Song Jiao's lawyer stood up calmly and made an application to the judge to project the screen. After obtaining the judge's tacit approval, the big screen in the courtroom lit up instantly, ready to display a series of key evidence.
The timeline slowly rolled on and stopped at the beginning of 2017.
On the screen, each bill was clearly visible. At first, the expenses of the two were relatively balanced, and the sweetness and efforts during their relationship flowed between the numbers.
However, since November, the numbers on the bill began to show a one-sided trend, and the original owner's expenses soared like a runaway horse.
"Transfer: 5,000 yuan." Song Jiao's voice was calm and powerful. "This is the money for his medical treatment and medication when his hepatitis B relapsed."
"December: 4,500 yuan, for examinations and prescription medicine," she continued, with detailed explanations attached to every expense.
"Then there were the expenses for going to the man's house. At that time, we had no money. Because we were not used to the climate and the food, we had to pay an extra 400 yuan in cash."
"The fee for changing his name was one thousand yuan, given in cash. In addition to daily meals and prenatal checkups, I also bought him pajamas." Song Jiao's words revealed endless helplessness and bitterness.
As the bills continued to be displayed, people in the audience gradually showed expressions of shock.
This isn't a sacrifice; it's a one-sided responsibility! How on earth did this man have the courage to file a lawsuit?
After comprehensive evaluation, almost all expenses are borne by the woman.
The debts owed by the man are mostly used for the woman's prenatal checkups and care for her during pregnancy.
The woman spends her money almost entirely on buying things for the children, silently contributing to the family.
In addition to the money owed, the subsequent transferred money was also put in.
The money earned by the man is only a small part.
"I heard that the man wants to get the betrothal gift back!" someone in the crowd whispered.
"How disgusting." Another voice echoed, full of disdain.
Yang Zihao's face had turned ashen at this moment. He felt that he had been insulted like never before. "You are talking nonsense! All of you shut up!" He roared, trying to cover up his embarrassment and anger.
"You're so awesome at living off a gigolo?" Someone in the crowd said this, instantly igniting Yang Zihao's anger. "What does my living off a gigolo have to do with you? If you're capable, go ahead and eat it!" He shouted hysterically.
The judge's voice rang out at the right moment, clear and powerful. "Silence! As the defendant has requested a change of plea, today's trial is adjourned."
The courtroom instantly returned to silence, leaving only the sound of people whispering and light footsteps.
"The second hearing will be in ten days," the judge announced.
Song Jiao had already anticipated that the verdict would not be easy in the first trial, but she was determined to win the second time.
Yang Zihao watched the judges leave one after another and began to speak without thinking again, "Ning Shi, don't think I don't know about your infidelity! I have evidence! Don't think you can get what you want!"
Hearing this, Song Jiao sneered, "Oh? You've been chatting with your female classmate for two months, caring so much about her, sleeping with her during the day and chatting with her at night, even ignoring your hepatitis B condition! I just flirted with a guy in the game, and you can't stand it?"
"You are the only one who cares about female classmates and enjoys the admiration of green tea girls? When she gives birth in the delivery room, she will tell you how painful it is, and she will look for you the first time the baby is born! If you don't know, you would think you are her husband!" Song Jiao's words were full of sarcasm and disdain, making Yang Zihao's face even uglier.
This sentence seemed to have touched Yang Zihao's most sensitive nerve. He was furious again, his eyes wide open, as if they could spit fire. "Bullshit! I have nothing to do with her! Besides, you have experienced what her in-laws did to her. What's wrong with me comforting her? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Song Jiao looked at Yang Zihao's hysterical appearance and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Her laughter was crisp and cold, tinged with sarcasm and disdain. "After all, she's married and has a car and a house. If she gets a little wronged, her in-laws will at least give her money to make up for it! Why are you so distressed? She chats with me at night and sleeps with me during the day. I want to be intimate with you, but you tell me to get lost. Do you still have any shame?"
"Do you think you're praised to the skies just because someone said a few flattering words like 'I wish her husband was like you'?" Song Jiao continued, her tone full of sarcasm.
What a fool! My hands are itchy, what should I do?
Yang Zihao was so angry at Song Jiao's words that he was shaking all over. He clenched his fists as if he would explode at any time.
Song Jiao started to continue output!
"Don't you know your own worth? You don't even ask for money, but your sympathy is inflated! Why don't you bring her back to live with you? Wouldn't it be better if you two locked her up together? She wouldn't be an eyesore here!"
"You... you're talking nonsense!" Yang Zihao was once again enraged, his words filled with malice and jealousy. "You clearly look down on me because I'm broke and I don't know how to make money! Do you really think those men are nice to you just because you're nice to them? They're just after your body!"
Hearing this, Song Jiao's eyes instantly turned cold. "You know you have no money and can't make any, yet you're still making a scene here? You act as if you're not after my body! As soon as you want a divorce, you tell everyone I'm cheating on you and that I look down on you! Ask yourself, what's going on!"
"Then why don't you give me some money so I can respect you?" Song Jiao continued, her voice full of disdain and indifference. "You talk to that woman so much every day, why doesn't she divorce her husband and be with you? Isn't it because you have no money? Don't pretend to be affectionate here, it's disgusting!"
Now, Yang Zihao seemed to have a fire burning in his chest, but he could not find an outlet to vent it. His angry eyes glared at Song Jiao fiercely, as if he wanted to brand her in his heart.
Then he turned abruptly and strode out of the courtroom, leaving behind a series of heavy footsteps echoing in the empty hall.
Song Jiao's lips curled up into a faint smile. She really liked the look when the other person was unhappy with her but could do nothing about it.
Seeing this, the lawyer came over at the right time and patted Song Jiao's shoulder gently, with a tone of affirmation and comfort, "It seems that divorce is the best choice for you. This family is really one worse than the other!"
Upon hearing this, Song Jiao lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow under her eyelids. She whispered, "Yes, this is the best choice." Although her voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.
The lawyer's expression grew serious, and he whispered, "But you also have to be careful. Just two days ago, a woman was murdered by her husband during the cooling-off period after seeking a divorce. This man clearly has a mental disorder. You must be careful."
Song Jiao raised her head, still wearing that relaxed smile on her face, but a barely perceptible chill flashed across her eyes, "Okay, I'll pay attention."
After all, it’s still unclear who is who!
