Soon it was the seventh day of the first lunar month. After breakfast, Lin Mai took Doudou to the county court to sue the Wu family for using violence against her.
In this era, very few people file lawsuits, and even fewer file lawsuits against domestic violence.
The comrades in the county court were so busy that they were about to grow mushrooms. Finally, they finally came up with a lawsuit. They immediately approved the case and arranged for the hearing to be held on the twelfth day of the first lunar month.
Lin Mai is quite satisfied with this speed.
Litigation is time-consuming and laborious. Although the court session begins on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, it will take at least a month to complete the lawsuit.
Lin Mai also planned to take Dou Dou to the city to do small business after the Lantern Festival, so he would have to find a client to represent him in the lawsuit.
China only officially had the profession of lawyer in 1986, which was not available in this era.
However, you can entrust the lawsuit to the court, and the court will arrange staff to help her with the lawsuit, but a certain fee will be charged.
In Lin Mai's eyes, this fee is nothing compared to the cost of hiring a lawyer to litigate in later generations.
According to the regulations, after paying the commission fee of 30 yuan, she took Doudou back.
Although Grandpa Fang is a senior official, Grandma Fang is a retired grassroots cadre in Beijing.
The second elder is also well-informed, but no one around him has ever been involved in a lawsuit, so no one knows how to fight a lawsuit and thinks that the result will be available on the same day.
As soon as Lin and Mai and their daughter returned home, the couple couldn't wait to ask the court what the verdict was.
Lin Mai smiled and said: "The case was just accepted today, and the court session will be held on the 12th of the lunar calendar. It will take at least a month for the lawsuit to be settled, and the result will not come out so quickly."
Only then did the old couple realize how troublesome it is to litigate.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the tenth day of the first lunar month.
Considering that only during the Chinese New Year period, her mother and daughter had the opportunity to stay with the two elderly people.
After the Lantern Festival and going to the city to do business, there was no time to spend with Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang, so Lin Mai was at home thinking about delicious food every day.
The delicacies she cooks are soft and juicy, and can be eaten by the elderly and children.
On the afternoon of the tenth day of the lunar month, Lin Mai was making cakes at home.
Although I don’t have an oven at home, there is still a way to make this cake. Just change it from baking to steaming, but it is more time-consuming and labor-intensive.
As soon as the cake was freshly baked, someone from the police station came to inform Lin Mai about the results of the investigation into the marriage fraud case.
After they visited and investigated Wujia Village and Wangjia Village, almost all the villagers in the two villages believed that Lin Mai was the biggest victim in the marriage fraud case. Even her sister-in-law Deng Xiuzhi thought so.
In addition, Wu Xiaoyu took the initiative to plead guilty to the law and admitted that he planned and implemented the entire marriage fraud case. The public security organs have arrested him and brought him to justice.
Lin Mai was stunned.
She knew that Wu Xiaoyu loved Lin Bei very much, but she didn't expect that he would love her so much and put all the blame on her. What a cruel person!
But as long as he was happy, it was fine, but it was a pity that Lin Bei escaped.
Lin Mai asked with concern: "How many years will the criminal be sentenced?"
Since Wu Xiaoyu was lucky enough to catch up with the severe punishment, Lin Mai naturally hoped that he would be sentenced to a few more years, so as to further highlight his deep love for Lin Bei.
The policeman who came to report the results pondered for a moment and analyzed objectively:
"Although the criminal deceived you into a marriage, you also have the ability to judge right from wrong, so you must bear most of the responsibility for being deceived into a marriage.
If this situation is not during the period of severe crackdown, criticism and education will be the main method.
Now that I have caught up with the severe crackdown, I will definitely be sentenced, but it won’t be for a few years, probably about a year.”
Even if the sentence is only one year, Lin Mai is very satisfied.
By the time Wu Xiaoyu was released from prison, his life was almost over. In this era, there was great discrimination against labor reform prisoners.
Wu Xiaoyu was arrested by the police, and the Wu family became the target of criticism by the villagers. Everyone would take a detour when they saw the family, for fear of getting into bad luck.
Wu Xiaotao is already eighteen years old, and she has thick eyebrows and big eyes.
There were several matchmakers in and outside the village trying to arrange a marriage for her. They were all young men from local families with good financial conditions and good looks.
Although there are many daughters in the family, Wu Jingui and his wife do not have a serious preference for sons over daughters.
I have been carefully selecting my daughter’s future husband, and I hope Wu Xiaotao will live a good life in the future!
Before the in-laws could be chosen, Wu Xiaoyu was arrested by the police. Her husbands asked the matchmaker to tell them that they did not want to kiss her anymore.
The eldest daughter's marriage was ruined before she could even write about it, and Wu Xiaotao was so angry that she cried bitterly every day at home.
But this is not the biggest headache for Yao Cuihua.
What frightened her the most was that court staff actually came to the village to investigate whether her husband, wife and Wu Xiaoyu had been violent to Lin Mai.
Since the court staff came to investigate, he and his wife have been in panic all day long, fearing that they would be arrested by the public security organs like Wu Xiaoyu.
Yao Cuihua is afraid of hatred.
If Lin Bei, a vixen, hadn't fascinated their eldest son, how could Xiao Yu have planned and implemented this fraudulent marriage case, defrauding her family of money and belongings to give her a education and make her dress up beautifully.
Lin Mai would not have married into her Wu family and been abused by them, and she and her husband would not have faced jail time.
Since that vixen made their family uneasy, she couldn't let her have an easy time!
The day after Wu Xiaoyu was taken away, Yao Cuihua took the man to Wangjiacun to settle the score with Lin Bei.
Yunlai County No. 1 Middle School officially started school today. Lin Bei went to town to take a bus to school yesterday afternoon.
Yao Cuihua and his wife rushed to Wangjia Village and wanted to smash the Lin family to pieces, but Lin Jianguo and his son were both at home.
She and her husband couldn't do it, so they left in anger and went to Yunlai County No. 1 Middle School.
The bell rang for the end of get out of class in Yunlai County No. 1 Middle School, and many students poured out of the classroom, either to the playground to play basketball or to use the toilet.
No one noticed that a middle-aged couple in peasant attire entered the school angrily and went straight to the first and third graders of high school.
When they arrived at the first (third) class of high school, the two of them glanced at the few students in the classroom with cold expressions and immediately locked onto Lin Bei.
The couple's eyes suddenly burst into flames, and they rushed to Lin Bei and punched and kicked her.
Jin Bo was being pestered by Lin Bei. When he saw this, he quickly hid aside.
I have lived to be seventeen, and I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen anyone as shameless as Lin Bei.
Her ugly face had been exposed in front of him. Not only was she embarrassed when she saw him, she actually dared to come to him to explain and pretend to be pitiful!
Does this scheming girl feel that she is stupid and easy to deceive?
When Jin Bo saw Lin Bei being beaten, not only did he not sympathize with him, but he felt particularly relieved.
He also wanted to beat up Lin Bei, but he was a civilized man and couldn't do it.
It's okay now, someone is doing justice for God!
The couple beat Lin Bei and scolded her.
What a piece of shit, what a stinky butcher, all kinds of obscene words were thrown out wildly, attracting many students to come and watch.
That couple was none other than Yao Cuihua and Wu Jingui.
From their frenzied insults, the students roughly understood what was going on.
Lin Bei originally entered this school in place of her younger sister. In order to have enough money to pay tuition and have good food and clothing, she exchanged her sister for a bride price, but her sister took her to the police station for marriage fraud.
Lin Bei didn't want to go to jail, so she instigated the couple's eldest son to take the blame for her.
Because the couple was dissatisfied with Lin Bei's sister being their daughter-in-law, they violently treated her in various ways and will also face legal sanctions.
Lin Bei single-handedly caused such misery to their family. The couple couldn't bear it anymore, so they came to the school.
