"My son has come here, and he has ...... with his own distorted discipline and education," Sang Zixin muttered to herself.

I have always had the courage to take on the idea, but now it's too late to say anything. As a mother, although she didn't know about it, she never found out about her son's misdeeds and clues, and always thought that he grew up in "swaddling". After her son has been at home for a long time, she will have many thoughts: can she stay at home like this, can she wait for problems? Or do you want to integrate into society...... Later, my son really walked out, but it was always at home, in the hotel, and then from the hotel to go home. Sang Zixin was not satisfied with his behavior here, but his son had taken this step after all. For more than 30 years, Sang Zixin has still seen her son's growth. Just as she put down the things she had always been entangled in, he actually entered the detention center. The cruel reality completely crushed Sang Zixin, and the fact of breaking the law and committing crimes almost made Sang Zixin frightened. As a result, she had the anger and self-reproach of "unforgivable sins". After a painful blow, he calmed down, "This won't solve the problem." She thought.

However, Yu Houcheng said to her with care: "We must treat the problem correctly and do our things well." ”

Although Wei Wei's matter had a great impact on Houcheng, it was just the thoughts and opinions of the tongue chewers. He doesn't care what others say or think of him, he only cares about what he and his lover do. As a result, under the persuasion of Houcheng, Sang Zixin's languishing mood gradually disappeared. She told her husband: "The only person I have to look for is a lawyer, who speaks on behalf of my son." With the participation of lawyers, the case will be open, fair and transparent. ”

Yu Houcheng very much agrees with the idea of lover.

When they chose a lawyer for their son, their eyes were not on the well-known lawyers in Jiangcheng, but on their sense of responsibility and ability. It's not that there are no lawyers who mess around for money, so when they selected Lawyer Wu, 10,000 taels of yuan was just the money to hire a lawyer. Sang Zixin and Yu Houcheng recognized that they were reasonable here, and they did not bargain, maybe a "first-class" lawyer was worth so much money.

Lawyer Wu, who is nearly 50 years old, is slightly chubby, upper-middle-class, has a pair of flexible eyes, and is articulate and amiable. After he passed on the facts of Wei Wei's crime to Sang Zixin and Yu Houcheng, they only knew why their son entered the detention center.

However, what puzzled them was: how did such a child who can't smoke and fire get in on this path? Since the accident in Wei Wei, they have been dizzy, unable to eat and sleep, and have the sadness and helplessness of despair coming.

Sang Zixin and Yu Houcheng also have a few friends and colleagues, and in this regard, they can really talk, so the two of them want to bring something and go to the door. However, when they were about to arrive, Sang Zixin changed her hexagram halfway, she pulled her husband and walked back, and inexplicably Yu Houcheng followed her back home.

"Don't waste any more time and do our best to do as much as we can." Sang Zixin said weakly.

"That's fine," Yu Houcheng said, "just do your best." In the current situation, finding someone does not necessarily lead to good results. ”

"A lawyer still needs to be hired." She affirmed.

Yu Houcheng rubbed his daughter-in-law who was sitting on the sofa and comforted her. "Some things can only backfire, but are there still people who really do things? It's just money, it's another thing to do it or not. ”

"People are unpredictable, and now it is not what it used to be, and what can be solved by oneself...... Besides, this matter is not something that can be solved by finding someone. Sang Zixin's helpless words made Yu Houcheng's heart brighten.

As a result, Sang Zixin's attitude towards her son finally changed. Perhaps she summed up the lessons of the past, and at the same time reflected on whether her abnormal thoughts and attitudes in the past caused the consequences of today?

Before the trial, Sang Zixin and Yu Houcheng wanted to talk to Lawyer Wu. However, what they didn't expect was that Mr. Wu came as scheduled and agreed to meet at the law firm. When Mr. Wu met the client's family members, he politely invited them to the house. After sitting down, Lawyer Wu brought the tea to them, and then Lawyer Wu sat down. He started from Wei Wei's growth experience, how he went astray, from the cause of the matter, and also analyzed many shortcomings in Wei Wei's growth. Mr. Wu's thinking is clear and organized. Although his words are slow, he still speaks eloquently.

Sang Zixin and Yu Houcheng listened to Lawyer Wu's words and admired his attainments and skills very much. Lawyer Wu thought of all the things they had never thought of and said that he had given them ......

Lawyer Wu said: "Wei Wei is simple-minded and has poor discernment. Now that it has happened, I hope you can face it and let go of your special expectations. For the sake of the children, and for the fairness and justice of the law, I will do my best to do things well...... You can rest assured, and at the same time, you must not let my client compromise and convince him of the crimes he has committed. No matter how the case is reversed, the law is fair and just, open and transparent to the parties and their families, and never follows personal feelings, and at the same time, never tramples on one party. If I want to make the case an ironclad case, I must do it well and do a good job......"

Sang Zixin and Yu Houcheng, who were sitting opposite Lawyer Wu, only nodded in praise.

"Thank you!" Sang Zixin said seriously.

"I wish you every success." Yu Houcheng said.

So, the two said goodbye to Lawyer Wu with satisfaction.

On the day the verdict was announced, Sang Zixin and Yu Houcheng waited in the auditorium and sat there quietly...... Lawyer Wu stood up calmly, and in the face of more than a dozen pages of defense in his hand, he started from the root cause of Wei Wei's crime, and he couldn't distinguish the direction because of his simple thinking and naivety. When his accomplice was caught, he thought of various ways to protect himself, so to speak, to avoid being caught......

At the court session, Wei Wei knew that his mother and Uncle Yu were in the audience, but he did not look at them. When he entered the trial and announced the verdict, the moment he saw Lawyer Wu, his eyes did not miss, and he kept staring at Lawyer Wu. Wei Wei pinned all his hopes on Lawyer Wu, perhaps he did not hear the lawyer's defense clearly, but the eyes that stared and watched never left Lawyer Wu's impassioned face......

Sang Zixin and Yu Houcheng were in the trial, but they just listened to every word of Lawyer Wu silently.

The court adjourned.

Wei Wei was still standing there, looking at Lawyer Wu who had just sat down. He suddenly became nervous, and his heart was pounding. Although he stood there without moving, his pale face became even whiter. He knew that the judge would pronounce the sentence when he came out again.

However, Sang Zixin and Yu Houcheng in the auditorium also became nervous, Yu Houcheng held his daughter-in-law's trembling hand tightly, and looked at Wei Wei quietly.

When the presiding judge and his party walked up again, another door of the courtroom also opened, and at the same time, Shifu, Xiaoding, and Xiaowen walked in. When they met, they just talked to each other with their eyes. At this time, Wei Wei walked down and stood with them, facing the presiding judge...... When Wei Wei heard that he was sentenced to one year and three months, his body began to shake, his legs also weakened, and he could fall at any time, and his eyes were eclipsed in horror. After a while, he barely raised his head, shook his insensitive head a few times, and still stood there.

The master sentenced him to seven months.

Xiao Ding was sentenced to six months.

Xiaowen was sentenced to six months.

Although it was the master who pulled him down the quagmire, he had one more crime of fraud than the master (that is, taking out the money in the card).

Body aches and heart discomfort hit him at the same time. Wei Wei put his hands on his chest, and his fingers shook his chest. "At this time, the body can't collapse, and you have to grit your teeth to get through......" he thought.

At the end of the sentence, when they left, Wei Wei turned his attention to his mother and Uncle Yu. And Sang Zixin, who was expressionless, looked at her son and was uncomfortably out of breath. "My son has come here, who is to blame? Blame me for my unprincipled protection, or blindly ......" She looked at the back of her son's departure, not knowing whether to sigh or blame herself.

Wei Wei returned to the detention center, took off the handcuffs, and then moved his luggage to another cell under the supervision and guidance of the correctional officer. When he entered the cell, there were ten beds inside, and there was no such thing as that. However, he still couldn't keep his spirits up. He made the bed listlessly, and finally made it, and then sat down on the bed, and he wanted to lie down for a while, and when he looked around, several people were sitting on the bed, so he dismissed the idea of lying down, and sat there in a wooden way. Perhaps, he should have thought of something at this time, but his mind went blank...... "I walked into prison in such a daze." Perhaps, that's how he summed it up. When it was time to eat, he came to his senses, he didn't want to eat, but seeing that people were going out, he reluctantly went out.

Prisoners seem to be much more relaxed and free than they were in detention centers. When I first entered the detention center, I was at a loss in my heart, and I was anxious about my affairs all day long, and later I just thought that I could give a lesser sentence. However, they knew in their hearts that such thoughts were useless, but they would all think so. Well, now the sentence has been handed down. It seems like everything is over, everything is normal again, but it seems that everything is starting again. Now no one thinks about those useless things, and begins to plan for their own work, study and life in prison.

Early the next morning, Wei Wei received a letter from his family to visit him. He pulled off his clothes, put on handcuffs, and followed the guards out. They went straight to the reception room and went through a door, and then the prison guard opened another door and let Wei Wei in by himself. An enclosed reception room, with a piece of soundproof glass, separates the prisoners from their families. When Wei Wei saw his mother and Uncle Yu again after a few months, his tears immediately flowed out, and he couldn't communicate with others because he couldn't cry.

Sang Zixin and Yu Houcheng met Wei Wei. "This kid is so thin ......"

They held the phone, hoping to talk to their son, but Wei Wei kept crying and choked his throat. Wei Wei, who rarely sheds tears, may have shed all the tears of his life at this time. He stared at his loved ones outside, tears still streaming down his face. Sang Zixin motioned him to pick up the phone several times, but he still couldn't pick it up, just looked at his mother and Uncle Yu...... When the time for the visit came, Wei Wei turned around and went out.

Sang Zixin put down the phone, took the tissue handed over by her husband, wiped the tears from their faces, and walked out worriedly.
