Chapter 2259 Chapter 732 Who is entrusted by (1 update
Because Zhou Chunmei gave birth to a son for the Li family, Liu Tong was proud for a while. Until Zhou Chunmei's child suddenly disappeared last month, she could no longer be proud.
When the news of Li Yao's arrest reached her ears, she was completely dumbfounded and acted like a coward. She avoided people when walking and did not dare to go to the court to hear the trial.
When Zhou Chunmei was driven back to her parents' home by the Li family, Liu Tong became nervous. She was afraid that the Li family would take back the house!
Zhou Chunmei returned to her mother's house and cried non-stop, complaining that the Li family wanted her to take the blame for killing their child. She also asked for a divorce so that she could leave the house, and how the Li family bullied her.
Liu Tong can speak eloquently except when she talks nonsense, but when it is her turn to talk about business, she can't say anything about Zi Chou Yin Mao, a typical "business is not enough and evil is more than enough".
Like mother, like daughter, Zhou Chunmei, apart from messing around, also scratches her head when it comes to serious matters, having no idea and no ability to deal with them.
Because of this, when Zhou Chunmei cried and complained that the Li family was bullying her, Liu Tong had no idea what to do.
The mother and daughter hugged each other miserably and cried miserably. Apart from complaining about their misery, they could not think of how to protect their interests.
While the mother and daughter were feeling sorry for themselves and anxiously waiting for their fate to be arranged, who knew there would be a way out? In the afternoon, a lawyer surnamed Zhang came to her door and volunteered to help Zhou Chunmei with the lawsuit for free.
The reason why the lawyer is willing to help for free is because his family was bullied when he was a child, so he decided to study law and become a lawyer. He couldn't bear to see the Li family's bad behavior of killing their children and driving their wives out of the house, so he helped them seek justice when they saw injustice. .
The arrival of the free lawyer was undoubtedly a godsend. Liu Tong and Zhou Chunmei were overjoyed. The mother and daughter also believed in the lawyer's words of voluntary help.
Especially when the lawyer said that he could sue the man and asked him for compensation, Liu Tong and Zhou Chunmei beamed with joy and asked for five million in compensation.
But she was thrown cold water on her. The lawyer said that the property of the Li family belonged to the man before the marriage. The woman did not work to create wealth after marrying the man, so she had no right to share the man's pre-marital property.
To be able to ask for compensation, it is because the man cheated on the marriage and intended to rape the woman after killing her son. This can be used to ask the man to compensate for mental damages. He can probably get up to about 200,000 yuan.
Liu Tong was greatly disappointed. She originally thought that the man would pay millions. In that case, she would not have to do anything in the future and would just be a rich woman who lay down and ate.
Because she had been kicked out of the house by her husband's family without even a dime, Zhou Chunmei was very excited when she heard that the Li family could compensate the Li family 200,000 yuan for mental damages. When the lawyer asked her about her relationship with Li Yao and the Li family's affairs after their marriage. Whatever she did, she said everything she wanted to say.
The lawyer collected the recordings of the mother and daughter and asked Zhou Chunmei to sign the power of attorney. He became the entrusted lawyer and drafted an indictment and submitted it to the court in the afternoon.
Li Yao's case was closed for the first time and it was announced that the court would reopen on November 21. Li's father and Li's mother were trying to find a way to exonerate their son, but they received a court summons and they became defendants.
Li's father and Li's mother almost fainted when they received a court summons and found out that Zhou Chunmei was suing the Li family for marriage fraud.
Li Yao was arrested, and Police C went to Meicun to get camera records. No one from the Zhou family in Meicun stood up for Zhou Chunmei, and no one from the Zhou family showed up during the trial. They thought that the Zhou family had completely given up on Zhou Chunmei, and that Zhou Chunmei was an abandoned child who could not afford to be repaid. Any storm.
They kick people out of their homes without any guilt.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Chunmei, the idiot and abandoned son in their eyes, asked a lawyer to sue the Li family for marriage fraud. In fact, they were indeed suspected of marriage fraud.
Li's father and Li's mother were so angry that they had to accept the reality of being the defendant. They felt that Zhou Chunmei was not that smart to come up with a way to counter-sue them. Maybe the Zhou family secretly asked someone to give Zhou Chunmei the advice to find a lawyer to sue them for fraudulent marriage.
There is another speculation that their business rivals may have taken advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury and secretly trampled on them.
When the court heard again, Li's father and Li's mother had to sit in the dock, but they were entrusted with lawyers to answer questions on their behalf.
Zhou Chunmei also went to the plaintiff's table, and her attorney also had full authority to answer or present defenses on her behalf. She only had to sit there.
The trial will still start with Li Yao's murder of his son. Because the prosecutor's evidence is true and sufficient, the court found that Li Yao committed a premeditated and planned murder of a disabled child, and did not commit any excessive behavior due to an emotional breakdown due to long-term care of the child. reason.
After that, there was the trial of Li Yao's request for divorce and Zhou Chunmei's divorce, and Zhou Chunmei's lawsuit against the Li family for marriage fraud. The plaintiff's entrusted attorney and the defendant's entrusted attorney went back and forth, each performing their duties for their respective clients, and there were various disputes in the process. Witness Fang appears.
Liu Tong's younger brother was also summoned to the court. He was timid and was afraid of the Li family. He was also afraid of Zhou Chunmei's maternal cousin's Le family. He was afraid of suffering for himself and did not dare to favor anyone. He told the truth when asked.
The relative of the Li family who runs a clinic was also called to the witness stand. He did not dare to hide it and explained clearly how the Li family arranged for Zhou Chunmei to enter his clinic.
After a back-and-forth battle between lawyers from both sides, the court, after a collegial panel discussion, held that the plaintiff, Zhou Chunmei, was found guilty of the charges against the defendant, and that the Li family had engaged in marriage fraud.
The second trial still did not pronounce a verdict, and the verdict was announced on the 23rd. In the end, Li Yao was sentenced to 15 years of probation. The court sentenced Li Yao and Zhou Chunmei to divorce, and the Li family compensated Zhou Chunmei for 300,000 yuan in mental damages. When Zhou Chunmei heard that she could get 300,000 yuan in mental damages, she was so excited that she almost lost her temper. Liu Tong in the auditorium also beamed with joy.
After the court announced the verdict, the marriage between Li Yao and Zhou Chunmei was terminated. The lawyer helped Zhou Chunmei apply for a divorce certificate and asked the man for compensation.
The Li family originally wanted to use the word "delay". If they didn't say no, they would say they couldn't turn over the funds and keep delaying.
The lawyer who litigated the case for Zhou Chunmei only said one sentence to Li's father and mother, "Mr. Li, no matter how stupid Zhou Chunmei is, her surname is Zhou. She comes from the Zhou family in Meicun Village. Her brother and her brother have broken bones and even tendons." .
Father Li and Mother Li immediately understood the lawyer's hidden meaning. Zhou Chunmei's surname was Zhou. Even if she severed the father-daughter relationship with her father, she had the blood of the Zhou family flowing in her body. The Zhou family could not really let her be stepped into the water.
There are no capable people in the Zhou family who can't touch the Li family, but Zhou Chunmei's aunt is Le Yun's younger brother's biological mother. The Le family girl doesn't need to take action. She only needs a word and someone will be willing to help step on the Li family.
After understanding the lawyer's hidden meaning, Li's father felt frightened. He finally understood why Li Yao was exposed!
Perhaps Li Yao's actions were perfect. If the nanny was taking care of the child at home, or Li Yao himself, or he and his wife were taking care of the child at home, the death of the child from suffocation would be an accident, and there would be no follow-up matters.
The bad thing was that Zhou Chunmei was the only one at home at that time. Even if the Zhou family severed ties with Zhou Chunmei, they did not want Zhou Chunmei to have the reputation of being unfavorable in taking care of their children, so they would definitely ask Le Yun for help.
Le Yun had probably figured out their little thoughts when they went to Meicun. She guessed that Li Yao would divorce Zhou Chunmei sooner or later, and she might have been keeping an eye on them.
Therefore, when the child died unexpectedly, the Lejia girl knew about it in a short period of time, and then suspected that the child's death was not an accident, and had a hand in it. Only then did the police C become suspicious, find clues, and expose Li Yao. .
They misjudged the Zhou family and lost the whole game by just one move.
If they negotiated with Zhou Chunmei privately and gave Zhou Chunmei a sum of money to divorce Li Yao peacefully, they might not have to pay Li Yao, and their reputation would not be ruined and they would not have to bear the infamy like now.
Zhou Chunmei only offered 500,000 yuan for compensation, but after bargaining for 300,000 yuan, she compromised. If she was given a million yuan through negotiation, she would definitely be dismissed.
Father Li understood, and was so regretful that his intestines turned green. He squeezed out a wry smile: "Lawyer Zhang, I have a question. Were you entrusted by Zhou Chunmei's cousin's sister to defend Zhou Chunmei?"
"No." Lawyer Zhang smiled: "I volunteered to help Zhou Chunmei fight this lawsuit. The reason is also because Zhou Chunmei's surname is Zhou.
If it were you, even if your daughter failed to live up to her expectations, would you really stand by and watch when she suffered the same fate as Zhou Chunmei?
Mr. Li, keep a line in everything so that we can meet each other in the future. You have to know in your mind what you can and cannot do. If you don't know, you might as well think carefully about the Huang family in Shishi. ”
Father Li's heart trembled, and his face turned pale.
A mountain as big as the Huang family was eventually leveled by the Le family girl because it harmed the Le family. What does the Li family mean in front of the Huang family?
The Li family's plot against Zhou Chunmei was actually against the Le family. But when they realized that Zhou Chunmei's move was a waste of money, they not only felt abandoned, but also wanted Zhou Chunmei to be blamed for not taking care of the children and causing the death of her own son. They did it too harshly.
Father Li was heartbroken and his face was gloomy. Without any further delay, Li's father went to the bank with Zhou Chunmei's attorney Zhang. He transferred the 300,000 compensation payable into Zhou Chunmei's account and obtained Zhou Chunmei's signature from the lawyer. written receipt.
After walking out of the bank, when the lawyer was about to get in the car, Li's father made a request in a low voice: "Lawyer Zhang, please tell her if you see that girl tomorrow, just say that what happened has happened. Whenever the Li family meets Meicun in the future, When it comes to human affairs, stay away voluntarily.”
"If I have the chance to meet that person, I will convey it to him." Lawyer Zhang nodded, closed the car door, and drove away.
Father Li returned home with a pale face, silently packed some things for his son and sent them to the court detention center, and then started to deal with the property in Zhu County.
He decided to leave Shishi with his family and live somewhere else.
Lawyer Zhang helped Zhou Chunmei get the compensation, sent it back to Liu Tong's house, handed Zhou Chunmei's bank card, and then came and left lightly.
When he left, he gave mother and daughter a word of advice, saying that the relationship between the Li family's relatives was complicated, and Zhu County was the territory of the Li family, and someone might dig a trap for them at any time. If the mother and daughter did not want to lose both their lives and wealth, they would eventually It’s better to make your choice early.
Liu Tong was afraid of the Li Yao family's revenge, but she couldn't bear to part with her house, so she decided to stay in Zhu County.
Zhou Chunmei listened to it, packed up and went out to work.
