Chapter 64 Preparing for the Trial
Only now do I understand how luxurious and precious the word home is to Mi Lan.
I nodded: "Okay, let's go home."
We walked forward, and she looked up at me. Perhaps seeing my silence or worry, she burst into tears and smiled: "Don't pity me, I'm actually quite lucky."
"What kind of lucky trick?" I asked with a wry smile.
This girl is so stupid and naive, even now she feels she is lucky.
In front of me, she never complained about the unfairness of the world to her.
When she sees a wild cat on the roadside, she will think about leaving a piece of ham to feed the cat during breakfast;
She is reluctant to spend money on food and clothing, but she believes that spending two hundred yuan to burn incense and worship Buddha is useful;
When she sees poor farmers like Wei Zhengjie, she will feel distressed and beg me to help them and his son. In fact, her own life may not be as good as that of Wei Zhengjie and Wei Lai's family.
She cleans, buys groceries, cooks, and does laundry every day, as if I am working outside to make money, so she shouldn't be lazy at home.
I dumped the unpalatable food she cooked into the trash can. Mi Lan was not angry, she just complained that I wasted the fruits of her labor.
What kind of girl is she...
Mi Lan sat in the passenger seat, clasped her fingers and said: "Look, if I hadn't come to the sea to find my dad, I wouldn't have left the small mountain village; if I hadn't left the village, I wouldn't have gone to work; if I hadn't gone to work, I would have
I won’t go to a bar to drink; if I don’t drink, I won’t meet a beast like you…”
Mi Lan's pretty face turned red, and she touched her belly again: "There won't be a baby, right? There are plans for it, so I'm lucky."
I was stunned for a moment, thinking that even though this girl had no education, she could still make sense of her fallacies.
It’s true, if it hadn’t been for what happened before her, Mi Lan wouldn’t have met me.
But is it lucky that Mi Lan met me?
Looking at Mi Lan's side face, I felt a little bitter.
When I got home, the husband introduced by Zhao Dehai the day after tomorrow was in jail, and the case of my wife's divorce and house division was about to go to court.
I turned on the computer to think about what to say in court, and to sort out my thoughts.
Mi Lan saw that I was working and didn't dare to disturb me, so she sat on the small bed behind her and played with her mobile phone.
He took advantage of every opportunity to show me pictures on his phone and asked me if the baby would look good in this dress after he was born.
I smiled and said, it looks good.
In fact, I feel quite panicked. Sometimes I feel that I am just a childish child. Am I going to be a father?
Mi Lan put a lot of psychological pressure on me.
But Mi Lan only found out about the death of her father Mi Weijun today, and it's hard for me to discuss this issue with her.
Afraid that Mi Lan would be sad.
I excused myself to go out to smoke, and the phone rang. It was the sarcastic Ms. Wang.
He opened his mouth with joy and said, "Lawyer Lu, it's so late, so I didn't disturb you, did I?"
I thought to myself that the sun really came out in the west today, and did I learn to use polite words?
I said angrily, "I'm not bothering you. What's wrong?"
Ms. Wang couldn't hide her excitement on the other end of the phone: "Let me tell you, the house was sold yesterday, and the buyer transferred half of the house payment to me. He disliked the decoration of my house because it was too old, and said he wanted to
It was renovated, so I gave him a key. It seems that the work has already started..."
I subconsciously asked: "Where does the old lady live now?"
"Her, the neighbor thinks she is pitiful. She is temporarily staying at the neighbor's house for two days. I won't care about her."
Her tone was like throwing away a big burden, and she said that when the full payment was received, she could completely drive the old lady away and draw a clear line with the family.
I smiled bitterly and said, "The case hasn't gone to trial yet. You have to wait until the court makes a ruling before you can get the money. Before the court makes a ruling and the judgment is obtained, it will still be the joint property of the husband and wife."
In our country, whether it is a civil or criminal case, the court's judgment has the highest validity.
Before the verdict is announced, even if you predict victory in advance based on various evidence, facts, laws and principles, you cannot handle property and criminal suspects privately.
"Oh, I know. I just told you that the court will be held the day after tomorrow, right?"
Ms. Wang sounded a little impatient: "I will go with you then. The old lady can't afford a lawyer. We will win. When the full payment is received, I will give the old lady half. In fact, if it were not for the law, this money
I don’t want to give her a penny! That heartless white-pink guy just kept this house and drained all his savings..."
Ms. Wang is still so heartless. I think of the blind old lady I saw at Ms. Wang's house that day, and I feel quite uncomfortable.
Mi Lan saw that I didn't go back after finishing my cigarette, so she walked over to the door and rubbed her eyes, murmuring: "Lu Yao, what are you thinking about? I'm almost asleep."
In the past, I would not have told Mi Lan about work matters.
I don’t think she understands, so why are you telling her this?
But on this case, I really want to hear Mi Lan's opinion.
Because I think Mi Lan’s view of the world is almost as optimistic and correct as returning to nature.
So I put my hands on the back of my head and told Mi Lan about the case while lying on the bed.
After listening to this, Mi Lan lay on her side next to me and frowned: "This old lady is very pitiful. This house will be gone in the future. Where will she go? The child is in jail and no one will care for her until the end of her life. Her eyes
What should I do if I can’t even see it?”
Mi Lan rolled her eyes again: "But you, a money-minded person like you, have already represented Ms. Wang, so you won't help her after receiving the money?"
Mi Lan may have felt that this single bed was a bit crowded for two people to sleep on, so she shrank her buttocks toward the wall: "Push in, don't fall off."
"Oh." I rubbed it in.
After she finished speaking, she was afraid that I would go out and sleep on the sofa, so she hugged me tightly and said a little embarrassedly: "Lu Yao, it's cold, but it's still warm if we sleep together... Can we buy a big bed? You don't need to be there."
The money was given to me by Lao Lu."
I chuckled: "Who wants to sleep with you? Don't think about good things. Mi Lan, tell me honestly, are you greedy for my body?"
"Bah! Who covets your body! How shameless!" Mi Lan blushed even more and pretended to hit me with her pink fist.
I squeezed her fist and said with a bad smile: "Who takes the initiative to hug me every night? Who do you think is more shameless?"
Mi Lan's face was so close, she blushed fiercely, her chest rose and fell with her nervous breathing, and she was pressed tightly against my arm. Her breathing was rapid, and some strands of hair stuck to her cheeks, making her look particularly charming.
I'm somewhat distracted.
Perhaps seeing me staring at her intently, Mi Lan quickly turned over like a thief, facing me with her waist and hips: "Ignore you."
I turned off the light and held Mi Lan's waist in the darkness.
At first she was a little angry and pushed my hand away, but the second time she intertwined her fingers with mine and held them tightly.
Chapter completed!
