no longer ordinary friends

Zhou Zhicheng and the others left the village the next day, and met a few mediators and villagers at the entrance of the village. It was Zhou Zhicheng who was in charge of mediation before, but after she came to mediate several times, the mediation department of the Justice Bureau came out After various considerations, an older mediator was replaced.

Zhao Yanjia was curious: "What are you arguing about?"

Zhou Zhicheng said: "Rural revitalization will inevitably go through a link. The village collectively introduces enterprises to cooperate in development and the contradictions among villagers. Nanxiao Village is because of the development of tourism. You have also seen that when we enter the Ring Road, there will be Seeing the tombs along the way, it is not beautiful, and it is a bit gloomy and scary. Therefore, the prerequisite for some enterprises to invest is to require the village to clean up and standardize these tombs first. It is best to set up a cemetery and relocate the tombs uniformly. , no one is willing to move their ancestors’ graves, nor do they want to rest, the stalemate has been going on for more than a year.”

"Are you a team of mediators?"

"That's right." Zhou Zhicheng explained, "There are obvious differences between rural society and big cities. The village is a society of acquaintances that pays more attention to human relations, and most villagers know little about the law, so the government has been promoting the private mediation system. "

Zhao Yanjia: "Master and uncle of the neighborhood committee?"

"Basically, the mediation team now consists of four people, a policeman, a judge, a prosecutor, and a lawyer hired by the Bureau of Justice."

"Then the villagers don't want to move their graves?" Ye Bai also asked.

"There are those who are willing, but follow-up compensation and resettlement have not been negotiated. Some companies are unwilling to pay so much money, so they are still negotiating slowly."

Ye Bai was deeply touched: "Graves and homesteads are the lifeblood of the villagers. Last time I sorted out the information, I saw a case handled by Lawyer Zhou. Some villagers dug up the family's ancestral graves. They knew that the other party had made a fortune abroad. The ancestral grave also took pictures and threatened to ask the other party to give money, but he committed the crime of extortion and attempted to be sentenced to six months in prison."

"Only six months?" Zhao Yanjia was annoyed when he heard that, "It's too bad to dig someone's ancestral grave."

Zhou Zhicheng twitched the corners of his lips: "Because it was an attempt, and he voluntarily confessed the facts of the crime after he was brought to justice, it is a confession."

"Also, is there any other case?"

Jiang Xianghuai was driving the car, glanced at a few people from the rearview mirror, and said with a smile, "Zhao Yanjia, are you going to listen to the storytelling?"

"The story will not be as exciting as these little things. When I was a child, I heard my uncle tell about the case he handled and participated in the cross-border extradition of fugitives. My uncle said that he followed him all over the world. The illegal operation of an underground bank involving more than one billion yuan He defended him to the extreme and lightly sentenced him, and he was suspected of running an online casino, and the evidence was insufficient, so he returned it to the police... But none of these are as exciting as Lawyer Zhou’s grave-digging.”

If we go back to the beginning of the story, I don’t know if he still remembers it. He once wondered whether handling these trivial cases was a waste of legal knowledge. One after another, the unsolvable cases stayed in the boring county where the future could be seen at a glance, and went to the countryside to be a mediator with the talents of an enthusiastic aunt.

Zhou Zhicheng rolled his eyes and said, "That will make you regret, I don't have any other grave-digging cases."

Jiang Xianghuai asked Zhao Yanjia: "If a motorcycle was stolen but you bought it, do you think you are guilty?"

"I'm just an innocent buyer, of course not guilty."

"And what if you knew the motorcycle was stolen?"

Zhao Yanjia hesitated for a moment: "Will someone really admit that they bought a motorcycle stolen by someone else?"

Jiang Xianghuai smiled: "This is true. The client has admitted to the case that your lawyer Zhou took before."

Zhou Zhicheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, opened the window a little bit, and the wind blew in. She said: "He just didn't think it was wrong for him to do that. Under normal circumstances, the police will not file a case and hand it over to the procuratorate, and the procuratorate is unlikely to do so." He did not realize that it was a crime, refused to plead guilty, and had a bad attitude. He also admitted to the police that he knew that the motorcycle he bought was stolen, and he liked to buy cheap ones. "

Ye Bai asked, "Then how did you decide in the end?"

"The case is not big, and in the end, the fine is the sole penalty. The motorcycles bought cheaply constitute the crime of covering up and concealing criminal proceeds."

"Is it okay if he doesn't admit it?"

"According to the interpretation of the Supreme Law and the Supreme Court, if you know that the motor vehicle is stolen, robbed, defrauded, snatched, sold, pawned, assembled, etc., you will be convicted of the crime of covering up and concealing the proceeds of crime. This knowledge is not yours in practice. It’s fine to say that you didn’t know it was stolen goods, but if you bought it at a price significantly lower than the market price without a reasonable explanation, it will generally be deemed knowing.”

After Zhou Zhicheng finished speaking, he suddenly thought of the upcoming fundraising party, and asked, "Yan Jia, is your program for the fundraising party ready?"

of course not.

Zhao Yanjia frowned slightly: "Why don't I perform on stage and play golf?"

Ye Bai sneered: "Then you might as well let Lawyer Jiang go on stage and perform a fight with the hen."

……

Zhou Zhicheng and his group returned to Zhou's house, Zhao Yanjia took the lead to enter the canteen, lay down on the glass counter, and shouted: "Grandma Cai, I'm so hungry, I want to drink AD calcium milk."

Grandma Cai is taking a nap upstairs.

The person at the counter was Grandpa Zhou who was watching TV. He gave a row of milk to Zhao Yanjia. He poked his head back and saw no one. He scolded: "You are the only one who runs fast. What about Chengcheng? You are so brave. Before the lawyer came back, you came back first."

After Zhao Yanjia inserted straws into Ye Bai's and Lu He's feeding bottles, he took another deep sip of milk himself, and said, "The two of them are out there with their vanity inflated."

Hearing this, Zhou Guohua straightened his back, put his hands behind his back, and walked out swaggeringly. Seeing Zhou Zhicheng surrounded by people, he coughed lightly: "What are you doing?"

Zhou Zhicheng and Jiang Xianghuai just walked to the door of the shop, when the sharp-eyed grandma saw the big diamond ring on her hand, immediately held her hand, and observed carefully: "Oh, Chengcheng, is this your wedding ring? "

The other grandmas heard it, and they all gathered around to watch.

"It's not gold, but gold is better. Gold can be used in any age."

"You don't know, it's popular among young people now. My granddaughter bought this kind of diamond when she got married last time. It cost tens of thousands of dollars, but it's not this big."

"Then how much does Chengcheng cost? It's expensive, right?" the grandma asked curiously, "Is this true?"

Zhou Zhicheng also hesitated: "Should...?" She didn't ask Jiang Xianghuai either.

The smile on Jiang Xianghuai's face froze slightly, and before the grannies showed disappointed and condemning expressions, he hurriedly said solemnly: "It's true." He assured him in the simplest words, "It's a well-known foreign brand, and there are also international jewelry. I have bought the identification certificate of the association, the gold ring, the engagement ring, and the daily pairing ring."

A granny nodded: "That's good, we Chengcheng have many matchmakers come to ask, and many people have taken a fancy to her."

"At that time, I felt that you, a boy from other provinces, were different, and you really caught up with Chengcheng."

Jiang Xianghuai smiled gently, their fingers were intertwined, and he looked at the diamond ring on Zhou Zhicheng's hand, only then did he feel a little relieved.

Several grandmas took turns to give him lessons, maybe they didn't want to take lessons, but they just told the truth in their hearts.

"Although you are not old, you are a few years older than Chengcheng, and you want to love your wife."

"The old bachelor who can't find a wife is probably in his 30s... Oh, boy from other provinces, I'm not talking about you."

Jiang Xianghuai knew that none of them had any malicious intentions, so he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you say me, because if Chengcheng doesn't agree to me, I will indeed be an old bachelor."

"However, you have a good job, good character, and good looks. In fact, grandma still thinks highly of you."

"Although you are from out of town, you are Bingcheng's friend, so you are a good match."

Afraid that he would get angry, Zhou Zhicheng turned his head and whispered to him, "They are all my grandma's friends."

Jiang Xianghuai understood what she meant to tell him not to take it to heart, because the grandmas just hoped that he would not think too highly of himself, and hoped that he would cherish Chengcheng well.

As soon as Zhou Guohua came out, the other grandmothers said one after another, "Lawyer Jiang gave Chengcheng a big diamond ring."

"Chengcheng is going to get married, this old man will have double happiness next week, and both his grandson and granddaughter will have a good marriage."

"Where's Cai Mei? Good luck, children are so promising."

Zhou Guohua sighed with emotion: "Chengcheng's fate is indeed good. My old lady had someone figure it out for her before. Wen Quxing came down to earth, born with a pen, and kind-hearted. He has been caring since he was a child. I think back then..."

Zhou Zhicheng hurriedly dragged Jiang Xianghuai in, because she couldn't help blushing when she heard Grandpa Zhou's bragging.

……

It was not the first time Jiang Xianghuai entered Zhou Zhicheng's room.

But every time he entered, he felt an indescribable feeling, probably breaking into her private place, the place where she grew up, which would make him feel that the relationship between the two of them was closer.

He picked Chengcheng up and let her sit on the table.

Zhou Zhicheng didn't resist, and put his hands on his shoulders, he held the back of her head, lowered his head and kissed her, the two of them just pressed their lips together, and she was so tickled by his small stubble that he avoided it , she touched his chin: "You didn't shave yesterday, did you? Didn't the village chief lend you the shaving knife?"

He sighed: "I wanted to shave at first, but Zhao Yanjia said it was for shaving pig hair."

"Has Zhao Yanjia not shaved?"

"He had a good time shaving."

"As long as you have a lot to do, the blades given to you by the village chief are all clean."

Jiang Xianghuai looked into her eyes: "So can't we kiss now?"

"It hurts me." Her eyes were moist.

He didn't want to part with it anymore, so he quietly complained to himself: "This is the end of not loving cleanliness."

Hearing his words, she leaned closer instead, her breath was warm and ambiguous, her wet black eyes looked at him, reflecting his figure, she kissed his lips, wandering around Into the lips and tongue.

She actually took the initiative, Jiang Xianghuai simply closed his eyes, like a young boy, handed over the rhythm of the kiss to her, and let her lead him.

But she stopped kissing again. The moment Wen Ruan retreated, his heart sank for a moment. When he opened his eyes, he saw her taking pictures of him with her mobile phone.

He slightly raised his eyebrows: "Shooting what?"

She showed him the phone screen. In the photo, he had his eyes closed, his eyelashes trembling slightly, his contours were deep, and his thin lips reflected the moist light. It looked like he had just been kissed.

He asked, "Isn't it strange?"

"It's not surprising, it's obviously masculine, it makes people feel distracted."

Jiang Xianghuai seems to understand a little bit. Chengcheng has grown up. I heard that the growth stage of women is like this. When they are young and ignorant, they will be attracted by older mature men, because they can see their predictable future in them. After a successful career, you will fall in love with young boys because they are obedient, in good health, young and sweet.

Chengcheng is also successful in her career now, will she also prefer young boys?Sentimental ones, those who depend on her, will be obedient.

Although his age does not match, but he will be obedient, he said: "Chengcheng, I don't have a job now."

Zhou Zhicheng was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was sad, and to be honest, no matter who heard about him giving up his position as a partner and staying in his hometown, he would think he was crazy.

He sighed in his heart, but he asked brazenly, "Will Lawyer Zhou support me?"

Zhou Zhicheng shook his head subconsciously, and said sincerely: "I can't afford you, Lawyer Jiang, I suggest you go out to work, I can only support myself."

Jiang Xianghuai was joking, so he was not surprised to hear this answer.

But Zhou Zhicheng took it seriously: "Didn't you save the money you earned in the past few years? Did you run out of money after buying the house and the diamond ring? How much money do you have?" She paused, and suggested more sincerely, " Why don't you go back to work at Mindy and work hard for a few years, let's talk about a long-distance relationship for a few years, and then resign after you save enough money, adults need capital to retire early."

He couldn't help laughing, and hugged her: "Then I'll give you the money, so that you can support me." He was serious, "But I'm very expensive, and I'll give you all the money, and it's only enough You can support me."

"Don't worry, even if I find a little wolf dog or a little milk dog, I will never give them a chance to spend my money." Zhou Zhicheng also laughed, "Then what do you want to do after resigning? I don't want to interfere with your decision , It's just that I will be very busy at work in the future, even if it's just in this small county town, if one day, we are out of sync..."

He licked her neck and whispered: "I will follow in your footsteps."

"Last time, Avon didn't say that she had no place to work. Zhao Yanjia thought it would be a good choice to open a coffee shop in the county. I also think it is feasible, and Avon can come to work." You can list the people you want to help, and you can also put your business card in the store to advertise to tourists, well, such a powerful lawyer Zhou is my wife."

"So, you see, I can get involved with your work if I want to, and even if we're really out of sync, I'll catch up with you."

"If you want a lawyer husband, I can get back to work immediately with a certificate. If you want a full-time assistant, I'm not incompetent."

While he was talking, his hands had already lifted off her clothes. Her underwear was no longer the childish style many years ago, but a sexy heavy-work lace with a mature woman's breath. The soft and tender flesh overflowed between his fingers, this is the touch he loves so much, he buried his head in licking it, and heard her breathing faster, in this small space, there were only them.

He still has time to continue: "So, don't worry about the future, you followed me in the past few years, and I will chase you in the next few decades, Chengcheng, no matter how fast you run, as long as you If you are willing to run, I will definitely not fall behind."

Zhou Zhicheng's chest itched slightly, but tears welled up all at once.

She recalled when she was learning to ride a bicycle when she was a child, grandpa supported her car, knowing that she was afraid, but he would tell her: "Chengcheng, don't be afraid, grandpa is behind you, as long as you turn around, I will be there." He did, even if In order for her to learn, he let go of his hand quietly, but he followed her bicycle all the time, encouraging her while panting and running.

In this world, there will be no second man other than his family who will say such things to her. His future vision is centered on her, but he does not kidnap her as a victim. He is independent, but He belonged to her again.

Even if it's just a lie, even if he breaks the oath at this moment in the future.

At least this moment is real.

She was bitten on the chest by him, and she reached into his hair with her hand wearing the wedding ring, and snorted: "I don't just follow you, I really like the law, I like being a lawyer."

Of course he understands, after all, her dedication and love are obvious to all.
