Li Xuelian saw Wang Gongdao for the first time, and Wang Gongdao was only twenty-six years old.At that time, Wang Gongdao was thin, his face was white, and his flesh was also white. He was a little white boy.The little white boy has big eyes.People with big eyes tend to have thick eyebrows, but Wang Gongdao has light eyebrows, so light that there are not many eyebrows, which are equal to light; Li Xuelian wants to laugh when she sees him.But asking for help is not the time to laugh.What's more, it was not easy to see Wang Gongdao. The neighbors said that Wang Gongdao was at home. Li Xuelian knocked on the door of Wang Gongdao's house, her hands were sore, and there was no movement in the house.When Li Xuelian came, she carried half a cloth bag of sesame seeds and an old hen.Li Xuelian's hands were sore from clapping, and the old hen's wings were sore from being carried, screaming loudly, and finally it was the chicken that barked the door open.Wang Gongdao wore a judge's uniform on his upper body, and only a pair of underpants on his lower body.Apart from seeing him all in white, Li Xuelian also saw the word "囍" pasted on the wall inside the room, it was already half past ten in the evening, so she understood why Wang Gongdao didn't open the door.But looking for him at night, I tried to block him at home; I ran for more than 30 miles by myself, and I couldn't run in vain.Wang Gongdao yawned: "Who are you looking for?"

Li Xuelian: "The king is fair." The prince said: "Who are you?" Li Xuelian: "Ma Dalian in Majiazhuang is your cousin, right?" Wang Gongdao scratched his head and thought about it, then nodded. Li Xuelian: "Ma Dalian, his wife's natal family is from Cui's shop, you know that?" Wang Gongdao nodded. Li Xuelian: "Ma Dalian's wife's sister is married to Hujiawan, you know?" Wang Gongdao scratched his head and thought about it, then shook his head. Li Xuelian: "A cousin of my aunt's family married an uncle and nephew of Ma Dalian's wife's sister-in-law's family. We are relatives."

Wang Gongdao frowned: "What's the matter with you?" Li Xuelian: "I want a divorce." In order to house half a bag of sesame seeds, it was mainly to house the screaming old hen; it was not to house the sesame seeds and the old hen, but to get rid of Li Xuelian early. Li Xuelian sat in the living room of Wang Gongdao's newly-married house.A woman poked her head out from inside, then shrank back.Wang Gong said: "Why are you getting divorced? Do you not agree with each other?" Li Xuelian: "It's more serious than this." Wang Gong said: "Is there a third party?"

Li Xuelian: "It's more serious than this." Wang Gong said: "It won't go to the point of murder, right?" Li Xuelian: "If you don't care, I'll kill him when I get back." Wang Gongdao was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up and poured tea for Li Xuelian: "People still can't be killed. If you kill them, you won't be able to get married." The teapot was hanging in the air: "By the way, what's your name?" Li Xuelian: "My name is Li Xuelian." Wang Gong said: "Where is your husband?" Li Xuelian: "Qin Yuhe."

Wang Gong said: "What does he do?" Li Xuelian: "Driving a truck at the county fertilizer factory." Wang Gong said: "How many years have you been married?" Li Xuelian: "Eight years." Wang Gong said: "Do you have a marriage certificate?" Li Xuelian: "With the divorce certificate." Saying that, he unbuttoned his coat and took out a divorce certificate from his underwear pocket. Wang Gongdao was stunned there: "Aren't you already divorced, why are you leaving?" Li Xuelian: "This divorce is fake." Wang Gongdao took the divorce certificate.The divorce certificate has been rubbed and crumpled.Wang Gongdao checked from the inside to the outside: "It looks true, one of the names is you, and the other is also Qin Yuhe."

Li Xuelian: "The divorce certificate is not fake, but the divorce was fake at that time." Wang Gongdao flicked the divorce certificate with his fingers: "Regardless of whether it was fake or not, from a legal point of view, with this certificate, the divorce is real." Li Xuelian: "The difficulty is here." Wang Gongdao scratched his head and thought for a while: "What are you going to do?" Li Xuelian: "First go to court to prove that the divorce is fake, then marry back to Qin Yuhe's son-in-law, and then divorce again." Wang Gongdao couldn't understand, and scratched his head again: "Anyway, you are going to divorce the surname Qin, and this tossing around is another divorce. Aren't you tossing around?"

Li Xuelian: "Everyone says so, but I don't think so." Li Xuelian's initial thought was not to make a fuss; she was already divorced, and after a lot of tossing, she was still divorced; Li Xuelian's initial thought was to kill Qin Yuhe quickly and settle the matter.But Qin Yuhe is 1.85 meters tall, with big arms and round waist, so Li Xuelian may not be able to kill him if he is really killed.Back then when they got married, they approached Qin Yuhe, expecting him to be big and round, with great strength, but now that they kill people, a good thing has turned into a bad thing.In order to kill someone, Li Xuelian had to find a helper.The first thing she thought of was her natal brother.Li Xuelian's younger brother is Li Yingyong.Li Yingyong is also 1.85 meters, with big arms and a round waist. He drives a four-wheel tractor all day long, and travels all over the country to collect and sell grain, and also dumps cotton and pesticides.Li Xuelian went back to her natal home.Li Yingyong's family is eating lunch.At the dinner table, Li Yingyong, his wife and their two-year-old son were lying on their stomachs, "hulu" "hulu" eating noodles with fried sauce.Li Xuelian grabbed the door frame and said, "Yingyong, come out for a while, sister has a word with you."

Li Yingyong raised his head from the bowl and looked at the door: "Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it here." Li Xuelian shook her head: "I can only say this to you alone." Li Yingyong glanced at his wife and children, put down the bowl, got up, and followed Li Xuelian to the mound behind the village.It's already the beginning of spring, and a river flows down the mound, breaking the ice and flowing forward.Li Xuelian: "Yongyong, how does sister treat you?" Li Yingyong scratched his head: "Not bad. When I got married, you lent me 20,000 yuan."

Li Xuelian: "That sister asks you one thing." Li Yingyong: "Sister, tell me." Li Xuelian: "Help me kill Qin Yuhe." Li Yingyong was stunned.Li Yingyong knew about the "divorce" between Li Xuelian and Qin Yuhe, so he never thought of murder.Li Yingyong scratched his head: "Sister, if you want me to kill a pig, I will definitely help you. We have never killed this person before." Li Xuelian: "No one kills people all day long, just to see that they haven't reached that point." Li Yingyong said again: "It's easy to kill people, but if you kill someone, you have to be shot."

Li Xuelian: "People won't let you kill him, you help me hold him down, let me stab him to death, I was the one who got shot, it has nothing to do with you." Li Yingyong still hesitated: "If you hold someone down and let you kill me, I will also go to jail." Li Xuelian was in a hurry: "Am I your sister? Your sister is so bullied, so you just ignore it? If you don't care about me, I won't kill anyone. I'll go back and hang myself." Li Yingyong was frightened by Li Xuelian, and hurriedly said: "Sister, I can kill you for you, when will I do it?"

Li Xuelian: "Don't wait for this matter, let's do it tomorrow." Li Yingyong nodded: "Tomorrow is tomorrow. Anyway, I want to kill, hurry up sooner rather than later." But the next day Li Xuelian went to her natal home to find Li Yingyong to kill her. Li Yingyong's wife told Li Xuelian that Li Yingyong drove a tractor to Shandong to collect cotton last night.It was agreed to kill people, so why go to collect cotton?In the past, the cotton was harvested without going out of the province. How did it go to Shandong this time?Obviously slipped away.Li Xuelian sighed. In addition to knowing that Li Yingyong is not brave, she also knew that the saying "fighting tigers depends on brothers, and going into battle depends on father and son soldiers" is wrong. In order to find someone to help her kill, Li Xuelian thought of Lao Hu who was killing pigs in the town.The name of the town is Guaiwan Town.Lao Hu is a red-faced man who kills pigs every day at five o'clock, and pushes the meat to the market to sell.What is thrown on the meat table is meat, and what is hung on the meat hook is also meat.In the basket under the meat case, there are piles of pig heads and pig offal.In the past, Li Xuelian went to Laohu's stall in Jishang to buy meat. After buying it, Laohu went down again, sliced ​​a piece of meat from the case pig, and threw it into Li Xuelian's basket; or threw a pig intestine from the basket.But this meat sausage was not thrown away for nothing, Lao Hu shouted "Baby", his eyes were bewitched.Sometimes they even circumvented the meat case, and made a fuss about Li Xuelian.They were all scolded back by Li Xuelian.Li Xuelian came to Lao Hu's meat stand in Jishang, and said to Lao Hu, "Old Hu, find a place where no one is around, and I'll talk to you." Lao Hu was a little puzzled.After thinking about it, he put down the knife in his hand, and followed Li Xuelian to the secluded place after the market.There was an abandoned mill in a secluded place, and the two entered the mill again.Li Xuelian: "Old Hu, how is our relationship?" A light flashed in Lao Hu's eyes: "Not bad, baby, have you ever suffered a loss when buying meat?" Li Xuelian: "Then I ask you one thing." Old Hu: "What's the matter?" Li Xuelian accepted the lesson of her younger brother Li Yingyong, and didn't talk to Lao Hu about killing people. She just said, "I'll call Qin Yuhe over, help me hold him down, and let me slap them both." Lao Hu has also heard about the matter between Li Xuelian and Qin Yuhe; holding someone down is not difficult for Lao Hu, and Lao Hu readily agreed: "I've heard about your affairs, Qin Yuhe is not a thing." He added: "Don't tell me to beat someone up, even if you beat someone up for you, it's not a big deal. What I want to know is, if I help you, what benefits can I get?" Li Xuelian: "You beat someone up for me, and I'll do that with you." Old Hu was overjoyed, and hugged Li Xuelian as he stepped forward, groping his hands up and down: "Baby, as long as you can do something, you can kill people, let alone beat people." Li Xuelian pushed Lao Hu away: "I won't kill people." Lao Hu leaned forward again: "It's okay to beat people. Then let's do business first, and beat people later." Li Xuelian pushed him away again: "Beat people first, then do business." Started to walk out of the mill: "Or forget it." Lao Hu hurriedly pushed Li Xuelian away: "Don't worry, baby, then follow what you said, hit people first, and then do things." He also warned: "You can't take your word for it." Li Xuelian stood still: "Everything I say is true." Lao Hu patted his chest happily: "When will you do it? It's about time, not too late." Li Xuelian: "Then tomorrow. I will go to Qin Yuhe today and ask him out." That afternoon, Li Xuelian went to the county seat, to the Xiguan Fertilizer Factory in the county seat, to meet Qin Yuhe.When I went there, I held my two-month-old daughter in my arms, and wanted to trick Qin Yuhe back to the town by asking Qin Yuhe to go to the town's civil affairs office tomorrow to discuss the child's support.The chemical fertilizer factory has more than a dozen big chimneys, and the white smoke is "chug" into the sky.Li Xuelian searched the chemical fertilizer factory all over, and everyone she met said that Qin Yuhe drove a large truck to Heilongjiang to deliver fertilizer, and could not return for ten and a half months.Like Li Xuelian's younger brother, Qin Yuhe obviously hid.Going to Heilongjiang to find people is separated by four or five provinces; Qin Yuhe is a living creature, driving a car all day long; it seems that killing a person is easy, but finding a person is difficult; Qin Yuhe can only live ten and a half days longer It's been a month.Li Xuelian held back her anger.After leaving the fertilizer factory, I felt full of urination again.There is a paid toilet at the gate of the fertilizer factory, and it costs 20 cents to urinate.The person looking at the toilet was a middle-aged woman with permed hair like a chicken coop.Li Xuelian paid 20 cents, handed her daughter over to the woman who looked after the toilet, and urinated in the toilet.The stomach emptied, and the gas filled the stomach even more.When she came out, she saw the child crying in the arms of the woman watching the toilet, Li Xuelian slapped the child on the head: "It's all because of you, a bastard, that made me unable to live." The entanglement between Li Xuelian and Qin Yuhe was all because of this child.Li Xuelian and Qin Yuhe have been married for eight years.A son was born in the second year of marriage, and now the son is seven years old.Last spring, Li Xuelian found out that she was pregnant again.I don't know which time it was, I miscalculated the date, Qin Yuhe should have been wearing a condom, but he didn't let him wear it, Qin Yuhe felt relieved, and Li Xuelian was pregnant.Second child is illegal.For example, Qin Yuhe is a farmer and can give birth to a child even if he is fined several thousand yuan, but Qin Yuhe is an employee of a chemical fertilizer factory. If he gives birth to a second child, he will be fined and fired from office. Ten years of work will be for nothing. .The two went to the county hospital to have an abortion.Li Xuelian was two months pregnant and didn't feel any sensation. After taking off her pants, she got on the operating table, opened her thighs, and suddenly felt a movement in her stomach; Li Xuelian closed her thighs again, jumped off the operating table and put on her pants.The doctor thought she was going to the toilet to pee, but she left the operating room and began to walk outside the hospital.Qin Yuhe pushed her away: "Where are you going? A dozen anesthetics will not hurt." Li Xuelian: "There are a lot of people here, let's talk about things when we go home." All the way without words.The two took the 40-mile rural bus and returned to the village. When they got home, Li Xuelian went to the cowshed again.There is a cow in the cowshed who just gave birth to a calf two days ago.The calf is feeding on the crotch of the cow.The old cow was hungry, and saw Li Xuelian "moo".Li Xuelian was busy adding grass to the cows.Qin Yuhe rushed to the cowshed: "What are you going to do?" Li Xuelian: "The child is kicking me in the stomach, I have to give birth to him." Qin Yuhe: "I can't give birth. If I give birth to him, I will be fired from the fertilizer factory." Li Xuelian: "Think of an idea that will allow you to be born without firing you." Qin Yuhe: "There is no such idea in the world." Li Xuelian stood still: "Let's divorce." Qin Yuhe was stunned: "What do you mean?" Li Xuelian: "Zhao Train has done this in the town. Once we divorce, we have nothing to do with each other. When I give birth to a child, the child becomes mine alone, and it has nothing to do with you. The eldest son belongs to you, and the one born The children belong to me, one for each person, won’t they be overborn?” Qin Yuhe didn't turn the corner.After turning the corner, he scratched his head: "It's a good idea, but we can't divorce just because of the child." Li Xuelian: "We are the same as Zhao Train. We will remarry after our child has a registered permanent residence. The child was born during the divorce, and remarriage means that each person has one child. There is no policy that stipulates that both parties cannot marry if they have children. Marriage It will never be born again.” Qin Yuhe scratched his head and thought about it again, and couldn't help admiring Zhao Train: "This Zhao Train has twists and turns, which made him think of it. What does this Zhao Train do?" Li Xuelian: "Work as a veterinarian in the town." Qin Yuhe: "He shouldn't be a veterinarian. He should go to Beijing to manage family planning throughout the country. That way, he will plug all the loopholes." She looked at Li Xuelian again: "Not only is there a child hidden in your stomach, but you also hide all these fancy intestines. I used to underestimate you." So the two went to the town to divorce.After the divorce, in order to avoid suspicion, the two stopped dating.But after more than half a year, when Li Xuelian gave birth to the child, it was discovered that Qin Yuhe had married Xiaomi who was developing a gallery in the county.Not only married, Xiaomi is also pregnant.The divorce was fake at the beginning, but it turned out to be real.At the beginning, Li Xuelian took the road of Zhao Train, but she didn't expect that the destination would be so different along the way.Li Xuelian went to Qin Yuhe to make trouble. Li Xuelian said that the divorce was fake, but Qin Yuhe insisted that the divorce was real.With the divorce certificate in place, Li Xuelian lost her mind.Only then did Li Xuelian realize that she had underestimated Qin Yuhe.It's not that I can't swallow this matter, it's that I can't swallow this breath.What's even more irritating than this is that Li Xuelian was the one who proposed the divorce in the first place.It's not wrong to be wronged by others, but to get in by yourself, this matter is useless.Unable to hold back, Li Xuelian wanted to kill Qin Yuhe.Qin Yuhe went to Heilongjiang and couldn't kill Qin Yuhe for a while, so Li Xuelian took her anger out on her two-month-old daughter.The daughter was crying, so he slapped her down, suffocating her, and stopped crying.On the other hand, the woman watching the toilet saw her beating the child, and she jumped up and down anxiously: "What do you mean? I have no grudge against you." Li Xuelian was taken aback: "What do you mean?" The woman watching the toilet: "If you want to beat the child, go elsewhere. The child is so young, how can it stand up to you? It's okay if you beat the child to death. Everyone knows that people have died here. Who would come here to use the toilet? " Li Xuelian understood, took the child, slumped onto the toilet steps, and cried loudly: "Qin Yuhe, I'm going to fuck your mother, you made me unable to live." The child gasped, and cried with Li Xuelian; the women watching the toilet saw Li Xuelian scolding Qin Yuhe, so they knew she was Qin Yuhe's ex-wife.The story of the "divorce" between Qin Yuhe and Li Xuelian had spread in the fertilizer factory, and then spread to the toilet at the entrance of the fertilizer factory.The women watching the toilet saw Li Xuelian scolding Qin Yuhe, and they also scolded: "This Qin Yuhe is really a fucking thing." Seeing someone scolding her, Li Xuelian couldn't help but get closer to her, and said to the woman watching the toilet: "The divorce was obviously fake, how did it become real?" Unexpectedly, the woman looking at the toilet said, "I'm not talking about your divorce." Li Xuelian was stunned: "What do you want to say?" The woman watching the toilet: "Qin Yuhe doesn't understand human nature. In January this year, he was drunk and went to the toilet. You have to pay to go to the toilet. I get a commission from it. My family is worth it What about the toilet. Qin Yuhe refused to pay the 20 cents because he belonged to the fertilizer factory. I pushed him to ask for it, but he punched me and knocked out half of my front tooth." Then she opened her mouth for Li Xuelian to watch.This woman really lacked half of her front teeth.When Li Xuelian was with Qin Yuhe in the past, she thought he was reasonable, but after the divorce, his temperament changed.I really underestimated him.Li Xuelian: "I didn't find him today. If I found him, I killed him." Hearing that Li Xuelian was going to kill someone, the woman watching the toilet was not surprised, she just said: "The one who received a thousand dollars just killed him, it's too cheap for him." Li Xuelian was stunned: "What do you mean?" The woman watching the toilet: "Killing is nothing more than nodding, and it will be over in a moment. Tell me, for such a turtle, you shouldn't kill him, you should make trouble with him. Didn't he marry someone else? To make him turn upside down, and to make his wife and children divorced, so that he can't die, and he can't live, it's just a relief." One sentence reminded Li Xuelian.It turns out that there is a better way to punish a person than to kill him.Kill a person, and things are still confused; make him turn upside down, make his wife break up, but you can turn the reversed things upside down again.It's not to reverse this matter, but to reverse the principles that are reversed in things.When Li Xuelian brought her child to the fertilizer factory, she wanted to kill Qin Yuhe, but when she left the factory, she thought of suing.The road that no one thought of was thought of by a person who manages shit.This person originally had an enmity with Qin Yuhe, and half of his teeth were broken by Qin Yuhe, but now he unintentionally saved Qin Yuhe's life again. The second time Li Xuelian met Wang Gongdao was in the courtroom.Wang Gongdao was wearing a judge's uniform and had just finished a trial of a property dispute case.The two old Chao family brothers on the East Street of the county seat, both of their parents died since they were young; when they grew up, they jointly opened a hot and spicy soup shop on the cross street of the county seat.The two brothers opened at five o'clock every day, and the shop was located in a busy city, so the business gradually boomed.But the year before last when the eldest got married, there was one more person between the two brothers, and the conflicts also increased, until the point of separation.The family property is easy to divide, two ones add five, and when they arrived at the hot and spicy soup shop, the two wanted to fight for it, and they refused to give in to each other, so they went to court.Wang Gongdao and the eldest brother of the Chao family were classmates in elementary school. After greeting each other, they mediated with the two brothers, who wanted the hot and spicy soup shop, how much to pay the other party, and so on.The boss of the Chao family listened to Wang Gongdao's mediation, and the second brother of the Chao family had an unexpected incident, saying that since the eldest got married, he has not gotten up in the morning every morning. For two years, he has opened the Hu spicy soup shop on the cross street at the fifth watch. Isn't this a long-term job?Before mediating the Hulatang shop, the boss must first compensate him for the losses he suffered in the past two years.The boss was also in a hurry, saying that last year the second child suffered from stomach bleeding and had an intestinal and caesarean section, which cost the family more than 8,000 yuan in vain. How to settle this account?The two brothers talked more and more, left their seats, and joined together, as if fighting in court.Wang Gongdao saw that the mediation failed, so he had to announce the closure of the court, and the case will be judged another day.Unexpectedly, the second child refused to let the court be closed: "It's okay not to talk about opening the intestines and caesarean section. When it comes to opening the intestines and caesarean section, the Hu spicy soup shop is not a problem; let's not talk about the Hu spicy soup shop today, just talk about the opening Intestinal dissection——If you don’t tell a chick to eat rice today, no one will even think about stepping out of this house!” Jumping there again: "Why did I have my intestines cut open, and I was not angry with them?" Wang Gongdao hurriedly said that "opening the intestines and laparotomy" was an extravagant branch and had nothing to do with this case; who knew that the second child had committed a crime, so he came to Wang Gongdao and pointed at Wang Gongdao. "Wang, I know that you are classmates. If you dare to bend the law for personal gain today, I will fight it." He rolled up his arms and rolled up his sleeves again: "Let me tell you clearly, when I came here, I had two sips of wine." Wang Gong said: "What do you mean, you still want to hit me?" The second child pulled his face anxiously: "I can see that it hasn't reached that point." Wang Gongdao was so angry that he trembled all over: "You two brothers are fighting for property, I am not in the salt, I am not in the vinegar, I kindly persuade you, why should you beat me?" Hitting the table with a mallet: "Troublemakers, all gangsters." Shout out to the bailiff and push the two brothers out.At this time Li Xuelian stepped forward: "Brother, tell me about me." Wang Gongdao's emotions were still on the two brothers of the Chao family, and he didn't recognize Li Xuelian for a moment: "Your business, what's the matter?" Li Xuelian: "It's about the divorce. I went to your house the night before. My name is Li Xuelian. You asked me to wait for three days. Today is the third day." It was only then that Wang Gongdao remembered who the person in front of him was, and then he turned his thoughts from the two brothers of the Chao family to Li Xuelian.He sat down at the legal table again and began to think about Li Xuelian's case.After thinking for a long time, he sighed: "Trouble." Li Xuelian: "Who is bothering?" Wang Gong said: "It's all troublesome. I briefly touched on your case, and it is not easy. First, you have been divorced, and you need to get another divorce; in order to get another divorce, you must first prove that the previous divorce was false, and then Isn't it troublesome to get married again and then get divorced?" Li Xuelian: "I'm not afraid of trouble." Wang Gong said: "Let's talk about your ex-husband, what's his name?" Li Xuelian: "Qin Yuhe." Wang Gong said: "If he is still single, it's okay to talk about it. Up to now, he has married someone else again. If it proves that your divorce is false and you want to marry him again, he still has to marry someone else. Divorce your wife first, otherwise it will be a crime of bigamy; after marrying you, you have to divorce again, isn't that troublesome?" Li Xuelian: "What I want is this trouble." Wang Gongdao: "There is also a court, which has never tried this kind of case. It seems to be one case, but it is actually several cases. Several cases have been tried, from divorce to divorce, and the case has gone around. Isn't it troublesome to go back to the original place?" Li Xuelian: "Big brother, you are running a lawsuit shop, so don't be afraid of trouble." Prince Wang said, "But that's not what I'm talking about." Li Xuelian: "What exactly are you going to say?" Wang Gong said: "Even if the divorce between you and Qin Yuhe last year was fake, it is precisely this fake, and you will be in big trouble." Li Xuelian: "Where is it getting bigger?" Wang Gongdao: "If your divorce was fake at the beginning, a discerning person can see at a glance that the purpose of your divorce was to have one more child. If you divorced for the sake of having more children, you are suspected of avoiding family planning. Knowing the plan What is birth?" Li Xuelian: "Don't let people have more babies." Wang Gongdao: "It's not that simple, it's a national policy. When it comes to national policy, things get serious again. If it is concluded that your divorce was fake, before talking about you and Qin Yuhe, you have to talk about your baby. You It seems that you are suing others, but you are actually suing yourself; you are not suing yourself, but your children." Li Xuelian was stunned there.After thinking about it for a long time, he said, "Can my baby be sentenced to death after a trial like this?" Wang Gongdao laughed instead: "That can't be done." Li Xuelian: "Can I be sentenced to death?" Wang Gongdao: "No, it means that the administration will intervene, fine, and dismissed from office. Isn't this a chicken-and-egg fight?" Li Xuelian: "What I want is chicken and egg. I'm not afraid of fines, I'm not afraid of expulsion from public office, and I don't have a public office. I sold soy sauce in the town. At worst, I'm not allowed to sell soy sauce. Qin Yuhe's grandson has a public office, so I just want it." Fire him from office." Wang Gongdao scratched his head: "If you insist on doing this, I can't help it. Have you brought a complaint?" Li Xuelian took out a petition from her bosom and handed it to Wang Gongdao.The complaint was written by Lao Qian from the "Lao Qian Law Firm" on the North Street of the county seat, and it cost 300 yuan.There are three pages in total, one hundred yuan per page.Li Xuelian thought that the old money was going to be expensive, so the old money stared at him: "The case is serious, the case is serious." He also said: "Several cases have been written on one paper of complaint. For several cases, the money collected for one case is not expensive. If I want to discuss this matter in detail, I will still suffer." Wang Gongdao took the complaint and asked again: "Did you bring the legal fees?" Li Xuelian: "How much?" Wang Gong said: "Two hundred." Li Xuelian: "It's less than old money." He also said: "Two hundred solves so many troubles, it's not expensive." Wang Gongdao glanced at Li Xuelian, and started to walk out of the court: "Pay the legal fees to the bank, and go back and wait for the letter." Li Xuelian chased from behind: "How long will it take?" Wang Gongdao thought for a while: "It will take at least ten days to enter the litigation procedure." Li Xuelian: "Big brother, I will look for you again in ten days." In ten days, Li Xuelian did seven things. One, take a shower.Ever since the child was born, she only cared about killing Qin Yuhe, Li Xuelian hadn't bathed for two months, and she could smell dew on her body; now that the event was settled, Li Xuelian went to the town bathhouse to take a bath.After two full hours of soaking in the hot water pool, my head was sweating profusely and my body was soaked, so I lay down on the wooden bed and let someone scrub me.The bathhouse in the town costs five yuan for a bath, and five yuan for a scrub; in the past, Li Xuelian scrubbed it by herself, but this time she spent five yuan, and let the scrubber do it.The sister-in-law who was taking a bath was a short, fat woman from Sichuan. She was short in stature but had a big palm. When she slammed her palm down, she was surprised: "I haven't seen this big clay scroll for several years." Li Xuelian: "Sister-in-law, rub it carefully, I have a big event to do." The sister-in-law who was taking a bath: "What's the big deal, are you getting married?" Li Xuelian: "Yes, get married." The sister-in-law who was taking a bath looked at Li Xuelian's stomach: "Looking at your age, is it a second marriage?" Li Xuelian nodded: "Yes, it's a second marriage." Li Xuelian thought about it carefully, she didn't tell lies to the sister-in-law who was taking a bath, and filed a lawsuit with Qin Yuhe just to remarry and divorce him.After coming out of the bathhouse, Li Xuelian felt that she was a few catties lighter and her steps became lighter.Passing through the town, I was seen by the butcher Lao Hu.When Lao Hu saw Li Xuelian, he was cutting meat with a knife like a fly seeing blood. He put down the meat in a hurry and forgot to put the knife down. Qin Yuhe, why is there no sound?" Li Xuelian: "Don't worry, he hasn't been caught yet, he went to Heilongjiang." Lao Hu stared at Li Xuelian.Li Xuelian had just taken a bath, her face was flushed, and her thick hair was curled up on top of her head, dripping water; not long after giving birth, her milk was swollen; her whole body exuded the fragrance of body and milk.Old Hu leaned forward: "Dear family, why don't we do business first and beat people later." Li Xuelian: "It's still as agreed, hit people first, and then handle things." In fact, there is no need to beat anyone at this time.A few days ago, she was going to beat someone; it was not beating, but killing; a few days later, Li Xuelian stopped beating or killing people, and she wanted to torment people.But Li Xuelian dared not tell Lao Hu the truth, for fear that Lao Hu would be in a hurry.What Lao Hu is anxious about is another aspect: "People can't beat them all the time, but they can suffocate them to death. Or let's do things first. After doing things, I dare to go to Heilongjiang and kill people." There is no need to beat people, let alone kill people.Li Xuelian stared at the bloody knife in Lao Hu's hand: "You can't kill people. If you are asked to kill someone, you are hurting yourself. If you kill someone, don't you also have to be shot?" Wiping Lao Hu's chest again: "Lao Hu, let's not be in a hurry, we can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Lao Hu jumped there clutching his chest: "You said it lightly, if you drag it on like this, I will be suffocated to death." Pointing to his eyes: "Look, I can't sleep every night, my eyes are bloodshot." He also said: "If this drags on, if I don't kill Qin Yuhe, it's time to kill someone else." Li Xuelian patted Lao Hu's stout shoulder and comforted Lao Hu: "We are not in a hurry for Lao Hu. It's not that we don't want to take revenge. It's not the time. When the time comes, we must report." Second, change your hairstyle.After dismissing Lao Hu, Li Xuelian went into a hairdressing salon.Li Xuelian used to have a masson pine, but now she wants to cut it off and change her hair into short hair.To toss Qin Yuhe, it is inevitable to meet him again, Li Xuelian is worried that the two will fight again if they talk about each other.When they were together in the past, the two fought.Long hair is easy to be caught, short hair is easy to get rid of; after getting rid of it, turn around and kick his crotch.Masson Song changed her hair to short, and Li Xuelian didn't recognize herself in the mirror anymore.It's right if you don't know her, Li Xuelian is not the Li Xuelian she used to be. Three, after coming out of the hairdressing salon, I went into the store and bought a new set of clothes for ninety-five yuan.Wang Gongdao is right, this case is not simple, it seems to be one case, but in fact it is several cases; it will take a long time to open up a lawsuit; to litigate with people, you have to meet people often, you can’t It looks too sloppy; it's too sloppy, you don't look good, it's more like being dumped, let alone the fake divorce last year. Four, I spent forty-five yuan and bought another pair of sneakers.High top, double rows of sixteen air holes; once the shoelaces are tightened, the feet are tightly wrapped.Looking around, Li Xuelian was very satisfied.To toss others is to toss oneself; to toss with Qin Yuhe, it is inevitable to walk more. Five, sell pigs.The family feeds an old sow and two piglets.Li Xuelian sold them all.In addition to the need for money for the lawsuit, there is no one to look after them because of the lawsuit.Before people's affairs are clear, let's not talk about pigs.However, Li Xuelian did not sell the pig to Lao Hu, who slaughtered pigs in the town; she sold the pig to Lao Hu, but she was afraid of accidents; she drove the pig to another town and sold it to Lao Deng, who slaughtered pigs there. Six, entrust the children.Li Xuelian took a rural bus and traveled fifty miles, entrusting her two-month-old daughter to her middle school classmate Meng Lanzhi.Li Xuelian originally wanted to entrust the child to her natal brother Li Yingyong, but the last time Li Yingyong was asked to help kill people, Li Yingyong fled to Shandong, and Li Xuelian saw that this brother was unreliable.Li Yingyong relies on his sister to do things, but his sister does not rely on Li Yingyong.From now on, no one will rely on anyone.Li Xuelian and Meng Lanzhi were not good friends when they were in middle school.Not only are they not good friends, they are enemies.Because they fell in love with a male classmate in the class at the same time.Later, this male classmate didn't get along with Meng Lanzhi or Li Xuelian, but fell in love with an older sister who was two grades higher than them.Li Xuelian and Meng Lanzhi cried to each other and became life and death friends.Li Xuelian came to Meng Lanzhi's house with the child in her arms.Meng Lanzhi also just gave birth to a child, and she has milk in her breast, so it is convenient for her to entrust the child to her.When the two met, it goes without saying the ins and outs of entrusting the child, because the story of Li Xuelian was known to all acquaintances.Li Xuelian just said: "I put the child here with you, so I don't have to worry about it." He also said: "I'm going to set aside two months, do nothing, and make him die." He asked Meng Lanzhi again: "Meng Lanzhi, if it were you, would you toss like me?" Meng Lanzhi shook her head. Li Xuelian: "Then you will think that I am messing around like others?" Meng Lanzhi shook her head. Li Xuelian: "Why?" Meng Lanzhi: "That's the difference between the two of us. I can bear things, but you can't." Rolling up his sleeves: "Look, Lao Zang beat this." Lao Zang is Meng Lanzhi's husband.Meng Lanzhi: "Forbearance is a lifetime, and not forbearance is a lifetime. Although I am afraid of trouble, I admire people who are not afraid of trouble." He added: "Li Xuelian, you are much better than me." Li Xuelian hugged Meng Lanzhi and cried, "Meng Lanzhi, with your words, my death is worth it." Seven, worship Bodhisattva.I didn't think of worshiping Bodhisattva at first.After entrusting the child to Meng Lanzhi, Li Xuelian took the country bus and walked back, passing Jietai Mountain.There is a temple on Jietai Mountain, and there is a Bodhisattva in the temple.First, I heard the sound of chanting scriptures from the tweeter in the temple, and then I saw many men, women and children climbing up the mountain to burn incense in the temple.Li Xuelian originally thought that things were already prepared, but now she thought of adding one item: she only cared about the affairs between people, and forgot that there is such a thing as God in this world.Li Xuelian quickly stopped the bus, jumped out of the car, and ran up the mountain.There are people inside and outside the temple.To enter the temple, you need to buy tickets.Li Xuelian bought a ticket for ten yuan, and another five yuan for an incense stick.Entering the temple, lit the earth incense, lifted it to the top of the head, knelt down among many good men and women, and knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva.Others come to burn incense to ask for good, but only Li Xuelian is for bad.Li Xuelian closed her eyes and muttered: "Bodhisattva, you are so merciful and merciful. After this lawsuit is over, let Qin Yuhe's grandson's family be ruined." After thinking about it, he said: "If the family is broken and the family is dead, but the hatred is not resolved, let him die a bad life." Li Xuelian was going to sue for two months, and it took only 20 minutes until the court session.The case was tried by Wang Gong, and there was a "presiding judge" sign in front of him. There was a judge on the left and a clerk on the right.In the lawsuit with Qin Yuhe, Qin Yuhe was not present at all, and entrusted a lawyer, Lao Sun, to appear in court.When Li Xuelian wrote the complaint, she approached the lawyer Lao Qian, and Lao Sun's law firm was right next to the "Lao Qian Law Firm".In court, the cause of the case was first stated, and then the evidence was presented, the testimony was read, and the witnesses were passed on.The evidence is the divorce certificate in duplicate; after the court appraisal, the divorce certificate is true.Read the testimony again, Li Xuelian's complaint stated that the divorce last year was false; Qin Yuhe's lawyer Lao Sun read Qin Yuhe's statement, but said that the divorce last year was true.The next witness was Lao Gu, the civil affairs assistant of the Guaiwan Township government who handled the divorce procedures for Li Xuelian and Qin Yuhe last year.Lao Gu has been leaning on the doorpost of the court, listening to the trial process with his ears open; now he stepped forward and opened his mouth and said that the divorce last year was true; he has been married and divorced for more than 30 years, and has never There have been mistakes.李雪莲当时就急了：“老古，你那么大岁数了，咋就看不出这事是假的呢？” 老古马上也跟李雪莲急了：“如果是假的，不成你们联手骗我了吗？” 又拍着巴掌说：“骗我还是小事，不等于在骗政府吗？你说离婚是假的。” 指律师老郑：“他刚才也念了秦玉河的话，秦玉河就说是真的。” 李雪莲：“秦玉河是个王八蛋，他的话如何能信？” 老古：“他的话不能信，我就信你的。去年离婚时，秦玉河倒没说啥，就你的话多。我问你们为啥离婚，你口口声声说，你们感情破裂。当初破裂，现在又不破裂了？这一年你们面都没见，这感情是咋修复的？今天秦玉河连场都不到，还不说明破裂？” 说得李雪莲张口结舌。老古又气鼓鼓地：“我活了五十多年，还没这么被人玩过呢！” 又说：“这案子要翻过来，我在拐弯镇还混不混了？” 好像李雪莲不是与秦玉河打官司，而是与老古打官司。人证物证，一目了然，王公道法槌一落，李雪莲就败诉了。大家起身往外走，李雪莲拦住王公道：“大兄弟，官司咋能这么审呢？” 王公道：“按法律程序，官司就该这么审呀。” 李雪莲：“秦玉河到都没到，事儿就完了？” 王公道：“按法律规定，他可以委托律师到庭。” 李雪莲目瞪口呆：“我就不明白，明明是假的，咋就变不成假的呢？” 王公道将去年的离婚证交给她：“从法律讲，这就是真的。早给你说，你不听。” 又悄声说：“我没说娃的事，就算便宜你了。” 李雪莲：“这么说，官司输了，你还照顾我了？” 王公道一愣，马上说：“那可不。” 李雪莲头一回见到董宪法，是在县法院门口。 董宪法是法院审判委员会专职委员。董宪法今年五十二岁，矮，胖，腆着肚子。董宪法在法院工作二十年了。二十年前，董宪法从部队转业，回到县里工作。当时县上有三个单位缺人：畜牧局，卫生局，还有县法院。县委组织部长翻看董宪法的档案材料：“从材料上，看不出他有啥特长，但看他的名字，不该去畜牧局，也不该去卫生局，应该去法院，'懂'宪法，就是懂法律嘛。” 于是董宪法就来到了法院。董宪法在部队当营长，按级别论，到法院给安排了个庭长。十年后，不当庭长了，升任法院审判委员会专职委员。说是升任，法院系统的人都知道，是明升暗降。这个专职委员，只是一个业务职位，并无实权。名义上享受副院长待遇，但不是副院长；审案、判案、出门用车、签字报销，权力还不如一个庭长。换句话，董宪法的庭长，是给挤下去的；或者，是给挤上去的。这个专职委员，董宪法一当又是十年，离退休已经不远了。二十年前，他上边的院长、副院长都比他年龄大；如今的院长、副院长都比他年轻；从年龄讲，董宪法也算是老资格了。正因为是老资格，二十年只混到一个“专委”，不见进步；或者说，从庭长到“专委”，等于是退步；就被同事们看不起。比同事们看不起董宪法的，是董宪法自己。同事们看不起他是在平时，董宪法看不起自己是在关键时候；好几次该当副院长时，他没把握好机会；按说专委离副院长比庭长近，但好几个庭长越过他当了副院长，他仍原地未动。关键时候，不是比平时更重要？平时的点滴积累，不都是为了关键时候？比这更关键的是，同事们觉得他二十年没上去是因为窝囊，董宪法觉得自己没上去是因为正直。觉得自己不会巴结人，不会送礼，不会贪赃枉法，才错过了关键时候。 董宪法有些悲壮，也有些灰心。当正义变为灰心时，董宪法便有些得过且过。比这些更重要的是，董宪法压根不喜欢法院的工作。不喜欢不是觉得法律不重要，而是他打小喜欢做的，是把事往一块拢，而不是往两边拆；而法院的工作，整天干的全是拆的事。好事大家不来打官司。就像医生，整天接触的都不是正常人，而是病人一样。医院盼的是人生病，法院盼的是麻烦和官司；没有生病和官司，医院和法院都得关门。董宪法觉得自己入错了行，这才是最关键的。董宪法觉得，牲口市上的牲口牙子，与人在袖子里捏手，撮合双方买卖，都比法院的工作强。但一个法院的专委，也不能撂下专委不干，去集上卖牲口。如去卖牲口，董宪法自个儿没啥，世上所有的人会疯了：他们会觉得董宪法疯了。所以董宪法整日当着专委，心里却闷闷不乐。 别人见董宪法闷闷不乐，以为他为了二十年没进步和专委的事，喝酒的时候，还替他打抱不平；董宪法闷闷不乐也为二十年没进步和专委的事，但比这些更重要的，他干脆不想当这个专委，想去集市上当牲口牙子。更闷闷不乐的是，这个闷闷不乐还不能说。于是董宪法对自个儿的工作，除了得过且过，还对周边的环境和人有些厌烦。正因为得过且过和厌烦，董宪法便有些破碗破摔，工作之余，最大的爱好是喝酒。按说他当着审判委员会的专委，审判委员会也研究案子，或者说，董宪法也掺乎案子，原告被告都会请他喝酒；但久而久之，大家见他只能研究和掺乎，不能拍板，说起话来，还不如一个庭长或法官，便无人找他啰嗦。外面无人请他喝酒，董宪法可以与法院的同事喝。但法院的同事见他二十年不进步，想着以后也不会进步了，只能等着退休了；一个毫无希望的人，也无人浪费工夫与他喝酒。法院是个每天有人请酒的地方，但董宪法身在法院，却无人请他喝酒。长时间无处喝酒，也把人憋死了。久而久之，董宪法已经沦落到蹭人酒喝的地步。每天一到中午十一点，董宪法便到法院门口踱步。原告或被告请别的法官喝酒，大家从法院出来，碰见董宪法在门口踱步，同事只好随口说：“老董，一块吃饭去吧。” 董宪法一开始还犹豫：“还有事。” 不等对方接话，马上又说：“有啥事，不能下午办呀。” 又说：“有多少鸭子，不能下午赶下河呀。” 便随人吃饭喝酒去了。 久而久之，同事出门再见到董宪法，便把话说到前头：“老董，知你忙，今儿吃饭就不让你了。” 董宪法倒急了：“我没说忙，你咋知道我忙？啥意思？想吃独食呀？” 又说：“别拿我不当回事，明告诉你们，我老董在法院工作二十年了，忙也许帮不上你们，要想坏你们的事，还是容易的。” 倒让同事不好意思：“你看，说着说着急了，不就开个玩笑吗？” 大家一起去喝酒。再久而久之，同事出去吃饭，不敢走法院前门，都从后门溜，知道前门有个董宪法在候着。李雪莲见到董宪法，就是董宪法在法院门口蹓跶的时候。状告秦玉河之前，李雪莲没打过官司，不知道董宪法是谁。上回王公道开庭，判李雪莲败诉；李雪莲不服；不但不服王公道的判决，连王公道也不信了；她想重打官司。如果重打官司，就不单是状告秦玉河的事了；在把她和秦玉河去年离婚的事推翻之前，先得把王公道的判决给推翻了；只有推翻这个判决，事情才可以重新说起。不打官司只是一件事儿，打起官司，事情变得越来越复杂了。但李雪莲只知道重打官司得把王公道的判决推翻，并不知道怎样才能把这个判决推翻；想着能推翻王公道判决的，必定是在法院能管住王公道的人。王公道在县法院民事一庭工作，李雪莲便去找民事一庭的庭长。一庭的庭长姓贾。老贾知道这是桩难缠的案子；比案子更难缠的，是告状的人；比人更难缠的是，一眼就能看出，这妇女不懂法律程序；而把一整套法律程序讲清楚，比断一件案子还难；老贾也是害怕事情越说越多，说来说去，反倒把自己缠在里面了；李雪莲找老贾是下午六点，老贾晚上还有饭局，也是急着出去喝酒，便灵机一动，化繁就简，把这麻烦推给了法院的专委董宪法。推给董宪法并不是他跟董宪法过不去，而是他不敢推给别的上级，如几个副院长；更不敢推给院长；何况他平日就爱跟董宪法斗嘴；两人见面，不骂嘴不打招呼；昨天晚上，老贾又在酒桌上和董宪法斗过酒；便想将这气继续斗下去。老贾故意嘬着牙花子：“这案子很难缠呀。” 李雪莲：“本来不难缠，是你们给弄难缠了。” 老贾：“案子已经判了，一判，就代表法院，要想推翻，我的官太小，推不动呀。” 李雪莲：“你推不动，谁能推得动？” 老贾故意想了想：“我给你说一个人，你不能说是我说的。” 李雪莲不解：“打官司，又不是偷东西，咋还背着人呀？” 老贾：“这人管的难缠的案子太多，再给他推，他会急呀。” 李雪莲：“谁？” 老贾：“我们法院的董专委，董宪法。” 李雪莲不解：“'专委'是干嘛的？” 老贾：“如果是医院，就是专家，专门医治疑难杂症。” 老贾说的错不错？不错；因为从理论上讲，董宪法是审判委员会的专职委员，审判委员会，就是专门研究重大疑难案件的；从职务上讲，专委又比庭长大，也算老贾的上级；但只有法院的人知道，这个专委只是一个摆设，这个上级还不如下级。李雪莲信了老贾的话，第二天中午十二点半，便在县法院门口，找到了正在踱步的法院专委董宪法。董宪法今天踱步，也踱了一个多小时了。李雪莲不知董宪法的深浅，只知道他是法院的专委，专门处理重大疑难案件；董宪法也不知道李雪莲是谁。正因为相互不知道，李雪莲对董宪法很恭敬。看董宪法在那里东张西望，也不敢上前打扰。看他望了半个小时，也没望出什么，才上前一步说：“你是董专委吧？” 猛地被人打扰，董宪法吃了一惊。看看表，已经下午一点了，想来今天中午蹭不上别人的酒席了，才转过身问：“你谁呀？” 李雪莲：“我叫李雪莲。” 董宪法想了半天，想不起这个李雪莲是谁，打了个哈欠：“你啥事吧？” 李雪莲：“你们把我的案子判错了。” 董宪法脑子有些懵，一时想不起这是桩啥案子，这案子自己是否掺乎过；就算掺乎过的案子，在他脑子里也稀里糊涂；正因为稀里糊涂，他断不定这案子自己是否掺乎过；便问：“法院的案子多了，你说的到底是哪一桩呀？” 李雪莲便将自己的案子从头说起。刚说到一半，董宪法就烦了；因为他压根没听说过这案子；何况李雪莲和秦玉河离婚结婚再离婚的过去和将来也太复杂；正因为复杂，董宪法断定自己没掺乎过；正因为复杂，董宪法听不下去了；哪怕你说贩牲口呢，都比说这些有意思。董宪法不耐烦地打断李雪莲：“这案子，跟我没关系呀。” 李雪莲：“跟你没关系，跟王公道有关系。” 董宪法：“跟王公道有关系，你该找王公道呀，咋找上我了？” 李雪莲：“你比他官大，他把案子判错了，就该找你。” 董宪法：“法院比王公道官大的多了，为啥不找别人？” 李雪莲：“法院的人说，你专管疑难案子。” 董宪法这时明白，法院有人在背后给他挖坑，不该他管的事，推到了他身上；别人不想管的难题，推到了他头上；便恼怒地说：“这是哪个王八蛋干的？个个藏着坏心眼，还在法院工作，案子能不判错吗？” 对李雪莲说：“谁让你找的我，你就去找谁。” 又说：“不但你找他，回头我也找他。” 说完，转身就走。因为董宪法的肚子饿了；既然等不到别人的酒席，便想自个儿找个街摊，喝上二两散酒，吃碗羊肉烩面了事。但李雪莲一把拉住他：“董专委，你不能走，这事你必须管。” 董宪法哭笑不得：“你倒缠上我了？法院那么多人，凭啥这事儿非得我管？” 李雪莲：“我给你做工作了。” 董宪法一愣：“你给我做啥工作了？” 李雪莲：“上午我去了你家，给你家背了一包袱棉花，拎了两只老母鸡。” 董宪法家住董家庄，离县城五里路。董宪法更是哭笑不得：“一包袱棉花，两只老母鸡，就把我拴住了？快去把你的棉花和老母鸡拎走。” 甩手又要走，又被李雪莲一把拉住：“你老婆当时答应我了，说你管这事儿。” 董宪法：“她一个喂猪娘们，她只懂猪，哪里懂法律？” 李雪莲：“照你这么说，我工作不是白做了？” 董宪法指李雪莲：“你工作没白做，你这叫行贿，懂不懂？我没追究你，你倒缠上我了。” 又要走，又被李雪莲拉住。这时围上来许多人看热闹。董宪法本来就憋了一肚子气，见人围观，脸上便挂不住：“刁民，大街上，拉拉扯扯，成什么样子？滚！” 用力甩开李雪莲，走了。 待到晚上，董宪法从县城骑车回到董家庄。还没进家门，就闻到鸡香。待到家，原来老丈人来了，老婆炖了一锅鸡。本来董宪法已经忘了李雪莲的事，这时又想了起来。进厨房揭开锅盖，两只鸡大卸八块，已经炖熟了。董宪法不由骂老婆：“见小的毛病，啥时候能抽空改改？” 又骂：“你知道你在干啥？你这叫贪赃枉法。” 但第二天早起，董宪法就把这事给忘了。 李雪莲见到法院院长荀正义，是在“松鹤大酒店”门前。荀正义喝大了，被人从楼上架了下来。荀正义今年三十八岁，法院院长已经当了三年。与周边几个县份的法院院长比，荀正义算是最年轻的。正因为年轻，还有远大的前程，做事便有些谨慎。荀正义平日不喝酒。为了工作，他给自己规定了五条禁令：一个人不喝酒，工作时不喝酒，在法院系统不喝酒，在本县不喝酒，周一至周五不喝酒；虽然禁令之间相互重叠和啰嗦，但总结起来一句话：无缘无故不喝酒。 但今天荀正义喝大了。今天是在本县，是在法院系统，是周三，与禁令都有些冲突；但不是无缘无故，而是有缘有故：因为今天是前任院长老曹的生日。老曹三年前退下来，把院长的位置让给了荀正义。老曹对荀正义有提携和栽培之恩。老领导的生日，又是退下来的老领导，荀正义便陪老领导喝酒；老领导喝大了，荀正义也喝大了。关于老领导老曹的栽培之恩，荀正义其实有一肚子苦水。三年前，老曹该退了，当时法院有四个副院长；在这之前，老曹培养的接班人不是荀正义，而是另一个副院长老葛。老曹一辈子除了爱断案，还爱喝酒；除了爱喝酒，还爱打桥牌；老葛也爱打桥牌。牌卓上最能考验一个人的品行。老曹深知老葛之后，便把老葛作为接班人来培养；老曹深知老葛，把位置交给老葛也放心。谁知在老曹退位的头一个月，老葛与同学吃晚饭，喝酒喝醉了；酒后驾车，上了马路，走的却是逆行；老葛喝醉了，车速开得又高，吓得对面的车纷纷避让；老葛反骂：“还有没有规矩了？怎么逆着就上来了？可见法制不健全，明天都判了你们！” 骂着，对面一辆十四轮的运煤车躲闪不及，迎头撞来，将老葛的车又撞回顺行道上。车回到了顺行道上，人当场死亡。老葛的死，给荀正义提供了机会。老曹下台时，接老曹班的就不是老葛，而成了荀正义。荀正义能接老曹的班，应该感谢的不是老曹，而是那辆运煤车；也不是那辆运煤车，而是老葛喝的那顿酒，与老葛喝酒的老葛的同学们。荀正义这么认为，老曹却不这么认为；老曹认为，他亲手把院长的位置交到谁手里，谁就是他培养的；荀正义从他手里接的院长，就该报他的恩。老曹这么认为，荀正义也只好顺水推舟，院长当上之后，见了老曹总说：“我何德何能，不是老领导的培养，我哪里能坐上这个位置？” 老曹也就信以为真，开始把荀正义当成自己人。但老曹也有分寸，退下来后，法院的工作，不再插手；只是生活上遇到问题，给荀正义打招呼。正因为工作上不插手，只是生活上提要求，荀正义觉得老曹是个明白人；而生活上的要求，花俩钱就能消灾；三年下来，荀正义一直把老曹当老领导供着。每年老曹生日那天，荀正义便请老曹吃晚饭。酒宴上，开头一句话总是
