The old lady stared at Yan Mingli with sharp eyes: "My grandson really went out of town?"
"Yes..." Yan Mingli nodded.
"Let me ask you one last time!" The old lady's tone suddenly became louder and she glared at Yan Mingli: "Where has my grandson gone?"
"Mom...why don't you believe me? Xie Gang really went out of town and has been there for several days...I was in a hurry when I left and left my phone at home..." Yan Mingliqiang said with a smile to herself.
"Hmph!" The old lady snorted coldly: "Mingli, do you think that my mind is confused now that I'm old?"
"How could it be possible, Mom, I really didn't lie to you... Xie Gang really went to other places..." Yan Mingli said hurriedly.
The old lady took a deep breath: "Mingli, you are a filial child. You have been very sensible since you were a child. You rarely make me angry, and you never lie to me... Now let me ask you again: Where did my grandson go?
!”
"I..." Yan Mingli opened her mouth, and just when she was about to speak, she saw the old lady staring at her closely, her eyes very sharp... Yan Mingli shuddered, and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth...
…
The old lady didn't say anything, she just sat on the sofa and looked at Yan Mingli quietly.
Yan Mingli lowered her head, struggling in her heart. She didn't know what to do. She didn't deliberately deceive the old lady. She just didn't want the old lady to get angry... But now it seems that she can't hide it anymore...
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became depressing.
a long time……
Yan Mingli breathed out gently: "Mom...I can tell you the truth...but you have to promise me not to be anxious or get angry..."
The old lady nodded: "You say."
Yan Mingli bit her lip: "Xie Gang... he didn't go to other places... he... was sentenced and is now in prison..."
"What!" The old lady's eyes suddenly stared: "You... tell me again, what happened to my grandson!" The old lady had imagined many possibilities, but she never thought that her grandson would go to jail.
"Xie Gang...he broke the law...and was sentenced..." Before Yan Mingli could finish her words, she saw the old lady's eyelids rolled up and she fell down on the sofa. Yan Mingli was frightened and hurriedly got up.
He stepped forward to support the old lady, shaking her and pinching her: "Mom... what's wrong with you... Mom... don't scare me..."
After Yan Mingli’s tossing, the old lady finally regained her breath: “My grandson…” The old lady’s eyes turned red, and she burst into tears: “How could this happen… My grandson is so obedient, how could he do this?
What about illegal things..."
"Mom... it's all my fault. I was busy with work and neglected to educate Xie Gang, so Xie Gang got into trouble..." Yan Mingli choked up.
"I want to see my grandson." the old lady cried.
"Mom, it's too late today, let's go see Xie Gang tomorrow..." Yan Mingli advised.
"I want to see my grandson!" the old lady said firmly.
"Mom..." Yan Mingli was just about to persuade her again when she saw the old lady standing up. Yan Mingli hurriedly stretched out her hand to support the old lady: "Okay, okay, I will take you to see Xie Gang right now. Mom, please don't
Anxious, don't be anxious...I'll take you there right now..." Seeing the old lady's anxious and angry look, Yan Mingli immediately compromised, supported the old lady and left the house.
…
More than half an hour later, Yan Mingli and the old lady arrived at the prison.
When she saw Xie Gang for the first time, the old lady cried, so sad... She hugged Xie Gang and never let go: "Xiao Gang, why have you become like this... It hurts me so much.
ah……"
Xie Gang also burst into tears: "Grandma, please save me. I know I was wrong... I really know I was wrong...Grandma... I have had enough in prison, I really have had enough, every day.
I have to get up before dawn, drink a bowl of porridge, and then start working... I have to do dirty work and tiring work. I am really tired... There are also people in the same dormitory who snore at night, which is very noisy.
I can't sleep well at all... I really can't bear it anymore... Grandma..." Xie Gang became more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and his crying became louder and louder.
Hearing that Xie Gang was having such a bad life, the old lady was immediately in pain.
Yan Mingli stood aside, wiping her tears constantly. Seeing Xie Gang's increasingly haggard appearance, Yan Mingli felt extremely uncomfortable... They say that mother and son are connected, and her son is suffering in prison. How can Yan Mingli, as a mother, feel better?
of?
The half-hour visit to the prison soon came, and the prison guards walked directly into the visiting room and took away Xie Gang, who was crying bitterly.
"Don't take Xiaogang away...Xiaogang..." the old lady cried heartbreakingly.
Yan Mingli was also in tears and very sad.
…
After coming out of prison, the old lady asked Yan Mingli: "What's going on...Why is Xiaogang in jail!"
"This is what happened..." Yan Mingli briefly told what happened.
A flash of anger flashed in the old lady's eyes: "So, it's all because of that guy named Bai Dahe. I was going to jail just now!?"
Yan Mingli nodded: "Yes."
"Hateful!" the old lady said through gritted teeth: "Mingli, aren't you the county leader? Why don't you help Xiaogang get revenge?"
Yan Mingli smiled bitterly: "I also want to avenge Xiaogang, but...but that Bai Dahe also has a background. His father is the director of the Health Bureau. I...I can't take action at the moment..."
"In the final analysis, you are incompetent!" The old lady pointed at Yan Mingli's nose and cursed: "You are not worthy of being a mother at all!" After saying that, the old lady turned and left.
"Mom...where are you going..." Yan Mingli hurriedly chased after her and reached out to support the old lady.
"I don't need you to worry about it!" The old lady shook off Yan Mingli's hand, stopped a taxi and left.
"Mom, where are you going!" Yan Mingli was so anxious that she hurriedly stopped a taxi and chased the old lady. Unexpectedly, the taxi stopped just after it drove far. Yan Mingli suddenly became anxious:
"Why did you stop!"
"There's a red light ahead." The taxi driver explained.
"Can't stop! Hurry over and catch up with the taxi in front!" Yan Mingli said quickly.
"You want me to run a red light?" The taxi driver frowned: "I'm sorry, I won't do anything that violates traffic rules."
"Oh!" Yan Mingli threw out a stack of money: "Rush over and catch up with the taxi in front, and the money will be yours!"
The taxi driver glanced at the banknotes on the seat. There was a thick stack, at least two thousand yuan... To be honest, the taxi driver was really tempted, but let him run the red light... The taxi driver hesitated for a moment, and then
Shaking his head: "I still can't run a red light."
"You..." Yan Mingli was immediately furious.
"Running a red light will result in demerit points, a fine, and maybe even detention. If the company finds out that I ran a red light, they will definitely not let me drive a taxi again..." the taxi driver said: "The consequences of running a red light are very serious, and I will bear them."
No, so no matter how much money you give me, I will never run a red light!"
Seeing the old lady's taxi slowly disappearing in front of her, Yan Mingli's face turned livid with anger. She pointed at the taxi driver's nose and cursed: "You...you waste, if anything happens to my mother, I will definitely kill you."
I won’t let you go!” After saying that, Yan Mingli grabbed the money on the car seat, then opened the door and got out of the car.
"Crazy!" The taxi driver rolled his eyes. At this time, the light had turned green. As soon as the taxi driver stepped on the accelerator, the taxi drove out quickly.
…
It was already dark, a crescent moon hung high in the sky, and stars were scattered in every corner of the sky, shining with brilliant starlight.
"Crunch!"
A taxi stopped on the side of the road, the door opened, and an old lady in gray clothes got out of the car. This old lady was none other than Yan Mingli's old mother.
"Buzz!" As soon as the old lady got out of the car, the taxi drove away immediately and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
The old lady raised her head and glanced at the residential complex opposite, and finally focused on the stone sign next to the community. The stone sign was about two meters high and half a meter wide. On it were engraved with dragons and phoenixes the words "Health Bureau Family Home".
.
There is a small pavilion at the entrance of the community. There is a man in a security uniform sitting in the pavilion. At the moment, the man is drinking tea and reading a newspaper. He looks very comfortable.
"Hello." The old lady said hello to the man in the security uniform: "Excuse me...Does Bai Wei, the director of the Health Bureau, live here?"
The man nodded: "Yes, Director Bai lives here."
"Then...Does Director Bai's son Bai Dahe also live here?" the old lady continued to ask.
The man then nodded: "Yes, Director Bai and his family live here. Old lady, what can I do for you?"
"Oh, I have something to do with Director Bai's son. I wonder if Director Bai's son is at home?" the old lady asked.
"Yes, Director Bai's son didn't go out all day today." The man replied: "Old lady, what do you want to do with Director Bai's son?"
"It's a bit private, so I can't talk about it." The old lady smiled sheepishly: "Comrade, can you call Director Bai's son? Just say that someone is looking for him outside. I really have something urgent to do with Director Bai's son.
, a very urgent matter.”
"Then... okay, please wait a moment." The man picked up the phone, dialed a series of numbers, said a few words and then hung up.
"How is it?" the old lady asked hurriedly.
The man smiled: "Director Bai's son will come out soon, please wait a moment."
"Okay... okay... comrade, thank you..." The old lady thanked her.
The man smiled slightly: "It's a small effort, nothing worth mentioning."
After about a few minutes, a young man walked out of the community and asked, "Who is looking for me?"
The man sitting in the pavilion hurriedly pointed to the old lady standing next to him: "Oh, she is looking for you."
