Chapter 1032 Wang Shouyi’s Persuasion to Rent a House

Zhou Chen can understand Xia Jie's pain.

Since her father's death, her mother's overdependence and care have put her under a lot of pressure.

After working, the care she received from her employer, the care she received from her master, and the looks her colleagues gave her made her already sensitive and put even more pressure on her mentally.

She wanted to change, but she couldn't break free from her mother's cage, nor could she change the views of her colleagues. Over time, she could only suppress it in her heart and bear the pain alone.

"Xia Jie, if you want to get out of this predicament, you must make changes."

"Change?"

Xia Jie raised her head and stared at Zhou Chen hopefully with her red eyes.

"Do you have any idea?"

Zhou Chen said slowly: "When you feel that you can't bear it, you should make changes and not just obey. After all, you are an adult and working, and you are no longer a child who needs protection; if If you can’t change this concept yourself, then it’s destined to be this way, so you have to make changes.”

"Then how do I change?"

"Resist."

"Resist?"

"You know the rebellious psychology of children. The more you suppress them, the more they want to resist. This is your current mentality. It's just that you lack the determination of children to resist. You are always compromising, so in the end You are the only one who suffers."

Xia Jie hesitated and said, "You want me to rebel against my mother and master? How is this possible? My mother is the only relative left to me, and my master is also for my own good. How can I selfishly hurt them?"

"Look, so you're asking for this."

Zhou Chen spread his hands: "You just believe that as long as you resist, you are hurting them, but you have never thought that sometimes this kind of resistance and harm is not a bad thing."

"Let's talk about your mother. Although I have never met her, I can see her character from her behavior. Do you think you can work with peace of mind if she continues like this and hinders you like this? She can't live without her. You, if you fall in love and get married in the future, will you continue to live with her? Even if I are willing, your mother may not..."

"etc."

Xia Jie, who was listening attentively, suddenly interrupted when she heard this sentence and stared with big eyes.

"What do you mean you are willing?"

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Don't think so much. Seeing that you are sad, I made a joke to you to ease your mood."

Xia Jie glared at Zhou Chen angrily: "Don't make fun of me next time."

Zhou Chen pretended to be dissatisfied and shouted: "Why, do you think I'm not good enough for you? Xia Jie, take a good look at me. I'm pretty handsome, talented and rich. The most important thing is, you and me If you leave me, you don’t have to worry about your parents-in-law, and..."

"Stop, stop, stop."

Xia Jie quickly stopped Zhou Chen: "The more you talk, the more you talk, the more you talk, the more you talk. It's my business now, can you please stop distracting me."

But it was no longer possible to hide the blush on her face, and her heart was pounding.

"Okay, let's get back to what I said just now. The most important thing is to learn to resist. Asking you to resist is not about confronting you, but to resist selectively. You must learn to refuse some unreasonable demands. The same goes for your mother, and the same goes for Cheng Suo."

"You have to let them feel subtly that you have your own ideas and cannot just accommodate them. It may make them unhappy at first, but as time goes by, they may feel your determination and they may change. "

Xia Jie asked doubtfully: "Is this really okay? You don't know my mother. She is like that, really..."

She didn't know what to say. She was very aware of her mother's problems, but she didn't have the courage to ask her to change.

"How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it? Your mother is only in her forties. She has many more years to live. She has to have her own life. You have to try to let her leave you and live her own life."

Zhou Chen has watched the TV series and knows what kind of person Xia Jie's mother is. She is very capable and very dependent on others. She used to rely on her husband, but later she relied on her daughter.

It can be seen from the plot of the TV series that she needs others to arrange everything. She is just like a eldest lady, sitting back and enjoying the results. Why she ended up with that man later was not because of anything else, but because he could accommodate her. Following her, she is the kind of person who needs someone to take care of her at heart.

So as long as she can find someone who can take Xia Jie's place, she will definitely not keep staring at Xia Jie.

Although Xia Jie's mother is very capable, there is no shortage of people in the world who can tolerate her. In this world, dog lickers of all levels exist.

"What about my master?"

"This depends on your own efforts. Just words are useless. You must take practical actions and let Cheng Suo see your progress and your abilities. You need to be hardworking yourself. If you perform well enough, Excellent, I think even Cheng Suo will change."

Zhou Chen knew that Xia Jie had a good personality, but she had a soft ear and was not very mobile. She doubted herself easily, but she was also very stubborn and not adaptable.

In short, I still haven’t experienced the torture of society, my self-regulation ability is too poor, and I get obsessed too easily.

Suddenly, a weak voice sounded behind them.

"What are you doing?"

Xia Jie was frightened and stood up suddenly. She turned around and saw Zhao Jiwei, and she was immediately furious.

"Zhao Jiwei, could you please stop talking so suddenly next time, you know?"

Zhao Jiwei said aggrievedly: "I came over and there was a sound, but you were too immersed in it and didn't hear it."

Zhou Chen said: "Zhao Jiwei, you need to be more discerning next time. Didn't you see that we were whispering? If you had come a little later, I might have captured Xia Jie."

"Take your head."

Xia Jie was angry and embarrassed and faced Zhou Chen for a moment, then stamped her feet twice and left angrily.

Zhao Jiwei looked at Zhou Chen with incredible eyes, as if he had discovered a new world.

"Are you in a relationship?"

"Tell me about you."

Zhou Chen stood up: "We have only known each other for a week, how can it be so fast?"

Looking at Zhou Chen's back, Zhao Jiwei muttered: "That's hard to say."

As soon as Zhou Chen opened the door and walked in, he saw Li Dawei walking out.

"Zhou Chen."

"Officer Chen and the others haven't solved it yet?"

Li Dawei shook his head: "No, I just went over to take a peek, and I'm still in the mediation room. There was quite a fuss. The woman's husband is here. Her husband is not as brutal as her, and he wants to apologize and reconcile." , but Li He’s father doesn’t agree and is making trouble inside.”

"It's normal not to agree to mediation. My daughter was hit, slapped, and her clothes were torn. No one else would agree to mediation."

"Yes, Zhao Hong deserves it. She is so arrogant for going against the grain. According to me, she should be detained for a week and let her reflect on it."

Li Dawei's face was scratched by her. He had a lot of hatred for the fat woman Zhao Hong and wished she could be detained.

"Just say this in front of me. Don't say it in front of the director and your master, otherwise you will have to be punished again."

"Hey, what is this? I worked so hard to mediate, but my appearance was disfigured, and I have to worry about being punished. It's too difficult."

Li Dawei touched the scars on his face and lamented, feeling that he was really unlucky today.

While talking, Yang Shu also walked over with a sad look on his face.

"Yang Shu, what's your expression? A sad face?" Li Dawei asked curiously.

Yang Shu shook his head and said, "Nothing."

In fact, he and his master Cao Jianjun rescued a man who jumped from a building today, but when he came back, he was scolded by the director, saying that they were too impulsive and did not wait for the fire department to arrive. What if something happened?

In fact, he felt that what the director said made sense, but after following Cao Jianjun for a few days, he also understood part of his master's character, and they did save people.

So he was troubled in his heart and it showed on his face.

"Zhou Chen, Li Dawei, follow me."

Wang Shou came over and called Zhou Chen and Li Dawei to the side.

"Director."

"You two were responsible for the case of Zhao Hong and Li He first. The instructor, myself, and Lao Chen have been persuading each other for more than an hour. Zhao Hong and her husband are willing to reconcile, but Li He's father is not. To reconcile, we still have to take our daughter for an injury assessment, saying that Zhao Hong will be put in jail, which is very difficult to handle."

After hearing Wang Shouyi's words, Li Dawei said: "What's the problem? It was Zhao Hong who was at fault. He hit the person first. It's normal that his father doesn't want to reconcile. If it were me, I wouldn't reconcile either."

"you shut up."

Wang Shouyi glared at Li Dawei angrily: "Our police station is for mediating conflicts. If we are like you and just arrest people and lock them up when something happens, what's going on?"

"Zhou Chen, Li He's father wants to do an injury assessment. Was it your idea?"

Zhou Chen didn't feel guilty at all: "Yes, I told him that he could conduct an injury assessment. There were blood marks on Li He's face. This is a crime of intentional injury. If the injury is serious, he can be sentenced."

"Okay, Zhou Chen, Li Dawei wants to be detained. You are more powerful than him. You are thinking of being sentenced. What do you think? As for that?"

Wang Shou looked at Zhou Chen with a headache. He originally thought that Zhou Chen was mature and steady, which was more in line with his way of doing things, but now it seems that, good guy, Zhou Chen is more ruthless than Li Dawei.

"Director, it's not that we decide, but Li He's parents decide. Don't advise others to be good without their suffering. If this kind of thing happens to us, we will definitely be like Li He's father. I won’t be lenient.”

"It's a slap, but it's not just a slap. This slap may make Li He resist doing good deeds. More seriously, it may have a great impact on her heart. She's right. Why should she have to suffer such consequences? She can't protect herself, but her parents can protect her, and we police can protect her."

"And that Zhao Hong, if we bypass her so easily this time, will she remember the lesson? She may get worse in the future..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking."

Wang Shou's head was even bigger. He covered his waist with one hand and his head with the other.

"I'm really unlucky. You, a newbie, are telling me great truths as a director. The key point is that I can't refute you. As expected of a college student, you are well-educated."

"But you have to understand that we are the police and cannot instigate others based on subjective judgment. You are violating the regulations."

Zhou Chen said: "Director, I didn't instigate them. I just told them that they had this choice. Whether they go or not has nothing to do with me."

"you……"

Wang Shouyi was choked and speechless: "Okay, I can't help you. You two come with me. Li He's parents want to see you."

Zhou Chen and Li Dawei looked at each other and followed him. Before entering the mediation room, Wang Shouyi said something to Zhou Chen again.

"Zhou Chen, I know you are very smart and have your own ideas. Because of this, you know better what is best for the Li family. In a situation like Zhao Hong's, the maximum punishment is less than three years, but in most cases The probability is impossible, and the most you can do is to be detained for a period of time."

"I'm not excusing her. Her situation is very bad, and I hate it deeply. But you should have seen what kind of person she is. If you mess with her desperately, you can get her imprisoned, but you Have you ever thought about when she comes out? Will she cause trouble to the Li family again? "

"The three members of the Li family seem to be a good family at first glance. If they are stalked and pestered by Zhao Hong at all costs, what will happen? Have you considered what will happen?"

After hearing this, Li Dawei retorted unhappily: "She is the perpetrator, and the Li family is the victim. Is it because of this that the Li family has to compromise?"

Wang Shouyi didn't answer him, but looked at Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen's expression was calm: "Director, to be honest, I don't really agree with what you said, but it is undeniable that your statement is not wrong, but it is because of this that you have so many concerns, which is rare in the world. In the world of adults, right and wrong may not come first, but everything must be chosen by the Li family themselves."

"But what I want to express is that if something like this happens to me, I will fight to the end and let Zhao Hong receive the punishment he deserves."

"You, you, you really impress me."

Wang Shou pointed at Zhou Chen and sighed repeatedly.

Zhou Chen understood what he meant, but he also explained his attitude. He used to think that Zhou Chen was mature, steady, smart and sensible. Now it seems that Zhou Chen is not only eloquent, but also hates evil and has a tough mentality.

He didn't know how to evaluate Zhou Chen, but now he was sure that Zhou Chen's character was probably not something he could change, and it was harder to lead than the other four newcomers.

Zhou Chen and Li Dawei saw Li He's family in the mediation room, and Guan Jinghao's family who arrived later.

Guan Jing was on the same path as Li He. Although Guan Jing was fine, her parents still rushed over and confronted Zhao Hong with the Li family.

"Officer Zhou, Officer Li."

When Li He's parents saw Zhou Chen and Li Dawei, they were very polite and stepped forward to shake hands.

Both children said that it was Li Dawei and Zhou Chen who helped them when they were in danger, so their parents are very grateful.

"Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, Mr. Guan, Mrs. Guan."

Everyone sat down in harmony. Wang Shouyi and instructor Ye Wei also sat down and took the opportunity to talk about the mediation between the two parties.

In fact, they had already said a lot, but the two families only wanted to make Zhao Hong pay the price and did not pay attention to their persuasion at all.

Wang Shou kept winking at Zhou Chen and Li Dawei, asking them to speak. Li Dawei pretended not to see and turned a deaf ear, and just didn't speak. An angry Wang Shou blew his beard and glared.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Guan."

Seeing Zhou Chen speak, Wang Shouyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Chen did not persuade the Li family and the Guan family to mediate exactly as Wang Shouyi thought. Instead, he explained the relationship between reconciliation and non-reconciliation clearly and let the two families choose for themselves.

When Zhou Chen was narrating, the parents of the two girls listened very carefully, frowning from time to time, as if they were reluctant.

On the same day, both families went back, and Zhao Hong was taken back by her husband. However, if the two families are unwilling to reconcile, Zhao Hong will still be legally responsible, and will still be imprisoned, and fined and compensated. Penalty compensation.

Zhou Chen drove to work today. When he came in the morning, he was alone, and when he returned in the evening, there were four people.

Yang Shu wanted to see the house, and Li Dawei followed, and by the way, Zhao Jiwei was also dragged here.

"Well, now I finally know how difficult it is to be a grassroots police officer. Sometimes you really can't even tell the difference between right and wrong. What is right is not necessarily right, and what is wrong is not necessarily wrong. What the hell is this?"

Li Dawei, who was sitting in the co-pilot next to Zhou Chen, couldn't help complaining loudly. What happened today made him feel particularly unhappy.

Yang Shu also had some insights today. After hearing Li Dawei's complaint, he persuaded: "Sometimes it is like this, right or wrong only depends on the position. I also understand now that what you learn from reading is knowledge, and you want to make good use of the knowledge." , we still need to go to the grassroots and understand the basic people’s sentiments in order to do better.”

Zhao Jiwei said cautiously: "Why do I feel that you are not in a good state today?"

"There's nothing wrong. I just feel that many things are not as beautiful as you think. You will get used to it gradually."

Zhou Chen knew that what happened today had a big impact on Li Dawei, but he was not worried about Li Dawei. This boy was very optimistic, but he felt that he would be able to recover soon.

Li Dawei rolled his eyes: "You sound like you are very experienced. How far is it from your home? We have been driving for more than ten minutes."

"It's just a turn at the next traffic light. Normally it takes twenty minutes. If there's a traffic jam, it's a little slower. It's already pretty good."

"Yes, although the house my mother rented for me is not far from the police station, it takes about ten minutes to drive. My home is further away, it takes an hour."

Li Dawei owns a car, so he doesn't think that a 20-minute journey is nothing.

A few minutes later, Zhou Chen's car drove directly to the door of his small courtyard. There was no separation of people and cars in an old-fashioned community like theirs. Wherever there was parking, there were basically people parking, but Zhou Chen had a building after all. Man, I still have some small privileges in the community, and I don’t have to worry about parking.

After getting off the bus, Li Dawei and the three of them stood side by side, looking at the six-story building in front of them in the same posture.

"Zhou Chen, does this entire building really belong to you?"

"Otherwise? Let's go in and have a look."

Zhou Chen said hello to the two passing tenants and led Li Dawei and the others into the small courtyard.

"This small courtyard is okay, it's quite big."

"Of course, it's almost seventy square meters. I'm not bragging. In this community, the small courtyards of my building are the largest and the best located. Even the small courtyards are not blocked and there is plenty of sunshine. ."

It is a multi-story building with a total height of six floors, and the distance between the buildings is okay, so even if it is on the first floor, there is no need to worry about sunlight.

Li Dawei praised: "With such a big yard, it will definitely be comfortable to live in. The elderly like this the most."

"Let's go inside and have a look."

There is also a balcony on the first floor, which can be used as a floor-to-ceiling window, but Zhou Chen and the others did not have a floor-to-ceiling window. Instead, they left a small part of the wall below, more than ten centimeters above the courtyard floor. According to the words of his late grandfather, it was to prevent flooding when it rains. .

The door is the glass door of the balcony, you can go in by raising your feet slightly.

"Although this house is ten years old, it is in good condition, especially the two units we live in. The old man cherishes it very much. There is no furniture on the first floor anymore. The old man has already moved it back to his hometown. The master bedroom on the first floor used to be The old man lives here, but he hasn’t lived here since he got sick, and everything is new. The old man is very particular about it, and he can’t persuade me even if he’s afraid of causing trouble for me.”

"This house is more than 130 square meters. Because there is no elevator and it was built relatively early, the usable area is still very large. It is nearly 120 square meters. Let me show you."

Zhou Chen took Li Dawei and the three of them around the first floor, looking at everything from the living room to the rooms.

"Let's go to the second floor and have a look."

I will correct the mistake tomorrow. My head hurts too much today.
