Chapter 926: The image of stinginess is somewhat deeply rooted in people's minds

After a brief moment of embarrassment, He Xuming's timely response demonstrated his professionalism. Although he had not filed many divorce cases, he had certainly heard of many bloody stories, and he quickly put on an expression of indifference.

"Secondly, it's about the distribution of property. You need to prepare evidence of the property, including the property certificate, bank statements, and especially the bank records of the money you gave her.

Also, do you know which banks she has accounts at? I could check each one individually, but it would certainly be much more convenient if you knew.

I thought about how my uncle had been the victim for so many years, so I interjected, "Can I get back the money my uncle gave to my aunt's family all these years?"

"Are you referring to the alimony for your parents-in-law or the betrothal gift? We've been married for so many years and have two children. I definitely won't get the betrothal gift back."

When He Xuming said this, the way he looked at me was different, as if it was a little... scary~

Xiao Shiqiu, however, had an expression that said 'I knew it'. My image as a stingy person has become quite ingrained in people's minds.

When my uncle heard what I said, he was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "No, no, I haven't thought about asking for the betrothal money back. Mengmeng, I know you are doing this for my own good, but, but this is too..."

I quickly explained, "No, no, I'm referring to the 6,000 yuan my aunt gives her brother every month. Can I get that back?"

He Xuming was very surprised. "Is it for your aunt's brother? Every month? Why?"

I briefly told He Xuming about the strange situation my uncle encountered. The look in his eyes when he looked at my uncle was indescribable.

He chuckled dryly and said, "Mr. Lin is such a kind man. May I ask if you transfer this monthly payment directly to your wife's brother, or do you give it to your wife and then have her transfer it?"

"Does it make any difference?" My uncle didn't quite understand. "I give her my entire salary card and only keep 1,500 yuan a month for my own pocket money. She arranges the rest of the money."

He Xuming nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Lin is such a good man. There are so many people who are not cherished these days. I have a cousin like that. She was very gentle and virtuous, but her husband had an affair outside and they divorced not long ago. Oh, and she is four years younger than you..."

Why do I feel like the tone has changed as I'm talking?

But my uncle didn't hear it and was still feeling sad. "Yes, not every sincere heart we give will be cherished."

He Xuming coughed lightly and brought the topic back on track: "In this case, then why don't we try to get a divorce by agreement first, and determine the division of property based on the results of the mutual consultation."

My uncle gave a bitter laugh. "That's probably difficult. I know Lizhen's personality. If I ask for a divorce, she definitely won't agree unless I agree to leave the house empty-handed. The other savings are fine, but the house... I bought it after selling the house my parents left behind. I can't give it to her."

He Xuming nodded with a look of understanding: "Then let's prepare for a divorce lawsuit first.

What are your thoughts on property division?

"What does the law stipulate? Half for each?" My uncle rubbed his temples wearily. "Just divide it however you want. I have no objection. It's just that I want both children... I want them both."

Then he explained, "It's not that I'm too domineering. She's pregnant now and seems to be planning to give birth. I'm worried that if she remarries, the child will be wronged if he follows her."

"I understand your perspective," He Xuming said, looking very understanding. "It's just that according to current judicial practice, if there are two children, the court will generally order each parent to raise one child. Most likely, the son will stay with the father, and the daughter will stay with the mother."

"No, I'm worried about my daughter staying with her. Lawyer He, you must help me find a way to let my daughter stay with me. At worst, you can let my son stay with him. Ziting is about to go to junior high school and is a big boy. Even if he has a stepfather, he won't be bullied so easily.

If he's having a bad time, he just needs to give me a call and I'll pick him up..."

He Xuming was a little embarrassed. "I can only try my best to convince the other party. I'm afraid that the court will force a ruling like this..."

"If it doesn't work, then I won't get a divorce. Anyway, the child is with me now." My uncle grabbed his hair in pain. Looking at him, it seemed as if someone was about to snatch his daughter away.

I couldn't help but interrupt, "Uncle, could you please stop scaring yourself? I don't think my aunt wants any children at all.

It is obvious that she is going to have a child for someone else now. After the divorce, of course she is thinking about remarrying. If she brings the child with her, it will be a burden.

What you should be considering now is that she might just throw both children to you and refuse to pay child support!"

After hearing what I said, my uncle seemed to understand and there was light in his eyes again.

But I still reminded him: "You have to think carefully. It's not easy for a man to raise two children alone, especially if you have to work. And...it will affect your chances of remarrying in the future."

My uncle shook his head without hesitation: "It doesn't matter. I don't care. As long as the child can be with me, it doesn't matter if I never get married again in this life."

After my uncle finished speaking, I secretly observed He Xuming's reaction. If he really wanted to be a matchmaker for his cousin, he probably wouldn't want my uncle to take care of two children.

But surprisingly, instead of showing disappointment, he nodded slightly and looked quite satisfied.

What does this mean? He thinks his cousin is a good mother without any pain?

He Xuming raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard this.

He pushed his glasses and continued, "It's best to wait until the child is born and have a test to confirm that he or she is not related to you by blood before filing a lawsuit.

Of course, if there is evidence before the birth of the child to prove that the child is not yours, that is also acceptable, such as a personal admission over the phone, or if she tells others who the father is.

"In order to prove that you are more suitable to raise the child, we need proof of income for the past six months, housing conditions, and your closeness with the child, proving that the child has been living with you during this period."

These are all very easy to do, and my uncle can provide very good evidence in the past six months.

"As for the division of property, as long as you can prove that the money used to buy the house was from your family and that the house was purchased before the marriage, it will not be difficult to help you get the house. You will just need to compensate the other party for the increase in value after the marriage."

Coming out of the R&D center, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my chest.

The fact that my aunt was pregnant was always a time bomb. Today I took this opportunity to let my uncle know the truth, which made me feel a lot more relieved.

Unexpectedly, my aunt called me that night.
