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 here, I worked hard for almost half a year 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 had never mentioned this to him before, and was entirely taking care of his own mood.
"Just keep the favor in mind, but don't take it too seriously. Maybe it's just what he said. There have been a lot of clues recently, and you're just lucky." Wen Mengran saw Lu Beicen's stunned expression and comforted him again.
"Thank you, Xiaoran, 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 who has the same temperament.
"You're not being nice, but what I want to see most now is what expression someone will have when we finish this topic."
Wen Mengran's childishness made Lu Beicen couldn't help but laugh. After thinking about it, he still said: "If you are not of my race, don't pay attention."
Wen Mengran laughed out loud: "Okay, you are more enlightened than me, so let's do our best. We must first find a way to get the phone numbers of everyone else in this family except the mother...
"
The two people discussed a rough plan and started to contact each other separately. However, this topic has not yet reached the filming conditions. The case executed by the Quhu District People's Court can be filmed first.
Lu Beicen first went to the place where the plaintiff, Grandma Wang, and Ms. Xiong lived for an interview. She wanted to know firsthand 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 house that was renovated from an old tube building. From the kitchen to the bathroom to the bedroom and living room, it is a long strip. Fortunately, we live on the first floor.
A curtain was drawn on the balcony at the back and it was converted into a child's residence. In the middle was the couple's residence. The living room outside was next to the kitchen, separated by a bed, and was Grandma Wang's sleeping place. Such a situation
Below, the living room sandwiched in the middle has no lighting even in broad daylight.
It has to be said that their current living environment is indeed quite cramped, and they cannot 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 simply: "Did your family of three originally live with your parents?"
Ms. Xiong did not hide it, she shook her head and said: "The place where we used to live was demolished, and the house we built is far away. It is not convenient for our children to go to school. My father passed away early, so I moved here with my mother to be with her."
.”
"Did your parents and your brother and sister-in-law live together before?"
"We didn't live together before. Our home is relatively small. This house is 20 or 30 years old. When they got married, they lived in my brother's factory dormitory. Later, when the housing was renovated, my parents exchanged their working years for points.
I bought that apartment and renovated it.”
“Who paid for the house?”
"My parents were in poor health at that time, so my brother and sister-in-law provided the money to buy the house."
"I heard that your sister-in-law borrowed it from her parents' house."
"Then I don't know, but my sister-in-law came from the countryside. If her natal family had good conditions, why would she marry a worker like my brother? Moreover, our family's conditions were not very good at that time."
"What is the relationship between your brother and sister-in-law and the family?"
"Just like that, I will come back occasionally during holidays. Later, after my brother passed away, my sister-in-law never came. Even my niece was not allowed to visit grandma."
"Is there any conflict? Why is there such a stalemate?"
"There was no contradiction. We just felt that the little girl might not be of my brother's blood, so she was worried about what we might do."
Although Lu Beicen had heard about this, she was still a little surprised when Ms. Xiong said it like this: "Why do you think so? Do you and your wife think so, or do you and your parents think so?"
"When my father passed away, the child was still young and couldn't tell much. Later, when she grew up, the more my mother and I looked at her, the more we felt that this girl didn't look like ours. People said that her daughter looked like her father, but she was nothing like my brother.
Nothing like it."
This reason was far-fetched and left people speechless. Lu Beicen asked: "Since you have doubts, have you done a paternity test?"
"No, we didn't have any idea before. Later, after my brother passed away, we also asked, saying that we need to do a paternity test with our aunt or grandma. We can't do it here, and the price is very high. We don't want to find it ourselves.
, and it makes the deceased people uneasy, let’s forget about it.”
Lu Beicen looked at the middle-aged woman with a short height and fair face in front of him. She seemed to be very sincere and considerate of others. He couldn't help but sigh secretly. This was also a psychological excuse for his evil deeds.
In fact, she was afraid that deep down she felt that what she did was unkind, but the temptation of a house in the city center was too great.
When I interviewed Grandma Wang again, what she said was exactly the same as what her daughter said. It seems that the two of them had been talking about this together for a long time, and many of the words they said were not only exactly the same, but also had the same tone.
However, what the mother and daughter said were overturned one by one by the community workers invited by the court during the enforcement mediation organized by the Court's Enforcement Bureau. The mother and daughter were made red-faced by many mediators from all walks of life.
After the executive judge of the Enforcement Bureau briefly introduced the situation, both parties briefly stated their demands. Ms. Ying still wiped away tears as she did during the interview.
As soon as the two sides finished speaking, the judge asked the community staff to express their opinions. A middle-aged female director who was obviously familiar with the family stood up: "Grandma Wang, didn't you agree last time that you would think it over carefully when you return?
Are you going to wait until your granddaughter is an adult before talking about this? Why is it causing trouble again?"
Grandma Wang's face turned red and white. She mumbled and didn't know what she was talking about. Ms. Xiong stood up and said: "We just agreed to go home and think about it, but after much thinking, no matter what, the verdict has been issued, and this house belongs to us."
It’s our family’s responsibility to have this house.”
A female legal officer from the company next to her said very directly: "You can't say that. After all, this house is still shared by you. Besides, Grandma Wang, one of your granddaughters has no father. You just pity her and don't care about it."
How many years have it been? Do you have no place to live now or do you think your daughter-in-law is treating you badly?"
Grandma Wang immediately said that her daughter-in-law had never visited her. The community staff obviously knew the situation better than the executive judge, and immediately said: "Grandma Wang, you have social security, you are in good health, you are hearing and seeing, and you have your daughter to take care of you.
But that Xiaoying also has an underage daughter to raise. How can they survive on that little subsistence allowance every month?"
Ms. Ying's tears were like beads with broken strings: "Not only do I have no job, but I also owe a lot of debts for treatment before my husband died. They were all borrowed from my parents' family. I still have to pay back the debts. Their family doesn't have a penny to pay."
If I don’t help, if I don’t have this house to live in, what’s the difference between asking our mother and daughter to die together? Wuwuwuwu..."
Lu Beicen stood behind the camera and looked at Ms. Ying who kept sobbing. When they went to her home for an interview yesterday, they had the impression that she was as miserable as if she had been soaked in coptis water.
That small three-bedroom house with four bare walls. One room was full of scraps such as cardboard boxes and bottles that had to be sold for money. There was only one bed in one room, and the other room should belong to my daughter. Finally, besides the bed, there was more.
I bought a very old table and bookcase, as well as a vertical five-drawer chest. This is a home that has nothing to do with modernity. There is no TV, refrigerator, washing machine and other household appliances. Even the lights in the house are the most primitive incandescent ones.
Light bulb……
Those ruins and the woman in front of her completely merged into one, and the tears were the endless misery transformed from her heart.
Seeing that everyone present seemed to be looking at her sister-in-law with sympathy, Ms. Xiong immediately stood up and said: "Don't call me pitiful. How can anyone's life be so easy? I am also laid off now, and my family depends on my children."
My father earns money to support the family by himself. Although my mother has pension money, it is not enough to pay for her monthly medication. We are also unable to do what we want. You withdraw from the house and we will sell it.
, everyone can get a sum of money, you don’t have to be so tired, and we can live a little better, can’t we?”
"Where will our mother and daughter live if I sell the house? Wuwuwuwu, why am I so miserable? Wuwuwuwu..."
"You can rent a house. You, mother and daughter, can just 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 house? Sooner or later, you will get the number.
…”
"You are just forcing me to die...wuwuwuwu..."
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 staff member of another community in that area. He helped calculate the rental bill, then shook his head and said, "Ms. Xiong, since you mentioned low-rent housing, I have a suggestion.
See if you don't think about it from Ms. Ying, you should also think about it from the third generation of your Xiong family. There is always a granddaughter who is still here, or you can wait until they move to low-rent housing before moving out. Wang
Grandma, do you think this is okay?"
Ms. Xiong waved her hands quickly: "That's not okay. How can that be okay? That little girl is not a child of our Xiong family at all. Why should we think so much about her?"
As soon as these 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 telling lies with your eyes open, that little girl
We have watched her grow up, and she looks exactly like her father. You have no evidence to throw dirty water on your Xiong family's daughter-in-law for the sake of a house, which is not very kind."
"When your brother was still alive, your sister-in-law carried him upstairs and downstairs to the hospital every day for injections. Their family lived on the seventh floor. I have never seen you come to take care of me. Now you are not afraid of death if you say such things.
I'm so angry with you..."
The mediators on the side began to ask questions, and it was already clear that the sister-in-law had no evidence at all. People started to speak one after another, and even a woman with a more aggressive personality directly scolded the mother and daughter...
Due to strong pressure, the mother and daughter finally signed the execution mediation agreement and agreed to wait until Xiao Xiong went to college before disposing of the property.
