Chapter 28: Wanwan has a gratuity
It's a coincidence.
Xia Zhihuai pushed open the door and looked back at Zhong Jiannian, his face was still not very good, his lower eyelids were a little blue, and his spirit looked a little sluggish.
"You're here just in time, and I have something to ask you."
Zhong Jianian and the assistant carried things into the house, Xia Zhihuai turned around and said, "Come in, you don't need to change your shoes." ”
Wanwan had already run into the house and into the kitchen, Xia Zhihuai didn't know what she wanted to do, so she followed in.
"What do you want to do?"
Wanwan looked up at the refrigerator door, and couldn't reach it: "I want to bring water to Brother Nian to drink." ”
"Yo, you're pretty smart." Xia Zhihuai took out three bottles of mineral water from the refrigerator and stuffed one bottle into Wanwan's arms, "Go, give it to your brother Nian." ”
Wanwan ran back to the living room with mineral water, put the water on the table, and pushed it in front of Zhong Jiannian: "Brother Nian drinks water." ”
Zhong Jianian put one hand on the carpet and touched the wool roll on the top of Wanwan's head: "Thank you, Wanwan." ”
Wanwan looked at his injured arm and tried to help twist the cap, but her hand slipped and didn't unscrew it.
Xia Zhihuai handed another bottle of water to Zhong Jianian's assistant, sat on the single sofa, and looked at the various toys and food on the carpet: "Actually, there is no need to send these. ”
Zhong Jianian shook his hand and teased: "I didn't give it to you, I gave it to Wanwan." ”
Wanwan hugged the milk crate on the ground and squinted her eyes happily: "That's it, it's not for my brother, Wanwan likes it." ”
Zhong Jianian raised his eyebrows: "Look? ”
Xia Zhihuai stretched his thighs and kicked Wanwan who was sitting on the carpet: "You collected it very quickly, did you say thank you?" ”
Wanwan immediately said loudly: "Thank you, Brother Nian." ”
Zhong Jianian smiled gently: "No thanks, I also want to thank us for our kindness, this is for you." ”
Zhong Jianian pushed a bank card in front of Xia Zhihuai: "It's also the first time I've encountered a metaphysical incident, and yesterday I asked someone to inquire about the remuneration in the industry, which is 200,000 yuan, to thank Wanwan for saving his life before." ”
Xia Zhihuai's face was serious, he looked down at the card on the table, and did not accept it instead of Wanwan.
"Wanwan is still very young, and I don't know much about these things, but I think these gifts are enough, Wanwan is very happy, there is no need to send any more money."
Wanwan looked at the bank card on the table, and she didn't seem to understand, but she said that she was very happy that she understood.
She nodded vigorously and said seriously: "Wanwan is very happy, Brother Nian gave Wanwan so many delicious and fun things." ”
Zhong Jianian pushed the bank card in front of Xia Zhihuai again: "You can't refuse instead of Wanwan, although she is very small now, her ability is not small, and there is no reason to help me so much, I still accept it calmly, which makes my conscience uneasy." If I go to other Taoist priests to exorcise evil spirits, I may be deceived, and even this price is not enough at all. ”
"200,000 is actually not much, at least I think my life is far more than that."
Wanwan watched the two of them push around, got up and took the bank card away, looked at the two and asked, "Brother, what does this card do?" ”
"There's money in it."
Wanwan's eyes lit up suddenly: "Really? Is this also for Wanwan? ”
"Is there enough money in it to buy fried chicken and fries?"
Zhong Jianian couldn't help but smile, nodded and said, "Of course, you can buy a lot of it, and you can eat it for a long time." ”
Wanwan scratched her ears and hesitated: "Why do you give Wanwan so much money?" ”
Zhong Jiannian: "In order to thank Wanwan for helping my brother send away bad things." ”
Wanwan stared at his eyes for a while, and handed the bank card to Xia Zhihuai: "Brother, Wanwan wants to accept it." ”
Xia Zhihuai frowned: "Wanwan, you can't just accept other people's money, my brother also has it, I can support you." ”
Wanwan looked at Xia Zhihuai's face and pondered for a long time.
The elder brother's Guanlu Palace was in trouble, which symbolized that the passing year was unfavorable and there was a sign of ruined wealth.
If she doesn't save a little money, she may not even be able to drink milk with her brother in the future, what can she do?
"Collect." Wanwan insisted, with a small round face, and her eyes fell on the tip of Xia Zhihuai's nose.
Her little brain turned, and she suddenly remembered what her master had said.
If the rescued person pays the reward, he can receive it, but he must donate half of it, which can be exchanged for merit and protection.
Si Ming also said that Wanwan can accumulate merit by doing good deeds in the lower realm.
The more merit you accumulate, the higher your cultivation will be, and you may even become a god one day.
However, it has been a long time since an immortal has become a god in the heavenly realm.
……
"Brother, you have to donate half of it to save merit for Wanwan."
Wanwan stared at Xia Zhihuai seriously.
Xia Zhihuai looked at her for two seconds, and then looked at Zhong Jiannian.
"Take it." Zhong Jianian said calmly, "This money belongs to Wanwan, she is not an ordinary child, she should know how to dispose of it." ”
Xia Zhihuai just wanted to roll his eyes after hearing this, Zhong Jianian really looked up to Wanwan, this little radish essence.
She didn't know how to dispose of 200,000 at all.
"Okay, I'll open an account for her and save it for her."
Wanwan dug out of her pocket, and finally took out the jade slip, and leaned the jade slip in front of her head.
After waiting for a few seconds, she put the jade slip down and said seriously: "Half of the money should be donated to do good deeds." ”
Xia Zhihuai and Zhong Jianian were slightly stunned and looked at Wanwan: "Are you sure?" ”
Wanwan nodded very seriously: "The master said, in this way, Wanwan can accumulate merit and become stronger." ”
Xia Zhihuai looked up and down at the little short legs at home, and stared at the jade slip in her hand: "Did the jade slip tell you?" ”
"Uh-huh~"
"Okay, then help you donate half of it, and save the rest for you."
Xia Zhihuai didn't hesitate for long, 200,000 yuan is indeed not a huge amount of money for them.
Wanwan still wanted to donate half of it, and in the end it was only 100,000 yuan.
Think about the hard work she worked to catch ghosts and exorcise ghosts yesterday, which is also her hard-earned money.
Save it.
Wanwan scratched the back of her head, and suddenly said: "Don't use my brother's account, my brother will be bankrupt in the first half of the year." ”
Xia Zhihuai's face distorted, and he poked her head: "Little thing, do you have a conscience?" ”
"Yes." Wanwan dodged his fingers and took two steps back, "But brother, you are unlucky this year, and Wanwan's money will run away if you put it there." ”
"Okay, when you take back the custody from your uncle and aunt and get your household registration book, I will take you to the bank to open an account and save your hard-earned money, so that the head office will be fine, right?"
Xia Zhihuai is very open-minded, but he doesn't care that Wanwan dislikes his fortune this year.
It is indeed a very unstable factor for him to be followed by unlucky ghosts, and the work has not been smooth in the past few months, and there are now contradictions with the signing company, according to the urine nature of the company's boss Gong Tingyan, maybe something will happen, and the contract may be terminated at that time, and it is estimated that she will be prepared to pay high liquidated damages, and it is better for her to keep the money herself.
……
Zhong Jianian took a sip of water and asked, "I just heard you say that Wanwan's custody, are you ready to fight for custody with her uncle through legal means?" ”
Xia Zhihuai sneered: "Otherwise, what can I do?" ”
"You don't know those people in the Qi family, they are all angry when they talk about it." Xia Zhihuai said a few words, and the anger came up again, "They even did the funeral of Wanwan's parents casually, and the relatives and friends who should have been notified basically didn't notice much, and lived directly in the house left by Wanwan's parents, and drove Wanwan to the utility room to sleep......"
"There is not even a bed in the utility room, only torn cotton wool and quilts, you haven't seen the information of the investigation...... I was so angry that I wanted to rush to the door and teach them a lesson. ”
"Their own children are in pain, and throwing such a fatherless and motherless child as grass is still covered in injuries, this kind of person is simply a beast."
Zhong Jianian's face was not very good when he heard this, this relative is also Tai Chi, and Wanwan is only three and a half years old now!
"I want to reconcile privately, no way, don't let them lose their skin, I can't bear this breath."
Zhong Jianian looked at Xia Zhihuai, who was angry, and then looked at Wanwan, who was already unpacking the box and preparing to play with the building blocks, and couldn't believe that such a cute child had suffered such abuse before.
"Xu Wei said, it was you who introduced the lawyer to him, and I was looking for you to ask about the situation."
Xia Zhihuai crossed his fingers on his knees and asked very sincerely, "Is the lawyer Li you introduced a professor at S University of Municipal Law?" ”
"Hmm." Zhong Jianian bowed his head slightly and patiently introduced the relevant situation.
……
That lawyer Li's name is Li Lu.
He is a professor at the Law School of S Municipal Law University, now in his forties, and is affiliated with S Wenjing Law Firm.
Because of his reputation and high winning rate, many people want to hire him to help with the lawsuit.
However, Professor Li's current focus is on the University of Political Science and Law, so he rarely takes on cases anymore.
Zhong Jiannian's aunt divorced before, and in order to fight for child custody with her ex-husband, she finally found a relationship and met Professor Li.
The custody of the child was given to the ex-husband in the first trial, and the possibility of winning the second trial was very small, and his aunt was so uncomfortable that she couldn't eat and rest properly for a month.
Because his ex-husband is not good to his children, his family is patriarchal.
His aunt was worried that her daughter would suffer in that family, so she had to take back custody of the child no matter what.
This incident made the family very worried at the time.
Finally, by chance, I heard about Professor Li's reputation, so I begged the other party and pinned the last shred of hope on Professor Li.
Professor Li looked at the child's mother, and acquaintances also helped to intercede, so he took the case.
In the end, the situation was reversed in the second instance.
The custody of the child was awarded to his aunt, and Professor Li also helped the mother and daughter obtain a large amount of child support.
His aunt hugged her daughter and cried on the spot, and the family was grateful to the professor.
……
Xia Zhihuai listened very carefully, hoping to get some useful news from it.
Zhong Jianian also said very carefully, because he took the time to observe the first and second trials at that time, so he could clearly feel that Lawyer Li was really, very powerful.
In cases of child abuse, if the circumstances are not serious, the most they can do is to be deprived of guardianship.
But it is difficult to sentence an accused for child abuse.
Because there are four types of child abuse: physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual/abuse, and negligence.
Child abuse is punishable by up to two years' imprisonment, criminal detention or public surveillance.
If the victim is seriously injured or killed, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than two years but not more than seven years.
……
At present, Xia Zhihuai only has evidence of physical abuse in his hands, and after he found it, he took photos in the hospital for record.
But they have no direct evidence in their hands to prove that the injuries on the child's body were abused and beaten by the Qi family, because Wanwan's words cannot be used as evidence.
There are many points that opposing counsel can defend themselves.
Xia Zhihuai alone thought of several kinds.
The opposing lawyer can fully claim that the injuries on Wanwan's body were caused by the bad guys she met when she ran away from home.
So that they can be plucked clean.
As for Wanwan's living environment in the Qi family, there is also the legacy left by Wanwan's parents...... There's a lot to be done about it.
At that time, he may not be able to regain Wanwan's custody, and he will even be sued by the other party.
……
Thinking of this, Xia Zhihuai frowned.
After listening to his concerns, Zhong Jianian also felt that his considerations were right.
In fact, the probability of winning this lawsuit is not high, because they have too little direct evidence.
Therefore, it is necessary to hire a very professional and reliable lawyer to formally sue the Qi family in court.
Chung's goal is not only to regain custody.
At the same time, he also wants to ask for all the inheritance left by Wanwan's parents.
forced the Qi family to spit out all the embezzled property, and then sent them to prison to eat.
But Xia Zhihuai knew that the maximum sentence would be less than two years in prison.
Because Wanwan was not seriously injured, the crime of child abuse was not enough to imprison those members of the Qi family for too long.
