police listened to him. If he hadn't given the order, there would have been no way they would have arrested them.
You bunch of ignorant village women, have you been brainwashed by Zhang Qingchun's family and are speaking in their favor?
I can't explain it to you, I'm going to go surround their door and curse them."
Originally, she wanted to ruin the reputation of Zhang Qingchun's family at the entrance of the village, but this group of hateful village women all spoke in their favor, which made Li Shufen a little angry and embarrassed, and she spoke a little angrily.
"You old hag, you actually dare to scold us? I'll smash your mouth."
Before Gao Fei could take action, Li Erhua couldn't help it.
She had a conflict with Zhang Shuguang, but later when he was collecting mountain products, Zhang Shuguang put aside his past grudges and bought the products from their family anyway, giving them a way to survive when they were out of food.
When Zhang Shuguang's family was renovating their house, seeing that they were in financial difficulty, they asked her to help out and gave her one pound of food a day.
Li Erhua would never forget this kindness for a moment.
She originally thought that Zhang Shuguang's family was living so well, a hundred times better than theirs. She might never be able to repay this kindness in this lifetime, so she could only keep it in her heart.
When you are sleepy, someone will give you a pillow. Zhang Yuejiao's mother-in-law came to your door.
Li Erhua, who was eager to repay her gratitude, was not polite at all and slapped Li Shufen in the face.
"I'll let you curse my uncle and aunt, and I'll beat your stinky mouth to pieces."
Gao Fei also swung the shoe sole in his hand and hit Li Shufen in the face again and again.
Sun Ximei, Gao Shuyan, Tian Lannie, more and more people started to beat Li Shufen, making her scream like a ghost and scaring the two children into crying loudly.
"Be careful when you do this, don't hurt the child."
Gao Fei still maintained the last bit of his sanity and pulled the two children out.
What happened to Zhang Yuejiao has nothing to do with the children. After all, these two children are the grandchildren of the second aunt.
Whether Second Aunt is willing to admit it or not is one thing, but she can't hurt them.
"Stop hitting me! Someone's dead! If you keep hitting me, I'll report you to the police station."
Li Shufen had disheveled hair and a swollen face, which stretched out her wrinkles and made her look a lot younger.
"Stop, what are you doing? Why are you fighting?"
The noise and crying at the entrance of the village reached the village. Tian Sulan trotted out of the village and quickly asked everyone to stop.
