Chapter 16: Cao Xiaofang
"She retracted her confession!"
It is still Liu Weidong's home.
Qian Shizhong sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, and Zou Ping next to him gritted his teeth.
"The rotten man who is said to be a dog, a slut who rides thousands of people and rides by 10,000 people!" her sad and indignant voice carried some crying and trembling, "I also invited her to eat at the head ......of the house and feed it to the white-eyed wolf!
"Okay, what's the use of you scolding her here?"
Yuan Xiaochuan put away his mobile phone, his face was not good-looking, and he shook his head at everyone in the living room.
"It doesn't work. ”
At the celebration a few days ago, Yang Sanli suddenly appeared and sounded the alarm for Lao Qian. At that time, the eighteen victims of the black prison plus Liu Weidong agreed that they would meet regularly, exchange voices, and jointly fight against Hong Daihai and his gang of underworld forces.
It didn't take a few days.
Yuan Xiaochuan got a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
Zhang Jie suddenly retracted her confession!
He hurriedly informed Lao Qian and them, and invited everyone to Liu Weidong's house again to discuss countermeasures and cheer them on.
Unexpectedly, the number of people present this time was reduced by one-third.
Those who were absent, no matter how they contacted here, either hung up the phone or simply turned off their phones. The meaning behind its actions is self-evident.
The atmosphere was solemn for a moment, and anger and hesitation spread between each other's breaths.
Liu Weidong had a gentle temperament, and he couldn't see this atmosphere, so he took the initiative to persuade him:
"Don't be too anxious, even if a few of them retract their confessions, there are still us. ”
"Besides, those photos, surveillance videos and other physical evidence are all set up there, which is enough to convict Anyuan's gang. ”
I didn't expect it.
"Xiao Liu, think about it, are our enemies just those lackeys of An Yuan?"
Lao Qian immediately opened his mouth to refute.
He didn't deliberately lose Liu Weidong's face, but he realized that most of the people in the field, like Liu Weidong, were just resentful of the betrayal of Zhang Jie and others, but did not realize the real seriousness of the matter.
"No!"
"Our enemy has always been Hong Daihai. ”
He stood up and explained aloud.
"Those physical evidence can only point to An Yuan's gang, only we can prove that everything is instigated by Hong Daihai, and Hong Daihai is the culprit behind it!"
"Yang San is against Zhang Jie, not to exonerate the lackeys, but to keep Hong Daihai, the dog owner!"
"Comrades. ”
Old money's words are loud.
"They are shutting off their tails to survive! They are abandoning the car to protect the handsome!"
Most of the people in the living room suddenly realized that they were screaming.
"Okay! That's the idea!"
"Brothers, we must not let him succeed, and we must not retract his confession!"
"That's right! Whoever retracts his confession, which one is raised by a turtle. ”
......
Seeing that the morale in the field was rising again, Lao Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he still had a sentence left on his lips and did not say it, for fear of scaring these people. That is, once Hong Daihai succeeds, he will definitely suffer from the snake if he does not die.
How badly injured today is, how ruthless tomorrow's revenge will be!
So he took advantage of the good atmosphere.
"Comrades, I think it is because of this betrayal that we have to learn our lesson. We should be closer, more united, encourage each other, and supervise each other. ”
He took the opportunity to take out a "statement" that had been prepared a long time ago.
"I have prepared a statement here, which basically means that we must unite and help each other to jointly fight against the underworld forces led by Hong Daihai. All confessions shall be based on the present. If the confession is retracted later, it is all due to threats. ”
"I suggest everyone take an oath, sign it, and make a handprint. ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the field was slightly stagnant.
Someone was displeased and said:
"Old Qian, don't you believe us?"
Old Qian hurriedly waved his hand and was about to explain.
"I'll sign it!"
Cao Xiaofang, a rural aunt, snatched it in one step, she picked up the signature pen, wrote down her name "brush", and pressed her fingerprints heavily.
But there are words in his mouth that are completely different from decisive actions.
"I, Cao Xiaofang, a rural woman with no money and no power, have been fighting with Hongmao Company for ten years. The people around me laughed at me for being stupid, and my children didn't understand me, and I almost died in a stone prison. ”
"I'm old, tired, and I can't fight. ”
She looked around at the people in the living room, and her eyes were burning with anger, burning people who didn't dare to force them.
"So if I can't bring down Hong Daihai this time, I will die in front of the Hongmao Building!"
............
When Cao Xiaofang returned home, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
To be exact, this is not her home, but the home of her eldest son, Xu Dahua. In the past ten years, in order to pursue the truth about the death of her youngest son Xu Shaobin and seek justice, she has long abandoned the house and land in her rural hometown, and chose her eldest son's home as a foothold, running around in all directions.
She knew that her eldest daughter-in-law, Shaofen, didn't want to see her, so she entered the door lightly and went to the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles for dinner.
But when I arrived in the living room, I was surprised to see the eldest son and his family sitting at the dinner table.
The daughter-in-law also got up enthusiastically, and uncharacteristically did not call "old woman", but called "Mom" instead.
"Mom, you're back. Hurry up and eat, we've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Cao Xiaofang noticed that the table was full of dishes, and a large plate of them was actually her favorite "sweet roasted white". This is strange, this kind of sweet, fat and greasy thing, only she likes it in the family, and her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson are not willing to taste it.
"Is this the sun coming out in the west?"
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
The daughter-in-law took a bite of "Mom", calling it sweeter than when the red envelopes were distributed at the wedding, and diligently took the dishes and chopsticks, and served the rice and soup. The eldest son watched from the side, silent as a stone.
Until Cao Xiaofang sat down uncomfortably and just picked up the chopsticks.
The eldest son opened his mouth angrily.
"Are you going to Liu's lame house again?"
Cao Xiaofang knew that her eldest son didn't like her struggle, so she only vaguely returned:
"Something. ”
"Didn't I tell you not to go again?"
The eldest son's tone was very hard, and Cao Xiaofang also frowned.
"As I said, there are some things to discuss. ”
"What is there to discuss? I've said it several times, this time you should stop when you get compensation, you can't fight Hong Daihai!"
"Compensation?!"
Cao Xiaofang was already in a depressed mood, and this time, it ignited anger.
"Am I here for money? I'm here for Shaobin!"
However, this time, the eldest son, who has always talked little, has no intention of giving in to end the quarrel.
"Shaobin is already dead!" he stood up suddenly, "Mom, you can't toss the living for the sake of the dead!"
Then.
Suddenly a doorbell rang in the hallway.
The daughter-in-law pushed the eldest son, but the emotional mother and son ignored it.
"What is a living person, what is a dead person?"
Cao Xiaofang also threw down her chopsticks and got up from her chair, every wrinkle on her face trembling with anger.
"Shaobin is your brother and my son!"
"Shaobin is your son, I'm not?"
His eyes were red.
"In the past ten years, you haven't cleaned the house once, you haven't cooked a single meal. You weren't there when Shaofen was confined, you weren't there on the day my second sister got married, and a few years ago, I was hospitalized in a car accident, but you were still not there! Every day you run around, and this home is a hotel for you!"
The anger in Cao Xiaofang's heart seemed to be poured through a basin of cold water.
"I know, but as long as I bring down ......"
"Do you know? Do you know that the business in my store is not doing well, and every ten days and half a month, some people check and some people make trouble; do you know that Shaofen is a puffed bag in the company, with the most overtime and the least bonus; do you know that Yangyang has a withdrawn personality and has poor grades because he is isolated by his classmates at school and bullied?"
Cao Xiaofang was silent for a while.
Of course she does.
In recent years, since she came into contact with the truth and touched Hongmao's sore feet more and more, these overt and secret exclusions and blows have flocked from all directions.
Some of them come directly from Hong Daihai's dogs, some come from people who curry favor with Hong Daihai, some come from people who fear Hong Daihai, and even worse, they come from people who follow the trend and do evil.
She gritted her teeth and dismissed, and these exclusions and blows naturally turned to the people closest to her.
Cao Xiaofang knew that because of this, the people around him laughed at him, and his son complained about her.
But.
Is it wrong to pursue the truth, is it wrong to seek justice, is it wrong to do the right thing?
Even if she is wrong, in the past ten years, this matter has become her obsession and the motivation for her to live. Now, seeing that everything is going to be perfect, how can she give up, how can she be willing to give up?
She was speechless and had to change the subject stiffly.
"Yangyang?"
This is her lovely eldest grandson, and it is the lubricant between her relationship with his son and his growing strain.
"Bedroom, sleep. ”
The son also replied stiffly, and after that, there was a long silence.
Until.
"Ding-dong. ”
The doorbell rang again.
This time, he didn't need his daughter-in-law to push again, so he got up and opened the door.
Cao Xiaofang unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, she picked up the chopsticks, but she couldn't get off the chopsticks because she was upset. She could vaguely hear the short, inexplicable conversation at the door.
"Absent?"
"In. ”
Then, there was a flurry of footsteps.
She looked back in surprise to see her son returning to the dining room with a wooden face, and behind him were four men in white coats who appeared to be doctors.
The reason why it is suspicious is because these four people are all big men with strong bodies and very thick hair.
When Cao Xiaofang looked at the four of them, the four white coats also smiled at her, revealing four pairs of white Sensen's teeth.
For no reason, a shiver spread from her tail vertebrae all the way to her scalp.
She asked her son.
"What are they doing?"
"They're doctors. ”
"Doctor, is Yangyang sick?"
"Mom, it's you who is sick. ”
"What's wrong with me?"
"You're sick in the skull. ”
.........
Half an hour later.
Xu Dahua grimaced and sat alone at the dinner table.
A white coat went and returned.
"Sign it. ”
He placed a page of the table in front of Xu Dahua.
Xu Dahua didn't react, just stared at the plate of sweet burnt white. The cold fat meat was sprinkled with a layer of sugar, and a single bite was not touched.
The white coat smiled.
"Don't worry. ”
He said.
"The money has been credited to your card. ”
"Your shop, since then, no one has been harassed. ”
"Your wife can go to work in the group tomorrow. ”
"Your son can transfer to a key high school in the city and study in the top class. ”
Xu Dahua let out a faint "um".
On this form, which reads "Hongmao Psychiatric Hospital", he signed his name.
