The moment she returned to the room, Wang Chu suddenly felt an unprecedented emptiness, although she used to live alone in this room of less than fifty square meters, but this emptiness, she knew that it was caused by Li Haoran leaving.

Wang Chuwan was on the sofa, looking at his mobile phone Douyin, and after a long time, suddenly, the phone rang, and it was Yang Zhizhi calling.

"Hey." Wang Chu replied weakly.

"You sent your son back?"

"I just got home."

"What's wrong with you? There is weakness. ”

"My heart is empty."

"My son suddenly left to go to school in other places, of course you feel empty, okay, don't think about it, he will be almost sixteen years old soon, and he will already take care of himself, so don't worry."

"I'm not worried about him, I'm worried that I won't be able to adapt myself."

"Pull a carload of people to me tomorrow, and I'll take you in for a few days to relax."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Chu drooped her eyes, her expression became extremely sluggish, and her whole spirit seemed to be scattered, languishing, and even a single business could not arouse her interest.

Sister Feng called again, and Wang Chu's tone was a little more energetic than before, "Sister Feng, are you calling?" ”

"The exam time has been set, hurry up and review."

Wang Chu sat up straight, "So fast? ”

"On the eighteenth of next month, there is still more than a month to go, come on."

"Come on."

Not long after putting down the phone, Wang Chu received a message that the water conservancy unit compiled the exam questions, and she looked through all the questions, "So much, a month." She got up from the couch, took out the exam questions from under the coffee table, and began to bury her head in the questions.

I contacted a carload of people before going to bed, and I went to the office in the morning, and obviously a lot of people came one after another, and their conversation naturally revolved around this exam.

"Sixty-five people in this technical post took the exam, thirty-five people were recruited in a targeted manner, seventy-six people in the management post took the exam, only ten people were recruited, and the rest were all in the enterprise, which is too unfair, right?" As soon as Wang Chu entered the office door, Zhang Ke stood in the crowd and said.

"Who's to say it's not, it's too unfair to the management post." Han Qi said that his body was obviously not as good as before, his face was sallow, and it was difficult to stand, so he had to sit on a chair and say.

"Zhang Ke is a technical post, you can pass the exam with your eyes closed, Han Qi, you are also a technical post, I see that your body is bones, and it is difficult to even walk." Sister Feng teased.

"I rely on my brain for exams, not walking, you see what you said." Han Qi rolled his eyes, and the audience laughed.

"Hey, Wang Chu." When Sister Feng saw her, she shouted, "You're here?" ”

"yes." Wang Chu said, "How can I be absent from such a lively occasion? Why did you just say that there are only ten recruits for management positions? ”

"Who's to say it's not, it's so unfair to our management post." Sister Feng clapped her hands and said, "You said that an old guy like me has such a good brain, but Wang Chu, you are so young and so smart, you will definitely be able to pass the test." ”

"It's only ten people recruited, and the competitiveness is still a bit big." Wang Chu has no bottom at all.

After staying in the office for less than half an hour, Wang Chu drove to pick up four customers, and along the way, he didn't forget to read the questions and memorize them. When she returned, she didn't even have a guest, and she wanted to borrow it for one night at Yang Zhizhi's, but when she just finished calling her best friend, Wang Baochang called.

"Two boxes of seafood in the seafood market need to be brought back, you go and pull it." Wang Baochang said on the phone.

"But there's no one in my car right now."

"But you have to rush back tonight, I took over a job of more than 20 people, I need four cars, I will go to the airport at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, you pull two boxes of seafood, enough for postage."

"I have to pay the toll myself, so you can help me find two more people and see if I can find it."

"I guess there's no one this time, I'll help you find it."

Hanging up the phone, Wang Chu went straight to the seafood market, and the person who brought the goods was a woman of about forty, greeted each other with her, and put two boxes of seafood in the trunk, "Sister, where is this seafood?" ”

"I'll go back too, you can just send me to the vegetable market."

"If you want to go back, I guess you'll have to add some money."

"Oh, sister, I agreed with Baochang Wang about the price, you can't regret it."

"Wang Baochang said that there are only two boxes of seafood, and he didn't say that people have to go back, and the money for two boxes of seafood is not even enough for me to pay for postage, eldest sister."

"Then I'll call Baochang Wang and ask him to find me a car again, and he said the price he said."

"Okay, okay, eldest sister, don't fight, since you said I'll pull you, I'll send you to the place."

The woman nodded, "That's pretty much it." Wang Chu smiled bitterly, got into the car, and drove away.

As she entered the Shuk checkpoint, the woman asked, "Is the checkpoint strict?" ”

"Of course, it is strict, people who come back from the mainland must go to the isolation point to register, do nucleic acid testing, and isolate if it is a key epidemic area."

"That's good, I'm from Anhui, not an epidemic area."

"Sister, why didn't you say it earlier, as long as you come back from the mainland, if you are not from the epidemic area, you have to go to the triage point to register, do nucleic acid, and report to the community, I have to wait for you for more than three hours in the meantime."

"You didn't ask me, did you?"

"Okay, it's my fault that I didn't ask you, so sister, you add another hundred yuan, what do you think?"

"Why do you want me to add money when you say something good?"

"Eldest sister, from the registration of the triage point, doing nucleic acid, to community reporting, I have to wait for you for more than three hours, is it too much for you to add another 100 yuan?"

"Of course it's too much, you change your mind when you say good things."

"Then you mean you don't add a penny, do you?"

"No."

Wang Chu slowed down the car, switched the front of the car to the road to Aksu at the fork in the road, sped up the car, and the woman asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'm going to wait for you for more than three hours, it's almost twelve o'clock in the morning after sending you off, and you can't even add a hundred yuan, okay, I don't want a penny, okay? I'll zoom you on the road, and you can take whoever you like. ”

"Alas, it's not right for you to do things like this, be careful that I complain about you."

"You go to complain, I don't care, anyway, I'm not a public car, you can complain casually." Wang Chu accelerated the throttle, drove to a position where he could turn around in front, stopped the car, and moved the seafood in the trunk, the woman came down to stop it, she immediately got into the car and left, before leaving, the woman shouted, "I called Wang Baochang, I want to complain to you." ”

The woman's voice had been blown away by the wind, and within a while, Wang Baochang called.

"Why didn't you tell me that this man had come back from the mainland?" Wang Chu asked.

"He didn't tell me he came back from the mainland."

"Baochang Wang, you also know that the people who come back from the mainland, I have to go to the diversion point to register, do nucleic acid, and get the community to report, I have to wait for her for more than three hours, let her add a hundred yuan, he doesn't add, you say that she is a business boss, how can she be so careful?"

"It's right not to throw it at her, if you want me, I'll just throw her on the highway, and it's difficult for her to come back."

Wang Chu laughed, "Chief Bao, do you also think I did nothing wrong?" ”

"That's right, that's how you have to deal with this kind of person."

Wang Chu laughed again, "Okay, Chief Wang, I also said that I want to explain it to you, you don't blame me, I won't tell you, I'm at the checkpoint." She hung up laughing, slowed down and arrived at the checkpoint. There are more than a dozen cars parked on the side of the road at the checkpoint, and there are special police officers leading teams next to them, and those cars are people who have returned from the mainland. She said to herself, "Xinjiang is so tightly controlled that it can't even fly into it." She cooperated with the staff to check the itinerary code and nucleic acid, and then drove away safely.

Wang Chu first told his mother about that funny experience, and his mother said, "It's not right for you to throw people on the road, we can't be like that." ”

"What's wrong with me? I'm going to wait for him for three hours, and he can't even give up a hundred dollars, and besides, I'll pull her alone when I come back, and if the postage is not enough, I'll throw her close, so I have to throw her on the highway, so that she can't go back. ”

Mother pouted her disapproval and gave a thumbs up, "You can, you can." ”

Later, Wang Chu told Yang Zhizhi about this experience, but she said, "You are so powerful, this character is not the soft and weak you used to be." ”

"Yes, I think I've changed too, strong, brave, daring to do things, I have to take responsibility for everything, solve it by myself, and face it by myself."

"That's right, no matter what happens in the future, don't forget not to let yourself suffer, what others do to you, you have to return it in any way, this is called a tooth for a tooth."

Wang Chu took a breath, "If I had known how to protect myself twenty years ago, even if I had used the weapon of the law to protect myself, I would not have been bullied like that by Li Xiangyang." ”

"So." Yang Zhizhi took Wang Chu's hand with pity, "No matter what happens in the future, you must learn to fight back, and you can't blindly choose to endure it, which will only make the other party worse." ”

Wang Chu felt that Yang Zhizhi was right, so he nodded.

The night before the exam, Wang Chu had just entered the house after sending customers to the house, and an unfamiliar phone call came in, "Hello, are you Wang Chu?" ”

"Hello, I am."

"I'm from the court, that's it, I have read the complaint you sued your ex-husband in detail, this is a family dispute, after all, it contains family affection and love, I have also communicated with your ex-husband, he said that it is not easy for you to take the child, and he is willing to pay 50,000 yuan, but the premise is that you have to write a letter of guarantee and will not disturb his life in the future."

"But my appeal is to pay 100,000 yuan."

"He told me clearly that he would only pay 50,000 yuan."

Wang Chu let out a cold breath, "Okay, I agreed, but I won't write the guarantee, he is the child's father, and he has to participate in the child's education." ”

"Your ex-husband specifically emphasized that since the child was given to you, you have to be responsible, and there is only so much he can do."

"See you in court."

"Uh......" The other party hesitated for a long time, "Then I'll make an appointment for you." ”

"Thank you, Judge."

The day of the trial was notified the day before the exam, that day, Wang Pingping specially accompanied Wang Chu to the court, Wang Shu also appeared at the court table, she didn't know what the purpose of his appearance was, Li Xiangyang also invited a professional lawyer, and the judge introduced them one by one, Wang Chu lowered his head and sneered, the husband and wife have been treated in this way for nearly 20 years, but they are really ruthless.

Li Xiangyang made enough evidence of the 200,000 yuan of property before marriage, and his hometown spent 50,000 yuan to buy a cemetery for two old people, as well as a receipt for his brother-in-law to receive the money, as well as a signature and fingerprint, but there was no proof of payment to the cemetery, and he also said that this matter had been discussed with Wang Chu. Wang Chu also replied to the lawyer's request for payment to the cemetery, but Li Xiangyang's lawyer told her that there was only a receipt from Li Xiangyang's brother-in-law, and there was no payment receipt. Among them, there is also a consumption of 50,000 yuan that was taken out not long after the divorce, saying that it is daily expenses, and it is surprising that Wang Shu provided a piece of evidence, which made Wang Chu feel shocked, and the note reads: "I received a loan of 100,000 yuan from Li Xiangyang today, the date is March 16, 2019, and the payee: Wang Shu." ”

Only then did Wang Chu understand Wang Shu's intention, and he had lived with Li Xiangyang and his wife for twenty years, and he had never heard of borrowing money from Wang Shu, nor had he heard of him buying a cemetery for two old people in his hometown, but it was really ridiculous, and he could do anything to lie.

"This money was borrowed from me by Deputy Political Commissar Li in 2012, saying that it was for buying a façade house." Wang Shu explained, "In March 2019, Deputy Political Commissar Li returned the money to me. ”

"I know very well that we have never borrowed money from you, and you are really unscrupulous in order to falsify false testimony."

"We didn't falsify the receipt, it's genuine." Wang Shu explained.

"What about the payment vouchers?" Wang Chu replied.

"When I borrowed money from Deputy Political Commissar Li, it was in cash, and when Deputy Political Commissar Li repaid the money, it was also in cash, and there was no payment receipt."

Wang Chu nodded, "The fact that there is no payment voucher is enough to show that you are lying, and you have even thought about how to answer, which is really amazing." ”

"Wang Chu, for the matter of you suing my client for a premarital property dispute." The defense lawyer invited by Li Xiangyang asked, "My client's evidence is conclusive, do you have anything to add?" ”

"We have been married for nearly 20 years, I have never heard of borrowing money from Wang Shu, nor have I heard that he bought a cemetery for two old people in his hometown, he has never discussed this matter with me at all, Wang Shu is a friend of Li Xiangyang, and his brother-in-law is his relative, and they are suspected of perjury."

"Since you said that my client was guilty of perjury, I would like to ask you to provide relevant evidence." Said the entrusted lawyer.

Wang Chu shook his head, "I don't have relevant evidence." ”

"Attorney on hand." The judge cupped his eyes and said, "You are a professional lawyer, you don't want to bite the word with someone who doesn't know the law." ”

The judge's rebuttal had an effect, and the entrusted lawyer embarrassedly put down the evidence in his hand, "Although I took this case, I don't think my client did the right thing, after all, the husband and wife have been married for more than 20 years, and the most important thing is that there are children between them, the judge asks you to pronounce the verdict." ”

The judge nodded, "I think as a judge." She said, "Your client Li Xiangyang bought a cemetery for two elderly people in his hometown, just like Ms. Wang said, there is no bill to pay for the cemetery, and your client's brother-in-law is his relative, and we will not accept this evidence." As for the 50,000 yuan spent by your client Li Xiangyang, after evidence was collected by the court, it was spent by Li Xiangyang and Wang Chu after their divorce, but. The judge looked at Wang Chu, "Although Wang Shu is a friend of your ex-husband Li Xiangyang, he personally came to the court to testify, this evidence is conclusive, and our court has accepted it, so the court can only pronounce a judgment of 50,000 yuan, Ms. Wang, do you see if you still appeal?" ”

Wang Chu shook his head, "I won't appeal." In fact, Li Xiangyang's last bit of humanity in her heart has completely collapsed.

"Okay, all stand up." The judge shouted.

After the verdict was announced, when she walked out of the court, Wang Chu was already trembling, Wang Pingping held her hands and persuaded, "Don't be angry, I persuaded you to remarry when you divorced, now think about it, I was really wrong, what is the use of a leader like him?" I don't even have a little humanity, but I've been married for more than 20 years, and I still have children in the middle......"

"I really didn't expect him to commit perjury, he can really do anything."

"Okay, don't think about it, I have to come back 50,000 yuan, at least I can solve your urgent needs, let's go eat barbecue, Brother Qiang, Xiaoju and He Ying are waiting for us, we wish you to pass the exam in advance."

"Okay, I can't drink tonight, and I have an exam tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I won't let you drink tonight."

That night, Wang Chu did not drink as she said, but drunk herself like mud, Wang Pingping and Xiaoju couldn't stop them, for the first time in history, she drunk herself, and finally vomited so much that she probably didn't even know her mother.

The next day, outside the window, a ray of sunlight overflowing from the golden edge of the dark clouds spilled into the window and shone on Wang Chu's face, it was about ten o'clock, and she hadn't fully woken up, she felt uncomfortable in her stomach, and she was dizzy. It was the piercing phone ring that completely woke her up, and she finally touched the phone under the pillow and pressed the answer button, "Wang Chu, why haven't you come yet?" They are all lined up for the exam. On the other side of the phone was Sister Feng's shrill voice.

Wang Chu suddenly felt that the strength of the wine was completely lost in an instant, and he sat up from the bed at the speed of an electric shock, dressing, washing, using cosmetics, putting on shoes, and going downstairs with a fast movement that he had never done before.

It was still raining outside, and Wang Chu looked up to see that the sunlight overflowing from the edge of the dark clouds had penetrated into the black clouds, and the raindrops fell on her body, face, and head. The car was full of mud spots, and as long as it rained in southern Xinjiang, the entire body would be covered with mud spots. She quickly got into the car, started the car, turned on the windshield wipers, and ran all the way to the test site.

The courtyard was empty, and the guard at the door stopped Wang Chu, took out the exam card to let her in, and the examiner at the entrance of the examination room stopped her again.

"Hello, no one is allowed in here." The examiner said.

"I'm here to take the test." Wang Chu explained, and took out the admission ticket to show him.

"You're five minutes late, and you'll be disqualified from the exam a few minutes later."

"I'm sorry examiner, it's my fault that I'm late."

"Alright, let's get inside."

"Thank you, examiner, thank you."

Wang Chu opened the door at this time, most of the people in the examination room didn't know her, she saw Sister Feng glaring at her, and then pointed to an empty seat, she walked over, her name was pasted on the desk, and Han Qi's name was behind it, but there was no one.

"What about others?" Wang Chu pointed to Han Qi's vacant seat and asked Sister Feng.

"He fainted and was taken to the hospital." Sister Feng explained in a whisper.

"Don't talk to each other, hurry up for the exam." The examiner stared at Wang Chu and said.

Wang Chu gently pulled out the chair and sat down, at this moment, she felt that her stomach was very uncomfortable, coupled with the feeling of hunger, a little dizzy, she picked up the exam paper, and probably previewed it, she was dumbfounded, looked at Sister Feng, Sister Feng shook her head at her, saying that the test paper was not as simple as she imagined.

Coming out of the examination room, Wang Chu took out the exam questions and looked at them while walking, "Why are there any off-topic questions?" She searched for the answers to the off-topic questions from Baidu and accurately calculated her score.

"How did you do in the exam?" Sister Feng walked over and patted Wang Chu on the shoulder and asked.

"That's all I can get." Wang Chu used gestures to draw a picture for Sister Feng.

"Huh?" Sister Feng was surprised, "Why were you late when you said the exam was so important, why did you go last night?" ”

"Oh, don't mention it, I've drunk too much, I'm still sleeping if you don't call."

"It's really good, you said you don't drink on weekdays, and I don't know what to say about you."

"Oops, it's already like this, we can only wait for the results to be announced." Wang Chu pouted and walked out of the gate, the rain was still falling, Sister Feng moved the umbrella in her hand to her head, "What's the matter with Han Qi, why did you send it to the hospital?" She asked.

"He's it." Sister Feng shook her head and said, "The whole person is ruined, a good family, let him break up, now he drinks every day, and his body is damaged, and I heard that the stationmaster of another regiment died last night, and he didn't even have time to take the exam." ”

"Ah, there's still that."

"It's not a problem, I see Han Qi, can he survive to retire with his current body."

Wang Chu acquiesced in Sister Feng's point of view, Han Qi is still six years away from retirement, and for a long time he rarely eats three meals a day, drinks alcohol, even walks staggeringly, and is still sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, he probably won't live to retire.
