Chapter 477: Is there going to be a big move in the prison?
The first day of February.

Suburban women's prison.

"Bang, bang, bang!!!" The prison guard banged on the steel door heavily with his baton.

The prison guard shouted loudly: "Do it well, do it seriously, don't think about being lazy!"

"Whether you can have enough to eat depends on how you cook. If you don't cook well, it's your own fault if you go hungry! Do you understand?"

"I know!" the prisoners said in unison.

Today, all the prisoners in the prison have something to do. No matter who they are, no one can be idle.

Even the big bosses in each cell, such as Wang Sufen and others, were working as female workers.

"Be serious, don't be lazy, and don't think about doing it for others. No one will be able to eat until this batch is finished today."

The prison guard warned and inspected everyone sternly.

If you look at everyone in the prison from the highest point, you will find that all the prisoners and prison guards are gathered together.

The prison guards were standing guard every three steps and every five steps, staring at everyone, leaving no blind spots.

Anyone who wants to be lazy will be seen at the first moment.

"Lao Liu, the meeting has started." Suddenly, someone called the prison guard nearby.

When the prisoners heard that they were going to hold a meeting, they breathed a sigh of relief, finally having a chance to catch their breath.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

"Don't be lazy. Don't think you can be lazy just because we're in a meeting. When I come back and see that you haven't finished your work, no one will be able to eat lunch!"

Upon hearing this, the prisoners, who had just felt relieved, suddenly became nervous and did not dare to relax at all.

The prison guard next to him patted his arm and said nothing, and Lao Liu hurried away.

Soon, there were a lot of vacancies in the positions where there was originally a guard post every three steps and a sentry post every five steps.

But there are still many prison guards patrolling, so you can sneak around and take a break when no one is paying attention.

Senior prison guards went straight to the conference room.

The warden looked at the senior prison guards and said straight to the point: "I won't waste any more time. I called you all here to pool your wisdom and solve the problem."

"We don't have much food in our prison. It's a bit difficult to feed so many prisoners. Can everyone think of a solution?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone fell silent and no one stepped forward.

"Old Liu, you speak first."

When his name was called, Lao Liu stood up helplessly and said, "Didn't the higher-ups allocate food to us yesterday? How come there is not enough food?"

The warden looked aside and the prison guard in charge of logistics immediately explained: "We received food yesterday, but the food allocated is far from enough for the people in our prison now."

"The food allocated from above is based on the number of people reported last year, and this year there is not enough."

Due to the famine, the prison's food supply has been reduced, but this is not a big deal. If we budget carefully, we can still manage.

Most importantly, the prison guards didn’t know that food was being delivered to Sijiu City one after another, otherwise they could have tried to apply for it.

Now they gathered together just to think about how to solve the food problem for so many prisoners.

Old Liu nodded: "What about work? Our prison has taken on so many jobs, we should be able to make some money, right? We can also buy a lot of food with the money."

Someone else came forward to explain: "Don't mention this. The price of food outside is too high now. Even if we put all the money the prisoners earn into it, we still can't buy much food."

"Now they have all been eaten up. There is nothing left."

Upon hearing this, the prison guards frowned. They didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

"Why don't we try to reduce the daily rations so that everyone can have a little extra. It will add up to a lot."

"It can't be less. There's already not enough food. The prisoners are already hungry. If there's any less, they won't have the energy to cook."

"It's really not. How about we just provide two meals a day and change the meal times?"

"This is a good idea. We can try it!" The warden's eyes lit up when he heard it.

Someone objected: "The work these prisoners do now is not easy. If they really need two meals a day, they will have to work after being hungry all night and without eating."

"A lot of them will faint, and they will need more food. This method won't work, unless they are not allowed to work in the morning."

Hearing this, everyone felt discouraged. This method would not work.

"It's good now. We have the strength to work, and we can make sure they don't starve to death and don't eat too much. We can't mess around anymore."

The room fell silent again.

No one had a solution to the current dilemma.

Prisons are for imprisoning criminals, not for starving people to death.

Those refugees are easy to deal with, but those with families will be in big trouble if something happens.

"Don't just stand there, think of another way?" the warden said helplessly.

No one spoke.

"That's enough, let's all go." Out of sight, out of mind, the warden waved his hand.

The meeting seemed to have ended as if nothing had happened, and the senior prison guards went back to their work of monitoring the prisoners.

Old Liu went back and saw that many prisoners had stopped and were looking at the people around them.

Lao Liu nodded: "Okay, that's good. It seems that you didn't slack off when I went to the meeting."

Now I just need to finish a few tasks at hand, and then the morning work will be over.

"I'm a man of my words. Since you've all finished, I'll serve lunch at noon."

When the prisoners heard this, they were immediately delighted. They could finally eat. They had not eaten enough in the morning and were forced to work.

I had been working for the whole morning and was already dizzy with hunger.

"After all the cell heads have checked and accepted the results, take them all back for dinner."

"Yes!" The prison guards responded in unison.

When the prisoners heard the order, they were very happy and urged the people around them to speed up with their eyes. Some people even thought it was too slow and rushed over to take over.

Lao Liu continued, "Eat well at noon and have a good rest after lunch. We still have things to do in the afternoon."

"If the afternoon work is not done well, it will be the same. No one will be allowed to eat. Do you hear me?"

"Did you hear that?" the prisoners responded weakly.

"Didn't you eat? You look so weak, I think you don't want to eat? Is that right?"

"No!" the prisoner shouted back.

Old Liu nodded with relief: "I'll ask you one last time. If you can't answer well, don't even think about eating."

"If the afternoon's work is not done well, no one will be allowed to eat. Do you hear me?"

The prisoners shouted at the top of their lungs: "We heard it!"

"Very good, I am a man of my words, I hope you won't let me down!"

"All cell heads, take them back after they have passed the inspection!"

After that, the prison guards immediately inspected them, and those who passed were taken directly back to the cells for meals.

Those that fail the acceptance inspection will be sent back for redoing.

Jia Zhang, Tingting and other prisoners returned to the cell. Not long after, someone came over with buckets of food.

The staple food is still coarse grains, the only dish is cabbage, and the soup is clear and watery, without any oil or fishy smell.

But even this was considered a delicacy by the hungry prisoners.

I'm almost starving to death, why should I care whether it tastes good or not, I just need to eat my fill first.

A group of people holding bowls swarmed in front of the rice bucket, vying to be the first to eat.

"Don't be in a hurry! Come one by one! Whoever makes a lot of noise will not be able to eat lunch!" The prison guard knocked on the door to warn.

Upon hearing this, all the prisoners immediately quieted down and lined up obediently, including Wang Sufen and Liu Erniu.

They are the bosses of the cell, but they are nothing compared to the prison guards.

"Wang Sufen, come and get the food."

"Yes!"

Hearing the order, Wang Sufen quickly stood up and started serving food to everyone. Jia Zhang was at the front of the line. She was much thinner than when she came in, at least 30 to 40 kilograms thinner.

From another perspective, prison is indeed a paradise for those who want to lose weight. As long as you come in, you will definitely lose weight.

"Hehe, boss." Jia Zhang smiled and held out the bowl.

Wang Sufen served her food and sweet potatoes, and the next person would take over immediately without her having to remind her.

"Line up properly and don't make any noise!" the prison guard said, and went to inspect other cells.

As soon as he left, someone immediately took over Wang Sufen's position, serving food to everyone and giving her a big spoonful of vegetables.

"Yeah." Wang Sufen nodded slightly and took the bowl to eat.

Soon, everyone got their food. The later one got, the less food they got, so naturally they had to ask others for order.

If you are not full, you will naturally ask someone for some food.

Persimmons should be picked soft and pinched.

"Yes! Zhang Cuihua!"

"Oh~" Jia Zhang immediately shared half of the food in her bowl.

"Bring it here!" He was not polite at all. He took away Jia Zhang's dishes and kicked them away, signaling Jia Zhang to get out.

Jia Zhang didn't dare to resist at all. She immediately rolled away with the sweet potato, fearing that the last sweet potato would be snatched away. Fortunately, she had already eaten most of the dish.

It wasn't just Jia Zhang who was robbed. Several vulnerable people including Tingting were also robbed.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you stealing for!" Suddenly the prison guard's scolding voice was heard.

Jia Zhang leaned over the door and saw a fight going on in the cell diagonally opposite.

The prison guards immediately rushed over to stop them, but the two men, who were already mad with anger, ignored them.

"You dare to fight in front of me, you are seeking death!"

Seeing that they couldn't separate them, the prison guards simply didn't separate them and just picked up their batons and started beating them!

"what!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"Stop it, stop it!"

The two men were hit hard and immediately separated, using their hands to protect their bodies.

"Now you know you're wrong? Did you do it earlier? Beat me! Beat me hard! You won't feel pain unless you learn this lesson!"

Upon hearing the order, several prison guards immediately killed them without caring how they begged for mercy.

Before long, the two were beaten half to death.

"Tsk tsk tsk~" The crowd watching couldn't help but sigh for the two of them.

Seeing the people around him looking so sad, the warden said, "That's enough, stop hitting me."

Then he looked at everyone and warned, "If you don't obey, this will be your fate!"

"Don't let me see you guys fighting over food again, or I won't let you off so easily next time."

After the prison guard leader finished speaking, he took several prison guards out of the cell, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

The food robbery continues despite repeated bans, and the prison guards are too lazy to do anything about it, so people just keep fighting and causing trouble.

If trouble comes, they will beat the person no matter who started it first.

Seeing the two people covered with bruises, the onlookers felt grief for the loss of the rabbit and the grief for the foxes. This was just killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

"Okay, stop looking and eat quickly. After eating, take a rest quickly. We still have work to do in the afternoon!"

"Wang Sufen, take care of your own cell. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you responsible! Didn't you hear me?"

"I heard it!" Wang Sufen responded quickly.

After the prison guards left, Wang Sufen looked at the guards who liked to snatch people's food the most, "Whoever wants to snatch food, keep it down and go to the toilet to snatch it!"

"If you cause me to get beaten, I'll be the first to punish you. Do you hear me?"

"I heard it." Several people nodded in response immediately.

Wang Sufen would not stop them from grabbing food. After all, the food they grabbed would be "offered" to her in the end.

"Okay, go and have a rest after eating. We still have to work in the afternoon." Wang Sufen was too lazy to say more. Such things could never be prohibited.

Taking advantage of the free time at noon, the warden once again called a meeting of all the prison guard leaders.

"Everyone is here. It's the same as the meeting this morning. Let's talk about any ideas we have. No matter if they can be implemented or not, just speak up. At least we have an idea."

The senior prison guards once again looked at each other in bewilderment, having no ideas at all after the whole morning.

"What? Are you dumb? If you put your power into finding a solution, how come you can't come up with a solution?"

"Think about it quickly. You must come up with a solution today no matter what."

The warden had given the order, so everyone had to rack their brains to think hard.

Someone immediately suggested: "Why don't we take on more work? We can earn more money to buy food?"

The prison guard in charge of logistics immediately retorted: "You are dreaming. You just need to talk and I have to run around for a while. Now there is no work outside."

"They can barely feed themselves, so how can they send out work? I am already risking my reputation by finding these jobs."

"Since this idea is yours, you can find a way to get the job yourself. I don't care. I still have some dignity to show for it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the idea of ​​speaking was immediately dispelled, and it also greatly dampened everyone's desire to come up with ideas.

Everyone stopped talking immediately.

The warden immediately said, "Old Li, we are discussing and thinking of solutions now, not doing it right away. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Everyone should say what they need to say. Don't be afraid that it can't be realized. We asked everyone to come here to find a solution. Whether it can be realized or not doesn't matter. Just come up with it."

The warden had to comfort everyone so as not to affect their enthusiasm for making suggestions.

But the result was obvious, and everyone was even more afraid to speak.

No one spoke, and the warden became anxious: "Speak again, don't be afraid, speak everything."

Someone cautiously suggested: "I have an idea? It's..."

"Just tell me what it is. Just say it boldly."

"Then I'll say it."

"Speak, what kind of man are you if you keep dithering? Speak!"

"Look, everyone. Aren't there too many people in our prison? If we release a group of prisoners, wouldn't it be better if there are fewer people? There will also be less food rations."

"Bah! What a bullshit idea you came up with!" The warden was immediately furious: "What do you think this prison is? The people in there are all released people, and you want me to release them?"

"I think you got kicked in the head by a donkey. How could you come up with such a crooked idea? What do you think our prison is? A vegetable market?"

As soon as the warden finished speaking, other senior prison guards echoed him.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're also an old prison guard. How could you say something like that? What do you think of the law?"

"Release all the prisoners. Do you want to disrupt public order? If something goes wrong, how do you want us to explain it to the higher-ups?"

"That's right. If you don't have any suggestions, then don't do it. Do you want to kill us?"

He looked at the warden aggrievedly: "No, it's not you who said that"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the warden, "Okay, stop talking. Your method is not reliable at all. It's better to outsource the work."

"Yes, it's still the contracting business."

Everyone nodded in agreement. They had previously thought that this was not possible, but after a comparison, they realized that it was definitely something that could be done.

He is innocent. Didn't your warden say that he could speak freely and not worry about whether it could be realized? Why did you criticize me for making a suggestion?

He felt very aggrieved and couldn't express his pain.

After the meeting, I went to vent my anger on the prisoners.

"It's all your fault. Why do you eat so much? Can't you just skip one or two meals?"

The subsequent discussion did not produce any issues, so the warden asked everyone to use their connections to find some work to contract.
