step by step addiction

In the small courtyard paved with bluestone bricks, there are various evergreen plants growing in a patchwork pattern. The bright colors of oleander and camellia are embellished in the green leaves, which looks wild and full of vitality.

An old tree in the courtyard extended its winding branches, and the shadow of the tree hit the small coffee table under the tree. The light and shadow were mottled, and the fluffy snow-white puppet jumped up, squatting on a thick "Criminal Law", Two light blue eyes like glass balls stared at the person on the bamboo chair.

Ji Yunsu shook the bamboo chair, casually twisted a piece of pastry, sweet but not greasy, and drank a glass of pure milk, breakfast was settled like this.

"Mom, I'm going to the law firm." With a little effort, she stood up while supporting the armrests of the bamboo chair.

Tao Guihong came out with a small blackboard in hand, "Isn't today a bad day, why do you have to go to the law firm?"

Tianyi Town is like other towns, the market is divided into odd and even days. On odd days, there are almost no people on the street, and it is very deserted. They are called back days.Even-numbered days are very lively, also known as every market day.

The law firm Ji Yunsu mentioned is located next to the police station, and every market day, the police station will send some civil cases that need to be reconciled to the law firm.

There was originally a lawyer in the law firm, but after she joined, the trainee lawyer finally got a chance to run away, and the owner of the law firm does not live in Tianyi Town, so the small law firm seemed to be Ji Yunsu's exclusive .

"Someone called last night and wanted to consult. I'll go and have a look. I'll come back when there is no one."

"Put on the scarf, it's cold." Tao Guihong instructed, hanging the small blackboard outside the door, and opened the door of the shop from the outside.

The owner of the rice noodle shop next door glanced at the small blackboard and said with a smile, "Your menu is different every day. No wonder the business is so good. It's fresh every day. Unlike my rice noodle shop, which doesn't have much business recently."

Tao Guihong nodded and said hello, "My business is not good. I just saved my capital. Seeing that there are so many people, it takes an hour or two to eat at a table. It's not like your rice noodles. You change people in ten minutes. You must earn more than me. .”

The owner of the rice noodle shop heheed twice, and waited for Tao Guihong to enter the shop before he secretly wrote down the menu and prices.

Back at her rice noodle shop, the female boss complained to her husband with gritted teeth, "They robbed all the business and said that the business is not good. Since they came, few people came to eat noodles in the shop. Her daughter was raped by a wild man." It’s not shameful to come to a place where we don’t shit to grab business after getting pregnant.”

The man didn't want to hear these words, so he said irritably: "Okay, stop talking, the voice is so loud, let the side hear you later."

"What's the matter if you hear it?" The woman purposely shouted at the next wall: "I'm telling the truth. The business was not good in the first place. I don't think there is any need to open it today. In the past, I could sell a few bowls in the past. Now a bowl of..."

"Boss, here are two taels of beef rice noodles."

The woman's words stopped immediately, and she greeted her with a smile, "Okay, wait a minute, come right away."

......

The streets in winter are dry and cold, and the cold wind howls and cuts people.Ji Yunsu pulled up the scarf to cover his mouth and nose, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly towards the law firm.

Just walking, she suddenly stopped, and looked up at the sky in surprise.

It actually snowed.

At first, it was just an inconspicuous white dot, which fell on the clothes and hair, and instantly turned into water droplets; gradually, the dots turned into flakes, like ice crystals, which appeared transparent in the palm of the hand; finally, the flakes formed into balls, Small clusters are a few snowflakes huddled together, a mung bean-sized lump, white as milk, and it will not melt when it falls on the body.

Ji Yunsu was wearing a down jacket, and the fluttering snowflakes fell on his body, making a thick puffing sound, and rolled down again, but his hair and scarf were soon dyed white.

"Lawyer Ji, it's snowing, why are you still standing?"

Looking back, Ji Yunsu saw that it was a young policeman from the police station. His bronzed skin looked healthy and full of vitality, and his strong body stretched his uniform wide, giving people a sense of fortitude and reliability.

"Morning, Police Officer." Ji Yunsu greeted with a polite smile.

"Are you going to the law firm today?" Wei Cun wondered.

In Tianyi Town, even the police station is empty.Of course, the police officers still have to be on call at all times.

"Someone called last night..."

The two chatted and came to the gate of the law firm, next to the gate of the police station.

There were already two middle-aged people standing at the door, a man and a woman, each with an ugly expression, especially the man, who was full of resentment.

After seeing Ji Yunsu, the middle-aged woman stepped forward with a flattering smile, "Lawyer Ji, I'm Zhang Xiuqiong who called you last night to bother you so early."

Ji Yunsu unlocked the door, and the heavy glass door was very difficult to push open due to its elasticity.

Wei Cun stepped forward in two steps, "I'll do it." With veins showing on the back of his hand, he easily pushed it away.

Ji Yunsu thanked them and introduced the two to the law firm.

The law firm is small, about ten square meters, with an office desk in front of it, equipped with a black desktop computer, a water dispenser and a bookcase with sparse law-related books on the left, and a three-seater sofa on the right.

Ji Yunsu asked the two to sit down and looked at Wei Cun, "Isn't Officer Wei busy?"

Wei Cun said honestly: "Not busy, you have to go to the police to have something to do."

Ji Yunsu froze.She forgot that the police officer had a single mind and couldn't understand what she was saying.

But she was still a policeman anyway, so she didn't care about privacy, so she asked the two parties.

"Which of you is the defendant and who is the plaintiff?"

Zhang Xiuqiong almost blurted out, reacted for a second, then pointed to the middle-aged man standing over the bookcase and said, "He. His son committed suicide by drinking pesticide, but asked my daughter to pay for the medical expenses, and what mental damage expenses? Ten thousand. A wolf-hearted thing, think that money is made by pigs."

"I'll smash your mouth." The man was already on the verge of anger, and his words seemed like he was about to rush at the cannon barrel when it caught fire.

Wei Cun immediately stopped him, his strong and powerful body suppressed the man, "Don't move, the police station is next to you, if you hit someone, I can only send you to the police station."

Seeing that the man stopped in the end, Ji Yunsu was secretly relieved, and thankful that he met Lu Cun this morning.

Zhang Xiuqiong was not afraid at all, she hid behind Lu Cun like a shrew and provoked, "Your own son is worthless, what does it have to do with my daughter, it depends on us, it will be taken by God."

Ji Yunsu held his forehead with a headache.In this situation, whenever one party speaks, the other party will definitely interrupt, and the two will intensify their quarrel, and they can't ask for a result for a long time.

She simply said: "Aunt Zhang, I basically understand your side, why don't you go out for a stroll first, I will talk to this uncle first, and then I will talk to you after the chat, I want to hear what you have to say .”

Zhang Xiuqiong immediately promised, "I won't interrupt, you can ask, just ask."

Ji Yunsu couldn't push people away anymore, so he could only ask middle-aged men.

The middle-aged man's name is Luo Cheng, but before he could say anything, his eyes turned red and his voice choked up.

Zhang Xiuqiong muttered in a low voice, "If you pretend to be sympathetic, I will cry too, my daughter..."

"Aunt Zhang." Ji Yunsu frowned slightly, "Please keep quiet."

Zhang Xiuqiong closed her mouth again, and then Luo Cheng slowly explained the whole story.

It turned out that the two children were once lovers, but recently Zhang Xiuqiong's daughter proposed to break up, and Luo Cheng's son tried to persuade Luo Cheng to stay. Zhang Xiuqiong's daughter said: "Then you will die, you will die quickly by drinking pesticides."

The result of the incident is obvious. Luo Cheng's son was really stimulated and drank the pesticide. He is now hospitalized in the county hospital. Although his life is out of danger, he has spent a lot of medical expenses.

Luo Cheng believed that Zhang Xiuqiong's daughter forced his son to commit suicide in a daze, and asked him to pay 5 yuan for medical expenses and mental damage.
