Chapter 412 What is the life of traffic lights?
Damn, I really underestimated my grandma's shamelessness. She's really good at making up lies.
With just a few words, Comrade Liu Huifang transformed herself from a patriarchal, cruel, and mean old lady into a grandmother who truly cared about her granddaughter but was not understood.
I didn’t expect that the old lady could not only write, but also act.
She sobbed, wiping away her nonexistent tears with her hands, and said with sobs, "Most of my body is buried in the ground.
I've lived frugally my entire life, and I haven't had the kind of life that young people talk about, where the traffic lights are. Why would I need more money? It's all for the sake of my children."
The more grandma spoke, the more distressed she became, and she hit her chest a few times with her hands.
The boy behind me whispered, "What is this life with traffic lights?"
I kindly turned around to explain to him: "She should be talking about the bright lights and feasting."
The boy gave a thumbs up: "You have great understanding!"
I smiled reservedly: "Thank you~"
Of course I wouldn't tell him that she was my grandmother.
The presiding judge was frustrated by the grandmother's rambling way of stating her case and reminded her again: "Please state the facts of the crime."
Grandma's neck stiffened: "Crime? What crime did I commit?
My granddaughter wants to run away and get married without my consent. Can't I do anything about it?
I just asked her uncle to hide her so that the boy couldn't find her.
Her cousin forgot about her, that's because his brain is not working well.
It was her cousin who was wrong, but Baoguo, as the elder, had already apologized to Jundi. What else did that damned girl want? Why was she so stubborn and insisted on going to the government office to sue? What kind of child is so unfilial?
As she said this, she slapped her thigh and was about to sit on the ground and start howling. The bailiffs on both sides were already experienced. As soon as she slapped her thigh, the bailiffs on each side stretched out their hands and got ready.
Before grandma could even bend her knees, she was held down and couldn't even scream out loud; she was stuck.
The presiding judge looked troubled. She turned to Grandma's lawyer and asked, "Defendant Liu Huifang's lawyer, do you have anything to say?"
Grandma's lawyer cleared his throat and said, "Judge, fellow judges, my client has been proven guilty of entrusting her nephew, the defendant Liu Baoguo, to hide her granddaughter, the plaintiff in this case, Xia Jundi.
But her original intention was not to cause physical harm to him, but to prevent Xia Jundi from going to Hedong Province with her boyfriend to get married without the permission of her family elders.
The property I asked for from her boyfriend's family was not something I asked for myself, but something I intended to take back to my granddaughter's in-laws' home as a dowry.
At best, it can only be regarded as an attempt to demand property from the man's family and turn it into the plaintiff's pre-marital property in the form of a betrothal gift. This behavior may be immoral, but it is not illegal.
Therefore, I think this kind of behavior does not fall under the category of kidnapping, and at most it can only be considered as illegal restriction of personal freedom.
Given that this behavior was committed by the plaintiff's biological parents and grandmother, we believe that this case is not suitable to be tried as an ordinary criminal case, but rather as a family conflict and dispute mediation. We hope that the presiding judge will comprehensively consider the national conditions of family relations in my country.
In addition, my client has a low level of education and only attended primary school for three years, so she cannot understand that preventing her granddaughter from seeing her boyfriend is illegal.
At the same time, my client is over seventy-five years old and according to the law, he should be exempted from criminal responsibility as appropriate.
I have concluded my statement.”
Lawyer He said he wanted to make it a kidnapping case, while grandma's lawyer wanted to make it a family dispute, and also wanted to use blood relationship, legal illiteracy, and age as excuses to exempt herself from criminal responsibility.
