Chapter 416 Evidence

When my cousin heard her beloved brother say this, her face turned red with anger.

Although she had long been disappointed with this family, after she suffered such a disaster, no one in the family felt guilty towards her.

They all said with a shameless face that it was for her own good. She was so angry that her fists were shaking.

Lawyer He whispered something to my cousin, and her expression eased a little.

"I question the statement just made by the defendant Xia Junliang.

According to the confession of the defendant Liu Baoguo, my client was knocked unconscious that night and was carried out by her father and brother.

So it’s not like he said that he knew nothing.

In addition, there is evidence that Xia Junliang was well aware that Liu Huifang insisted on asking for a fifty-dollar betrothal gift in order to buy him a car.

So the people who benefited from this case are not as innocent as he claims.”

After saying that, Lawyer He handed the USB drive to the presiding judge and played the recording in the USB drive in court.

There was a section in it where my uncle was talking on the phone with my grandmother in the hospital. My uncle was on speakerphone at the time, and I was more careful and turned on the recording function next to him.

The presiding judge instructed the clerk to play the recording in court.

The courtroom was completely silent, and soon the uncle's angry voice rang out: "You're still dreaming of receiving a betrothal gift! Jundi is in the hospital for emergency treatment. Their hospital can't save her, so she needs to be sent to City A. How dare you still think about the betrothal gift? Hurry up and prepare the medical expenses!"

After a few seconds of silence, the uncle's panicked voice rang out: "How is this possible? Mom only asked Baoguo to hide her, and didn't ask him to beat her, so why would she need to rescue her?"

Then came the sobbing voice of my aunt: "Are you deliberately lying to us? How could something happen to Jundi when she was fine? I want to talk to her. Give her the phone."

It was my uncle who was speaking again: "She's still being treated, but she hasn't woken up yet. My cousin hid her in a broken cellar in the mountains and forgot about her. It was so cold out that day, and she was barely alive when he found her.

Now that the child is lost, she's almost dead, and you're still thinking about the bride price. If you don't pay for the medical expenses, you won't have a daughter anymore."

A few seconds later, grandma's harsh voice rang out: "We didn't mean for her to get into trouble. This was an accident. If anyone is to blame, it's her own fault for not listening to the elders. If she had just cooperated and accepted the betrothal gift, wouldn't she have been able to get married in style?

Besides, it was her shamelessness that caused the miscarriage. She got pregnant before getting married. If she hadn't done such a shameless thing, how could she have miscarried due to the cold?

Be sensible. Tell her boyfriend that the medical expenses have to be paid by his family and the aborted child is his.

If his family hadn't refused to give in, this wouldn't have happened to Jundi, so the money should be paid by his family, don't come and ask your eldest brother for it."

The students behind me sighed, and some girls began to greet my grandma in a low voice.

Although they lowered their voices, I could still hear it from the people sitting in the front row. My father and uncle's faces were so dark that they looked like water dripping from their bodies.

My uncle turned his head and looked at me with a complicated look in his eyes. He should have guessed that I was the one who recorded this recording.

Another silence, and then Grandma's voice rang out again: "Tell Jundi's boyfriend that if he can cure her, the betrothal gift can be reduced. If he can't, our family will never forgive him."

My aunt choked up and said, "Mom, why don't we go to the hospital to see Jundi? After all, she is my biological daughter."

At this point in the recording, my aunt-in-law began to sob softly.
