Li Yaling is both satisfied and proud of her current life, which is the ideal life in her mind. When she was in the countryside, when she was still a little girl, she was so desperate to yearn for the city, but what the city was, she couldn't tell. When she walked into the city, she found that her desire was expanding with the city. As a result, she began to be dissatisfied with the life given to her by the city, so she divorced and then devoted herself to the life of Deputy Director Wang.

Now, she couldn't imagine a better life, and she was satisfied. Every morning, she went downstairs with Deputy Director Wang and got into Deputy Director Wang's special car to work. In the hospital, she is now a pivotal figure, everyone knows that she is the wife of Deputy Director Wang, people are very friendly and envious of her, and no matter where she goes, people treat her with respect. She is now the deputy director of the Department of Internal Medicine, and among their batch of workers, peasants and soldiers, she has made the fastest progress, and there are still a few people who have still not passed the exam, so naturally they have no right to prescribe patients. A doctor has no authority to treat patients, just like a soldier confronting the enemy on the battlefield and suddenly finding that there are no bullets in the chamber of the gun.

Li Yaling is no longer a question of prescription power, but a question of when she will become a director. The head of their internal medicine department will retire next year, and at the moment, she is one of the most competitive candidates, and before that, the dean has already spoken to her, and she is now waiting for the head of the department to retire, and she will take office.

Since marrying Deputy Director Wang, she has really made great contributions to the construction of the hospital. In order to expand, the hospital is preparing to build a building for the inpatient department, and it has been several years since the report was sent to the Department of Health, but it has not been approved. Later, the dean found her, hoping to react to the actual difficulties of the hospital with the leadership, who the leader was, of course, Deputy Director Wang. So in bed, she said this to Deputy Director Wang.

Deputy Director Wang didn't say yes or no, but just said, "In two days, let your dean come to my office."

A few days later, the dean went. After coming back, the dean looked like a spring breeze, and went to the department to take her hand and said: Thank you Xiao Li, you have made a great contribution to our hospital.

It didn't take long for the construction of the inpatient building to begin in full swing. Now, as soon as she walked in front of the inpatient building, which was to be completed, she felt a sense of pride, so she walked in and out of the hospital with her chest held high, and everyone was polite to her.

She is satisfied with all this, and to be a city person is to be such a person. With so many people in the city, who has lived to such a state?

Life at home is also warm and romantic, she and Deputy Director Wang live in such a large area, she has a wide heart. Sometimes, she walks from room to room, touching and looking, there is an unreal feeling, but this is her real home, and she dreams and dreams for a while.

In the evening, Deputy Director Wang entertained a lot, of course, he took her with him every time, and then said lightly: This is my wife, Dr. Li.

Everyone was stunned at first, and then there were a lot of beautiful words, saying that Deputy Director Wang and she were smiling, in the praise of everyone, they were the most suitable pair, that was a talented woman, a stunning beauty. In the compliments of everyone, they have the feeling of seeing each other late.

They can't wait to get back home, loving once and again. After all, Deputy Director Wang is old, but Li Yaling is just the right age, and under her fire, Deputy Director Wang sometimes feels that he has more than enough heart and not enough strength. Li Yaling tried her best to prescribe some medicines from the hospital, most of which were related to men's kidneys and essence, and then kept letting Deputy Director Wang take it, so Deputy Director Wang had extra strength, and the lives of the two of them became better again.

Since the two got married, Wang Juan rarely came back, but occasionally came back, and came and went in a hurry. Zhang Weiping never came.

Deputy Director Wang was afraid that Li Yaling would be too careful, so he explained: They have children and can't spare time. They're busy.

Li Yaling doesn't care who comes and who doesn't, every time Deputy Director Wang explains this, she smiles and says: I'm not a few years older than Wang Juan, but she's embarrassed.

As soon as Li Yaling said this, Deputy Director Wang loved her even more. Once, he whispered in her ear and said contentedly: I have only now discovered that the old husband and young wife are so good.

She blushed and hit him with her fists, saying as she did: shameless, shameless.

The common crisis between the two of them is that Deputy Director Wang should retire in two or three years. Will retirement still be like this? The answer is no, and they all have a sense of urgency.

She often said to him: People go to tea and cool, you have to think about the days to come.

Deputy Director Wang said confidently: Don't worry, I have arranged everything, and when the time comes, let's go on a trip and go wherever we want.

Li Yaling has a number of this in her heart, which can be seen from the passbook in her hand, and the money in the passbook in her hand has now risen to seven figures. She was happy, but also a little worried, and she said to him worriedly countless times: There will be nothing wrong, right?

He smiled and said: What can it be, which leader doesn't do it now?

After thinking about it, he said: In order for you to live without grievances, it is worth it to make me a little frightened.

She listened to his vow of love and plunged into his arms, she really felt very happy, she didn't expect that Deputy Director Wang would be so affectionate and righteous, better than before marriage. She didn't dare to expect anything. However, this result has been there, and it is such a result, and she really feels very satisfied.

If life goes on like this, life is the same. However, at this moment, life changed.

Li Yaling first heard that the provincial discipline inspection personnel were stationed in the Health Department, of course, it was related to the discipline inspection. At the beginning, Deputy Director Wang did not change much. She also asked him worriedly: Is it okay? He said lightly: What can there be.

Later, when she was at work, she received a call from Deputy Director Wang, who told her on the phone: The organ has a meeting in the evening, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go back today.

For three days in a row, Deputy Director Wang did not come back, and her heart flickered, and she had a premonition that something big was about to happen. What she was most worried about now was the passbook, she couldn't sleep anymore, she got up several times in the middle of the night and put the passbook in several places in a row. In the end, she was sure that nothing went wrong, but she still couldn't settle down.

Recently, in the hospital, people are also talking about each other, and she faintly heard that several leaders of the Department of Health have had accidents. She didn't hear what was going on, and as soon as the people saw her, they stopped talking about what to do, and as soon as she walked on her front foot, people began to talk about it again.

She knew that these things must be related to Deputy Director Wang. She began to call Deputy Director Wang's phone, but no one answered, and finally she called him again, but he didn't call back, she knew that the problem was a little serious.

Suddenly, one day, people from the provincial discipline inspection and the procuratorate came to the hospital, and they showed their work cards and search warrants, saying that they were going to search their homes. As a result, their home was searched, and they really didn't find the passbook she had carefully hidden. Her heart was a little more at ease.

Later, a leader talked to her and said: Take it out.

She pretended not to understand and looked at the leader in surprise: What?

The leader said: Lao Wang has already explained the fold, take it out.

What else could she say, she took it out.

The evidence is ironclad, Deputy Director Wang committed the crime of accepting bribes, and soon the procuratorate prosecuted, and it was very fast, and the court sentenced it, because Deputy Director Wang pleaded guilty very well, and handed over all the bribes and stolen money, including a part of the squandering, and also used the roof of the house where he lives now. Deputy Director Wang was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

After Deputy Director Wang was sentenced, she went to the detention center to see Deputy Director Wang once. I haven't seen her for a few months, Deputy Director Wang seems to have changed into a different person, old and ugly, she really doesn't believe that the person in front of her is the red-faced Deputy Director Wang in the past.

Deputy Director Wang shouted: Xiao Li.

Then he burst into tears.

Deputy Director Wang said: Xiao Li, I hurt you, and we have nothing left now.

Two days ago, the four-bedroom house had been sealed by the court. Before this, the house was reformed, and the house was already the private property of Deputy Director Wang, and if the stolen goods were to be returned, the house could naturally be repaid.

Li Yaling wanted to cry without tears, but she was now disheartened.

Deputy Director Wang said: I originally wanted to live a happy old age, but I didn't expect it to fall to the point where I am now, don't blame me.

What else could Li Yaling say, she could only cry silently.

Deputy Director Wang said: Ten years is not short, you are still young, what will we do in the future, you have the final say.

With that, he was escorted away by the guards.

Li Yaling now lives in a single dormitory in the hospital, in a dormitory with the newly assigned college students. She looked at a single bed with a box under it that contained her own change of clothes, she really had nothing now, and like the college students in the dormitory, life couldn't be simpler. Everywhere she goes, she can now hear what others are saying about her.

Later, the hospital held a meeting. She was dismissed from her position as deputy director of the Department of Internal Medicine and transferred to the outpatient department. She still doesn't have the right to a prescription.

Life seems to be a circle, she starts from a starting point, walks a circle and returns to the original starting point. At that moment, Li Yaling's heart was empty and chaotic, as if she had figured out everything, but she didn't seem to have figured out anything.

She had sincerely pursued every step of her life, but now she was empty-handed, and her heart was replaced by a deep despair. At this time, Li Yaling was already disheartened, and in this process, she thought about the experience of more than ten years, from Liu Shuanglin to Zhang Weiping, and then Zhang Song and Deputy Director Wang, men are like a chain of life, clearly and profoundly into her life. At this time, she remembered Zhang Weiping the most, Zhang Weiping was the person who invested the most emotion in her youth, and the person who really changed her fate, and finally she gave up Zhang Weiping and chose another life.

Zhang Weiping is undoubtedly a celebrity in this city, he often appears on TV, and Zhang Weiping's investment in urban construction and the ribbon-cutting ceremony of public welfare undertakings can be seen in Zhang Weiping. At that time, she felt that Zhang Weiping was both close and far away, which was very unreal, and sometimes she even wondered if she and Zhang Weiping had ever had such a relationship experience. Everything that happened in the past was like a dream.

That day, she was walking on the road in front of the hospital, and there was a light rain in the sky, she didn't have an umbrella, and let the light rain drench herself. She was bored, but she had nowhere to go. It was only then that she realized that she did not have a true friend in this city. In her newly assigned college student's dormitory, the college student's boyfriend came, and the two of them hid in the dormitory and were in love. She can't bear to be a light bulb there, in fact, their relationship will bring back many unbearable and sad memories for her. In the light rain, she felt lonely and cold.

At this time, a car stopped beside her, she didn't look at the car, thinking that the car was meant to be parked there, and she had influenced people to park. She was walking slowly, but the car followed her closely, she turned her head once, and she saw Zhang Weiping in the car through the windshield wipers. She stopped there, her mouth wide open in surprise.

Zhang Weiping got out of the car and looked at her.

He said, "How do you walk in the rain and run errands?"

She didn't speak, just looked at him dreamily.

He said, "Get in the car, I'll drop you off somewhere."

She still didn't move, he reached out and pulled her for a moment, and that's when she got into his car.

He sat in the car and asked, "Where are you going?"

She shook her head, and for some reason, tears welled up uncontrollably.

He took a soft breath and started the car. Finally they sat down in a café.

After a while, she said: I'm like this now, don't you think it's ridiculous?

He took a breath and said, "If you think so, it's okay."

She sobbed softly again.

He said, "I passed by the entrance of your hospital and saw you, and it's as simple as that."

She lowered her head and didn't look at him. She didn't even have the courage to go see him. With his head so low, he whispered for a while: Why do you say my life is so bad, I go all out to pursue it every time, but every time I am covered in bruises.

He said: It's not that your life is bad, it's that you have too much hope for yourself.

She glanced at him and saw that he was also looking at her, and she covered her face with her hands, letting the tears run down her fingers. She choked up and said: Before, I thought I was already from the city, but now I realize that I am not, and now I don't even have a home, and I don't even have my own space in a dormitory with a young man.

She couldn't stop crying when she said this.

He didn't speak, his eyes kept looking at her.

She also said, "I don't even have a friend, and I feel bad, but who listens to me?"

Later, she stopped talking and stopped crying, just stirring the coffee in front of her.

After a long time, and a long time, she said softly: Wei Ping, you don't hate me, do you?

He said: It used to be a little, but it has nothing to do with hate.

She also said: This world is really small, after I married Deputy Director Wang, I learned that you and Deputy Director Wang have this kind of relationship, which is God's retribution for me.

He smoked and hid himself in the smoke, so that she could not see her expression for a while. Later, she offered to leave, he came out with her, it was raining a little heavier outside, she sat in the car, and found that he did not take her back to the hospital, but drove on another road, she didn't know what he was going to do, so she simply closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes, the car was already parked in the underground garage, she got out of the car, didn't ask what it was, and followed him up the elevator with him. Finally he stopped in front of a door. Opening the door with the key, she stood there, her heart beating fast.

What appeared in front of her was a very large house, larger than the director-level house where she had lived. The house is well furnished, but no one seems to have lived in it.

He put the key on the table and he said: If you want, you can live here in the future.

She glanced at the key on the coffee table and looked at him in surprise. He didn't look at her this time, reached out and took out another business card of his own, put it on the coffee table, and said: If you need my help in the future, you can call me.

With that, he closed the door and left.

She stood there half-asleep, half-awake, not really knowing where she was. Her brain was not flexible at all that day, and she quickly fell asleep in bed, and when she woke up the next day, she remembered what it was all for.

In the early days, she thought more about Zhang Weiping's revival of the old love and raising her here, but what is herself, is it his lover or second wife, to be his lover and second wife are older, is there such a lover and second wife? Wang Juan she has seen, she looks no worse than herself at all, and she is younger than herself. Can I really be Zhang Weiping's second wife?

She was looking forward to it, a little excited, a little nervous. She knew that the current Zhang Weiping was no longer the young man who dressed himself up in a rural atmosphere. What is he? He is now the big boss, and she can't guess his family property. After thinking about it like this, she felt at ease, she lived in this big house, looked at the touch, and then asked herself in her heart: This is the house that Zhang Weiping gave herself? She seems to see another turn in her life.

But for many days, Zhang Weiping never came again, not even a phone call. She didn't want to wait so long, she wanted to take the initiative, so she made a call to Zhang Weiping. After making the call, she dressed herself, then put on her pajamas, and sat there very freshly waiting for Zhang Weiping.

Zhang Weiping finally came and glanced at her curiously. She blushed a little and walked straight to the bedroom. She sat on the bed in the bedroom for a long time and didn't see Zhang Weiping come in, so she walked out again, but saw Zhang Weiping sitting on the sofa smoking, and when she saw her, she asked: What can I say, as long as I can do it.

She calmed down and said, "I'm sorry."

She went into the room again and changed her clothes before coming out. She sat across from him and said, "Why did you let me live here?"

He said, "At the behest of my father-in-law, he asked us to take care of you." You say you don't have a house to live in, you can live here as you like. If you don't have a solid situation, you can also write the property owner as you.

Disappointed, she lowered her head.

He said: Even if I give you this house, if my father-in-law can live until the day he is released from prison, this is the place where he will retire.

Only then did she realize that in law, she was still the wife of Deputy Director Wang.

After a while, she raised her head, and her expression was already a different one at this time, and she said: That's all?

He said: Li Yaling, I will not forget the events of more than ten years ago, I have always remembered, if you have something to do with me, I will do it for you, you don't have to thank me this time, if you want to thank me, you can thank my father-in-law.

She whispered, "Understood."

Li Yaling didn't understand herself and Zhang Weiping until this time. At that moment, she seemed to have figured out everything and thought it through. She knew that she couldn't live for pure feelings in her later life, and it was impossible for her to live by feelings. She wants to be the master of herself, the master of life, she can only rely on herself. She finally came to her senses.

Soon, she met with Zhang Weiping again, and she said straight to the point: Zhang Weiping, you said, you can help me.

Zhang Weiping looked at her and said: No problem.

She said: I quit my job, I don't want to work in the hospital anymore, I want to open a Chinese medicine clinic by myself, and I want to borrow some money from you.

He let out a sigh of relief and said, "No problem."

She said, "Just a hundred thousand."

He said, "Tomorrow, I'll have someone send it over."

She said, "When the time comes, I will pay you back with interest."

He smiled and said, "Okay, no problem." He left her with ease, this is Li Yaling he wanted to see, he used to like her so obsessively, until this time, he hadn't figured it out, what did he like about her at that time? Maybe it's a tuition fee that youth needs to pay.

Soon, in one corner of the city, a TCM clinic opened. Amid the sound of firecrackers at the opening ceremony, Zhang Weiping stood far behind the door of a store, watching everything in front of him, and then he got into his car, closed the window, and quietly drove away.
