Chapter 76: Feeling Despicable
Before the barbecue restaurant closed, Fang Yi settled the bill. Originally, it was Zhou Shen who paid for it, but the barbecue restaurant couldn't pay by swiping the code, and Zhou Shen didn't bring cash and bank cards, so Fang Yi could only pay for it.
Zhou Shen wanted to transfer the money to Fang Yi, but Fang Yi refused.
"It's so late, why don't I open a room for you in the hotel?" Standing outside the barbecue restaurant, the northwest wind was blowing, and Fang Yi buttoned his clothes.
"No, you don't! The driver will arrive in a moment. I'll send you? The two drank for more than three hours, and at this time Zhou Shen's strength was mostly gone.
"No need. It's not far from where I live. It's only a twenty-minute walk back, and I've eaten too much tonight, so I have to take a walk. Fang Yi smiled.
The two were talking, Zhou Shen's car arrived, it was an S-class Mercedes-Benz, and after the driver parked the car, he immediately got out of the car and opened the door, waiting for Zhou Shen to sit in.
Zhou Shen hesitated: "The matter here is basically dealt with, I will go back to the capital next week, if you come to the capital, remember to call me." I owe you two meals. ”
"Okay, I'll have to write it down in my notebook when I go back, so I don't forget." After speaking, Fang Yi laughed.
Zhou Shen also smiled: "Let's go!" With that, he got into the Mercedes.
After the headlights disappeared, Fang Yi wrapped his down jacket tightly and walked towards his residence: it turned out that he was not the only one in this world, and the guy with a bright surface was not much better than himself. Thinking about it like this, his heart was a lot more relaxed.
At this time, he suddenly realized that what he was pursuing was never happiness, but being happier than others, and as long as he was happier than others, he would feel comfortable.
He felt that he was despicable, and that he had built his happiness on the misfortune of others! No, happiness based on comparison is not true happiness! It's just schadenfreude. This may be the reason why people are tired.
The next Saturday, I got up early in the morning, and after breakfast, Fang Yi called his uncle-in-law Zhou Jianjun, telling him that he had found Zhou Yang, and told him what he thought. Fang Yi's words are very clear, if his uncle-in-law Zhou Jianjun feels sorry for his son, he can come over and take Zhou Yang back to the village now.
Zhou Jianjun was silent for a moment and agreed to Fang Yi's handling method. He also wants to teach his son a lesson, hoping that he will be down-to-earth in the future.
Before, he couldn't accept that his excellent son became mediocre, but after being unemployed at home for more than a year, Zhou Jianjun slowly accepted the reality, he has no background, no relationship, he is a mediocre person, why should he ask his son to become mediocre, he accepted his fate!
Fang Yi didn't dare to call Aunt Xia, because he was afraid that Aunt Xia's love would be overflowing, and he couldn't see his son suffering, so he immediately ran to pick up Zhou Yang. Anyway, my uncle-in-law is a man, I can understand his hard work, and I can control my emotions, as for whether my uncle-in-law will tell Aunt Xia, it's not something he can manage.
After nearly a month of waiting, Zhou Hai's house sale contract dispute case (murder house case) has finally been heard.
On the day of the trial, Zhou Hai did not appear in court, and only Fang Yi sat in the plaintiff's seat. The female clerk glanced at Fang Yi after entering the door and asked him to receive the verdict of the property dispute case after Li Yue'e and Zhou Hai's divorce.
It was only at this time that Fang Yi recognized that the female clerk was the clerk in the previous case of Li Yue'e v. Zhou Hai for a property dispute after the divorce.
Because the court session was notified by phone and there was no summons, Fang Yi tentatively asked whether the judge who heard the case was the judge who heard the property dispute case after the divorce before, and the clerk confirmed Fang Yi's guess.
Sitting in the dock was not the defendant himself, but a young male lawyer, who looked shrewd, a lawyer at a small law firm in the county.
After a while, a female judge with curly hair walked in, it was the same female judge Fang Yi had seen before, and the bags under her eyes were still so obvious. The female judge opened the case file and looked at it for a while before striking the gavel.
"Plaintiff, clearly state the claims, facts and reasons." The female judge said as she looked at the case file.
"Litigation claims: 1. The plaintiff requests to revoke the "Stock Housing Sales Contract" signed between the original defendants; 2. The litigation costs of this case shall be borne by the defendant.
Facts and Reasons: In October 2012, the plaintiff and the defendant entered into a transaction for house 601, unit 3, building 5, Huayuan Community, and signed the "Stock Housing Sales Contract", after which the two parties performed the delivery of the house in accordance with the contract, and the plaintiff paid the full purchase price.
After taking possession of the house, the plaintiff accidentally learned that there had been a homicide in the house where the transaction had been made, and that all five members of the family had died in the suite, which was the murder house.
Prior to the transaction, the defendant did not truthfully inform the defendant that there had been a homicide in the property, and the defendant has not taken the initiative to inform the relevant situation until today.
The plaintiff believed that the defendant deliberately concealed the fact of the murderous house and sold the property to the plaintiff, which constituted fraud, so it requested the court to revoke the "Stock Housing Sales Contract" signed by the two parties to protect the plaintiff's rights and interests.
Complete! Fang Yi said.
"The defendant pleaded." The female judge said.
"The defendant did not agree with the plaintiff's claim, first of all, the "Stock Housing Sales Contract" was signed voluntarily by both parties, and there was no fraud.
Secondly, the real estate agent had introduced the property before the signing, and the defendant had also introduced the relevant information of the property to the plaintiff, and there was no homicide in the house as claimed by the plaintiff, and there was no wrongful death, and the defendant did not commit fraud.
Finally, the theory of "murderous house" is purely feudal superstition and should not be supported by the courts. Both parties have fulfilled their relevant obligations in accordance with the contract, and in order to maintain the stability of the transaction, they request the court to dismiss the plaintiff's claim.
The defense is complete! The defendant's lawyer said.
"Plaintiff, give evidence." The female judge said.
"The first piece of evidence, the "Stock Housing Sales Contract" signed by the two parties, the real estate certificate and the tax stamp, prove the fact that the two parties traded the property.
The second piece of evidence, a report in a local newspaper about a homicide in Building 5 of the Garden Community, proved that a homicide had taken place in the property.
Since this case is a criminal case and is being investigated by the public security organs, we are unable to obtain relevant evidence, and have applied to the court to collect relevant evidence.
The presentation of evidence is complete. Fang Yi said.
"The defendant cross-examined." The female judge said.
"The first piece of evidence was admitted by the defendant. The purpose of the second piece of evidence is not recognized, and the report only says that a homicide occurred in Building 5 of the Garden Community, and does not specify that it was a homicide that occurred in Room 601, so we do not accept it. The defendant's lawyer said.
Fang Yi had long expected that the defendant's lawyer would not admit the second piece of evidence, and now it was up to the court to obtain the evidence according to the application.
"Does the defendant have any evidence to submit?" The female judge did not see the evidence submitted by the defendant and asked.
