Chapter 403 - 24: Death Row Inmate Zhang Jian
"Sister, have you made a decision?" Han Shouzhen asked when she came over to find Lin Xiaoguai.
During this time, Han Shouzhen and Xu Ji had really stirred up a storm; the mother and son who always shared a close bond had seemed to make up for decades of quarrels in just this one instance, with arguments and cold wars intermittently causing headaches not only for Wan Quan but also for Lin Xiaoguai and other close friends and family who were watching.
"How could I make any decision?" Han Shouzhen said irritably, "That damn boy won’t listen to reason, so I can only think of other methods."
"Other methods?" Lin Xiaoguai raised an eyebrow.
She was probably the person who most hoped that the mother and son would come to an agreement. If Han Shouzhen continued to "abandon her duties" like this, the management of the farm would all fall on her shoulders.
Han Shouzhen nodded, moved close to her, and whispered, "Ask Shoulu, can he find a way to extend the reprieve of that volunteer’s death sentence? Even six months or a few months would do. That way, if I can find another volunteer, Ping’an wouldn’t be so stubborn."
"Why don’t you go ask Big Brother?" Lin Xiaoguai thought her method was not bad, as it didn’t hurt feelings and was effective.
"That won’t work," Han Shouzhen shook her head, "He is very rigid; he definitely wouldn’t agree to use his position for personal matters. Shoulu is better; he knows how to be more flexible."
