Chapter 2426: Really Afraid I Won't Survive Today
Ma Lan never dreamed that the Chinese compatriots who had been fawning over her and following her around respectfully would turn into this kind of face.
She couldn't get over it in her heart and blurted out: "Xiao Zhang, we can't be so heartless in doing things, right? When you knelt in front of me and cried and begged me to help you out, how did I do it? Now that I need your help, you actually let me roll as far as I can. Do you still have a conscience?"
The woman called Xiao Zhang glared at Ma Lan with an ugly face and said coldly: "Don't toast or drink fine wine, right? If you don't roll, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Ma Lan was very indignant, and couldn't help but grit her teeth and say: "You want to be rude to me? I helped you so much, do you still want to hit me?!"
Ma Lan's angry rebuke attracted the attention of many people in the prison.
Many people knew that these Chinese female prisoners had been following Ma Lan, so many people who wanted to do something to Ma Lan were also observing the performance of these women to see if they would cover for Ma Lan.
Xiao Zhang also saw that everyone around was paying attention to her.
She didn't want these people to misunderstand that she would help Ma Lan, so her face turned black, and she slapped Ma Lan and cursed loudly: "Damn, really don't toast or drink fine wine! Hurry up and roll! If you don't roll, I'll slap you again!"
Ma Lan never dreamed that this woman who had knelt in front of her and begged for help would slap her when she needed help the most.
Covering her face, tears were already swirling in her eyes, and she choked and questioned: "Xiao Zhang, even if you don't look at the fact that I helped you before, you should at least pull me because we are compatriots, right? Even if you don't pull me, there's no need to kick me while I'm down at this time, right?!"
Xiao Zhang said impatiently: "Who the hell is your compatriot? I have an American passport! Unlike you, you don't even have a green card, and you're still on a tourist visa!"
"You..." Ma Lan only felt that her whole heart was cold to the extreme.
She really didn't expect that the people she helped would become so vicious!
Desperate and collapsed, Ma Lan's tears flowed down like a broken string.
She thought she was heartless enough, but she didn't expect to meet someone even more shameless than herself.
At this moment, she realized how ridiculous she was before.
What "Ghost-Fear-Bedford-Hills," it was just a fox pretending to be a tiger.
And those who were respectful to her before were not really afraid of her or respected her.
In the end, she was the real joke.
Seeing Ma Lan in tears in front of her, Xiao Zhang said viciously: "If you want to cry, roll to the side. Don't cry in front of me. Otherwise, don't say those Americans want to fix you, I won't let you have a good time!"
Ma Lan was full of resentment, but she could only turn around silently and hide in an empty corner of the dining hall.
At this time, a Chinese woman a few years younger than her sat in front of her and handed a fried chicken leg to her, saying: "In this kind of place, you can't believe anyone, especially when you are out, you must be vigilant."
Ma Lan said aggrievedly: "I really didn't expect these people to be shameless to this extent."
The woman smiled and said lightly: "What's this... you've been in the United States for too short a time. If you stay longer, anything can happen."
As she spoke, she asked Ma Lan: "Do you know how I got in?"
Ma Lan shook her head and asked blankly: "How did you get in?"
The woman smiled bitterly: "Because of selling hairy crabs..."
Ma Lan asked puzzled: "How can selling hairy crabs sell you into prison? Inferior quality? Or short weight?"
The woman shook her head and said: "You don't know, hairy crabs belong to invasive species in the United States. Selling hairy crabs here is essentially illegal."
Ma Lan asked in surprise: "It's illegal and you still sell it?"
The woman smiled bitterly: "Everyone used to sell it secretly, and they were all sold to Chinese compatriots. You know, we Chinese love to eat hairy crabs, especially when we are in the United States, we miss this hometown taste even more, so we found some channels to import a batch. On the one hand, we can earn some money, and on the other hand, we can help compatriots find the feeling of home. And this kind of business is done privately, only traded in the Chinese circle, and it has always been very safe..."
Ma Lan hurriedly asked: "Since it has always been very safe, how could something happen?"
The woman sighed: "I imported a batch of hairy crabs some time ago. Because the quality was good and the price was not expensive, it sold very quickly. A Chinese-American heard about it and drove a long way to buy it, but when he came, it was sold out. He was angry and called the police, and then the police arrested me."
Ma Lan was stunned and blurted out: "There can be such a thing?!"
"Yes." The woman laughed at herself and said: "So just like I told you just now, you must be vigilant at all times in the United States, and don't trust anyone easily."
As she spoke, she lowered her voice and said seriously: "Before you helped them out, I wanted to find a chance to remind you, but I never got a chance to talk to you. Those people are not at all like what they told you, that they were bullied. In fact, they have always wanted to grab the position of the prison boss from that American woman, but because the number of people was a bit short and the means were not as ruthless as the other party, they have always been suppressed by the other party and have never been able to succeed."
"Later, they saw that they couldn't beat the other party, so they ran to beg you to help them out. You directly asked someone to beat that American woman to disability, and they successfully became the boss."
Hearing this, Ma Lan trembled with anger and gritted her teeth: "Damn, these people's acting skills are really good! They knelt in front of me and cried that the American woman had always bullied them, and even didn't treat them as human beings. I thought they were really bullied and felt they were pitiful, so I helped them..."
The woman opposite smiled slightly and said: "There are not many pitiful people who can get in here, most of them deserve it! Just take it as a lesson, and you must keep your eyes open when looking at people in the future."
Ma Lan felt ashamed and couldn't help but choke: "If I had known they were so shameless, even if they died in front of me, I wouldn't have reached out!"
As she spoke, Ma Lan sighed: "If I had known it would be like this, even if I was beaten to death, I wouldn't have been so high-profile... Now the entire Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, I don't know how many people want to kill me, I'm really afraid I won't survive today..."
Ma Lan was suddenly overwhelmed with shame and couldn't help but choke up, "If I had known they were so shameless, I wouldn't have reached out to help even if they died in front of me!"
As she spoke, Ma Lan sighed, "If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have been so high-profile back then... Now, I don't know how many people in the entire Bedford Hills Correctional Facility want me dead. I'm really afraid I won't survive today..."
