Chapter 104 No One Can Match
"What's wrong, Jinjin?" Nan Xuqiu noticed that something was wrong with her.
Chi Jinjin replied dazedly, "It's a bit cold today."
"Cold?" Nan Xuqiu was puzzled and turned to look at the air conditioner. She had just said it was cold, and he had already turned the indoor temperature up very high. He was even sweating a little while sleeping, but Chi Jinjin still said it was cold.
Nan Xuqiu touched her forehead and found that it was burning hot.
"Do you have a fever?" Nan Xuqiu asked.
Chi Jinjin murmured, "No... I didn't get wet in the rain..."
"Let me test you." Nan Xuqiu got off the bed, rummaged through the drawers and found an electronic thermometer, and tested Chi Jinjin.
She really did have a fever.
"Jinjin, you have a fever. I'll take you to the hospital." Nan Xuqiu said.
Chi Jinjin nodded.
But her limbs were weak, her head was as heavy as a stone, and she had no strength to get up.
"Don't move, I'll call a doctor." Nan Xuqiu said.
"It's so late, and you're already calling me for help just because of a cold. It's too much of a hassle for me. I'd better go by myself..." Chi Jinjin supported herself on the bed and tried to get up.
Seeing Chi Jinjin's insistence, Nan Xuqiu said, "Then don't move. Wait for me."
He quickly changed his clothes, brought over a coat, wrapped Chi Jinjin in it, and carried her from the bed into the car.
After arriving at the hospital and receiving a fever-reducing injection, Chi Jinjin's temperature finally came down.
"Come, Jinjin, take the medicine." Nan Xuqiu helped her up, let her lean her back against him, fed her the pill, and gave her some water.
Chi Jinjin lay down, patted his hand, and said, "Go back. You still have to go to work tomorrow. I can take care of myself. Besides, there are doctors and nurses here."
Nan Xuqiu sat down beside her and said, "Nothing is more important than you."
"This is just a small matter." Chi Jinjin said.
Nan Xuqiu wiped her neck slowly with a wet towel while saying, "If your problems are all trivial, then nothing in this world will matter to me."
Chi Jinjin opened her mouth to speak, but Nan Xuqiu pressed her mouth with his index finger and said, "Take the medicine and rest well, okay?"
Chi Jinjin had no choice but to slowly close her eyes, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she quickly fell into sleep.
Nan Xuqiu came to his friend Dr. Dong and asked, "My Jinjin, she should be fine, right?"
"It's just a cold, what can it possibly be? My medical skills aren't particularly impressive, but I'm not so bad that I can't handle a cold." Doctor Dong said with a smile, "In all these years, I've never seen you care about any other woman like this. No, it should be just this one. After all, your wife is in more pain."
Nan Xuqiu smiled.
After hearing what he said, I felt relieved...
Nan Xuqiu took several days off to take care of Chi Jinjin. Chi Jinjin was worried that it would affect his work, so she kept asking him to go, but in the end she couldn't persuade Nan Xuqiu.
But thanks to Nan Xuqiu, the nurse in the ward changed the dressings very diligently, and it was not the same nurse who came every time.
This reminded her of when Nan Xuqiu was hospitalized before, the nurse came all the time and even patrolled more diligently.
Chi Jinjin didn't understand why at first.
Until one day when Nan Xuqiu went to buy dinner, Chi Jinjin overheard a few nurses outside the ward excitedly discussing, "Are you the family members who just arrived in this ward? Isn't he so handsome!"
"Yeah, yeah, he's really handsome! And I heard he's a detective!"
"Oh, he wasn't here when I changed the dressing just now. I'll have to do it again next time."
"It's such a pity that such a handsome guy got married so young."
There was a sigh outside the door.
Chi Jinjin hurried back and pretended to be asleep, but she couldn't help thinking that she had to be even better in the future, otherwise she would feel a little unworthy of Nan Xuqiu.
After all, everyone who likes him is so outstanding, from the big star Lin Shuya to various girls later, some of them are beautiful and some are talented.
Nan Xuqiu bought dinner.
After dinner, Chi Jinjin suddenly said, "Nan Xuqiu, when you have time, please bring me some books from home. Just the ones on my desk will do."
Nan Xuqiu said, "If you're sick, just rest well and don't think about work."
"I don't want to work, I just want to work harder..."
Chi Jinjin seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Nan Xuqiu noticed, "What's wrong? Why is it suddenly like this?"
Chi Jinjin sighed and said, "It seems that all your admirers are very outstanding, but I... always feel that I am not worthy of you..."
"Have you ever heard anyone say that a degree from Fuhua University is not worthy of any other degree? And you are from the most difficult law department. Lawyer Chi, who is now well-known in the legal community, do you know what my colleagues say about me?" Nan Xuqiu said.
Chi Jinjin asked, "What... did they say?"
Nan Xuqiu said with a smile, "They say I'm lucky to be able to marry a Fuhua woman. They say my wife is beautiful and has a good temper, like a fairy who doesn't care about worldly things."
Um?
"That's what they say. You are just making it up." Chi Jinjin said with a smile.
She fell into Nan Xuqiu's arms and snuggled up to him.
Although he didn't know whether these words were said by his colleague, Chi Jinjin was very happy, and his anxious mood suddenly eased.
She had felt countless times that she was not worthy of him, but Nan Xuqiu's responses made her feel countless times that no one in this world was worthy of him except herself.
Maybe she is not the best, nor the most beautiful, but she is definitely the best match for him.
True love is not about the relationship between skins, but about one soul meeting another soul, which then produces a special and intense reaction.
People call it resonance...
Nan Xuqiu went to work only after Chi Jinjin recovered.
That day, Nan Xuqiu suddenly said to her, "Zhang Donglian said she wants to see you again."
Chi Jinjin was very surprised. Although they had met many times, this was the first time she took the initiative to ask to see him.
Chi Jinjin nodded quickly.
The next day, I followed Nan Xuqiu to visit the prison.
Chi Jinjin sat down in front of Zhang Donglian, and Nan Xuqiu watched from the side.
Zhang Donglian asked, "Little girl... No, that's not right... I should call you Lawyer Chi. Lawyer Chi, you said you would appeal for me, will you still help me?"
"But I don't have much money..." Zhang Donglian said embarrassedly.
"The villagers have already paid me, and I have made all the preparations. Now all I need is your cooperation." Chi Jinjin said.
Zhang Donglian asked, "You mean you will still fight the lawsuit for me, right?"
"I won't give up easily on any of my cases." Chi Jinjin said, and then asked, "So, are you willing to cooperate with me?"
Zhang Donglian nodded.
Chi Jinjin smiled knowingly.
Later, netizens found out that Chi Jinjin was the lawyer in this case.
So there was a lot of discussion on the Internet.
However, the criticism is not as fierce as before, but there are still many unfriendly comments.
"She defended someone who murdered his son to defraud insurance. This lawyer is truly insane."
"Killing a child to get insurance? This old lady killed someone to get insurance?"
"I don't know. I heard that the old lady killed people to get insurance money."
Chi Jinjin went to buy coffee.
Some people recognized her and were talking about her behind her back. Chi Jinjin listened to them in her heart. It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel uncomfortable, but this time she was not panicked or afraid.
With Nan Xuqiu by my side, all the rumors are like fleeting clouds and not worth mentioning.
Nan Xuqiu is the dam in her heart. No matter how fierce the flood is, it cannot break through this powerful dam.
"Wangshu, I heard that your daughter-in-law wants to defend a man who killed his own son. Will you do anything about her?" said a classmate of Xu Wangshu.
Xu Wangshu said, "This is her job, why should I interfere?"
"Don't you feel ashamed? Look at the online abuse and the constant condemnation from classmates. The words are so harsh, I feel ashamed too." The woman said, "If you ask me, you shouldn't agree to marry a girl from the countryside. With Xu Qiu's situation, you can easily find a girl with a high education and a good family background. For example, my niece, who is sensible, reasonable, and beautiful."
"Your niece... is from a third-tier university, right?" Xu Wangshu said. "Our Jinjin graduated from Fuhua University."
The woman paused, then continued, "Actually, academic qualifications aren't that important. What's important is that as a daughter-in-law, you should take good care of your husband and mother-in-law. Look at you, your current daughter-in-law, haven't you fulfilled your responsibilities? You've caused such a big mess, and Xu Qiu has to come all the way back from abroad to save the situation."
"It's quite useless for a man to let his woman face the storm alone. Fortunately, my Xuqiu is not that kind of person, and I think Jinjin has a good family background." Xu Wangshu said slowly while drinking flower tea.
The woman looked disgusted and said, "What's good about him? He's just a poor farmer."
Xu Wangshu sneered and asked, "What's wrong with farming? My father-in-law and his family also farm. Is it shameful?"
"That's different. Your father-in-law is a veteran and a national hero." said the woman.
"Chi Jinjin's family is the same," Xu Wangshu said, "His grandfather was once a comrade-in-law of my father-in-law."
"She has a veteran in her family too? Why haven't I heard of them? They probably didn't have any achievements, right? If they weren't heroes, it would still be different."
Xu Wangshu's face suddenly became very serious. He said, "Regardless of whether the veterans have made contributions or not, they are all heroes of our country. Without them, what would you be?"
The woman shut her mouth for a moment, not daring to say anything more.
"My daughter-in-law graduated from Fuhua University, is a descendant of a meritorious official, and is also a lawyer who protects the rights of the people. Her marriage to our Nan family is a blessing for our Nan family. As for your niece, instead of wasting time on gossiping about her, you should improve her academic qualifications. Of course, the better one will be yours." Xu Wangshu stood up and walked upstairs on his own, saying, "Aunt Zhao, please show her away."
Xu Wangshu walked into the study, took out his cell phone and looked at the reports about Chi Jinjin and the comments below.
The next day, Chi Jinjin was surprised to find that Xu Wangshu actually registered an account and posted an article specifically to support Chi Jinjin.
The negative comments online stopped abruptly in a short period of time, and the marketing accounts that wanted to take advantage of the popularity also disappeared in large numbers.
The rest are some pertinent and supportive remarks.
"Come on, you guys were all talking so much, but now you're all so naive."
Tang Shi looked at the comment section and slapped her thigh with joy.
"Come, eat this." Song Ci came over wearing an apron and holding a piece of folic acid.
When Tang Shi saw it, he quickly hid behind the pillow and said, "I don't want to eat it. I want to vomit when I see it."
"Be good and eat it. It's good for our baby. If you don't eat it, you might give birth to a mentally retarded baby." Song Ci coaxed.
Tang Shi had no choice but to open his mouth and swallow the folic acid reluctantly.
On the day of the trial, Nan Xuqiu attended the trial again.
Shang Jingxuan also followed.
"What are you doing here?" Nan Xuqiu asked.
Shang Jingxuan said with a smile, "Come and see my sister-in-law's home court. I heard that every lawsuit she wins is very exciting, more interesting than watching a TV series."
Nan Xuqiu shook his head helplessly.
After a while, Chi Jinjin took Zhang Donglian to the defendant's seat.
"Hey, my sister-in-law is out!" Shang Jingxuan said excitedly.
"Quiet." Nan Xuqiu said.
Shang Jingxuan quickly shut his mouth.
Later, more and more people came in, and soon the seats for the public were full, with no empty seats left.
This court session was more rigorous than any other one Chi Jinjin had faced.
Because it is to be open to the public and broadcast live.
At this time, countless people were already waiting in front of the screen.
"Xianmei, your family's court is about to begin, go and see it!"
The neighbor ran over and called Zhang Xianmei.
Almost everyone in the village crowded into Chi Jinjin's house to watch the live broadcast.
At the beginning of the court session, the opposing prosecutor began to list Zhang Donglian's crimes and the laws she had violated.
"We believe that Zhang Donglian committed intentional homicide, the circumstances of which are serious, and should be sentenced to death and deprived of political rights for life," said the prosecutor.
When Zhang Donglian heard this, she didn't react at all, but just looked at the camera in front of her.
The presiding judge looked at Chi Jinjinyan and said, "Defense attorney, please begin your defense one by one."
Chi Jinjin took a deep breath, nodded, and slowly stood up.
First, she invited three witnesses, including local villagers and the village secretary.
Then, she took out the joint letter signed by all the villagers.
Finally, the one-by-one defense began.
It was only from Chi Jinjin's mouth that people learned that behind this seemingly heartless murder case was actually a mother's helplessness and a woman's suffering.
The defendant Zhang Donglian lost her parents when she was young and her husband when she was middle-aged, but she did not let the suffering erase her yearning for life. She was cheerful and kind, and she always responded to the requests of those in need in the village.
During the flood, she was reluctant to leave the lights on at home for too long, but she donated more than 3,000 yuan by herself.
He is an absolute good man in the eyes of the villagers.
Unfortunately, her only son is completely different from her. Zhang Donglian's son has been a bully in the village since he was a child. He cheated and did all kinds of evil. Later, he became the local tyrant. Anyone who did not obey him would be beaten by him.
Even Zhang Donglian couldn't say anything. He took all the money in the family to gamble. Even though she was nearly eighty years old, she still had to cook for him every day. If she didn't cook or the food was not tasty, she would be beaten by him.
Zhang Donglian slowly stood up and lifted up her clothes. The skin under the clothes was sagging and full of wrinkles, but countless scars could also be seen.
