no longer ordinary friends

Zhou Zhicheng shook his head slightly: "The original 20 was invested in the house, but now the price of the house has increased, so it's not just 20."

Chen Zhi was furious and didn't want to listen any more: "Chengcheng, you are a woman, you have to forgive others, no matter how tough your character is, you will not be able to get married!"

"Uncle Chen, if you don't want to have a good talk, then I suggest you also find a lawyer and communicate peacefully." Zhou Zhicheng was not provoked, and even found it funny. He really didn't understand why these people still couldn't get married. Threatening women, for some girls, getting married is the beginning of her disaster. Lin Tao pretended to be blind and couldn't see how much Lin Tao had suffered in marrying Fade Chen.

Chen Zhicai didn't want to spend money to hire a lawyer, so he snorted coldly: "Your lawyers know each other well, so you can eat at both ends, right? It's useless if I look for it, and the house will still be gone when I go down, and I have to pay tens of thousands of lawyers' fees. Are you stupid? Your lawyers are acting."

Ye Bai and Lu He's faces darkened when they heard this, and they frowned. They wanted to talk, but Jiang Xianghuai stopped them.

"Now the TV is filming us, right? Well, let everyone see how shameless your lawyers are!" Chen Zhi filmed the material on the table.

Jiang Xianghuai smiled and said, "Mr. Chen."

Chen Zhi was rarely called that by people, it was weird.

"If I were to do this case, there would be another solution."

"What's the solution? Don't you have to pay back 20?"

"Yeah." Jiang Xianghuai smiled lightly, and before Chen Zhi was happy, he continued, "Because it was a private negotiation, Lawyer Zhou has already made concessions because of the friendship between everyone, but I am not from Nanri County. "

He took the materials prepared by Zhou Zhicheng, pointed to the guidance of the people's court and said: "The division of property in illegal cohabitation relationship shall be handled according to the common property, that is, divided according to the proportion of their respective contributions. , and now the proportion of the house is also divided, which is the way lawyer Zhou handles it now."

Everyone looked at Jiang Xianghuai.

Chen Zhi: "That's not to be greedy for my house! It's not like you don't know how expensive the house is now!"

"That's what Lin Tao of my family deserves. She paid for the house at the time!" Cai Lan said.

Jiang Xianghuai turned another page, and Zhou Zhicheng sorted out the property situation of Chen Fei and Lin Tao living together after the banquet. He said: "If I do it, I will advocate this house." It is their joint ownership, that is, the house must be divided into one and half, because now there is enough evidence to prove that the properties of Lin Tao and Fade Chen are mixed. Fade Chen also admitted that the two are husband and wife at the beginning, and the money he earned outside I gave it to Lin Tao. Lin Tao took the handicrafts back from the shoe factory in the county and made them. The money was put into that bank card. There was no distinction between their property. Even after Fade Chen bought the house, he would give it to Lin Tao from time to time. Tao pays living expenses to support the elderly."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't talk to me about the way you live in the city, I don't understand!" Chen Zhi started to jump angrily after hearing this, "What kind of black-hearted lawyer are you? Returning the house is half of the house. What? She paid 20 yuan, less than one-fifth!"

Even Fang Tingting was in a hurry: "How is this possible? Chen Fei, you are dead, hurry up and say something!"

Fade Chen was still silent. He was sitting between the two women. He was already a husband and was about to become a father, but he always wanted to be a son and hid behind his father.

Zhou Zhicheng understands that Jiang Xianghuai's intentions are a common negotiating strategy technique. The battlefield of litigation lawyers is not only in court. In fact, many trivial disputes in the lives of most ordinary people, without the seriousness of the court, can Negotiations can actually lead to good results.

"There is also the dowry money. If you want to fight for it back, I suggest you go to a lawyer to sue, but the chances of the judge supporting your request are relatively small. Judges need to consider public order and good customs in the trial of dowry. The judges in Nanri County know that our local It's a custom, the recognition of having a banquet is more useful than obtaining a certificate, does everyone think that Lin Tao is Chen Fei's wife? And they think that the time for 'marriage' is nine years, not nine months."

None of them knew how the judge would judge, but now Zhou Zhicheng had to say so.

"So, our request here is also after concessions. We will not refund the gift money, and we will not ask for half of the house purchased during the two people's cohabitation. As long as Lin Tao contributes the share, she will pay 20. It is determined that she occupies 19.4% of the property rights, and the property rights of the house belong to Fade Chen. According to the current market price of the house, you should compensate Lin Tao with a discount of 303644 yuan."

Jiang Xianghuai made up his mind to play the role of a "scumbag" lawyer, with an appearance of no bottom line. One of them sang good faces and the other sang bad faces, which made Chen Zhi and Fang Tingting hesitate a little. If they don't succumb to the current interests, will they About to pay more than 70 yuan?

Chen Zhi thought of hardware again with an ugly face: "At that time, we gave Lin Tao a lot of gold jewelry for the purpose of getting married. In the past few years, my wife also bought gold bracelets for Lin Tao. Give them back to us."

Lin Tao's eyes were empty, tears were streaming down her eyes, her eye circles were red, she clenched her teeth tightly, she was bloodless, she walked over suddenly, and slapped Fade Chen, obviously she had never slapped anyone before, even this slap Fang Tingting reacted quickly, protected her husband, and pushed Lin Tao directly.

Lin Tao fell to the ground in embarrassment, but everyone ran up to protect Fang Tingting, because she was pregnant with the Chen family's child.

Lin Tao's voice was hoarse and desperate: "Fade Chen, I really misjudged you. I forgive you for cheating and breaking up, but do you really want to embarrass us like this? Can our nine years not be worth these things?"

Zhou Zhicheng's chest heaved and he went to help Lin Tao up. She said, "This kind of hardware gift is generally regarded as a gift in law, and it does not support recovery."

Even if she gets angry again, she still has a gentle voice: "Uncle Chen, we are all neighbors in the neighborhood, and you also watched us grow up. You know what kind of girl Lin Tao is. Do you really want to meet in court? Is it because she doesn't want to get the certificate? No, if possible, she is willing to go with Chen Fei to get the certificate now. You also know that this is a small town with a lot of gossip. Her nine years are very long. From 20 to 29 years old, she Take care of you and Auntie diligently, who doesn't praise her in the neighborhood? You also have a daughter, have you ever thought about how much criticism Lin Tao will suffer after going through this incident?"

Chen Zhi looked hesitant.

"As for bigamy, if Lin Tao doesn't leave your home now and continues to live with Fade Chen in the name of husband and wife in the township, then Fade Chen has committed bigamy and will be sentenced in all likelihood."

Chen Zhi was a little flustered: "But Lin Tao hasn't given birth for nine years. In our county, many people hold the banquet first, and then apply for a marriage certificate when they become pregnant and have children. Everyone is like this."

Zhao Yanjia couldn't help hissing: "Is it so backward and feudal?"

"It's already being changed, it's rarely like this now." Ye Bai was also helpless.

Zhou Zhicheng looked at Fade Chen again, he was too scared to raise his head.

She said: "Fade Chen, you are also 29 years old, set an example for your future children, face it bravely, and stop hiding behind your parents. Were you together with Lin Tao just to have children? Lin Tao and you have been in love and married for so many years, isn't even the money worth it? If she worked as a full-time nanny in your house for these nine years, wouldn't that be the only money?"

"When you were in love before, we were still in school. The teacher was in the priesthood, but it was okay to say it, but the girl's love was not. Lin Tao was worried that you would betray her. Do you still remember how you promised? Is it?"

Her words were lengthy, but they all had a target orientation. For a person like Chen Zhi, the threat was more important, and for the weak Fade Chen, it was easier to impress him with emotion.

Fang Tingting held Fade Chen's hand uneasily, and Lin Tao cried so hard in Zhou Zhicheng's arms that she could barely stand up, and her whole body collapsed.

Cai Lan's eyes were also red, and she wanted to scratch Chen Zhi's face: "What evil did I do to meet your conscienceless Chen family."

After a long time, Chen Fei said: "The house will be given to me and Tingting, because our children will live there, and I will give Lin Tao 40 as compensation for the house, and the 12 dowry money and jewelry and hardware will not be refunded. That's it, don't talk about it anymore." , Dad, Tingting!"

Zhou Zhicheng has always been emotional and has a strong ability to empathize. Many people told her that a lawyer should be objective and detached, and not be led by the client's emotions. Every point of view should be supported by tangible evidence. It is most likely to be close to the justice and truth in the legal sense, so sensibility is her shortcoming, and therefore she hardly comes into contact with any major criminal cases.

In her eyes, the final settlement of every trivial dispute in life is meaningful. She can help one by one, small troubles are also troubles, and small cases are also cases.

She is an ordinary person, and she just likes such fireworks and vicissitudes.

Chen Zhi's face was flushed red by Cai Lan's beating, and he was so angry that he wanted to fight back.

Zhao Yanjia was afraid that Cai Lan would really be beaten, so he came to Nanri County for a while, and he had already learned how to persuade rural people to fight. He tried to pull Chen Zhi on the surface, but he muttered: "Okay, Aunt Lan, don't beat Uncle Chen!" Secretly pinched Chen Zhi so hard that he screamed, making you so bad!

Jiang Xianghuai looked at Zhou Zhicheng, saw that she was not depressed, and was still worried about whether she was affected by her cousin's emotions. The next second, she saw her take out a brand new cohabitation settlement agreement in duplicate, and smiled slightly: "Since Agreed, let's re-sign this agreement, both of you."

Her good apprentice Ye Bai immediately took two black marker pens and gave them to Lin Tao and Fade Chen, urging them to sign.

The sadness and anger of the few people still hung on their faces, and they stared at the two pens blankly and dully.

Chen Fei and the others left after signing the contract. Although Cai Lan was satisfied with the current results, she was worried that Zhou Zhicheng would listen to Cai Mei's words and deliberately not help her fight for her as much as possible. Go ask Jiang Xianghuai: "Lawyer Jiang, grandma asks you, is it true that you just said that half of the house can be won?"

Jiang Xianghuai glanced at her with black eyes, his expression turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "Grandma, I'm talking nonsense. I'm different from Lawyer Zhou. I like to play tricks."

"You didn't lie to me?"

Ye Bai was very angry: "Aunt Lan, you have gone too far. Lawyer Zhou has worked so hard to fight for your interests, yet you still suspect her behind your back!"

There was no smile in Jiang Xianghuai's eyes: "Grandma, Lawyer Zhou is very tolerant of you. If you entrust me, you must prepare at least 5 yuan in legal fees. Even if you win the lawsuit, part of the gift money will be refunded to the Chen family." of."

Zhao Yanjia shook her fingers, and sighed softly: "Aunt Lan, the lawyer's fee for the case my brother took is not less than one million."

Cai Lan was too scared to speak.

Zhou Zhicheng didn't care what Cai Lan thought, she still had other work to do.

Jiang Xianghuai walked into the office and saw her answering the phone for consultation.

"Well, my suggestion to you is, don't pay for the man to buy the house, you pay for the renovation, if it is really time for divorce, it will be difficult for you to get back the renovation money, the decoration will depreciate, but the house will increase in value... Even if the man Put the house in your name, the law generally considers this kind of house purchase for the purpose of marriage, and when you get divorced, the man can prove his capital contribution, and it is very likely that you can get it back.”

She paused and gave a suggestion: "Unless the man signed a gift agreement at the same time as the transfer of ownership."

After Zhou Zhicheng hung up the phone, Jiang Xianghuai met her gaze and asked, "How many contracts have you prepared, how did you guess that Fade Chen would agree to a compensation of 40 yuan?"

"Two copies, guess casually, if you can't guess, just reprint it on the spot."

He wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he smiled: "I thought you would prepare a few spare sets as before..."

Zhou Zhicheng didn't even lift his eyelids to look at him, as if impatient: "Lawyer Jiang, this is Nanri County, not Beicheng, so we don't need so many backup plans."

Jiang Xianghuai laughed, feeling that after midnight in the hotel last night, their relationship was even worse than when they first met again.

Before he could think about what to say, her mobile phone on the table vibrated, and a man's name flashed on the screen.

The man's voice was gentle and smiling on the phone: "Are you busy, Lawyer Zhou?"

Zhou Zhicheng smiled: "Doctor He..."

She answered the phone deliberately to avoid him.

Jiang Xianghuai stood there, silent for a while, and simply pretended to respect her privacy, went out and closed the door.

The Mingdi trio had been here for a while, and it was the first time they saw Lawyer Zhou having an appointment with someone at night. After dressing up, they changed into a small e-donkey and went out.
