Chapter 102: Cousin Lin returns home and is bitten by a snake. He is afraid of ropes for ten years...
Chapter 102
Lin Mujin and her cousin Lin went home, this time by bus.
She just took advantage of her cousin Lin going to the bathroom to ask Lawyer Li how much he charges.
Lawyer Li asked her to go to the law firm again tomorrow morning. They would sign an agency contract with a basic fee of 3,000 yuan.
Lin Mujin was relieved. This price was within her acceptable range.
"Brother, go home, take a shower, have a good sleep, and this matter will be over." Lin Mujin comforted him.
Cousin Lin suddenly remembered, "My bicycle is still at the company. I need to get it back. Also, I've been working here for almost a month. How can I talk about my salary?"
Lin Mujin was delighted, feeling that her cousin's tense spirit had eased considerably. "I'll go to the market and talk to Uncle and the others to relieve their worries, then go get the bike. As for the salary, don't worry about it for now. We'll deal with it after this case is finally settled."
Cousin Lin nodded silently, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have trusted her anymore..."
After saying that, she covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down from between her fingers.
Lin Mujin couldn't say she didn't have a little bit of resentment in her heart, but it wasn't cousin Lin who was wrong, it was that Shabi woman. "Brother, who would have thought she was that kind of person? You can't be lovers. You were classmates and neighbors for many years. Isn't it normal for you to trust her? Besides, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with her."
Knowing that Cousin Lin is already very sad and blaming himself, there is no need to add insult to injury.
Cousin Lin lowered his head and wiped his eyes. "Sister, how much did it cost to hire a lawyer?"
Lin Mujin answered truthfully, "Not much, only three thousand mosquitoes."
Cousin Lin also breathed a sigh of relief and even joked, "They used to say that only rich people could afford lawyers, but I never thought that the day would come when we would have to hire a lawyer too."
Lin Mujin continued to advise, "Three thousand dollars isn't expensive, which means this is a small case. Don't feel too burdened, brother. Go home and have a good rest. Uncle will be relieved when he sees you in good spirits."
Cousin Lin nodded repeatedly, "I understand. No matter what happens in this case, I will never do this job again."
He is probably afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once.
Lin Mujin was eager to do it. "If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. Haven't we discussed expanding the family business? Working outside is not as good as being your own boss."
Cousin Lin curled his lips and said, "I can't be your boss, so I'll work for you."
Lin Mujin didn't refuse. "Don't worry, you'll get to eat meat if you hang out with me. Brother, last night Sister Xiuying specifically asked why you didn't go home. She's really concerned about you. Remember to thank her later."
Cousin Lin's expression was a little complicated for a moment, "She...she is a good person."
Lin Mujin joked, "Brother, don't be so quick to give out the nice guy card. I think Sister Xiuying is very outstanding."
Cousin Lin sighed, "So I'm not worthy of it."
Lin Mujin didn't know why cousin Lin was so self-deprecating. "Brother, don't say such self-deprecating words. You are handsome and responsible. Sister Xiuying has good taste."
Cousin Lin fell silent again...
Lin Mujin didn't say anything, and the two got off the bus at their stop.
When they got home, cousin Lin went to take a shower, so Lin Mujin hurried to cook for him.
Although it was still early, she wanted her cousin Lin to finish his meal before going to bed.
It must be very hard to be in the detention center. Not to mention the environment, the psychological pressure is also great. I guess I didn’t eat well yesterday.
Before, I was so busy asking Lawyer Li in that coffee shop that I didn't order a simple meal for Cousin Lin.
She is in a hurry now and doesn't plan to make anything complicated. She just adds flour, eggs, milk powder, sugar, white sesame seeds, and warm water and stirs them into a yogurt-like batter.
Heat oil in a pan and fry milk-flavored omelets.
Soon eight small pancakes were baked.
She took it back first and let Cousin Lin eat it after he took a shower.
Let’s make another quick dish.
Stir-fry the pork belly with shredded potatoes, and you can also eat it in a roll.
It was ready in five minutes, and she took the chopsticks and the plate back to the house.
Cousin Lin was in a daze again.
She cleared her throat and said, "Brother, wait for me. Didn't I tell you to eat first?"
Cousin Lin came back to his senses. "No, I ate one. I'm not that hungry anymore. Sister, I have to pay for my meal at the police station. And there should be bail fees as well."
Lin Mujin was stunned. It was true, but Lawyer Li hadn't mentioned it. "I'm going to the law firm tomorrow to sign the formal agency contract. I guess Lawyer Li will talk to me about the various fees then."
Cousin Lin nodded and said, "This is also a new experience."
Lin Mujin couldn't control her gossip, mainly because her cousin Lin was standing right in front of her. "Brother, what's the environment like in that detention center? Are there any fierce people in there?"
Cousin Lin thought for a moment and replied, "It's okay. I think it's a bit like a subdivided flat. It's very depressing. I was lucky that there was no one else there at the time, and I didn't see anyone very aggressive. But if it was a serious criminal, I would probably be kept in solitary confinement."
Lin Mujin knew about this. "Yes, the custody standards for serious criminals must be very strict, for fear of them escaping. In ancient times, serious criminals were always handcuffed and shackled."
She knew this; it had been described in novels and on television.
Cousin Lin bit the delicious egg pancake fiercely and said, "Don't let me know who is harming me this time..."
Lin Mujin was also quite angry, but she still advised, "Don't worry, brother, evil will be punished."
After the brother and sister finished their meal, Lin Mujin chatted with him for a while and only let him go to bed after seeing that his hair was completely dry.
She packed up briefly and went out again.
Go and submit the manuscript first. She wrote it yesterday and she hasn’t finished writing a thousand words today.
"Editor-in-Chief Wang, the uncle said he wants to revise the ending. You know the ending is very important. The newspaper still has a lot of manuscripts in stock, so this is also a way to be responsible for the article. Okay, okay, I promise to send the ending in full within a week."
Lin Mujin put down the phone and breathed a long sigh of relief. She could devote herself to her cousin Lin's affairs for the next two days.
No need to be distracted by writing "Faded".
But she also planned to finish the article properly and not end it halfway.
After all, they paid real money.
She bought two more newspapers and went to the market.
It’s almost eleven o’clock and people are already here.
But when Cousin Lin saw her, she ignored the guests and ran over to hold her hand, "What's wrong?"
Lin Mujin smiled and patted her hand. "It's okay. I've been released on bail. The worst that can happen is that I have to go to court and pay compensation."
Cousin Lin patted her chest exaggeratedly, "I can finally let go of this worry."
Lin Mujin added, "I can't bring you lunch at noon, so just buy whatever you want."
She seemed to have said this to Lin Muli.
I don't know if he will be home at noon.
Cousin Lin waved her hands vigorously. "We'll have hot noodles, fried dumplings, and oyster omelets for lunch. We won't starve. I'll go talk to Dad."
Ran away again.
Lin Mujin also followed. She knew more details and had to add some information on the side.
