Tian Jing narrowed her eyes. Did Li Zhengguo forget to tell her this? Or did he not care enough about his husband?
"Just wait, I'll call back and ask. We must clarify this matter."
"Don't use your ideal man as my husband, it's disgusting."
Zhao Xiaofang smiled proudly: "Okay, I'll wait for you. Anyway, today's visiting hours are irregular."
Tian Jing borrowed the prison's landline phone to call back.
Li Zhengguo was supervising the work in the back mountain.
Accountant Zhou told her to call again in half an hour while he went to call someone.
Ouyang Meihua asked Tian Jing who to call, but Tian Jing only said that she wanted to ask Li Zhengguo something personal.
Half an hour later, Tian Jing called again, and the phone was picked up immediately: "Tiantian, what happened?"
Hearing the panting voice on the other side, the awkwardness in Tian Jing's heart disappeared, and she told her husband what Zhao Xiaofang said.
Li Zhengguo denied: "I was specially recruited when I was fifteen years old, but I have never saved a person who fell into the water, let alone a woman. I still want to commit myself to a woman."
Tian Jing didn't expect that there would be such a mistake: "Did she just imagine it?"
Li Zhengguo agreed: "It's possible that she felt betrayed by her family... Wait, let me think about it."
"I remember that after Uncle Li came to ask for his spot as a soldier but did not receive it, Li Weiguo came to me and said that he envied soldiers most, and asked me to lend him his clothes, but I didn't."
"I went out for a trip the next day, and when I came back I found that the clothes were not there. I quickly asked my mother, and she said she had borrowed them from Weiguo."
"I ran to Li Weiguo to ask for it. The clothes were drying in the yard. He said he had them washed because he had worn them."
"I pulled out the wet clothes and came back and asked my mother to wash them for me again."
"You also know that it's been so long ago. If I hadn't mentioned my family just now, I really wouldn't be able to remember this."
"Grrrrrrrr."
Tian Jing smiled so hard that her teeth disappeared.
"Hahahaha." Ouyang Meihua, who was eavesdropping, burst into laughter:
"Come on, I'll accompany you in to see her face."
Barley and wheat sighed, how come they have such a biological mother?
We rescheduled the meeting and waited for more than half an hour.
"Let's ask clearly." Tian Jing nodded: "Li Zhengguo is indeed a special recruit. He joined the army at the age of fifteen."
Zhao Xiaofang was very excited: "Then does he still remember me?"
"He remembers..." Seeing Zhao Xiaofang smiling happily, Tian Jing continued: "He remembers that his clothes were borrowed by Li Weiguo..."
"...This is the truth. If you don't believe it, you can ask to see Li Weiguo. Anyway, you are in the same unit."
"No! No!"
Zhao Xiaofang shouted angrily: "You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense! You are jealous of me, you are jealous that I have a physical relationship with Li Zhengguo, and you deliberately lied to me."
"Quiet!"
The baton in the prison guard's hand hit the wall, making a snapping sound.
Zhao Xiaofang turned around: "I want to see Li Weiguo, I want to see Li Weiguo from the male prison."
When the prison guards saw that Zhao Xiaofang was agitated, they could only pull her back.
Zhao Xiaofang struggled: "Tian Jing, please don't leave. I'm going to see Li Weiguo right now. I must figure this out, or I'll die in peace."
Seeing Zhao Xiaofang's collapsed appearance, Ouyang Meihua no longer wanted to watch the excitement:
"Why do I suddenly feel so pitiful about her? If Li Weiguo did it unintentionally, then forget it."
"If it was intentional, it would be too insidious. Let's just wait and don't let her rest in peace."
We waited in the car until one o'clock in the afternoon, and a prison guard came to inform Tian Jing to go in to see someone again, but Tian Jing was alone.
This time, I met two people at once.
Zhao Xiaofang and Li Weiguo were each guarded by a prison guard.
Zhao Xiaofang's complexion was sluggish.
Li Weiguo was in good spirits. When he saw Tian Jing, he smiled very happily:
"Tian Jing, I'm very grateful that you came to see me. My sentence has been commuted and I can be out in two years."
"I heard that things are changing rapidly outside, and the village is developing well. When I go out, I will be a down-to-earth person."
Tian Jing waved to him: "You know that I am not here to see you, but you can still say such things, which shows how thick-skinned you are."
"I just want to know who saved Zhao Xiaofang back then. Looking at Zhao Xiaofang's appearance, I already know it without asking."
"Zhao Xiaofang, do you have anything else to say? If not, I will leave."
Zhao Xiaofang raised her head, her eyes filled with dead silence:
"Say sorry to Li Liguo and Da Maimai for me. I failed them."
Tian Jing raised her eyebrows: "No more?"
Zhao Xiaofang shook his head.
Tian Jing glanced at Li Weiguo and asked Zhao Xiaofang: "You didn't ask him why? Aren't you going to find something to expose him?"
"You're about to execute it, and he's about to leave. Are you willing to do it?"
"If it hadn't been for his misleading, you would be the one living a happy life with Li Liguo now."
"I don't believe that he really wanted to save you unintentionally. Think about Zhang Fangcao."
"I'm leaving. I wish you a good journey."
The two prison guards looked at each other and each took away the prisoner they were guarding.
After returning to the car, Ouyang Meihua asked.
Tian Jing told her truthfully.
Ouyang Meihua sighed: "She is so pitiful, even more pitiful than Zhang Fangcao."
Tian Jing disagreed: "Poor people must be hateful. Let's drive."
…
When Li Zhengguo learned that Li Weiguo had his sentence commuted by three years, he smiled: "I arranged it. Don't worry, he won't be able to get out."
Before the New Year, the village was notified:
Li Weiguo leaked internal prison information and was sentenced to ten years. The previous reward for commutation was because he used opportunism to deceive the prison guards, so the reward was invalid.
Zhang Fangcao behaved well in prison and was sentenced to a five-year sentence reduction. He will be released from prison next year.
Tian Jing was relieved, she really really hated Li Weiguo.
Li Weikang, who is already married and has children, took his baby to the prison to see his father:
"Dad, if you don't come out, we can pretend you're not here."
"After you come out, your grandson will be criticized."
"If we hadn't developed well in Kushan and had a father like you, I wouldn't have been able to marry a wife, and Weiwei would still be single."
"You said you had food and drink in prison, what else do you want to do when you come out? All you bring to us is harm."
"In order to get out of prison early, you can actually commit fraud. I also admire you."
"Okay now, you have to sit for another fifteen years. After fifteen years, you will be almost sixty. Wouldn't you be a disaster for us if you come out?"
"In the past ten years or so, the face I finally earned back was suddenly torn off by you, thrown to the ground and trampled on."
"I only have one hope, that is, I hope you will continue to work hard, continue to increase the punishment, and die in prison."
"Don't worry, I will definitely come to collect the body and bury it in your ancestral grave."
"Get out!" Li Weiguo was furious.
After being sentenced to a longer sentence and unable to find any evidence to clear his grievances, he still comforted him when his eldest son brought his grandson to visit him.
Who knew that the eldest son was here to persuade him to die in prison? How could he endure it?
Li Weikang coaxed his frightened son: "Look at you, the first time you brought harm to my son, how can you do it in the future? I'm leaving, just stay well."
Li Weiguo "..."
If I had known earlier, I should have drowned this unfilial son.
