Chapter 278 Let’s Sue
"No, it's just that people talk about it for a while. It's nothing. My mother-in-law didn't say anything."
Gu Wanxing said nonchalantly, "If there are too many lice, you don't have to be afraid of their bites. Let the storm come even harder. Anyway, she is always on the headlines of every village."
It doesn't matter anymore.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiumei felt a little relieved, but her heart and eyes were full of apology.
"Send him back to me. I need to have a good talk with him."
"I'll send you to the city. Go find a lawyer quickly. Don't worry about whether the child is close to you or not. The child will go to whoever the child is awarded to. Of course, you should try your best to get the child. If not, don't be sad. Make more money. When he's in school, he'll be close to whoever doesn't care about him. When he grows up, he'll be close to whoever has money. So money is the kingly way."
Gu Wanxing didn't want to give her sisters chicken soup, but sometimes chicken soup can help a confused person find direction.
Now Zhang Xiumei is in this situation. She doesn't know what to do or how to start. She only has an idea of divorce, but she has no direction or goal.
I'm stuck in this vicious cycle. I want a divorce, but I just stop there. I just talk but don't take any action.
"How much does it cost to hire a lawyer? The money I earn is not enough."
Zhang Xiumei smiled bitterly.
"Just ask. I don't think it's much."
"Then go ask?"
"Let's go, let's go now. Anyway, I don't have anything to do today. The most important things have been resolved, so I'll go with you."
The two drove to the legal street in the city. It seemed that there were a lot of law firms now, and a mature circle had formed on this street.
They chose a shop with a nice sign and rushed in.
There is a desk at the door, and a little girl wearing glasses is sitting inside. The doorplate outside is nice, but the inside of the house is really hard to describe. The walls are peeling, and they don’t even think of buying a bucket of paint to roll them on.
Gu Wanxing even regretted coming in. She shouldn't have just looked at the appearance.
But the little girl's bright eyes were very pleasing, so she could only make the best of it.
"Hello, comrade. We would like to consult you about a divorce case."
Upon hearing this, the little girl stood up immediately and said with a sweet smile, "Please come in, sisters. Our lawyer Yang is the best at handling divorce cases."
Faced with her enthusiasm, Gu Wanxing had the illusion that he had entered a beauty salon.
The two were taken to an office inside and met Lawyer Yang mentioned by the little girl.
A young man with a face full of beautiful pimples looked towards them.
After the greetings, Gu Wanxing and Zhang Xiumei sat opposite the young man.
"Two sisters, I heard you want to ask about the divorce lawsuit?"
Lawyer Yang looks a bit shabby, but his voice is quite nice.
At this moment and in this situation, Gu Wanxing wanted to temporarily act as a voice controller.
The office was so shabby that there was a back window with the plastic sheet on top rustling in the wind.
Gu Wanxing glanced at the sister next to her and pushed her, signaling her to speak, but she hesitated and didn't know what to say.
"You're usually so clever with your tongue. What happened to you today? Did you forget to wind it up?"
Gu Wanxing started to get impatient again. The musty smell in the room already made her want to vomit, and she was already trying her best to endure it, but this girl was still dragging her feet.
"Lawyer Yang, here's the thing. My sister wants to divorce her husband from the countryside. They have a son and a daughter, a nine-year-old son and a five-year-old daughter. The reason is that he's abusive. I've seen him once. They've been separated for over six months now. They've discussed divorce several times, but he hasn't taken it seriously and won't follow through."
She simply stated the matter, hoping to express their meaning clearly in a few words.
Yang Fan nodded in understanding. "Sister, did you leave any evidence of domestic violence? Do you have any property? How do you want to divide it?"
The young man immediately entered working mode with a very serious expression.
Zhang Xiumei also unconsciously put herself in the situation.
She said, "Our property consists of the 3,700-plus yuan I've saved from working and him doing odd jobs. It's what we've saved together over the past ten years of marriage. But he took the money last year and gave it to his mother, saying he was worried I'd invest it, so he asked her to keep it. All I want is for him to give me my share, which is about 1,700 to 1,800 yuan. It's mine. I want two children."
Lawyer Yang nodded again, then said seriously, "This is what I mean, sister. Your money may be recovered, but I don't think it will be easy to fight for child custody. At most, you can get your daughter back. Of course, if you are exceptionally well-off and can ensure your child has a better study and living environment than in the countryside, you might be able to get it. After all, you don't have evidence to prove he's committing domestic violence, right?"
Seeing that the other party had not mentioned any key evidence, he assumed that there was none.
"Another method is to ask the child. If the child has a strong desire to live with their mother, the judge will consider the child's psychology and award the case to you. The premise is the same: you still have to have the financial foundation to guarantee the child's life."
"I have them. I can support them. With my monthly salary of just 4,000 yuan, can't I support two little brats?" Zhang Xiumei said loudly and excitedly.
Lawyer Yang's eyes flashed with surprise. "Four thousand a month? Damn, that's more than he's earned in the past two, three, or four years."
The young man's expression was almost broken, and he almost couldn't hold back his tears.
"Comrade lawyer, this is the situation. What should we do? The most important thing now is that the husband thought she was throwing a tantrum and asked for a divorce. She agreed, but she just treated it as a joke and refused to enforce it."
Gu Wanxing naturally did not miss the envy in the lawyer's eyes.
I guess it’s not easy for young people to start their own business nowadays. After all, when I first arrived at this street, there were no less than a dozen law firms from the beginning.
"Then make a legal document, declare it, and if they refuse to comply, then sue them."
Lawyer Yang said.
"How much does that cost? Is it expensive?"
This is what Zhang Xiumei cares about most, and she looks at the other person with hope in her eyes.
The guy couldn't figure it out at once.
Yang Fan opened his mouth, then forced out a smile uglier than tears. "Our fees are as follows: Legal interpretation involving property relations is 2 to 8 yuan per case. Drafting a written complaint involving property is 10 to 30 yuan. Civil cases involving property are 100 to 200 yuan per case."
There is another standard he didn't mention, that is, those with property below 5,000 are exempt from the fee, and those above that will be charged a 3% fee.
She only paid 3,000 yuan for this, which definitely does not meet the charging standard.
"What if there is no property?"
"It's cheaper to have no property. Don't you have property?" the young man said with a look of despair.
He only earns 4,000 yuan a month, so do we still have to calculate his labor fee like this?
Alas, it turns out that married women are the most difficult to deal with.
In just twenty minutes, the two sisters didn't know that the young man had decided not to get married in the future.
"Okay then. We'll give you full authority to help us with this matter."
