Chapter 44: Lawyers

Old Joe's daughter was also listening, and when she heard her old father say that she had no job and no source of income, she couldn't help but wipe away a handful of tears.

Here again, there is a cultural difference between East and West.

Oriental women have a job, and achieving economic independence is the mainstream value consciousness.

But the West is different, there are so many housewives here! It's unimaginable in the East!

Not to mention the matter of happy education, even women who have a high education, or even after graduating from a prestigious university, have a large number of people who choose to go home to become housewives after marriage.

It seems to be a matter of course for men to earn money to support their families and for women to take care of the housework and children.

At present, this eighty-year-old man is out to rob, and the middle-aged woman has hands and feet, but she stays at home without disaster or disease, washing clothes every day and sending children, which is also the general state here, and Bella has no position to accuse the other party.

She wasn't going to talk nonsense on the issue of women's rights, it would be far away, she comforted Old Joe.

"You calm down, anger can't solve the problem, we can resort to law, and I will consult a lawyer later on the pension matter...... Let's talk about the fact that the Bank of the West allows you to buy wealth management products. ”

The old man was also very interested in this topic, and he began to talk endlessly about how the bank staff tricked him into buying wealth management products, and then lost all the principal, and he had to use his house to offset the debt.

The old man burst into tears, and Bella was a little uncomfortable.

What that steel factory and Stark Industries did was to cheat, rely on your pension, little by little.

The bank fucked up, using a lot of professional jargon to confuse the old man, and let him buy wealth management products while he was confused.

People here have no habit of saving, 30 percent of the people don't even have a thousand dollars in savings, and the old man and his whole family have to rely on his pension to make ends meet, what savings can he have?

Listening to what the other party said, there is no risk, high rate of return, high-quality projects, and what national policy support, the eighty-year-old man has long been out of touch with the times, what can he discriminate?

Lao Qiao and many of his co-workers used their houses as collateral, and then bought wealth management products that the bank staff would not have bought themselves.

......

Bella and Natasha sighed and left Old Joe's house, and then went to Willy Sr., who was eighty-five years old. There was no one at home, and when I inquired, I learned that the old man was admitted to the hospital because of kidney failure, and now he is on a ventilator.

The remaining eighty-one-year-old Yar was quite talkative, but his girlfriend urged them so much that she spoke to them for ten minutes and then left.

"Eighty-one can still find a girlfriend?!"

Seeing the silver-haired, seemingly seventy-year-old grandmother sweetly holding the hand of the eighty-one-year-old Yar, Bella was really shocked.

Natasha held up three fingers, a rare and strange expression: "What is this?" Old Yar has declared on many occasions that every morning, he can do it with his girlfriend three times! ”

Bella took a closer look at Uncle Yar twice, this person is not easy to walk, more than ten meters away, walking in small steps for a long time, rubbing forward a little bit, and his legs and feet can't move! Can such a body do it three times a morning? I don't know you old Americans very well!

"You're such nice people!"

"May God bless you."

"Good boy, there are so few enthusiastic people like you now!"

Bella and Natasha asked seven or eight families of elderly people who had the same experience again, and they received a lot of praise after expressing their willingness to help the elderly get justice.

These things are useless to Natasha, that is, to make herself happy after listening to them, but they are of great use to Bella!

The praise of the old people is all sincere, and her enthusiasm has risen a lot in an instant.

Now that she was able to receive praise, she immediately adjusted her original plan.

In the evening, the two deliberately found fault and got into a fight with two other groups of high school students who were also conducting social investigations.

Natasha's so-called 'slightly understood' karate is still reliable, although it is still limited to the level of ordinary people, but the strength is there, the agility is enough, and the perception of fighting skills is even more frightening, Bella helped, and they 'convinced' a few high school students with three punches and two kicks.

After they completed the first day of social survey, there were thirteen more younger brothers around them.

Demonstrations and prosecutions are the three magic weapons of social practice at the present stage.

Natasha volunteered to organize demonstrations, and Bella used the little connections left over from the previous air crash to try to go through the legal process to secure a future for the old steel mill workers.

Even the most stubborn Texans have to admit that New Yorkers are good at litigating lawsuits, and the lawyer for the plane crash came from New York.

Bella called the law firm that was in charge of the current 180 plane crash, and after knowing that she couldn't pay much for the lawyer, the other party still enthusiastically recommended a lawyer for her.

After seeing this man named Jerry. After Hogarth's lawyer, Bella felt a little fooled.

This female lawyer looks too young, with black hair, a skirt, and high heels, and she is meticulously dressed, but judging by her face, she is not a few years older than Bella.

With no personal assistants, and even the title on her business card is a lawyer, not a partner in a law firm, and this female lawyer is clearly a recent graduate of school.

Jerry. Hogarth accepted the commission to sue the steel mill and Stark Industries for the suspension of pensions, but he was a little difficult to find out about the elderly buying wealth management products and losing their money.

"Miss Swan, I understand your original intention, but from a legal point of view, there is a risk in purchasing wealth management products, and there is no suspected illegal content in it."

Bella didn't study law, and the laws are different in each state here, so she doesn't know if it's illegal or not.

"Wouldn't there be fraud involved?" She asked.

Jerry. Hogarth shook her head and chuckled, if someone asked her such a question, she would be casually perfunctory, but seeing Bella's face, she still patiently and carefully told her the difference.

"If the signatory is sane and has not been coerced, has not been concealed or deceived, then the investment agreement signed in this case has a legal basis, the investment is risky, and the old people in your mouth will be taken away by the bank, as an individual, I regret it, but as a lawyer, I do not recommend spending a lot of energy on this."

Bella scratched her head, the female lawyer spoke very clearly, and she was not a person who could not listen to persuasion.

According to her original intention, it is best to block the road for the elderly to buy financial products. But financial management is the mainstream here, and she can't think of anything to refute.

"Well, let's focus on the payment of pensions first. How? ”

Jerry. Hogarth thought for a moment: "Do you know about joint prosecution?" Search for as many victims as possible and take the route of joint prosecution. ”
