Great Lawyer

Chapter 104 Change of Mind ([-])

Qiu Ya fell to the ground, got up again, hugged Mei Shi and shook her, "Mother, wake up."

Mrs. Mei didn't wake up, so she hugged Mrs. Mei and sat in the alley all the time, neither shouting nor speaking, until it was getting dark before Mrs. Mei woke up.

"Qiuya, are you alright? Did he hit you?" Mrs. Mei hissed and hugged her daughter, "Let mother take a look."

Qiuya looked at Mrs. Mei and said, "Let him die! I want him to die!"

Mei's eyes widened in shock, "Qiuya, you...don't scare me, how could you say such a thing."

"If he doesn't die, grandma, grandpa, you, and I won't be able to live." Qiuya said, "Since he is going to die, why should he live so happily alone?"

Mei was stunned, looking at her daughter, speechless for a while.

"Don't fantasize, he won't give you money. Even if grandma died in front of him, he wouldn't even look at it." Qiuya said: "That's his mother, why should I let you take care of it alone. "

Mei said: "How can you say that, I am his wife, your daughter, this blood relationship cannot be broken. Grandma is also your grandma, she is my mother."

"No!" Qiuya said, "His wife is not you, but that bitch. I'm not her daughter either. In his eyes, I'm even worse than a dog."

Looking at her daughter's swollen nose, Mei's heart ached.

She doesn't care what she does, but her daughter is her life, and she doesn't want her daughter to get hurt.

"Then what should we do?" May asked.

Qiuya said: "Go to Mr. Du, he said that as long as you are not afraid, she will make him pay the price, not only lose money, but also send him to jail."

"But he has been out for a few years, we... still can't survive." Mei said in fear.

Qiuya broke the boat, "Didn't Grandpa Lizheng say that even a cow can't live for a few months after being imprisoned, and a villain like him will definitely not be able to get out."

"Okay, mother, mother listens to you." Mei's desperation, her life and death can be ignored, but she can't ruin her daughter, "Let's go to Mr. Du."

Qiuya supported Mrs. Mei, and the two of them staggered to the door of Sanchi Hall in the dark, and knocked on the door. Song Jiyi enthusiastically opened his collar and fanned, and shouted: "Who, who, so late!"

When the door opened, he jumped, covered his collar subconsciously, and quickly tidied up his clothes, "You, you, why, why, you're back."

"Sir." Qiu Ya knelt down, "We sue, sue him for jail!"

Song Jiyi glanced into the room, Qian Daoan and the three of them came out, and he asked, "No, no, no complaints?"

"Don't complain!" Qiu Ya said, tugging at her mother's clothes, Mei Shi also nodded, "We listen to the gentlemen in everything."

Song Jiyi heaved a sigh of relief, and Dou Rongxing had also come out. He helped the mother and son up, and said, "Just figure it out. But Mr. Du doesn't live here at night, and things will have to wait until she comes tomorrow morning. You two, today where do you live?"

"Let's just find a place to make do for the night." Qiuya said, "Since Mr. Du is not here, let's come back tomorrow morning."

Dou Rongxing hesitated for a moment, then looked back at Dian Zhou Xiao and Qian Daoan.

"There is an inn at the opposite door, you go to stay, I will pay for you." Qian Daoan took the money bag to them, "When you settle the legal costs later, just return it to me."

Mei didn't dare to take it, but Qiu Ya took it, saying: "Okay! Thank you sir."

With that said, he helped Mrs. Mei go to live opposite.

Qian Daoan hesitated and said to Zhou Xiao: "Jiuyan...would he be angry? She said that this case would not be accepted."

"She didn't answer because she weighed the pros and cons, and it wasn't worth it. But if Mrs. Mei figured it out, Jiuyan wouldn't refuse." Zhou Xiao closed the door with a smile, and said, "She is right about things and not about people. angry."

Qian Daoan thinks it makes sense.

On the second day, Du Jiuyan went to Sanchitang. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mrs. Mei sitting in the main hall with Qiuya, eating breakfast voraciously. She put the presents she got in the morning on the table. A piece of biscuits and a pair of black cloth shoes.

"This shoe...how do you know how big your feet are." Dou Rongxing looked puzzled.

Du Jiuyan was also speechless, "It is said that I walked along the muddy ground and followed me to measure it. I tried it and it fit just right."

"A master." Dou Rongxing sighed.

Du Jiuyan sat down, and Mei's mother and son stood up wiping their mouths.

"What's the matter, have you figured it out?" Du Jiuyan looked at Mei Shi, "No matter what the result is, you won't regret it?"

Mei Shi nodded and said, "No, I don't regret it."

"That's good. The complaint that was submitted has not been withdrawn anyway, so we will continue with this case." Du Jiuyan said: "You guys have been resting for the past two days, and it is estimated that the court will start in three to five days. Don't run around, and don't Go find him again."

Mei Shi and Qiu Ya nodded yes.

"I'll take a look around Zhu Yizheng's shop with you." Du Jiuyan and Dou Rongxing went out while talking, Mrs. Mei sat in a daze, Qiuya cleverly swept the floor with a broom, Qian Daoan stopped him and said, "Just rest." No, there's no need to clean up here."

Qiu Ya said: "I'm idle, I'm idle, I'll finish it in a while, sir, just take a rest."

After all, she was a ten-year-old girl, and Qian Daoan was too embarrassed to talk too much. She stood aside mutteringly, and Qiuya started to do things. After a while, Mrs. Mei followed her, and the two cleaned up the inside and outside. They also washed the dirty clothes of the four people who had been imprisoned for five or six days.

Qian Daoan blushed and went out on the pretext of having something to do, Zhou Xiao smiled and went to buy snacks for Qiuya.

Here, Du Jiuyan was strolling around the pen and ink shop next door to Yizheng Cloth. The clerk knew her, and when he saw her, he asked, "Are you here for business, sir, or for shopping?"

"If I'm on an errand, is my brother willing to help?" Du Jiuyan asked.

The little brother laughed, "As long as Mr. Du doesn't sue the villain, the villain knows nothing and will not hide anything from the gentleman. The gentleman is a good person, and the one who sues must be a bad person, so the villain is even more obliged to do so."

"Thank you." Du Jiuyan was not polite, and asked: "The Buzhuang next door, the person who used to be a partner with Zhu Yizheng, have you seen it?"

The buddy nodded, "Yes, Mr. Qin is very nice, honest and easy to talk to. When he first opened the business, he even gave the villain a piece of blue cloth, and now the clothes made of that cloth are still worn by my mother."

"How long has Qin Xianggong been dead and Zhu Yizheng married?"

The clerk replied: "Mr. Qin died in May. I remember it clearly. When the official came to ask, it happened to be raining heavily on May [-]. If Mr. Zhu got married, the weather would be very hot. I remember that I used to ask for wedding candies." The thin shirts I wore when I was in the middle of June."

"It's been less than a month, so who took back Xianggong Qin's body?" Du Jiuyan asked: "When did Zhu Yizheng and the Liu family start contacting, do you know this?"

The clerk chuckled and said, "Every villain knows what Mr. Du asked. Not only the villain knows, but anyone who has lived on this street for more than seven or eight years knows it."

"Qin Xianggong collected the corpse, it was Zhu Xianggong who collected it, and the mourning hall was outside the city, so we all went." The waiter replied: "As for Zhu Xianggong and the Liu family, it seems that Qin Xianggong knew the Liu family first, and he went to the Liu family to deliver the cloth. It seems to be moving around.”

"We were joking at the time, saying why the Liu family didn't look at Mr. Qin, but Mr. Zhu. We probably thought Mr. Zhu was tall and big, and he was very similar to Mr. Liu."

Du Jiuyan also felt strange, she smiled and said: "Then when Zhu Yizheng got married, it was very lively? I just heard you say that you went to ask for wedding candies."

"Well, all the candy is scattered on the street, and I went to drink. Everyone said that Mr. Zhu and Ms. Liu are a good match. Now it should be called Mrs. Liu." As he spoke, he glanced outside again and whispered Said: "Sister-in-law Liu is tall and strong, plus his old man, no one on this street dares to provoke them."

"I really dare not provoke you." Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, brother, for bothering me today."

The buddy said he didn't dare, and sent them out with a smile.

When Du Jiuyan came out, he raised his head and took a look at Zhengzheng Cloth Shop. The storefront was not very big, but the business was very good. Many customers came in and out to choose the fabrics.

Coincidentally, just as she was about to leave, she saw a tall and tall woman coming out with a ten-month-old child in her arms. She saw Du Jiuyan in a blink of an eye, glanced at her, and walked down the street. away.

The woman wore a satin dress, a golden hairpin, and her eyebrows and eyes were delicately dressed.

Both appearance and temperament are much better than Mei's.

"This must be the Liu family." Dou Rongxing sighed, with a feeling of helplessness, "Ninth Brother, you look really well dressed."

Du Jiuyan didn't say anything, and went directly to the yamen. Jiao San raised his eyebrows when he heard what she said, "...I haven't seen you for a while, and you'll find me something when we meet."

"Third Master, if you are idle, you are idle. You can go there. If it were you, I'm afraid it won't work if someone else goes." Du Jiuyan said.

This is a normal procedure for her, and Jiao San has no way to refuse. At most, he would chat with her, then he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll go right away. Remember to buy me a drink with the legal fees."

Du Jiuyan smiled and said yes.

Jiao San took his two brothers to Yizhengbu Village. Without saying anything, he was forced to copy the other party's ledger every month for nearly five months. Go to Sanchitang to give Du Jiuyan.

Du Jiuyan took the copy of the ten-month monthly ledgers of the two shops, and said to Mei: "January is the year after the year, and the monthly profit is 62 taels, and the two shops are nearly 140 taels."

"The season changes in April, and this month's profit is nearly 90 taels, and the two shops are nearly 200 taels." Du Jiuyan said: "For such a family, 500 taels is more than enough."

Mrs. Mei was dumbfounded when she heard that, she had so much money in a month, how much money would she get in that year.

She knew that Zhu Yizheng was rich, but she never thought that he would be so rich.

"We went to the yamen today, Mr. Fu said that the hall will open the day after tomorrow, you can wait at ease!" Du Jiuyan said.

Mei Shi should be.

On the second day, Fu Tao sent the official documents of the yamen to Yizheng Buzhuang. After seeing Zhu Yizheng, like a mad cow, he searched for Mei's mother and daughter all over Shaoyang until evening, and then went back in a bad mood.

His father-in-law Liu Qingniu read the official document, frowned and said: "If you are told to suspend your wife and remarry, you will not be able to fight this case."

"Father, what should we do then? It's impossible for our money to be given to that bitch mother and daughter." Liu Shixiu raised her eyebrows upside down, "We'll also hire a lawyer."

Zhu Yizheng nodded, "Please ask a litigator for 50 taels, at most 100 taels, but she asked me for 500 taels as soon as she asked, which is a good idea."

Liu Qingniu nodded and said, "Go to Southwest tomorrow morning. Now that Southwest and Sanchitang are at odds, they will definitely accept our lawsuit."

Zhu Yi should be right, and went to the southwest early the next morning.
