NOVEL WEB Chapter 36
Ten o'clock in the evening!
He Daqing hurried and finally returned to the courtyard before the third uncle Yan Fugui closed the door. As soon as he pushed his bicycle into the house, he saw his stupid son He Yuzhu coming to greet him with a sad face.
"Dad, you're back!"
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Alas, it's all because of the Jia family. Fortunately you're not here tonight, otherwise our house would be bustling." He Yuzhu made a bitter face, shook his head and sighed.
"Jia family?"
He Daqing heard this and thought about it for a while. He almost knew what was going on and asked,"It's smashed. Has the verdict on Jia Zhang come out?"
"I was released and sentenced to thirteen years and seven months. I heard from an old man that I might be sent to the Great Northern Wilderness for labor reform."
He Yuzhu told me what he knew with a tangled look on his face.
"Thirteen years and seven months?"
"Sent to the Great Northern Wilderness for labor reform?"
He Daqing was stunned when he heard the result, and frowned,"It shouldn't be, according to Jia Zhang's situation, even if she really went to jail, she would not be sent to the Great Northern Wilderness."
Of course, after prisoners are imprisoned, they will undergo labor reform, such as being sent to a farm to do some heavy physical labor. As long as they do a good job, they can get a certain reduction in sentence. The reduction of sentences for criminals depends on points, which are called assessment points and work points in official language.
For criminals, labor is to earn assessment points, to earn points for sentence reduction, and to earn points to go home.
But in Jia Zhang's situation, no matter how much he is sent to a farm, it is impossible for him to be sent to the Great Northern Wilderness.
"The uncle said that Jia Zhang should have been sentenced to eighteen years."
"However, there was a policy that if you were willing to go to the Great Northern Wilderness Farm, you could reduce your sentence by five years, and only be sentenced to thirteen years and seven months. In addition, the Great Northern Wilderness was being reclaimed, so it was easier to earn work points, reduce your sentence, and have enough to eat, so Jia Zhang applied to go to the Great Northern Wilderness."
Sha Zhu didn't think much about it, and directly repeated Yi Zhonghai's words, explaining why Jia Zhang would go to the Great Northern Wilderness.
"Eighteen years, Beidahuang Farm, can the sentence be reduced by five years?"
When He Daqing heard this answer, he didn't know what to say.
Given the conditions in Beidahuang at that time, could Jia Zhang go there and come back alive?
Miserable!
It was really too miserable!
You know, according to later records, in the 1950s, in order to open up the Beidahuang, more than 50,000 pioneers were buried in that black soil.
This is still data on paper, and no one knows the real data.
Anyway, according to later records, since before the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1947, nearly six million officers and informed persons have participated in the development and construction of Beidahuang. It took almost half a century to turn Beidahuang into Beida Granary, which greatly alleviated the national food shortage.
Officers and informed persons are still like this, not to mention the prisoners who were exiled to Beidahuang Farm.
"However, this shouldn't be the case. Didn't Xia Gongan say before that Jia Zhang's case would be sentenced to ten years at most? How come it suddenly became eighteen years?"
He Daqing looked curious.
The day before yesterday, he had specifically asked Xia Gongan how many years Jia Zhang would be sentenced to.
He clearly remembered that according to Xia Gongan, Jia Zhang's theft had just reached the level of a huge amount, and he could only be sentenced to ten years at most.
In addition, He Daqing also wrote a letter of forgiveness to Jia Zhang, which could reduce his sentence by about 20% to 40%.
In this way, Jia Zhang could only be sentenced to seven or eight years at most.
How did it suddenly become eighteen years?
He also took the initiative to apply for a five-year sentence reduction by going to the Great Northern Wilderness.
How does this sound a bit unreliable?
"Well, the uncle didn't say anything specific about this matter. He just said that Jia Zhang had a criminal record, committed other crimes, was reported by someone, etc. The details are unclear."
"As for Jia Zhang's application to go to the Great Northern Wilderness, it seems that she applied for it herself, and after applying, her sentence was directly reduced by five years."
He Yuzhu touched the back of his head, saying that he didn't know much, most of which he heard from the uncle Yi Zhonghai, and he didn't know the details.
He Daqing heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then asked:"Where is the letter of understanding? Is the letter of understanding I wrote to Jia Zhang useless?"
"It shouldn't be useful, right?" He Yuzhu said uncertainly,"The eldest master didn't mention this. If the letter of apology you wrote to Jia Zhang was useful, he would definitely mention it. Now that he didn't mention it, it is very likely that it didn't work."
"By the way, what about Jia Dongxu? What did he say?"
His silly son kept calling her uncle and never mentioned Jia Dongxu.
Could it be that Jia Dongxu didn't care about Jia Zhang's situation at all?
This seems impossible.
He Yuzhu was also stunned when he heard this question. Then he thought about it and said,"Jia Dongxu didn't seem to say anything. Even Jia Zhang's affairs seemed to be handled by the uncle. When I saw Jia Dongxu tonight, I felt that he was a different person."
"You said that since such a big thing happened to the Jia family, will Jia Dongxu hate our family?"
"If he wants to take revenge on our family, will he target Yu Shui?"
Sha Zhu said worriedly.
He was not worried about himself and He Daqing.
Because with Jia Dongxu's small physique, either of them could hold him down with one hand. He was just afraid that Jia Dongxu would target his younger sister He Yu Shui.
He Daqing also thought of this, rubbed his head with a headache, and said:"How about this, I will take Yu Shui to live in Zhengyangmen tomorrow to see if I can transfer directly there, as for you...……"
At this point, He Daqing hesitated and said,"You are already grown up and can make your own decisions. Do you want to live with us at Zhengyangmen for a while, or live in this courtyard by yourself?"
Upon hearing the question, Sha Zhu chose to stay in the courtyard without any hesitation.
"What's the choice? Of course I'll stay in this courtyard."
"As for Jia Dongxu, even though he is older than me, I can beat him down with one hand. If he doesn't bother me, it's fine. But if he really bothers me, I will make him pay."
"Besides, Zhengyangmen is too far from the steel mill, about ten miles away. It is not convenient to move there, so it is better to live in this courtyard."
Sha Zhu said firmly.
What he was thinking was that after He Daqing moved away, he could take Sister Huairu to live in the courtyard.
Two rooms, one for him and one for Sister Huairu, just right.
Isn't this better than moving to Zhengyangmen with He Daqing?
Thinking that he would be able to live with Sister Huairu soon,
Sha Zhu felt happy!...............................
