under the spotlight

Chapter 145 Power
When Lu Beicen returned to the office, there was still no one in the office at this time. His colleagues were either on business trips, writing manuscripts at home, or editing films in the computer room.

Wen Mengran blinked at her, and said softly: "When I first came, I spent almost half a year in soy sauce before I was assigned a mediation topic from the leader."

Lu Beicen immediately understood that no matter what the reason was, Wang Wei was taking care of himself, while Wen Mengran hadn't mentioned this to him before, and was completely taking care of his mood.

"Just keep it in your heart, but don't pay too much attention to it. Maybe it's what he said. There are a lot of clues recently, so you're just lucky." Seeing Lu Beicen's dazed face, Wen Mengran comforted him again.

"Thank you, Xiao Ran, I am really lucky." Lu Beicen thanked Wen Mengran very sincerely. It is really rare to find such a colleague who is both a teacher and a friend, and also has the same temperament.

"You're being rude, but what I want to see most now is what kind of expression someone will have when we make this topic."

Lu Beicen couldn't help laughing at Wen Mengran's childishness. After thinking about it, he said, "It's not my race, so don't worry about it."

Wen Mengran laughed out loud: "Okay, your awareness is higher than mine, so let's do our best. We have to find a way to get the phone numbers of other people in this family except this mother... "

The two discussed a general solution and began to communicate separately. However, the topic selection has not yet met the shooting conditions, and the case enforced by the Quhu District People's Court can start filming first.

Lu Beicen first went to the place where the plaintiff, Grandma Wang and Ms. Xiong lived, to conduct an interview. She wanted to know about the current living environment of the mother and daughter.

Grandma Wang and her daughter's family of three live in a one-bedroom, one-living room house after the reconstruction of an old tube building. From the kitchen to the bathroom to the bedroom and the living room, it is a long strip. Fortunately, they live on the first floor. A curtain was pulled on the balcony at the back, and it was changed into a child’s residence. In the middle is the residence of the husband and wife. The living room outside is next to the kitchen, separated by a bed, which is the sleeping place of Grandma Wang. Below, the living room sandwiched in the middle, even in broad daylight, does not have any lighting.

I have to say that their current living environment is indeed quite cramped, and they can't even conduct regular interviews indoors, so they can only move the interview place outside.

The first person to be interviewed was Ms. Xiong. Lu Beicen asked very simply: "Did your family of three live with your parents?"

Ms. Xiong didn't hide it, she shook her head and said: "The place we used to live was demolished, and the house we built is far away. It's not convenient for the children to go to school. My father passed away early, so I moved here to my mother to be with her. .”

"Did your parents live with your brother and sister-in-law before?"

"We didn't live together before. Our house is relatively narrow. This house has been around for 30 or [-] years. When they got married, they lived in the dormitory in my brother's factory. Later, when the housing reform was carried out, my parents exchanged their working years for points and bought The suite was changed to another room.”

"Who paid for the house?"

"My parents were in poor health at the time, and my brother and sister-in-law paid for the house."

"I heard that your sister-in-law borrowed it from her natal home."

"Then I don't know, but my sister-in-law came from the countryside. If her natal family had good conditions, why did she marry a worker like my brother, and our family's conditions were really not very good at that time."

"How is your brother and sister-in-law's relationship with the family?"

"That's it. I will come back occasionally during the holidays. Later, after my brother passed away, my sister-in-law never came. Even my niece was not allowed to see grandma."

"Is there any conflict in the middle? Why is there such a deadlock?"

"There is no contradiction, we felt that the little girl might not be of my brother's blood, so she was worried about what we did."

Although Lu Beicen had already heard about this incident, she was still a little surprised when Ms. Xiong said this: "Why do you think so? Do you and your husband think so, or do you and your parents think so?"

"When my father died, the child was still young and couldn't see anything. Later, when I grew up, the more my mother and I looked at the girl, the more I felt that this girl was not like our family. People said that the daughter was like a father, but she was a little bit like my brother. Neither."

This reason is both far-fetched and speechless, Lu Beicen asked: "Since you doubt it, have you done a paternity test?"

"No, we didn't have any ideas before. Later, after my brother passed away, we also asked about it, saying that we wanted to do a paternity test with my aunt or grandma. We can't do it here, and the price is very high. We don't want to find it ourselves. , and make the dead people uneasy, let’s forget it.”

Lu Beicen looked at this middle-aged woman who was not tall and had a fair face, who spoke as if she was very sincere and thoughtful of others, and couldn't help sighing to herself, this was also trying to find a psychological excuse for his evil, In fact, she was afraid that deep down in her heart she felt that what she did was unkind, but the temptation of a house in the city center was too great.

When I interviewed that Grandma Wang again, what she said was exactly the same as that of her daughter. Presumably, the two of them have been talking about this matter together for a long time, and when they uttered many words, not only the words were exactly the same, but even the tone of voice was the same.

However, what the mother and daughter said was overturned one by one by the community workers invited by the court during the enforcement mediation organized by the Court's Executive Bureau.

After the executive judge of the executive bureau gave a brief introduction to the situation, both parties briefly explained their appeals. Ms. Ying was still wiping tears as she did during the interview.

As soon as the two sides finished speaking, the judge asked the staff of the community to express their opinions, and a middle-aged female director who was obviously familiar with the family stood up: "Grandma Wang, didn't you all agree last time that you will think about it when you go back, Wait until your granddaughter is an adult and then talk about it? Why are you making trouble again?"

Grandma Wang's face turned red and turned pale, and she muttered, not knowing what she was talking about. Ms. Xiong stood up and said, "We just agreed to go home and think about it, but after much deliberation, no matter what, the verdict has been handed down, and this house is our house." Family, we deserve this house."

A female legal officer of a company next to her said directly: "You can't say that. After all, this house is still shared by several parties. Besides, Grandma Wang and your granddaughter have lost their father. You just pity her and don't care about it." How many years, do you have no place to live now or do you think your daughter-in-law treats you badly?"

Grandma Wang immediately said that her daughter-in-law had never visited her, and the community workers obviously knew the situation better than the executive judge, so she immediately said, "Grandma Wang, you have social insurance, are healthy, have hearing and eyesight, and have a daughter to take care of you. But that Xiaoying still has an underage daughter to support, how can their mother and daughter survive on that little subsistence allowance every month?"

Ms. Ying's tears were like beads with a broken thread: "Not only did I not work, but my husband also owed a lot of debts for medical treatment before he died, all of which were borrowed from my natal family. No help. If I don’t have this house to live in, what’s the difference between asking us mother and daughter to die together? Woooooooooooooooooo…”

Lu Beicen stood behind the camera and looked at Ms. Ying who was crying non-stop. When she went to interview her home yesterday, she left them with the impression that she was suffering from soaking in Coptis chinensis water.

The small three-bedroom and one living room with four walls, one room is full of discarded products such as cardboard boxes and bottles that are sold for money, one room has only one bed, and the other room should belong to the daughter. I bought a very old desk and bookcase, and a vertical chest of drawers.This is a family that has nothing to do with modernization. There are no televisions, refrigerators, washing machines and other household appliances. Even the lights in the house are the most primitive incandescent bulbs...

Those dilapidated and the woman in front of her completely merged into one, and the tears were the endless misery that was imagined in her heart.

Ms. Xiong saw that everyone in the room seemed to cast sympathetic glances like her sister-in-law, and immediately stood up and said, "Don't be pitiful, whose life will be easier. I am also laid off now, and the family depends on the children. My father earns money to support the whole family. Although my mother has pension funds, the money is not enough for her monthly medical expenses. We also have more than enough energy. You quit the house, and we will sell the house , everyone can get a sum of money, and you don't have to be so tired, so we can live a little better, can't we?"

"I sold the house, where will our mother and daughter live? Wuwuwuwu, why am I so miserable? Wuwuwuwu..."

"You can rent a house. You mother and daughter can rent a one-bedroom house. Why do you want to live in a house as big as three bedrooms and one living room? Besides, didn't you apply for a low-rent housing? Sooner or later you will be able to win the lottery ..."

"You are forcing me to die... woo woo woo..."

Seeing that the two sides started talking again, the judge immediately interrupted the conversation between the two and signaled a mediator to stand up and speak.

The mediator was a worker from another community in that urban area. He helped to settle the bill for renting a house, then shook his head and said, "Ms. Xiong, since you mentioned low-rent housing, I have a suggestion. You Seeing that you don't think about it from Ms. Ying, you should also think about it from the third generation of your Xiong family. Grandma always has a granddaughter who is still here, or wait until they move to low-rent housing before moving out, Wang Grandma, do you think this is okay?"

Ms. Xiong quickly waved her hand: "That's not okay, how can it work, that little girl is not a child of our Xiong family at all, why should we think so much about her?"

As soon as the words came out, the scene immediately exploded. Ms. Ying was the first to start crying. The director of their community immediately stood up angrily, pointed at Ms. Xiong and said, "You are just talking nonsense, that little girl We watched her grow up, she looks exactly like her father, you have no proof, it is not very kind to pour dirty water on your Xiong's daughter-in-law for a house."

"When your brother was still there, your sister-in-law carried him up and down to the hospital every day for an injection. Their house lived on the seventh floor. I have never seen you come to take care of me once. Now that you say things like this, you are not afraid of death. I'm pissed off by you..."

The mediator next to him began to ask questions in a hurry, and he had already found out that the sister-in-law had no evidence at all, and people started to speak up one after another, and even some women with a more aggressive personality directly scolded the mother and daughter...

Under strong pressure, the mother and daughter finally signed the mediation agreement, agreeing to deal with the property after Cub went to college.
