Chapter 24
It is indeed a miracle that a man like me, who has long been accustomed to seeing different things and thinking differently, can fall in love with a fixed woman so reborn. This miracle should first be attributed to An Xin's personality. The role of moving, which shows that the appeal and attraction of good moral qualities to people exists in any era.Second, and equally important, in my interactions with An Xin, she always gives me some unexpected surprises, which keeps me fresh and curious about her.For example, there is an incredible distance between her appearance and her experience, and there is also an unimaginable difference between her inner character and her outer temperament.These distances and differences are the unique charm of Anxin!
Just as I never expected that a girl like her, who looks weak and watery, can draw such smooth and plump legs in mid-air, I also did not expect that under that pure and kind face, there is also a woman lurking. The courage and ingenuity that ordinary people can't match.I can only attribute this to the professional training she has received and the thrilling extraordinary experience.After all, she has withstood a life-and-death test, and her past career and experience often make me admire involuntarily.
What surprised me the most about An Xin was that she rescued me alone after I was imprisoned.At that time, I cut off communication with her in prison, and I didn't even know her whereabouts and whereabouts. If I knew that she was still running around persistently, I would have persuaded her to stop.I know that this is a "mountain of ironclad" lawsuit that no one can overcome. If a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, it may be futile and waste money. It is like throwing money into a bottomless pit without even hearing a sound.I know that money is equal to survival and survival for An Xin and Xiaoxiong mother and son. This is a very realistic thing.
And I thought, peace of mind has no money.What can you do without money these days?
Probably at the time when my appeals were ignored and I was in despair, An Xin rushed back to Beijing from Qingmian with a huge sum of 28 yuan.She first found the female lawyer I used to use, paid the female lawyer enough money, and then planned with her how to overturn the original judgment.They first went to Liu Minghao, and if they were moved by emotion, they would be reasonable, and if they were not reaped by reason, they would be lured to benefit, and finally they finally opened the gap from Liu Minghao.Liu Minghao has a loyal side, but also a side that sees profit and forgets righteousness, so in fact, love and reason, righteousness and benefit all played a certain role in him.On the premise that his lawyer guaranteed that his original testimony in court would never be accused of perjury or false accusation, he agreed to testify again, and told me about my attitude and process of collecting the 2 yuan kickback at the dinner table, and later I told him the fact that Bian Xiaojun and Zhong Ning agreed to give me the 2 yuan, and I made another proof.He also revealed an important situation, that is, Bian Xiaojun had some conflicts with Guoning Company, and he didn't know whether he resigned or was fired recently, anyway, he is no longer working in Guoning Group.This situation lifted the spirits of An Xin and the lawyer, and they both had a premonition that the dawn was ahead and victory was in sight.
They found Bian Xiaojun immediately.The search process was very complicated, and Bian was a person who never returned home at night and whose whereabouts were uncertain.The lawyer had a lot of things to do and couldn't afford the effort, so An Xin followed the clues provided by Liu Minghao and searched bit by bit. After searching for more than a week, he finally found this guy.She blocked Bian Xiaojun at the door of a nightclub, saying that she wanted to talk to him about something.Bian Xiaojun had never seen An Xin before, and he was a little confused to see such a beautiful girl waiting for him here.I know that the relationship between Bian Xiaojun and his wife has always been very weak. He used to joke with me that the three major joys of being middle-aged are to get promoted, get rich and kill his wife. Hearing this made me shudder.He happily followed An Xin to a quiet small bar, sat down, ordered a drink and talked slowly.He was probably anxiously looking forward to the further development of the story with An Xin, but he didn't expect that An Xin would come up with 3 yuan, bundles of [-], and put them in front of him one by one, making him Staring almost at a loss.
After An Xin left the small bar that night, she went to a lawyer and reported to her the results of the secret meeting with Bian Xiaojun.After Bian Xiaojun knew about An Xin's relationship with me and her reason for coming, of course he wouldn't have any evil thoughts, and simply started a business with An Xin. talk.An Xin did not hesitate to close the deal immediately, she agreed to pay Bian Xiaojun [-], and Bian Xiaojun agreed to go with her to see a lawyer.
The rest is mostly technical, with lawyers negotiating with Liu Minghao and Bian Xiaojun separately about their new testimony.Liu Minghao didn't want to offend Guoning Company too much, so he didn't want the lawyer to disclose the fact that Guoning Company bought him and made him give false testimony. In the end, Liu Minghao only got a small business that Guoning Company used to replace this big deal—printing the sales brochures of Guoning Building. It didn't make a total of thousands of dollars, and it was a very troublesome thing to worry about.Zhong Guoqing is also a businessman, maybe he thinks that Liu Minghao's testimony in court is worth it if he dies.
Bian Xiaojun was different. He took the initiative to express his willingness to reveal the inside story of Zhong Guoqing forcing him to give false testimony.When Zhong Guoqing personally talked to him, he asked him to deny in court that I had reported to him the fact that I had received a kickback of 2 yuan, and denied the fact that he agreed to let me hold the kickback, so as to achieve the purpose of framing me.Anyway, Zhong Guoqing forced him to do it, which constituted the crime of perjury, and Zhong Guoqing should be the main bearer, because Zhong Guoqing and Bian Xiaojun were in the relationship between the boss and the employee at that time, and Bian Xiaojun "forced him to follow the pressure", The role of coercion in law.The culprit must be dealt with, and the coercion will not be asked, Bian Xiaojun himself will not have any trouble.Of course, Bian Xiaojun's proactive help was not because of the 6 yuan in benefits, but because of some grievances and grievances between him and the Guoning brothers and sisters.His position in the Guoning Company was dismissed anyway, and he was not afraid of wearing shoes if he was barefoot. When talking to lawyers, he had a fearless spirit of "willing to cut himself to pieces and dare to pull the emperor off his horse".
In addition, Bian Xiaojun also made suggestions and provided the names and contact methods of several other witnesses. He had previously expressed dissatisfaction with these people on different occasions that Zhong Ning sent me the 2 yuan kickback.Many people in the company knew about this at the time. The few people Bian Xiaojun provided were basically fired from Guoning Company or were fired by Guoning Company. Trouble, it is estimated that there is no problem in testifying.
So many people know about kickbacks, it must be in line with the principle that kickbacks must be made public.As for whether there is an account, the lawyer believes that in a private company, the boss's verbal decision on the disposal of property is valid.Zhong Ning agreed to let me take the rebate, which is actually the company's reward for me, and it is not my responsibility to leave the account.She has stated this point of view in the court debate last time, and the point of view itself is not problematic. The main reason for losing the case last time was that the prosecution witnesses unanimously denied knowing about the kickback, denying that I got the kickback because the boss agreed.If it can be proved that the person in charge of the company knew about this matter this time, and it can be proved that the boss agreed to give me the money, then my charge of secretly accepting bribes, from subjective motives to objective consequences, will be difficult to establish, and I will stand up. I can't stand anymore.
In the spring of 28, the lawyer went through legal procedures and filed a request for review to the court on the grounds that new evidence was found to prove that the original judgment was wrong.On April [-], I remember that day clearly. The court held a review of my bribery case.After reviewing the new evidence materials provided by the defense, investigating and questioning the witnesses, and a brief debate between the prosecution and the defense, the presiding judge pronounced the verdict in court: the accusation of bribery by the plaintiff has insufficient evidence and cannot be confirmed.The conviction of the original first-instance judgment and the second-instance judgment was improper and should be corrected.Review and re-judgment: Defendant Yang Rui is not guilty!
That day, accompanied by my lawyer, I walked out of the court building in a free body. I looked up and saw the sky outside, which was bluer and bigger than the sky in the prison.Between the sky and the earth, it is full of sunshine.I leveled my gaze and saw my beloved An Xin standing under the steps of the courthouse.We looked at each other, and I felt very uncomfortable seeing her thin face.I walked down the steps slowly step by step and stood in front of her.I saw the tears in her eyes, flickering in the sunlight.She raised her right hand and gently touched my face, and I slowly stretched out my arms to hold her in my arms.For a long time, what I have been thinking about day and night is to hug my peace of mind like this now.
The lawyer also walked down the steps and walked to our side. She said: "Congratulations." We turned to look at her in unison. She had already walked to a waiting taxi by the roadside, opened the door, and turned back. Smile at us.This was probably the first time I saw her smile.She said, "Call me if you have anything to do." After she finished speaking, she got in the car, and the car drove onto the main road in a blink of an eye, and merged into the torrent of endless vehicles, like a drop of water into a rushing river, and soon disappeared without a trace. disappeared.
I thank the lawyers, I thank the law, and I thank all the witnesses who spoke up for me, even if it was for money or for other purposes, but they finally spoke the truth.It was because of their truth that not only was I able to end my imprisonment and regain my freedom, but more importantly, they also gave me a clean body.
I appreciate the peace of mind!
I didn't know at that time that An Xin had lost her entire family because of this sunny day. She benefited everyone who played a role in this trial, including lawyers.The same is true for lawyers. These days, no one can do nothing for you, and no one can do nothing just for morality and truth.
An Xin gave everything, including her parents' life savings, what she wanted was to stand under the high steps of the court one day and see me striding out from the building as deep as the sea.
I am grateful to the parents who feel at ease!
From the day I knew that my innocence was not only redeemed with innocence, but also redeemed with money, I longed to go to Qingmian.I am eager to see my parents who feel at ease, I will never be able to kneel in front of them!I failed to let their daughter live a full day, but instead dragged her whole family down to poverty.I want to kneel in front of An Xin's parents and swear that I will repay this kindness for the rest of my life!
Now, I am finally approaching the old residence of An Xin's family.On this morning, nearly a year after I walked out of the court, I walked through the ancient pocket town of Qingmian, and finally saw the northern house by a lake hidden by mountains and forests.The courtyard is surrounded by well-proportioned Yunnan folk houses, almost like a small scenic spot, which made me feel a kind of kindness unique to the Yellow River culture.I clearly knew that this yard was no longer An Xin's home, but when I saw that mass of blue bricks and black tiles, my heart beat and I couldn't help running towards it.
I finally stood in front of the gate of this house, which was simpler and easier than I imagined.I stared at the two gates decorated with iron corners. The paint had already been mottled, showing a somewhat dilapidated appearance, a bit desolate, but the pair of exquisitely carved little lions on the stone drums on both sides of the gate , but his posture and expression are still radiant.The surroundings are very quiet, as An Xin described, this is a place isolated from the hustle and bustle.
I knocked on the door with my hand, and there was an old-fashioned sound on the door. I asked loudly, "Is anyone there?" Then the door squeaked and opened, and the sound of the door hinge was classic, exactly like the sound effect specially made in the movie.
The door was opened by a young man, not much older than me.I bowed slightly to express my disturbance, and asked him if he knew where a family named An who used to live here moved to.The young man made a thought: The surname is An?At this time, another person came out from the courtyard, an old man with gray hair, and said, "You are looking for Dr. An who used to live here. They moved last spring." I said, "I know, May I ask where they moved?" The old man said: "They moved to the county mass cultural center. But I heard that it is no longer there." I asked the way to the mass cultural center, and then thanked the courtyard. The old one and the young two new owners, and then I cast a quick glance into the courtyard through the courtyard door that was only half opened.This courtyard used to be An Xin's home, and this place is where An Xin was born and grew up. Every brick and tile in the courtyard, and every plant and tree outside the courtyard, all aroused some impulse and daydream in my heart, and I could hardly distinguish these things. Is it satisfying or has it aroused my longing for An Xin.
When I found the Qingmian Mass Cultural Center, it was lunch time here, and all the staff had gone home for dinner, and there was almost no one in the museum.This is a half-new and not old two-story brick building. The building is not big, but the door is covered with countless large and small signboards.Libraries, fraternity associations, research associations, counseling stations, etc. are probably branches of mass cultural centers.Most of the doors in this building are locked, and the unlocked ones are also empty. Occasionally, when I see someone passing by in a hurry, when I ask Dr. An and his wife who works here, they all look blank.I walked around the building for a long time without finding anything, so I went out to the street to eat.I ate a bowl of bean soup and half a catty of Yongchang pancakes in a simple but clean shop diagonally opposite the Cultural Center.After I was full, I checked the time was almost up and returned to the cultural center again. This time I went directly to the director's office of the cultural center, blocking a female cadre who happened to come out of the office and locked the door to leave.
After hearing who I was looking for, the female cadre looked me up and down warily.I guessed why she was alerted, and quickly showed my Beijing ID card, saying that I came from Beijing and was a classmate of Dr. An’s daughter. I came here to find An Xin—you know where they live now have you gone?
The female cadre checked my ID card and checked whether I and the photo on the ID card were the same person.My ID card and my Beijing accent, which can't be imitated by an authentic outsider, dispelled her doubts, but her answer still didn't satisfy me.
"You're looking for Dr. An, right? They moved away. His wife doesn't work in our library anymore." "When did he leave?" "Gone... It's been several months." "Where did they go? "I don't know, it seems that I left Qingmian and went to another place." "Where did you go?" "We don't know, and didn't tell us." The female cadre returned the ID card to me , hurried away.I stood tiredly in the corridor, my heart was empty.An Xin's parents in Qingmian are the main clue for me to find An Xin. I think whether An Xin returns to them or not, they should know her daughter's whereabouts.
I walked out of the small building of the cultural center again and stood in a daze on the street. Up to this point in my entire journey, I had no direction at all.I thought about it for a long time, without any destination, and walked back to An Xin's house from the county seat again. On the hillside, there is a long ancient road with faintly remnant rocks, leading to the Pinghu Lake in the mountains that I often dream about.I looked at the lawn on the opposite bank by the lake, and the lawn looked extremely open in the sun.The sunlight pushes back the shadow of the towering trees at the end of the lawn with all its strength, making the virgin forest, which is extremely deep and magnificent if you get close, become small and amiable.
I didn't return from the shore of the high mountain Pinghu until the sun set to the west, and passed the northern house again, and the smoke had not yet risen in the courtyard.On the way back to the county seat, I looked back and stared again and again, trying my best to combine this last scene in the dusk with my previous imagination, and at the same time, I left my nostalgic eyes on the blue bricks and gray tiles of the courtyard.There was such an absurd thought in my mind, I thought that if I couldn't find peace of mind, I might move to this place and live near this yard.
I returned to Qingmian City, walked through the street market between two mountains, passed through the ancient city gate that once held the "throat of three declarations and six comforts", and then crossed the Qingmian River with the help of the Tiesuo Bridge, and returned to the train station before dark The projectile town.From the timetable of the passenger train I carried with me, I found a train that was approaching late at night. It was the [-] express train from Kunming to South Germany.
I think, apart from An Xin's parents, the only person who might know An Xin's whereabouts is Lao Pan, the captain of the Narcotics Brigade of the South German Public Security Bureau.
It was still early, I bought a pack of biscuits in the grocery store in front of the station, took it, and didn't open it to eat.Under the oppression of depression and bewilderment, my stomach has little pleasure in wriggling.I sat in the small waiting room of the station with the bag of biscuits, the backpack on my back looked heavy, but I didn't bother to take it off.I just sat like this until night fell, and I sat on the platform until late at night, chewing biscuits and waiting for the only night train that stopped briefly at this small station.
I have been to South Germany once, it was the approaching summer season last year, An Xin and I went back to Yunnan together, of course we went to South Germany.In addition to Nande, we also went to Kunming and Beiqiu, when we were happily preparing to get married.
At that time, I had just been released from prison, and An Xin and I were immersed in the joy of reunion in victory.We have decided to get married, and nothing can stand in the way of our official union!We have all thought about it and discussed it seriously, regardless of whether our parents—mainly my dad—agree or accept it; They all decided to get married!We must get married!Right now, get married!
Of all the 28 yuan cash that An Xin brought back from Qingmian, less than 3 yuan was spent to rescue me from prison.She called her parents and told us about getting married and about money.An Xin's parents congratulated us on the phone, and her mother also talked to me. The magnetic feeling unique to motherhood in her voice was touching.She said: "You are Yang Rui, right? Do you know that An Xin loves you very much, she loves you more than herself. In this world, besides her child, the person she loves the most is you, do you know? "I said, "I know." She said, "Can you love her as she loves you?" I said, "Yes!" She said, "Can you love her child?" I said, " Yes!" There was silence on the phone for a while, and An Xin's mother sobbed vaguely, she restrained her sobs and said, "My daughter is suffering too much... I know you are suffering too, you can depend on each other... I really want to bless you well!" The mother cried and couldn't continue.I handed over the phone to An Xin, and I listened to their mother and daughter consoling each other, saying trust me.I thought silently in my heart, I will definitely treat An Xin well, and it will never change in my life!
Regarding the remaining money, An Xin's parents asked us to keep it for the wedding, but I disagree, and I strongly advocate that An Xin send the money back.An Xin discussed and argued with her mother on the phone again and again, and finally agreed to a compromise. We kept 2 yuan and another nearly [-] yuan. Together with An Xin, I went to the post office and sent it back to Qingmian.
Under An Xin's persuasion, I went to see my dad.One is to tell him that I have come out, that it is all right, that I have been rehabilitated, and that I have not given it to him, nor have I given anyone to our old Yang family.The second is to tell him that I am getting married, and I hope he can agree.Fortunately, my dad didn't drink that day and his mind was still clear.But between the words, it can be heard that his brain has been poisoned by alcohol for a long time, and it is not as good as before.He was only in his fifties, and he spoke incoherently like an old man in his seventies or eighties.Regarding my innocence rehabilitated, he expressed emotion, scolded the judges and prosecutors for their stupidity, and tried his best to encourage me to sue them.My dad said, "We can't let them spend more than half a year in vain. Let's not mention the material loss. If we mention it, people will look down on us. We have to mention the spiritual loss and reputation loss, and we can't just forget it."Now there are laws.If the national government does something wrong, it still has to pay. Now people sue officials only by winning.
Regarding my getting married, my dad didn't make a clear statement, but he agreed in tone.He first asked: Are you old enough?I've said enough, a man at 24 can get married, I'll be 23 after the Chinese New Year, and An Xin will soon be 24.He was silent, but he didn't say anything in favor, at most he said: Are you almost 24?I can't control you when you are seventeen or eighteen, let alone you are [-].When did you actually hear me?You listen to your mother when your mother is around, and you listen to yourself when your mother is gone.When you were a child, you were a little afraid of me, and you didn't listen to me when you were afraid of me, but now you are not even afraid of me.
When he said that, I didn't say a word. We can't say too many affectionate words between father and son now.After being silent for a while, I felt very uncomfortable, so I said: "Dad, you can rest, I will go first, and I will come to see you when I am free, and I will tell you when the date is fixed." I took the two bottles of An Xin that I had brought Put down the white wine and a bag of fruit, and leave.My dad stood up and walked me to the door. He finally said something like this: "I don't have any preparations for you to get married. Your dad can't give you the money. I wanted to marry the house you live in now." The apartment I live in will be changed to a larger one with the work unit. If you are going to get married, I will not change it for the time being. I will let you live first, and you can’t live on the street when you get married.” I said, “Thank you, Dad.” I said Dad said: "You still know how to thank me, you know how to be polite, don't you need to thank me, just don't be angry with me." The last few words my father said at the door were tantamount to agreeing, or at least acknowledging my of this marriage.
Later, my dad called to ask where we plan to get married and how many tables to hold, reminding me not to forget who to invite.I told my dad that we are thrifty about our wedding, and we don’t plan to set up too many tables. We will travel and get married, and we will just distribute candy to relatives and friends when we come back.My dad said: "Oh, that's fine. An Xin is a second marriage with a child. It's fine if you don't have to make a fuss. Just go out and do it quietly. If someone asks me, I'll tell you that you have already done it." It's over." My dad's words made me very unhappy, but I didn't say anything, I just digested it myself.
Yes, An Xin and I decided not to invite anyone. Marriage is our own business. We can say whatever others like, and we can say whatever we want.
But I, together with An Xin, invited the shrewd and unsmiling female lawyer who helped us win the case to a meal.No matter how tight our money was, we still found a relatively decent place - the "Friday" restaurant, to express our gratitude to her for her "life-saving grace".Especially An Xin, who insisted on treating her to this meal with dignity, she and she seemed to have formed a deep fighting friendship.I said: If you really want to be decent, let’s go out and eat shark’s fin and abalone in a restaurant. I used to eat it.An Xin was stunned for a while: shark fin abalone?How much does that cost?I smiled, and answered: If you just eat and eat, the three of us can get it within two thousand.two thousand?An Xin was startled: eat gold!I said: 2000 yuan for three people to eat those things, really can’t eat good things, shark’s fin can only eat broken wings and small abalone fins that have been overcooked; abalone can only be fresh abalone and can only be eaten The sixteen-headed ones, ... feel at ease, let's eat other things, it doesn't have to be decent.
So we chose "Friday", which is a place that young people like to go to, and foreigners also like to go, because the atmosphere of the place is very fashionable for Chinese and nostalgic for foreigners.Foreigners pay more attention to decency when eating than Chinese, but their decency pays attention to the environment and tableware, as well as how many years of wine they drink, not what to eat.Foreigners don't like to eat shark's fin, abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw and other sticky things that nourish yin and strengthen yang. Chinese people are particular about eating these.
The three of us spent a little over [-] yuan for that meal, and we had a good time.The lawyer is six years older than us, basically a generation, so we have a common language.What's more, just looking back on this case, celebrating the common victory of the three of us, and talking about all the interesting and profound people and things in the process, there are endless topics to talk about.
After dinner, while sitting with a drink, the lawyer abruptly ended the review and asked me a question about what to do next.
She said: "Yang Rui, legally speaking, the actions of Zhong Guoqing and Zhong Ning should be framed, which constitutes the crime of false accusation and perjury. Are you willing to prosecute them?" I froze for a moment and said, "OK Ah." The lawyer said: "Liu Minghao, Bian Xiaojun, and the testimonies of several other witnesses during the retrial are actually enough to convict them of this crime. What is needed now is for the victims to file a lawsuit against them , just start the program." I looked at An Xin, who lowered her head and thought about something, but didn't make a statement.I said to the lawyer: "Okay, I will sue them!" The lawyer corrected: "It is the procuratorate's business to prosecute them, but the victim can file a complaint with the procuratorate and request prosecution. I can do things like writing complaints and contacting witnesses for you. .” The lawyer also took a look at An Xin, but An Xin remained silent.The lawyer turned to me and said, "Go back and discuss it. If you decide, you can come to me." I said, "Okay, I will definitely trouble you again." We took a taxi and left, An Xin and I went to the bus stop to go home.It's too late and we won't pick up the bear.An Xin called Xiaoxiong's "grandmother", and said goodbye and good night to Xiaoxiong for a long time on the phone, and then took the bus with me and wandered back home.
After returning home, I was watching TV, and An Xin suddenly asked me: "Yang Rui, do you really want to sue Zhong Ning?" I was silent for a while, and then said: "Ah, she should be a defendant too, right? We all fell silent again, for a long time, An Xin spoke again: "I have no objection to you suing her, I'm worried that you are different from me, I don't know her anyway, I don't have any relationship, only hatred, but you and I It's not the same, you used to be lovers." I said, "Who is her lover? Do you think I still have feelings with Zhong Ning? Are you okay!" An Xin fell silent for a while, He also said: "People are emotional animals, and it's hard to tell about emotions. I'm not saying that you and Zhong Ning still have feelings now, I mean, you used to be together, after all, you had a good time, you cared for each other, and you loved each other. The moment of missing, these things are your experiences, can you just forget them? Experiences are things you can’t erase.” I said, “You don’t think I’m still nostalgic for the past life, and I still think about Zhong Ning Right?" An Xin said: "No, I'm talking about my experience, just like Mao Jie, I can't even talk about loving him, I know he is guilty of drug trafficking, but you let me sue him, let him Death, I still have obstacles in my heart, I can't bear this! I always think of the past between me and him, there are many good moments in the past, I will think of how he treated me well in the past, how he took care of me in the past. Many details usually I can’t remember it, but I will remember it by now.” I smiled, raised my body to look at An Xin, touched her face, and said, “That’s you, you are a woman, women are all passionate Sensitive, my heart is too soft, I have to carry everything by myself, we men are not like this." An Xin was still lying on her back without moving, looking at me.The light outside the window shines through the gauze curtain, making her eyes bright.She looked at me without blinking her eyes, and she said: "Okay, as long as you think clearly and don't feel uncomfortable, then you can go and sue, of course I have no objection." I said: "You really have no objection, then just now Why didn't you say anything when the lawyer talked about it?" An Xin said: "I won't take the initiative to let you sue her, I won't. If you are really angry with her and want to take revenge on her, and you sue her, I will No objection. But I don't want to persuade you to force you to sue her. Because I know she is your past girlfriend, I don't want you to feel unbearable, unnatural, and insist on doing it. It has been a long time since I did it. I feel uncomfortable and regretful, I don't want you to be like this." I lay down and didn't speak again.Will I do what An Xin said?I'm not sure.But think about it the other way around, if I go to court, face my ex-lover, sue her for jail, make her suffer, will I be particularly happy from it?I also seem to be unsure of this.
I thought of when Zhong Ning sued me, I looked at her so calmly in court, but she was relentless, she almost wanted to kill me at the top of her lungs!I could see that she was having pleasure and being satisfied by it!Thinking of the elated look she showed in the court at that time, the malicious pride on her face, I suddenly warned myself, I can't be like her, I can't be like Zhong Ning who is cruel by nature, so vicious, and has no tolerance. I can't be such a person without a little class!
That night, An Xin and I didn't say anything more, and we didn't do any more intimate things. We each thought about our own thoughts until we fell asleep.
The next day I called the lawyer, and I said I didn't intend to sue Zhong Ning and Zhong Guoqing, forget it, let them go.The lawyer seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and asked me without surprise: Why?Is it because they are afraid that they will not be able to sue if they have too much money?I said no, I don't want to sue them again, Zhong Ning and I had a relationship after all, she was good to me in the past, let me repay her.The lawyer didn't say anything more, she just said: Well, you make up your own mind anyway.After a pause, she suddenly said: Yang Rui, you are a great man!I smiled and asked: Why do you say that?She replied: I have admired you since you told me that you wanted to plead not guilty.For the sake of innocence, I would rather go to jail, and most people would not choose this way.Just looking at your appearance, I didn't expect you to be such a man, including how you treat Zhong Ning now, the way you handle it is quite impressive.Even though I don't agree, I understand.I also understand why An Xin made such a desperate effort to save you, I think she is worth it.
I finished the phone call with the lawyer with a sense of triumph.I told An Xin about my decision not to sue Zhong Ning anymore, An Xin was very calm, neither expressed appreciation nor regret, just said: Oh.
In addition to our dinner with the lawyer, we also had a meal with Liu Minghao.It was Liu Minghao who treated us and asked us to go there again and again.I didn't want to go at first, Liu Minghao lied in front of me in court, he knew that I would be ruined if he testified like this, but he still testified like this.When he testified that day, he didn't dare to look at me.His certificate almost wiped out our friendship for many years from childhood to adulthood.Can I still eat his meal shamelessly?But feel at ease: Liu Minghao is in business, he dare not offend Guoning Company.Let's not demand so much from him, and don't remember this hatred, you can't avenge this hatred, why bother to keep hating him in your heart.Besides, he has helped you too. He has helped you a lot over the years.He made you even this time, otherwise you will remember his kindness.What's more, he did a certificate for you later, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get out.
The meal was eaten in the Oriental Garden Hotel. The atmosphere of eating in the restaurant is good, and it seems to be higher-grade than eating in a restaurant.Liu Minghao booked a single room here, and all he ordered were the Shanghai Jinjiang dishes that this restaurant is good at.It was a bit awkward when we first met, but it got better soon.Liu Minghao took the initiative to apologize for the first glass of wine, and said: "My brother has something wrong with my brother, drink a glass to punish yourself first." He threw it down, wiped his mouth and said: "This is my strength, I know my mistakes. Just change it. I didn’t expect my younger brother to be sentenced by saying that I don’t remember. I think the courts in our country can’t see clearly. As soon as Yang Rui went in, I was so anxious, I fucking regret it Died. I said in my heart that I have to find a way to get my brother out no matter what. It happened that Anxin came to me again, and we hit it off. The brother who let you in must let you out! Come on, this second cup It's for you, drink it, and you'll be shocked." We drank, and An Xin and I were not allowed to interrupt our conversation, but Liu Minghao continued as if he hadn't finished speaking: "But people also said that they have never been married. A man is not a man, and a man who has never been in prison is not a real man. Yang Rui, you have not been in prison for half a year, I can see it! You used to be a child, and today I see you and see you From this look, you can tell it's different, much more mature!" I smiled and said, "Then you'll go in sometime, and be a real man." Liu Minghao was taken aback for a moment, and laughed mockingly: " Me, I'll learn to be an ordinary man first, I'm getting ready to get married." Then he scolded Zhong Ning and Zhong Guoqing again, saying that many people are going to sue them now, and Guoning Company has been entangled in several cases The lawsuit, the court and the procuratorate are also investigating their false accusation against me.The laws of our country all stipulate: False accusation and sitting on the ground!However, Zhong Guoqing has a lot of relationships in the above, maybe he can settle it down.But getting the right way will help you a lot, but being wronged will help you a lot!Unjust is doomed to destruction!They are always so dark, and sooner or later it will be their turn to be rewarded with evil!
After eating, An Xin took out 3000 yuan and returned it to Liu Minghao.When Xiaoxiong was sick, we borrowed him [-] yuan, and then I repaid him [-] yuan after I went to Longdu for the first month to earn money. Now that we have the money, we should pay it back.Liu Minghao blushed after drinking, pushed the money back vigorously, and shouted: "Hey hey, what are you doing? Isn't this a curse?" An Xin said sincerely: "This is because you sold the stock and lent it to us. Yes, you’ve already lost money, we don’t even pay the interest, and we owe the capital, so I’m really sorry.” Liu Minghao said: “If you see the outside world, Yang Rui and I, whoever is with whom, the money will be counted as my money. Make amends to my little brother, or I will feel bad!" He insisted on refusing to accept it, An Xin turned to look at me helplessly, I took the money and stuffed it into Liu Minghao's arms, I said: "Can you let us relax a little bit? Well, we can't sleep because of the money we owe to others." Seeing my firm attitude, Liu Minghao wanted to put the money back for another reason: "Aren't you two going to get married? Well, save me from buying you something else." I refused to answer, and said: "One size is one size, so, anyway, you are getting married soon, if you give us something now, we will also have to give you something later Why bother to send it back and forth, how about we agree that the gift will be waived when the friendship is reached, how about it?" Liu Minghao knew that he couldn't hold me back, so he had to put the money in his handbag and said with a wry smile: "The gift you got when you got married I have to give it anyway, even if I give it to you and you don't like to throw it away." To be honest, I really don't want Liu Minghao to give gifts, not only him, but I don't want to accept gifts from anyone.In the past six months of litigation, and the hard work of finding a job in the previous period, I am well aware of the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and the fickleness of the world.In this world, if there is no kinship between people and people can still be intimate, there must be a bond of interest in essence. There are too few purely emotional things, so don't believe them.
From this point of view, An Xin appears to be more tolerant and kind than me.She said, don't take people so trivially, as if anyone who wants to do you a favor must have ulterior motives, it's too absolute to look at it this way.When I was working in the Narcotics Brigade in South Germany, Captain Pan and Captain Qian treated me well. Many people helped me. Could it be that they were all profitable?
I couldn't explain her experience and experience, so I said in a poor way: "I don't understand South Germany. I mean Beijing, and the metropolis. Which metropolis is not materialistic." An Xin is also very obsessed with her life experience: big cities Compared with the small places like our South Germany and our hometown, it is a bit more commercialized, but I believe that there is always a kind and beautiful side in the human heart, and there is always love.Love is selfless, otherwise it is not called love.
I won't argue with An Xin anymore, she can't convince me, and I can't convince her either, let's just keep our own opinions.Our different viewpoints are due to different experiences and different human natures. I think Anxin is because I am too kind, so I feel that others are also kind.
I admit that I am not as kind as An Xin, but I like kindness and am willing to live or work with kind people.I think that if An Xin and I can really last forever, maybe I will become as kind as her, and maybe like her, I will suffer from kindness!
(End of this chapter)
It is indeed a miracle that a man like me, who has long been accustomed to seeing different things and thinking differently, can fall in love with a fixed woman so reborn. This miracle should first be attributed to An Xin's personality. The role of moving, which shows that the appeal and attraction of good moral qualities to people exists in any era.Second, and equally important, in my interactions with An Xin, she always gives me some unexpected surprises, which keeps me fresh and curious about her.For example, there is an incredible distance between her appearance and her experience, and there is also an unimaginable difference between her inner character and her outer temperament.These distances and differences are the unique charm of Anxin!
Just as I never expected that a girl like her, who looks weak and watery, can draw such smooth and plump legs in mid-air, I also did not expect that under that pure and kind face, there is also a woman lurking. The courage and ingenuity that ordinary people can't match.I can only attribute this to the professional training she has received and the thrilling extraordinary experience.After all, she has withstood a life-and-death test, and her past career and experience often make me admire involuntarily.
What surprised me the most about An Xin was that she rescued me alone after I was imprisoned.At that time, I cut off communication with her in prison, and I didn't even know her whereabouts and whereabouts. If I knew that she was still running around persistently, I would have persuaded her to stop.I know that this is a "mountain of ironclad" lawsuit that no one can overcome. If a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, it may be futile and waste money. It is like throwing money into a bottomless pit without even hearing a sound.I know that money is equal to survival and survival for An Xin and Xiaoxiong mother and son. This is a very realistic thing.
And I thought, peace of mind has no money.What can you do without money these days?
Probably at the time when my appeals were ignored and I was in despair, An Xin rushed back to Beijing from Qingmian with a huge sum of 28 yuan.She first found the female lawyer I used to use, paid the female lawyer enough money, and then planned with her how to overturn the original judgment.They first went to Liu Minghao, and if they were moved by emotion, they would be reasonable, and if they were not reaped by reason, they would be lured to benefit, and finally they finally opened the gap from Liu Minghao.Liu Minghao has a loyal side, but also a side that sees profit and forgets righteousness, so in fact, love and reason, righteousness and benefit all played a certain role in him.On the premise that his lawyer guaranteed that his original testimony in court would never be accused of perjury or false accusation, he agreed to testify again, and told me about my attitude and process of collecting the 2 yuan kickback at the dinner table, and later I told him the fact that Bian Xiaojun and Zhong Ning agreed to give me the 2 yuan, and I made another proof.He also revealed an important situation, that is, Bian Xiaojun had some conflicts with Guoning Company, and he didn't know whether he resigned or was fired recently, anyway, he is no longer working in Guoning Group.This situation lifted the spirits of An Xin and the lawyer, and they both had a premonition that the dawn was ahead and victory was in sight.
They found Bian Xiaojun immediately.The search process was very complicated, and Bian was a person who never returned home at night and whose whereabouts were uncertain.The lawyer had a lot of things to do and couldn't afford the effort, so An Xin followed the clues provided by Liu Minghao and searched bit by bit. After searching for more than a week, he finally found this guy.She blocked Bian Xiaojun at the door of a nightclub, saying that she wanted to talk to him about something.Bian Xiaojun had never seen An Xin before, and he was a little confused to see such a beautiful girl waiting for him here.I know that the relationship between Bian Xiaojun and his wife has always been very weak. He used to joke with me that the three major joys of being middle-aged are to get promoted, get rich and kill his wife. Hearing this made me shudder.He happily followed An Xin to a quiet small bar, sat down, ordered a drink and talked slowly.He was probably anxiously looking forward to the further development of the story with An Xin, but he didn't expect that An Xin would come up with 3 yuan, bundles of [-], and put them in front of him one by one, making him Staring almost at a loss.
After An Xin left the small bar that night, she went to a lawyer and reported to her the results of the secret meeting with Bian Xiaojun.After Bian Xiaojun knew about An Xin's relationship with me and her reason for coming, of course he wouldn't have any evil thoughts, and simply started a business with An Xin. talk.An Xin did not hesitate to close the deal immediately, she agreed to pay Bian Xiaojun [-], and Bian Xiaojun agreed to go with her to see a lawyer.
The rest is mostly technical, with lawyers negotiating with Liu Minghao and Bian Xiaojun separately about their new testimony.Liu Minghao didn't want to offend Guoning Company too much, so he didn't want the lawyer to disclose the fact that Guoning Company bought him and made him give false testimony. In the end, Liu Minghao only got a small business that Guoning Company used to replace this big deal—printing the sales brochures of Guoning Building. It didn't make a total of thousands of dollars, and it was a very troublesome thing to worry about.Zhong Guoqing is also a businessman, maybe he thinks that Liu Minghao's testimony in court is worth it if he dies.
Bian Xiaojun was different. He took the initiative to express his willingness to reveal the inside story of Zhong Guoqing forcing him to give false testimony.When Zhong Guoqing personally talked to him, he asked him to deny in court that I had reported to him the fact that I had received a kickback of 2 yuan, and denied the fact that he agreed to let me hold the kickback, so as to achieve the purpose of framing me.Anyway, Zhong Guoqing forced him to do it, which constituted the crime of perjury, and Zhong Guoqing should be the main bearer, because Zhong Guoqing and Bian Xiaojun were in the relationship between the boss and the employee at that time, and Bian Xiaojun "forced him to follow the pressure", The role of coercion in law.The culprit must be dealt with, and the coercion will not be asked, Bian Xiaojun himself will not have any trouble.Of course, Bian Xiaojun's proactive help was not because of the 6 yuan in benefits, but because of some grievances and grievances between him and the Guoning brothers and sisters.His position in the Guoning Company was dismissed anyway, and he was not afraid of wearing shoes if he was barefoot. When talking to lawyers, he had a fearless spirit of "willing to cut himself to pieces and dare to pull the emperor off his horse".
In addition, Bian Xiaojun also made suggestions and provided the names and contact methods of several other witnesses. He had previously expressed dissatisfaction with these people on different occasions that Zhong Ning sent me the 2 yuan kickback.Many people in the company knew about this at the time. The few people Bian Xiaojun provided were basically fired from Guoning Company or were fired by Guoning Company. Trouble, it is estimated that there is no problem in testifying.
So many people know about kickbacks, it must be in line with the principle that kickbacks must be made public.As for whether there is an account, the lawyer believes that in a private company, the boss's verbal decision on the disposal of property is valid.Zhong Ning agreed to let me take the rebate, which is actually the company's reward for me, and it is not my responsibility to leave the account.She has stated this point of view in the court debate last time, and the point of view itself is not problematic. The main reason for losing the case last time was that the prosecution witnesses unanimously denied knowing about the kickback, denying that I got the kickback because the boss agreed.If it can be proved that the person in charge of the company knew about this matter this time, and it can be proved that the boss agreed to give me the money, then my charge of secretly accepting bribes, from subjective motives to objective consequences, will be difficult to establish, and I will stand up. I can't stand anymore.
In the spring of 28, the lawyer went through legal procedures and filed a request for review to the court on the grounds that new evidence was found to prove that the original judgment was wrong.On April [-], I remember that day clearly. The court held a review of my bribery case.After reviewing the new evidence materials provided by the defense, investigating and questioning the witnesses, and a brief debate between the prosecution and the defense, the presiding judge pronounced the verdict in court: the accusation of bribery by the plaintiff has insufficient evidence and cannot be confirmed.The conviction of the original first-instance judgment and the second-instance judgment was improper and should be corrected.Review and re-judgment: Defendant Yang Rui is not guilty!
That day, accompanied by my lawyer, I walked out of the court building in a free body. I looked up and saw the sky outside, which was bluer and bigger than the sky in the prison.Between the sky and the earth, it is full of sunshine.I leveled my gaze and saw my beloved An Xin standing under the steps of the courthouse.We looked at each other, and I felt very uncomfortable seeing her thin face.I walked down the steps slowly step by step and stood in front of her.I saw the tears in her eyes, flickering in the sunlight.She raised her right hand and gently touched my face, and I slowly stretched out my arms to hold her in my arms.For a long time, what I have been thinking about day and night is to hug my peace of mind like this now.
The lawyer also walked down the steps and walked to our side. She said: "Congratulations." We turned to look at her in unison. She had already walked to a waiting taxi by the roadside, opened the door, and turned back. Smile at us.This was probably the first time I saw her smile.She said, "Call me if you have anything to do." After she finished speaking, she got in the car, and the car drove onto the main road in a blink of an eye, and merged into the torrent of endless vehicles, like a drop of water into a rushing river, and soon disappeared without a trace. disappeared.
I thank the lawyers, I thank the law, and I thank all the witnesses who spoke up for me, even if it was for money or for other purposes, but they finally spoke the truth.It was because of their truth that not only was I able to end my imprisonment and regain my freedom, but more importantly, they also gave me a clean body.
I appreciate the peace of mind!
I didn't know at that time that An Xin had lost her entire family because of this sunny day. She benefited everyone who played a role in this trial, including lawyers.The same is true for lawyers. These days, no one can do nothing for you, and no one can do nothing just for morality and truth.
An Xin gave everything, including her parents' life savings, what she wanted was to stand under the high steps of the court one day and see me striding out from the building as deep as the sea.
I am grateful to the parents who feel at ease!
From the day I knew that my innocence was not only redeemed with innocence, but also redeemed with money, I longed to go to Qingmian.I am eager to see my parents who feel at ease, I will never be able to kneel in front of them!I failed to let their daughter live a full day, but instead dragged her whole family down to poverty.I want to kneel in front of An Xin's parents and swear that I will repay this kindness for the rest of my life!
Now, I am finally approaching the old residence of An Xin's family.On this morning, nearly a year after I walked out of the court, I walked through the ancient pocket town of Qingmian, and finally saw the northern house by a lake hidden by mountains and forests.The courtyard is surrounded by well-proportioned Yunnan folk houses, almost like a small scenic spot, which made me feel a kind of kindness unique to the Yellow River culture.I clearly knew that this yard was no longer An Xin's home, but when I saw that mass of blue bricks and black tiles, my heart beat and I couldn't help running towards it.
I finally stood in front of the gate of this house, which was simpler and easier than I imagined.I stared at the two gates decorated with iron corners. The paint had already been mottled, showing a somewhat dilapidated appearance, a bit desolate, but the pair of exquisitely carved little lions on the stone drums on both sides of the gate , but his posture and expression are still radiant.The surroundings are very quiet, as An Xin described, this is a place isolated from the hustle and bustle.
I knocked on the door with my hand, and there was an old-fashioned sound on the door. I asked loudly, "Is anyone there?" Then the door squeaked and opened, and the sound of the door hinge was classic, exactly like the sound effect specially made in the movie.
The door was opened by a young man, not much older than me.I bowed slightly to express my disturbance, and asked him if he knew where a family named An who used to live here moved to.The young man made a thought: The surname is An?At this time, another person came out from the courtyard, an old man with gray hair, and said, "You are looking for Dr. An who used to live here. They moved last spring." I said, "I know, May I ask where they moved?" The old man said: "They moved to the county mass cultural center. But I heard that it is no longer there." I asked the way to the mass cultural center, and then thanked the courtyard. The old one and the young two new owners, and then I cast a quick glance into the courtyard through the courtyard door that was only half opened.This courtyard used to be An Xin's home, and this place is where An Xin was born and grew up. Every brick and tile in the courtyard, and every plant and tree outside the courtyard, all aroused some impulse and daydream in my heart, and I could hardly distinguish these things. Is it satisfying or has it aroused my longing for An Xin.
When I found the Qingmian Mass Cultural Center, it was lunch time here, and all the staff had gone home for dinner, and there was almost no one in the museum.This is a half-new and not old two-story brick building. The building is not big, but the door is covered with countless large and small signboards.Libraries, fraternity associations, research associations, counseling stations, etc. are probably branches of mass cultural centers.Most of the doors in this building are locked, and the unlocked ones are also empty. Occasionally, when I see someone passing by in a hurry, when I ask Dr. An and his wife who works here, they all look blank.I walked around the building for a long time without finding anything, so I went out to the street to eat.I ate a bowl of bean soup and half a catty of Yongchang pancakes in a simple but clean shop diagonally opposite the Cultural Center.After I was full, I checked the time was almost up and returned to the cultural center again. This time I went directly to the director's office of the cultural center, blocking a female cadre who happened to come out of the office and locked the door to leave.
After hearing who I was looking for, the female cadre looked me up and down warily.I guessed why she was alerted, and quickly showed my Beijing ID card, saying that I came from Beijing and was a classmate of Dr. An’s daughter. I came here to find An Xin—you know where they live now have you gone?
The female cadre checked my ID card and checked whether I and the photo on the ID card were the same person.My ID card and my Beijing accent, which can't be imitated by an authentic outsider, dispelled her doubts, but her answer still didn't satisfy me.
"You're looking for Dr. An, right? They moved away. His wife doesn't work in our library anymore." "When did he leave?" "Gone... It's been several months." "Where did they go? "I don't know, it seems that I left Qingmian and went to another place." "Where did you go?" "We don't know, and didn't tell us." The female cadre returned the ID card to me , hurried away.I stood tiredly in the corridor, my heart was empty.An Xin's parents in Qingmian are the main clue for me to find An Xin. I think whether An Xin returns to them or not, they should know her daughter's whereabouts.
I walked out of the small building of the cultural center again and stood in a daze on the street. Up to this point in my entire journey, I had no direction at all.I thought about it for a long time, without any destination, and walked back to An Xin's house from the county seat again. On the hillside, there is a long ancient road with faintly remnant rocks, leading to the Pinghu Lake in the mountains that I often dream about.I looked at the lawn on the opposite bank by the lake, and the lawn looked extremely open in the sun.The sunlight pushes back the shadow of the towering trees at the end of the lawn with all its strength, making the virgin forest, which is extremely deep and magnificent if you get close, become small and amiable.
I didn't return from the shore of the high mountain Pinghu until the sun set to the west, and passed the northern house again, and the smoke had not yet risen in the courtyard.On the way back to the county seat, I looked back and stared again and again, trying my best to combine this last scene in the dusk with my previous imagination, and at the same time, I left my nostalgic eyes on the blue bricks and gray tiles of the courtyard.There was such an absurd thought in my mind, I thought that if I couldn't find peace of mind, I might move to this place and live near this yard.
I returned to Qingmian City, walked through the street market between two mountains, passed through the ancient city gate that once held the "throat of three declarations and six comforts", and then crossed the Qingmian River with the help of the Tiesuo Bridge, and returned to the train station before dark The projectile town.From the timetable of the passenger train I carried with me, I found a train that was approaching late at night. It was the [-] express train from Kunming to South Germany.
I think, apart from An Xin's parents, the only person who might know An Xin's whereabouts is Lao Pan, the captain of the Narcotics Brigade of the South German Public Security Bureau.
It was still early, I bought a pack of biscuits in the grocery store in front of the station, took it, and didn't open it to eat.Under the oppression of depression and bewilderment, my stomach has little pleasure in wriggling.I sat in the small waiting room of the station with the bag of biscuits, the backpack on my back looked heavy, but I didn't bother to take it off.I just sat like this until night fell, and I sat on the platform until late at night, chewing biscuits and waiting for the only night train that stopped briefly at this small station.
I have been to South Germany once, it was the approaching summer season last year, An Xin and I went back to Yunnan together, of course we went to South Germany.In addition to Nande, we also went to Kunming and Beiqiu, when we were happily preparing to get married.
At that time, I had just been released from prison, and An Xin and I were immersed in the joy of reunion in victory.We have decided to get married, and nothing can stand in the way of our official union!We have all thought about it and discussed it seriously, regardless of whether our parents—mainly my dad—agree or accept it; They all decided to get married!We must get married!Right now, get married!
Of all the 28 yuan cash that An Xin brought back from Qingmian, less than 3 yuan was spent to rescue me from prison.She called her parents and told us about getting married and about money.An Xin's parents congratulated us on the phone, and her mother also talked to me. The magnetic feeling unique to motherhood in her voice was touching.She said: "You are Yang Rui, right? Do you know that An Xin loves you very much, she loves you more than herself. In this world, besides her child, the person she loves the most is you, do you know? "I said, "I know." She said, "Can you love her as she loves you?" I said, "Yes!" She said, "Can you love her child?" I said, " Yes!" There was silence on the phone for a while, and An Xin's mother sobbed vaguely, she restrained her sobs and said, "My daughter is suffering too much... I know you are suffering too, you can depend on each other... I really want to bless you well!" The mother cried and couldn't continue.I handed over the phone to An Xin, and I listened to their mother and daughter consoling each other, saying trust me.I thought silently in my heart, I will definitely treat An Xin well, and it will never change in my life!
Regarding the remaining money, An Xin's parents asked us to keep it for the wedding, but I disagree, and I strongly advocate that An Xin send the money back.An Xin discussed and argued with her mother on the phone again and again, and finally agreed to a compromise. We kept 2 yuan and another nearly [-] yuan. Together with An Xin, I went to the post office and sent it back to Qingmian.
Under An Xin's persuasion, I went to see my dad.One is to tell him that I have come out, that it is all right, that I have been rehabilitated, and that I have not given it to him, nor have I given anyone to our old Yang family.The second is to tell him that I am getting married, and I hope he can agree.Fortunately, my dad didn't drink that day and his mind was still clear.But between the words, it can be heard that his brain has been poisoned by alcohol for a long time, and it is not as good as before.He was only in his fifties, and he spoke incoherently like an old man in his seventies or eighties.Regarding my innocence rehabilitated, he expressed emotion, scolded the judges and prosecutors for their stupidity, and tried his best to encourage me to sue them.My dad said, "We can't let them spend more than half a year in vain. Let's not mention the material loss. If we mention it, people will look down on us. We have to mention the spiritual loss and reputation loss, and we can't just forget it."Now there are laws.If the national government does something wrong, it still has to pay. Now people sue officials only by winning.
Regarding my getting married, my dad didn't make a clear statement, but he agreed in tone.He first asked: Are you old enough?I've said enough, a man at 24 can get married, I'll be 23 after the Chinese New Year, and An Xin will soon be 24.He was silent, but he didn't say anything in favor, at most he said: Are you almost 24?I can't control you when you are seventeen or eighteen, let alone you are [-].When did you actually hear me?You listen to your mother when your mother is around, and you listen to yourself when your mother is gone.When you were a child, you were a little afraid of me, and you didn't listen to me when you were afraid of me, but now you are not even afraid of me.
When he said that, I didn't say a word. We can't say too many affectionate words between father and son now.After being silent for a while, I felt very uncomfortable, so I said: "Dad, you can rest, I will go first, and I will come to see you when I am free, and I will tell you when the date is fixed." I took the two bottles of An Xin that I had brought Put down the white wine and a bag of fruit, and leave.My dad stood up and walked me to the door. He finally said something like this: "I don't have any preparations for you to get married. Your dad can't give you the money. I wanted to marry the house you live in now." The apartment I live in will be changed to a larger one with the work unit. If you are going to get married, I will not change it for the time being. I will let you live first, and you can’t live on the street when you get married.” I said, “Thank you, Dad.” I said Dad said: "You still know how to thank me, you know how to be polite, don't you need to thank me, just don't be angry with me." The last few words my father said at the door were tantamount to agreeing, or at least acknowledging my of this marriage.
Later, my dad called to ask where we plan to get married and how many tables to hold, reminding me not to forget who to invite.I told my dad that we are thrifty about our wedding, and we don’t plan to set up too many tables. We will travel and get married, and we will just distribute candy to relatives and friends when we come back.My dad said: "Oh, that's fine. An Xin is a second marriage with a child. It's fine if you don't have to make a fuss. Just go out and do it quietly. If someone asks me, I'll tell you that you have already done it." It's over." My dad's words made me very unhappy, but I didn't say anything, I just digested it myself.
Yes, An Xin and I decided not to invite anyone. Marriage is our own business. We can say whatever others like, and we can say whatever we want.
But I, together with An Xin, invited the shrewd and unsmiling female lawyer who helped us win the case to a meal.No matter how tight our money was, we still found a relatively decent place - the "Friday" restaurant, to express our gratitude to her for her "life-saving grace".Especially An Xin, who insisted on treating her to this meal with dignity, she and she seemed to have formed a deep fighting friendship.I said: If you really want to be decent, let’s go out and eat shark’s fin and abalone in a restaurant. I used to eat it.An Xin was stunned for a while: shark fin abalone?How much does that cost?I smiled, and answered: If you just eat and eat, the three of us can get it within two thousand.two thousand?An Xin was startled: eat gold!I said: 2000 yuan for three people to eat those things, really can’t eat good things, shark’s fin can only eat broken wings and small abalone fins that have been overcooked; abalone can only be fresh abalone and can only be eaten The sixteen-headed ones, ... feel at ease, let's eat other things, it doesn't have to be decent.
So we chose "Friday", which is a place that young people like to go to, and foreigners also like to go, because the atmosphere of the place is very fashionable for Chinese and nostalgic for foreigners.Foreigners pay more attention to decency when eating than Chinese, but their decency pays attention to the environment and tableware, as well as how many years of wine they drink, not what to eat.Foreigners don't like to eat shark's fin, abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw and other sticky things that nourish yin and strengthen yang. Chinese people are particular about eating these.
The three of us spent a little over [-] yuan for that meal, and we had a good time.The lawyer is six years older than us, basically a generation, so we have a common language.What's more, just looking back on this case, celebrating the common victory of the three of us, and talking about all the interesting and profound people and things in the process, there are endless topics to talk about.
After dinner, while sitting with a drink, the lawyer abruptly ended the review and asked me a question about what to do next.
She said: "Yang Rui, legally speaking, the actions of Zhong Guoqing and Zhong Ning should be framed, which constitutes the crime of false accusation and perjury. Are you willing to prosecute them?" I froze for a moment and said, "OK Ah." The lawyer said: "Liu Minghao, Bian Xiaojun, and the testimonies of several other witnesses during the retrial are actually enough to convict them of this crime. What is needed now is for the victims to file a lawsuit against them , just start the program." I looked at An Xin, who lowered her head and thought about something, but didn't make a statement.I said to the lawyer: "Okay, I will sue them!" The lawyer corrected: "It is the procuratorate's business to prosecute them, but the victim can file a complaint with the procuratorate and request prosecution. I can do things like writing complaints and contacting witnesses for you. .” The lawyer also took a look at An Xin, but An Xin remained silent.The lawyer turned to me and said, "Go back and discuss it. If you decide, you can come to me." I said, "Okay, I will definitely trouble you again." We took a taxi and left, An Xin and I went to the bus stop to go home.It's too late and we won't pick up the bear.An Xin called Xiaoxiong's "grandmother", and said goodbye and good night to Xiaoxiong for a long time on the phone, and then took the bus with me and wandered back home.
After returning home, I was watching TV, and An Xin suddenly asked me: "Yang Rui, do you really want to sue Zhong Ning?" I was silent for a while, and then said: "Ah, she should be a defendant too, right? We all fell silent again, for a long time, An Xin spoke again: "I have no objection to you suing her, I'm worried that you are different from me, I don't know her anyway, I don't have any relationship, only hatred, but you and I It's not the same, you used to be lovers." I said, "Who is her lover? Do you think I still have feelings with Zhong Ning? Are you okay!" An Xin fell silent for a while, He also said: "People are emotional animals, and it's hard to tell about emotions. I'm not saying that you and Zhong Ning still have feelings now, I mean, you used to be together, after all, you had a good time, you cared for each other, and you loved each other. The moment of missing, these things are your experiences, can you just forget them? Experiences are things you can’t erase.” I said, “You don’t think I’m still nostalgic for the past life, and I still think about Zhong Ning Right?" An Xin said: "No, I'm talking about my experience, just like Mao Jie, I can't even talk about loving him, I know he is guilty of drug trafficking, but you let me sue him, let him Death, I still have obstacles in my heart, I can't bear this! I always think of the past between me and him, there are many good moments in the past, I will think of how he treated me well in the past, how he took care of me in the past. Many details usually I can’t remember it, but I will remember it by now.” I smiled, raised my body to look at An Xin, touched her face, and said, “That’s you, you are a woman, women are all passionate Sensitive, my heart is too soft, I have to carry everything by myself, we men are not like this." An Xin was still lying on her back without moving, looking at me.The light outside the window shines through the gauze curtain, making her eyes bright.She looked at me without blinking her eyes, and she said: "Okay, as long as you think clearly and don't feel uncomfortable, then you can go and sue, of course I have no objection." I said: "You really have no objection, then just now Why didn't you say anything when the lawyer talked about it?" An Xin said: "I won't take the initiative to let you sue her, I won't. If you are really angry with her and want to take revenge on her, and you sue her, I will No objection. But I don't want to persuade you to force you to sue her. Because I know she is your past girlfriend, I don't want you to feel unbearable, unnatural, and insist on doing it. It has been a long time since I did it. I feel uncomfortable and regretful, I don't want you to be like this." I lay down and didn't speak again.Will I do what An Xin said?I'm not sure.But think about it the other way around, if I go to court, face my ex-lover, sue her for jail, make her suffer, will I be particularly happy from it?I also seem to be unsure of this.
I thought of when Zhong Ning sued me, I looked at her so calmly in court, but she was relentless, she almost wanted to kill me at the top of her lungs!I could see that she was having pleasure and being satisfied by it!Thinking of the elated look she showed in the court at that time, the malicious pride on her face, I suddenly warned myself, I can't be like her, I can't be like Zhong Ning who is cruel by nature, so vicious, and has no tolerance. I can't be such a person without a little class!
That night, An Xin and I didn't say anything more, and we didn't do any more intimate things. We each thought about our own thoughts until we fell asleep.
The next day I called the lawyer, and I said I didn't intend to sue Zhong Ning and Zhong Guoqing, forget it, let them go.The lawyer seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and asked me without surprise: Why?Is it because they are afraid that they will not be able to sue if they have too much money?I said no, I don't want to sue them again, Zhong Ning and I had a relationship after all, she was good to me in the past, let me repay her.The lawyer didn't say anything more, she just said: Well, you make up your own mind anyway.After a pause, she suddenly said: Yang Rui, you are a great man!I smiled and asked: Why do you say that?She replied: I have admired you since you told me that you wanted to plead not guilty.For the sake of innocence, I would rather go to jail, and most people would not choose this way.Just looking at your appearance, I didn't expect you to be such a man, including how you treat Zhong Ning now, the way you handle it is quite impressive.Even though I don't agree, I understand.I also understand why An Xin made such a desperate effort to save you, I think she is worth it.
I finished the phone call with the lawyer with a sense of triumph.I told An Xin about my decision not to sue Zhong Ning anymore, An Xin was very calm, neither expressed appreciation nor regret, just said: Oh.
In addition to our dinner with the lawyer, we also had a meal with Liu Minghao.It was Liu Minghao who treated us and asked us to go there again and again.I didn't want to go at first, Liu Minghao lied in front of me in court, he knew that I would be ruined if he testified like this, but he still testified like this.When he testified that day, he didn't dare to look at me.His certificate almost wiped out our friendship for many years from childhood to adulthood.Can I still eat his meal shamelessly?But feel at ease: Liu Minghao is in business, he dare not offend Guoning Company.Let's not demand so much from him, and don't remember this hatred, you can't avenge this hatred, why bother to keep hating him in your heart.Besides, he has helped you too. He has helped you a lot over the years.He made you even this time, otherwise you will remember his kindness.What's more, he did a certificate for you later, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get out.
The meal was eaten in the Oriental Garden Hotel. The atmosphere of eating in the restaurant is good, and it seems to be higher-grade than eating in a restaurant.Liu Minghao booked a single room here, and all he ordered were the Shanghai Jinjiang dishes that this restaurant is good at.It was a bit awkward when we first met, but it got better soon.Liu Minghao took the initiative to apologize for the first glass of wine, and said: "My brother has something wrong with my brother, drink a glass to punish yourself first." He threw it down, wiped his mouth and said: "This is my strength, I know my mistakes. Just change it. I didn’t expect my younger brother to be sentenced by saying that I don’t remember. I think the courts in our country can’t see clearly. As soon as Yang Rui went in, I was so anxious, I fucking regret it Died. I said in my heart that I have to find a way to get my brother out no matter what. It happened that Anxin came to me again, and we hit it off. The brother who let you in must let you out! Come on, this second cup It's for you, drink it, and you'll be shocked." We drank, and An Xin and I were not allowed to interrupt our conversation, but Liu Minghao continued as if he hadn't finished speaking: "But people also said that they have never been married. A man is not a man, and a man who has never been in prison is not a real man. Yang Rui, you have not been in prison for half a year, I can see it! You used to be a child, and today I see you and see you From this look, you can tell it's different, much more mature!" I smiled and said, "Then you'll go in sometime, and be a real man." Liu Minghao was taken aback for a moment, and laughed mockingly: " Me, I'll learn to be an ordinary man first, I'm getting ready to get married." Then he scolded Zhong Ning and Zhong Guoqing again, saying that many people are going to sue them now, and Guoning Company has been entangled in several cases The lawsuit, the court and the procuratorate are also investigating their false accusation against me.The laws of our country all stipulate: False accusation and sitting on the ground!However, Zhong Guoqing has a lot of relationships in the above, maybe he can settle it down.But getting the right way will help you a lot, but being wronged will help you a lot!Unjust is doomed to destruction!They are always so dark, and sooner or later it will be their turn to be rewarded with evil!
After eating, An Xin took out 3000 yuan and returned it to Liu Minghao.When Xiaoxiong was sick, we borrowed him [-] yuan, and then I repaid him [-] yuan after I went to Longdu for the first month to earn money. Now that we have the money, we should pay it back.Liu Minghao blushed after drinking, pushed the money back vigorously, and shouted: "Hey hey, what are you doing? Isn't this a curse?" An Xin said sincerely: "This is because you sold the stock and lent it to us. Yes, you’ve already lost money, we don’t even pay the interest, and we owe the capital, so I’m really sorry.” Liu Minghao said: “If you see the outside world, Yang Rui and I, whoever is with whom, the money will be counted as my money. Make amends to my little brother, or I will feel bad!" He insisted on refusing to accept it, An Xin turned to look at me helplessly, I took the money and stuffed it into Liu Minghao's arms, I said: "Can you let us relax a little bit? Well, we can't sleep because of the money we owe to others." Seeing my firm attitude, Liu Minghao wanted to put the money back for another reason: "Aren't you two going to get married? Well, save me from buying you something else." I refused to answer, and said: "One size is one size, so, anyway, you are getting married soon, if you give us something now, we will also have to give you something later Why bother to send it back and forth, how about we agree that the gift will be waived when the friendship is reached, how about it?" Liu Minghao knew that he couldn't hold me back, so he had to put the money in his handbag and said with a wry smile: "The gift you got when you got married I have to give it anyway, even if I give it to you and you don't like to throw it away." To be honest, I really don't want Liu Minghao to give gifts, not only him, but I don't want to accept gifts from anyone.In the past six months of litigation, and the hard work of finding a job in the previous period, I am well aware of the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and the fickleness of the world.In this world, if there is no kinship between people and people can still be intimate, there must be a bond of interest in essence. There are too few purely emotional things, so don't believe them.
From this point of view, An Xin appears to be more tolerant and kind than me.She said, don't take people so trivially, as if anyone who wants to do you a favor must have ulterior motives, it's too absolute to look at it this way.When I was working in the Narcotics Brigade in South Germany, Captain Pan and Captain Qian treated me well. Many people helped me. Could it be that they were all profitable?
I couldn't explain her experience and experience, so I said in a poor way: "I don't understand South Germany. I mean Beijing, and the metropolis. Which metropolis is not materialistic." An Xin is also very obsessed with her life experience: big cities Compared with the small places like our South Germany and our hometown, it is a bit more commercialized, but I believe that there is always a kind and beautiful side in the human heart, and there is always love.Love is selfless, otherwise it is not called love.
I won't argue with An Xin anymore, she can't convince me, and I can't convince her either, let's just keep our own opinions.Our different viewpoints are due to different experiences and different human natures. I think Anxin is because I am too kind, so I feel that others are also kind.
I admit that I am not as kind as An Xin, but I like kindness and am willing to live or work with kind people.I think that if An Xin and I can really last forever, maybe I will become as kind as her, and maybe like her, I will suffer from kindness!
