None of them had expected that Tang Xiaofen, who usually seemed quiet, would have such a big opinion about their family.
Witness number five withdrew and no new witness came forward.
Lawyer Nie cleared his throat. "Ms. Defendant, you knew you were pregnant, yet you concealed the news and married Comrade Wang Jianjun. You also deceived him that Wang Chenchen was his child. Was that intentional?"
Fang Qing knew that the evidence was conclusive and there was no turning back, so she finally nodded.
"Yes, I know, I know I'm pregnant. But I didn't mean to lie to Jianjun, it's all their fault..."
Fang Qing pointed at Wang Jianguo and Jiang Mei and said, "After I found out I was pregnant, I proposed marrying Wang Jianguo. After all, that marriage was arranged with the Wang family. I've lived there as their daughter-in-law for so many years. As long as I marry someone from the Wang family, it doesn't matter whether it's Wang Jianjun or Wang Jianguo."
It may sound a bit outrageous to outsiders, but the villagers do accept it.
"But... I didn't expect them to refuse."
Wang Jianguo snorted coldly, "You're only a few years older than me, why should I marry you?"
Fang Qing: “…”
"Also, my mother said you're too lazy and take too long to do things. She said she wants to find me a hardworking wife."
At that time, Wang Jianguo was not yet an adult, and he really listened to Jiang Mei in everything.
Jiang Mei said Fang Qing was lazy and stupid, deliberately procrastinating at work, and was cunning and treacherous, and was only worthy of marrying Wang Jianjun.
And he deserves better.
In fact, this is only one of the reasons. The second reason is naturally because Jiang Mei can't stand seeing Wang Jianjun doing well.
Wang Jianjun had been to college and had a formal job, so she was worried that he would become a son-in-law of a high-ranking official.
There really was such a story; she had heard it from someone else.
If it really comes to that, Wang Jianjun will have a good life in the future and will be completely out of their control.
They couldn't gain any advantage from Wang Jianjun at all.
This is a result that Jiang Mei cannot bear.
So she had to use Fang Qing to trap Wang Jianjun in the Wang family.
Fang Qing was pregnant, which she thought was a good thing.
This was her eldest grandson, who later became Wang Jianjun's son and took over Wang Jianjun's life.
The son that Wang Jianjun raised with great effort is her eldest grandson. He worked hard all his life, and all of this is her eldest grandson. This is simply wonderful.
So, the following story happened.
All these words were said by Fang Qing.
"Their disdain for me was one reason, but the real reason was that Jiang Mei, the stepmother, was too cruel. Family planning allowed only one child. She wanted Jianjun to struggle his entire life for someone else's son.
As a woman, how could I dare to tell anyone that I was raped? She threatened me and tied me up tightly with them."
Fang Qing's face was already wet with tears. She took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "So I didn't do it on purpose. I was forced to do it. I had no choice. If I tell anyone, they'll be fine, but I'll be caught by the villagers and thrown into a pig cage. What can I do?"
The villagers can really do it, but they don't care about the law.
"After they put me in the pig cage, the whole village insisted I had jumped into the river and died. Outsiders were completely helpless. I was terrified, terrified, so I had to keep Chenchen's death a secret."
Fang Qing successfully portrayed herself as a helpless victim, and she thought that this would help her win.
Unfortunately, she understands human nature but not the law.
The law doesn't care whether you have your own reasons or not. If you do have your own reasons, at most the sentence will be lighter, but you will not be acquitted.
She now admits that she knew she was pregnant with Wang Jianguo's son, so naturally there will be no child support for Wang Chenchen.
In addition, her behavior constitutes illegal occupation of public property. She must return the child support she has received in recent years and go to jail.
Her final cry did have some effect, as she was only sentenced to one year and eight months.
Lin Yuyao was a little surprised, as she originally thought it would take three years.
That’s fine, there’s not much difference between three years and one year and eight months.
Fang Qing has no money. The child support for several years, several hundred yuan a year, is not a small amount when added up.
It would be better to come out early to make money and pay off debts.
After solving Fang Qing’s problem, they started the next lawsuit directly.
Fang Qing stepped back and Jiang Mei was pushed to the dock.
"Jiang Mei and Wang Jianjun do not form a foster relationship. Our request is..."
Everyone was surprised after hearing Lawyer Nie’s announcement.
You didn't say there was another case.
Fu Huaiyi whispered, "This was decided a few days ago, a last-minute addition."
Originally, they decided to cut off Jiang Mei's alimony, but they were worried that Jiang Mei would throw a tantrum, so they decided to add another case and sue her as well.
Jiang Mei was confused. "What do you mean? What do you mean by canceling my alimony? What do you mean by asking me to pay back the alimony I've received over the years?"
"You never raised Comrade Wang Jianjun, and you are not his biological mother. There is no foster relationship between you, so there is no obligation to provide for him."
"This... I've been getting it for years. Isn't it said that a stepmother is also a mother? Why can't I get it?"
"Mine, no cancellation..."
Jiang Mei kept shouting.
"Old man, please say something..."
However, it is of no use and the plaintiff's claim is directly supported.
From now on, Jiang Mei’s alimony will be stopped, and the alimony paid in previous years will also be recovered.
Although it’s not much money, just a few hundred yuan, the organization does not lack this money.
But after hearing the witness's story a few days ago, they felt that they could not let such a vicious stepmother take advantage of them, so they decided to sue.
A few hundred dollars is a lot for their family.
Wang Zhong didn't say a word throughout the whole process, looking like an idiot.
He watched helplessly as his beloved youngest son was taken away, and Fang Qing was also taken away.
Jiang Mei looked like she was crazy, sitting on the ground crying and making a fuss.
Then he was forcibly pulled out by two staff members.
The children are still waiting in the lounge.
My daughter-in-law is clamoring for a divorce...
It's over. In one night, the whole family was ruined.
The root of all this lies in him.
He suddenly remembered his wife, his first wife.
She died during childbirth due to complications.
Before she died, she asked him to take good care of their son, who was the son she had exchanged her life for. He remembered that he had promised her well at that time.
He said if he couldn't do it, he would die miserably.
His wife closed her eyes in relief after hearing his assurance.
After his daughter-in-law died, he took good care of the child, thinking that only the two of them were left to depend on each other.
At the beginning, he was actually very nice to Wang Jianjun.
But later, some bad words began to spread in the village.
They say that the son is unlucky for his mother, and that he killed his mother at birth, causing his father to become a widower.
When he walked in the village holding his son, he always saw some strange looks.
They pointed and said that the father and son were pitiful.
Gradually, he didn't dare to carry him out and left him to his mother.
