Chapter 1575 1577 [serving sentence]

  Because Wang Li is pregnant, she was given special care and was allowed to release on bail pending trial, so she was able to go out.

  Xiang Nan still has to be kept in the detention center, pending appeal.

  After Wang Li went out, she helped Xiang Nan find a lawyer to file a lawsuit, actively responded to the lawsuit, and tried to reduce the sentence by a few years.

  Two months later, the trial ended and the lawsuit was formally filed.

  Because Xiang Nan surrendered himself, showed meritorious service and atonement, and returned part of the stolen money, he was finally sentenced to five years in prison for the crime of theft and extortion.

  Wang Li was sentenced to three years in prison and five years of probation because she was an accomplice, surrendered herself, performed meritorious service, and was pregnant.

  As for Uncle Li, because there is a murder case and he is the leader of the gang, the verdict of the first instance is the death penalty. Although he was dissatisfied and wanted to appeal, but basically he would not survive.

  After the first trial, Xiang Nan did not appeal, but directly chose to go to prison to serve his sentence.

  …

   After entering the prison, at the beginning, there were indeed people who found fault.

   After all, those who will go to prison are not good people. Moreover, bullying the good and fearing the evil is also a human nature, and it cannot be avoided anywhere.

  However, Xiang Nan's kung fu is not for nothing. Three strikes, five cuts, two, and those who dared to stab, he will be subdued by him.

  So he is in the cell, not to mention tyranny, at least no one dares to bully him.

  In addition, Xiang Nan has several medical skills, and because the prisoners in the prison have to work every day, and the intensity is very high, headaches, brain fever, backaches and leg pains are common.

  Xiang Nan helped them press a few times, which often made them feel much better. Therefore, despite the combination of kindness and strength, Xiang Nan's status in the prison is still very high.

  …

   After entering the prison, Xiang Nan also has to work.

  At the beginning, I was responsible for assembling electronic parts and worked ten hours a day. For him, the labor intensity is not too great. Of course, boredom is certain. However, fortunately, Xiang Nan inherited Ernst & Young's hard-working spirit, so it was not too difficult.

  Later, Xiang Nan applied to go to the prison kitchen. At the beginning, he was only responsible for washing vegetables and rice, and later he officially became a master chef.

  Because of his excellent cooking skills, ingredients such as cabbage and potatoes can be fried with a different flavor in his hands, so he is very popular among the inmates.

   And kitchen work is much easier than assembling electronic parts. Moreover, guarding the pot and stove, naturally there is no shortage of food, so it is considered a pretty job.

  Xiang Nan was also taken care of because of his outstanding performance and meritorious service.

  In addition to working, Xiang Nan also writes novels in exchange for some remuneration.

  On the one hand, prison life also requires consumption, buying daily necessities, non-staple food, etc.; on the other hand, after going out, it also costs money.

  Even if Xiang Nan behaved well and his sentence was commuted every year, he would have to stay in prison for at least two years. After going out, if there is no money, it is absolutely impossible.

   Therefore, Xiang Nan has to find ways to earn more money, so as not to leave his pockets empty when he goes out.

  His first novel, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", was sent to the magazine "Legends of the Ancient Times".

  In addition to writing novels, Xiang Nan also applied for several Chinese medicine patents.

  He inherited Xilaile's medical skills and mastered many ancient prescriptions that have long been lost, which can be used to apply for Chinese medicine patents.

  …

   "Are you okay inside?" Wang Li came to visit.

   "Don't worry, I'm fine." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Two days ago, I was rated as an active reformer, and my sentence will probably be commuted soon."

   "That's good." Wang Li nodded, "I'll bring you some food, and the prison guards will hand it over to you later."

   "I ate very well inside, so I don't have to bother so much in the future." Xiang Nan smiled, "How are you and the child? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

   "It's okay, I went to the hospital for an examination two days ago, and the child is very healthy." Wang Li said again.

   "That's good." Xiang Nan nodded, "You can rest assured to raise your baby and wait for me to come out."

   "Okay." Wang Li agreed, "By the way, Hu Li's second trial has been sentenced, and he is still sentenced to death. He probably will die."

   "Well, he deserves the reward." Xiang Nan nodded and said.

  …

  Subsequently, Xiang Nan received a commutation of his sentence, and his sentence was shortened by eight months, which made the inmates in the prison area envious.

   At the same time, his novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was officially included in "Legends of the Ancient and Modern Times: Fantasy Edition". The price per thousand words reached fifty yuan, which was not high, but it was definitely not low either.

  Like other inmates in the same cell, they assemble electronic parts every day, and their hands are calloused. The daily salary is less than ten yuan.

  Xiang Nan kept all the remittance slips he received, and handed them to Wang Li to take out.

  Wang Li didn't expect Xiang Nan to have this ability.

   "How can you still make so much money?" She looked at the remittance slips, each of which was several thousand yuan, and the sum totaled tens of thousands of yuan.

   You know, in 2004, the national average salary was less than thirteen thousand. Xiang Nan has earned tens of thousands of royalties in a few months, which is really a lot in her opinion.

   "If you want to write the book earlier, we don't have to be thieves." She said regretfully again.

  I knew that writing books could make so much money, so why worry about being a thief.

   "I was bored in prison, thinking wildly, so I came up with those stories." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "You take out this money and use it to live well."

   "No, I still have money." Wang Li waved her hand and said, "I'll save it for you until you come out."

   "Don't waste your time, don't wrong yourself or your child." Xiang Nan repeatedly urged.

  …

  Time passed quickly, and two months later, Wang Li successfully gave birth to a baby girl.

  Xiang Nan named her Wang Su, which means that she is already innocent.

   As a father, he has repaid all the fruits of grace, and she can be a clean and honest person in the future.

  After Wang Su was born, Wang Li raised her carefully and waited for Xiang Nan to be released from prison.

  During this period, Xiang Nan continued to receive commendations for his outstanding performance, and his sentence was commuted because of his successful application for Chinese medicine patents many times.

  Finally, two years later, Xiang Nan was released early, ending his prison life.

   "In the future, we must be down-to-earth, be a clean person, and don't come back again." The prison guard told Xiang Nandao.

   "Thank you for discipline, I will never make mistakes in the future." Xiang Nan said sincerely.

  Out of the prison, Wang Li and Wang Su were waiting for him at the prison gate.

   Seeing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help but quickly stepped forward, hugged Wang Li affectionately, and hugged his daughter Wang Su in his arms.

  The little girl accepted her life, struggling and crying in Xiang Nan's arms, very uncooperative.

   "The child is still young, it will be fine in a few days." Seeing this, Wang Li said quickly.

  Xiang Nan nodded.

  …

  After being released from prison, Xiang Nan and Wang Li left the local area and moved to the capital.

  On the one hand, the living conditions here are better; on the other hand, there are more people here, and all of them are strangers. No one knows them, and no one cares that Xiang Nan has been in prison before.
