Chapter 736 Qin Huairu visits Yi Zhonghai in prison
Liu Haizhong glanced around and asked curiously, "Hey, why hasn't Zhuzi come back yet?"
Xu Damao said sourly: "The leader came to the factory today, and Sha Zhu was asked by Li Huaidra to accompany him for drinks."
Liu Haizhong said with envy: "Zhu Zi has made great progress now. Every time the leaders from the factory come, Zhu Zi will go to receive them!"
Xu Damao said disdainfully: "He's not a receptionist at all, he just cooks for others and serves them!"
"Hey! What are you guys doing together?"
He Yuzhu walked into the courtyard and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Liu Haizhong said with a smile: "Speak of the devil, he will appear. We are talking about you."
He Yuzhu smiled faintly and said, "I don't have an extra nose or eyes, what is there to talk about?"
Liu Haizhong said with a little excitement: "Zhu Zi, I have good news for you. Yi Zhonghai's verdict has come out!"
He Yuzhu couldn't wait to ask, "How many years was that bastard sentenced to?"
Liu Haizhong blurted out: "For twelve years, I was exiled to the northwest to open up wasteland."
He Yuzhu laughed out loud when he heard this: "Haha, this is indeed great news. The bad guys have been punished and justice has been served."
"Guangtian, go buy me two strings of firecrackers. I want to celebrate."
As He Yuzhu said this, he took out a dollar and handed it to Liu Guangtian.
Liu Haizhong echoed, "Guangtian, buy two more strings of firecrackers. I want to set them off as well. The cancer in the hospital has been eliminated, and we should celebrate."
"Broad day, bring me two strings of firecrackers so I can set them off too!"
"Guangtian, bring me two strings of firecrackers too."
Not long after, the sound of firecrackers was heard in Yard 95. If people didn’t know, they would think someone was getting married and having a baby.
Yan Bugui's family.
Yan Bugui cursed in a low voice: "These bastards are really mean. Yi Zhonghai was sentenced to a heavy sentence, but they set off firecrackers to celebrate."
"After all, we have been neighbors living in the same compound for decades. Don't we have any feelings for each other? You are really a bunch of cold-blooded beasts."
Yang Ruihua said coldly: "Yan Bugui, I know you and Yi Zhonghai have a good relationship, why don't you go to the prison to accompany him?"
Yan Bugui was furious and said, "Yang Ruihua, what are you talking about, you bastard? Are you crazy to let me go to jail?"
Yang Ruihua said, "Aren't you on good terms with Yi Zhonghai?"
Yan Bugui said angrily, "Just because he and I have a good relationship, do I have to go to jail with him?"
Yang Ruihua said expressionlessly: "Liu Haizhong is right. What you did before is indeed enough to send you to jail."
"Yan Bugui, I'm warning you, don't do anything illegal for me again. If you go to jail, I will divorce you without hesitation, just like Qin Huairu."
Yan Bugui was furious and said, "Yang Ruihua, we should be conscientious. Who did I do all those things for? Wasn't it for our family? How come it's all my fault now?"
Yang Ruihua pursed his lips and said, "Don't make such high-sounding statements. What do you mean by for our family? I think you are just used to stealing."
Yan Bugui was almost mad to death. He pointed his spear at Yang Ruihua and said angrily:
"Yang... Yang Ruihua, you are simply unreasonable!"
Jia family.
Qin Huairu listened to the sound of firecrackers outside, her eyes secretive and her expression calm.
Jia Zhang pretended to be casual and asked, "Huai Ru, Yi Zhonghai still doesn't agree to divorce?"
Qin Huairu said in a hateful voice: "That old man refuses to divorce no matter what, but it doesn't matter. As long as we are separated for a year or two, I can file for divorce in court."
Jia Zhang was silent for a moment, then said, "Huai Ru, I think the reason why Yi Zhonghai is unwilling to divorce you is that he thinks he will not be sentenced to more than a few years, and he can continue to live with you after he is released."
"But the situation is different now. He has been sentenced to twelve years in prison and is required to go to the northwest to open up wasteland. His chances of returning are slim."
"As the saying goes, a dying man's words are kind. If you say something nice to him and show him some warmth, he might agree to a divorce."
Qin Huairu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she pretended to be calm and said:
"What you said makes sense. Tomorrow is Sunday. I'll go buy some meat and cook him a nice meal. I'll also buy him some daily necessities. I hope he'll find his conscience and agree to a divorce."
"Hasn't Yi Zhonghai already been sentenced? Is it too late to go there tomorrow?"
"It's still in time. The public security comrades have already said that Yi Zhonghai will be transferred to the Northwest in some time."
Early the next morning, Qin Huairu went to the vegetable market first, then to the department store, and then hurried home to cook.
At around half past ten, Qin Huairu strode towards the police station carrying half a bowl of braised pork, two steamed buns and some daily necessities.
When she arrived at the detention center, Qin Huairu met Yi Zhonghai smoothly.
After not seeing him for a few days, Yi Zhonghai looked haggard, as if he had aged ten years.
Qin Huairu said with a distressed look on her face: "Lao Yi, you have suffered. This is the braised pork and steamed buns I brought for you. Come and eat them!"
Yi Zhonghai saw this, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he smiled bitterly and said:
"Qin Huairu, I didn't expect you to come and bring me food?"
Qin Huairu sighed and said seriously:
"Old Yi, even though I have many complaints about you, we have slept in the same bed together for so long after all. It would be a lie to say that there is no affection between us."
"When I learned that you were sentenced to twelve years in prison and had to go to the northwest to open up wasteland, I lost all my anger."
Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, then said: "I am in this state, and you still come to see me. No matter whether what you said is true or false, I will accept your kindness."
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he stared at the braised pork in the aluminum lunch box and then began to eat it voraciously.
In less than three minutes, Yi Zhonghai had eaten up all the food in the aluminum lunch box, even the greasy and watery contents were not left behind.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu inadvertently raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, which disappeared in an instant, and she whispered softly:
"Lao Yi, I also bought you some daily necessities, I hope you can use them."
Yi Zhonghai wiped his lips with his sleeve, took the package from Qin Huairu, and said in a deep voice:
"Qin Huairu, I know it will be difficult for me to come back after I go to the Northwest this time. Just for this good meal, I am willing to let you go free. Take out the divorce agreement and I will sign it now."
Qin Huairu suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and impatiently took out the divorce agreement.
Qin Huairu had already shown him the divorce agreement, so he signed his name on it without much hesitation.
Qin Huairu took the divorce agreement, put it in her arms as if it were a treasure, and then whispered to comfort her:
"Old Yi, don't be discouraged. Although you have been sentenced to twelve years and have to go to the northwest where the weather is bad to open up wasteland, you are only in your early fifties. As long as you take care of yourself, there is still hope that you can come back."
Yi Zhonghai just smiled bitterly and said nothing more.
