Lawyer's character

At the midnight food stall, the bustling diners gradually dispersed. The young waiter yawned tiredly and began to clear the tables and chairs. There is a middle-aged man in the corner, a table, a bottle of white wine, a plate of boiled peanuts, and a plate of cucumbers. He has been drinking alone since nightfall.

The middle-aged man looked haggard, his hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with tears, his shirt was wrinkled, and he looked poor.

Sometimes he looked at the wine glass in a daze, and sometimes he took a sip from the glass, looking particularly lonely under the dim light of the food stall.

The young man wanted to remind the middle-aged man that the food stall was about to close, but he was stopped by the boss. The man didn't shed tears easily because he was not sad yet. The boss was a man who had been through it and naturally understood this.

This middle-aged man is Fang Yi, a lecturer at the local University of Applied Technology. No one would have thought that a tall, seven-foot-tall man, a college teacher, would secretly hide in such an inconspicuous roadside food stall, drinking and crying. .

A month ago, he always thought that he and his wife could grow old together. Half a month ago, he always thought that he could work steadily in school until retirement. However, reality gave him a hard blow. What he once had Everything was like an illusion, fleeting, and he could only watch, unable to do anything.

His heart suddenly felt as if a ten thousand-foot tall building had been kicked off. The cable in the heart of the Yangtze River was broken and the boat collapsed, falling into the abyss of pain.

His parents told him that as long as he went to college, he could find a good job and bring glory to his family. He was very obedient and studied hard. In the end, he studied for a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, and a Ph.D., entered his current workplace, and became a university teacher. After that, he married a beautiful wife. In the eyes of outsiders, he was a perfect man. Winner in life.

From then on, he began to indulge himself, muddle along in the work unit, and enjoy the so-called life, but he did not expect that this was just the beginning of life.

From then on, he lived a leisurely life, and the unrestrained (without ambition) life always passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, he was already thirty-seven.

His wife, Cao Xiaohui, has grown from an ordinary cashier to the company's financial director. Her children are growing up day by day, and there are all kinds of cram schools, but he is still standing still.

I don't know since when, his salary began to make ends meet. He, the proud man of heaven and a university teacher, began to be ridiculed by his wife.

His wife once introduced him to work as a legal specialist in a private company, and the salary was double that of the university. However, he felt that the legal specialists in private companies were not as decent as university teachers, so he refused with disdain. They had a quarrel over this.

In fact, the real reason why he didn't want to go was that he was used to the comfortable life in the ivory tower and didn't want to leave. He felt anxious and uneasy about the outside environment.

People often say that good things never come together, and misfortunes never come alone.

Last month, his wife Cao Xiaohui filed for divorce, giving him a blow. Not long ago, the head of the department talked to him again. After the contract expires in August, the school will not renew his contract. Divorced + unemployed, his life suddenly became a mess.

He didn't understand why, despite everything going smoothly in the first half, God suddenly gave him a blow at the beginning of the second half, causing feathers all over the floor.

His home was gone, his job was gone, and even his beloved son was taken away by his wife. Depression, decadence, pain, and fear instantly climbed onto his once high-spirited face, filling his heart with invisible pressure. He was forced into a corner, unable to move, and he felt more desperate than ever.

As he drank one glass after another of liquor, he became more and more taciturn in sorrow. He was so excited when he first joined the university, but now he is so depressed.

He regretted that he had disobeyed his wife and coveted comfort, and now he ended up like this. Looking back now, I was so naive at the time, dreaming of relying on the big tree of the university to grow old leisurely.

Whenever he thought of his son's innocent and pure smile, his tears couldn't stop flowing down. In this world, he felt that the person he was most sorry for was his son. Because of his own fault, he could no longer have a complete family. .

Thinking of this, Fang Yi slapped himself hard, blood dripping down the corners of his mouth.

At this moment, the boss who walked by handed him a few napkins. He did not comfort or encourage, but showed a look in his eyes that only adults can understand.

Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, took the napkin and thanked him. After paying the bill, he grabbed the remaining half bottle of Laobaigan and swayed toward his home.

The next morning, he woke up from his sleep, smelling of alcohol on his body and in the room. He sat on the bed, his eyes were straight, his mind was a little dazed, and he was groggy. The lingering power of alcohol had not yet receded. Glancing at the divorce certificate and the photo of the family of three on the bedside table, he felt sad.

His wife Cao Xiaohui didn't want to see him looking decadent all day long, so she took her son back to her parents' home early, leaving the house for him to stay temporarily.

There are several employees in the university cafeteria who are from the same village as him. He can think about what will happen in the village when he is fired from the school. There is no doubt that he will become the focus of the village people's talk after dinner, and all kinds of gossip. , will be spread as quickly as possible by the Roadside Society throughout the village, even across the country.

The old father, who had been proud of his son all his life, didn't know what he would think after hearing the rumors in the village. The label of family misfortune seemed to have been attached to his spine.

He slowly lowered his head, inserted ten fingers into his hair, and grabbed his scalp hard. Finally, he buried his head in his arms, shrugging his shoulders, crying silently in pain.

Now he is like a prisoner. His wife's ridicule, the school's notice that the contract will not be renewed, the villagers' rumors, the guilt for his son, the guilt for his father, etc. are like iron bars that trap him to death. in it. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

He wanted to save his marriage, but he couldn't do it; he wanted to fight for the custody of his child, but now he couldn't even support himself, so how could he support his son? He didn't want the villagers to point fingers behind his father's back, but he didn't want the villagers to point fingers behind his father's back. Nothing can be done.

Fortunately, after experiencing a period of pain and despair, Fang Yi did not sink in. His heart slowly calmed down and he began to reflect.

This time of waterloo in life made him completely awaken. He didn't want to be poked in the spine in the future. He wanted to find his own life and the stoic self he once had.

In fact, what he didn't know was that at the moment he woke up, although God closed a door for him, it secretly opened a window for him, a spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling window! It's just that he doesn't realize it yet.

When the sun began to turn to the west, he lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling of the bedroom with a pair of bloodshot eyes, recalling the past scene by scene, and tears kept rolling in his eyes.

Getting back your own life is easy to say, but for Fang Yi, who is now impoverished, no matter how full his ideals are, he is now as skinny as ever. He doesn't know where to start, and his confused brain can't figure it out.

Suddenly the phone rang, and he didn't want to answer it, but it kept ringing. What he didn't expect was that it was this call that changed his fate and allowed him to find the French window that was quietly opened.
