Chapter 57: Shen Xingguo and Gao Xiuyun were sentenced
Shen Qin smiled bitterly.
"Dad, you still don't understand. You and Mom have become strangers since the divorce. Legally speaking, her property has nothing to do with you. It doesn't mean she will forgive you just because you don't share it."
Shen Qin touched his head and found that since his parents divorced, his life had been getting worse and worse.
If his father hadn't been caught cheating, his mother would never have divorced him.
If we hadn't divorced, my mother wouldn't have been so upset and become what she is now.
Thinking of this, Shen Qin felt a little more resentful towards Shen Xingguo.
"If you're sentenced, not only will my future be affected, but our children won't be able to take the civil service exams. Dad, you really shouldn't have done that."
Shen Xingguo didn't care about the accusations in his words. He was like a drowning man who suddenly grabbed a straw.
He grabbed Shen Qin's sleeve and said excitedly, "Yes, I broke the law. My descendants can't take the civil service exam and join a state-owned enterprise."
"Go talk to your mother. She's an ignorant old woman who definitely doesn't understand any of this. Explain the stakes to her and she'll definitely drop the lawsuit for the children!"
Shen Xingguo couldn't wait and wanted to fly out immediately to explain things to Chen Baomei.
If you can’t pass the civil service exam, you can’t get a job in a state-owned enterprise.
In the minds of the older generation, there is no job more decent and stable than working in a state-owned enterprise.
Even if Chen Baomei hates him, she should still consider her descendants.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qin said, "I told Mom a long time ago. Mom said it has nothing to do with her. If future generations want to blame someone, they can only blame you for doing something wrong."
Shen Qin could never forget the look on his mother's face when she said this.
He appealed to Chen Baomei's emotions and reason, explaining to her the negative impact that Shen Xingguo's imprisonment had on their younger generation.
Unexpectedly, Chen Baomei had an indifferent expression on her face, and a hint of disdain in her tone.
"What does it have to do with me? The one who made the mistake was Shen Xingguo. Why don't you blame him but instead blame me, the victim?"
Chen Baomei's question left him speechless.
If we really want to find someone to blame, Chen Baomei really can't be blamed. It was all his father's fault.
Shen Xingguo couldn't believe it and confirmed with him, "Really?"
Shen Qin nodded.
The last glimmer of hope was shattered, and Shen Xingguo seemed to have been drained of all his energy.
"It's over, it's over. It's really over this time."
"Big Boss, Dad is begging you to take the children and go and plead with your mom to withdraw the lawsuit. Dad is already old and really doesn't want to go to jail and suffer."
He just wanted to make some money, and he never expected that Chen Baomei would be so cruel as to kill him without regard for their feelings and their years of friendship.
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world, and it is useless for him to regret it.
Shen Qin: "Dad, I will help you hire a good lawyer and try to reduce your sentence."
Shen Xingguo: “…”
"Also, Dad, I'm not well off right now, so you'll have to pay for the lawyer's fees yourself."
"Me? I've almost used up all my money. How can I have any more?"
He only has that little bit of savings left. If he takes it out again, will he die?
Shen Qin was astonished. "Two hundred thousand yuan, you've spent it all?"
It's only been less than a year.
"What's free in the city? Even drinking water costs money. We also want to travel. It's not surprising that the two of us spend 200,000 yuan a year." Shen Xingguo said unhappily.
Shen Qin rubbed his eyebrows.
"Dad, you're so extravagant. How can you and Aunt Xiu live off the savings and just spend money?"
The money is gone, and there is no point in blaming him now.
"Doesn't the second brother still owe you 200,000 yuan? Has he paid you back yet? If not, let him pay it back. If he can't pay you back right away, then let him pay your legal fees."
Shen Xingguo's old face twisted into a ball.
That's a fake account. If he really asked the second brother to pay him back 200,000 yuan, he would break into the detention center and beat him to death.
How dare he talk to the second brother?
Compared to the second son who is not easy to deal with, the eldest son is more reliable.
Now is not the time to save face. If I don't tell the truth to the boss, he won't even have a decent lawyer.
Shen Xingguo blushed and stammered as he explained the fake IOU to Shen Qin.
Shen Qin suppressed his anger and said, "So, that money was already spent by you and Gao Xiuyun a long time ago, even when you and my mother were still married?"
"Don't be angry, things have already come to this, it's useless to scold me."
Looking at his father's shameless look, Shen Qin began to doubt whether it was necessary to help him.
But Shen Xingguo is his biological father. If he just leaves it alone and starts yelling with his temper, how will others look at him?
Shen Qin realized belatedly that his mother must have known that his father had spent all the money, so she deliberately gave the debt to his father.
If his father dared to deny the loan, he would be suspected of deliberately transferring marital property. Not only would his mother have the right to recover the money, but she would also have the right to take the lead in the division of property in a divorce.
Shen Qin took a deep breath and resisted the urge to curse.
"I'll ask the second brother and the others to contribute to the legal fees. Dad, I hope that after this is settled, you can be more peaceful and stop messing around like this."
Shen Xingguo responded repeatedly.
Shen Qin turned around and found a few brothers and sisters and asked them to share Shen Xingguo's legal fees.
Unfortunately, both Shen Ru and Shen Yin's daughters stood on Chen Baomei's side and didn't want to have anything to do with Shen Xingguo. Shen Rui also decisively refused to pay Shen Xingguo's lawyer fees. Only Shen Ming was willing to pay.
When Wu Wenwan learned about this, she blamed Shen Qin for taking on too much work.
"After this semester, Huihui and Jiaojiao will have to pay tuition again. Our family is already financially tight, and you're still taking on so much. Your dad created a mess for you to clean up, and you're feeling free, but it's really hard on us younger generations."
I was already depressed, and now I have to listen to Wu Wenwan's nagging when I get home.
Shen Qin said unhappily, "Speak less."
"You can do it, and I don't say anything! If you help your dad, won't your mom have any objections? Don't let your mom become more prejudiced against us and shut us out."
"Probably not. After all, he's my biological father. Mom will understand. Have you found a tenant?"
"That's about right. We need to find out the address of your mother's villa as soon as possible so that we can send the things there directly."
The old lady is still wary of them. When asked where she bought the house, her mouth was like a lock that could not be opened.
The evidence of this theft is solid and the case is simple.
After the trial, Shen Xingguo was sentenced to three years, while Gao Xiuyun was given a lighter sentence of one year because she was an accomplice.
When the verdict came out, Shen Xingguo collapsed to the ground like a pile of soft meat.
He didn't expect that he would pay such a heavy price for just a small thing.
Chen Baomei shook hands with her lawyer with a smile on her face.
This lawyer played an indispensable role in Shen Xingguo receiving the maximum sentence.
Seeing Chen Baomei's smug look, Shen Xingguo, with a dejected face, jumped up and cursed at Chen Baomei.
They called her a heartless and vicious woman and cursed her to be struck by lightning and die a miserable death.
Chen Baomei didn't even frown as the obscene words floated into her ears.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled at Shen Xingguo: "I am very happy to send you in. I heard that you have spent all your money and you don't have any ability to make money. I sent you in to eat free rice for three years. You should thank me."
Chen Baomei's words were like stabbing Chen Xingguo's lungs with a knife soaked in salt water.
With his hands handcuffed behind his back, Shen Xingguo still wanted to jump up and kick Chen Baomei.
Unfortunately, he was dragged away by the police as Chen Baomei watched.
The matter was settled, Shen Ming and Yan Jing, who was holding the child, cheered up and walked up to Chen Baomei.
Shen Ming: "Mom, this is Jingjing and I's son, Jin Ge'er, and he's also your eldest grandson."
"Although you didn't give Dad and Aunt Xiu a letter of apology, we, as the younger generation, couldn't bear it and still wanted to bring the child over to show you."
