Welcome to the 80s—
Zheng Dandan unexpectedly transmigrated and bound a supermarket system. She does business, gains experience, and upgrades to unlock various products: grain, oil, rice, n...
"Qiuju, what's wrong with you?" Sun Qiuyu asked with concern and surprise when he saw Wu Qiuju's distraught look.
"Zheng Dandan is suing me," Wu Qiuju replied dully. The next moment, she suddenly erupted in emotion and lunged at Sun Qiuyu. "That damn niece of yours is suing me!"
"She dares?" Sun Qiuyu frowned, his face full of murderous intent.
"Why wouldn't I dare? The court has given me the subpoena!" Wu Qiuju took out the subpoena handed to her by the court staff, tears streaming down her face, and looked at Sun Qiuyu for help. "Qiuyu, what should I do?"
"This is outrageous. I'm going to find her!" Sun Qiuyu said angrily.
He almost never had a head-on confrontation with Zheng Dandan. Although he knew that she had become successful now, in his heart, Zheng Dandan was still the same spoiled and useless girl.
In addition, the concept of Thunder God in the sky and Uncle in the earth is deeply rooted in his mind. He has always felt from the bottom of his heart that Zheng Dandan and his siblings should respect him with all their heart, even more than they respect their parents.
"Will this work?" Wu Qiuju was a little skeptical. Zheng Dandan was not an easy person to talk to.
"Why is it useless? If she dares to disobey me, I will break her legs!" Sun Qiuyu said confidently and domineeringly. After that, he went to the Sun family's two elders to ask for Sun Cuilan's address. "Mom and Dad, where does Sun Cuilan live?"
"Why are you asking this?" Sun's mother frowned, a trace of guilt flashing in her eyes.
Everyone in the village knew that they went to the county town to find Sun Cuilan that day. The two elders of the Sun family were very concerned about their reputation, so when the villagers asked about the situation, they replied that Sun Cuilan had apologized to her and respectfully entertained her at home.
But in fact, she didn't even know which street Sun Cuilan lived on.
"That black-hearted Zheng Dandan actually sued Qiuju and even sent someone to serve a subpoena. I'm going to find her!" Sun Qiuyu said to his mother.
"What?" Mother Sun was stunned, then frowned tightly. She stared at Sun Qiuyu and said sternly, "Son, you are not allowed to go!"
That night at the radio station, she deeply felt how powerful Zheng Dandan was, and she still felt scared when she thought about it. Therefore, she was very worried that the hot-tempered Sun Qiuyu would suffer.
Sun Qiuyu was puzzled. He looked at his mother questioningly, "Why not let her go? Are we just going to let her sue Qiuju?"
"Your wife offended her, let her apologize herself. Why would a man clean up the mess?" Sun's mother said righteously with a stern face.
"Mom..." Wu Qiuju came over and heard what Sun's mother said. She said aggrievedly, "Qiuyu is Zheng Dandan's uncle after all. We are related by blood. If I go, she will definitely not forgive me."
"Plead with her more, bow to her, kneel down to her, and even kowtow to her if that doesn't work. How can she not forgive you? Don't always expect your man to solve the trouble you've caused. You should bear the consequences of your own actions yourself!"
Sun's mother was completely ruthless and refused to believe Wu Qiuju's lies. Zheng Dandan was just as heartless as her mother, and she didn't care about blood ties at all!
Hearing what Sun's mother said, Wu Qiuju was incredulous. "I'm her elder, how can I kowtow to her?"
"That's right, it's outrageous!" Sun Qiuyu echoed.
"What's wrong with that? When she's picking on the younger generation, why doesn't she think about herself as the elder? If she wants to go, then go. If she doesn't want to go, I won't force her."
Sun's mother's attitude was very ruthless, completely different from her cheerful look a few days ago. She had completely changed her expression.
"Mom, I'd better go find Zheng Dandan." Sun Qiuyu frowned, strongly disagreeing with her mother's suggestion.
"You are not allowed to go!" Sun's mother scolded sternly upon hearing this.
Wu Qiuju looked at her strong mother-in-law, then glanced at her silent father-in-law, and her eyes finally fell on her angry husband.
"Okay, I'll go ask her," Wu Qiuju said slowly. It was still autumn, but she felt a chill in her heart for no reason. "Please tell me where Zheng Dandan lives."
"I forgot." Mother Sun's expression was very stiff. She was in a dilemma, but suddenly she had an idea. "You can go to the county town and ask someone for help."
"Who are we looking for? We are unfamiliar with the county town, how do we know who knows Sun Cuilan?" Sun Qiuyu frowned.
"How stupid!" Sun's mother glared at Sun Qiuyu, then looked at Wu Qiuju. "After you arrive in the county town, ask anyone on the street for directions to the radio station. Then, ask someone at the radio station to help you broadcast the news and search for her. Zheng Dandan will come over when she hears the news."
"Forget it." Wu Qiuju shook her head, her eyes dark. She suddenly felt very tired and didn't want to struggle any more.
There is only a critical point between persistence and giving up.
"What do you mean by forget it?" Sun's mother was very dissatisfied with Wu Qiuju's words. She had just said that she would not force Wu Qiuju, but she just thought she would not refuse. If Wu Qiuju really lost the lawsuit, how embarrassing would it be for the Sun family?
"I don't want to go anymore. Let Zheng Dandan sue. Anyway, I have received the subpoena. I am waiting for the trial." Wu Qiuju said with a look of despair on her face.
"Are you kidding me? I told you how to find Zheng Dandan, and you actually told me you didn't want to go!" Mother Sun looked at Wu Qiuju angrily, "I'm warning you, if you get sued, I'll let Qiuyu divorce you!"
"There is no divorce in the new era, and I will not agree to divorce." Wu Qiuju looked at Sun's mother and said in a flat tone, without any of the flattery and respect from before.
When Sun's mother saw that Wu Qiuju dared to disobey her, she immediately became furious and started scolding Wu Qiuju.
Wu Qiuju listened expressionlessly, occasionally picking out loopholes in Sun's mother's words and refuting them.
Adding fuel to the fire, Sun's mother's verbal abuse became more and more intense.
In the following days, the Sun family spent almost every day in chaos.
On the day of the trial, Wu Qiuju was taken to the court.
Wu Qiuju originally thought she had become numb, but on the way to the court, the fear of being forced to oppress and ignore quickly invaded her again.
"...Permission to participate in the proceedings is granted. Court is now in session."
At the trial, the judge struck the gavel.
The crisp sound scared Wu Qiuju so much that her legs went weak and her whole body trembled.
"Your Honor, I was wrong. I will never do it again!" Wu Qiuju broke down and cried.
"Silence!" The judge frowned and looked at Wu Qiuju, scolding her in a stern tone.
Seeing this, Wu Qiuju was like a cat whose neck was suddenly pinched, and she became silent in an instant.
The subsequent trial went smoothly.
As Cheng's top lawyer, Lawyer Zhuang possesses formidable professional skills, while Wu Qiuju cowers in defeat, unable to resist.
In the end, Wu Qiuju was sentenced in court to make a public apology to Zheng Dandan in Ginkgo Village and pay a total compensation of 250 yuan.
"If the defendant has any objection, he may appeal to the higher-level People's Court within ten days of the delivery of the judgment." The judge looked at Wu Qiuju and said.
Wu Qiuju was already frightened, so how could she dare to object?
"Your Honor, what can I do if I don't have any money? I'm willing to apologize, but I really don't have any. My mother-in-law holds all our family's money, and she won't compensate me."
