The day of trial.
The small Linfeng County Court was packed with people.
Ho Tung sat in the dock and cried out for justice, deliberately inciting the emotions of the crowd. Many of his supporters strongly demanded that the judge release him.
The bailiffs had to maintain order several times to allow the trial to proceed normally.
Qin Anan sat in the audience, watching the verbal battle between the defense lawyer and the prosecutor, and felt her blood boiling.
If this case happened in later times, there would be no doubt that the person would be sentenced.
However, it was 1981, and the law was still imperfect. Many details were gradually improved after various cases occurred and after the public security, procuratorial and judicial personnel did a lot of work, thus forming a large legal system that can strictly protect the safety of ordinary people in the future.
As the first case, it was of extraordinary significance. Many future legal giants traveled from far and wide to attend the trial.
Aunt Qin Chunxia sat in the viewing area, holding He Sini stiffly in her arms, and she couldn't stop shaking throughout the interrogation.
Qin Anan quietly held her hand.
"Aunt, win!" she whispered.
The moment Qin Chunxia's eyes met the little girl's, she felt reassured.
"I will win, An'an, I will definitely win!" Qin Chunxia's voice trembled, and she clenched her five fingers and held Qin An'an's hand tightly.
At the end of the trial, the prosecutor presented sufficient evidence to prove that selling one's own child was still a crime of human trafficking and that Ho Tung should be sentenced.
The defense lawyer was at a loss for words.
He Dong collapsed and pointed at Qin Chunxia and yelled, "You stinky bitch, if you don't find a way to get me out, I'll beat you to death, do you believe it?!"
He was so excited that he grabbed a chair and threw it at Qin Chunxia.
In the chaos, the leg of a chair hit the back of Qin Chunxia's hand, leaving a bloody wound.
The glaring red reflected in the eyes of He Sanni, who had been sitting obediently.
Her breathing became heavier and her heart beat faster. She suddenly ran into the courtroom and squatted on the table in front of Ho Tung like a monkey.
Holding his two shoes in his hands, he slapped He Dong's face left and right.
"I told you to hit my mom?! I told you to hit my mom?!" She beat and scolded her with all her might, as if she wanted to vent all the resentment that had been pent up in her heart for many years.
Ho Tung was trapped in the small courtroom with nowhere to escape. His hands were handcuffed and he could not fight back. He could only hold his head and let Ho Sanni beat him.
He Sanni was incredibly strong, and by the time the bailiffs pulled her away, He Dong's face was covered in blood and swollen like a steamed bun. He was missing two teeth and couldn't speak clearly.
In the end, the court found Ho Tung guilty and sentenced him to eight years in prison.
Qin Chunxia filed for divorce in court and accused Ho Tung of long-term domestic violence against her and her daughter.
Three days later, the court hearing resumed.
Ho Tung was sentenced to an additional three years in prison.
The marriage between Qin Chunxia and He Dong was dissolved, and the house they were living in was awarded to Qin Chunxia.
The moment she heard the verdict, Qin Chunxia sat in her chair, feeling a sense of melancholy. She felt as if the shackles on her ankles were suddenly opened. She no longer had to be beaten, and she could go wherever she wanted.
The He family was furious and wanted to rush up to beat Qin Chunxia, but was stopped by Qin Zheng and his men.
However, no one expected that Liu Fengying, the mother, would rush over and slap Qin Chunxia twice in the face.
"How dare you divorce me? And send your husband to jail?! You've completely disgraced our Qin family!"
"Kneel down and apologize to your mother-in-law right now, and beg her to accept you. Don't even think about going back to your parents' home after the divorce!"
"What are you still standing there for? Get down on your knees!"
Liu Fengying poked her eldest daughter's forehead viciously with her finger.
In Qin Chunxia's eyes, her expression and movements were exactly the same as when she forced herself to marry He Dong many years ago.
Qin Chunxia suddenly understood something.
It turns out that not every mother loves her children!
Everything Liu Fengying asked her to do was for her own benefit.
Feng Jingrou knew that her elder sister-in-law was filial and would just swallow her anger when being bullied by Liu Fengying. She was so angry that she wanted to rush forward to protect her elder sister-in-law.
However, before she rushed over, someone stood between Liu Fengying and Qin Chunxia.
"Mom, what are you doing? What did my elder sister do wrong?" Qin Chunli widened her eyes, furious.
"When you and Dad got into trouble, your eldest sister ran around all over the place, so anxious that she couldn't even eat. Now your eldest sister is in trouble, and not only do you not help, you're pushing her into the fire pit. Are you really our mother?"
"And me, mother, have you ever been worthy of me? Ever since I started working, I've given you all my salary. You said you'd save it for me, but where did it go? Did you spend it all on my eldest and second brothers?!"
"Are the eldest and second brothers the only ones who are your biological sons? The eldest sister, third brother, and I were all adopted?!"
It was just a complaint, but it shocked Liu Fengying so much that her face changed on the spot.
"You stupid girl, what nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Fengying cursed angrily, staring at Qin Zheng's reaction.
Qin Zheng didn't even look at her. He took Qin Chunxia's arm and pulled her to his side.
"After she gets divorced, whether she lives in a golden nest or a dog hole, she will never come to your house again." He said coldly.
He will protect his elder sister and will not let Liu Fengying abuse her again.
Qin Chunxia's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she had finally found her soul, and what she said next shocked everyone.
"Mom, this is the last time I'm calling you mom. The two slaps you just gave me have severed all the affection between us. From today on, I will sever the mother-daughter relationship with you."
"From today on, you are no longer my mother, and I am no longer your daughter!"
