Chapter 296: The Pathetic Man's Hateful Place
That morning, Li Suhong ran to Jingang, after many places, the rural woman finally found Zhaolou Village in the afternoon, in the evening, after a lot of hardship, sat opposite Zhao Zuo, as soon as she entered the door to see Zhao Zuo's face as vicissitudes as in the newspaper, the first cry.
may be the same psychological feeling, Zhao Zuo has a special sympathy for this sudden visitor, helped her up, and invited her to have dinner first, in fact, it was just a few steamed buns that were cold at noon, Li Suhong had never seen such a concern, the more she ate, the lower her voice became, and finally she cried in a low voice, and finally, after stabilizing her emotions a little, she began to tell her experience as a single mother. She said that she took one of her daughter's amputated limbs, soaked them in a jar of alcohol, and then took the jar containing a pair of amputated limbs to catch a train, only to be stopped at the X-ray machine, and also alarmed the station police, saying why she was carrying a pair of horrible broken legs to board the train. In the end, she spent two whole days, crying at the train station for two days, and got the sympathy of the stationmaster, who took responsibility and let her take the train, and then she went through many hardships to go to the public security department to redress her grievances......
On this day, the two chatted until late at night, Zhao Zuo sat on the chair in the center of the room, and Li Suhong on the opposite side cried bitterly while talking, Zhao Zuo also stayed with tears, Li Suhong finished talking about her grievances, Zhao Zuo wiped her tears and said a word: "I understand you, you are all hard-working people!"
That night, Li Suhong stayed in the house that Zhao Zuo had just bought, Li Suhong still remembered very well that the weather was very cold that night, the ground was frozen, and no one could sleep at all, but Zhao Zuo only got an old carpet-like cloth and lay down on the ground.
She slept in the inner room, and Zhao Zuo slept in the outer room.
After sleeping for a few days, I finally slept in a bed as it slept. Zhao Zuo said to some reporters who came to interview him at that time: Everyone is a bitter person, one person is bitter, and two people are also bitter, so it is better to suffer together. β
Hearing this, Zhang Ruiming and Wu Yun both looked at each other, and wondered in their hearts, it was a good thing that this old Zhao could find happiness after he came out, but now at this time, what did he say to himself? Also, Zhang Ruiming looked around at the cramped court dormitory where Zhao Zuo lived now, and looked at the bedding and clothes on the bed, which did not look like the life of the two of them, only the traces of Zhao Zuo's life alone.
So, where has his wife gone now?
Zhang Ruiming listened patiently again.
Zhao Zuo went on to say that it turned out that Li Suhong was from Dongjiang and was not far from Jingang. Soon after the two got together, Li Suhong confessed her life experience to Zhao Zuo: she had several marriages. The last husband was a bottomless pit for losing money because she stubbornly wanted to avenge her daughter and disregarded the family, in the eyes of her husband, she was a bottomless pit for losing money, so he completely drove her out and changed the locks on the door of the house, and she was homeless, so she could only carry her daughter around for treatment and complaints.
At that time, before the two decided to get married, Li Suhong proposed to take wedding photos, when she first heard it, Zhao Zuo felt sorry for money and didn't want to shoot this thing, but then she couldn't stand his fiancΓ©e's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and finally agreed, thinking that since he had "returned to the yang world", he should live a normal life, so the two went to Jingang City to take wedding photos.
At that time, there were several sets of clothes in this wedding photo, and Zhao Zuo was a little unaccustomed to it, he said that "it feels like being tricked", "but I am still very happy". Speaking of which, in front of Zhang Ruiming and Wu Yun, Lao Zhao showed a rare smile on his face, and at the same time took out a large wedding photo from the big box under the bed for the two of them.
In the photo, Zhao Zuo is wearing a black dress, Li Suhong is wearing a white wedding dress, they are snuggled together, and they look quite sweet.
Zhang Ruiming couldn't help but praise: "Master Zhao, this wedding photo is well taken, it looks like you are about the same as me, only in your 30s." β
Lao Zhao just laughed twice, and then said: "I got married on December 14, 2015, just four months and five days after I was released from prison. But we didn't get the certificate yet. It wasn't until April 2011, when my wife went back to divorce her bullshit husband, that we went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register and get a certificate. At that time, the Nanzhou Provincial Public Procuratorate and Law Department learned that I Zhao Zuo had rebuilt my family so quickly, and congratulated them, and sent two bags of rice, two bags of noodles, and a barrel of oil and drinks, just like you now......"
Zhang Ruiming couldn't bear it anymore, he interrupted Zhao Zuoxu's statement, and interjected: "Master Zhao, you see, we are mainly here to visit you today, to understand what needs you have, I see that the life after you say it is quite happy, and we are also very happy, but we mainly want to hear what difficulties you have encountered later, by the way, sister-in-law is ...... now Didn't I live with you? or did you go back to your hometown?"
Hearing this, Zhao Zuo's face darkened a little, as if his thinking and memory were linear, and when he was interrupted by Zhang Ruiming, he didn't know how to continue, his eyes became cloudy, and his mouth just opened and closed silently, but he couldn't make a sound.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Ruiming remembered his painful experience in prison, and thought about it, maybe this Zhao Zuo had suffered some irreversible psychological trauma, and Zhang Ruiming felt bad, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay...... Blame me for talking too much, Master Zhao, just go on, follow your steps and speak slowly, don't be in a hurry! Where did you get the wedding wine? After you got married, how are you doing?"
Hearing such a specific question, Zhao Zuo's expression recovered a little, "Where did you get the wine?
When the face came out, the whole world knew me, and the media came to the whole table!"
Zhao Zuo continued to talk about this question he liked, the day he held the wedding wine. Nearby villagers and media from all over the country have flocked to Zhaolou Village, which is extremely lively, and there has not been such a lively banquet in their village for many years.
In order to marry this daughter-in-law, Zhao Zuo spent a lot of money ruthlessly, "pressing the color head" pressed 56,000, "the bride got on the sedan chair" gave 10,000, "got off the sedan chair" was 10,000, and spent 4,008 to buy electric cars and mobile phones, and finally spent more than 3,000 on "lifting the hijab", "three samples", and "serving tea".
In total, Zhao Zuo spent nearly 100,000 yuan to marry this wife, others said that he was just famous and spent unjust money, but Zhao Zuo kept grinning at Zhang Ruiming and said: "They know a fart! I am spending money to rush my bad luck with red happy events!"
Zhang Ruiming looked at the look on Lao Zhao's face, but he felt that this old man took the trouble to tell him the details of these weddings, more because the money had already been spent, if he didn't let others know and change his reputation, it would really fall into the water.
"Is there any difference after you get married? Can you get used to it all of a sudden?"
"After marriage...... At first, it was very good, the county government built me a new building, and my wife and I lived in a new house, but after I was released from prison, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and I was in prison for more than ten years, in a prison cell, at least seven or eight "classmates" lived, and the night was basically snoring one after another, and then after I got married, the house was too big and too quiet, and I couldn't sleep at all. Fortunately, with my wife, Li Suhong, she can speak well, and things are reasonable, I just need to listen to her, and the family has gradually become angry, and I have a good life, but ......"
"And then? But what? What do you do behind you?"
Zhang Ruiming has always wanted to find out the real reason why Zhao Zuo fell to this point, and at this time he seized the opportunity to ask, he had a faint hunch that Zhao Zuo's life trajectory can really outline many profound social status quo, a person who has been tricked by fate and abandoned by society for more than ten years, suddenly returned to real life, this ever-changing, completely different world, for him who has been behind the times for more than ten years, is tantamount to a dangerous steel jungle.
Sure enough, Zhao Zuo's tone changed, and his memory wheel came to a low ebb period that he didn't want to remember, and he sighed in a low tone: "The back is from the change of my wife......"
Although Li Suhong and Zhao Zuo are the same age, Li Suhong looks much younger than Zhao Zuo, and people in his village say that "Li Suhong is like a model".
"What kind of life did I spend in prison, she was outside, although she went to the door of the government every day to cry out for grievances, but at least she never stayed in prison, she didn't work ten hours a day, and she studied and reported every day. β
Speaking of the difference in appearance between him and Li Suhong in the village at that time, Zhao Zuo is still uncomfortable.
"At the beginning, when I was still relatively well-off, she Li Suhong liked to buy some cosmetics and health care products, and she was keen on health preservation every day. She dresses up trendy, likes to wear a brown sunglasses, and acts like a foreigner, and when she goes out with me, she must carry a handbag and wear high heels before she goes out. β
When Wu Yun heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Then Master Zhao, you have found such a trendy wife, are you willing to spend money for her?"
The timing of this question was a little inappropriate to ask at this time, Zhang Ruiming immediately stopped Wu Yun with his eyes, but in his heart, he gave this kid a thumbs up, just to find out why Zhao Zuo fell to this point, is it related to this Li Suhong?
At the mention of this, Zhao Zuo replied unexpectedly sincerely, "Indeed, I have nothing to say to her." At that time, in terms of spending, Zhao Zuo himself was still very frugal. But he is very generous to Li Suhong's money, Li Suhong wants to spend 5,000 yuan to buy a health care product, and spend two or three hundred yuan to make a hair. Zhao Zuo's eyes didn't blink, and Zhao Zuo still said, "She dresses up beautifully, buys some food and drink, and at least the money is spent on her, I don't have anything to say, it's just ......."
"What's it?" Zhang Ruiming sensitively noticed that this memory had finally reached a critical juncture.
Zhao Zuo sighed and told the real reason why he had fallen here
One day in 16 years, Li Suhong suddenly said that she got a fortune project to go to Gansu from a friend. She asked Zhao Zuo and her to go to Gansu quickly, Zhao Zuo was not very willing to go, he wanted to stay in Jingang, he had just gotten married, his life had been delayed for too long, and he had not had the opportunity to enjoy the joy of family, he wanted to have a son, and he wanted to hold a grandson. But Li Suhong was very unhappy, and she didn't let Zhao Zuo touch it, which made Zhao Zuo very uncomfortable.
Next, Zhao Zuo's weak temperament really couldn't stand Li Suhong's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and finally, under the excuse that Li Suhong complained that there was no honeymoon tourism, Zhao Zuo finally relented and also went to Gansu to travel, and by the way, take a look at the "fortune project".
So, in June 2016, Zhao Zuo and Li Suhong went to Gansu together, along with several of her so-called friends. On the way, the two took the high-speed train for the first time, and Li Suhong wore the toad sunglasses and held Zhao Zuo in Gansu for three or four days. At the beginning, they visited the ecological park, the national park, and the logistics system, all of which were received by the staff of that project, and they were not received
Chang Luxury, then took classes for a few days, watched PPT, watched company planning, regional planning, and finally closed the door mysteriously, and forced everyone to hand over their mobile phones, Zhao Zuo recalled, at that time, it felt the same as agent training.
After ensuring safety, the manager of the project took out a red-headed document and told them mysteriously, "The state is engaged in the large-scale development of the western region, and there is an important secret project that requires people to invest, but there are few people in Gansu, and the province has less than four million people, and there is no money." They can't take advantage of this great thing, but there are many people in the south of the country, and there is money, and the State Council has opened up some quotas, and after many investigations, they can only pass it, and only after passing it can they be qualified to participate in this project, which will not only make a lot of money, but also make 600 percent of the annual profits! It can also promote local development!
In the end, the manager raised his tone and excitedly announced that the people who are staying in this conference room now are the "social elites" who have passed the assessment and are eligible to participate in the investment of this special building materials project!
At this time, Li Suhong and her friends cheered all of a sudden, everyone's eyes flashed with excitement, after all, Zhao Zuo had experienced ten years of unjust imprisonment, and these people were a little different, he kept an eye at the time, and asked to see the business license of the project, but he didn't expect the manager to say nothing, he took a business license for building materials and steel to Zhao Zuo, and then Zhao Zuo believed a few points, and then he saw that the manager was still driving a 1.5 million Porsche. Zhao Zuo fully believed in the strength of this manager. In addition, Li Suhong has been saying to Zhao Zuo beside him, "This is a great opportunity, no matter what, you must not let the money in the passbook be idle!"
Zhao Zuo then agreed to vote in this "secret project of the State Council".
According to the manager, each investor can only invest 10 shares, each of which is 40,000 yuan. Zhao Zuo and Li Suhong were a little hesitant at first, not daring to vote so much. I just wanted to invest tens of thousands of yuan to try, but I didn't expect that as soon as Li Suhong's "friends" started to invest in registration, they took out hundreds of thousands of dollars and invested them frantically, and some people even had a "conflict" with the staff present of the project because they couldn't invest more, and they couldn't exceed the "quota" of 400,000 yuan per person, and they almost had a big fight!
In such a crazy atmosphere, with such superb "acting skills", Zhao Zuo and Li Suhong voted a total of 60 copies, a total of 240,000.
ββ¦β¦ At that time, I withdrew some cash from Tianjin and Hong Kong, but I didn't get enough, only 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, and I withdrew nearly 200,000 yuan in Gansu. Zhao Zuo recalled: "When I withdrew money over the counter, the limit of large amounts of funds was triggered, and the bank manager came to me and asked me why I was withdrawing so much cash? At that time, I was only thinking about the 600% profit of that year, and I was afraid that these banks would know about our project, so I lied to them and said that it was for buying a house." The manager didn't suspect much and asked me to take the money away. β
In addition, Zhao Zuo took another 20,000 yuan to pay the handling fee of the company participating in the project in Gansu and the rental fee of the office space.
"A total of 255,000. Zhao Zuo said that the name on the contract was signed by Li Suhong, and he was still a little pimple in his heart at that time, for fear that even if Li Suhong gave the money, he would not be able to get the more than 2 million in the future.
Li Suhong was smiling happily on the train back to Jingang, and she said to Zhao Zuo excitedly: "As long as it takes two years, after two years, every investor can get a return of 2 million! We can buy a house in Jingang City!"
But when I went to Gansu for the second time, I didn't see any special steel shipped to Zhao Zuo's "company", and even that company couldn't find any signs of establishment on the Internet.
Zhao Zuo was very strange at the time, so Li Suhong made a few phone calls to ask, and the people in Gansu responded: "The special steel has to come out of the secret military base, and there is no cash * goods yet, as long as it comes out, it is all Zhao Zuo's, and the company can't find out the registration news, but also because this is a "secret project of the State Council", and it must not be leaked casually." β
Hearing this, Zhang Ruiming and Wu Yun both understood what kind of bureau this was, this is the simplest MLM scam!
Wu Yun was young and couldn't help but ask, "Do you still believe this?!
Unexpectedly, in the face of such a lame scam, Zhao Zuo actually chose to believe it now, his face changed, and he said to Wu Yun with an iron face: "Don't talk nonsense! If it weren't for the bad things of the reporters in the back! I would have gotten this batch of special steel a long time ago! I would have made a fortune a long time ago! These are the miscellaneous reporters!"
Seeing that this old man was still defending those liars, Wu Yun opened his mouth wide, completely ignoring the ignorance of Zhao Zuo in front of him. Zhang Ruiming is not surprised, after ten years of public prosecutor career, he has seen too many scams, and he knows very well where the weaknesses of people like Zhao Zuo are, and he knows too well the thinking mode of people like Zhao Zuo.
He secretly said in his heart: "It's not that Zhao Zuo is too stupid, but he subconsciously can't let himself admit that these hundreds of thousands of people have been cheated, many rural people are like this, they are used to thinking about the good side of everything, and would rather help others deceive themselves." β
Zhang Ruiming asked Zhao Zuo in a gentle tone completely different from Wu Yun's, "...... Since Master Zhao said that the reporter hurt you, can you tell me how the reporter hurt you?"
As soon as someone asked about this, Zhao Zuo's eyes opened at this time, gritted his teeth, and narrated the next situation in a vicious tone.
