Lin Yuyao was startled and looked at Fu Huaiyi.
"Any progress?"
"Well, Lu Jiangting has returned from the hospital on leave. We'll collect evidence tomorrow and then send her to the detention center. Also, the people from their village have finally agreed to come."
Lin Yuyao: "Have the villagers agreed to come? When will you come?"
"They'll come next month, almost Chinese New Year. They were initially reluctant to testify. Their chickens and pigs weren't being cared for, and the crops from their fields hadn't been harvested yet... So, they bought their chickens and pigs, and helped them harvest the crops. Anyway, I heard it took a lot of persuasion before the witness agreed to come."
The case was delayed for more than a month, not only because Lu Jiangting was admitted to a mental hospital, but mainly because the witness had not been found.
Anyway, Ye Lian expressed her understanding.
How should I put it? People from the same village are often relatives. If she didn't have a deep hatred for this family, she wouldn't be willing to do this thankless task.
Besides, it’s so far away and the Chinese New Year is almost here.
The fact that they finally decided to come shows that Wang Zhong’s family is not very popular in the village.
Just as Fu Huaiyi said, Fang Qing was indeed jailed again the next day.
When she worked in a grain and oil store, she destroyed her reputation in order to marry Lu Jiangting and lost her job.
Later, when she went to sweep the streets, Fang Qing felt that sweeping the streets was not decent enough and she missed her previous job at the grain and oil store.
Later, she lost her job as a street sweeper. When she went back, no one wanted her. Even Wang Jianjun's tricks didn't work, so she had to pick up trash.
After picking up trash for several days, she missed her previous job of sweeping the streets.
It’s not decent enough, but it’s still a stable job.
Now, she can’t even pick up the trash and she’s in detention again.
"Why are you arresting me again? The case is over. I'm the victim."
The other party said calmly, "The military accuses you of having an affair with Wang Jianguo and sabotaging Comrade Wang Jianjun's military marriage."
Fang Qing: “…”
"Isn't this going to end? Jianjun's been gone for years, who's going to sue me?"
"The plaintiff isn't an individual, but the military." He flipped to the second page and continued, "Not only are we suing you for disrupting military marriages, we're also suing you and Wang Jianguo's son for defrauding the military of child support."
Fang Qing stumbled, "What...what do you mean?"
"I believe you understand what I mean literally."
Fang Qing's face turned pale. "Those are all rumors. Rumors are not to be believed. Comrade, you have to believe me. Chenchen is Jianjun's child. Absolutely. You have to believe me..."
"It's not important that I believe you, it's important that the judge believes you."
"Take it away."
It was no use for Fang Qing to keep shouting. She tried to resist but her hands were handcuffed.
It's only been a few days since he got out, and now he's back in jail.
Wang Jianguo's parents were dumbfounded.
The first lawsuit hasn't even finished yet, and now you're being sued again?
They hadn't had time to discuss it with Fang Qing, and Fang Qing went in again?
"Oh my, this is going to be terrible. One military marriage lasted ten years, two military marriages lasted twenty years. Adding insult to injury, will this add to the crime? Old man, what does twenty years add to the crime mean? Will this lead to a direct shooting?"
Jiang Mei's tears kept flowing, she cried loudly, "God damn it, Fang Qing, that unlucky star, has really hurt Jianguo so much."
"Old man, think of a solution quickly. What should we do? What should we do... Who else can we turn to?"
Who are you looking for?
Apart from Fu Huaiyi, whom they knew, and some other connections, there was no one else here.
But they had already gone to see Fu Huaiyi, who clearly said he couldn't handle the matter and could only recommend a reliable lawyer.
He also gave them his lawyer's phone number and told them to call him if they needed help.
"Old man, why don't we find a lawyer?"
"It costs money to hire a lawyer yourself."
"Paid lawyers are definitely more reliable than free lawyers. We lost the case, maybe because the lawyers didn't pay us."
"This..." The old man thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we give it a call and ask how much it costs? If the price is acceptable, we can give it a try."
"I think it's okay."
The two went downstairs and called for consultation. Even if the other party knew that they were introduced by Fu Huaiyi and could give them a price for acquaintances, the price would still be too high for them to accept.
What was even more unacceptable to them was that the other party suggested that they file another lawsuit first.
It’s not a fight with Lu Jiangting, it’s a fight with Fang Qing.
Fang Qing said she was raped, so let's file a lawsuit and establish that she did it voluntarily.
Both lawsuits will be charged separately.
They felt they had encountered a black-hearted lawyer.
"Why split it into two lawsuits when one can resolve the issue? I think he's just trying to make more money."
"They make money by handling lawsuits for others, that's for sure."
"Alas! The people in the city are so mean, there's not a single good person. I never thought that Xiao Fu would introduce such a trap to us."
As the two were talking, they went downstairs and saw that the neighbors had been pointing fingers and gossiping about their family.
They were originally talking about their family affairs, but when they saw them coming, they all shut up.
Wang Zhong's face darkened.
Jiang Mei's face froze, and she said with some embarrassment, "The matter has not yet been determined. We believe our son is not that kind of person. We are still looking for someone to sue him, and we believe that the second-instance judge will definitely clear our son's name."
"The verdict has already been made. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to win the second trial."
"We lost because we didn't have a lawyer. I heard the other side paid a lot of money for one, but we... well, we didn't. We got a free lawyer assigned by the court. He just did whatever the other side said and couldn't help us at all. We plan to hire a better lawyer for the second trial."
After hearing what she said, the simple residents believed it to some extent.
"How can you use free services for such an important matter as a lawsuit? Can anyone speak for you properly without spending any money? No matter how much you try to save, you can't save this much."
"Yes, you're right, but the legal fees are too expensive. Furthermore, the lawyer even suggested we fight another round. I feel like that's a rip-off."
Jiang Mei talked about what she had just consulted.
Then another neighbor said, "I think the lawyer is right."
Jiang Mei was stunned. "But after spending so much money, they said they can't guarantee a win. If they did, I'd sell everything I have to scrape together the money."
"How can I guarantee that? No lawyer can guarantee you a win."
"That's right. Litigation is like that. No matter how much money you spend, it's a bottomless pit. Or as they say, poor people shouldn't sue. They can't afford it."
Yeah, I can’t afford to bother with that.
Everyone still advised them that if their son was really wronged, the money would be worth it.
Whether you make money or not is another matter, but only when it comes out can you make money.
Unfortunately, they also knew in their hearts that their son was not wronged and had really done that shameless thing.
