Every time Uwa saw someone now, she would repeat, "It's not me, it's really not me." But no one was willing to listen to her explanation. Beyondbear would also say a few words, "Auntie doesn't play with me anymore, I'm so bored." Uwa hugged him and said, "Then Mom will play with you." One morning, at breakfast, Uwa found a dead cockroach in her bowl and there were two in Beyondbear's bowl. She knew that the female prisoners had deliberately thrown them into their bowls. In particular, a middle-aged woman named Cathy hated Uwa and her son to the core, because she was the woman who was sentenced to an additional five years in prison. Uwa certainly didn't care, she just quietly took the cockroach out and put it in her pocket. Beyondbear was too small, and the cockroach was deformed by the soaking, so he couldn't recognize it. He thought it was delicious, so he put it in his mouth and bit it, and swallowed it into his stomach in a few bites. A female prisoner named Bates saw Beyondbear eating the cockroach and vomited all the food out of disgust. Beyondbear saw her vomiting everywhere, picked up the bowl and walked over and said, "Auntie, it's a waste to spit on the ground, spit in my bowl!"

Bates really took his bowl, looked up and saw a cockroach leg left at the corner of Beyondbear's mouth, and wanted to vomit again, this time vomiting all into the bowl. Beyondbear smiled and drank it, and the people around him vomited all over after seeing his amazing performance. Uwa hurriedly ran over and grabbed him and said, "Beyondbear, you can't drink this!"

"But I'm still not full!" Beyondbear screamed.

Recently, Uwa only dared to eat half every time, leaving half for Beyondbear to eat, because the child had a big appetite and was always hungry. In the past, there were prisoners in the prison to help her, and each of them gave a little, which was enough for her son to eat. Now this kind of welfare is gone, and she can only rely on herself. That afternoon, the female prisoners who were disgusted by Beyondbear were ready to unite and teach him a lesson. Bates was kinder and couldn't bear it, saying, "This is not good! Beyondbear didn't mean to do it. He's so young, what does he know?"

The middle-aged woman Cathy retorted, "He drank your vomit and disgusted us. You should also be responsible."

"Then you do it. I won't participate." Bates said and left. She wanted to remind Uwa. Uwa was washing clothes at this time, not by hand, but in a large washing machine. Beyondbear was also helping. He pushed all the clothes to the washing machine with a small cart. Uwa would sort the clothes, and coats and underwear were washed separately. At this time, Bates came in. She saw the mother and son were busy, and walked to Uwa and whispered, "Someone wants to teach Beyondbear a lesson. You have to watch him and don't let him run around." Uwa replied gratefully, "Thank you for your reminder. I will pay attention to it." Bates took out a piece of bread from her arms and handed it to Uwa, "This is for Beyondbear." Uwa looked at Bates's back as she walked away, and murmured to herself, "There are still kind people in this world!" After she sorted out the clothes, she found that Beyondbear still didn't come. Generally, he would come back every ten minutes or so. After waiting for a while, she still didn't see him. She was anxious and walked out of the laundry room to look for him. Walking through the long corridor, she came to the playground where the prisoners usually played. As soon as she stepped in, she heard shouting. She looked up and found that Beyondbear was blindfolded with a black cloth and chasing around alone. He shouted, "Come out! I will definitely catch you." When Uwa arrived, he hugged her and shouted in ecstasy, "You can't escape."

"What are you chasing alone, Beyondbear?" Uwa asked. Beyondbear took off the black cloth and saw that it was Uwa, "Mom, you are also here?" Uwa did not ask any more questions, "Let's go, go back to wash clothes, and don't run around next time." Then she took out the bread given by Bates and handed it to Beyondbear beside her, "Eat it!" Beyondbear took it and ate it up in a few bites, "Mom, do you have any more?"

"No, is it delicious?" Beyondbear lowered his head and did not speak. The two returned to the laundry room to continue working. This time Uwa did not let Beyondbear leave her sight, but only asked him to help throw the clothes into the washing machine here. A few days later, a woman ran to Uwa and said, "The police officer asked me to inform you that you can go out." Uwa was surprised and asked, "Really? but my time is not up yet!" The woman showed a weird expression on her face and said with a smile, "Of course it's true, I won't lie to you." Then she handed her a piece of paper as proof. Uwa could not recognize the words, but she felt more credible when she saw the paper. If she could read, she would know that it said, "You are a fool who gave birth to a little fool who only knows how to eat."

Since she had a conflict with the people in prison, this place is no longer as attractive to Uwa as before. Now no one talks to her, everyone is isolating her, and she dares not even go to her favorite TV show. The last time she went there, everyone glared at her. Although she is stupid, she can still feel the malice of others. This time, she was very happy to hear that she could get out. After getting out, she want to take her son to live in the mountains, so that she could stay away from the crowd. After sending the visitor away, she began to pack up and prepare to leave prison, "Beyondbear, we are about to get out, are you happy?"

"Will there be food when we get out? I always feel hungry here."

"As long as we work harder, there will be food!"

After hearing this, Beyondbear wanted to get out immediately, "Then let's go quickly!"

Finally, she packed up, took her clothes, and walked out holding her son's hand. The two walked through the cells one by one. Many people covered their mouths and laughed. Uwa also smiled and greeted them. She thought, "These people are happy that I was released from prison. It seems that they are all good people." They walked to the prison gate. A guard with a small head stopped them and said, "What are you doing? Why don't you go back?" Uwa hurriedly explained, "Officer, we are released from prison today. Please open the door."

"Released from prison? I haven't heard about this! Do you have proof?" Uwa took out the paper. The small head took it and looked at it angrily, "Are you crazy? You dare to make fun of me, go back!" Beyondbear wanted to go out and find food quickly. He came over and hugged the small head and threw him aside. The small head fell to the ground and his face was red with shame. The other guards laughed at his embarrassed appearance. The small head couldn't hold his face and took out a pistol and pointed it at Beyondbear's chest. "Bang!" Beyondbear was strong and after a long time, he fell down holding his chest. The blood instantly stained his clothes red. Uwa was shocked. She had not expected that things would develop like this. She squatted down and picked up Beyondbear and ran to the infirmary. The doctors in the prison only treated simple wounds and had never performed surgery on patients. Seeing that Beyondbear had lost too much blood and fainted, they immediately contacted an ambulance. It took about half an hour for the ambulance to arrive. Uwa wanted to go with them, but the prison staff firmly disagreed, so she had to give up. She returned to single room No. 86. Now she was the only one left. Looking at the empty room, she felt more lonely than ever.
