no longer ordinary friends

"Ah!" Zhou Zhicheng heard the man's scream.

It was Zhao Yanjia, as if he was the one who was thrown by the hen, he opened his eyes slightly, and rushed towards Jiang Xianghuai, waving his arms, chasing the old hen: "Go away, do you hear me, brother?" , don't be afraid!"

The old hen was obviously more and more frightened, and her wings fluttered more vigorously.

Jiang Xianghuai's whole body became a frozen sculpture, without saying a word, his thin lips were tightly pursed, his outline was tense, his eyes were dark and bottomless, but his lips were slightly white.

It's not that Zhao Yanjia is afraid of chickens, but he has never caught a chicken before. The old hen was so frightened that he "creaked and creaked" and started pecking at Jiang Xianghuai's body in a panic.

The surrounding villagers didn't believe that some people would be so afraid of chickens that they couldn't move, let alone that chickens had nothing to be afraid of, so they laughed from the sidelines.

Zhao Yanjia made a sudden move and grabbed the chicken's neck, thinking that he had seized the chicken's fate.

It’s over.

Zhou Zhicheng stood up quickly, but it was too late to stop him.

The old hen flapped its big wings desperately, and slapped Zhao Yanjia's handsome face hard again and again. The chicken feathers flew all over the sky. The next pile of chicken shit.

Zhao Yanjia was dumbfounded.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhicheng made a quick move, firmly grabbed its two wings, restrained the tossing old hen, and grabbed it out of the office.

Zhao Yanjia: "Lawyer Zhou is so powerful, the hen is so ferocious, it scared me to death."

Jiang Xianghuai's expression was not good, his eyes were fixed, and his Adam's apple rolled slowly. Hearing his words, he frowned slightly, looked at him expressionlessly, and squeezed out a few words from his throat: "It's scary to have you ?”

Zhao Yanjia also knew that she was doing bad things with good intentions, so she didn't dare to say anything more.

After Zhou Zhicheng caught the chicken and washed his hands, he poured Jiang Xianghuai a glass of warm water, just to calm him down.

Aunt Zhang, the owner of the old hen, thought it was funny: "You, a strong man over 1.8 meters tall, are still afraid of chickens? You are less courageous than chickens."

Jiang Xianghuai took a sip of water, but he could still hear the crowing of chickens in the yard outside, his brows throbbed heavily. He wanted to say something, but something stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.

Zhou Zhicheng explained: "Aunt Zhang, some people are naturally afraid of these things, and some people even faint directly."

"People in the city have a lot of problems. In our village, men who can't catch chickens are not called men." Aunt Zhang frowned, "Then he is afraid that this will happen. What should I do if my chickens are stolen?"

Aunt Zhang continued: "Ten of my chickens were stolen by a short-lived ghost. When the police caught that person, all the chickens were left with only their skeletons and leftover chicken soup. My poor chickens, I wanted to raise them." Wait until my grandson comes back to eat during the Chinese New Year."

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became: "I stewed ten of them and ate them all at once, and I'm not afraid of being overwhelmed! The police arrested him, locked him up for a few days, and then released him. I'm so angry, this short-lived ghost still refuses to pay! Don't you dare not listen!" She sighed, "Lawyer Zhou, can you help me find a way? This kind of heartless person should be sent to jail!"

"Don't worry, you go back first, I will contact the police later and ask about the specific situation."

"Okay, okay." Aunt Zhang was satisfied. Before she left, she glanced at the pale Jiang Xianghuai again. She probably felt that a big man was afraid of chickens like this, and she felt a little distressed. Kill it, don't be afraid!"

Jiang Xianghuai: "..."

Zhou Zhicheng has been busy all day, most of the time is spent answering debt-related questions. Rural people are more used to writing IOUs instead of IOUs, but whether it is IOUs or IOUs, the format they write is not complete. When it comes time to ask for money When they can't get it back and a dispute arises, these documents become a problem.

"In the future, everyone will write IOUs, and don't write IOUs anymore. Taking out IOUs means that you have a debt relationship for borrowing money, which is more legally effective. Moreover, IOUs are used when you have not agreed on a repayment period. You can come back at any time, and you are not bound by the three-year statute of limitations, that is to say, even if you ignore the IOU within three years, you will not lose the right to win the lawsuit just because the time has passed." Zhou Zhicheng explained in the simplest words .

"What about the IOU?"

"The IOU has to be repaid within three years. If it exceeds three years, the legal effect will be greatly reduced, and it is very likely that you will not get the money back if you sue."

An uncle asked: "The IOU can be obtained no matter how long it has been borrowed?"

"20 years, it is best to ask for it within 20 years, but there is an exception, if the loan contract stipulates the repayment time, then when the repayment time comes, you must go to the other party to repay the money or go to the court within three years. Otherwise, the right to win the lawsuit will be lost.”

"Lawyer Zhou, can you help me see the IOU written in this way?"

Another uncle leaned over and glanced at it, then shook his head: "You didn't listen carefully last time when you saw it. The amount of the IOU must be capitalized, so that people will not change the number! You didn't write the interest."

"Okay, okay, as long as you know, can I not know? I'll just ask Lawyer Zhou!"

Zhou Zhicheng smiled: "After I issued an IOU, it is best to issue another receipt. When we borrow money, we should be more prepared. Although it is troublesome, it is better than waiting until the money comes back, isn't it?"

"That's for sure, I have suffered this loss before! Brothers also have to settle accounts clearly."

Towards the end, a gray-haired old man came in. He walked towards Zhou Zhicheng, hesitated for a while, his beard trembling, and said: "Lawyer Zhou, my son's tombstone has my grandson's name on it. The daughter-in-law did it, she not only engraved my grandson's name wrongly, but also put my grandson's name next to my son's name, which is unlucky, my eldest grandson has lost all his luck in the past few years."

He frowned tightly: "My step-daughter-in-law still refuses to change it. If I want to change it, she won't let it. It's useless to call the police. Lawyer, what should I do in this situation?"

Zhao Yanjia and Lu He's eyes were opened today. First, they poked at the chickens, and saw the chicken thieves who made a lot of noise just for the sake of a few worthless chickens. All the chicken was stewed in one pot; and then this outrageous father-in-law wanted to sue his daughter-in-law because of the superstitious order of names on the tombstone.

The most real thought in Lu He's heart is that these people are too idle, too boring, making troubles over these worthless things.

The old man was really angry: "My daughter-in-law here got married after my son was gone, so marry as soon as you marry, and even harm my grandson!"

Zhou Zhicheng asked: "You just want her to change the name of the tombstone? What did the police say?"

"The police said it was a family matter! I wanted to change it forcefully, but I was afraid that my son's cemetery would be damaged."

Zhou Zhicheng suggested, "Maybe you can try suing."

The Nanri County Court had also ruled on a similar tombstone inscription case before.

It was getting dark, and the village chief had prepared dinner at home, and came to call Zhou Zhicheng and the others to eat. As soon as he came in and saw his old uncle pestering Lawyer Zhou, he frowned helplessly: "Oh, old uncle, why are you here?" Because of that tombstone again? Let’s mediate in the village. Shufen sued me today, saying that you deliberately killed her father’s pig at an early age. Look, you’ve been making trouble every day!”

The old man scolded: "She will change the inscription on the tombstone immediately, and I will stop beating her pig!"

"Okay, okay." The village head perfunctory, took the old man away directly, and turned to Zhou Zhicheng, "Lawyer Zhou, I'll take my uncle back to his house first, do you know where my home is, my wife cooks the meals Come on, let's go to dinner."

Every time the lawyers from Kailun Law Firm come to Guancun to work, they eat and live at the village chief’s house.

The village head’s house is not far from the entrance of the village. A yellow lamp is pulled in the yard. Moths and insects are flying under the light beam. The light covers a small square table. The table is basically filled with various kinds of seafood. The cheapest and best food in Nanri County is seafood.

Just as everyone was about to eat, the yard door was knocked again.

Aunt Zhang was all smiles, holding a large basin in her hand. She walked in quickly, put the large basin on the table, and lifted the lid of the basin.

The rich aroma of chicken soup is overflowing, which can easily arouse people's appetite.

She warmly greeted: "Come, come, everyone, try it. Anyway, there is only one left. I just killed the old hen and stewed it all afternoon. It tastes delicious. It is hard work for you lawyers to replenish your body." gone."

Jiang Xianghuai only glanced at it, his whole body tensed suddenly, his fingers clenched tightly, his knuckles turned white, his face expressionless, he stood up abruptly, because the movement was too sudden, he accidentally bumped into the Eight Immortals table, the table shook twice, The chicken head in the chicken soup also shook twice.

He vomited.
