Chapter XV: Minutes of Court Proceedings
After countless sleepless nights, Su Xia had several versions of the ending in his mind: old and dead do not get along with each other because of hatred; Never forget, because of love; Turn around and be friends because let go of ...... And in many versions, the lawsuit divorce turned into an angry and tense enemy that Su Xia didn't want to see, but now that she came, Su Xia quickly adjusted to a state where you dare to sue the old lady and must accompany her to the end.
"When are you going to go to court?" Sister Su Yu called.
"Next Thursday."
"How's the preparation going?"
"Well, the reply is written, the evidence is ready-made, and screenshots of other women's flirtatious information, opening records, and transfer records are all prepared."
"Well, are you sure that Xibao will be yours?"
"Sure, he won't ask for it, the lawsuit in the complaint has already stated that it will be raised by me, that is, I have to fight for child support, and the complaint is written for 2,000."
"Two thousand?! It's too shameless! What can two thousand do!? He casually buys a dress and a pair of shoes, opens a bottle of wine at the bar, and gives a red envelope to the young lady for a few thousand, and raising a son is not worth the money he throws casually! Xibao eats and wears, various specialty classes, extracurricular classes, and regenerates illness, which is not money! What does he care! Your little salary can make you live! "Su Yu is a temper tantrum, he is angry when he hears two thousand! Because during the period when Chen Xuan was away from home, Su Xia found that there were various drinks in the bar and in the mobile phone messages, red envelopes for other women, and even renting an extended BMW for an average of 1,000 yuan a day...... These Su Xia and Su Yu briefly mentioned that Su Yu was more or less informed.
"So you hurry up, why are you still staying like this! The first time I told you I couldn't bear it! I can't bear it! There is only one and countless times of cheating! A man will never regret that he cheated, but regret letting you find out! You've forgiven so easily! Are you so stupid when you say you? Leave, hurry up! I'm angry......" Su Yu accused and preached, which can also be said to be venting, venting his curse against Chen Xuan and venting his anger towards Su Xia.
"Stop, stop, stop......" Su Xia scolded, otherwise Su Yu became more and more angry the more he talked. Thinking about his good before, no one wants to be like this, and now the marriage is definitely divorced, so I only do my best to fight the lawsuit. "Yes, Chen Xuan was the son-in-law and brother-in-law that the whole family liked, tall and mighty, funny and humorous, and he was in love with Su Xia. At this point, the fate of the family is over.
"Are you sure you don't need a lawyer? Chen Xuan must be looking for a lawyer. Su Yu calmed down.
"Sister, I also have a four-year law undergraduate in college, so I should be able to deal with this problem."
Su Xia did not hire a lawyer, although she had too many classmates and alumni engaged in legal work, but because of the concern that the family scandal should not be publicized, she was still reluctant to tell her classmates about these things, and of course she could not get their help. The second is that she admits that she has studied law in college and graduate school for more than six years, and she has "strong evidence" in her hands that Chen Xuan betrayed the family, Xibao has been raised by her almost single-handedly since she was a child, and Su Xia is confident that she belongs to the winning side, not to mention that she thinks she does not have any demands beyond the reasonable range.
As a law major, or legal history graduate to be exact, Su Xia has not personally experienced litigation cases, and although he has audited some cases, his perception of the court is purely theoretical and idealistic. The perception of the court is lofty, solemn and solemn.
Thursday, July 12, the day of the first court session.
Su Xia sent Xibao to the kindergarten early in the morning, then cleaned up neatly, counted the reply, various evidences, ID cards and other materials again, and once again confirmed that she had browsed the outline and main points of the listed questions, so that she knew it well and answered it fluently.
At 9:40 a.m., Su Xia carried a document bag full of documents on one shoulder and took a taxi to the courthouse alone. Pass through security and queue up to go upstairs. The internal building of the court is already a little old, looking at the mottled walls and the slightly cramped elevator, Su Xia suddenly became a lot more cordial, this is similar to our unit, except for the bustling flow of people. In the crowd, they were restless, frowning, or hurried...... "one-headed lawsuit" seemed to be really written on the door of their heads.
Su Xia sat on the bench outside the door of the fifty-third court of the civil court ten minutes early.
Chen Xuan arrived two minutes late and walked in the direction of Su Xia, this was the first meeting in several months.
I saw Chen Xuan wearing a pink polo shirt that Su Xia had never seen before, a pair of athleisure trousers on the bottom, the slender waist of the pants divided the still huge belly into upper and lower parts, and a pair of blue and white Internet celebrity sneakers on his feet, which looked young, but it was really a little "nondescript", contrary to the solemn combination of shirts, trousers, and leather shoes 365 days a year. Next to him was a middle-aged man in a white shirt and carrying a briefcase, who seemed to have hired a professional lawyer with "blood money".
"Here we are." Chen Xuan made an exception and took the initiative to say hello.
"Hmm." Su Xia replied coldly.
No more to say. Su Xia sat at one end of the chair and swiped her mobile phone and looked out the window. At the other end of the chair sat Chen Xuan and the lawyer who was flipping through the documents, and the two whispered from time to time, exchanging ears.
"Chen Xuan, Su Xia, are you here?"
"It's coming, it's coming." The lawyer replied eagerly.
"Come in."
Because the application for expedited trial process is a kind of expedited trial procedure that is applied to solve the contradiction between the "explosion of litigation" and the lack of trial resources, and to better realize the goals of quick trial of simple cases, separation of complicated and simple cases, and separation of fast and slow lanes, the procedure is relatively simple.
In a courtroom of less than 60 square meters, I saw a male assistant judge about 30 sitting in the middle of the stage, looking down at the materials, and sitting on the right hand side a female clerk about 40 years old with long curly hair, sitting at the desk.
"Is it the two of you?" The assistant judge asked.
"Yes."
"Bring your ID card for verification first."
After the inspection, Su Xia sat down in the defendant's bench on the side of the stage, and Chen Xuan and the lawyer sat in the plaintiff's bench opposite.
"According to the procedure, we should have mediation, do we need mediation?"
Before the assistant judge's words fell, Chen Xuan's lawyer immediately replied: "The original defendant and the defendant have negotiated and mediated before, but due to the large differences, they cannot reach an agreement, so there is no need for mediation. ”
In this way, without going through pre-trial mediation, I went directly to the trial process.
The associate judge began a brief examination of the facts in response to the indictment and pleadings.
"The two have separated, haven't they?"
"Yes, they have been separated for two years, and their relationship has broken down since 2016." Lawyer Chen Xuan deliberately extended the separation time in order to get a quick divorce, Su Xia did not immediately raise an objection, she also wanted to end the marriage as soon as possible, and the goal was the same in this regard.
"The joint child Chen Hanyu has been raised and cared for by the defendant, right?"
"Yes, I have always taken care of it, and I raised it since I was a child."
……
No one in the family understands the affairs of the family more clearly than Su Xia, including Xibao's various stages of support, every detail when replacing the house, and every source of funds...... But Chen Xuan and the lawyer looked at each other a little, and they couldn't even tell the exact price of the house and the monthly amount of the mortgage, yes, where did Chen Xuan worry about these things at home, and there was no detailed communication with the lawyer in advance, so Su Xia was relatively easy to deal with in the first trial. But it is obvious that the lawyer deliberately told Chen Xuan some important basic matters, such as not talking too much, being restrained in front of the judge, and behaving politely, so Chen Xuan in the court sentenced the two of them.
"Okay, that's it for today, there is another case at 11:00 later, and we will notify you separately at the next court time."
After both parties signed and confirmed the trial record, the first trial ended.
