It was snowing. The temperature was low, and it was bitterly cold.
The cotton prison uniform Mrs. Tang wore offered no protection from the cold. Her nose was red from the chill, and her runny nose only got worse when she started crying.
"Mom, please don't cry."
Mrs. Tang burst into tears the moment she saw Tang Yuanxiao. He wasn't surprised, just pained.
"I don't want to cry either, I just can't help it..."
Tang Yuanxiao's attempt to comfort her only made Mrs. Tang more upset. "My life is so hard..."
Ever since she entered prison, life had been truly difficult for Mrs. Tang.
These days, the women who ended up in prison were rarely simple folk.
Mrs. Tang was an exception.
She was timid, ignorant, and incompetent. She bullied the weak and feared the strong, and on top of that, she was old.
She wasn't the oldest one there. Some inmates were older than her, but they had all been incarcerated long ago and were simply serving out long sentences.
