Chapter 105 Good and Evil
Each one is hideous and terrifying.
Almost every elderly person in the village had been beaten by him, and anyone who dared to go to the police station to report him would be subjected to even more severe beatings and humiliation.
He was a heinous criminal in the village. He went door to door with a group of people, collecting protection fees every day and molesting and harassing women.
The whole village was in a state of misery and unrest.
Zhang Donglian could only apologize door to door, and he used the last bit of his savings to gamble.
No matter how Zhang Donglian tried to persuade him, her son did not change, but became even worse.
When she was a child, she was called a bastard, and when she grew up, she was beaten with sticks.
When he hits someone, even if it is his mother who has raised him for so many years, he will hit him with whatever he can get.
Once, just because Zhang Donglian was woken up by the chickens she was feeding, he stormed out of the room with a stick in his hand.
Three of her ribs were broken directly.
The old man lay in the puddle and groaned in pain, but he just closed the door and continued to sleep.
After waking up, he rummaged through the drawers and cabinets looking for money, and left home after finding it.
He never even looked at his mother who was still lying in the puddle.
Fortunately, the villagers discovered her in time and sent her to the hospital.
Later, Zhang Donglian got up at five in the morning as usual, washed and changed into clean clothes.
Then he took the money and walked to the distant market town to attend the market.
She bought some vegetables, three or four pounds of lean meat, some paper money and incense, and finally came to the end of the market. She told the owner that there were many rats at home and bought a few packets of rat poison.
Then she slowly left the market. She did not rush home, but came to a mountain alone where her husband was buried.
She stood in front of her husband's grave, saying nothing, but quietly placing the paper money in her hand onto the flames one page at a time.
The light from the flames shone on her old face, but there was not even a reflection in her eyes.
Her son was sitting in front of the door playing games. When he saw her come back, he said, "Where have you been, old man? Hurry up and cook for me!"
She nodded.
Without stopping, he started pouring water to wash the vegetables and meat, and slowly cut the meat into slices one by one.
After a while, the table was filled with dishes.
She called out, "Son, dinner is ready, come and eat."
His son came over and sat down at the table. He looked at the dishes and said with a smile, "Old man, did you get rich today? Why did you prepare such a sumptuous meal?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to eat meat? So I bought you some more." Zhang Donglian slowly sat down opposite him and handed him the prepared rice.
He took it, picked up the chopsticks, picked up pieces of meat and put them into his mouth.
Zhang Donglian did not pick up her chopsticks, but watched him eat quietly.
"Son, Mom... I'm sorry." Zhang Donglian murmured, "It's Mom's fault. I couldn't give you a good life, let alone teach you well. I was stupid. I always let you do everything since you were young. I thought that my son must have the love that I had never tasted. As a result, you became like this..."
"Are you done yet?" Her son kicked her hard and yelled, "Just eat, why are you talking so much nonsense, you old fool? You talk too much."
"Give me some money, I'm going to gamble a few times later." He stretched out his hand.
Zhang Donglian took out a plastic bag from her pocket and slowly opened it with trembling hands.
"Give it to me!" His son snatched it away, tore up the plastic bag, counted it, and said with disgust, "It's so damn little."
As he said this, he put all the money into his pocket.
Then continue eating.
Zhang Donglian didn't say anything else and just watched him eat silently.
In the end, his son ate up the entire plate of meat, leaving only the soup from the other dishes for her.
After eating and drinking, he got up and planned to go gambling.
"son!"
His son stopped at the door and looked back at her.
Zhang Donglian stood up tremblingly and said, "Walk slowly on the road. If there is an afterlife, please don't be born into my belly again. You must be happy in your next life and be a good person. I will bear the sins you committed in this life. I will go to hell for you..."
"Are you crazy, old man?" his son said with disgust, turned and walked out of the room.
Zhang Donglian walked to the door and saw her son's back getting farther and farther away until he disappeared...
She turned around, slowly cleared the dishes, and took them to the kitchen stove.
She stood there in a daze, her eyes falling on the two paper bags on the stove that had been filled with rat poison powder.
His son was walking along the road in the village. He felt more and more nauseous and wanted to vomit. Finally, his limbs became so weak that he could only hold on to the tree trunk next to him.
His whole body began to tremble, and a lot of white foam came out of his mouth. Finally, the foam turned into blood foam, and he fell backwards to the ground.
By the time people found him, he was already dead and his limbs were ice-cold.
Later, the police came to Zhang Donglian's home.
Zhang Donglian just sat at the door in a daze, not answering questions asked to her. She held the portrait of her deceased husband and a photo of her son when he was a child.
The used rat poison and leftover food on the stove were also all there.
He did not make any excuses during the interrogation.
He just said, "It was my fault, so I came to solve it. I feel sorry for the people in the village, and I must give them an explanation."
When the old lady revealed her motive for murder, everyone in the audience was shocked except Chi Jinjinhe who already knew it.
The netizens in front of the screen were also in disbelief.
No one would have thought that behind this horrific case of filicide was such a tear-jerking motive for murder.
The old lady said, "I am almost eighty years old this year. I don't know when I will turn into the earth. When I am gone, no one will care about him anymore."
The people in the gallery couldn't help but wipe away their tears, and many people in front of the screen also had red eyes. They went from being angry at the beginning to feeling sympathy and pity now.
A hemp rope breaks at the thinnest part, and bad luck only finds the unfortunate.
The presiding judge took off his glasses and wiped the tears from his face.
Finally, the presiding judge sentenced the old lady to three years in prison with a reprieve.
When they parted, Chi Jinjin was curious and asked the old man, "You had been reluctant to fight this lawsuit before, why do you suddenly want to fight it now?"
The old lady told her the reason.
It turned out that the old lady's son had been married before and had a daughter.
The daughter-in-law treats the old lady very well, just like her own mother.
But he was always beaten and insulted by Zhang Donglian's son.
Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she forced a divorce from Zhang Donglian's son and took her daughter away to work.
He was gone for four or five years.
Later, the daughter-in-law missed the old lady and brought her granddaughter back to see her.
The granddaughter was naughty and accidentally woke up Zhang Donglian's son. He directly grabbed the little girl's neck and threw her to the ground angrily, causing the little girl to suffer a mild concussion and a fracture in her left hand.
So, from that day on, the old man made up his mind.
The reason she wanted to fight again was because her daughter-in-law brought her granddaughter to visit her in prison a few days ago.
She learned from her daughter-in-law that because of her, her granddaughter had been ostracized at school. Everyone said she was the granddaughter of a murderer, and no one wanted to play with her, isolating her.
After hearing this, Zhang Donglian changed her mind.
"I want to tell my granddaughter that I am not a completely bad person. I also want to tell others that my granddaughter is not the granddaughter of a big villain. I don't want to implicate her and become a stain on her life in the future." Zhang Donglian said with a wry smile.
When parents love their children, they plan for their future lives; the same is true of the love between grandparents and grandchildren.
She killed her own son, which was a wound to her.
But for the sake of his granddaughter, so that he would not be criticized in the future, the old man tore open the wound alive and displayed it to the public.
Just to prove to others that her granddaughter is clean.
Thinking of her grandmother's life, Chi Jinjin couldn't help but feel distressed. God didn't give her the ability to save the world, but gave her a pair of eyes that couldn't bear to see the sufferings of the world.
When the old man got into the car, he turned around and shook Chi Jinjin's hand, saying, "Thank you, Lawyer Chi. You will definitely become an excellent lawyer in the future. I'm very happy to have met you in my life."
"Grandma, you're welcome. I'm very happy to meet you." Chi Jinjin shook her hand and smiled sweetly.
After the truth about grandma's affair came to light, public opinion online suddenly reversed and became mostly positive.
Chi Jinjin's fame spread once again in the institute.
But Chi Jinjin still missed that grandma a little.
Chi Jinjin returned home, holding a bouquet of carnations in her hand, and said to Nan Xuqiu, "Nan Xuqiu, why don't we go see Grandma Zhang Donglian together."
"Jinjin, there's something I just found out." Nan Xuqiu said.
"What?" Chi Jinjin was puzzled.
Nan Xuqiu said, "Grandma Zhang Donglian passed away..."
Chi Jinjin was stunned.
"How could it be..." Chi Jinjin couldn't believe it. Grandma looked fine that day, how could she have passed away so suddenly? It had only been a few days.
Nan Xuqiu said, "She committed suicide. She bought three packets of rat poison..."
She gave two packets to her son and kept one packet for herself. From the very beginning, she had no intention of living. She found a way to death for her son and also found one for herself.
She gave her son's life to atone for the evil he had done, and she gave her own life to atone for her son.
Chi Jinjin's hand holding the flowers dropped, and the bouquet fell to the ground.
Nan Xuqiu stepped forward and held her in his arms.
Later, the villagers gathered together to hold a funeral for the old man.
Chi Jinjin and Nan Xuqiu also participated.
Thinking back to her words when they parted that day, she thought it was just a token of gratitude, but she never expected it was also the old lady's farewell.
Chi Jinjin bent down and placed a bag of candy in front of the old man's grave.
She thought, grandma must also like to eat candy, she has suffered a lifetime...
Another year has come to an end unknowingly. Chi Jinjin's house is more lively than in previous years. Nan Xuqiu's family went to Chi Jinjin's house to celebrate the New Year. Later, Tang Shi and Song Ci, as well as Ji Yang and Song Nuannuan also came to pay New Year's greetings.
Tang Shi's belly has become very big, and it looks round like a ball stuffed in his clothes.
Chi Jinjin finally felt what fetal movement was.
If you put a small thing on it, it will be kicked away.
They said that Tang Shi was pregnant with a little boy.
New Years later, Ji Yang and Song Nuannuan got married, and their wedding was held in a sea of flowers.
Every flower in the sea of flowers was planted by Ji Yang and Song Nuannuan together.
Song Nuannuan, wearing a wedding dress, slowly walked towards Ji Yang from one end of the sea of flowers.
Just at this moment, the dark clouds in the gloomy sky dispersed, and rays of sunlight fell on Song Nuannuan's wedding dress. The gold powder on the dress made the whole wedding dress sparkle in the moonlight.
Countless butterflies are flying around.
Ji Yang stared intently at the girl walking towards him from the light. She brought blooming flowers with her and traveled through mountains and rivers to his barren wilderness.
Song Ci, who usually looked at her with disdain, now cried even more sadly than her own mother.
Tang Shi didn't even have time to wipe it off.
"Mr. Ji, are you willing to marry this woman to be your wife? Love her, care for her, respect her, accept her, and be faithful to her forever, no matter in sickness or health, or for any other reason?" The godfather asked, holding the Bible.
Ji Yang looked at the person in front of him and said with a smile, "I do."
The godfather then asked Song Nuannuan, "Miss Song, are you willing to marry this man and become your husband? Whether in sickness or in health, or for any other reason, to love him, care for him, respect him, accept him, and be faithful to him forever until the end of your life?"
Song Nuannuan nodded and replied without hesitation, "Yes."
The two exchanged rings under the gaze of everyone.
The godfather then said, "Now, bridegroom, you may kiss your wife."
Ji Yang lifted her veil, closed his eyes and kissed Song Nuannuan.
"I only have one sister, and this bastard took away the basin with her." Song Ci said indignantly while wiping her tears.
Because Song Nuannuan was undecided before her wedding, whether to hold a Chinese or Western wedding, Ji Yang finally decided to hold two.
So they left the sea of flowers, returned to their home, and held another Chinese-style party.
After the banquet.
Ji Yang returned to the room. Song Nuannuan came up to him and asked, "Are you hungry? How about I get you something to eat? It seems like you haven't eaten much today."
"I didn't eat much, but I was full from drinking." Ji Yang said with a smile, and suddenly picked up Song Nuannuan horizontally.
Song Nuannuan was startled, looked at him and asked, "What are you doing?"
"On our wedding night, what do you think I should do?" Ji Yang smiled, looking naughty and seductive like a fox.
He pushed Song Nuannuan onto the bed, kissed her, and said, "Wife, happy wedding."
Two days later, Nan Xuqiu was going on a business trip again.
Chi Jinjin packed his suitcase for him.
"How long will you be gone this time?" Chi Jinjin asked.
Nan Xuqiu squatted aside and said, "Don't worry, it's not as long as last time, only a week."
"That's not bad." Chi Jinjin breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up, checked the time, and said, "I've sorted everything out for you. Please check if there's anything missing."
"Missing." Nan Xuqiu stood up and said.
Chi Jinjin was puzzled. She looked at the suitcase and wondered, "I packed everything you need."
Nan Xuqiu put his arm around her waist and said, "You didn't put my wife in there."
Chi Jinjin was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She hit him and said, "You're so slick. I won't argue with you anymore. I'm going to take a shower."
She turned and walked towards the bathroom.
But just as she was about to close the door, Nan Xuqiu suddenly appeared and held the door with one hand.
"What are you doing? I want to take a shower." Chi Jinjin said in confusion.
Nan Xuqiu said, "I want to take a shower too, let's go together."
As he said this, he walked into the room.
