Chapter 378 My name is Zhang Chenze
My name is Zhang Chenze, and I lied.
I am thirty-three years old and have worked 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 popular independent female representative. After all, a girl from a small mountain village has become the most famous lawyer in Chengdu through her own efforts. One, no matter how you think about it, it is worth learning.
But I don't want to do this.
I wanted to abandon everything I had in the past and start over in this place where no one knew me. If possible, I would never want to have anything to do with that small mountain village.
I have my ambitions and my ideals.
I want to be an excellent person.
For this goal, I am willing to do anything.
When the law firm was first established, I had no money to rent, so I slept on the sofa in the firm for three years.
I get up at five o'clock every day to clean up my office, then wash up and put on makeup in the public toilet. In the evening, I used to work overtime and leave late, so I went to take a bath in a public bath that cost 5 yuan a time.
For three years, none of my subordinates knew that I lived here.
I have endured this kind of 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 might not have any descendants at all.
If I could live my life brilliantly and brilliantly, that would be the best thing.
My childhood was so miserable. From a fair point of view, my future should be happier. I don't dare to expect that I will live a good life, as long as I can muddle along and make myself feel comfortable.
"Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang!!" Xiao Sun from the office patted me, which shocked me.
This young boy came three
\u003c/di\u003e
In 2006, he settled many difficult lawsuits for me. Among many young people, he is the one I look up to the most.
"What's wrong?"
"Why are you distracted?" Xiao Sun said with a smile, "Look! The bride is here!"
I followed his finger and looked over. Today's bride, Mengmeng, was wearing a pure white wedding dress studded with sequins. Under the spotlight, she was holding her father's arm as she walked towards the stage step by step.
Apart from my grandson, Mengmeng is my best assistant. She has worked hard with me for six years.
Now that I can see her walking down the aisle, I'm really happy for her.
The handsome and gentle groom strode towards Mengmeng and her father holding a bouquet. The audience nearby clapped and shouted at the same time, giving them their most sincere blessings.
But to be honest, I didn’t like the next part.
At the host's request, Mengmeng's father had to personally hand over Mengmeng's hand to the groom.
Then in front of Mengmeng, the groom and hundreds of guests, he solemnly said to the groom: "Mengmeng will be entrusted to you from now on."
At this time, many guests gently wiped the corners of their eyes and seemed to shed tears.
The host also said in a sensational voice: "From now on, this man will replace your father and take care of you forever. No matter he is poor or rich, he will never leave you..."
Mengmeng stood on the stage, looking at the excited father and groom, and then at the nearby guests who were crying, and shrugged at me with a wry smile.
I understand Mengmeng, and I also know what she means.
If it weren't for customs, traditions, and all the relatives in the family, she would never allow this.
This kind of event appeared at her wedding.
A few short sentences almost negated all Mengmeng's efforts in this life. It seemed that without the care of her father and groom, she became a child waiting to be fed.
It seemed like she would starve to death at home at any moment.
Why must the reason for getting married be to find someone to rely on? Why can't it be because of love?
After working with me for these years, Mengmeng has a monthly salary of at least 60,000 yuan. Even if no one takes care of her, she can still live a good life.
After all, Mengmeng has put in no less effort than me. She is a very good lawyer. She deserves everything now, which is fair.
Mengmeng did not ask for a penny in gifts, nor did she cause any trouble to the parents of either party.
She and her groom just bought a small house of several dozen square meters with their own savings, and then spent money to buy furniture together. With the joint efforts of the two of them, they officially started the second stage of their lives.
In the days to come, they will still struggle together until they buy better furniture and live in a bigger house.
This is what I think love looks like at its best, it is like a stable balance that will never tip over.
When will people discover that the purpose of marriage is to give love a result, rather than to find support for one party?
"Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang!!"
Xiao Sun's clear voice rang in my ears again.
I looked at her, recovered and smiled: "What's wrong?"
"Your phone is ringing!" Xiao Sun told me, "It's been ringing for a long time!"
I looked down at the number. After a moment, the joy on my face disappeared, and my whole body felt as cold as falling into an ice cellar.
"Excuse me."
\u003c/di\u003e
I picked up the phone, walked out of the banquet hall, looked around for a while, and found the safe passage. When I saw no one around, I walked in and answered the phone with a heavy weight.
"Hello."
"Zhang Laidi!!" Her harsh voice came from the phone, making me frown.
"Mom, my name is Zhang Chenze now."
"You still know your dog's last name, Zhang?!" she yelled on the phone, "Why didn't you answer my call?! Why didn't you answer my call yesterday?!"
"Busy." I said.
"Busy? Busy, you immortal! Even if you say you are stupid, you are not stupid at all. You know how to make money even if you are a loser." She scolded, "Everyone envies the old Zhang family for having both sons and daughters, but they don't know that you are a dead child. , not even 200,000."
Oh, both sons and daughters.
In the village where I live, everyone who gives birth to a son looks forward to raising a son to provide for them in old age, while only those who give birth to a daughter look forward to having both children.
How ironic?
"Mom, I don't understand." I said coldly, "I can give him a big red envelope when Chengcai gets married, but why do you want me to pay 200,000?"
"You are rich!" she yelled, "You can earn more than a grown man. You are a kid's sister, and your brother is getting married, so you gave him money to buy a house. What's going on?"
"I don't understand why you can take this matter 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, housing and transportation since he was a child. He has more education than me and he should be able to make his own money.”
"Chengcai hasn't found a suitable job yet! Haha..." Her tone became even sharper, "What are you so anxious about? Are you still settling accounts with your brother?"
"Mom, I'm telling the truth. I'm expanding my office and I've invested all my savings, but now I can't get any money back."
