Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

The next morning, Gu Jin drove to pick up Gu Qian. Because they lived in the countryside of the county town and the law firm was in the city, they needed to drive there early.

After driving for three hours, we finally arrived.

"Lawyer Zhang, let me introduce you. This is my cousin Gu Qian. She's only 16 years old. You can call her Qianqian like me. Qianqian, this is Lawyer Zhang. We're from the same school. She's just a few years older than me, so I call her senior brother."

"Hello, Qianqian." Lawyer Zhang said with a friendly smile.

"Hello, Lawyer Zhang."

"Alright, alright, stop exchanging pleasantries. Let's get down to business. Brother, you have to help me out. I owe you a favor."

"Okay, okay, Qianqian, tell me the details." Lawyer Zhang said helplessly.

Gu Qian told Lawyer Zhang how Gu Dazhi and Wang Fang abandoned their daughter, ignored her concerns, and never gave any child support.

Lawyer Zhang was also told that Gu Dazhi not only failed to raise Gu Qian over the years, he even failed to support his own biological parents and had never come back to see them.

At the same time, he took out some evidence that he had sorted out yesterday and handed it to Lawyer Zhang, saying, "Lawyer Zhang, my cousins, uncles, and other relatives and neighbors can prove that I was abandoned. They have never come back to see me. Moreover, my biological father not only doesn't care about me, but also doesn't care about my grandparents."

"If they had sent the money back, grandpa wouldn't have fallen down and died over a few dollars' worth of garbage, and grandma wouldn't have been so choked up after seeing grandpa die." Gu Qian said with red eyes and choked with sobs.

Lawyer Zhang felt a little bit reluctant to see Gu Qian like this, but people in their line of work have encountered more shameless and infuriating people, so he still maintained his professional ethics.

"Qianqian, I'm telling you the truth. There's no doubt that they abandoned the child. So I need to know what you want. Do you just want them to pay child support or do you have other ideas?"

"Lawyer Zhang, I only ask my biological mother Wang Fang to give me the child support that she should pay. I have no other requests."

Gu Qian paused and continued, "But my biological father, Gu Dazhi, not only didn't raise me, he also ignored my grandparents. What I can't stand the most is that he doesn't care about his grandparents who gave birth to him and raised him. So I want him to go to jail, is that okay?"

Gu Qian knew that the possibility of going to jail was slim, but she wanted to let the lawyer know that her resentment towards Gu Dazhi's family was even deeper.

"Qianqian, I'm telling you the truth. Even if you go to court, the chances of you being sentenced to jail are not very high. It's basically mediation, and you can definitely get child support."

Seeing Gu Qian's lost look, Lawyer Zhang added: "Since your father not only abandoned you, but also abandoned his own parents, I think you can get more compensation from your father."

"Lawyer Zhang, I have another question for you. My grandparents have a self-built house in their hometown. A few years ago, they told me that they had made a will and that after they passed away, the house would be given to me." As he spoke, he took out the notarized will of his grandparents from his bag and showed it to Lawyer Zhang.

"Lawyer Zhang, can you help me see if this is effective? If I make a will, can my father still take it away? I'm afraid he wants to take the house away."

Lawyer Zhang picked up the will and began to read it.

"It's effective and profitable. Your grandparents should have consulted about it. You should transfer the ownership of the house as soon as possible. As long as the ownership of the house and the right to use the land are yours, your father can't take it away. Of course, you need to go to the relevant department to ask for specific information."

Gu Qian breathed a sigh of relief. If that was the case, it would be even simpler. She only needed to ask Gu Dazhi to pay more child support, and there was no need to bring the house into the picture. By the time Gu Dazhi remembered the house, it had already been transferred to her name.

I think the original owner probably didn't even remember the will she had made a long time ago, let alone use it. Her situation at the time didn't allow her to think about these things, and even protecting herself was a problem.

Gu Dazhi's family had no idea about the will. Except for Gu Qian himself, no one knew about the existence of the will, so it was easier for Gu Dazhi to get the house.

"Okay, thank you, Lawyer Zhang. It would be best if Gu Dazhi can go to jail. If not, then we should ask him to pay more child support."

"Okay, I will file a complaint with the court, and I will take photos of the evidence and keep them. Then I will need witnesses during the trial, so I will need your relatives and neighbors to help testify in court."

"Don't worry about that. My dad and I will help to testify. Let Qianqian call Grandma Lin too." Gu Jin interrupted immediately after hearing this.

"Yes, my cousin and our neighbor Grandma Lin can all testify. Is that enough?" Gu Qian asked Lawyer Zhang.

"That's enough. Qianqian, I can't guarantee that I will go to jail, but I can definitely get you the most child support."

This was the beginning of the 21st century, especially in small towns, where many children were abandoned, but few could take legal action to protect themselves. So once there was a case, it would be used as a typical example, and the rights and interests that could be obtained would be very good.

Through such publicity, more victims can be encouraged to take legal action to protect themselves, and it can also play a role in promoting the law so that people dare not abandon their children at will.

"I see. Thank you, Lawyer Zhang. How is the attorney's fee calculated?"

"Qianqian, don't worry about this. I, your cousin, am still here! Just wait until the time comes to get the child support you deserve."

"No. My grandparents left me money, and there will be child support. Even if I can't pay it now, I should be able to pay it after it's over. How can I ask my cousin to pay for me?" Gu Qian definitely couldn't let Gu Jin pay. He already owed many favors and couldn't owe him any more.

"Be obedient. If I ask you to pay, my dad will beat me to death when I get home." Gu Jin said without question.

"Okay, you guys, this isn't a difficult thing to do. A case with an almost 100% success rate also increases my chances of winning. You're my junior, and Qianqian is in a difficult situation right now. You don't need to give me much, just treat me to a meal."

Lawyer Zhang continued, "But if you sue in court, you will need to pay some litigation fees and announcement fees, which won't be much."

"I will help Qianqian to bear those expenses, but you are my senior brother and I cannot take advantage of you. You still have to give you what you deserve, and it is necessary to treat you to a meal." Gu Jin said.

"Okay, I won't care about this anymore! Just listen to me, and when this is over, let's go out for a meal to celebrate."

After hearing what Lawyer Zhang said, Gu Jin didn't know what to say.

Gu Qian didn't want to argue about this little money anymore. She would just spend more time with her cousin's family and pay it back slowly.

"Then I'll treat you to a meal, and invite my uncle and Grandma Lin to join us. I'm still able to treat you to a meal, but you're not allowed to snatch it from me again, cousin." Gu Qian said immediately.

"Okay, okay, you treat me." Just pay in advance. My cousin treats me and I pay for it, that's fine. How can I really let an underage girl treat a group of adults?

Next, Lawyer Zhang sorted out the complaint and various evidence materials, and went to the court with Gu Qian to submit the complaint and evidence.

After doing all this, Gu Jin sent Gu Qian back home. All he had to do next was wait for notification.
