Chapter 182: If the First Trial Fails, There's a Second Trial (Page 1/2)
Although it is old, the writing on the paper is still clear.
The above content was written word for word by Chen's father, with the signatures and handprints of Chen's father and mother at the end. In addition to the signatures of Chen's father and mother, the blank space below is also filled with the names of village cadres and elders who were present at the time.
With the previous experience of Qiqi's notice, Chen Baomei did not intend to take out the original document at the beginning.
She drove to a printing shop outside to make a few copies, then put the originals back and brought them out when she needed them in court.
Then we drove to the resettlement area of Dongping Village to visit several elders who were still alive.
When Shen Ru learned that Chen Baolan had actually sued her mother in court, she was so angry that she started cursing.
"My aunt is outrageous! She's been abroad for so many years, how dare she argue with you about the demolition compensation? We treated them to good food and drinks before, but we didn't expect them to repay their kindness with such ingratitude. What a family of sophisticated egoists."
Her mother took care of her grandparents until their death.
Moreover, both elders died of underlying diseases, and my aunt did not pay a penny for the medical expenses.
When she was asked to contribute money and labor, she pretended to be dead, and only contributed when there was profit to be made.
How shameless.
Chen Baomei: "Money moves people's hearts. Anyone would be tempted by a huge sum of tens of millions of dollars."
Chen Baolan went to the resettlement area of Dongping Village and must have learned from the villagers how much demolition compensation she received.
In addition, she also knew that she had bought a villa and was very wealthy, so she would definitely not give up easily.
Shen Ru: "Mom, you don't really want to give her some money, do you?"
"Of course not!"
To be honest, if Chen Baolan had a clearer sense of boundaries and a better attitude, she could also give her a share of the land and property left by her parents for the sake of their sisterhood.
Unfortunately, she has no attitude and even less family affection.
It was clearly their family that was causing trouble for him, but they acted condescendingly and looked down on him.
Who would want to care about such a person?
"That's good."
Shen Ru didn't want to let such a relative take advantage of her for nothing.
"I have the will made by your grandparents. She can't take a penny from me."
Chen Baolan thought she would definitely get the money by suing, but unfortunately the reality was not as she wished.
When Chen Baomei took out her parents' will, Chen Baolan was first incredulous, and then she kept shouting that Chen Baomei's will was fake and forged.
"My parents love me so much, how could they really make such a will!"
"I don't believe it. You must have forged it on purpose because you didn't want to share my property!"
In response to her doubts, Chen Baomei said generously, "We can send it to a professional authentication agency to authenticate the paper and handwriting. The will was written more than 20 years ago. I believe it cannot be forged."
Seeing Chen Baomei so confident, Chen Baolan was stunned for a moment.
So it is possible that the will is real.
She shook her head suddenly. "No, my parents don't know anything. It's impossible for them to think of making a will. Anyway, I don't recognize this will. I want a fair and just redistribution of my parents' inheritance, and then divide the demolition compensation according to the inheritance shares. I want to take the part that I deserve."
As she spoke, Chen Baolan couldn't help but accuse Chen Baomei.
"Sister, all the real estate is inherited from you and your parents. I just went abroad, not lost. I also have the right to inherit my parents' things. You shouldn't hold on to my parents' property. I am your biological sister. You even ignore your biological sister for money. When you die, won't you feel guilty towards your parents?"
"For a little money, you disregarded your family and siblings. If your parents knew, they would definitely be very sad."
She said this with such sincerity that it seemed as if Chen Baomei was a heartless and ungrateful person who disregarded family affection because she did not agree to divide the property.
Chen Baomei scoffed, "I should be telling you this. My parents were seriously ill and dying at the time, and they asked you to come back to see them, but you refused. Don't you feel guilty towards them?"
"You were unfilial first, ignoring your parents. That's why they left everything to me. Now that you've returned and seen the benefits, you've forgotten how good your parents were to you. Your parents love you dearly, but how have you treated them? You refused to contribute money or effort, and even claimed that a daughter who's married off is like spilled water, and has nothing to do with them anymore."
"Don't use excuses like the distance and the inability to return. It took several years for them to fall ill and pass away, and you didn't even come back to see them. It's clear you don't care about them at all. You don't even care about your parents, and you're talking to me about sisterly love."
"People are all made of flesh and blood. If you, like me, take care of your parents' food, clothing, housing, transportation, and medical care, and support them until the very end, I believe they will not leave you nothing."
Chen Baomei scolded her a lot, and many people present looked at Chen Baolan.
Chen Baolan, who was sitting in the plaintiff's seat, felt extremely uncomfortable and uneasy when her sister exposed her true identity.
She originally wanted to refute that she was unable to come back to see her parents off because she was unable to leave, but unfortunately Chen Baomei had shut her mouth with facts in advance.
It is true that Chen's father and mother became seriously ill one after another, and it took three or four years for them to pass away.
If it was an emergency and there was no time, it would be fine, but there were three or four years in between, and if Chen Baolan had come back once, she would have a point.
Unfortunately, she had decided not to come back in her lifetime and didn't want to care about her parents far away in her homeland.
Chen Baomei's constant overseas calls made her feel annoyed, and she finally changed her phone number and unilaterally cut off contact with her parents' side.
Who could have thought that things would change so quickly, and her parents' home, which she thought was shabby at the time, would suddenly be demolished and transformed into a home with tens of millions in wealth.
They came back this time because they were increasingly unhappy with their lives abroad. After hearing that China's economy was developing rapidly, they thought of returning to China to see if there were any good development opportunities.
If she had known that her parents' family would have such a good fortune, she would have returned to see her parents to the end, no matter how difficult and dangerous it was.
Of course, although Chen Baomei cursed to her heart's content, what matters in court is evidence.
However, Chen Baomei was well prepared. She not only had a will, but also witnesses.
Inheritance law follows the principle of will priority. Considering that Chen Baolan had not actually provided any support to the two elders, the court rejected Chen Baolan's request to divide the demolition compensation.
After leaving the court, Chen Baolan's face was as black as ink.
Chen Baomei greeted him with a smile.
"Baolan, don't be so angry even though you lost the lawsuit. We're old, and if we keep sulking, we age quickly. Look at you, you're so old, yet you're still so petty. Have you ever looked in the mirror? I think you've aged a lot."
When they first met, she kept saying that she was old. Although Chen Baomei didn't mind age, she didn't feel good being stared at and told how old she was.
Now that we've fallen out, I'll just throw these words back at her.
"Don't be too complacent! If the first trial doesn't work, there's still the second trial. I won't give up." Chen Baolan gritted her teeth in hatred, and her words seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
