The moment Xiong Yufang heard the death sentence, the whole world seemed to collapse in an instant, her body trembled violently like being struck by lightning, and her legs went limp, directly collapsing on the floor of the courtroom. Her face became as white as paper, without a trace of blood, bean-sized beads of sweat rolling down from the forehead, eyes full of despair and fear, as if she saw the god of death is approaching her step by step. Her lips slightly trembling, want to say something, but can only send out some weak whimpering, that sound in the silence of the courtroom seems particularly miserable.
The courtroom was solemn, and the people in the gallery showed expressions of relief and justice being done after hearing the verdict. Xiao Xue sat there, tears kept flowing, her eyes intertwined with pain and relief. The pain was that the children would never be able to come back, and the relief was that this devil had finally gotten his due punishment. She looked at Xiong Yufang collapsed on the ground in a sorry state, there is not a trace of pity in her heart, only endless hatred and firm belief in justice.
Xiong Yufang was taken away from the court by the bailiffs, her body can hardly stand up, can only rely on the bailiffs to help can barely walk. Her eyes were vacant and lifeless, and she moved her feet mechanically, as if she had lost her soul. On the way to the prison, the sound of the judge's judgment echoed in her mind, and the sound was like a sharp sword, deeply piercing her heart. She began to reflect on her own life, in order to satisfy her own greed and desire, she did whatever she could to cheat and hurt others, and finally embarked on this road of no return. She regrets that she did not cherish her ordinary and real life, but was blinded by vanity and money and committed an unforgivable crime.
In prison, Xiong Yufang was detained in a small, dark cell. The cell was filled with a pungent, musty odor, the walls were covered with moss and stains, a simple bed took up most of the space, and there was a foul-smelling toilet in the corner. Every day she could only see a small piece of sky through the narrow window, which seemed to be her only remaining link with the outside world, but was so distant and inaccessible.
She spent every day in pain and fear, and was often awakened at night by nightmares in which the faces of her children struggling in pain and the hateful eyes of Xiao Xue haunted her like ghosts, making it impossible for her to sleep. Her mental state is getting worse and worse, her body is gradually thinning, the original round face has become sunken, her eyes are full of fatigue and despair.
Xiong Yufang tried to change her fate by appealing, but her reasons for appealing were pale and weak, and could not stand up in front of the law and facts. After hearing the case, the court did not hesitate to reject her appeal and upheld the original verdict. This result plunged her into the abyss of despair, and she knew that her life had entered a countdown.
As the execution date approached, Xiong Yufang's heart was consumed by fear. She paced back and forth in her cell every day, anxious like a beast trapped in a cage. She constantly prayed that God would give her a chance to be a new person, even if she was allowed to spend the rest of her life in prison, she was willing. However, she knew that the crime she had committed was too serious and that the law was just and would not change its verdict because of her prayers.
In the last hours of her life, Xiong Yufang began to reflect on her humanity. She realized that her greed, selfishness and cruelty had disqualified her from being a human being, and that she had not only ruined the happiness of Xiao Xue's family, but also brought shame and pain to her own family. She thought of her parents and wondered how sad and disappointed they would be after learning what she had done; she thought of those friends she had once deceived and her heart was filled with guilt.
Finally, the day of execution arrived. The early morning sunlight poured through the cell window onto Xiong Yufang's haggard face, she woke up early, sat on the edge of her bed, and quietly waited for the final verdict of fate. The fear in her eyes was gone, replaced by a deep calmness, as if at this moment she had accepted her fate.
When the guards opened the door of the cell and led her towards the execution ground, her steps were unusually heavy but firm. She walked through the long corridor, and every step felt like she was walking through her own sinful life. At the execution ground, she saw the cold lethal injection equipment, and a wave of complex emotions welled up in her heart, but she didn't struggle, didn't resist, just lay there quietly and closed her eyes.
As the drug was slowly injected into her body, Xiong Yufang's consciousness gradually blurred, and images of her childhood surfaced in her mind, when she was innocent and full of bright visions for the future. However, she lost her way on the road of life and embarked on a path full of sin. Eventually, her life faded away in remorse and pain, ending her sinful life.
When the news of Xiong Yufang's death came, Xiao Xue silently went to the children's graves. She stood there, her eyes looking tenderly at the children's pictures on the tombstone, and said softly, "Babies, that bad man has been punished, you can rest in peace. Mommy will always love you and miss you forever." As the breeze blew by, her hair fluttered with the wind, as if the children were gently caressing her. She knew that although Xiong Yufang had died, the pain brought to her by the children's departure would never be erased, and she would carry this pain with her for the rest of her life. The story of Xiong Yufang has also become a warning, reminding people to cherish the beauty around them, stick to the bottom line of morality and law, and don't be blinded by greed and desire, or you will pay a heavy price.
