Jiang Xinya defended Sun Hongtao's innocence in legitimate defense. I know that it is impossible for the court to acquit Sun Hongtao, but Jiang Xinya will do her best.

After she took the case, she stared at me and said in a mocking tone: "Lin Yi, this is the idyllic life you want."

Such a bloody case happened in the village where I often lived, and it would be false to say that I was not disappointed in my heart, but I have long been accustomed to these life-and-death entanglements, so this case has not affected my current state of mind.

Since Cheng Shaojie and I got married, because of each other's knots, Jiang Xinya and have not had serious communication for a long time, Cheng Jiahui was admitted to a prestigious school, especially Li Haoyu's unexpected admission to a more ideal university, which made her slowly calm down, began to examine and accept my choice, and we were finally able to speak calmly.

I said to Jiang Xinya very seriously: "There is indeed no such bloody case in my idyllic life, but I am not surprised that such a thing happened in this chaotic and chaotic era, Niu Chrysanthemum, this woman is not bad in the end, she is just not equal to her eyes Li Xiuqing can do nothing to get the favor of her husband for decades and other men, and she is a hundred times harder than her but not as comfortable as her." In fact, she doesn't have to be like this, although she didn't get her husband's favor like Li Xiuqing, but she kept her word at home, her husband bowed his head to his ear, and her son obeyed, she could live her life in her own way, but she only saw that others were better than her, but she couldn't see what she had, so she spent half of her life in this kind of indignation, gathering full of anger. In fact, this is not just Niu Juhua's problem, now too many people are chasing fame and fortune uncontrollably, only others have what they don't have, but they can't see what they have. But I believe that no matter how agitated the water is, there will eventually be a time when the water will subside and settle, and there will be times when people who are crazy about chasing fame and fortune will be tired, and people will stop and let themselves rest and think about what they are pursuing. Remember when the protagonist in Jack London's "Love of Life" was rescued, he tried his best on the ship to catch all the food and hide it in his hands? We, the people who have just gotten rid of poverty and hunger and just have wealth, no matter how much wealth we have at present, have not really gotten rid of the consciousness of hunger, and are still desperately snatching food for emergencies, but in fact we are no longer hungry people, many people just can't get rid of this illusion for the time being, but we must finally relax ourselves, let ourselves see things other than bread, and give our hearts a sense of calmness and peace."

Jiang Xinya silently looked at her hand for a while and said, "Do you really believe that you can find what you want here?" ”

I nodded affirmatively and said: "I want to try hard, no matter how detached my heart is, but since I live in this rolling red dust, I don't want to escape, I can't find a ready-made good home, I have to build myself a safe place here, I only have this life, it doesn't matter whether the past is good or bad, I have experienced everything, I just need peace now."

Jiang Xinya chuckled and said, "Still, I think that no matter what you have experienced over the years, have you never gotten rid of the influence of Wu Tianyang's betrayal on you?" Is this kind of escape in your heart a kind of escape, disgust or escape from the vanity fair where Wu Tianyang exists, don't you think this is also a kind of weakness? ”。

"That's the way it started at first, it's just that as time goes by, I slowly sink down and can quietly examine my heart, I know what kind of life I want, and now I think about Wu Tianyang just to let me recognize what happened to me. As for weakness, is there anything braver than a determination not to chase fame and fortune? I said with a self-deprecating smile.

Jiang Xinya smiled and said in silence for a while: "Maybe you can find yourself a safe place here, but I can't." Still, I'm going to go abroad after this case is done."

"Not coming back?" I say.

"I'm not coming back," Jiang Xinya said with certainty.

I don't know what to say, it's not that I don't feel that she is leaving, but I have always been unwilling to face this result, it is impossible for her to go on with Zhang Minxuan, but here she has no way to separate from Zhang Minxuan. Although Jiang Xinya is beautiful, she only uses it as a weapon and does not rely on it. She has a clear goal and is never pretentious, and I feel a sense of sympathy when I meet her. She has witnessed my love for Wu Tianyang together, and my beauty and happiness at that time have become the best memory of me in her heart. I know that is also her own dream, she is so smart and beautiful and has to use it to chase fame and fortune, but that is not what she wants the most. She always felt that I should have a perfect relationship, that I was her dream, and that my failure was the shattering of her dream. So she didn't exclude me from being with Chen Jingde, but she was extremely dissatisfied with my marriage with Cheng Shaojie. We have been together for more than 20 years, and our affection for each other is far greater than that of family. Once you part, you feel that a large piece of your life will also be taken away.

Just when Jiang Xinya was about to leave, Zhang Minxuan's father died, and the big tree in their family fell completely, and they pulled his father back to Qingbei County for funeral, which is his father's birthplace and birthplace, the tree has big roots and deep roots, and the scenery they want can only be reflected here, in Qingzhou City, he is just an inconspicuous petty official, and no one cares.

At the funeral home, two families held a funeral on the same day, and the other was the wife of Director Wang of the Finance Bureau. Both of them are some face-staking people in Qingbei County, and at this time, the funeral parlor is full of traffic, if it weren't for the mourning music released from the two condolence halls, you don't think this is a funeral.

Jiang Xinya stood far away from Zhang Minxuan and his family, and refused to do more than the form of leaving, and said more, I felt that she was too indifferent and said dissatisfiedly: "After all, it is the person you have called your father for more than 20 years, you are a little too much, right?" ”

Jiang Xinya sneered: "If you go and look at the faces of Zhang Minhua and Zhang Minxuan, you will feel that any true feelings here are very ridiculous, didn't you hear what their sister and brother said just now?" Zhang Minhua actually went to look through the gift slip just now, and scolded the white-eyed wolf of Director Huang of the Water Conservancy Bureau, who had just given the gift and left, forgetting who brought him up in the first place."

I smiled and said, "Zhang Minhua used to be a small leader, so it's too calm, right?" ”。

Jiang Xinya pouted and said: "In the past, no matter what, I had to put on the identity of a self-righteous and condescending family. Since I retired, I can't even put on a show, and I have become more and more unbearable to talk and act, as if people all over the world owe their family and are sorry for their family. ”

I smiled helplessly and said, "You also married Zhang Minxuan because of their family's power, and you have seen a lot of it a long time ago, so why should you be too worried about these?" ”

Jiang Xinya snorted and said: "That bit of power was earned by the old man lying there, just use it, they still think that it is their family's ancestral heirloom and they can't leave their house?" What you said is also that I also came for this bit of power in the first place, since it is for the sake of profit, then let it be dispersed, why force yourself to look at their faces here"

I knew that what Jiang Xinya said was the truth, so I sighed and changed the topic and said, "What about Zhang Minxuan's second sister?" Why haven't you seen her all this time? ”

Jiang Xinya smiled and said: "I went to revise the eulogy to be read by the secretary tomorrow with Director Liu of the Party Office just now, and they were not satisfied with the eulogy written by the Party Office, and Zhang Minhua said that the evaluation was not high enough and not touching."

I laughed and said, "They are still not satisfied with what the party office wrote? That's a place to wear a top hat."

Jiang Xinya pouted and said, "The tall hat is not as high as you want!" Zhang Minhua hated to hold her father's great achievements to the same level as the president of the country, which is ridiculous."

"Is Zhang Minhua making trouble because of menopause?" I said.

Jiang Xinya smiled: "Will you be like this when you reach menopause?" ”

"I don't know, maybe it's another kind of unbearable and I don't know, but you can't see it anyway," I said with some gloom.

Jiang Xinya looked at me and stopped talking. I know that leaving is the only choice for Jiang Xinya to start her life again, and it is too unfair for her to spend her whole life in this family like this. Therefore, from the time she said she was going to the present, I did not say a word of retention.

A black Toyota SUV drove into the funeral home, and I saw Zhang Minhua and Zhang Minxuan, who were not far away, looking at the car coming in, and I knew that they were paying attention to whether the people in the car were walking towards the condolence hall on their side or to the condolence hall of Director Wang's house next to it. Seeing the people in the car walking directly to the side after getting out of the car, the disappointed expressions on the faces of the two sisters and brothers, Jiang Xinya and I looked at each other, I sighed softly and shook my head, in fact, everyone has vanity, and has desires for power and profit, but in life, this kind of undisguised and unrestrained expression really makes it difficult to receive it.

Zhang Minxuan found that Jiang Xinya and I were looking at him and walked over, and said indignantly: "The current people are too fucking powerful, Wang Youcai's wife is just an old lady in the countryside, how many people know when she is alive, you look at the current situation, there are a bunch of people who are sloppy and patting horses, isn't it just the director of the Finance Bureau?" What's the big deal, tomorrow morning when my dad comes out, the county magistrate and the secretary won't dare to come? ”。

I looked at the busy Wang family's condolence hall, and I also understood Zhang Minxuan's grievances, but this feng shui takes turns, and you can't be at your house every day.

Seeing that Jiang Xinya and I didn't mean to be amoulded, he turned his face and asked me, "Why didn't you see Cheng Shaojie coming?" Now that we have money, we don't take it seriously, do we? ”

Now Zhang Minxuan's feelings about Cheng Shaojie are very complicated, looking down on his humble status but envying him for having a lot of money now, it can be said that it is the feeling of a declining aristocrat to a nouveau riche, envy, jealousy and a little hateful.

Listening to Zhang Minxuan's somewhat sour and somewhat contemptuous tone, I said disapprerovitically: "It's the autumn harvest now, and the fields are very busy."

"He's so rich now and still doing farm work? You're too greedy, aren't you? ”

"Is there a necessary relationship between work and money? If you have money, you won't work? Could it be that from now on, Cheng Shaojie counts money at home every day to play! I laughed.

"You should do some decent work at work, right?"

I stared at him with a smile and said, "I think farming is a very decent job, every effort is a gain, no deception or deception, and it is good to be frank and unscrupulous."

He saw that although I had a smile on my face, it was not like a joke when he said these words, and he felt that the words were not speculative, and when he saw that someone was coming in, he turned and walked to the door to meet them.

Jiang Xinya pouted disdainfully and said: "Talking has never made people feel comfortable, but they don't feel it themselves, and they are very proud."

I patted her arm and said, "Okay, it's been like this for decades, why bother." Then he looked around the crowd and asked, "Hu Yali hasn't been here?" "I know that Li Qiutong will never come to join in this fun, but it is a little strange not to see Hu Yali.

"She came earlier than you, and after turning around and paying the gift money, she went to the next house with a group of leaders, it seems that Hu Yali is now concentrating on her career and entering the circle."

"It started a little late but it was too late, the progress in the past two years has been very fast, since I went to Guangfeng Township as the head of the township, I have become more and more leaders, and I have been talking to us from time to time to make a little official." I said with a smile.

Jiang Xinya looked at me sideways and said, "What's the matter, I'm uncomfortable?" ”

"No, I think she should be like this, I don't like to be an outlier who doesn't love a line, abide by the rules of the industry, strictly abide by the bottom line of life, and being an official is also a career that can be respected."

"You're saying a good thing, I didn't see you take action."

"I'm a very disciplined and dedicated police officer, aren't I?"

"So you really want Cheng Shaojie to be an authentic farmer for the rest of his life?"

"Why not? Rochester was just a landowner, but educated and educated. In the end, Washington only quietly closed his life as a farmer. Isn't it good that Cheng Shaojie can be a landlord or a farmer now? ”

Jiang Xinya laughed and said, "Does Cheng Shaojie know who Rochester and Washington are?" ”

I laughed: "He may not know who Rochester is, but Washington he does, but it doesn't matter, he just needs to know who he is."
