After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

Chapter 684 Fang Qing went in again

Lin Yuyao was taken aback and looked at Fu Huaiyi.

"Is there any progress?"

"Yes, Lu Jiangting has returned from the hospital after taking leave. We'll gather the evidence tomorrow and send her back to the detention center. Also, the people from her village have finally agreed to come."

Lin Yuyao: "The villagers have agreed to come? When will they come?"

“They’re coming next month, which is almost Chinese New Year. They were initially reluctant to come and testify. They had chickens to care for, pigs to feed, and crops to harvest… So they sold their chickens, sold their pigs, and even helped them harvest the crops. I heard they had to go through a lot of persuasion before the witness finally agreed to come.”

It dragged on for another month, not only because Lu Jiangting was admitted to a mental hospital, but mainly because the witnesses had not been found.

Anyway, Ye Lian expressed her understanding.

Well, people in the same village are usually related by blood. If she didn't have a deep-seated hatred for this family, she wouldn't be willing to do this thankless and arduous task.

Besides, it's such a long way, and it's almost Chinese New Year.

The fact that they ultimately decided to come shows that Wang Zhong's family isn't very popular in the village.

As Fu Huaiyi said, Fang Qing went back in the next day.

When she used to work at a grain and oil store, she ruined her reputation and lost her job in order to marry Lu Jiangting.

Later, when Fang Qing went to sweep the streets, she complained that sweeping the streets was respectable enough and missed her previous job at the grain and oil store.

Later, she lost her street sweeping job and went back to work. Nobody wanted her, and even showing her Wang Jianjun's name didn't work. So she had to pick up trash.

After picking up trash for several days, she missed her old job sweeping the streets.

It may not be very respectable, but it's still a secure job.

Now look what happened, she can't even pick up trash anymore, and she's back in detention.

"Why are you arresting me again? The case is closed, I'm the victim."

The other party calmly said, "The military has accused you of having an affair with Wang Jianguo and ruining Comrade Wang Jianjun's military marriage."

Fang Qing: "..."

"Is this never going to end? Jianjun has been gone for years, who's going to sue me?"

"The plaintiff is not an individual, but the military." He turned to the second page and continued, "Not only will we sue you for disrupting a military marriage, but we will also sue you and Wang Jianguo's son for defrauding the military of child support fees."

Fang Qing stumbled, "What...what do you mean?"

"I believe you understand the literal meaning."

Fang Qing's face turned pale. "Those are all rumors. Rumors can't be believed. Comrade, you have to believe me. Chenchen is Jianjun's child, absolutely. You have to believe me..."

"It doesn't matter if I believe you, it's the judge who has to believe you."

"Take it away."

Fang Qing's constant shouting was useless; her hands were handcuffed when she tried to resist.

He was only out for a few days, and now he's back in.

Wang Jianguo's parents were dumbfounded.

The first lawsuit isn't even over yet, and now they're being sued again?

Before they could even discuss it with Fang Qing, she went inside again.

"Oh dear, this is terrible. One military marriage lasts ten years, two military marriages last twenty years. If we compound our mistakes, won't the punishment be doubled? Old man, what does 'doubled punishment' mean for twenty years? Will we get shot?"

Jiang Mei cried uncontrollably, sobbing, "Damn it, Fang Qing, that jinx, she's really ruined Jianguo's life."

"Old man, please think of something! What should we do? What should we do... Who else can we turn to?"

Who to look for?

Aside from Fu Huaiyi, whom they knew and had some connections, there was no one else they knew here.

But they had already gone to Fu Huaiyi, who made it clear that he couldn't handle the matter and could only introduce a reliable lawyer at most.

He also gave them his lawyer's phone number and told them to call if needed.

"Old man, how about we hire a lawyer?"

"Hiring your own lawyer will cost you money."

“Paid lawyers are definitely more reliable than free ones. We lost the case, maybe because we didn’t pay for the lawyer.”

"Well..." The old man thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we make a phone call and ask how much it costs? If the price is acceptable, we can give it a try."

"I can see it."

The two went downstairs to make a phone call to inquire. Even though the other party knew they were introduced by Fu Huaiyi and could offer a "familiarity price," the price was still too high for them to accept.

What they found even more unacceptable was that the other party suggested they file another lawsuit first.

It's not a fight with Lu Jiangting, it's a fight with Fang Qing.

Fang Qing claims she was raped, so let's file a lawsuit to determine that it was consensual.

Both lawsuits require separate fees.

They felt they had encountered a heartless lawyer.

"Why split something into two lawsuits when one could have been resolved in one? I think he just wants to make money from one more case."

"They make money by representing people in court, that's for sure."

"Sigh! City people are so bad, there's not a single good one. I never expected that little Fu would introduce us to such a trap."

As the two talked, they went downstairs, where the neighbors had already been pointing and gossiping about them.

They were talking about their family matters, but as soon as they saw them arrive, they all shut up.

Wang Zhong's face darkened.

Jiang Mei's face stiffened, and she said with a hint of embarrassment, "The matter hasn't been settled yet. We believe our son isn't that kind of person. We're still looking for someone to represent us in court, and we believe the judge in the second instance will clear our son's name."

"The verdict has already been handed down; it's unlikely that winning on appeal will be so easy."

"We lost because we didn't have a lawyer. We heard that the other side hired a lawyer who paid a lot of money, while we... sigh! We didn't hire one. The lawyers assigned to us by the court were free. They just did whatever the other side said and couldn't help us at all. We plan to hire a better lawyer for the second trial."

Hearing her say this, the simple-minded residents were somewhat convinced.

"You're going to file a lawsuit, something so important. How can you use something for free? If it doesn't cost money, will they speak up for you properly? You can't skimp on this expense."

"Yes, yes, you're right, but the lawyer's fees are too expensive, and the lawyer even suggested we fight another case. I feel like it's a rip-off."

Jiang Mei recounted what she had just learned from the consultation.

Another neighbor remarked, "I think the lawyer is right."

Jiang Mei was taken aback. "But we've already spent so much money, and they said they can't guarantee a win. If they could guarantee a win, I'd sell everything I own to scrape together the money."

"How can you guarantee that? No lawyer can guarantee you'll win a case."

"That's right, that's how lawsuits are, no matter how much money you have, it's a bottomless pit. That's why people say, poor people shouldn't go to court, they simply can't afford the hassle."

Yes, we simply can't afford to go through all that trouble.

Everyone still tried to persuade them, saying that if their son was truly innocent, it was worth the money.

Money aside, you can only make money if you have something to sell.

Unfortunately, they also knew in their hearts that their son was not innocent; he had really done that shameless thing.
