Chapter 123: To This Fucking Life
"During that time, I was anxious, insecure, and afraid that the company would fire me. But sometimes the more you are afraid of something, the more you come, and in the end, the company still sends me a notice of termination, and of course the compensation is still very considerable.
When I was fine in my hometown, I would always ask myself if my previous life was the life I wanted, and if so, then I would do my best to get back to my old life, no matter how difficult it was, because it was the life I wanted. The owner of the barbecue restaurant said.
"What's the answer?" Fang Yi asked.
"The question you asked, I asked myself for more than a month, and unfortunately, the answer was contradictory. When I don't have any utilitarian mentality, I will deny my old life and yearn for a more peaceful and lazy lifestyle; But once I have a utilitarian heart, I hope to go back to my previous life, after all, the treatment is still very good.
Let me ask you a question, what do you think your life should be like? After the boss finished speaking, he picked up the draft beer and drank it.
"Life?! The question is too big, too profound. I really haven't thought about it, and at the moment I just want to get back to who I used to be, to find my home. Fang Yi thought for a while.
"Well, I haven't thought about the 'meaning of life' before, like you said it's too big. Originally, I thought that I would get a diploma, learn my skills, find a boss, work hard, work hard to earn money to support my family, and then I could travel around the world in style after retirement, but a serious illness made me understand a lot and think a lot.
One day I passed by the pig farm in the village and walked in curiously. I saw piglets in the farm, piglets that were just getting down, piglets that were being fattened, and big pigs that were in shape.
You see, these pigs will be taken care of by the pig farm from birth, and they will be vaccinated with all kinds of vaccinations, and then their job is to eat, sleep, and eat, with only one purpose of gaining weight, and when they grow up, the owner can sell them to the slaughterhouse or the second-class dealer to make money, and the pigs that are sold have only one result, that is, they are killed and sold for meat.
I wondered, this person can't be like a pig, always passively waiting for people to feed, eat and sleep, sleep and eat. In that case, what is the meaning of our lives? It's not easy to walk around the world! You should do something to make yourself happy.
It is better to seek others than to seek yourself, and it is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. ”
After saying that, the boss frowned, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and then a puff of smoke slowly rose into the sky.
"After I came out of the farm, I figured out that I had to make my own decisions about my life, and I had to live my life in my own way. Later, I used the compensation money from the company to buy this place and opened this barbecue restaurant.
When this barbecue restaurant opened, I was really happy and thought I had finally found my way of life. But when I ran the barbecue restaurant, I found that I seemed to be wrong, it is really not a good thing to have too many mothers-in-law, and my daughter-in-law for many years can't stay up as a mother-in-law at all, and being a boss is more tiring than going to work.
Lao Lu is right: people are born free, but they are always in chains.
So I was confused again, tired all day like a third grandson, what do I want! Fortunately, the barbecue restaurant can make some money, and it is not a problem to live, and it can take care of a group of brothers, so let's fool around!
In fact, it's good to pursue less and be happy.
If you think about it, my current life may be the best way of life for me, the most in line with my expectations, painful and happy! The boss smiled helplessly.
"Envy! I really envy you.
When you reach middle age, you can live your life on your own terms, which is enough to make most people envious. There are many smart people in this world, but even if they understand what you just said, they dare not or are unwilling to give up their immediate interests and live the life they want.
I remember someone saying that the so-called midlife crisis, what really makes people anxious is not loneliness, not poverty, and not aging, but that you only realize in middle age that you have never lived the way you like. I think that makes sense.
Think about it, in this fireworks world, everything is worth it, and everything is regrettable, and in the end it becomes a fucked life. Regret, but helpless. Fang Yi said.
"Okay! It's still your liberal arts who can be dragged away, we science and engineering students can't think of so many words, and all I have in my mind is a barbecue restaurant. After saying that, the boss burst out laughing.
"To this fucking life." Fang Yi raised his glass and smiled.
"yes, to this fucking life. May you live the life you want. The boss encouraged.
Early the next morning, the county court called Fang Yi, and the verdict of Qian Lianyuan's case came out, and finally the court ruled that Qian Lianyuan did not constitute the crime of dangerous driving and was not guilty.
When Qian Linlin received Fang Yi's call, she was so excited that she almost burst into tears, and hurried to the detention center. Old Man Qian is still majestic and high-spirited, and after leaving the detention center and seeing his daughter, he shouted to apply for compensation, and this matter can't be left like this. I guess someone inside told him something.
"Lawyer Fang, can my dad apply for compensation in this situation?" Qian Linlin looked at Fang Yi suspiciously.
"Why can't I, the court has acquitted me, and I've been locked up for so long?" Old Man Qian's temper came up, and the Great Wall couldn't stop it.
"Dad, don't shout, listen to what Lawyer Fang has to say." Qian Linlin said.
"According to the Compensation Law, in accordance with Article 17, the victim shall have the right to compensation if the organs exercising investigative, procuratorial and adjudicative powers, as well as the detention centers and prison management organs and their staffs, infringe on their personal rights in any of the following circumstances in the exercise of their powers...... (2) After arresting a citizen, a decision is made to withdraw the case, not to prosecute, or to make a judgment declaring an acquittal and terminating the pursuit of criminal responsibility.
In addition, Article 21 stipulates that if an organ exercising investigative, procuratorial, or adjudicatory powers, as well as a detention center, prison management organ, or its staff, infringes upon the lawful rights and interests of citizens, legal persons, and other organizations in the exercise of their powers, and causes damages, the organ shall be the organ with the obligation to compensate.
Where a citizen is detained and the State shall be compensated in accordance with the provisions of this Law, the organ that made the detention decision is the organ with the obligation to compensate.
Where, after taking arrest measures against a citizen, a decision is made to withdraw the case, not to prosecute, or a judgment to declare a person not guilty, the organ that made the arrest decision is the organ with the obligation to compensate.
Where the verdict is changed to not guilty at retrial, the people's court that made the original effective judgment is the organ with the obligation to compensate. Where the second-instance judgment is changed to not guilty, and where the second-instance trial remands for retrial and a not-guilty disposition is made, the people's court that made the first-instance judgment of guilt is the organ with the obligation to compensate.
According to the above two provisions, your father has been acquitted and can apply to the arrest department of the case for compensation. Fang Yi said.
"Lawyer Fang, how much can I pay for my case?" As soon as Mr. Qian heard that he could apply for compensation, he immediately came to his senses.
