Chapter 248 Why Still Looking for a Lawyer
I finally got myself in the right mood to start, but I didn't expect to be interrupted. My dad looked back with some displeasure, and saw the door was gently pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a suit came in.
My brother-in-law was the first to speak: "Yes, it's right here. Who are you?"
The man quickly looked around the ward and confirmed that the person he was looking for should be his cousin on the hospital bed.
He pulled out his business card from his pocket and said, "My name is He Jinyan, and I'm a lawyer at Jinheng Law Firm. I'm now in charge of your case of illegal detention."
My dad was stunned and asked, "Why do we need a lawyer for this? Isn't this just a family matter?"
Lawyer He spoke to my father in a gentle but serious tone, "Excuse me, what is your relationship with my client?"
"I'm her second uncle."
"Mr. Xia, this is a criminal offense, and it can't be resolved privately at home. From what I understand, the suspects are your mother, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, nephew, and cousin, right?"
My dad's face twitched when he heard this. Wow, there's nothing wrong with what he said, why does it sound so hurtful?
My father had a sullen face and said nothing. Listening to it was one thing, but admitting it in person was another.
Lawyer He didn't take it seriously and continued gently, "If you care about family ties, you should hire a defense lawyer for them.
Of course, if they don’t hire a defense lawyer, the court will appoint one for them, but its ability is hard to say.”
When it came to such specific details, my dad seemed to begin to realize that this matter was really a big deal.
Before, he probably thought that as long as he could persuade his cousin, his grandmother and uncle's family would be fine.
My dad couldn't sit still any longer and asked anxiously, "Jundi, do you really want to sue your grandma and your parents?"
I quickly spoke before my cousin could, "Dad, aren't you here to support my cousin and seek justice for her? I always thought you were the most fair."
He was just praised so highly, and now he wanted to maintain his image in front of his juniors, but he was also afraid that his mother and elder brother would go to jail, which would make him lose face.
After struggling for a while, my dad finally said, "Jundi, if your grandma goes to jail, Mengmeng will never be able to take the civil service exam. If your parents go to jail, your children will never be able to take the civil service exam.
You have to think carefully and not harm them all because of a momentary anger."
I was the first to express my opinion: "Dad, I don't plan to take the civil service exam, so my cousin doesn't need to worry about me."
My dad was a little unhappy with me for ruining his plans. He glared at me and asked, "What are you planning on doing if you don't take the civil service exam? Are you really planning on working in my factory?"
I said with a playful smile, "Didn't you say that girls with good fortune are either raised by their fathers or their husbands? You don't want to support me so soon, do you?"
My father choked and said, "Even if you don't plan to take the civil service exam, your cousin's children will not plan to take the exam in the future? Not only will it affect their chances of taking the civil service exam, but also their chances of joining the army."
When talking about children, my cousin's face turned grim. "I can't think that far ahead. Because of them, I'm not sure if I'll have children in the future, so how can I think about their future?"
My father looked embarrassed and couldn't continue speaking. Just then his cell phone rang again, so he left with an excuse that he had something to do.
After my dad left, my sister said to Lawyer He, "Lawyer He, is there anything I need to do now?"
"We need to determine what outcome we want, a longer prison sentence or more compensation."
