On the first day, Zhang was still a little interested. And she had already thought that there were indeed distant relatives on her mother's side, and she would call her cousin aunt.

Her cousin and aunt have always been high-eyed, and she is not well married, so she has the heart to find a good family for her daughter. It's just a pity that the big families naturally don't look down on their family, and she almost doesn't look down on others.

As she went back and forth, her cousin was delayed.

Now it just so happens that one is in prison, and the other is an old daylily, which is really a perfect match. As soon as her eldest brother came home, she would immediately talk about this family business, and the old lady would be happy to come.

As a result, after just a few days of leaving, Zhang regretted it a little.

Although the carriage was carefully decorated and upholstered, she still felt that she was tossed and bumped, and she was uncomfortable.

Especially last night, at the inn where they stayed, the shopkeeper boasted that it was the best in the neighborhood, but she felt that no matter how much incense was smoked, there was a lingering stench.

However, this is Jin Hao's decision, complaining is complaining, but she does not dare to oppose it publicly. Jin Hao looks honest on the surface, but only she knows her true face. If it really annoys him and spoils his good deeds, I don't know how to deal with her.

In contrast, Mrs. Wang is energetic every day, silently counting the days in her heart. With each passing day, she looked forward to it even more, fantasizing countless times in her mind about what her eldest son would be like now.

If you want to say that among the three sons she gave birth to, the eldest looks the most like her.

Although the second and third children also look like her, they are actually more like their father. Only the boss, who looks exactly like her. It is said that if a son is like a mother, he will be blessed. Now it seems that this blessing does not know where it is.

Thinking about it, Mrs. Wang thought of an incident when Jin Ming was a child. At that time, he was only four or five years old, and the Jin family was still in the entrepreneurial stage, and she and Mr. Jin went out early and returned late every day to do business, socialize and socialize, and had no time to take care of their eldest son.

One day, she and Mr. Jin took Jin Ming to talk about business in the restaurant, and Jin Ming felt bored, so he went downstairs to play by himself. When the couple finished talking about business, they found that their son was missing.

Just as he was about to look for it, he saw Jin Ming walking over with a bunch of things. When the two of them saw each other, they thought he was hungry and ran to get some food.

Who knows, when he walked up, Jin Ming pointed to the bags of things on his chest and said, "Mother, this is the medicine I just grabbed for you in the pharmacy, it is very expensive, and all the money I brought has been spent." The doctor said that this is a high-quality medicinal material, and my mother insisted on drinking it for a month, and her throat would not hurt in the future. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Wang expectantly.

It turned out that Mrs. Wang was born with a problem, that is, her throat would hurt when she talked too much, and her voice was hoarse, and she couldn't speak clearly. But lately, they talk about business every day, and it's impossible not to speak, so their voices are often overloaded.

The doctor had warned her that if she continued like this, she might become mute, or that her voice would be hoarse forever and she would never recover.

Holding the medicine bag, Mrs. Wang was moved, few people can understand the hardships of starting a business, she is a woman who follows her husband outside every day to talk about business, and the taste is not enough for outsiders.

In the end, it was her son who cared about her the most.

Fortunately, after drinking these packets of medicine, Mrs. Wang's throat did improve a lot. However, when she went to the pharmacy again, she could not find it again, because the doctor had moved away.

After Jin Ming was abducted by Huazi, her throat began to hurt again. However, after so many years, none of the remaining three children of the Jin family has taken the initiative to buy medicine for her, but they are fighting over how to divide the family property.

She's just old, but she's not dead, how could she not know.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang's expression became a little serious. Everyone says she's partial, but shouldn't she be partial? If you have the ability, you can also come to her to be filial and honored, instead of just thinking about that bit of family property every day.

In fact, there is no such thing as a balance in the love of parents, they are just trying to balance it. Also biological, there are always smart and unintelligent children, or smart and smarter, stupid or dumber.

As parents, they will either help the less intelligent one in order to make him less disadvantaged; Either favor the smarter and better one, and try to train him to be a successor.

So, perhaps, there is almost no completely equal parental love in this world. And Mrs. Wang, whether out of guilt or emotion, is destined to her favorite child, which will only be Jin Ming.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang had a serious face, Jin Hao stepped forward and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you, and you want to be in the eldest brother's business?" Don't worry, we're getting closer. My son has just gone out to inquire, and he will be there in five days. When the time comes, our family will be reunited. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang had a smile on her face, and murmured, "That's good, that's good." ”

Zhang's thought in his heart, what is good, what is good, you alone think it is good. I don't know what it's for.

A few days later, early in the morning, they entered the territory of Qingshan County. In this regard, Mrs. Wang became more and more nervous, and she had the illusion that she was closer to her hometown and more timid.

When they arrived in Qingshan County, Mrs. Wang urged Jin Hao to quickly find an inn, and the family hurriedly went inside to freshen up. They knew that Mrs. Wang's speed was very fast, and it would not be good if she had to wait for a long time.

Sure enough, by the time they finished freshening up, Mrs. Wang had been waiting for a while. Seeing that the Zhang family and the second son were obedient, and the speed was already very fast, Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, only said the word "go", and took the lead to the county office.

Just when a few people were freshening up, she inquired about the location of the county jail.

The closer she got to the prison, the more she felt that her heart was beating wildly, and she had some indescribable feelings. She didn't know if it was excitement or guilt or joy.

After waiting for more than thirty years, she thought that she had experienced enough, and there would be nothing more to make her lose her temper in this life.

Who knows, when it really came to this moment, she still couldn't help but tremble.

If you look closely, you will find that the people standing at the door of the prison today are not the two familiar people in the past. Without him, just because the two of them resigned after taking the money from Fu Wuniang and Zhou's mother that day.

The two took the money, went back to their hometown, bought a field, married a wife, and lived a small life. When I dream back at midnight, I think of the experience I had and cherish the present day even more.

Strictly speaking, the errand of guarding the door of the prison is not hard, and it can even be said to be a beautiful difference in a sense, because from time to time someone will give the silver "meaning". Therefore, even if it is a night shift, it is just sleepy, and you can sleep a lot during the day when you change shifts.

Compared with the physical hardship, in fact, the psychological torture is the real reason why many people quit after working for a while.

This is the entrance to the prison and the exit to the prison.

But whoever goes in from here it will be very difficult to come out, no matter what sin he committed. Over the years, they have been able to count the people who have entered and come out of this place.

This is also the beginning of countless joys and sorrows, and it is the end.

No matter how unwilling you are, no matter how wronged or wronged you are, after entering, you have only one identity and one title, that is, prisoner, the lowest person in these cities.

As soon as the newcomers saw the posture of Mrs. Wang's family, they were a little happy in their hearts, and felt that they were not far from resigning. Dressed up like this, the meaning is indispensable.

Sure enough, after discussing for a while, Mrs. Wang said, "Second brother, you and your daughter-in-law should accompany me in." The rest are waiting here. ”

After saying that, he walked towards the two people guarding the door.

When she got closer, Mrs. Wang took the lead in giving a salute, and then said: "The two big brothers have worked hard, and the old man is from Guazhou, and he came here to see my hard-working son." He has been locked up here for thirty years and will be released next year. The old body only recently learned of his whereabouts. To say that he was also young and ignorant back then, and he would end up at this point when he was abducted by Hanako, so I asked the two big brothers to let me in to see him for the sake of his age. ”

Jin Hao had already handed over two silver tickets with a face value of fifty taels.

When the two of them looked at it, they felt that there was no problem.

As soon as Mrs. Wang came out, she had already explained that this person would be released next year, and he was not a felon. If it is a serious sin, they will not be able to sit in the Lord's place. Second, this amount of money is really a lot, and it is really interesting, and this is the most interesting meaning they have received since they took office.

Thinking of this, the two said, "It's really not easy for you, so let's go in." But don't go beyond a stick of incense, we'll be reminded when the time comes. So please grasp the time and don't let the little ones be embarrassed. ”

These were all expected by Mrs. Wang, and she had already inquired about these routines. Like here, it is quite regular, and some prisons are even darker, and the money is directly calculated according to time, and ordinary families can't afford it at all.

Fortunately, their family is not short of this bit of silver, so they naturally have confidence.

The door was opened and the three of them entered, and the two closed the door again.

To be honest, before this, Zhang's heart was full of complaints and grievances, and he felt that he had lived a bad life in the past ten days. At this moment, as soon as the door was closed, she began to sympathize with Jin Ming, the eldest brother.

Not to mention that the prison stinks everywhere, the key is that it is still dark, and it took her a while to get used to the light. If she were to live here for a year, she would rather die, let alone her eldest brother for thirty years.

And the moment the door closed, she suddenly felt that it was good to be free. I think that Jin Ming was also in this mood when he was escorted in, almost in a desperate mood.

The three of them, who gradually adapted to the light, slowly walked forward, and Jin Hao glanced at the situation in the cells on both sides from time to time. To say that this is the first time he has seen such a scene, the shock in his heart can be imagined.

He grew up with gold and dignity, where would he have thought that there was such a place in the world. Before, he thought that Jin Ming was just not free, but he never expected to be locked up in such an environment.

Not to mention ten percent of the family property, even if he gave up all of it, he didn't want to stay in this kind of place, let alone thirty years, it was better to die.

At this point, he and Zhang's thought exactly the same, and they were indeed husband and wife.

In fact, how did he know that in this world, death is actually very easy, a wipe of the neck, and that breath is broken.

But it's so difficult to live, especially these people here, who can't see hope at all, so how can they live.

The sound of ** in the cells on both sides, the sound of laughter and scolding and the sound of shouting injustice mixed with various stenches strongly stimulated the nerves of Zhang and Jin Hao, and both of them were a little scared. Seeing this, Mrs. Wang scolded a fool in her heart, but she didn't say anything.

Isn't Jin Hao self-proclaimed insidious, ruthless and calculating?

They are nothing in the face of death and fear. That's it, that's it. It's okay to deceive other people, but if you really have to meet a business opponent, you can only lose.

After walking through the long corridor and turning a few corners, the three of them finally came to the next door to the room where Shopkeeper Ye lived before.

At this moment, Jin Ming was curled up, trying to get some warmth from the hard stone-like quilt that was already all holes. This quilt was issued ten years ago, and no one has come to reissue it to them over the years.

Although there is a clear rule in the prison that a batch of quilts should be replaced every ten years, but if the documents are dead and the people are alive, and the top will not let them be replaced, who will come to check, or who will care if a prisoner is covered with a new quilt?

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang, who had been boasting of being brave and fierce just now, couldn't hold back any longer, and after calling "Hu'er", she kept crying there. Zhang and Jin Hao were even more at a loss, and they didn't know what to do in this situation.

So, the stinking and unkempt person in front of them is their big brother?

When Jin Ming heard someone calling "Hu'er", he thought he was dreaming. It was his nickname as a child, and no one had called him that for decades. Only his father would call him that.

Could it be that he is dying? Thinking of this, my heart felt sad. Before, when that person died, he thought he could survive. Now it seems that death may not be far away.

Unknowingly, Mrs. Wang called "Hu'er" again.

It's not a dream at all!

Jin Ming hurriedly turned over and saw the three people standing outside his cell.

Just by this look, Jin Ming suddenly recognized Mrs. Wang, and she also shouted her milk name, a name that others didn't know. Although Mrs. Wang is very old, she deliberately dressed up today, and her appearance has not changed much.

Jin Ming climbed, grabbed the pillar of the cell and climbed up, and shouted uncertainly, "Mother?" ”

This mother is crying, as well as grievances, and great hope.

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly stepped forward and called "Ming'er" again. The reason why she didn't identify herself, but just called his milk name, in order to be tempted. It's just that now it's not needed.

Jin Ming hurriedly put his head close to Old Lady Wang, but there was no way to stick out his whole head. In order to prevent the prisoners from rioting, the gap in the column was deliberately made of this specification.

Old Lady Wang was crying while touching Jin Ming's face with her hand. The scar in the center of the eyebrows, the scar on the head...... Everywhere, nothing has changed. And after pulling up Jin Ming's knotted hair, the face revealed was exactly what she had thought about in her dream for more than thirty years.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang couldn't hold back any longer, and cried loudly: "My son, my Ming'er, my mother has finally found you." ”

Jin Ming also smelled the inexplicably familiar smell on Mrs. Wang's body, and with Mrs. Wang's similar face to him, he no longer had to suspect anything, and he cried with Mrs. Wang.

For a while, Rao is Zhang and Jin Hao were so disdainful that they couldn't help it at the moment and cried. They had imagined countless family reunions in their minds, but they never imagined such a situation.

"Son, stand up and let my mother take a good look at you." Old Lady Wang said, and began to stroke Jin Ming's hands, feet, ears and body as she spoke. She still remembered the words of Shopkeeper Ye. Shopkeeper Ye said that the flower who kidnapped her son was a madman who liked to break the baby's hands and feet first, forcing them to go out to beg.

After checking and confirming that Jin Ming was a good hand, Mrs. Wang relieved herself a little, and then took the burden in Zhang's heart, handed it in and said, "Here are some hometown snacks, you pad your stomach first." ”

He pointed at Jin Hao and Zhang's and said, "Son, this is your second brother, second brother and sister." ”

Jin Ming said hello one by one, but he didn't touch the food, just took Mrs. Wang's hand, crying and pleading: "Mother, I don't want these foods." You get me out, I don't want to stay here anymore. I've been sick for a long time, they don't care about me, I feel like I'm going to die, really want to die. Mother, I don't want to die yet, can you help me out? ”

After speaking, he looked at the old lady Wang with pleading eyes, and took her hand.

Seeing her son's eyes that were exactly the same as when she was coquettish when she was a child, Mrs. Wang felt that everything was devastated, and her heart hurt violently. Jin Ming liked this when he was coquettish when he was a child, holding her hand and looking at her with wet eyes.

"Son, you wait, my mother will find a way when she goes out. Don't worry, this time I'm here, your second brother's family and I won't leave, we will rent a house right away, stay here, and wait for you to come out. Shall we go home together then? ”

"But, mother, I want to go out now, I want to be with you, mother......"

Just as the family was crying, a servant appeared with a blank face and reminded: "Old lady, it's time to visit, please go out now." ”

If it weren't for the money she gave was meaningful, he wouldn't have been so polite.

The old lady knew that she had to go out, and if she upset the officials, it would be troublesome to come back next time, so she said, "I will go out at once, and let me say a word to my son again." ”

Mrs. Wang's repeated assurances could not dispel Jin Ming's fear and desire, after more than 30 years, he finally found a home, naturally he didn't want to let his relatives leave so soon.

So, he took Mrs. Wang's hand and cried loudly: "Mother, don't go, I beg you, don't leave me alone, I don't want to stay here." Mother, don't you go......"

In the end, Old Lady Wang ruthlessly broke free from the hand that was tightly held by Jin Ming, and the moment she turned around, a hideous expression appeared on her face. It's just that when she turned to Jin Ming to speak, she returned to her motherly appearance.

She said: "Son, it's not that my mother doesn't want to accompany you here, it's just that my mother has to go out." Don't worry, my mother will come to see you in a few days, we will definitely not leave this place, and we will guard you here until you come out. My mother has already inquired, and you will be able to come out by this time next year. When you come out, my mother will take you home to see the little yellow flowers all over the mountains. ”

After speaking, regardless of Jin Ming's pleading, and without the support of Zhang and Jin Hao, he held his breath and walked out quickly.

Seeing that the figure of the old lady Wang gradually disappeared at the end, Jin Ming hugged his head and cried quietly. He knew that he had just lost his temper, but he really wanted to go out and stay with Mrs. Wang.

He didn't want to stay in this damn place for a moment.

At the same time, he knew in his heart that Mrs. Wang said that she would save him and wait for him, so she would definitely do it. He's a mother, and he's always done what he said.

He thought of Shopkeeper Ye again, the strange man who had only communicated with him for a while. This time, Mrs. Wang was able to find him smoothly, thinking that it was thanks to him. After so many years, he is willing to communicate with himself, and he also promised to help him find his family.

It's just that I don't know if he has found his son.

Out of the gate, Mrs. Wang called Jin Hao to support herself, because she was as weak and weak as if she had exhausted all her strength at the moment.

After resting for a while, Mrs. Wang finally recovered, but she still looked weak. Seeing this, Jin Hao was about to take Mrs. Wang to the hospital for treatment, but Mrs. Wang stopped and said, "No need." You two have just seen your eldest brother's situation, and I hope you can cooperate with me to get things done during this time. ”

The two hurriedly nodded.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang said, "Let's go find a place to rent first, and then find a way to catch the line of the county magistrate." ”

In the days that followed, Jin Hao successfully rented a residence in a nearby street. Although it is not as good as their mansion in Guazhou, it is not bad, at least much better than they imagined.

And there is Jin Ming's tragic situation to compare there, and Zhang has no complaints at all.

After a period of life, she discovered high-end jewelry shops such as Zhenbao Zhai and top restaurants such as Liuyunxuan and Lingyunlou.

During the day, she only occasionally accompanied Mrs. Wang to participate in some activities, and the rest of the time, she went to play by herself. Slowly, Zhang found that this trip was really the right one, and it was actually not worse than Guazhou in Qingshan County.

It sounds like just a county, but it's actually the best place around. What can be bought in Guazhou will not be less here.

Mrs. Wang is also a powerful person, and after a period of socializing, she got to know a lot of ladies and ladies in the city, and through their path, she met a lot of powerful people. It's a pity that no matter how hard Mrs. Wang tries, everyone's tone is surprisingly consistent, that is, it is impossible for Jin Ming to release it in advance.

However, as compensation, or considering that Mrs. Wang is so old, it is really not easy, and she has traveled thousands of miles from afar, Bai Zhixian acquiesced to Mrs. Wang's permission to take her son and daughter-in-law to visit Jin Ming in prison every ten days.

That's an extra gratitude.

Therefore, although Jin Ming was not released from prison for the time being, he was able to meet his mother every ten days, and gradually, his mood stabilized, and he was no longer as troublesome as he was when he met for the first time.

Once again, silver proves its invincible charm.

Mrs. Wang was generous, and Jin Ming's life was better, she moved to the room where Shopkeeper Ye lived, added a brand new quilt, shaved her hair and cleaned her face. Seeing that Jin Ming's spirit was getting better and better, Mrs. Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What is a year, she has waited for thirty years, are you still afraid of this year!

She will live here until next spring, and take her hard-working son home with her!
