Chapter Twenty-Three: Life

The poor second generation continues to be poor, the rich second generation continues to be wealthy, and the second generation of officials continues to be powerful.

It is said that children should not lose at the starting line, but there is a gap at the starting line.

Li Jiansheng and Cui Jie are both children of poor families, and both of them may have had beautiful dreams about their future lives at the same time.

Perhaps they have all walked a path full of flowers in their respective hometowns.

Maybe they all lived in a dimly lit alley in their respective cities.

Perhaps, they are two people in parallel worlds, destined to meet.

Later, they met in the barracks.

In a flood rescue operation, Li Jiansheng was swept away by the flood in order to help his fellow villagers rescue a goat, and at this time, it was Cui Jie who saved him.

The two became friends of life and death.

After demobilization, Li Jiansheng and Cui Jie set up a stall to sell barbecued sausages together.

Later, their stalls were violently overturned, stoves were smashed with bricks, and tricycles were forcibly confiscated.

The ground was in shambles, and the uniformed men walked away.

They didn't see that the two teenagers squatting on the ground, one with helplessness and despair in his eyes, and the other with anger and hatred in his eyes.

The two cleaned up, and the stall was set up again. With the experience of the last time, this time they have a clear division of labor, one person sets up a stall, and one person looks at the wind.

Although their stalls were not overturned again, the appearance of being scared and fleeing every day still made the two of them feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Li Jiansheng pointed to the store across the street and sighed: "If only we could move there and open a store." ”

Facing Li Jiansheng's fantasy, Cui Jie just smiled bitterly: "Let's set up a stall to make a few dollars, my parents are still waiting for money to buy medicine and see a doctor." ”

"But if we move there, no one will care about us." Li Jiansheng looked at Cui Jie.

Cui Jie also looked at Li Jiansheng: "Don't you know, don't say buy such a house, even if you rent it, it will cost a lot of money, and our money is not enough at all." Even if it is rented, how long will it take to earn it back? We're still young and can afford to fight, but I can't afford my parents' illness......"

In this way, for the first time, the two had a disagreement, because one of them was an idealist and the other was a realist.

But at this time, a very critical question appeared in the hearts of the two of them, that is, is the cleanliness of a city really more important than the livelihood of ordinary people?

Later, the two partnered to set up a stall for half a year. For half a year, their stalls had to be enforced by the chengguan almost once a week. Especially the urban management of Lehua County, after being caught, everything will start again.

Because they don't have the money to give gifts to the captain of the city management, and they can't get back what they have been temporarily withheld.

Li Jiansheng really couldn't stand this kind of life, so he decided to find a way to rent a store and do business legally and compliantly.

The two parted ways since then, Li Jiansheng went into business, and Cui Jie continued to set up a stall.

Li Jiansheng, who has cultural literacy and business acumen, soon improved after changing careers, while Cui Jie is still fighting wits and courage with the urban management of Lehua County.

Li Jiansheng has never forgotten Cui Jie, his brother, and his life-saving benefactor from beginning to end.

He invited Cui Jie to do business with him many times, but Cui Jie politely refused, saying that he was used to this kind of life.

Li Jiansheng respects Cui Jie's choice, but he privately sends a sum of money to Cui Jie's parents every month to take Cui Jie's parents to see a doctor.

Subsequently, Li Jiansheng opened the Veterans Club, the original purpose was to hope that more people could pay attention to this group of veterans, and find a way for everyone to help Cui Jie together.

But at this time, Cui Jie killed someone.

After Cui Jie escaped, the first call was made to Li Jiansheng, crying and begging him, hoping that he would help take care of his parents.

After Cui Jie turned himself in, Li Jiansheng stepped through the threshold of various law firms, hoping to help Cui Jie find a defense lawyer.

He succeeded, and Cui Jie was given a suspended death sentence.

But he also failed because he still didn't let Cui Jie and his parents have a good life.

At that moment, he was desperate.

Because there are still thousands of Cui Jie in the world.

He can't save thousands of Cui Jie, but he can make the world without Cui Jie anymore.

That day, he was walking down the street and saw a sausage stand.

At this moment, he thought of Cui Jie again.

He was about to buy a roast sausage, but he met Sun Hairong, the captain of the Urban Management Law Enforcement Brigade of Tiebei District, Lehua County, who led a team to enforce the law.

The scene he had been through before, it happened again.

Although the protagonist is no longer him, in his heart, he is still the protagonist.

Fruit stands were overturned, iron pots for frying chestnuts were smashed, and tricycles and scales were pushed onto trucks.

He instinctively took out his phone to take pictures, but was physically threatened.

It was Sun Hairong and Zheng Wenxiong who threatened him.

At that moment, the hatred, humiliation, anger, and despair in my heart all merged into one and turned into murderous intent.

After the chengguan left, the scene was in shambles, and he silently picked up a knife for cutting sausages that had fallen on the ground.

At the beginning, Cui Jie used such a knife to send himself to prison.

He had been following the chengguan and saw them walk into Zhao Laosi's barbecue restaurant.

He stayed nearby until he saw the drunken Sun Hairong leave alone.

Holding a fruit knife in his hand, he used the means he had trained in the army to track, kill, and escape.

After that, he used the same method to kill Tian Minglang.

The reason is also that on the morning of the same day, Tian Minglang led a team to violently enforce the law.

He doesn't have the feeling of killing, he only has the illusion of changing the status quo.

When he killed two people, he suddenly found that after the death of a chengguan captain, the next chengguan captain would appear.

He has become Cui Jie, and after him, there will still be countless Cui Jie.

So, he thought that at Tian Minglang's law enforcement scene, there was an unannounced Tang Mengxue.

He thought that Tang Mengxue was a policeman who was investigating in disguise, so he had the question that questioned her identity as a reporter just now.

……

The news of Li Jiansheng's arrest immediately became an explosive news that many reporters were vying to break the news first.

Mu Yuda, director of the Lehua County Public Security Bureau, personally held a press conference.

At the press conference, two issues came into focus.

The first question is when the violent law enforcement situation of Lehua County will be completely eradicated, how will the future road occupation operators survive, how to make the traders and the urban management no longer hostile, and find a suitable way to deal with it.

The second question is how to follow up on the relevant policies on the placement, employment, and entrepreneurship of veterans, and how to ensure that these people who once gave up their small families to defend the motherland can live a decent life after leaving the army.

The relevant authorities have taken note of the issue and have been quick to adopt relevant policies and laws and regulations.

Warmth and humanity have become the standard answers to these two questions.
