Jiang Zhi is a woman with a soft heart and full of kindness. Her kindness is like the warm sunshine in spring, warming the soul of everyone who comes close to her. When she learned that Jiang Yao was working hard to reform in prison and her mentality had undergone a huge change, her heart was filled with complex ripples.
On a quiet afternoon, Jiang Zhi sat alone in her garden. The flowers were in full bloom, red like fire, pink like clouds, and white like snow. A gentle breeze swayed the blossoms, emitting bursts of fragrance. However, Jiang Zhi had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Her mind kept replaying images of Jiang Yao. Jiang Yao had once been filled with jealousy and resentment, doing many things that hurt her and those around her. Those painful memories had not completely dissipated with the passage of time, but at this moment, Jiang Zhi felt more relieved and sympathetic.
She recalled the hardships she had endured, every time Jiang Yao schemed against her, every time she suffered unwarranted malice. The pain she felt was like a deep scar, etched into her heart. However, she also understood the complexity of human nature. Everyone makes mistakes, like a ship lost in the darkness, sometimes all it needs is a beacon to guide the way home. Jiang Yao was like that ship, wandering in the darkness for so long, finally catching sight of the light of hope. She began to reflect on her past and recognize her mistakes, which was undoubtedly a huge transformation for Jiang Yao.
Jiang Zhi knew that no one in this world was inherently evil. Jiang Yao's jealousy and malice might stem from her deep-seated insecurity and excessive desire for something. Perhaps it was life's unsatisfactory circumstances, or perhaps a setback in her relationships, that led her down the wrong path. Now, she had the courage to face her past and change herself, a rare feat. Jiang Zhi felt that if she could offer Jiang Yao some understanding and tolerance at this moment, it might become a crucial motivator for her to start over.
Jiang Zhi began to imagine Jiang Yao's life after her release. She imagined the many difficulties she would face. People in society often held prejudice against those with criminal records, making it difficult to find a job and reintegrate into society. Without a helping hand, she would likely fall back into despair and repeat her past mistakes. Jiang Zhi didn't want to see that happen; she hoped she could be a part of Jiang Yao's recovery.
She thought of helping Jiang Yao find a place to stay first. After all, Jiang Yao might have nowhere to live after being released from prison. Jiang Zhi had an unused small house on the edge of the city. Although it was not big, it was enough for one person to live in. She could clean up the house and let Jiang Yao live in it first. Then, she could consider finding a job for Jiang Yao. Jiang Zhi knew a lot of friends, and she could ask them if there was any job suitable for Jiang Yao. Maybe she could start with some simple jobs, such as helping out in a flower shop or working as a waiter in a restaurant. Although these jobs were hard, they would allow Jiang Yao to gradually adapt to the pace of society, and would also allow her to get paid through her own labor and regain her confidence in life.
However, Jiang Zhi also knew that this decision might not be understood by everyone. Her family and friends might worry that Jiang Yao would hurt her again. After all, Jiang Yao's past actions had left a deep negative impression on everyone. Jiang Zhi's parents might strongly object when they heard the news. They would think Jiang Zhi was too kind and too trusting, and they would worry that she would be hurt again. Her friends might also advise her not to cause trouble for herself, saying that Jiang Yao was not trustworthy.
However, Jiang Zhi's kindness reassured her. She wondered how cold the world would become if she didn't help someone who wanted to change for the better because she feared being hurt. She trusted her own judgment and believed Jiang Yao truly wanted to change. She also knew she needed to maintain a certain level of vigilance while helping Jiang Yao. She couldn't trust Jiang Yao completely; instead, she needed to observe her behavior while offering her help to ensure she was truly on the right track.
Jiang Zhi also thought about having some in-depth conversations with Jiang Yao. She wanted to understand Jiang Yao's life in prison and how she came to realize her mistakes. She wanted to let Jiang Yao know that this opportunity was hard-earned and she must cherish it. Jiang Zhi hoped that through these conversations, Jiang Yao would gain a deeper understanding of her past and feel Jiang Zhi's trust and expectations for her.
In the days that followed, Jiang Zhi began preparing for Jiang Yao's release. She cleaned the unused little house and stocked it with simple household items. She searched for suitable jobs for Jiang Yao, and despite encountering numerous obstacles, she remained steadfast. She explained her thinking to those around her, trying to make them understand her decision. Some, moved by her kindness, began to support her approach; others remained skeptical, but Jiang Zhi remained undeterred.
Jiang Zhi knew it was a risk, but she was willing to take it for the goodness in her heart and her faith in humanity. She believed that as long as Jiang Yao had a heart that wanted to be a better person, and as long as she provided sufficient support and guidance, she would be able to reintegrate into society and live a normal life. She hoped that her kindness would be like a seed, taking root in Jiang Yao's heart and allowing her to become a useful member of society, a person full of positive energy.
As Jiang Yao's release date approached, Jiang Zhi felt a mixture of anticipation and nervousness. She didn't know what Jiang Yao's first reaction would be, nor did she know if her help would truly put her back on the right track. But she told herself that no matter what difficulties she encountered, she would persevere. Because her decision wasn't just for Jiang Yao, it was also to prove that in this world, kindness and tolerance can overcome hatred and prejudice.
