The court.

The courtroom.

There were four people in the dock.

Xu Anguo, Xu Ruyan, Xu Mengting, Xu Wenwan.

There are three family members of the defendant.

Su Yun, Xu Qingcheng, Xu Feng.

There was only one plaintiff, Xu Mo.

"Thump!"

The presiding judge struck the gavel.

"Defendants Xu Anguo and others, the plaintiff has accused you of intentional assault, and the injury on his head is evidence of this. Do you have any objections to this?"

Xu Anguo stared at Xu Mo and asked, "My Xu family has raised you for four years. How have we mistreated you?"

Second sister Xu Ruyan angrily rebuked: "You ungrateful bastard, we hit you for your own good, and you not only called the police to arrest us, but also sent us to court. Is this how a brother should act?"

Fourth Sister Xu Mengting's face turned ugly: "You bastard, I won't let you get away with this when you get home!"

Xu Wenwan's face was as cold as ice: "What's the difference between your behavior and that of an ingrate? We only hit you a few times, we didn't kill you, yet you've made such a big fuss? Was it really necessary?"

The defendant's family members are seated.

Xu Feng angrily said, "Brother, I will never forgive you!"

Su Yun angrily rebuked, "Xu Mo, is this something a son should do?"

Xu Mo recalled his days living in the Xu family, then looked up at the courtroom, his face expressionless.

“I lived in the Xu family's house for four years, and I didn't use a single penny of the 300 yuan monthly allowance. I've already given it to you.”

"Oh, right, I still owe you living expenses, if I remember correctly?"

Xu Mo took out a paper envelope from his backpack.

The jury members took over, counted the items, and handed them over to Su Yun.

The jury members discussed the matter.

"Giving children only 300 yuan a month for pocket money, is this how families treat their children?"

"The world is full of wonders. This family actually asked their child for living expenses at home. Is this something parents would do?"

"Their whole family is dressed in designer brands, and they all have shiny faces. They're clearly not short of money, so why can't they afford to buy this student a nicer outfit?"

"Thump!"

The presiding judge struck the gavel: "Defendant, is what he said true?"

The defendant hadn't even had a chance to speak.

The defendant's family members are seated.

Su Yun spoke first: "Your Honor, members of the jury, please don't listen to his nonsense. If we only give him 300 yuan a month, then I ask you, where does his tuition come from, and who pays his tuition?"

"Moreover, to avoid him bringing shame to the family, we haven't allowed him to do any part-time work outside, so he has no way to earn money for his studies!"

"Isn't it our Xu family that paid the tuition for Xu Mo to attend No. 27 Middle School?"

Xu Anguo's eyes blazed with fury: "You unfilial son, what else do you have to say?!"

Xu Ruyan looked disappointed: "Xu Mo, why don't you have any self-awareness? Why did you have to bring this up? Isn't this just shooting yourself in the foot?"

Xu Mengting coldly retorted, "You beast! Apologize to us right now, or I'll sue you for false accusation!"

Xu Wenwan looked at the presiding judge seriously: "Your Honor, I am a lawyer. I know that everything must be based on evidence!"

“Everything my mother said is true, and I am her witness. If the plaintiff wants to deny it, then he should provide evidence to prove it!”

Xu Feng said in a spoiled voice, "Your Honor, my brother is a student who couldn't even get into a prestigious school. How good could his grades be? Isn't it his own incompetence that he got into No. 27 Middle School?"

"Actually, it's not that Mom and Dad won't send my brother to a prestigious school, it's just that his grades are simply not good enough. So, brother! Please don't blame your family for your own incompetence, okay?"

The jury members were also involved in this matter.

"Many students, in order to attract their parents' attention and sympathy, tend to choose inappropriate methods."

"I completely agree with this. My kid just knows how to give up and slack off. Ugh, it's infuriating to even talk about it..."

"Today's students are too sensitive; they don't have the same drive we had years ago."

Presiding Judge: "Plaintiff, is the defendant's statement true?"

Xu Mo shook his head: "I didn't use a single penny of the Xu family's money to go to school. I only went because No. 27 Middle School promised to waive my tuition and apply for a large amount of financial aid for me every year."

These words shocked the entire audience.

The jury expressed skepticism.

"If this is true, then this child is far too outstanding?"

"That's true, but I don't think it's very likely. Although No. 27 Middle School is just an ordinary school, there's no need for it to break the rules for one student."

"Tuition waivers? And student grants? Is that even possible?"

In the dock.

Xu Anguo pointed at Xu Mo and cursed angrily: "You little beast, you're utterly depraved! Depraved! How could I have given birth to such a liar?"

Xu Ruyan frowned: "Xu Mo, you're ridiculous! To win this case, you're willing to slander the entire Xu family. If you don't admit the facts, don't blame me for disowning you!"

Xu Mengting frowned: "I think you haven't had enough of that big cunt, have you? Or are you just asking for trouble again?"

Xu Wenwan sneered: "Xu Mo, as your sister, I advise you to give a proper explanation and stop with these empty platitudes!"

The presiding judge and the jury all looked at Xu Mo.

They were waiting for his explanation.

Xu Mo stated frankly, "My homeroom teacher can attest to this."

In the seats for the defendant's family members.

Xu Feng: "Brother, if you continue like this, we will all really abandon you, and you will probably end up picking up trash on the streets again."

Su Yun, leaning on the table, burst into laughter: "Who doesn't know you're always holed up at home, never going out or to school? Yet you say the school invited you to study there. How can you lie in front of so many people? In my opinion, you stole my older sister's necklace to pay for your school fees!"

At this moment.

A staff member walked in.

He whispered a few words in the judge's ear.

The presiding judge frowned, then nodded in agreement.

The staff left the lobby shortly afterward.

Xia Qingyu walked into the courtroom.

“I am Xu Mo’s homeroom teacher, and I can testify on his behalf that our school not only waives his tuition fees but also provides him with a scholarship of about 7,000 yuan every year.”

The presiding judge asked, "What evidence do you have to prove this?"

Xia Qingyu held up her teacher's certificate with one hand.

The jurors approached the presiding judge.

After reviewing the documents, the presiding judge confirmed Xia Qingyu's identity.

"The teacher's certificate is fine."

The defendant's family members are seated.

Su Yun raised her hand and said, "Your Honor, don't believe this woman. She might already be having an affair with Xu Mo!"

At this time.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses and a suit walked into the courtroom.

Surprisingly, the staff did not stop him.

He tapped his eye socket with his middle finger: "If she can't prove it, then I'll prove it for her."
