Chapter 1: Rebirth

"Comrade judge, my son must divorce this marriage. This woman has not been married to our family for 20 years without going to her mother's family. The family's money is taken back to their parents' house to charge the big-tailed wolf, the child doesn't care if he's sick, and the husband can't serve when he has a car accident. Such a daughter-in-law, we don't want anything! ”

In the Intermediate Court of Q City, Zhang Cuilian's mother-in-law was foaming at the mouth and told her that she was not.

Gu Zhicheng sat across from her with a frown, noncommittal about what his mother said.

"From the day she got married, today her mother's family is going to build a house and needs money, tomorrow her third aunt is short of money to borrow money, and the day after tomorrow her mother's brother is going to buy and sell to borrow money. My granddaughter has grown so big, can you ask her if she has ever eaten a popsicle at her grandmother's house? Did her grandmother give her child a penny? Zhang Cuilian admitted that she was indeed ashamed of her in-laws over the years.

One party insists on divorce, and the other party refuses to live or die. Seeing that it was half past eleven, I could only rest in court and continue in the afternoon.

"Sister Zhang, doesn't your mother's family know that you are divorced today? Why didn't anyone come to the court to accompany you? "Lawyer Xiao Li is a girl who has just graduated from university, she is young and inexperienced. No one approached her for a lawsuit, so she went to legal aid. The first person to help is Zhang Cuilian.

"I know, but I don't want to come!" Zhang Cuilian closed her eyes and sat on the bench in the corridor, she was alone here. And Gu Zhicheng disappeared without a trace at the moment of adjournment.

"What's there to be ashamed of in a divorce? Besides, isn't this divorce also because you helped them too much, which caused dissatisfaction among the people in your family? Xiao Li handed over a bun, how could Zhang Cuilian be in the mood to eat at this time. He tugged at the corners of his mouth and pushed it over.

After 22 years of marriage, her daughter Qiaoqiao is now 19 years old. In the past 22 years, her mother-in-law has been very critical of her. There is no contradiction between her and Gu Zhicheng, and he never says a word about how much money he spends on his mother's family. It's just that the mother-in-law and sister-in-law really don't like it and like to sow discord in front of him. Not only that, but her daughter Qiaoqiao was brainwashed by her grandmother and aunt, and she ignored her very disrespectfully.

The reason for this divorce was because Qiao Qiao was wronged in her mother's family. In a rage, he ran home, but in the process of running back, he was scratched by a motorcycle and fractured his lower leg.

Because of his daughter's injury, Gu Zhicheng was angry with her for the first time in more than 20 years. Not once did this tall, silent man not stand behind his mother when she was at odds with her. even secretly handed over the bonus to her, so that she could take it back to her parents' house to give her brother an emergency without telling Gu's mother.

"I understand your filial parents as a daughter, and I can also understand that you didn't have time to serve me when I was hospitalized, and I don't care if the money you lent to my mother's family can be returned. But Zhang Cuilian, you are Qiaoqiao's mother! How can you tolerate her being bullied and still scolding her? She's broken in the face now, what if she dies? ”

Gu Zhicheng's words smashed into Zhang Cuilian's heart word by word! She regretted it too, and she didn't expect it. That's her daughter, how could she not feel distressed!

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Gu's mother walked over with a cane. Zhang Cuilian hurriedly ran over to help her, but as soon as her hand reached over, she was slapped by Qiaoqiao.

"You're less pretty! I don't understand why I'm your daughter! Qiaoqiao's eyes were indifferent, and the words in his mouth were like knives, piercing Zhang Cuilian's heart.

"Warp!" Zhang Cuilian burst into tears, covering her mouth and looking at her daughter in disbelief.

"You don't act here anymore, I'm here to see my dad divorcing you today. That is, my dad is stupid, so he will be deceived by you for so many years. If you really feel sorry for me, don't drag it out. After a while, the court was held, and it was agreed that the divorce should not be grinding there. As if someone in this family welcomes you, hurry up and get a divorce! Ignoring her mother's tears, she glared fiercely.

Gu's mother snorted coldly and walked past Zhang Cuilian, and slowly helped her granddaughter into the courtroom.

"Xiaoqiu, where is your brother?" Outside the door, Zhang Cuilian heard Gu's mother anxiously asking her sister-in-law Gu Zhiqiu.

has lived with him for more than 20 years, and Zhang Cuilian knows him too well. The old lady forced him to divorce for so many years, but he refused. If it hadn't happened to Qiao Qiao this time, he wouldn't have come to the court in a fit of rage.

Now that the court is in session, he has not appeared, and his mobile phone is turned off, and Gu Zhiqiu can't find anyone anywhere. Zhang Cuilian knew that he was still soft-hearted and unwilling to part with him.

Because the party Gu Zhicheng is not there, there is no way to end this marriage. Gu's mother attacked Zhang Cuilian on the spot, and Qiaoqiao also insulted her very much.

Zhang Cuilian dragged her tired body back to her parents' house, this house is a relocation house, the third floor lives her parents, and the sixth floor lives her younger brother Zhang Cuijun. The house when she moved at the beginning was still built by Gu Zhicheng's transfer fee. The mother's family has not repaid the money so far, saying that it is moving back to a house, but now there is no news.

Walking to the third floor, the door was open. Zhang Cuilian was just about to open the door and walk in, when she heard her brother and daughter-in-law Wang Li talking loudly.

"Mom! Where does the eldest sister live after the divorce? This is divorced, don't you look at it, how much money can Gu Zhicheng give to the eldest sister? Zhang Cuilian frowned, a little angry in her heart.

She is still thinking about how much money she can get for divorce? If it weren't for her, would Qiao Qiao have had a car accident?

"I'm not going to the courthouse. What a good place that is, how embarrassing it is for others to see me there! Zhang's mother's voice floated faintly, and Zhang Cuilian knew in her heart that her mother would think so.

"Mom! The eldest sister must have some money in her hand, and now that she is divorced, she will have to have 180,000 yuan if she talks to Gu Zhicheng. You tell her to take it out and we'll open a breakfast shop together! The voice of her younger brother Zhang Cuijun sounded, and Zhang Cuilian felt a little angry in her heart.

He is not angry, he eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles all day long, and does nothing. In addition to being able to suck blood and gnaw the old, what else can you do? The breakfast shop is so hard, how can he do it!

"Oops, I asked. Your eldest sister has no money in her hand, and Gu Zhicheng has not given her money in the past few years! Zhang's mother didn't speak very well, and seemed to have a lot of opinions on this matter.

"She won't lie to you, will she?" Wang Li was a little unconvinced: "If she has no money, she will be divorced at such an old age." You can't rely on our family in the future? How can this be, or I'll introduce her to a job! ”

Obviously, Wang Li doesn't want her eldest sister to live in her mother-in-law's house, even if this eldest sister is bothering to serve the family.

"What can she do? You see how she looks good, whether she has any education, and she has no money. It's better to find her a partner and marry her off! Zhang Cuijun's voice sounded again.

Zhang Cuilian's body was a little weak, leaning against the wall and slowly listening to what her relatives in the room said.

At this time, Zhang's father finally spoke: "Just divorced and looking for a partner?" What do you think? I thought our daughter was indecent! ”

Wang Li hummed unconvinced: "Dad, the eldest sister has no job and no money now, and she is divorced today." What do you think she will do in the future? Isn't Xiaojun and I also thinking about her? Besides, even if you go out to work, how much money can you make a month? She's so stupid, the house will definitely not be given to her. The money is also warped, what else do you think she can have? It's better to find a man to marry, and you won't have to worry about our family in the future! ”

Trouble? She actually said that she would affect the family?

"I can do it!" Mother Zhang actually believed her daughter-in-law's words, and nodded in agreement: "Xiaoli, you should hurry up and give your eldest sister Zhang Luo Zhang Luo." Even if you don't get married, find someone who is willing to want her to live together! ”

Illegal cohabitation? Zhang Cuilian couldn't imagine that her mother could agree to do this by herself, where is this?

"Hey! By the way, do you know that there was an Uncle Dong in our original area? His wife died, and I heard that now he is asking someone to find a wife. Otherwise, let my sister go! Zhang Cuijun suddenly thought of it and said to his parents excitedly.

"That's not going to work! Your Uncle Dong is older than your father, so people can't do it! Mother Zhang waved her hand, thinking that this thing was ridiculous.

"Oh, people are so old, of course they want to find a young one. My sister is only 41 this year, not much stronger than those old ladies? Wang Li also felt that this idea was very good, and echoed her husband to encourage her in-laws to agree.

"Pull it down! How bad it is to let your former neighbors know! Dad Zhang didn't have any additional thoughts about this, just afraid that others would laugh at him.

"What's that! The eldest sister is divorced, what else can she find? How rich is my Uncle Dong? The pension is more than 3,000 a month, not to mention, and there are several houses in the family. As long as my sister gets the certificate with him, how can the house get a set, right? And he has more than 3,000 yuan a month, is it in my sister's hands? The old man was able to live again, and he lived for twenty years until he was eighty years old. How much money can my sister save? At that time, my sister was in her 60s. Qiao Qiao has grown up, do you have to feed my sister! Isn't her life all right, what are she still doing at work? Zhang Cuijun's abacus clanged, but they didn't know that Zhang Cuilian outside the door was as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Zhang Cuilian couldn't listen to the words anymore, and she rushed out of the community like crazy. Walking aimlessly, it was not until it was dark that he found himself sitting on the edge of a lake in the park.

How much she has paid for this family over the years, others don't know, don't parents and younger brothers know?

What has she done in her life? Her parents are partial, her younger brother treats her as an ATM, and no one cares if she is doing well! Except for Gu Zhicheng!

She blindly asks for him, asks for care, asks for money, and asks for everything she needs. Twenty years finally forced this man to bear it, and even then he was reluctant to leave himself. But he knew better than anyone that once she left him, she had no way out.

"Gu Zhicheng, I'm sorry! If there is a next life, I will definitely be good to you. I'm not going to let you get up early and go out in the dark to drive a taxi to earn money, and I'm not going to ask you to cook for me when you're sick. I'm going to make you live a good life, and I'll never let Qiao Qiao hate me again! ”

Zhang Cuilian faced the dark lake and cried and apologized to Gu Zhicheng. Then he jumped in and jumped in!

On December 21, 2012, the whole world was saying that this day was the end of the world. Zhang Cuilian doesn't know if today is the end of the world, but she knows that today is her end.
