Tao Haijun took a sip of the tea that Cao Yajuan made for him, thought about it for a while, made a deliberate decision, and then said slowly and calmly: "It's still unclear whether the case will pass the court in the end, but if you think about it in advance, there is nothing wrong."
Wang Yifan wanted to speak, but Wang Yue glared back.
Cao Yajuan gritted her teeth, took out a thick envelope from her apron pocket, stuffed it into Tao Haijun's hand, and said, "I'll leave it to you, Haijun, to deal with my brother!"
Tao Haijun's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will do my best. If a lawyer is needed, I will personally defend Cao Feng."
He really didn't expect that Wang Yue's family would be willing to spend money for Cao Feng. In just half an hour, he got more than 20,000 yuan, plus two red Chinese flowers.
"Haijun, we'll leave this to you. Your parents and I have been neighbors for so many years, and we always interact with each other. You must take it seriously!"
Wang Yue did not act like an elder, but tried to use the familiar relationship between the two families to make Tao Haijun do his best.
The old Wang family, including the Cao family, did not have any powerful figures. Cao Feng was barely promising, and more hope was placed on Wang Yifan's generation.
But now, Cao Feng encountered difficulties and could only place his hope on an outsider.
"Uncle, don't you know what I am like?" Tao Haijun stuffed the money into his briefcase and said, "However, I still want to remind you about this matter. You must be mentally prepared for the worst. Of course,
Don’t worry too much, the country’s laws are fair after all!”
As soon as Tao Haijun said these words, the expressions of the couple changed again and again.
There is clearly a subtext in the words.
Wang Yue said anxiously: "Haijun, your aunt and I are both from the countryside. We don't know much about some things. You must help us take care of things that need to be done. The money should be used wherever it is needed. We only hope that Cao Feng
It’s good to be safe and sound!”
Tao Haijun nodded slightly, then patted his briefcase and let out a long sigh.
"Don't sigh!" Wang Yue said sadly, but suddenly felt a slight bump behind him.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket and glanced down. Cao Yajuan was kicking him repeatedly.
This is a tacit understanding between husband and wife. Cao Yajuan told him not to talk anymore.
Although he was puzzled, he really stopped talking, handed Tao Haijun a cigarette, lit one for himself, and took a long puff.
"Haijun, I really leave this matter to you. We, as a couple, are begging you!"
Cao Yajuan took over the conversation. There are some words that women are easier to say than men.
"Don't worry about this, Auntie, I'll do my best!" He said solemnly, but the expression on his face still looked embarrassed.
Cao Yajuan spoke humbly, but never mentioned the money again.
In fact, according to the previous conditions of Lao Wang's family, they spent 20,000 yuan at once, which was considered as all they had.
It's just that Tao Haijun saw how easily they took it, and thought he could squeeze out a little more. But Cao Yajuan's temperament couldn't be that easy.
Finally, he sat for another half an hour. Seeing that the couple probably really didn't have any more money, he said goodbye.
When Wang Yue and Cao Yajuan sent people away, they couldn't avoid some warnings and requests.
However, even though the money and cigarettes were collected, Tao Haijun never said a word of assurance.
The couple returned to the house and sat in silence for a while.
Wang Yue then asked: "Why did you stop me just now? Something happened to my brother-in-law. Since our family can help, why don't we help more?"
Cao Yajuan reluctantly responded: "I know what you mean, but I just felt that Tao Haijun didn't seem like someone who could help. He was only focused on the money. You've been trusting him for so long, and he doesn't even have any news."
After asking about it, I don’t know if it’s because I really didn’t find out, or because I didn’t want to reveal it to us easily!”
Wang Yue couldn't help but remain silent after hearing this.
"Haijun is the most promising among our relatives and friends. If we don't look for him, who else can we look for? If money can solve the problem, I don't care about money, really!"
Cao Yajuan gently held her husband's rough hand and said: "I know, can I not know what kind of person you are, but 20,000 yuan is already a lot, and more importantly, we spend this
Whether money can solve this problem, if it is entrusted to someone else, then it is not worth it!"
"What should we do?"
he asks.
"Think of other options!"
The two couples discussed in silence, occasionally spreading dog food along the way. Wang Yifan realized for the first time how important the right to speak is as a member of this family.
He tried to speak.
But the couple had planned to go to Wang Yifan's grandmother's house after dinner, and they didn't give him any time to talk. They even ordered him to stay at home and stop running around.
Wang Yifan finally followed them to his grandmother's house after a hard struggle.
The atmosphere at grandma's house was relatively more depressing. Grandpa was sitting in a recliner, smoking a cigarette, filling the small room with smoke.
Grandma was sitting on a small bench, holding the soles of her shoes stitch by stitch.
In the past, when Wang Yifan, her eldest grandson, came to her door, she would have greeted her with a smile on her face, but this time she reluctantly smiled at her.
The aunt, uncle, aunt, and uncle were sitting around the Eight Immortals table in the living room, each looking at each other, speechless for a moment.
Grandma had a total of three girls and one boy. Cao Feng was the youngest son and he was quite doted on. The eldest sisters also took good care of this little brother.
Although my grandfather never went to school, he was a knowledgeable person. The Cao family's family tradition has always been strict and they treat their children equally, so the relationship between the siblings is very harmonious and they help each other a lot.
Even though the daughters are getting married one after another, over the years, they will often go back to visit their elders, buy many things, and honor their elders, uncles, uncles, including Wang Yue, although each of them has something to say.
A minor flaw in his character, but he never said anything about it.
However, once something happens to Cao Feng, the Cao family will inevitably be thrown into chaos.
Everyone is sick and has the urge to seek medical treatment urgently.
But after all, they were farmers for three generations and were from rural areas with limited connections. Tao Haijun, who opened a law firm in the city, was the one they knew who had the closest exposure to this matter.
People.
As for other people with whom I have interacted, such as the head of a certain bureau or someone from the municipal government, it is extremely difficult to even get a phone number, let alone ask them clearly about the matter.
The family discussed and discussed, but it seemed that apart from relying on a limited relationship, they could only wait for the matter to finally settle.
