I went to Gu's office and sat down for a while, said something about the case, and then went back. Return to the dormitory and wait for the date of the trial.

On the day of the trial, I went to Lawyer Gu and handed him the remaining half of the lawyer's fees, and then we went to court together.

When I arrived at the courtroom, I saw Zhang Xu's daughter, Zhang Lingling, and a young man about her age. That young man should be Zhang Lingling or the lawyer hired by Zhang Xu, right? Zhang Xu did not come.

The door of the courtroom was open, and Zhang Lingling and the young man were already seated in the defendant's seat. It wasn't time and the judge didn't tell us to go in, so I sat in a chair outside the courtroom and waited.

After a while, the judge told us to go in. Lawyer Gu and I sat side by side in the plaintiff's seat.

This trial is different from the last time, because when we divorced, the trial was just me and Zhang Xu, and we didn't hire a lawyer, but this time we hired a lawyer, so we don't have to talk to ourselves.

The judge said to me, "Plaintiff, you said that the house was built by you and the defendant Zhang Xu during the marriage, do you have any evidence?" ”

At this time, lawyer Gu said: "My client has an IOU provided by Zhang Xu when he divorced, and the IOU clearly states that the money was borrowed when he was used to build a house. Moreover, this IOU has been divided with the defendant at the time of my client's divorce. ”

The judge asked again: "You said that you funded the construction, can you show any evidence to prove that you contributed money?" ”

Lawyer Gu glanced at me, meaning to let me say whether there is any. So I said, "There is also the 40,000 yuan stored in my name, which was taken away by Zhang Xu and used to build a house." The rest is the money that Zhang Xu deposited in the name of his second sister. ”

"Do you know how much money he deposited in his second sister's name? Why did he want to save it in the name of his second sister? ”

Because he promised 50,000 yuan in compensation when he divorced his first ex-wife, but he didn't pay it off, he said that he was afraid of his ex-wife-" Before I could finish speaking, the judge said, "Let's put it simply." ”

At this time, lawyer Gu said: "He was afraid that his ex-wife would come to collect debts, so he deposited it in the name of his second sister Zhang Qing." "As soon as I heard it, I had to be a lawyer, and I was able to get to the point at once, and I didn't make it clear for a long time.

At this time, the judge asked Zhang Lingling again: "Defendant Zhang Lingling, you said that you built this house with your funds, what evidence do you have to prove that this house was built by you?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Lingling's lawyer got up and handed the judge a pile of materials, and said: "This is the account record of my client Zhang Lingling when she built the house, as well as the receipt." "He gave two copies, one to the judge, and then another to us.

When I saw this, I was completely stunned, but I didn't expect Zhang Xu and them to have this hand. Lawyer Gu took it and looked at it first, and then asked me to look at it again. I looked at the thick pile of materials, my head was so big, I couldn't read anything, and I couldn't understand what was recorded on it.

Before I could finish reading, Zhang Lingling's lawyer said: "Because Zhang Xu's money is not enough, and Zhang Lingling has the ability to build this house, Zhang Lingling was asked to pay for it." “

After hearing this, the judge asked Zhang Lingling: "What is your job now?" How much money can you make in a year? ”

Hearing this question, Zhang Lingling immediately replied: "I work in exhibitions, and I can earn less than 200,000 yuan a year by investing in shares with my sisters." As soon as she finished speaking, her lawyer reminded her: "You can be more precise, how much is less than 200,000?" 10,000 is less than 200,000, and 190,000 is less than 200,000. ”

"Seventeen or eighty thousand." Zhang Lingling: "I have the ability to build a house." Again, she stressed that she was capable.

"Moreover, this house is not only funded by me, but I have always been building it when I built it, and my father did not handle it." As soon as I heard Zhang Lingling's words, they were all made up. Because when Zhang Xu proposed to divorce me, he said that he would not only build a house at home, but also take care of the old lady. Now it's Zhang Lingling covering.

I wanted to speak out against her, but now that I've got a lawyer, I can't keep talking. I'm afraid I'm wrong about what I've said. Because other lawyers have reminded me that the less you talk in court, the better, and the more you say, the more you are wrong. I thought of this sentence and didn't say it again. After all, Lawyer Gu is here, and if he can say anything, he will say it.

But Lawyer Gu did not speak.

At this time, Zhang Lingling's lawyer spoke again: "This house has always been done by my client alone from the capital contribution to the construction, so it has nothing to do with Zhang Xu and the plaintiff." ”

Until this time, Lawyer Gu still didn't speak, and I was so anxious. But he was fine. I was thinking in my heart, it seems that it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, and the lawyer on the other side is full of vigor and eloquence. My lawyer, on the other hand, was silent, as if he had been so scared that he had nothing to say.

At this time, lawyer Gu said: "Since it is a contract signed between you and the construction team, then I need witnesses." ”

After Zhang Lingling heard Lawyer Gu's words, she said, "That person has already run away and can't find anyone." So I can't get in touch. He didn't finish his work, he just disappeared with the money, and I'm suing him. "This is obviously a lie, saying that she signed a contract, but when she wanted to see someone, the person disappeared. When I think about it, this is all an illusion made in advance. Including her going to court to sue. Maybe this person is Zhang Xu's friend or acquaintance or something. And Zhang Lingling pretended to sue him, and when our case is over, won't she withdraw the lawsuit? It seems that this game is really seamless!

Now I really don't have any choice, and I don't have any idea when I get angry. Because I was originally a very stupid person, and I had never experienced such a thing, seeing the other party's oppressive momentum, and the lawyer I hired looked wilting, what else could I do? The lawyer doesn't speak, so what else do I have to say?

Then the judge asked, "Which of you has anything to say?" ”

I said, "The 40,000 yuan that Zhang Xu took out was used to build a house." When he asked me to take it, I didn't take it, and then, he took my ID card and took it out. "There's no way but to grab on to this straw.

That's when the judge asked, "Do you have a record of withdrawals?" ”

"I didn't. Because I didn't take the money. ”

"Since it is deposited in your name, then you can go to the bank and withdraw a withdrawal record. Also, do you have the original passbook? ”

"I have the original."

"Well, you can bring the originals with you next time you go to court." When he was done, he asked me, "What else do you have to say?" ”

At this time, lawyer Gu said: "I need the other party to provide her account records. ”

The judge asked Zhang Lingling again: "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

Zhang Lingling's lawyer said: "I don't recognize that the 40,000 yuan was taken out by Zhang Xu. "The implication is that I took the money.

After listening to what we both had to say, the judge said, "Can you provide any other evidence today?" ”

At this time, Zhang Lingling said: "Is it okay for me to make a phone call?" My aunt said that she came to testify in court today, and I saw where she was. ”
