Chapter 22 22. Go to prison
22. Hold tight
Grandma sighed, "Oh! It's hard to guard against a house thief! I thought it was Liu Guihua before, but now I know that my son is also a bad breed. If there is any good thing in this house, they will try their best to get it."

"Grandma, didn't you break off with him? Such a person, it's good to break off. He has nothing to do with him, and he can live a more relaxed life!"

"Even if the relationship is broken, but you live next door, you can't hide any good things in this house. The house is a bottomless pit!"

"Grandma, when I find a job, or I go out to do a little business, I'll take you out and deal with this house, don't want it anymore, let's stay away from them in the future, and they won't be able to harm you anymore Let's go."

"Xiao Ling, you said to live outside, is that okay?"

"Grandma, you believe me. You and grandpa have raised me for so many years. Now it's time for me to repay you. I'm not sure and I won't make such a decision."

"Xiaoling, I won't go. I'm an old woman who has never been out. I'm afraid I'm not used to living outside. I'm used to living here..."

"Grandma, I'm here. If you don't understand, I will teach you. You will get used to it. Don't be reluctant to stay here. There is nothing worthy of your nostalgia here. If nothing else, go outside and be closer to your aunt. You can often see her." Auntie, isn't that good?"

"Okay, of course, I can't wait to see her every day!"

"When you go outside, you can see your aunt every day."

The grandma sighed: "It's not that easy. Your uncle is a good person, but your aunt's parents-in-law are very difficult to get along with. Your aunt has been married to the Tang family for more than ten years, and I have only been there once. Your aunt's parents-in-law's face, It was very long and smelled terrible, who would want to see that face every day."

"Yes, my aunt lives in a miserable life in such a family. I feel sorry for her. Why do I have to live outside? I just try to help my aunt live a good life. "

"Your aunt has married into someone else's family. Whether she is doing well or not, her family is not good at interfering."

Zhao Xiaoling stopped talking. She knew that grandma would not believe that she could help her aunt. This matter was indeed difficult, but she would do it no matter how difficult it was.

In the next seven days, Zhao Xiaoling and her grandma collected all the wheat in the field, dried it in the sun, and beat out the wheat grains with a stone touch. This process was all manual and very laborious.

To grind wheat into flour, you have to go to the commune, and only the commune has flour milling machines.

There is still a little flour at home, as well as some potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cornmeal, so Zhao Xiaoling puts away the wheat for the time being, and will go to the commune to grind the wheat into flour after a while.

As long as there is something valuable at home, it will be missed by the son's family.

The big bag of wheat at home is the main ration for Zhao Xiaoling and grandma for the next year. In order to prevent it from being stolen again, Grandma Zhao dare not leave home again.

After collecting the wheat, Zhao Xiaoling rested at home for two days. Grandma asked her what she was thinking, whether she really didn't want to go to school.

Zhao Xiaoling said: "I'll go to the commune tomorrow and ask about the substitute teacher."

"Then you take that sack of wheat and grind it into flour."

"Grandma, I'm not busy. I have important things to do when I go out this time. It's inconvenient to carry a big bag of flour. Besides, if the two of us want to live outside, there is no need to make a special trip to grind the flour." gone."

Grandma was worried, "Xiaoling, is your idea reliable? I think you should go to school. Don't worry about me. I'm in good health now. I can't delay you because of me. All the hard work you have to go to school is for nothing."

Zhao Xiaoling carried a basket on her back, "Grandma, you are at home, I will go to the mountains to find some wild vegetables, and bring a pheasant for us to have a good meal."

"Look, do you think I'm long-winded?"

"No, grandma, I like to be with you, no matter what you say or do. You wait! I'll go hunt a pheasant and come back, let's improve our food."

Zhao Xiaoling left the village and walked into the jungle, picking up walnuts, pine nuts, and mushrooms along the way. Although this mountain is backward and closed, it is rich in various products.

There was a famine outside in those years, and many people died of starvation, but Zhaojiagou never starved to death. As long as you can move, you can find some wild fruits in the mountains to eat and you won't starve to death.

If the road here is open to traffic, these good things in the mountains can be sold for money, but then again, if the road conditions here are good and can be opened to traffic, then there will not be so many of these things on the mountain.

Zhao Xiaoling found some wild vegetables, hunted two pheasants, and returned with a full load.

When she was about to reach the village entrance, Zhao Xiaoling ran into Wang Yuan and his other companion.But today, instead of police uniforms, they wore civilian clothes.

Zhao Xiaoling was carrying a basket on her back, a turban of old cloth on her head, and her clothes were old and gray, which was the standard outfit she would wear when she went into the forest.

So Wang Yuan, the former scout and now the captain of the criminal police, did not recognize Zhao Xiaoling.

Zhao Xiaoling saw him right away.

"Uncle Wang, are you here?" Although they only met once, Zhao Xiaoling felt very kind to Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan took a closer look. With bright eyes, rosy face, and calm demeanor, he blurted out in surprise.

"Zhao Xiaoling, so it's you?"

"Yes! Uncle Wang, has the case of my grandmother being poisoned come out?"

"This case is very simple, and it was clarified that day. Liu Guihua confessed and she explained everything she did. The case was closed long ago, and Liu Guihua was sentenced to 16 years in prison."

"Really, that's great, she deserves what she deserves."

Zhao Xiaoling recalled her previous life, her grandma was killed by Liu Guihua, but Liu Guihua was at large. In this life, she finally paid the price for her actions and got the punishment she deserved.

"Thank you Uncle Wang, thank you for acting impartially, protecting the good people and punishing the bad people."

"Zhao Xiaoling, you don't have to be polite. Maintaining social order and punishing bad guys is our duty."

"This Liu Guihua can be regarded as the first person sentenced to prison in Zhaojiagou since ancient times. This is a warning to everyone in Zhaojiagou. In the future, everyone will take care of it!"

Wang Yuan said vigilantly: "You mean..."

"Zhaojiagou is backward, the traffic is inconvenient, and the information is blocked. Everyone's legal awareness is weak. Many people have committed illegal things without knowing it. Liu Guihua is also confused about her crimes, right?"
