Chapter 71: I admit, you are smarter, okay?
Discovered.
Xu Jiangcuo refused to admit it: "I thought of it myself."
"Okay, okay, that's a great idea." Song Lehan responded to his words, but he thought of another thing in his mind.
Before leaving work, Mr. Li told them about Puchi's case in the office. He had consulted a lawyer and learned that it was generally difficult to revoke parental custody in China.
Unless the child is not the biological child of the parents, or the parents abuse the child to the extreme.
Otherwise it's difficult.
Are we really going to watch a little girl step into the abyss and ruin her life?
This is modern society!
As a woman, Song Lehan couldn't just ignore it.
Even if there is no hope, she wants to do her best to help.
Seeing Song Lehan's sudden silence, Xu Jiangcuo guessed that she must be thinking about Puchi. Although the lawyer said it was difficult, what if?
He took a step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Song Lehan. "I'll go to town this afternoon to ask a lawyer about Puchi's matter. Although there may not be much hope, nothing is impossible in this world."
I'm afraid of those who are interested.
Song Lehan nodded, his expression still solemn.
afternoon.
Xu Jiangcuo rode his motorcycle to the town. After finishing class, Song Lehan went straight to see the village chief.
Song Lehan checked the relevant legal provisions on how to deprive parents of their custody rights.
Generally speaking, villagers need to apply jointly and a judgment will be made based on the specific behavior of their parents.
Therefore, Song Lehan came to see the village chief, also wanting the village chief to organize the villagers to apply to revoke Puchi’s parents’ guardianship rights over Puchi.
After hearing Song Lehan's purpose, the village chief sighed dejectedly.
"Teacher Song, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just... you're making it very difficult for me!" The village chief clapped his hands and shook his head in embarrassment. "We are all from the same village, so we have some connections. Some of them are even relatives of the Puchi family. You're asking them to sue their own relatives. This, this..."
Song Lehan frowned deeply: "But Puchi is so young, and they want her to get married? This is illegal."
The village chief lowered his voice and said, "She is someone else's daughter after all. It's their family's business after all. It's useless for us outsiders to interfere."
"It's useful!" Song Lehan's eyes were firm. "As long as it can change the current situation, even a little bit, it will be useful!"
The village chief sighed helplessly and raised his hand to push the water cup in front of her. "Song Lehan, you're leaving soon, right?"
Song Lehan didn't understand why the village chief said that.
"You're gone, so you don't have to worry about anything. But what about us? We have to take care of it."
The village chief took a sip of water and said in a serious tone, "You don't understand what kind of person Puchi's father is. He's a scoundrel who got into a lot of fights when he was young. He only became more reserved after he got married and only caused trouble in their family home."
"If the whole village applies to revoke his rights, he'll definitely cause us trouble if he finds out!"
The village chief pleaded, "Teacher Song, it's not that we don't want to help, it's just that we are limited! The village is full of elderly men and women, and they can't handle Puchi's father at all. We really can't..."
What the village chief said was from the perspective of the entire village.
It is to protect the choices of the majority, and he is right.
But he didn't consider the situation of the little kid Puchi.
Maybe he considered it, but he didn't think it was important.
Song Lehan lowered his eyes and sighed, "Puchi is also your villager."
The village chief felt unhappy as his cloudy eyes moved.
"There's no way, there's really no way." He murmured over and over again, lowering his head, which was full of white hair.
Over the years, he has done his best to live up to the title of "village chief" that the villagers call him. If he asks himself honestly, he feels that he is truly worthy of everyone in the village.
But after hearing what Song Lehan said just now, the village chief suddenly changed his mind.
Is he really worthy of every villager?
Puchi is his villager, and those girls who dropped out of school early and were forced to get married by their parents are also his villagers.
Did he really care about them?
I cared about it, but there’s nothing I can do.
A simple "there's nothing I can do" hastily determined their lives.
After a long silence, the village chief relaxed.
"I can take you to find someone, and I will try my best to persuade them, but if they don't want to, there's nothing I can do."
Song Lehan's expression lit up with gratitude, "Thank you, Village Chief!"
They went door to door looking for someone, thinking it would be a lot of trouble, but as soon as they mentioned Puchi's name, he agreed without even saying what he was going to do.
Unexpectedly smooth.
It went so smoothly that even Song Lehan felt it was a little... strange.
It wasn't until she came to the last one that she got the answer.
"We all know Puchi. She's such a pitiful little girl. She doesn't have enough to eat at home, so she comes out to help others and earn a living. We all know her. Whenever we invite her to dinner, she always asks to help with something."
"Moreover, even if you ask her to come to the table for dinner, she won't sit down. She picks up her food, bows, and walks away. She's incredibly well-behaved, incredibly capable, and incredibly pitiful."
"We all know how her father treated her and want to say something, but it's their own family matter and it's not easy to interfere. Now, we are really happy to have Teacher Song to help her."
Hearing this, Song Lehan could imagine what Puchi's small body had endured.
How difficult it must be!
The old lady raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and Song Lehan couldn't help but redden her eyes.
"Don't worry, Auntie. I will do my best to help Puchi and give her a good future." Song Lehan made a promise.
The old lady held Song Lehan's hand and nodded with tears in her eyes, "Teacher Song, we believe you!"
As I walked out of the last house, Xu Jiangcuo called.
"I've consulted a lawyer. We need to apply to the village committee and provide relevant proof that the guardian's physical and mental health has been harmed, as well as video and audio materials. We can go to the village chief first..."
"I have already consulted the village chief and obtained the consent of the villagers. Some villagers are even willing to serve as witnesses." Song Lehan happily talked about the situation on his side, and became more and more confident in revoking their guardianship of Puchi.
Xu Jiangcuo said "Oh" in disbelief, "So you know everything."
"Hehehe, admit it, you're not as smart as me." Song Le teased him, then asked, "When can you come back? Let's go to Puchi's house secretly and take video evidence."
"Okay, I'll be right back. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll bring it back for you."
Even at this time, Xu Jiangcuo was still thinking about food.
Song Lehan had no appetite. As her period was approaching, she couldn't eat anything.
"I don't want to eat anything. Come back soon. Try to take a valid video before dark."
Xu Jiangcuo: "Yes, sir!"
