Xiang Wenxin also became a bit concerned and poured some more tea for Liu Dongmei.
Liu Dongmei hurriedly thanked her politely, then sighed lightly, shook her head, and said bitterly, "Mr. Liu, Brother Dong Yuan is in prison now..."
"What?"
Liu Zhizhong nearly jumped out of his seat, exclaiming.
Xiang Wenxin almost exclaimed at the same time, "What's going on? Little Zhongzi, your best buddy is actually in prison? Hey, Liu Dongmei, how many years was your cousin sentenced to?"
Liu Dongmei replied, "It was originally a death sentence with a one-year reprieve, but then it was commuted to life imprisonment after meritorious service. When I visited him in prison a while ago, he said he'd try to earn merit to reduce his sentence, hoping to get out in 15 years."
"What? Death penalty?"
Liu Zhizhong and Xiang Wenxin really exclaimed in unison, then glanced at each other, looking quite incredulous.
