Tacitus in love, Plato in trap

Chapter 22 Youth?

"Ms. Yuanyang, right? Please show me your ID card."

"Give."

Fang Quan took her ID card to check, and a detail that he hadn't noticed before came into his field of vision.

"Hey, Ms. Yuan, you and I were born in the same year, the same month, and the same day!"

When the young woman sitting at the table heard his words, her eyes immediately stood up: "What do you mean? I haven't left yet, and you're starting to think about me?!"

Yuan Yang's yelling quickly attracted the attention of other people in the reception hall, and they cast concerned glances at the compartment where the first-class court was located. Fang Quan quickly apologized for his rash speech——

"Ah, sorry, I just..."

"You men are all the same thing!" With the audience, Yuan Yang seemed to speak more and more vigorously, "When you are chasing someone, you can say all kinds of bitter things, and when you chase him, you--"

"Here are the subpoenas, the power of attorney and the supervision and evaluation card." Seeing that the situation was not good, Fang Quan hurriedly stuffed the things in his hand to her, "Please sign the delivery receipt."

"okay."

Alas, it stopped.

"Then a few days ago, your mother-in-law came to get the summons from the defendant—that is, your husband. She said that your husband would also divorce you. But we told her that since you are still breastfeeding, they cannot--"

"Huh?! Is their family going to leave me? Hehe..." Yuan Yang sneered in a high-pitched voice, drawing the attention of the other people in the hall again, "You don't know, when I was in the ward with dystocia and pain When they had to yell, they actually said such stupid things as protecting the young but not the big! Is there any humanity left! Well, now that I am alive and well, they are going to divorce me again?! Ouch, since you despise me , Why did you ask me to pass the door? Hahaha, judge, you are a discerning person. Through these two incidents, I think you can see the nature of this family clearly, right? If I want to leave, they will also leave. Isn't it just right? Everyone is clean! Of course, I want to leave, and I will also take away his family's seeds, I must show them some color!"

"what………………"

As a woman who has just given birth, she is really full of energy... Although Fang Quan has tried hard to concentrate on listening, Fang Quan still can't help but wander.The woman in front of her was obviously born in the same year, the same month, and the same day as him, but she was already married, had a baby, and came to the court to file for divorce; think about the girls around me, they are either still studying, or just stepped into the world. Society, for them, life has just begun, marriage, even having children is a very distant thing for them, not to mention divorce.

Thinking of this, Fang Quan felt a little sad for this young woman named Yuan Yang—for her tragic fate, for her youth that died young.

youth... ah...

To me, this is really a rare and idiomatic word...

buzzing~~

As if he saw that he was in a predicament now, the phone rang at the right time.Looking at the caller ID, Fang Quan slightly raised his eyebrows——

"Hello, Judge Yi." In front of Yuan Yang, Fang Quan was very polite.

"Where are you? The subpoena has not been delivered yet?" Yi Zhongming was as impatient as ever.

"Basically it's over..."

"Then come back quickly! That Jia Yingchun said she found her husband."

"Huh?" It happened again. If I remember correctly, this is the third time this month alone. "She saw it again? Are you sure this time?"

"Maybe we won't know until we go to see it in person! I'll give you 1 minute, and you'll be at the gate right away. Brother Hou is already waiting."

"One point—hey, ah, I hung up..." Saying goodbye to Yuan Yang in a hurry, Fang Quan rushed out of the door of the reception room, jumped down the stairs, and ran towards the door—no matter how reluctant he was, Finding a party is a major event that can't wait.

"It seems that today will be very 'full'..." Sprinting towards the gate for a hundred meters, he could already see Yi Zhongming waving at him, "Is this... my youth?"

Is this... the youth that Yuan Yan said he was wasting?

*******************************************************************************

"Ms. Jia."

Twenty-eight hours have passed since that temporary field trip.Now, Yi Zhongming and Fang Quan, who had just finished the court session, received Ms. Jia Yingchun who had just met yesterday in the court allocated to them in the courtyard.

"It's getting late, and the court will be locked soon, so I won't play around with you." Yi Zhongming, who was leaning against the defendant's seat, paused, "We hope you can withdraw the case."

"Ah..." The young woman sitting on the plaintiff's seat was slightly startled, and after a long time, she timidly raised her head to look at Yi Zhongming, "Why, why?"

"First of all, we have been unable to get in touch with the defendant in this divorce dispute—that is, your husband, Sun Shaozu: the phone is down, and his parents refused to tell us about Sun Shaozu's whereabouts. In the end, it was proved that it was not him. You must know that divorce disputes involve personal relationships, and Sun Shaozu himself must appear in court, otherwise we cannot make a judgment in absentia."

"Oh..." Jia Yingchun nodded dumbly, wondering if she really understood what Yi Zhongming just said.

"Secondly, the prosecution materials you submitted to the court are only a marriage certificate. There is no evidence to prove the 'marital relationship has indeed broken down' and 'severe domestic violence tendency' mentioned in your indictment..."

"But these are indeed facts!" Hearing this, Jia Yingchun became a little anxious, "Then Sun Shaozu always scolded me, saying that he bought me for 50 yuan, and talking like him, what kind of husband and wife is there between us? Feelings? As for domestic violence, he always beat me black and blue, and my natal family knows about it."

"Oh?" Yi Zhongming frowned and crossed his arms, tilting his head and asked, "Then do you have any pictures of injuries?"

"I didn't stay..."

"Are the injuries on your body still there?"

"I have been separated from him for almost a year, and even the ugly scars are almost healed."

"...Do you have any records of medical treatment?"

"I didn't go to the hospital..."

"...Do you have any police records from the police station?"

"Family matters, no matter how big it is, I won't be called JC..."

"Alas..." Yi Zhongming sighed heavily, adjusted his glasses, and said to Jia Yingchun with a serious face, "There is no evidence, so we have no way to confirm your so-called 'domestic violence', no way. If confirmed, the result is..."

Hearing this, Jia Yingchun burst into tears: "Isn't the country now promulgating the "Anti-Domestic Violence Law"? Isn't it okay to have that?"

"Do you mean to apply for a writ of habeas corpus? No," Yi Zhongming shook his head regretfully, "That must be based on the applicant being able to provide relevant evidence, not to mention that you can't find your case now. Defendant, there is no direct and real danger to your body, and it does not meet the requirements of the writ of habeas corpus. You should listen to us and withdraw the lawsuit."

Then Jia Yingchun cried for a while, and finally raised her swollen peach-like eyes to look at Yi Zhongming: "Then I really found Sun Shaozu after I withdrew the lawsuit, can I come back for a divorce?"

"Well, if there is no new situation within six months after you withdraw the lawsuit, you can't come to the court to file for divorce again, that is to say..."

"Sorry," Jia Yingchun rubbed her eyes, and said with some doubts, "Judge Yi, I didn't quite understand what you just said..."

"I mean... Forget it, wait until you are 100% sure that you can find Sun Shaozu." I don't know how many times he sighed, Yi Zhongming glanced at the time, and then turned to Fang Quan, "Go, teach her how to write a withdrawal application .”

Thankfully, even though Jia Yingchun was slow writing and crying there, they still finished all the work before the court was locked.Passing through the office area where the lights were just on, Yi Zhongming and Fang Quan, who basically got off work on time, walked out of the building of the Erbing District Court against the setting sun.Sensing Fang Quan's constant staring at him, Yi Zhongming, who had remained silent all along, finally couldn't hold back——

"Tsk, what are you looking at? What did I do wrong today? I have said everything I need to say, I have done everything I need to do, and I have endured what I need to endure. I really did my best to that Jia Yingchun, Does your old man have any higher insights?"

"I haven't even spoken yet, why are you so blind?" Fang Quan felt uncomfortable walking side by side with Yi Zhongming like this outside of work, he turned his face to the side, not wanting the other party to notice his reddish color Face, "You... did it so 'right' today, you almost told Jia Yingchun that it is impossible to leave with the current evidence, and you should wait until you have been separated for more than two years! It really doesn't look like your style at all. Ah. If it is normal, I am afraid that once the announcement is delivered, they will be dismissed? Why, are you finally going to correct your evil ways?"

"Correct evil and return to righteousness? Haha..." Hearing Fang Quan's words, Yi Zhongming first gave a dry laugh, then heaved a long sigh, and said slowly, "There was a social news two years ago, do you still remember it? It was about a certain In a private lending case, the defendant took his daughter to the court session. As a result, the plaintiff saw the girl and decided on the spot that as long as she was willing to have sex with his son, he would not pursue the loan. As a result, the girl I agreed, and the case was dismissed in court.”

"Isn't that good? Whether it's for the judge or the client..."

"It's pretty good—judging from the situation at the time." Yi Zhongming stopped and waited for the red light on the sidewalk, and Fang Quan simply stood aside to accompany him. I saw..."

"What did you see—ah!" Fang Quan's eyes widened suddenly, "Could it be just now..."

"Yeah, that's why the defendant said 'I bought you for 50 yuan'." When the signal light turned green, Yi Zhongming pushed his glasses, and then walked with the flow of people, " Things will develop to this point, and everyone never thought of it. This matter was caused by our court, and we came back here after two years, so I think if I can help her a little bit in the procedure, I will feel better ..."

"Tsk tsk, you're so hypocritical, you..."

"Hypocritical? Today I sincerely—"

"Does Jia Yingchun know that you are sincere? She shouldn't have studied the law like us, right? From her point of view, you just used your power to kick her case out. She must be out of control in her heart. When the person involved is ungrateful, does your pity really make you feel better? I think you are just acting for yourself." Fang Quan put his hands in his pockets, looked up at the sky that was fading in color, "And Jia Yingchun's case today is only because you happen to know the cause and effect so well, what about the parties involved in other cases? Some of them may be more pitiful than Jia Yingchun, can you help them like today? I see you , either help everyone gently, or be 'stern and selfless' as usual, otherwise your half-hearted approach today is nothing but Ah Q-style evasion!"

"Oh~~~~~~~" Yi Zhongming raised an eyebrow, and tilted his mouth, "Now you can teach people a set of tricks, it's not bad~~"

"Who are you influenced by?!"

"You are not happy when I am cold to the client, and you are not happy when I am nice to the client. You are as elusive as some netizens." Yi Zhongming pushed his glasses, "Then you have something to do with yourself." Has the departure of identity considered this issue?"

"My identity? Clerk? Court staff?" Fang Quan scratched his head, "Ah, if we really want to help everyone, we must have more evidence. Some parties can provide it but are unwilling to provide it. We There is no other way. Some people want to provide it but they can’t. According to the application, we will go to investigate and collect evidence in person... Wow, with this efficiency, most cases will not be closed in six months, right? Then we can only be 'stern and selfless', Negatively dealing with the question of evidence—ah!"

Realizing the crux of the problem, Fang Quan was startled, and his steps stopped suddenly.

"Look," Yi Zhongming turned around, and smiled at him with a triumphant face, "Is there any difference between what you can do and what I do now?"

"Shut up!" Fang Quan lowered his head and rushed forward, "Anyway, if the situation of the parties can be confirmed, I will definitely do my best to help them. After all, I am different from you, Judge Yi. I am A person with a lot of emotion—yes! I am a different person from you! I almost got caught up in it." Before he knew it, he had come to the downstairs of the unit where he and Yuan Yan lived, Fang Quan stopped, Turning to face Yi Zhongming, he pointed at his immediate superior with one finger, "You are a negative example, I am destined to be a good judge different from you, and I will definitely do a better job than you in dealing with these problems." Even better, so the above inference is destined to be untenable!"

"Oh, really?"

Yi Zhongming narrowed his eyes slightly, and before Fang Quan could react, his outstretched hand was caught by Yi Zhongming, and under the effect of inertia, he was pulled into Yi Zhongming's arms, his forehead Almost smashed the nose of the guy who was slightly taller than himself.

"It seems that you said these words during the probationary period. You have stayed with us for so long. Do you still think so?"

The forehead was pressed against the guy's lips, and every word he said was transmitted directly into his skull, making Fang Quan's brain buzzing.

This feeling is subtly not annoying to him...

"Oh, I really can't help it. Even if you are naive, even if you are idealistic, even if you are a temporary worker with no establishment, you are still my precious clerk." Yi Zhongming sighed helplessly, "But if you still can't If you understand your job and your identity, then you are just wasting your youth."

Here we go again, wasting youth or something... One or two are talking about it, as if they know this guy named "Youth" very well.

"Hello, Fang Quan, are you back?" Hearing a familiar voice above his head, Fang Quan raised his head and looked towards a certain kitchen on the second floor. Yuan Yan was stretching his neck and yelling to him, "My meal is ready, if I don't serve it, it will be cold."

"Coming soon!"

Fang Quan returned his voice, taking the opportunity to break free from Yi Zhongming's restraint and run upstairs.Life is still the same, after dinner it is time to prepare for the exam, after the book is almost read, it is time to take a shower, and after taking a bath, it is time to go to bed chatting with Yuan Yan on the bed.

——It should be like this.

He couldn't concentrate tonight.

"Ah, by the way, how are you thinking about resigning?"

Hearing Yuan Yan throwing this question to himself, Fang Quan was stunned for a moment, then sat up slightly: "Ah, this..."

"Haven't you mentioned this to the people in your court? After the registration is completed, the exam will not be far away."

"I know... I just haven't found a chance to say it..."

"So you still decided to resign?"

"It's not so much a 'still' decision, it's better to say that I have made this plan..." Fang Quan turned his face, and the camp bed under him creaked, "It's just that if there is no one or something to push, I'm afraid Will you continue to make do and struggle in your heart?"

"Alas, after all, the postgraduate entrance examination is a matter of personal future, if you don't pay attention to it—"

"No, I'm just..." Fang Quan closed his eyes, "I fully realized——I'm wasting my youth now."

"Ah, being a clerk is time-consuming and mentally exhausting. What's more, you are just a temporary worker..."

"No, I think the word 'youth', rather than referring to time and age, is more about a person's mentality. In the past four months, I found that I have gradually stopped feeling sorry for the person involved. , I can hardly even produce emotions; at the same time, the feeling of pain in my heart has not diminished at all, why is this? After listening to Yi Zhongming’s words today, I understand somewhat—I think I probably There is still no way to face the heavy court work, right?"

"So you want to resign?" Yuan Yan sat up from the quilt here, "but you have to know that as an organ to resolve conflicts, the work of the court is destined to be heavy. If you really want to be a judge in the future, this Kan, you can't get around it."

"I don't know what will happen to me in the future. I only know that I can't do it now. Although I have been working for four months, I am still a silly student in my heart. When I am violently impacted by reality in time, I will only feel infinite fear, fear that my dreams will be shaken, and fear that I will become that disgusting person. So I want to leave this place first, go back to the campus, calm down, Take a break. I don't want my youth to end here."

Drowsiness came slowly, and Fang Quan didn't understand what he was talking about.

"So that's it, this is the 'youth' in your mind." In a daze, Fang Quan heard Yuan Yan's voice getting out of bed, "But it's okay, anyway, you are going to take the postgraduate entrance examination anyway, so I help you I will still do things like asking alumni for information.”

"Thank you, Brother Yan."

With a snap, the light is turned off, and without strong light to stimulate the vision, it is easier to fall asleep.Behind his eyelids, Fang Quan was about to fall asleep when he vaguely heard Yuan Yan's footsteps approaching his bed...
