The winter nights come very early, and with the howling cold wind, people who have been busy all day rush home as soon as they get off work.

After packing up his things and locking the utility room, the old man Wang Deshui also hurried back home.

"Old man, you are finally back!" As soon as he entered the door, a woman with gray hair and wrinkles came up to her and said. This is Wang Deshui's wife, Sun Cuihua. Although her name is very vulgar, she was very popular back then.

In Wang Deshui's hometown, she can be regarded as a beauty. Wang Deshui actually spent a lot of money to marry her home. Although the old couple had a lot of stumbling blocks in their lives, the relationship between husband and wife is still quite deep.

of.

Sun Cuihuā gave birth to him two sons and one daughter. Now the three children have left their own families, and they also gave birth to three grandchildren, two granddaughters and three granddaughters. Now the old couple is living a pretty good life.

Yes. But recently, the eldest son's family is not in peace, and the daughter-in-law often quarrels with the eldest son because the income cannot make ends meet.

It made them both very upset.

Wang Deshui frowned. After being married for many years, Hua Ke knew very well that when his wife spoke to him in such a tone, it was probably because there was something troublesome at home! "Old man, are you making trouble again?"

"No! There's no way we can survive this day!" Sun Cui said with a bitter face, "It's not the boss, it's the second child!"

"What's wrong with the second child?" Wang Deshui, who took off his coat, asked in surprise, "Isn't her family a good couple?" "The second child is here again!" Sun Cuihua sighed and said, "Her husband's family wants her to give birth to the child! But you also

You know, this national policy is not allowed! When she gave birth to her third child, the village fined her family a large amount of money, and now she is going to have a fourth child, how much of the fine will she have to pay?" Wang Deshui put the clothes on the hanger.

The hand hanging the clothes immediately trembled, and the clothes failed to hang on the hanger and fell to the ground. Sun Cui bent down and picked up the clothes from the ground, patted them, and hung them on the hanger again.

Wang Deshui let out a long sigh, sat down on the kang, took out his dry tobacco bag, stuffed it with shredded tobacco, and started smoking. Speaking of which, of the three children, the second one gave him the most headache after being married for so many years.

Why is my belly so unsatisfactory? After giving birth to a girl, the next baby is still a girl. I gritted my teeth and gave birth to a third baby. The family's net income for almost two years was fined. How come I'm pregnant again now that things are better?

On!

Not to mention that she is already very young, and giving birth to a child is risky. This is what Wang Deshui heard on the radio. This is the fine. Where can I raise the money? The child cannot be born into a bad household, right? The original fine for the mistress was two families.

More than a dozen families scraped together everything, and it took a lot of effort to get a household registration. I don’t know how many people asked my grandfather to tell my grandmother, but I was able to get the household registration when I was three years old.

"The family is so unsightly these days! The second child must be born again! For this reason, her mother-in-law has moved into the house." Sun Cuihua sat on the other side with her needlework and said, "Old man, are you hungry?

?Well, after the second brother came and told me about this in the afternoon, I had no idea what to do. In the evening, let’s just be simple and have some noodles, right?”

"You can eat anything!" Wang Deshui waved his hands impatiently. Now he really wasn't in the mood to eat at all.

Sun Cuihua put the plan on the kang and just after getting off the kang, Wang Deshui said again: "Old woman, she has long hair and short knowledge. Don't tell anyone what you just said, not even to the boss! The situation of the Nian family...

..., Alas!" Wang Deshui let out a long sigh and didn't say any more. The second son's husband's surname is Nian Nian. The old couple had five daughters and one son. They didn't have this little son until they were in their early 40s! It was natural that his own girl would marry him.

He has taken on the responsibility of passing on the family lineage to the Nian family! The elderly family is unwilling to cut off the roots. This is completely understandable to Wang Deshui, but if it continues to regenerate, when will it be the end? If the fourth child is still a girl, then what will happen?

Okay? Don’t let the child be born. The water thrown by the married girl is already someone else’s family. As a parent, it’s not easy for me to take care of this kind of thing!

But...if I give birth, what will I do with the fine?

Wang Deshui is almost heartbroken. The younger generation has grown up now. Raising a child now is no more like herding sheep than they did back then. Moreover, it is not only expensive to eat and wear, but also all kinds of messy things.

The expenses are also so high that it’s a headache! No matter whether it’s the daughters of the Nian family or the eldest son and the third son, they don’t have much money now. Not to mention whether they are willing to help the second son and his family, they just want to help.

It’s also powerless!

Wang Deshui himself is living a tight life now. If he hadn't been doing odd jobs in the county mental hospital and could get some money back every month, who would have been able to spend it with just the little output from the fields?

I used to be able to smoke cigarettes, but now I have no choice but to smoke dry pipes again? The old couple are now older and have all kinds of problems. There will be more places to spend money in the future.

Sun Cuihuā quickly put two bowls of hot tomato and egg noodles on the table. Looking at her old man's frown, Sun Cuihuā also understood in her heart that it was difficult to make money these days!

"Okay, okay, old man, don't think so much! Don't they say that you can straighten your boat when it reaches that point? It's useless for you to worry now, maybe it will be solved by then! Let's eat!"

Wang Deshui put out the dry pipe, knocked on the edge of the kang, put it aside, and picked up the bowl. But he had something on his mind, and the meal was not interesting.

"Old man, has anything new happened in your place recently?" Sun Cui said, trying to find something to say and distracting Wang Deshui. However, on weekdays, when Wang Deshui came back, he would also mention some things that happened in the county mental hospital.

Listening to the ridiculous things caused by mentally ill people is also one of Sun Cuihuā's great pleasures.

"There's nothing new, it's just that a lot of people have been imprisoned again!" Wang Deshui said dullly.

"A lot of people have been imprisoned again? Are they all mental patients?" Sun Cuihua said in surprise, "Why are there so many mental patients recently? Dozens of them must be imprisoned in the past two months? Does your mental hospital have such a big area?

?”

"Of course there is no such big land. Some mental patients with mild symptoms have asked their families to take them home!" Wang Deshui said gloomily. At this time, how could he have the time to talk to Sun Cui about this!

"Old man, isn't it about that? Sun Cuihuā grabbed Wang Deshui's arm and asked, "Is it all related to the Miao family?"

Wang Deshui was startled, quickly put down the chopsticks in his hand, covered his wife's mouth and said: "1, please keep your voice down, don't say this casually!"

Sun Cuihua turned her head, grabbed Wang Deshui's hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "Look at you, this is our home, not your mental hospital, who else can come to listen to Qiang Gen? The Miao family is wronged, who in this county doesn't

Know?"

Wang Deshui retracted his hand in embarrassment. Just as Sun Cuihuā said, he was indeed overreacting. This is his own home. If he wants to hear the couple talking, he has to climb over the wall and come in. In this courtyard

There were two dogs, and it was just dark, so even thieves were not that bold.

"What do you know, old woman! Alas, if you go to the county mental hospital and take a walk, you will understand that those people are worse off than dead now! Even the prisoners in the prison have a better life than them!

Forget it, what are you talking about to an old lady like you? It will only give you nightmares at night!" Wang Deshui looked a little confused and still said harshly.

"Hey, old man, tell me! I promise not to tell anyone outside!" Sun Cuihua came closer and asked in a low voice.

"If you want to hear it, I'll give you a general introduction!" Wang Deshui said. "First of all, many of these people were locked in a single room. There was nothing in the room except a bed, a broken table and a toilet.

No! There is no radio, no loudspeaker, not even a place to relax or go out for a meal. Even if you want to find someone to say a few words, you can't! "Then it will stifle people to death!" Sun Cuihuā said in disbelief, "I heard

He said that in prison, only prisoners who make mistakes are held in solitary confinement."

"Yes, after a day or two, many people have become... hard to describe, anyway, they look a little abnormal!" Wang Deshui nodded and said, "That's why I said they are worse than worse inside.

die!"

"What else?" Sun Cuihua asked.

"And? There's also their food. You haven't seen that those people eat so well that even pigs don't want to eat it! Every day they just have moldy rice mixed with sand or flour bought from who knows where.

There's no flour smell at all, a few pieces of pickles and a pot of water that's been there for who knows how many days, and that's their daily meal!" Wang Deshui said with a look of fear on his face.

"Isn't this harmful to people?" Sun Cuihua couldn't help but angrily said. She and all the old women in the countryside knew that if people eat and drink moldy rice and old water, they will definitely have physical problems. How can those in the mental hospital not know this?

"It's a harm to people! It makes your life worse than death. After you go out, even if you still have the courage to complain, you will have to lie at home for half a year!" Wang Deshui lowered his voice and said in his wife's ear, "And it's not just that, the mental hospital

There are many more guards here now, and these people are very cruel and ruthless. They will scold you when you open your mouth, and beat you when you reach out. Many people were knocked unconscious by them on the spot, and some even became incontinent!"

"These people are so vicious, aren't they afraid of the king's law?" Sun Cuihua gasped. This sounds like what those lawless red soldiers did during the Great Revolution.

Doing the same thing.

"Wang Fa? In our county, they are Wang Fa!" Wang Deshui let out a long sigh and said, "Old lady, I'm telling you this, but you must not spread it outside! Even if you don't consider the two of us who are old and weak, you will

We have to think about our grandchildren. There is no place for people to stay there! Moreover, these people are so bold that they can even bring back people who have gone to the provincial capital!"

There was also a look of fear on Sun Cuihua's face. Yes, even if she didn't think about the future of her husband and wife, she still had to think about her children and grandchildren. If she harmed them because of herself,

In these days of suffering, I couldn't close my eyes even if I died!

"When I said this, I remembered that at noon on an umbrella day, I was feeding a person there. There were only two of us in the house at that time. The person actually whispered to me that as long as I conveyed a message for him, he would give it to me.

One hundred thousand yuan!" Wang Deshui remembered what Fang Ya said to him at noon.

"One hundred thousand yuan? Shouldn't it be one hundred thousand Vietnamese dong?" Sun Cui curled her lips. A few years ago, China and Vietnam were at war. She also knew from other people's mouths that the Vietnamese currency is called Vietnamese dong, which is not cheap.

, one hundred yuan can be exchanged for thousands of yuan.

Sun Cuihua hesitated for a moment and said, "Who would believe it if I give you 100,000 yuan for sending a message? Is this person mentally ill?"

"Hey, it's hard to say! I heard the people inside said that they brought this man back from the provincial capital Fengyuan, and he doesn't seem to be a local. The man seemed to have been sent to a mental hospital inexplicably, and now he can't even

I don’t even know where he is or why he is being held. He was beaten several times for making trouble a few days ago, and now he is tied to a bed. He can’t even think about freedom except to go to the toilet!" Wang Deshui whispered.

Authentic "But looking at his appearance, I don't think he looks like an ordinary person!"

Although Wang Deshui felt that Fang Ya was not like an ordinary person, he did not think that what Fang Ya said was true. It costs one hundred thousand yuan to spread a message. What is one hundred thousand yuan? Wang Deshui can get out of a mental hospital in one year

Earning more than one thousand yuan is a reasonable income for someone of his age in the county. One hundred thousand yuan is almost as much as what he would earn after working for a hundred years!

Even if the rich households in the county can earn 10,000 yuan a year, they are still a minority. Just spread the word and give so much money. Isn't this a lie?

How did Fang Ya know that Wang Deshui had turned himself into a liar for this reason? He probably wanted to cry to death! Not to mention one hundred thousand yuan, he gave all the dividends he received in a year to Wang Deshui. As long as he could

He was willing to escape from this place! He was just afraid of scaring Wang Deshui, so he offered him 100,000 yuan!

"Isn't this a crime? Why are outsiders bothering them?" Sun Cuihua sighed helplessly and said, "Let them kidnap us like this. Why should the family be so anxious?"

"Yes, what a crime!" Wang Deshui also sighed. Although he sympathized with Fang Ya in his heart, it would not work if he lost his current job because of Fang Ya. After all, if there is no such thing

After getting a job in a mental hospital, the Wang family was in trouble.
