The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 1279 The Residence of an Old Friend

"That's right. You were helped and taken care of by your fellow inmates during your years in prison. If the prison was not peaceful during those years, it would be difficult for you to come out in good health."

Bai Meixi is a grateful person. When the Wang family sent Cheng Haiyi to the prison for serious criminals, they beat him so hard that he died inside.

According to their thinking, the living conditions in that place are harsh, the location is remote, and supplies and medical care are extremely scarce. Those felons who have lived in such a harsh environment for a long time must be very anxious. In addition, most of these people have committed violent crimes before. , the sentences are long, there is almost no possibility of release from prison, and the possibility of fighting with each other is extremely high.

Even if Cheng Haiyi didn't die of illness and starvation when he went there, he would still be beaten to death.

Unexpectedly, the prisoners in that prison were very united and very loyal. After Cheng Haiyi repeatedly extended a helping hand to them, they sincerely regarded him as a friend and took care of each other. Now Cheng Haiyi has his own business. , indeed we cannot treat these people who share weal and woe with him badly.

It is not difficult to find out the whereabouts of these prisoners. In the years since Cheng Haiyi was released, a total of 11 prisoners have left Gobi Prison. Five of them have a very good relationship with him and are all in the same cell.

"Hai Yi, why did you think of asking about their whereabouts? Don't worry. After you left, the cell you were in was rated as a model cell every year. Most of the people in it had their sentences reduced and learned in prison. With some skills, it’s not difficult to find a job to make a living back home.”

The leaders of the prison know that Cheng Haiyi is worried about the situation of these people, but now it is a good time for economic development. Even people who have committed crimes can find a job as long as they are willing to endure hardship, which is much better than before.

"I've been doing business in Puhai recently, and I'm doing pretty well. If there are people who are not doing well right now, I want to call them over and work together."

Cheng Haiyi expressed his thoughts and wanted to ask the prison staff to contact them to see who needed help.

"It is a good thing to promote the re-employment of ex-offenders. We will definitely support it. In fact, there is a person who lives near Puhai City. Do you remember Xiao Song? He lives in a nearby water town. I put I’ll read you the address.”

The staff there quickly found the files, and in accordance with the prison's requirements, the whereabouts of each person released after serving their sentence must be confirmed, where their household registration must be returned, and their family members must sign.

Xiao Song's situation is very special. The water town is not his hometown, but because of his imprisonment, everyone despises him. His brothers and sisters have married their own families and no one is willing to let him settle down. In the end, he can only go to one At the home of a distant relative.

It was said that the family only had two daughters and wanted a son to help the family's fishery.

"Of course I remember him. He is the youngest among us, and in my opinion, he is also the most unjust."

Cheng Haiyi naturally remembered who Xiao Song was. He was only 16 years old when he went to Gobi Prison. He was thin and small, and he looked malnourished at first glance.

Later, Cheng Haiyi learned that the reason why Xiao Song was in jail was because he beat his stepfather seriously, because that man beat his mother every time he was drunk, and he beat him very seriously. One of her legs was severely lame, but the man still had no intention of letting her go. Instead, he became even more aggressive because her movements slowed down.

When he returned home, he found his mother lying on the ground covered in blood, and the man was holding a chair and preparing to smash it down.

Xiao Li immediately pushed the man away and hit him on the head with a wine bottle. The man fell to the ground, hit his forehead on the corner of the table and died.

His mother was carried to the hospital. The examination results showed that she had multiple fractures on her body and was accompanied by cerebral hemorrhage. The condition was very serious.

This incident was clearly self-defense, but some people said that the stepfather had raised him for several years after all, and even if he did something wrong, he should have advised him instead of killing him.As a result, Xiao Song was sentenced to 15 years. In the second year of his imprisonment, his mother died of illness. The other brothers and sisters disliked his imprisonment and were unwilling to pay attention to him. Not only did no one come to see him, Yes, I haven't even written a letter.

At that time, Cheng Haiyi gave him the dried meat and vegetables given by Bai Meixi, which made him feel grateful and felt that he was better than his own brothers and sisters.

"Where is the fishing ground in the water town? Even if you want to raise fish, there is not such a big place."

Bai Meixi thought this was a bit strange. People in the water town depended on water, so it was common to catch some fish species and lotus roots from the lakes, but it would be difficult to build it into a large-scale fishery.

Cheng Haiyi was a little worried after hearing Bai Meixi's statement. Early the next morning, the two of them found Xiao Song according to the address provided by Gobi Prison.

There are indeed no fishing grounds here in the water town, only the hard work of digging lotus roots. The reason why that family was willing to take Xiao Song in was because they had no strong laborers and wanted to use him as a free labor force.

"Hurry up! Don't dawdle, we don't have idle people in our house!"

When Cheng Haiyi arrived in the water town, he happened to see a woman yelling at a dark and thin man, and even whipped her twice with a cane.

This method is no different from treating slaves. In the new society, there are still people who dare to do this, which shocked Cheng Haiyi.

"What a crime. I have been working for this family for more than a year in vain, and I haven't even given them enough food to eat. If I had stopped staying in this family, I would have stopped staying in this family."

"Is there anything I can do? I heard that he was in prison before. He can't find a job and his family doesn't tolerate him. If he doesn't stay here, he may not even be able to survive."

Two people washing clothes by the pond were talking about it. At this time, Cheng Haiyi realized that the person was Xiao Song. He ran over in three steps and took the whip from the woman's hand.

"This is a new society. If you dare to do this again, I will ask the police to arrest you!"

Cheng Haiyi was so strong that he pushed the woman and staggered her. She suddenly fell to the ground, leaving mud all over her body.

"It's none of your business if I teach my son a lesson. Even if I beat him to death, it has nothing to do with you!"

That woman looked less than 50 years old, only a dozen years older than Xiao Song, but she actually dared to call herself Xiao Song's mother, which made Cheng Haiyi laugh.

"Hmph, his mother has died a long time ago. Could it be that you are a ghost! Then I will use a cane to fight ghosts today to see your true face!"

Cheng Haiyi never hit a woman, but he couldn't help it when faced with such a villain. Xiao Song behind him also recognized Cheng Haiyi at this time. He hurriedly climbed up from the mud and knelt down directly. Behind Cheng Haiyi.
