no longer ordinary friends

Hearing Jiang Li's mother making trouble in the store, Zhou Zhicheng was even more worried about Grandpa's health.

Five years ago, after he had the vascular stent operation, the doctor told him to keep a calm mood, not to be too excited, and not to argue with others, so scared that her grandma stopped arguing with others in recent years.

She called He Yanming and asked him to go to the store to check the situation.

Jiang Li's mother has always been like this. She has never put Jiang Li's dignity in her eyes. Maybe she still enjoys the pleasure of stepping on the child's dignity on the ground. When she was a child, she deliberately beat her in front of everyone. She blamed the school for making her daughter a young girl, because the university was too far away from the North City, so she had no money to go there, so she couldn't go there and make a big fuss. These were also the few years of Jiang Li's rare peace, when she could study hard and work hard.

Zhou Zhicheng could understand Jiang Li's mood. If she was really with her brother, she would have endless troubles. Zhou's family is in Nanri County, and her mother would never have to worry about finding her daughter to suck blood.

Zhou Zhicheng sighed silently, wondering what happened to Jiang Li, she tried very hard to make herself more decent, but when her mother made a fuss, she became a joke of Nanri County again.

Zhou Zhicheng turned his head and asked Jiang Xianghuai, "Did my brother tell you about his relationship with Jiang Li?"

"He just said he was dumped."

"Did he say bad things about Jiang Li to you? Or asked you to follow him and scold Jiang Li together?"

"No." Jiang Xianghuai replied quickly, chuckling, "Why would I turn my elbows outward?"

Her eyelids twitched slightly, and her first reaction was that, he said, her best friend was more important than his brother.

Then I heard him say: "Jiang Li is my junior sister from the university, Zhou Bingcheng is just a friend from another school."

Zhou Zhicheng: "..."

She didn't know if Zhou Bingcheng was working at this time, so she couldn't call him directly, and sent him a WeChat message to scold him: "Grandma said you are dead, grandpa said you are finished, your brother said you are a white-eyed wolf, you My sister said you are a scumbag."

If it wasn't about Jiang Li, Zhou Zhicheng could still appreciate him being scolded with great interest, but now when she thought of Jiang Li crying so badly, she wanted to chop off Zhou Bingcheng's head.

She suppressed her anger and typed: "Come back sometime and settle the matter quickly. Grandpa is in poor health and can't stand the noise."

Jiang Xianghuai didn't mean to peek at the screen, but now that they were standing side by side, he looked down and saw her mobile phone screen, and his eyes fell on the last sentence - Grandpa is not in good health, can't stand it Quarrel.

This is also what worries him the most.

Fortunately, it is much better now than before. The doctor who performed the operation was contacted by someone he asked. The doctor will also give him feedback on the results of Grandpa Zhou's annual reexamination, and the situation is improving.

It's just that his parents are still ticking time bombs, and the elders of the Zhou family don't agree with him being with Chengcheng.

After Zhou Zhicheng received the call from Grandma Cai, his chest felt a little stuffy.

She thought of Jiang Li when she left Beicheng in embarrassment, his inexplicable coldness and violence, not disclosing their relationship, impatiently rejecting her confession, no contact for four or five years, and meeting again, he has become a partner, After earning enough money, he came to Nanri County to play with her for a short period of unclear old love.

She has been paralyzing herself during this time, giving herself a self-comforting illusion that she is playing emotional games.

But not at all.

She is not a person who can play well, even if she is on the third day, her view of love still seems to be stuck, and this person is the person she has been secretly in love with for many years. In this relationship, the humble and unequal person has always been her.

What's more, this is in the relatively feudal and conservative Nanri County, her hometown, and she will live in this year, and every intimate move with him will be reflected in the eyes of the people around her. It's the one who can pat his ass and leave without any burden after just a few months.

When the bus arrived near the Weiguan Office, Zhou Zhicheng got off the bus first, she pursed her lips, said nothing, walked quickly by herself, and reached the door of the Weiguan Office within two strokes.

Jiang Xianghuai rolled his Adam's apple up and down, strode after her and grabbed her hand.

He knew she was angry, nine out of ten it was because of the wrong things he had done.

He said: "Chengcheng, I know that the harm I caused to you at the beginning cannot be repaired, but can you give me a chance, after listening to my explanation, my mother..." His voice was hoarse, "I have been separated from you for a few years, I regret that I didn't look for someone else, the only one I like has always been you."

Zhou Zhicheng paused and looked forward.

Jiang Xianghuai stared down at her hair, and continued: "I came to Nanri County very seriously, not on a whim, nor out of loneliness..."

Zhou Zhicheng turned around and looked up at him expressionlessly: "Lawyer Jiang, what's in front of you?"

Several photographers with cameras on their shoulders greeted Jiang Par with a smile: "It's all right, Lawyer Jiang, you continue to apologize, I promise not to broadcast it, no one knows you're lonely..."

Another staff member suggested: "Actually, this one is quite interesting. The first theme is marriage and love in the law. I think everyone should also like to watch legal people's marriage and love."

"Lawyer Jiang, go ahead, the atmosphere is in place, and I can edit a sad background music for you, so as not to care about the love and hatred at the entrance of the office." Said the million-dollar photographer and post-production teacher.

The staff who were filming the documentary drove to the non-management office in advance, and contacted the person in charge to communicate with them about the shooting. They had just turned the camera on the two of them when they saw Zhou Zhicheng coming over.

As long as there is no desire to perform, there is no way to continue to sensationalize and apologize.

Jiang Xianghuai had no choice but to stop talking, his chest heaving slightly.

The architectural style of the uncontrolled prison is different from that of serious detention centers and prisons. It is more like an ordinary school, except that there is a sign of "Correction Center for Juvenile Offenders" hanging on the door, and a majestic stone lion stands on both sides of the door. , Looking from the outside, there are many buildings inside, the central building is in the middle, and there is a fountain standing in front of it. There is no water now, and the fountain is only opened on special days, and behind it is the prison area.

On the other side, there was a queue at the side door, relatives who came to visit, and some lawyers who wanted to solicit business advertised here.

Jiang Xianghuai also looked over, and a staff member of the program group read the words on the small billboards: "XX Law Firm, one-stop bailout and defense, professional interviews in the detention center, one thousand a time."

As they were reading, a peddler came over and greeted them in a low voice: "Are you going in to see the children?"

Jiang Xianghuai let out a "hmm".

The person introduced: "I sell clothes that can be worn inside, which are suitable for detention. It's cold, do you want to buy two sets for your children?"

Zhou Zhicheng smiled and refused.

The man looked left and right again, and said mysteriously: "Then do you want to find a lawyer? I have a recommended lawyer here. You know, we are in this area every day, and we are very familiar with everyone, so we can come out early , that's what it means."

Zhou Zhicheng had no choice but to say, "No need, I'm a lawyer."

This person's tone choked, and he was still a competitor for a long time.

After the man left, the photographer felt amused: "Did he not see the camera?"

He asked again: "Lawyer Zhou, are the lawyers in places like these reliable? I often see these lawyers who actively solicit customers at the gate of the detention center and the court."

Another person said: "It's definitely unreliable. Good lawyers are not short of cases. Haven't you read the news? Many lawyers in these places are not very formal, some are not even lawyers, they are unemployed, and they use the name of lawyers to pull cases , Earning a commission, many clients have been cheated, so people often call the lawyer unscrupulous, in fact, it is some mouse shit that ruined a pot of porridge."

The photographer also thought about it: "It looks a bit out of class. Lawyers are not like lawyers, they are like pimps, and they are like migrant workers."

Jiang Xianghuai smiled lowly: "Of course, legal migrant workers are also migrant workers."

Zhou Zhicheng said: "We also need to analyze the specific situation. It is not shameful for litigation lawyers to take the initiative to find the source of the case. It is for work and life. Most ordinary lawyers will go through the stage of having no case source and being unable to open their doors. Detention centers and courts. It is very suitable to expand the source of cases, as long as the case can be obtained and the case is handled responsibly, it is reliable."

"In these two places, there are some lawyers or people pretending to be lawyers who are 'fooling' the clients, which has caused the polarization of the reputation of these lawyers." She paused, and added, "So, generally speaking, as long as you hear the lawyers assure the clients They will win the case, say that they have connections, keep repeatedly mentioning the high success rate they have handled in the past, avoid law firms and charge fees privately, these lawyers are somewhat problematic.”

The photographer sighed: "Sometimes the family members have to go to the doctor in an emergency. Only when they hear the promise of winning from those unscrupulous lawyers will they feel at ease. As a result, they may directly miss the best time for defense."

"Yes."

Soon it was their turn to go in. After the armed police on duty at the gate checked their ID cards, they were allowed to enter the first gate.

A prison guard said hello: "Long time no see, Lawyer Zhou."

He also explained some precautions to the program team, saying: "Our situation here is quite special, so we must check the things you bring in. Mobile phones, lighters, cigarettes, and knife steel pipes are not allowed. You can store them first. Here we are."

The prison guard asked again: "Is it convenient to check your filming equipment?"

The photographer quickly said, "Of course."

After the inspection, the prison guards took them in and gave some basic introductions: "This is the recharge hall, and there is also a prison court, and then there is the meeting room, and the innermost is the prison area. However, let's go to the cafeteria first, and now They are all eating, and today is quite special, most of the time we deliver meals to the prison area for the children to eat."

The food in the uncontrolled institute is quite good, after all, they are all minors and still growing.

Zhou Zhicheng had just stepped into the cafeteria when he saw a young man wearing a chef's hat waving at her vigorously behind the cooking window. In this way, like a malfunctioning wiper, he waved his hands vigorously.

The people on the side warned him, and his movements restrained a little.

Zhou Zhicheng smiled at him.

Jiang Xianghuai asked, "Is he also a juvenile delinquent?"

The prison guard replied: "Yes, if he behaves well, let him come to the cafeteria to learn how to cook." He sighed, "The way this kid came in is outrageous..."

"Fighting?" Jiang Xianghuai asked.

The prison guard said: "His father locked him in the room and asked him to reflect. He burned the quilt in the middle of the night and set fire to himself, which made his parents regret for the rest of his life... Finally, the fire was extinguished and everyone was safe. He committed the crime of arson and was arrested. Got it, he did make his parents regret it, and he regretted it in another way..."
