Chapter 4: The Victims of the City

Wan Li chatted at Xiao Xia's house until late before leaving.

Although I was happy when we talked, the consequence was that I almost overslept in the morning. If it weren't for the death of someone in the next building, and the Taoist priest invited by her family to do things, blowing and knocking, she would definitely be late.

This is her first day at a new place of work, so how can she give a bad impression of not keeping time!

She hurried downstairs and almost knocked down her aunt on the fifth floor. She bowed her head and apologized, but was caught.

"Grandma Zhang in Building 7 is gone!" Auntie said.

Xiao Xia knew that this aunt was famous for her love of talking and chatting, and she couldn't help but be a little nervous, afraid of being pulled to talk endlessly, so she hurriedly asked a few casual questions to express her concern, and wanted to leave early after chatting.

As a result, the aunt pulled her to talk about the cause and effect for a full five minutes, and then pouted, "What's the use of holding a big funeral now, making it so lively?" It's not for the sake of showing the living, that they are filial children! When Grandma Zhang was alive, she was just thrown in a nursing home, and they didn't come to visit once in their lives! ”

Not far behind the residential building rented by Xiao Xia is a private nursing home. Because the vegetable market is behind it, Xiao Xia occasionally passes by, and what he sees and hears says that the environment there is not good.

Sometimes, many kind-hearted aunts and uncles will go to the nursing home to send some food and drink, and when they come back, they will say that the service there is relatively poor, the nursing staff is not enough, and some frail elderly people will lie on the bed with poor air circulation for many years.

Xiao Xia saw Grandma Zhang in a wheelchair several times, looking behind the railing of the iron gate, and Yifu waited for someone to come to see her. Xiao Xia thought that the old man's children would go, after all, it was only ten minutes away! But when I heard it today, it turned out that they had been stingy with charity for even ten minutes!

Auntie nagged a lot of curses, but Xiao Xia couldn't listen to them, and only felt that her heart was cured into a ball as if it had been pickled in a lot of spicy things!

Decades of nurturing grace, even those ten minutes of travel can't be exchanged!

She came to her new place of work in such a bad mood, and found that it was actually the top floor of a high-rise apartment, the environment was quite good, and there was a considerable gap from the dilapidated scenery she imagined, and it seemed that the private sponsorship group was still very generous.

However, this building is newly built, and the occupancy rate is still very low.

Guan Zheng extended a very sincere welcome to her arrival and introduced her to the other three staff members. Among them, two were graduates who had just passed the bar exam, a man and a woman, and an old gentleman who was a handful of years.

In addition to Guan Zheng, the two graduates may find a more promising firm after the one-year internship is completed, and the senior may also retire at any time. Xiao Xia never thought that she was a backward element in Changkong Law Firm, a marginal figure that no one would pay attention to, but she became a backbone here, which made her have the idea that she must work hard!

"This room is facing the sun, let's make an office for a beautiful woman!" Guan Zheng led Xiao Xia to a very nice room, and even made a joke.

After less than ten minutes of contact, Xiao Xia took a closer look at her new boss. Although she is confused, she has always been very accurate in seeing people. She felt that Guan Zheng was a very serious and rigorous, slightly stubborn, and energetic person, which could be seen from the overall feeling of the office, but he was a good person through and through, so that people could not be guarded.

Moreover, she did not expect that she would have a separate office.

"This—it doesn't have to be, does it? It's good if I share a room with someone else. ”

"It's okay, there are four rooms here, one for me, one for Uncle Chai, one for you, and one for the two little interns, just right." Guan Zheng said with a smile, Xiao Xia felt that the lines on his face were much softer when he smiled, and he looked cute and less rigid, "Besides, you came out of the sky, it is second to none, you can't come to our small temple to entrust you, Teacher Pan told me a thousand times." ”

"Don't say that, I'll be ashamed." Xiao Xia said very sincerely, "I admire you, you have such a high level of knowledge and such great ideals." ”

"It's not a great ideal, it's a very ordinary ideal." Guan Zheng seemed to be happy to discuss with Xiao Xia, "Our country is seriously lacking in strength, scope and scope of legal aid, and there are still many gaps. ”

Xiao Xia nodded yes, and admired Guan Zheng's firm and persistent belief again. Then, the two talked about the office for a while, Guan Zheng left, and Xiao Xia stayed in the office to read the various materials and files available to the office.

It took a whole morning for Xiao Xia to understand that this private chain of legal aid institutions is called 'Helping Hands' Firm, which mainly provides free legal services to people who cannot afford to seek legal help. In view of the fact that in such large cities, violations of law and discipline will be somewhat restrained and not as unscrupulous as in remote areas, the main issue at present is how to protect the legitimate rights and interests of women, children, and the elderly in the family.

This reminded her of what happened to Grandma Zhang in the next building, and the unhappiness she had just forgotten because of work came to her mind again.

She has always believed that for private or private nursing homes, they must be strictly controlled and monitored, and these institutions cannot be for profit, otherwise how can the elderly enjoy their old age in peace? It's not that those who run nursing homes are bad, but they really have the purpose of making money, and other related problems will inevitably occur.

The nursing home should be a resting home for the elderly, not a living grave for the elderly to die!

"Natsu-chan!" Guan Zheng knocked on the open door, "May I call you?" ”

"Of course."

"You and I go after lunch, I have a case here. An old man named Wang Changfa and his wife came to the court and wanted to sue their son Wang Hua, because we made notes at the court, so the court introduced him to us. ”

"What's going on?" Xiao Xia frowned, why are there so many unfilial sons recently? She had never noticed it before.

"The facts of the case are very simple, that is, Wang Hua did not fulfill his maintenance obligations, not only did he not give any child support, but he did not even show his face. The evidence is very sufficient, and it can be disposed of in accordance with law. However, the court believes that mediation should be carried out first, and wants us to try it first and try not to waste litigation resources. ”

"That's good, after all, the purpose of this kind of lawsuit is not to see who wins and who loses, if you can coordinate and communicate, the return of family affection is the best." Xiao Xia nodded, but noticed that Guan Zheng was a little displeased.

Because Wang Hua adopted an attitude of passive resistance, he could not meet him at all, so after lunch, the two had to follow the clues and suddenly came to Wang Hua's work unit. It turned out that he turned out to be the company's purchasing manager, and he was fully capable of supporting the elderly.

He seems to have become accustomed to the visits of the two lawyers, and he has responded with great skill. He himself may still think that he is tepid and reasonable, but in Xiao Xia's opinion, he is simply unreasonable and shameless!

He put a lot of objective factors on the table, said a lot of things that showed that his life was difficult, and said that the old man still had the ability to take care of himself and work, and that he could completely support himself, and he just wanted to evade his obligations. In particular, he aimed at Xiao Xia with a pair of eyes that were fascinated by color as he spoke, making Xiao Xia want to gouge out his eyeballs and heart on the spot.

"He is hopeless, he should be directly dragged to prison for a few years of reform!" After Xiao Xia walked out of the company where Wang Hua worked, he said angrily.

"So I didn't refute your words just now, but let the facts educate you." Guan Zheng said.

"Which one?"

"You say: After all, the purpose of this kind of lawsuit is not to see who wins and who loses, if you can coordinate and communicate, it is best to return family affection." Guan Zheng repeated, "But I think that the law must punish those who violate the law, and this can reflect the justice of the law." We must not be emotional, because it will tolerate adultery, and only by aggravating the criminal law can we have the function of making an example of others, and the law is to maintain social stability with its violence and coercion. ”

Xiao Xia glanced at Guan Zheng and felt that although he was an upright and good person with a warm blood, he was a little too particular about right and wrong, and he looked a little paranoid.

Along the way, she didn't find the words to refute Guan Zheng. When I got home, I saw Grandma Zhang's children singing the scriptures with the Taoist priests, and they were 'sad' and false.

She despised these two people to the extreme, and thought to herself, these things that are inferior to beasts are really killable!

The first day of her new job made her extremely unhappy, but she was so tired that at ten o'clock in the evening, she still fell asleep on time.

And when she was in a sweet dream, Wang Hua was staggering home.

He had business tonight, and he drank too much and couldn't drive, so he had to take a taxi back. But the community is not allowed to rent in, so he has to walk a little way by himself.

It's a very high-end community, with a lot of land and high housing prices, and there is a large green belt in the middle of the area, and to get to his home is to cross this beautiful little garden.

Originally, there was a winding gravel path in the garden, but taking the path would drag the way home, so Wang Hua saw that there was no one around, so he stepped on the lawn and flowers without merit. Halfway through, I suddenly heard a cat meow.

Where did the kittens come from?

He stopped, looking around.

He usually loves cats. His cat eats the highest grade cat food, sleeps in the highest grade cat basket, and uses the highest grade shampoo lotion. Those who laughed at him often treated cats a hundred times better than his parents!

Say whatever you want, he loves cats anyway!

"Mimi, where are you, come out quickly." He leaned down and searched among the flowers.

"Meow—" The invisible kitten barked again.

Wang Hua followed the prestige, only to see a bush shake, feeling that the kitten was here, and immediately got in.

Sure enough, the kitten sat upright at the end of the bush, waiting for him for a long time. But when he looked closely, he only felt that this kitten was a little different.

It was pure black, with big, green eyes and a smiling expression. This look makes people feel very weird, as if it is not a kitten sitting opposite, but a person in cat skin!

"Strange cat!" He didn't like this cat a little anymore, and his back was cold for some reason. He tried to get up and leave, only to find that there were a lot of vines around him for some reason, and it seemed in—no, he was indeed tied to a tree.

"Ahem—" The kitten coughed suddenly, and then slowly walked over, the cat's face smirking.

Wang Hua woke up in an instant. I wanted to shout, but I found that I couldn't scream at all. Struggling but unable to move, he watched the kitten get closer and closer to him!

It approached him and climbed up on top of him, its four little paws crushing him so hard that it shouldn't have been the weight of a kitten, until it was face to face with him, eye to eye, and it stopped.

What is it for? Why does it feel like you're dying! Wang Hua is creepy!

However, the kitten did not move, only stared at Wang Hua, and it was not until he saw in the cat's eyes that he was covered with leaves like a plant, and was so frightened that he was about to die, that the kitten suddenly stretched out his paws and scratched his face.

After a sense of detachment, one of his eyes fell and was swallowed by the kitten. Then, an unknown leaf of a plant peeked through his eyehole.

Severe pain -

His head felt like it was about to explode, but at the same time it made his senses very clear.

Something grows in his head-
