Chapter 160: The Merits
Wang Zhong, who was in prison, felt that his life was dark, and all his once glorious dreams had been dimmed. Because in the prison, I often can't see my fingers. The dying dream of a dying person is not to eat well and dress well, but to hope that the executioner's knife will be faster.
He often huddles alone in a dark corner and asks himself if it is worth losing his life to save someone's life. His answer was that it was worth it. But there has to be a precondition for this, for example, sacrificing his life to save a little girl whose life is threatened, this is righteousness and bravery, even if the sacrifice is worth it, he is naturally willing to do it. But now it's not worth it, because he was wronged to death. Even after death, people will point to his grave and say that he really deserves it.
However, the visit of one person made Wang Zhong feel that he had died less wronged. This person is Zhou Zixiang. Because Zhou Zixiang never believed that Wang Zhong was the murderer who poisoned her husband. What she saw in Wang Zhong's eyes was sincerity and kindness.
The moment Wang Zhong saw Zhou Zixiang in prison, he was extremely surprised. I feel that he has given so much selflessly, and finally can get back some comfort. Because the moment Zhou Zixiang saw him, her eyes were filled with tears.
Wang Zhong also shed tears of emotion and asked Zhou Zixiang how she got into the cell? Because the county official had said before that no one was allowed to meet with Wang Zhong.
Zhou Zixiang said to Wang Zhong: "I paid the jailer to buy it before I could come in." At first, they wouldn't let me in, no matter what I said. Later, when I saw them gesturing with silver, I realized that they had come in to give money. I spent all my money to get in. ”
Wang Zhong said to Zhou Zixiang: "It's really difficult for you, I really can't help you if you want to go through these hardships." It's just that you've finally come in, why don't you bring me something delicious? ”
Zhou Zixiang said: "I originally brought a cooked chicken in. But they won't be able to bring you something to eat. So the chicken that was supposed to be yours was confiscated by them. ”
"What a bunch of beasts who eat people and don't spit out bones." Wang Zhong scolded like this. He has a further understanding of the darkness of officialdom, and those with little power can only be slaughtered by others. People want to kill you just by finding a random reason, not much different from killing a pig.
Zhou Zixiang said to Wang Zhong very distressedly: "At a glance, I know that you have suffered a lot, and you have lost a lot of weight. How do you feel about your body? ”
Wang Zhong said to Zhou Zixiang: "I am afraid that one leg will be disabled for life." But it's okay, I'm already feeling much more comfortable for you to come and see me. ”
Zhou Zixiang said to Wang Zhong again: "This blames me." If I hadn't asked you to come over and help me heal, you wouldn't be where you are today. ”
Wang Zhong said to Zhou Zixiang: "You can't be blamed for this. You are also a victim. I was framed by someone else, so you don't have to blame yourself. ”
Zhou Zixiang was taken aback when she heard him say this, and hurriedly asked him if he knew who was framing him?
Wang Zhong said to Zhou Zixiang: "I can't be sure who is framing me. But I'm definitely framed. I don't have that medicine box at home, but they can create one out of nothing, and they clearly want to kill me. What a jealous talent. After saying that, he cried loudly.
Zhou Zixiang told Wang Zhong not to cry, it was ugly for a big man to cry like this. Wang Zhong doesn't care if it's ugly or not, anyway, it will be even more ugly after he dies. He had seen a lot of decomposing corpses, all of which were hard to see to the point of horror.
Zhou Zixiang saw Wang Zhong so sad, she was also very sad, she really wanted to help Wang Zhong do something, it was best to be able to let him settle his grievances. So she asked Wang Zhong what she could do for him.
Wang Zhong's answer fully reflects how filial a son is. He said that his only regret was that he did not fulfill his filial piety, causing his father to ask the white-haired man to send the black-haired man. After he left, his father, who was not very eye-catching, had a hard time living. He asked Zhou Zixiang to help take care of his father. His father had to go to the toilet once a day. He asked Zhou Zixiang to help guide him, so as not to let his father fall into the dung pit.
Zhou Zixiang agreed to him with tears in her eyes. Then he said that his father had to wash his face every morning, and asked Zhou Zixiang to fetch some water for him, and he must not let him fetch water by himself, as he would be in danger of falling into the well. Zhou Zixiang agreed to him as soon as possible.
In the end, Wang Zhong asked Zhou Zixiang to go back, but he was afraid that if she returned late, her mother-in-law would be angry again. Zhou Zixiang said that she didn't care what others thought, she just had to be innocent, and she couldn't live if others were angry.
However, Zhou Zixiang can't go back if she doesn't want to. Because the jailer was going to chase her away. She didn't want to leave, so she asked the jailer if he could let her stay a little longer.
The jailer said angrily to Zhou Zixiang: "You think this cell was built by your family, you can come and live as you want." Get out of here, or I'll overcharge you. ”
Zhou Zixiang had no money left, so she was ready to leave. Wang Zhong suddenly stopped her, and then said to the jailer, "Is it possible to stay a little longer by paying more money?" ”
The jailer thought that Wang Zhong had money on him, so he excitedly said to Wang Zhong: "Yes, congratulations, you guessed it right, how much money do you have and take it out quickly." ”
Wang Zhong hurriedly touched his whole body, and suddenly his heart was half cold, it turned out that he had never brought any money on him, and he forgot that he was wearing a prison uniform now, and he couldn't hold money at all. So, he had to say to the happy jailer, "I'm sorry, I forgot to bring the money." ”
The jailer was very angry, he wanted to go into the cell and beat Wang Zhong out of anger, but he didn't want to be so troublesome after thinking about it. Because Wang Zhong himself is a death row prisoner, what is the use of beating him. So he sprinkled his anger on Zhou Zixiang's body. He shoved Zhou Zixiang's back and told her to hurry up. That week, Zixiang had to say as she walked: "Don't push me, I'll go." ”
When Zhou Zixiang returned home, it happened to be evening. Her mother-in-law had just made dinner. Zhou Zixiang said to her mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law. You should rest, and let the daughter-in-law do the work of cooking. ”
Zhou Zixiang's kindness not only did not lead to good retribution, but also caused bad retribution. Her mother-in-law said to her viciously, "What face do you have to come back, you who poisoned her husband." Don't go and make a nest with your enough men. ”
Zhou Zixiang was very angry, it didn't matter if others misunderstood her, but the people closest to her misunderstood her so much that she was about to go crazy, so she yelled at her mother-in-law: "Why do you say that about me." I didn't kill anyone. I am the one who asks for medical advice when my husband is sick, and I am the one who takes care of me, and I am the one who feeds the medicine. Don't think you're old enough to mess around. I think you must have been the one who gave poison to your son as a meal and killed him. ”
The mother-in-law was so angry that she couldn't speak, she just pointed at Zhou Zixiang and was verbose, with a distorted expression on her face, which was even more terrifying than a ghost.
Zhou Zixiang didn't care about decency or indecency on her head, and continued to yell at her mother-in-law: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't make a grimace to scare people." Even when I get to the underworld, I have something to say. The gods of heaven and earth are all watching, even if Brother Chai's soul comes back, they won't help you. ”
The mother-in-law screamed angrily and fainted directly. (To be continued.) )
