My name is Zhang Chenze, and I lied.

I am Chinese New Year's Eve and have been working hard in Chengdu for ten years.

If I am willing to share my experience and publish it on any public platform, I may become a smash hit independent female representative, after all, a girl from a small mountain village has become one of the most famous lawyers in Chengdu by her own efforts, no matter how you think about it, she is worth learning from.

But I didn't want to do that.

I wanted to leave everything I had before and start over in a place where no one knew me. If I could, I would never want to have anything to do with that little mountain village.

I have my ambitions and my ideals.

I want to be a good person.

I'm willing to do anything for this goal.

When the law firm was first established, I couldn't afford to rent a house, so I slept on the sofa in the firm for three years.

I get up at 5 a.m. every day to clean up the office, and then wash up and put on makeup in the public toilet. At night, I excused myself to work overtime and leave late, and went to the public bath for five yuan a time to take a bath.

None of my subordinates knew I lived here for three years.

I have survived all this hardship, just because I have a dream in my heart.

If I can't be a good person, I will be trapped in that mountain village forever, not only me, but also my descendants.

But I often think that I probably won't have any offspring at all.

It would be great if I could live my life in a brilliant and brilliant way.

My childhood was so miserable, and to be fair, my future should be happier, and I don't dare to expect a good life for myself, as long as I can get by and feel comfortable.

"Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang!!" Xiao Sun in the office patted me and startled me.

This young boy has been here for three years and has settled a lot of difficult lawsuits for me, and among the many young people, I am most optimistic about him.

"What's wrong?"

"Why are you distracted?" Xiao Sun smiled, "Look! Here comes the bride! ”

I looked at the place where he pointed and saw that today's bride Mengmeng was wearing a pure white wedding dress studded with sequins, holding her father's arm step by step towards the stage under the spotlight.

In addition to my grandson, Mengmeng is my most powerful assistant, and she has worked hard with me for six years.

Now that I can see her walking towards the marriage hall, I am really happy for her.

The handsome and gentle groom took the bouquet and strode towards Meng Meng and her father, and the audience next to him clapped their hands and shouted at the same time, sending them their most sincere blessings.

But to be honest, I didn't like the rest of the session.

At the request of the host, Mengmeng's father wanted to hand over Mengmeng's hand to the groom.

Then in front of Meng Meng, the groom and hundreds of guests, he solemnly said to the groom: "Meng Meng will entrust it to you in the future." ”

At this time, many guests gently wiped the corners of their eyes, as if they were in tears.

The host also said in a sensational voice: "From now on, this man will take the place of your father and take care of you forever, no matter whether he is poor or rich, he will never abandon you......"

Meng Meng stood on the stage, looked at the excited father and groom, and then looked at the crying guests nearby, and shrugged her shoulders at me with a wry smile.

I know Meng Meng, and I know what she means.

If it weren't for custom, because of tradition, because all the relatives in the family did it, she would never have allowed it to appear at her own wedding.

In just a few sentences, almost all the efforts of Meng Meng in this life are negated. It seems that without the care of her father and groom, she has become a child waiting to be fed.

It was as if she would starve to death at home at any moment.

Why is the reason for getting married to find someone to rely on? Why can't it be because of love?

Follow me all these years, Mengmeng has a salary of at least 60,000 yuan a month, even if no one takes care of her, she can still live well.

After all, Mengmeng's effort is no less than mine, she is a very good lawyer, and everything now is what she deserves, which is fair.

Meng Meng didn't ask for a penny of bride price, nor did she cause any trouble to the parents of both sides.

She and the groom just used their own savings to buy a small house of dozens of square meters, and then bought furniture together, and with the joint efforts of the two people, they officially opened the second stage of their lives.

In the days to come, they will continue to fight together until they buy better furniture and live in a bigger house.

This is what I think love looks like at its best, it's like a stable balance that will never fall.

When will people discover that the purpose of marriage is to give love a result, not to find a support for one party?

"Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang!!"

Xiao Sun's bright voice rang in my ears again.

I looked at her and smiled, "What's wrong?" ”

"Your phone is ringing!" Xiao Sun said to me, "It's been ringing for a long time!" ”

I looked down at the number, and after a moment the joy on my face vanished, and my whole body was as cold as falling into an ice cellar.

"I'll miss you."

I picked up the phone, walked out of the banquet hall, looked around for a while, found a safe passage, and saw that no one walked in, and picked up the phone heavily.

"Hey."

"Zhang Laidi!!" Her shrill voice came from my phone, making me frown.

"Mom, my name is Zhang Chenze now."

"You still know your dog's name?!" She yelled on the phone, "Why don't you answer my phone?!" Why didn't you answer my phone yesterday?! ”

"I'm busy." I say.

"Busy? Busy you immortals! Say you're stupid, you're not stupid, you know how to earn. She scolded bitterly, "Everyone envies the children of the Lao Zhang family, but they don't know that you are a dead baby, and you can't even give 200,000 yuan." ”

Oh, both sons and daughters.

In my village, people who have given birth to sons are looking forward to raising children to prevent old age, and only those who have given birth to daughters are looking forward to having both children and daughters.

How ironic?

"Mom, I don't understand." I said coldly, "I can wrap a big red envelope for him when I get married, but why do you want me to pay 200,000?" ”

"You've got money!" She shouted, "You can earn more than Chengcai, you are the baby and his sister, and his brother is married, you pay for him to buy a house, what's wrong?" ”

"I don't understand why you can take this for granted." I sneered, "The money I earn is mine, what does it have to do with him?" You have given him the best food, clothing, shelter and transportation since he was a child, and you have also given him more education than me, and he should be able to earn his own money. ”

"I haven't found a suitable job yet! Hamapi ......" her tone sharpened, "What are you anxious about?" Is it still a matter of settling accounts with my own brother? ”

"Mom, I'll tell you the truth, I'm expanding my office, I've invested all my savings, and now I can't get a cent."
