Chapter 20 Chapter 19 Huan

Master Li asked for leave to go out to do errands, and what he was doing was still Junjun's college affairs. He walked out of the No. 3 courtyard and walked towards the entrance of the alley. After leaving the alley, he turned right and arrived at the non-staple food store where he bought dried noodles.On the side of the road in front of the non-staple food store, he got into a black car waiting there. There was already someone sitting in the car, which was the woman who spoke to him at the entrance of the alley a few days ago.Master Li got into the car and called the woman, Sister Sun, even though the woman looked only in her early thirties.

The black car started immediately and merged into the traffic without making a sound.The traffic flow in the city is endless, and there is nothing unusual happening today. The place where the black car took them was an ordinary street, and there was an ordinary building on this ordinary street.This building is crowded with countless companies and trading houses that are dying, and most of the men and women who enter and exit these companies and trading houses are lazy.The woman known as Sister Sun led Master Li straight up to the third floor, found an office and opened the door, so fast that she didn't even see the sign beside the door.When Master Li entered the door, he listened to Sister Sun's chatter with the manager in the room, and then he roughly understood that this is also a company, specializing in consulting and intermediary businesses.

After Sister Sun introduced the two parties, she sat down and talked about things.The person in charge of this company is called Manager Wu, and he asked the situation straight to the point: "Your daughter is called Li Junjun, and her first choice is China University of Commerce and Business? Well, this school is good, and it is a national key. Your parents mean that they want her to go to the university. Is this school the right one? What major did you apply for? Business English, well, this major is good, and you can easily find a job after graduation. However, there are too many candidates applying to this university this year, and this major you applied for is a popular major, so unless Your daughter's score has an absolute advantage, otherwise it will not be easy to get in. If you insist on going to this school and this major, the fees will probably be higher, you should consider this for yourself."

At the mention of money, Master Li instinctively became timid, and his voice became hesitant: "Yes, how much does it cost?" "We won't ask for more. You see, we need to give money to the school, which is in the form of sponsorship; we also need to give money to some teachers who are in charge, which is given privately. The total is only 30,000 to 40,000, at least 30,000. Any lower and you won’t be able to grasp it.” Master Li's expression froze, and Sister Sun took the words, her voice was cold but decisive: "How much will you pay first?" Manager Wu probably didn't expect Sister Sun to be so happy, but he hesitated for a moment: "Let's pay 15,000 first, and the rest depends on the situation..."

Sister Sun immediately took out 20,000 yuan from her handbag and tied it up.One bundle was placed on the table with a bang, and the other bundle was unsealed, five thousand were counted out with a bang, and it was also put on the table with a bang, the movements were quick and nimble, and even a little vicious.Don't say that it is rare to see Master Li who has so much money, even the manager Wu who seems to be well-versed in the world is stunned. When the two of them walked out of the building, Master Li hadn't woken up from the dream. The half-heavy stack of banknotes weighed down him like a nightmare and he couldn't breathe heavily.Before getting into the car, he murmured to Sister Sun and said: "If our young lady is really admitted to the University of Commerce and Business, and really learns the major she likes, I guarantee that she will be very successful. When she earns money, we will definitely repay Cai. Miss Sun's kindness will definitely not forget Sister Sun, and you will not forget your concern for her."

Sister Sun remained expressionless, and replied rigidly: "Do you really remember Miss Cai's concern?" Master Li didn't know what Sister Sun was going to say next, he opened his mouth for a long time, but he didn't dare to answer. The black car took Master Li back to Renli Hutong, let him down at the entrance of the alley, and then drove away. Before Master Li had finished expressing his farewell and thanks, the car had merged into the main road without a trace. The first person Master Li saw after returning to No. 3 courtyard was Jin Kui, who was boiling water in a large iron bucket in the kitchen.As soon as Master Li entered the door, Jin Kui asked first: "How is Junjun's business? Did you ask about the situation?" Of course, Master Li would not talk about Sister Sun and the fifteen thousand yuan, so he hurriedly said: "I didn't ask." Whatever happens, leave it to fate." He didn't want to let this topic continue, so he turned around and asked Jin Kui: "What's the use of burning such a big bucket of water?

Jin Kui said: "Gao Chun wants to take a bath, but the water heater in the big bathroom is broken." "Master Li said: "Then let him wash in the front yard or the mountain house. There are four bathrooms with bathtubs in this yard, all of which can take a bath." Jin Kui said, "He wants to go to bed directly after soaking, so he can only wash in He soaks in his own bathroom, the water will boil immediately, and then add some cold water, and this bucket will be enough." Master Li said: "Hey, it's so troublesome to boil water like this, and I have to carry it over, let him go there Come and wash, I'll tell him."

Master Li still unconsciously regards himself as a high-purity master. The so-called teacher and student are parents for life. He still feels that Gao Chun will definitely listen to what he says.He volunteered to open the door to go to the backyard, but was stopped by Jin Kui behind him. Jin Kui said, "Master Li, the water is boiling!" Master Li was stunned at the door.Jin Kui turned off the fire and said, "Can you lift it for me?" The two carried a large iron bucket of boiling hot water to the backyard. When they stopped on the way, Master Li continued the topic of the morning. He said, Jin Kui, you are really nice, and I really admire you. No matter what, you are also the eldest lady of a rich family, the pillar of our Yunlang Song and Dance Troupe, and an artist. It is really not easy for you to do this kind of work of serving people so wholeheartedly.Zhou Xin only gave you 900 yuan, which is too unreasonable. I will raise it with Gaochun later, and I will give you at least 1,000 yuan.In any case, Gao Chun has had a good time with you, and he will not refuse to give you some extra money.

Master Li bent down to lift the bucket, but Jin Kui didn't reach out.She expressed her attitude from the morning again: "Master Li, I said that I didn't come here to make money." Master Li straightened up again, looking at Jin Kui's serious expression, he had some regrets on his face, and he responded quite understandingly: "I know, I know you have always had feelings for Gao Chun, you want to help He. I think you can come here to serve him, he should understand in his heart. If he understands, he should give you more money. I understand Gao Chun, he is the most benevolent and empathetic. "

Before Master Li finished speaking, Jin Kui had already picked up the bucket by himself and walked into the bathroom with difficulty.Master Li was stunned for a moment behind her, and called out: "Hey, let me wash him." Jin Kui said, "No need, I'll do it myself." Master Li followed up in the bathroom. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he continued to speak endlessly. Although his tone was tactful, his meaning was quite direct. "Let me wash it, Gao Chun... After all, he is someone else's husband." Jin Kui understood this sentence, she stopped, put down the bucket brought to the pool, lowered her head and thought for a moment, and said to Master Li: "Okay, then I will trouble you."

Gao Chun was pushed out of the bedroom by Master Li and Jin Kui, and pushed to the bathroom, where the big bathtub was already filled with hot water of just the right temperature.After pushing Gao Chun into the bathroom, Jin Kui withdrew.She waited in the corridor outside the bathroom, thinking that Gao Chun might need her, and Master Li might ask her to go in and help.Not long after, Master Li came out and said to her: "It's finished washing, let's push him back." Jin Kui followed up strangely, and asked Master Li repeatedly: "It's finished washing so quickly, is it clean? ?” Jin Kui saw that the water in the bathtub was being drained slowly, and Gao Chun was sitting on the wheelchair in neat clothes and pants, with a wet towel and face soap on the washbasin beside him.Jin Kui asked Gao Chun: "It's finished washing so soon, is it clean?" Before Gao Chun could answer, Master Li came over and explained: "He said he didn't want to wash it anymore, so I don't want to wash it, at least I have to wash it. face. I helped him wash his face, but he didn't want to use soap. I said that it wouldn't be clean without soap.Cough, he is like a child now, thinking of one thing and another, childish temper! " Gao Chun let Master Li's nagging, and asked Master Li and Jin Kui to push back to the bedroom without saying a word. Master Li asked him: "Do you want to go to bed?" Gao Chun shook his head: "No." Master Li asked again: "Do you want to drink water?" Gao Chun shook his head: "No." Master Li asked again: "Then what do you want? What are you doing? Gao Chun said, "I want to be alone for a while." " Master Li nodded: "Okay, then you stay for a while. He greeted Jin Kui: "Hey, let's go then, let him rest alone for a while, let's go." " Master Li is Gao Chun's master and was also Gao Chun's boss, so it was only natural for him to give orders to Jin Kui.Jin Kui followed him to the door of the bedroom, but Gao Chun called her to stop behind her back. "Jin Kui, you stay here." Master Li immediately instructed Jin Kui again: "You stay here, I'll go to the front first. If you need anything, go to the front and find me." Master Li left, and the room finally became quiet.Jin Kui asked Gao Chun: "Didn't you say you wanted to take a bath, why didn't you take a bath again?" Gao Chun frowned: "I don't want Master Li to undress me, how awkward." Jin Kui wanted to laugh, but pretended to be puzzled, and asked solemnly: "Then why is that awkward, Master Li is not a woman." Gao Chun muttered depressingly: "I'm not used to it." So I won't say more.Jin Kui comforted him and said, "I'm going to buy a new water heater. I'll buy it now, it will be ready to use at night, and I'll soak it at night, okay?" Gao Chun looked up at her, and a smile appeared in his eyes. That afternoon, Jin Kui bought a water heater that could be bought and installed in a shopping mall not far from No. 3 Courtyard.And after the payment, I really took the master worker home immediately and installed it in the high-purity bathroom.She didn't forget to put the passbook and Gao Chun's ID card back in the cabinet in time, and then returned the key to the drawer to Gao Chun in time.Gao Chun said: "Let's put the key on your body. It is convenient to put it on your body for frequent withdrawals and frequent use."Jin Kui said: You should keep it. Whoever is in charge of the house gets the key. This is the rule in ancient times.Gao Chun said: Women are usually in charge of the house, so take it.Jin Kui said: The woman in this family is not me.Gao Chun stared at her for a long time before saying: In this family, you are the only woman now.Jin Kui stopped talking, she kept the key in her palm, which was soaked with hot sweat. At night, in the dead of night, Gao Chun's bathtub was refilled with hot water.Carrying Gao Chun into the bathtub alone was both strenuous and joyful. Sweat and smiles bloomed on her face together. Jin Kui finally saw her own strength, and finally found the basis of happiness and the illusion of life. Gao Chun lay relaxed in the bathtub with warm water wrapping his skin, soothing his body and mind.Jin Kui's slender fingers slowly brushed his hair, and the foam of the hair lotion shone with colorful luster in the ironing of the marble chandelier.The steam in the bathroom made the lights illusory, and the conversation between the two echoed like an empty valley.They talked about dancing again. For them now, dancing is a bit like the water vapor under the lamp, ethereal, far away and yet near. Jin Kui said: Your body proportions are really good, and you are born to dance.Jin Kui may not have thought that any topic about dance would be an irritation to Gao Chun at this time. Fortunately, Gao Chun responded calmly. He asked Jin Kui: How long have you not practiced?Jin Kui said: I haven't practiced for a long time, I almost lost it.Gao Chun said: You should continue practicing.You should recover your gong, or you should go to the Kaobei Dance Academy.North Dance Academy... Don't you want to take the exam?Jin Kui said: I am going to be admitted to the North Dance Academy, who will take care of you here.Gao Chun said: Zhou Xin can take care of me.Jin Kui said: Zhou Xin?Isn't Zhou Xin always on business trips abroad? She has her career.Gao Chun said: But you should also have your career. You should have an explanation for your parents and yourself. You can't take care of me here for the rest of your life.Jin Kui said: "Why not, you don't want me to take care of you?"Gao Chun stopped for a long time, and said: I just want you to find your past ideals, find the goal you have been looking for, then I will feel better.Jin Kui slowly poured warm water down Gao Chun's hair, and she said: I have found what I was looking for. This is the happiness between the two, and happiness is the words that each other longs to hear.The sound of running water also became cheerful, replacing thousands of words of communication.It wasn't until Gao Chun was dried off, put on soft pajamas and lay on the bed, Jin Kui covered him with the quilt, closed the curtains, and said goodbye to leave, that his expression became gloomy again. "Are you leaving?" he asked. "Yeah, it's getting late, you should go to bed." "Can't you sleep here?" He pointed to an Arhat bed by the wall: "Can't you sleep there?" "I can't." "Zhou Xin is not here." "I'm here and you keep talking, you should have a good rest." "Can't I promise not to talk? You can sleep here. I can't sleep without you here, really." Jin Kui hesitated, and asked Gao Chun, as if asking himself: "Is this not good?" "I'm a patient, and I can't move easily. There are many girls in the hospital who take care of patients, and they all sleep in the ward." Jin Kui hesitated repeatedly, and finally said, "Then I'll bring the bedding." Gao Chun laughed like a child: "Okay! Go and get it!" Jin Kui went back to the hut to move her quilt. It was already late at night, but she changed into a new outfit with great interest. It was the one she wore most often when she was with Gao Chun, and it was also Gao Chun's favorite one.When changing clothes, she changed the things in her pockets into pockets, and the key to the large huanghuali cabinet accidentally fell out. Jin Kui picked it up and looked at it under the lamp, as if the key was a spiritual treasure that could open all the bonds of love. Door.She carefully packed the keys in her key ring, and this one was the most conspicuous among a bunch of keys from the kitchen and warehouse with the main door and the second door. Jinkui's bedding and pillows were moved from the hut to the big room, and spread on the Arhat bed on the east side of the big room.Gao Chun looked at her strangely, and asked: Why did you put on this dress? Do you still have to go out so late?Jin Kui said: Why go out, I can wear whatever I want, don’t you like this outfit the most, don’t you like it now?Gao Chun said: I like it, of course I like it. When I dream about you, you usually wear this suit.Jin Kui took off her clothes with a smile, and said, "Unfortunately, it's time to go to bed. I'll wear them for you tomorrow." They both knew that no one could fall asleep, but they still lay down in their respective beds.After a year apart, they were finally lying under the same roof again, on two beds a few meters away, looking at each other and hearing each other's breath.All the lights were extinguished, but the two people could see each other clearly with the glint in their pupils.Gao Chun was in tears, and his sobbing in the dark pulled Jin Kui back to his bedside, "What's wrong with you?" She didn't turn on the light, she was afraid that the light would make Gao Chun uneasy.She saw the tears on Gao Chun's face, already wet her thin cheeks. "what happened to you?" "I, I can't let you be like this..." Gao Chun confides intermittently, "You, you should go to dance, take the exam...go to your career, and then, then, find a good man to marry! I shouldn't let You stay here and guard me, a useless person, I, I can't give you anything, I can't give you!" Jin Kui wiped Gao Chun's tears with her hands, and she said: "I don't want your things, I just want to guard you. Exams and dancing are not my ideals anymore. My ideals are that you can cure diseases and Stand up and follow me and we'll get out of here together." Gao Chun stopped crying, and he asked, "Leave here, where are you going?" "We can go back to Yunlang! During the day we will go to Yunlang Art School to be teachers, and at night we will live in the small attic where we lived. Although we are not old, I don't know why. I really want to return to my roots now. Go back to Yunlang's hometown." "Miss your parents?" "I want to go back with you! I still remember that outside your small attic, there is a big roof, on which we can dance casually! It's bigger than the garage we live in, and 'Ice and Fire Love' can dance Gotta go!" "Let's go back together, to be art school teachers, to live in that small attic, and dance on it. Is this your ideal now?" "Yes, this is my current ideal, the simplest ideal." "The simplest ideal is also the ideal that cannot be realized." "Why can't it be realized? I heard from Lao Fang that he knows a Chinese medicine doctor who specializes in treating paralysis of the lower limbs. I will go to him later. I believe that one day you will be able to stand up, and one day you will be able to walk out of here on your own." Gao Chun didn't cry anymore, he even smiled, but he shook his head: "I have no fantasies since I was injured and sick, but you still live by fantasies." But Jin Kui said more and more seriously: "If I don't have any fantasies now, life will be too boring. I must have fantasies, fantasies that you can stand up, and fantasies that you can dance with me. " "Dance……" Perhaps people suffering from injuries need fantasy more, fantasy can make people forget reality in an instant, maybe Gao Chun's brain is also full of the blue sky of Yunlang and the friendly streets under the blue sky, as well as the dilapidated and empty buildings of Yunlang Art School. The rehearsal hall...his feet seemed to suddenly become stronger, and he seemed to see his own spinning figure in the big mirror of the rehearsal hall. Jin Kui seemed to feel Gao Chun's illusion, because she found that Gao Chun's foot suddenly kicked the quilt, and she wanted to feel that magical tremor again through the quilt, and at the same time she couldn't help crying out: "Hey, your foot moved! You kicked your foot just now! Didn't you? Try moving it again, hard! Kick it again!" Gao Chun also seemed to feel the moment just now, he nervously tried to give instructions to his legs again, but his legs didn't move this time.He said: "No, I can't move..." Jin Kui also felt carefully with his hands, with expectations and doubts alternately on his face. "You moved just now, really! You really moved just now, I felt it." "No……" "Just now!" "Can't move." "You obviously moved just now. As soon as I mentioned dancing, as soon as I mentioned dancing with you, you moved! You are a natural dancer, from the inside to the outside, I have already said it!" "Did I really move?" Gao Chunxin moved, and his eyes lit up. In the morning, after breakfast, the sun was shining and the sky was clear. Jin Kui pushed Gao Chun to the bedroom window, and retreated to the closet next door to rustle, making Gao Chun poke his head: "Hey, what are you doing?" Gao Chun's eyes lit up when Jin Kui came back again , the Jinkui he saw was already wearing a dress, the white gauze skirt was floating in the air, and the sound from the disk sounded in the air.It was that long-lost piece of music, the song "Love of Ice and Fire", that made Gao Chun's eyes moist.He saw the white skirt dancing lightly, with a rhythm like water and wind. They have danced these moves countless times. They once wanted to use this dance examination group to take part in the competition. This dance has been integrated into their blood and bone marrow, maybe Only it can evoke high-purity physical induction.Sure enough, Jin Kui saw that Gao Chun's feet hanging on the wheelchair moved faintly with the rhythm of the music. Her tears couldn't help but flow down. The smile is as bright as a flower!Their bodies and minds are integrated into the dance, every note and every rhythm is endless, and the dancers are not alone, and their high-purity thoughts are also with them.Sitting in a wheelchair, he straightened his body, every cell swayed and danced according to his thoughts.The unrequited dance of the two was interrupted by a sudden phone call, Jin Kui stopped, Gao Chun's feet did not move, they were all out of breath, looking at the phone on the bedside table in shock, the phone's ringing was deafening! Jin Kui went to pick up the handset, and the call was from Zhou Xin. From Gao Chun's conversation on the phone, it could be heard that it was just a cold call... It was also late at night in Europe, and Zhou Xin was on the phone. The voice seemed to still carry the sleepiness unique to the middle of the night. "Oh, Zhou Xin, I... I didn't do anything, I just finished breakfast, I'm not out of breath..." The dream of letting Gao Chun return to the stage was quickly turned into a plan. This plan seemed like an impossible task, but this task became Jin Kui's biggest goal in life. And it will be implemented in the afternoon of this day. This task is like a long march. The first step in the long march is to find the clinic recommended by Fangyuan. There is an old Chinese doctor who specializes in treating paralysis in the clinic. .From the tone of the old Chinese doctor, Gao Chun's illness can still be cured, all he needs is patience, perseverance, and a cheerful mood. With these three things, it is not difficult to stand up again.Jin Kui repeated it: patience, perseverance, and a cheerful mood... She nodded with confidence and said: Well, I remember! Because of these three, none of them is difficult. But the old Chinese doctor said: Patience means you can’t expect to get better in a year or two; perseverance means walking and rebuilding your muscles; being cheerful means that only when your mental state is restored can you regain your nerve perception.In other words, the recovery of the nervous system depends on the optimism of the mood. But in any case, from that day on, the plan to let Gao Chun walk again, even if there is a specific implementation route.With Jin Kui's support, Gao Chun began to touch the ground with both feet. This was the first time his body was at a vertical angle to the ground after being laid flat for half a year.The weak "boneless" legs and feet can't bear the weight of the whole body, and Gao Chun's whole body actually weighs heavily on Jin Kui's shoulders.Jin Kui's head was covered with sweat, even carrying and hugging, supporting Gao Chun's feet to feel the earth. In the bedroom, in the courtyard, and in the garden, she used her own flesh and blood as a pillar to restore Gao Chun's consciousness of standing, use her consciousness to concentrate strength, and use her consciousness to find balance.Her verbal encouragement must be as strong as her physical support, and she must keep telling Gao Chun: You have stood up! You stand well!Very good, don't look down, look forward!The waist is straight!it is good!very good! She will continue to encourage Gao Chun: It seems that your skills are really good. You see, you have been lying down for so long, and your back is still straight when you stand up. Undefeated golden body! Jin Kui's words always turned the pain on Gao Chun's face into a smile. Every morning and evening, she boiled the Chinese medicine prescribed by the old Chinese medicine doctor for him on time, and she even had a fight with Master Li because of the Chinese medicine pot.That morning she used the casserole that Master Li had boiled the medicine in. When she used it again in the afternoon, she found that Master Li had poured out the medicine in the casserole.Master Li said, haven't you finished the medicine, why don't you keep it after you finish it?Jin Kui said that the doctor said that this medicine has to be taken twice, once in the morning and once at night, isn't your lover's medicine also taken twice in one dose?Master Li said: Taking the medicine twice does not mean that you have to boil it twice, you just boil it once and divide it into two portions.Jinkui was a little anxious and angry when he ran out of medicine, so he couldn't say enough: the doctor made me boil it twice!Why don't you ask me if you want to dump it!As an elder, as a master, Master Li felt ashamed when Jin Kui's tone was high, and what was wrong with him?He said: You don't know how to boil medicine, why don't you ask me, what embarrassment is it for you to ask me!When Gao Chun used to learn how to drive with me, he would ask if he didn’t understand, and if he didn’t understand, he would just ask... Jin Kui had long been disgusted with Master Li’s display of qualifications, and immediately hurled insults at him: Don’t just put on airs as a master, okay, you are Gao Chun's master is not my master, now that the medicine is gone, what do you think Gao Chun will drink at night!Of course, Master Li also became angry: it is your responsibility that the medicine is gone, not mine!I really can't see you young people, who used to be good, but once you get rich, you change your face, and it's not that you are rich, it's because someone else is rich, and Gao Chun himself doesn't have such a temper like you, and he doesn't dare to play with me . While speaking, Master Li took the medicine pot on the table, poured in his wife's traditional Chinese medicine, mixed it with water and set it on fire to cook.Jin Kui was furious, and when Master Li turned around, he picked up the medicine pot on the fire and splashed the water and medicine in the pool with a splash, which made Master Li stare with eyes at a loss what to do.He watched as Jinkui unpacked another pack of high-purity Chinese medicine and poured it into the pot, filled it with water and put it on the fire, then kept his back to him and guarded the stove for half a step.He glared at each other, roaring with anger, but Jin Kui never looked back.Master Li slammed the door and left, but Jin Kui still didn't look back. When feeding Gao Chun medicine before dinner, Gao Chun saw that Jin Kui was in a bad mood and asked her why she was upset.Jin Kui concealed it and said no, she was not unhappy.Gao Chun said that you have been making medicine and cooking these days, and you have to help me practice walking. You are too tired.Jin Kui said she wasn't tired.Gao Chun said that you can ask Master Li to cook the medicine for you. Anyway, he wants to cook the medicine for my teacher's wife, so it doesn't take much effort to cook it together.As soon as Master Li was mentioned, Jin Kui immediately fell silent, and then listened to Gao Chun say good things about Master Li for a long time: Master Li is really not easy. He has taken care of my teacher and mother for so many years, and he never hates it.The day before yesterday I saw that Jiangsu Satellite TV had a selection of real people who moved China. Among them was a man who took care of his sick wife for many years.I took a look, isn't this similar to Master Li?In the past, I didn't think much of it, but now that I have become a patient myself, I realized that my wife is really blessed to have a husband like my master. Jin Kui said awkwardly, a little jealous: "Do you think you are unlucky?" "That's not true." "Do you think you are not as blessed as your teacher's wife?" "No," Gao Chun looked at Jin Kui's expression, "Are you really upset?" Gao Chun's nervousness made Jin Kui see his innocence and kindness, and she immediately felt sorry for him: "No, I'm afraid I'm not good enough for you, and you think I'm not as good as Master Li." Gao Chun said: "No." Then he said: "Actually, I really want to fall over. You are sick in bed, and I will take care of you. I must be better than Master Li and you!" Only then did Jin Kui smile and said, "I thought you were kind just now, but I didn't expect you to expect me to be like you. It's too unkind of you." Gao Chun is still serious: "I want to take care of you, I want to cook for you, I want to make medicine for you..." Jin Kui was so moved, with tears in her eyes, but a sweet heart, she said, "Okay...Of course I know." Perhaps Gao Chun's love radiated Jin Kui's kindness, and half an hour later she took the initiative to reach a settlement with Master Li.After returning to the kitchen in the front yard, she cleaned the casserole and helped Master Li boil his wife's medicine.Then he knocked on the door of Master Li's room and brought in the boiled medicine. Before Master Li's embarrassment and embarrassment could be seen on his face, he said sorry and begged for peace. "Master Li, I have prepared the medicine for my mother. I was wrong just now, so don't be angry. I'm young and ignorant. Don't be as knowledgeable as me." Master Li didn't know whether it was because of his anger or because of his face, he still had a sullen expression on his face, and said through his nose: "I'm not angry, I came here for Gao Chun, and I don't want to be angry with anyone. " Jun Jun looked at his father's face, then at Jin Kui who was rather embarrassed, and didn't dare to speak out for a moment. Instead, Master Li's wife was sitting by the bed looking for shoes with her feet, and at the same time received Jin Kui's "Letter of Surrender" in her mouth. . "Oh, who is angry with whom we have been in love for so long. Why are you still making medicine for me when you are so tired every day? Junjun, give up your seat to Jinkui..." Junjun immediately took the stool: "Ah, Miss Jinkui, sit down..." Only then was Jin Kui allowed to enter the room, the door was closed, and the light on the window became warmer, setting off the reconciling laughter of both the host and the guest. Three meals a day, taking medicine in the morning and evening, standing and walking irregularly, from being supported by Jin Kui to being independent, from being crumbling to being able to move every inch, Gao Chun was taken care of by Jin Kui meticulously, and his body's recovery was also fruitful.In addition to taking Gao Chun to the original Guangming Hospital for routine treatment on time, Jin Kui often took him to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic for follow-up visits.Together with Master Li, she built a shelf like parallel bars in the garden, and asked Gao Chun to practice walking in the shelf.People who have practiced dancing are persevering and resilient, and they are not afraid of straining their muscles, tearing their bones, and sweating. In just one or two months, Gao Chun's already slender legs became obviously thicker again.Of course, being strong is not the recovery of muscles, but congestion and swelling.Every night, Jin Kui would apply a hot towel to him and massage his legs and feet for two or three hours. Only after Gao Chun said that his legs were no longer hurting could he move again.Every night before the lights are turned off, Jin Kui sums up the advantages and disadvantages of the day's exercise, and points out Gao Chun's small progress, such as taking three steps more than the previous day, and one step walked 18 centimeters, breaking the record. The movements are not stiff anymore, I am not in a hurry today, and I am in a particularly good mood... etc., I will point it out one by one, and accumulate high-purity confidence. At night, Jin Kui slept on the arhat bed by the wall. Gao Chun said that the arhat bed was made of huanghuali wood, and it was a collection of his father, which was much more valuable than the big bed he slept on.As for how much it was worth, he didn't know exactly. He also heard what Zhou Xin said, and Zhou Xin also heard what the lawyer and Lao Suan said.However, the word huanghuali has long been heard, and it is indeed a precious thing in my impression. At least the lawyer is definitely not talking nonsense. So Jin Kui said, "Since it's so valuable, why doesn't she let you sleep in this bed?" Gao Chun said, "Who?" Jin Kui said, "Zhou Xin, your wife." Gao Chun said: "This bed is my dad's collection, and it's worth the money. Sleeping on it may not be comfortable." Jin Kui said, "It's very comfortable, why don't you try it?" Gao Chun said: "Go to sleep, you sleep on a valuable bed, you are more precious than me." Jin Kui said: "I am your little nanny, what is precious about me?" Gao Chun was silent for a while, then said, "Go to sleep." Jin Kui said: "Why don't you let me tell you, am I wrong?" Gao Chun was silent for a while, and said, "You are more precious than me, and I am a cripple." This sentence made Jin Kui feel guilty, she admitted that she had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly got out of bed to comfort her.She turned on Gao Chun's bedside lamp, first lay on the bedside to see his face, and then asked, "Aren't you angry?" Before Gao Chun could answer, the phone under the lamp suddenly rang, and both of them were startled again.Jin Kui subconsciously picked up the phone and said "Hello", a woman's voice came from the phone. "Hey, who are you?" Jin Kui recognized it, it was Zhou Xin again.Her eyes immediately became tense, and the microphone felt like it was hot, and she immediately handed it to Gao Chun.Gao Chun answered the phone, his voice was equally tense. "Hey……" "Gao Chun, you haven't slept yet?" Zhou Xin on the phone was somewhat suspicious: "What time is it in Beijing now, why haven't you slept yet?" "Ah... I fell asleep," Gao Chun stuttered, "I, I fell asleep." "Sleeping?" Zhou Xin asked, "Then who answered the phone just now, was it Jin Kui? Why is she still in your room?" "Ah, no," Gao Chun instinctively wanted to hide it first, but immediately admitted again: "I, I'm thirsty, I asked her to come and pour me water." "Did she not pour water for you when she left? She is taking care of you now, do you think it's okay? Any questions? " "Ah, it's fine, there's no problem, it's fine." "Call me if you have any questions, and I'll tell her. Ah, I'm fine, I just miss you, call and ask." "Oh," Gao Chunfeng didn't know how to respond. He was not used to talking about intimacy and longing for Zhou Xin, "You... you are there, are you okay?" "I'm fine. It's fine. We've arrived in Austria. Austria is very beautiful. If I have a chance in the future, I'll take you here to see it. Now there are tourists from China. Go to sleep. The golden sunflower is still there." Is it? Tell her to listen to the phone." "Ah, yes." Gao Chun transferred the call to Jin Kui, his eyes were equally disturbed as Jin Kui's.Zhou Xin instructed Jin Kui for a long time on the phone, and the instructions implied criticism.She reminded her to prepare enough water before going to bed at night, and asked her to urge Gao Chun to go to bed early. Gao Chun is very weak, so he must ensure enough sleep.Taking care of patients is a meticulous matter, so the sense of responsibility must be strong.What Zhou Xin said about Jin Kui and how should Jin Kui respond, Zhou Xin asked Jin Kui to ask Gao Chun if there was anything else, Gao Chun said it was fine, and Zhou Xin hung up the phone. The room fell silent again, and the lights seemed much dimmed.Jin Kui and Gao Chun looked at each other, unable to regain the mood just now. According to the suggestion of Chinese medicine, Jin Kui ordered a pair of crutches for Gao Chun.Although Gao Chun is still inseparable from a wheelchair most of the time, the custom-made crutches are still a milestone turning point, because it marks that Gao Chun can finally stand on his own, which proves that Gao Chun's redundant and cumbersome legs are now It was his again.Those legs regained their senses and became the support of a flesh and blood torso again! If the fact that the legs turned into legs can be counted from the day when Gao Chun got crutches, then on the third day when he stood up alone, in his own bedroom, he could already completely With my own strength, I "walked" forward ten centimeters. The effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment greatly encouraged Jin Kui and Gao Chun, making them more determined to take medicine and massage every day as required, and to practice walking step by step.At the same time, the treatment of Western medicine at Guangming Hospital once a week cannot be interrupted.Western medicine also expressed cautious optimism about the recovery of Gao Chun's body and various organs, but reminded Jin Kui individually that the patient's kidneys and heart had failed due to various reasons during his previous surgeries, and they were all injured.程度不同的损伤，所以对他的身体状况始终要有高度关注，要处处小心。一个正常人感冒发烧可能三天就好了，可对他来说，一个感冒可能就会引起多种并发症，甚至可能要了他的命。 在保养心情这一点上，西医中医的观点倒是完全相同，那就是一定要胸襟开朗，气血平和，七窍清爽畅通，一切开心就好。按中医说法：一旦毒热攻心，中焦堵塞，引发五脏失合，再生衰竭或紊乱，可以是瞬间之变的事情。按西医说法：从脏器的免疫能力上看，高纯毕竟还是一个很虚弱的人，这一点毋庸置疑。 关于这一点，光明医院那位从一开始就给高纯治病的女医生还告诉金葵：“昨天病人家里来人了解病人的情况，我们也是这么说的。 这一段时间病人的情绪对他身体的恢复起了重要作用，所以情绪问题不可掉以轻心。 ”女医生话中提到了病人的家里来人，金葵一时没能听懂，她脱口问道：“病人家里，病人哪个家里？ " “就是他家里呀。”女医生说：“他不是还有个姐姐吗。他姐姐昨天派人来专门找我们刘大夫了解了他最近的情况，他姐姐现在和他一起住吗？” 金葵反应过来了，在此之前她几乎忘记了高纯还有一个姐姐。她仓促地摇了一下头：“啊？啊，没有，他们不住一起。” “他爱人出国了是吧，那你是他什么人呢？” 女医生问得很随意，一边记着病历，一边顺口闲问，但金葵的回答却很难堪，不知该怎样介绍自己——是高纯的朋友还是保姆？说保姆名不符实，说朋友也并非名正言顺，都张不开口似的。 “我是……是高纯的老乡，也是……也是他朋友吧，我是专门过来帮忙照顾高纯的。” 女医生笑笑说：“所以我老说高纯其实命挺好的，都残废了他爱人还一直在医院里守着他，最后还和他正式结了婚。他又有你这么关心他的老乡，他真是挺有福气的。人哪，有失就有得，失去一样就会得到一样，老天很公平的。” 没错，金葵也这样想，高纯失去了父母和双腿，但他有了她。她没有任何条件地爱着高纯。每一寸耕耘也许都会拥有一份收获。高纯过去对她好，她今天才会爱他至深。周欣也是一样，高纯帮了她，她就投桃报李以身相许。但愿天下事莫不如此，奉献越大，得到越多。 至少，李师傅的收获也是他多年辛苦的一份见证，至少证明天道酬勤，确实经常显灵的。金葵带着高纯从医院回家，刚刚进了院门就听见身后传来君君响铃一般的叫声：“爸！妈！我考上啦！高纯哥，金葵姐，学校来通知啦，我考上商贸大学啦！”君君从院外跑进来，挤过高纯的轮椅向她家的房门跑去，刚刚推开房门已能听到李师傅妻子喜极而泣的笑声。 当天晚上，金葵做了一大桌饭菜，把高纯推到大餐厅里，和李师傅全家坐在一起，庆贺君君的这件人生大事。李师傅和金葵都喝了点白酒，预祝君君学有所成，从此人生辉煌，一帆风顺；也祝李师傅夫妻多年吃苦受累，终于如愿以偿。金葵受高纯委托，把一万元现金交到君君手上，说这是高纯送给君君第一年的学费，下午刚从银行取回来的。金葵送上这一万块钱时表情感慨，她说：“上大学一直是我的一个理想，也是高纯的理想，但我们现在实现不了这个理想了，你这么容易就实现这个理想了，你现在是你们家历史上第一个大学生了，你可要好好珍惜这个机会。”君君委屈地说：“我也不容易呀，你问我爸我妈，我这几年为了考大学，都没怎么玩儿，天天让我爸我妈逼着学习。你和高纯哥要是也跟我似的这么玩儿命学，你们肯定也能考上舞蹈学院了，他们说艺术类院校特别好考，分数线比一般大学低多了。哎，金葵姐你应该再去试试，高纯哥考不了了，你干吗不去考？ 你不喜欢跳舞了吗？在这儿当小保姆伺候人，也不是一辈子的事啊，你真不如再好好补补课，明年也考一考去。 " 金葵一时接不上话，下意识地转脸去看高纯，高纯的笑也僵在脸上了，不知如何应答君君的“鼓励”。李师傅居然也随着女儿怂恿金葵：“对呀，金葵你应该去考哇，你们家酒楼就算倒了，但供你上大学应该没问题吧。你可以回去跟你家里商量一下，父母都会支持孩子上学的，上学是管一辈子的事，你爸你妈得明白这个道理……”只有李师傅的妻子用气虚力弱的声音，替金葵解脱尴尬：“人家金葵要上舞蹈学院早上了，人家这不是专门来照顾你高纯哥的吗。”李师傅妻子说完女儿，又说丈夫：“高纯这病你一个人又照顾不过来，小周不在，还不全靠金葵帮忙。”李师傅应声理解：“啊，这倒也是。”但女儿君君依然自以为是：“那人家金葵姐也不能一辈子干这个呀。反正高纯哥现在有的是钱了，另外请个人照顾他不就行了，金葵姐你就咬牙狂补习一年，你上了大学以后才能出名啊，出了名才能挣钱啊，这你肯定比我懂啊。你在这儿干这份工作，能挣什么钱啊。” 君君“童言无忌”，把这个时代少男少女的“现实”心态，表达得倒也直爽。李师傅的妻子批评女儿：“人家金葵对高纯有感情的，又不是为了拿这份保姆的钱才到这儿来的。人和人有了感情，那就能心甘情愿做牺牲了。”李师傅被妻子的话蓦然提醒，及时将问题引申出去：“君君我可告诉你，你大学毕业以前，可不许跟男孩子谈恋爱啊。就是大学毕了业，也要先顾事业，等事业稳定了，看准了人再谈。我可跟你说，今后别的事都由你，找对象的事一定得我和你妈帮你看准了才行！”君君回嘴：“高纯哥和金葵姐谈恋爱不就挺好的吗，他们谈的时候也比我大不了多少。”李师傅嗔斥女儿，就以高纯金葵现身说法：“谈的好有什么用，你小孩子这方面的事你懂什么，高纯和金葵谈了半天，最后还不是跟别人结了婚。社会上的事有多复杂，哪是你想的那么简单哪！”君君马上向金葵示援：“金葵姐，我就觉得高纯哥还是跟你最合适了。高纯哥要不是腿坏了，肯定不会娶周欣当老婆的。”李师傅妻子慌得直看丈夫眼神，制止女儿：“君君，你小孩子可不能乱讲话的……”但李师傅酒劲上头，自己的话却不可控制地多了起来：“高纯，你和周欣……你们结婚以后，实际处得怎么样啊，还行吗？”高纯看看金葵，在这个话题上，两人只能面面相觑。李师傅接着说下去:“你和金葵好了那么久，彼此都了解了。和周欣不熟，恐怕得处一阵才摸得准脾气吧。不过今天没外人，你得听师傅一句，夫妻俩过日子，互谅互让这肯定没错的，但你看凡是夫妻不合的，十有八九都是为经济上的事打架。家庭过日子，矛盾都出在钱上头。所以你听师傅一句，就算你腿坏了，可你毕竟是男人呀，你脑子毕竟没坏呀，所以家里的经济大权，还得你拿着。钱的事可以跟老婆商量，但不能让老婆做主，这个大院本来就是你家传给你的，所以还是得你亲自当家。过去清朝让慈禧太后垂帘听政，皇上的日子多不好过呀，电视台都演，你没看过呀？” 话说到这个高度，高纯脸上就有点难挂了，不得不为自己的妻子正名开脱：“周欣人挺好的，很正派，很成熟，挺有管理能力的……”李师傅笑着对妻子说：“你看，你看把高纯管的，背后都不敢说老婆坏话。”李师傅妻子倒是正面理解：“高纯多厚道啊，看人都看人家的好，从不说别人坏话的。” 这顿给君君祝喜的饭，吃得高纯并不痛快，回房后一直情绪委靡。金葵给他洗脸时问他：“困了？”他说：“没有。”金葵问：“那怎么这么没精神啊？”他说：“大晚上的要那么精神干吗。”金葵看得透他，说：“李师傅说你老婆，你不高兴了吧？”高纯闷了一会儿，承认：“我和周欣，就算没有很深的感情，但她毕竟是我老婆呀，我不希望她在我的家里，没有尊严。”金葵问：“那你为什么不批评李师傅？”高纯说：“李师傅是我师傅，自尊心可强呢，我哪批评得了他。”金葵问：“李师傅说你在家没有经济大权，是这样吗？”高纯说：“听他胡说。”金葵说：“周欣出国前让我除了日常生活和给你看病拿药的开销，用钱都要请示她的。上次我买那台热水器，不也是给她打了电话吗。”高纯这才解释：“当时我继承我爸遗产的时候，身体很差，我的律师做了很大努力，签了协议，让周欣做我财产的代管人，才算把我应得的财产争取回来。要不然那笔财产，连这个院子，就得归我姐姐管理了。”停了一下，高纯又问金葵：“周欣做事挺稳的，你觉得她这样管不好吗？”金葵连忙摇头：“没有啊，她是你老婆，她帮你管钱名正言顺呀。”高纯说：“噢。”金葵扯开话题，说：“今天要洗脚吗？”高纯说：“不洗了。”金葵说：“那咱们早点睡吧。” 金葵说咱们早点睡吧，是一起过日子的话。她睡在高纯的屋里，她在他屋里照顾他，一举一动，一言一行，都和一家人一样，很夫妻相的。也许她和高纯一直以爱人相待，所以一切言谈举止，都来得自然而然，理所应当。 高纯父亲生前将他的财产分成两半，一半给了儿子，一半给了女儿。从资产的账面数额上看，分给女儿的占了总额的十分之九，分给儿子的仅占一成。也许他并不知道女儿拥有的百科公司已经大厦将倾，但儿子名下的仁里胡同三号院才真正物有所值。 百科公司是被他的女婿陆子强搞垮的，这让他身后的公司持有者，他的女儿蔡东萍变成了债务累累的冤大头。法院对陆子强开庭宣判那天蔡东萍没有到场，宣判的结果她是从律师的口中得知的。 律师在法庭散庭后第一时间赶到了蔡东萍位于亚运村的那幢公寓，他走进公寓的客厅时，蔡东萍正在与她的那位壮实的生活助理孙姐在落地窗前的阳光里练着太极推手。她们练得很是认真，一丝不苟，甚至在律师向她汇报的时候，她也没有停下那套你进我退的动作。 “一审判决今天已经下来了。检察院提出的偷逃税、商业贿赂和金融诈骗的控诉，经法院认定……罪名成立。” 蔡东萍的动作只是不易察觉地停了一瞬，又继续下去。律师也停了一停，接着说道：“……数罪并罚，一审判决合并刑期十五年。” 太极推手没有停止，动作依然圆顺娴熟。律师说：“我已经准备好了上诉方案。但是我考虑，如果再把一审中我们提出辩护的那些理由拿到二审，恐怕对改变判决不会有太大的作用。所以我想了另一个方案，我想我们上诉的理由只有在事实方面给检察院那边找点麻烦，才有可能绝处逢生，但这个方案事关您和陆总的个人名誉，所以首先要您同意才行。” 蔡东萍继续推手，没有应声。 律师看她表情，看不出是何反应，于是就说下去了：“我想上诉二审的时候，我们可以把您弟弟高纯的妻子周欣，作为一张牌打出去。我们可以搜集一些证据，证明周欣利用色相引诱陆总，被陆总拒绝后设计报复，把这个案子的性质往个人恩怨、诬告陷害的可能性上引导一下，也许……” 蔡东萍的推手戛然而止，她走出窗前明亮的阳光，踱进旁边灰色的阴影，冷冷说道：“陆子强偷税漏税、行贿骗贷，这些事检察院税务局不都查到证据了吗，你这么辩还有什么用？” 律师口气含糊：“死马当做活马医吧，说说陆总是被女人设计了，总比重复过去那些从轻的理由，要好一点吧。” 蔡东萍在沙发上坐下，喝了孙姐端上的一杯清水，无所爱憎地说道：“他是真想要那个女人，才把自己装进去了，算他咎由自取吧，就别再让我跟他丢那份脸了。他要上诉我也不反对，我也反对不了。 我们的离婚协议他不是也签了字吗？那我也没资格再发表什么意见了。 二审就算维持原判，你也尽力了。我们都算对得起他了。十五年，其实一晃就过去了，他也该花这份时间好好反省一下了。 " 律师明白了蔡东萍的态度，随即转移了话题。陆子强既然注定是个被抛弃的角色，那蔡东萍真正关心的，看来只剩下百科公司了。 律师说：“公司的其他几个官司现在还没什么新的情况。法院从受理到开庭，还会有一段时间。昨天我听公司财务部的赵经理说，税务局追缴的税款和罚金已经凑够了，全公司比较容易变现的资产基本上就全进去了。所以这几个债务官司一旦法院支持原告，那公司肯定拿不出东西偿还了。这个情况不知赵经理或者公司的李总跟您汇报过没有。” 蔡东萍脸色晦暗，无精打采地说道：“李总建议我赶紧注册一两个新的公司，尽快把百科公司部分还能盈利的业务转到新公司去做，然后在法院判决我们向债权人偿债的时候，把百科公司做破产处理。 说这样就能保住公司的部分资产和资源，不至于全给拖进债务陷阱里去了。可财务部老赵说这个办法操作起来挺难的。你说这办法能行吗？ " 蔡东萍求问的问题，边缘于合法与违法之间，律师的回答自然特别小心谨慎：“这个……从理论上说不是不行，但债权人在百科公司不能全额偿债时，也有权请求法院牵连百科系统的关联资产。既然法院现在已经接受诉讼，对百科公司的资产自然会很快冻结或者监管，所以这个时候资产运作的动作如果太大，显然不太现实。而且注册新的公司也不是一两天的事。从资质审查到入资验资到工商发照再到建立税务户头，不是马上就能接手业务的。” 蔡东萍面孔僵硬，既像镇定，又似瘫痪，她问：“你的意思是，李总的这个办法不行？那你告诉我，百科公司如果全都垮了的话，我是不是连喝碗粥的钱都没了？” “那倒不至于，”律师说：“我问过赵经理了，公司对外欠的那几笔债务其实加起来也就是七八千万，所以我认为如果能有七八千万的资金周转一下，或者找到债权人大体可以接受的等价物抵押一下，还是力保公司不要破产为好。公司账面资产有八亿多，净资产也有一亿多，不良资产虽然比例较大，但为七八千万的现金缺口就破产，就太吃亏了。” “到哪能找到七八千万，或者你说的等价物呢……” 不到几分钟的间隔，蔡东萍的声音一反常态地疲软下来，软得近乎茫然和祈求。但是律师接下来的提示让她渐渐枯萎下去的眼眸又重新活动起来，似乎又找到了绝处逢生的盼头。 “仁里胡同三号院不也是你父亲留下的遗产吗？那个院子按现在的市值估计，不会低于两亿元人民币。即便有价无市，作为七八千万债务的抵押物，各方肯定都可以接受的。这份财产现在归你弟弟管理，你弟弟恐怕也不愿意看到你父亲亲手建立的百科公司走到破产变卖的地步吧。他毕竟是你们蔡家的一员，毕竟血浓于水嘛，在蔡家发生危难之际，按理应当施以援手。” 从仁里胡同的院子转而说到她的这个弟弟，蔡东萍目光中的亮色又渐渐熄去，只留下一个微小的光点，幽怨地缩进瞳孔。律师不无惋惜地说道：“您当初搬出来的时候，怎么没把你父亲收藏的那些家具拿出来呢？那些紫檀黄花梨的家具很容易变现的。赵经理查了一下账，十年前你父亲陆陆续续买下这些家具，就花了两百多万，现在至少涨了十倍。” 蔡东萍长出一口怨气：“我一直不喜欢那些中式的家具，坐也不舒服躺也不舒服，我对这些玩意儿从来没兴趣，我怎么知道值那么多钱哪。” 律师恨铁不成钢地：“紫檀黄花梨，有点知识的人都知道是值钱东西啊。特别是黄花梨，现在都绝迹了，不是有钱就能买得到的！” 蔡东萍糊里糊涂地说道：“当初我爸还想往我屋里摆呢，我坚决不同意，我那屋沙发坐着多舒服啊。” 律师无可奈何，又把话题转移开去，还是试图说服蔡东萍去恳求弟弟。几个月前她的弟弟还是她的仇人，而现在，却成了救命的神仙。 律师说：“其实让你弟弟出手拯救你父亲的公司并不是让他去做一件为难的事，他只需要同意把仁里胡同三号院用做抵押物就可以了，并不影响他在那里继续住下去……” 律师的话还没有说完，蔡东萍已经表态：“他没对我父亲尽过半点孝心，就得了这么大的一份财产，现在我父亲的公司需要他帮一把，还用我去说吗？他自己就应该主动把院子交出来，他的良心在哪儿啊！” 律师见蔡东萍又激动起来，便极力把话朝现实和理性的方向去说：“我印象中你弟弟还是个比较厚道的人，和你又有血缘关系，你可以避开他的老婆周欣，直接去找你弟弟谈谈。周欣是个比较精明的女人，而且个性也比较强硬，但你弟弟就比较……” “我不去找他！”蔡东萍毫无耐心地打断律师，关于她的这个弟弟，她的心口似乎永远堵了一口怨气：“我不去找他，他也活不了几天了我还求他干什么！等他不在了这院子自然就是我的，我父亲死前有话的！” 律师不得不再次提醒：“您前两天不是还让李总派人去医院问了情况吗？医生不是说你弟弟现在病情比较稳定了吗？医生不是说他的身体情况在渐渐好转吗？” 蔡东萍立即闷住了声音。 律师说：“哪怕他病情恶化天天住院，只要他还活在世上，院子就仍然还在他的手里，除非他死了，或者，除非他和周欣离婚了，你才可以重新回到这个院子，行使继承权或者代管权。可惜的是，你弟弟无论是死亡还是离异，主动权都不在你的手里。” 蔡东萍冷冷自语：“你是说，他如果不死，我就得死……” 律师承受不了这股阴煞之气，笑笑解脱自己：“作为一个人，我希望人人长命百岁，家家百年好合。作为一个律师，我只负责把法律上的各种可能性，向我的委托人做出告知。” 蔡东萍的逼问，仍然像是自语：“你是说，我最大的可能，就是等死？” 律师摇头：“任何可能都是存在的，比如我刚才说的由你亲自出面去求你的弟弟，你求他……” “还有别的比如吗？” 蔡东萍不能接受这个“求”字，不假犹豫地打断律师。 律师咽了口气，回答：“我刚才也都说了，比如，死亡，比如，离婚。” “但你刚才也都说了，这两点我都没有主动权，所以你要告诉我的，就是等死！” “条条大路通罗马，就看你选哪一条了。只是在我知道的案例里，最常见的几条道路，并不适合你。” “比如！” 蔡东萍抬头，逼问得不留缝隙，律师也只能出语极端：“比如，谋杀！” 蔡东萍当然愣住了，律师也就一笑：“你敢吗？” “谋杀”这个词显然让蔡东萍感到意外，“谋杀？”她慌乱地摇头：“我是女人，我不擅长这种事情。还有别的比如吗？” “比如，间离。” “间离？” “只有把周欣从你弟弟的生活中间离出局，你才可以接管你的弟弟，也就是，接管那个院子。” 律师说完之后，屋里静下来了，静得没了一点声音。没有声音的时候人的表情会被放大，大到无法遮掩地残忍和狰狞。
