Chapter 26 Should We Get Married First?
Chapter 26 Should We Get Married First?
The case officially opened at 9:30 in the morning.
Feng Xue was a little nervous when entering the courtroom.
Jiang Ning comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I'll hold up the sky if it falls!"
Feng Xue looked at him and then looked away.
It doesn't look like he's too nervous.
Feng Yu grabbed his hand, and Jiang Ning shook it back.
Nothing was said, yet everything was implied.
Not long after I sat down in the plaintiff's seat, the presiding judge arrived.
The process went through step by step. It was Jiang Ning's first time in court.
Sitting in the plaintiff's seat with Feng Yu and Feng Xue, I was quite curious.
In the dock, besides the fat man and the lawyer, there were also people from the insurance company.
But it soon became boring. He had no chance to speak and could only listen. Everything was procedural and carried out according to the legal provisions. There was no doubt about the case. There was an accident responsibility determination letter issued by the traffic police. The fat man parked illegally on the non-motor vehicle lane and opened the car door without confirming it was safe. He bore all the responsibility for the accident. The only question was the amount of compensation.
After reviewing the plaintiff's evidence, the judge first conducted mediation in court.
Gao Jinliang asked Feng Yu for his opinion.
Feng Yu had no idea, so he looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning said, "Pay 60,000 and let this matter go. Otherwise, we will file a lawsuit."
Gao Jinliang had an idea in mind and gave feedback.
In fact, after listening to the original complaint and the evidence submitted by the plaintiff, Fatty Liu San was already very disappointed. He did not expect that there would be a disability assessment. With this thing, the compensation would not be small, so he discussed it with the lawyer and the insurance company.
The insurance company only covers two thousand yuan and does not cover the rest.
The fat man didn't count on it either, because he only bought the compulsory traffic insurance and didn't buy the third liability insurance.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t hire a lawyer, so I can only discuss it with the lawyer.
After much negotiation, the maximum compensation was only 10,000 yuan.
Jiang Ning certainly disagreed and gave his opinion: "Let the court decide!"
The court actually wanted to mediate, and if it could mediate in court, there would be no need to enter the trial process. The court told the defendant: "The evidence submitted by the victim is fine. He lost three months of work, and the direct economic loss was nearly 40,000 yuan. The victim's request for 60,000 yuan in compensation is not too much. If it enters the trial process, it will not be less than this amount. You should think about it again. If you can mediate, try to mediate."
The fat lawyer asked to see the evidence.
The court agreed.
The lawyer began to look through the evidence.
After searching for a long time, I couldn't find the loophole.
There is no need to question the degree of disability. Since the Judicial Appraisal Center has issued a disability appraisal, even if he is not injured, he is injured. However, there is no problem with the salary income certificates and so on. This is not normal.
When you are in a lawsuit, you can be sure of winning only if you know both yourself and your enemy.
The fat man had also asked about Feng Xue.
Knowing that Feng Xue is unemployed, where does this monthly salary of 1 yuan come from?
The fat man immediately questioned.
The lawyer lowered his voice and said, "Even if the person is really unemployed, this income certificate is not fake. It has the official seal on it, so it has legal effect. The court only recognizes evidence. Even if this income certificate is fake, it has nothing to do with this case. After the verdict is announced, we can only provide evidence to prove that the plaintiff and the company forged it. It has no impact on the verdict of this case."
The fat man was a little angry: "Then let the court decide."
The lawyer nodded and expressed the defendant's opinion.
The case entered the trial process.
Lawyers on both sides took turns presenting evidence and raising doubts and opinions.
It's just that when the facts are clear and the evidence is sufficient, the fat man's lawyer is a bit nitpicking and his defense is quite weak, while the people from the insurance company are calm and seem to be in a trance.
Anyway, no matter how much the final verdict is, the insurance company will only pay two thousand yuan.
Jiang Ning listened with great interest at first.
These lawyers are really good at talking.
After a long time, I felt a little drowsy.
After more than an hour of tug-of-war, the court finally made its verdict.
The fat man wants to compensate Feng Xue 68000.
These include seven or eight types of expenses, including medical expenses, loss of work wages, nursing fees, transportation expenses, accommodation expenses, nutrition expenses, property loss expenses and mental damage expenses. The fat man expressed his dissatisfaction in court and wanted to apply for a retrial.
After coming out of the court, the people from the insurance company quickly slipped away.
It seems like he is just here for the occasion.
The fat man and the lawyer also stayed away from Jiang Ning, as if they were unwilling to get close to him.
Arrived in the yard and before getting in the car.
Jiang Ning said a few words to Gao Jinliang: "I won't be here for the afternoon court session. I'll leave it to you."
Gao Jinliang said: "After all, you hit someone and you have subjective fault. You can't win the case. At most, you will have to pay less money. I asked someone to find out that the other party is indeed hospitalized for treatment. The medical expenses must be compensated!"
Jiang Ning said, "I won't pay a penny. If you can't win, just delay it. Anyway, you can find a way to delay it if you can. If you can't delay it, go to the city to appeal after the verdict. Anyway, I won't pay a penny. Let's see who can outlast the other."
Gao Jinliang nodded: "I understand."
Jiang Ning didn't say anything else, and got into the car with Feng Yu and Feng Xue and left.
Gao Jinliang looked at the 570 going away and smacked his lips.
Rich people are willful!
Ordinary people cannot afford to sue, as it is time-consuming and costly, but rich people do not have this concern, especially for civil lawsuits like this one. They can just leave it to a lawyer, and there are plenty of ways to drag the case out. It is really no big deal to drag it out for a few years.
After the car drove out of the compound, Feng Yu was still sighing: "That person said he wanted to apply for a retrial. Does he have to be sentenced again?"
Jiang Ning said, "Don't worry about it. It's okay for the person in question not to be present in this kind of case. There are even online trials. From now on, you and your sister don't have to worry about it. Just leave it to the lawyers. Don't let these things affect your mood."
Feng Yu said: "I just think it's too troublesome."
Jiang Ning said: "So you don't need to worry about this anymore. I will handle these troublesome matters."
Feng Yu nodded and asked, "How is your farm?"
Jiang Ning was very excited: "It has been fenced off with barbed wire. Now they are digging wells, repairing roads and planting trees. Houses are also being built. I plan to build a villa there. If I don't want to stay in the city in the future, it would be nice to go to the villa for a picnic and relax."
Feng Yu also became interested: "I'll go over and take a look when I have time!"
Jiang Ning said: "How about we go over now?"
Feng Yu looked back at Feng Xue.
Feng Xue made a sign: "Whatever."
Feng Yu said, "Then let's go and take a look. I just happened to have taken half a day off today!"
Jiang Ning drove the two of them around, but they didn't see the farm. They only saw dust flying everywhere, roads being built everywhere, and people planting trees. The saplings were as thin as fingers, and it was unknown how many years it would take for them to grow!
Feng Yu was a little disappointed and asked, "It would cost a lot of money to plant trees on such a large piece of land, right?"
Jiang Ning said: "It doesn't cost much to plant trees. We plant the cheapest poplar trees. A sapling costs only one dollar. Labor is more expensive than the sapling. Planting a tree costs three dollars. Planting 20,000 acres of trees would only cost eight million."
Feng Yu really didn't understand: "I thought it would cost tens of millions, but these saplings are really cheap."
Jiang Ning said, "The biggest part is the irrigation project, which costs a lot. I estimate that it will cost 20 million in total. The rest is small change. I plan to get a pasture and raise some cattle and sheep, especially good breeds of sheep, and sell them for money. In the summer, we will have time to come to the farm for barbecue and kill the cattle for food. We won't feed the cattle and just kill them for meat."
Feng Yu said: "If you spend so much money and don't make any money, won't you lose money?"
Jiang Ning said, "You can make some money by raising cattle and sheep. Sheep are fine, but a cow costs more than 10,000 yuan, and the breeding cycle is long, so it's not cost-effective. I plan to open a medicinal field and plant some valuable Chinese medicinal herbs to generate income. I also plan to plant some trees. Those trees will make money when they grow up. I will raise some chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep for my own consumption, and give away the surplus to relatives and friends."
Feng Yu was fascinated by what he heard and also longed for the leisurely life he described.
After a walk, it was already noon.
It was too late to cook when we drove back to the county town.
Just have a meal outside and send the two of them downstairs.
Just as Jiang Ning was about to go upstairs and sit for a while, he received another call from his mother.
I had to go to his brother's house.
Jiang Ning walked in and asked his mother, "Mom, is there something you want to ask me?"
Zhang Yulan asked, "How was your talk with Feng Yu?"
Jiang Ning said: "That's about it!"
Zhang Yulan said, "It's almost time to get married. You're not young anymore. Have you told Feng Yu about it?"
Jiang Ning grunted: "I haven't said it yet!"
Zhang Yulan said, "You can ask Feng Yu first to see if he can arrange the marriage for you two first, and then get married at the end of the year."
Jiang Ning thought about it and decided not to run a marathon.
I agreed.
A few days later, Feng Yu's birthday arrived.
Jiang Ning booked a table outside to celebrate Feng Yu's birthday.
There were only three of us, no one else.
It can be seen that Feng Yu is very happy.
Feng Xue was also very happy.
Eat and drink enough.
Jiang Ning took out two boxes, opened one first, took out a pendant, put it on Feng Yu's neck, and said, "I made this pendant. I got the sapphire from South America. It's good for your health. Don't take it off. Wear it even when you sleep!"
Feng Yu didn't know much about gemstones, but this sapphire was so beautiful that it was obviously worth a lot of money. As for the fact that it was good for the body, she automatically ignored it and thought Jiang Ning was bragging. She asked, "Is this pendant expensive?"
Jiang Ning said, "This thing is very expensive if someone is willing to pay a high price. If no one is willing to pay a high price, it is just a piece of stone and has no value. Let me tell you the point. This pendant was made by me. Wearing it is really good for your health. Don't put it in the cabinet without wearing it."
Feng Yu smiled and nodded, without refutating him.
Jiang Ning opened the second box and found another pendant inside.
Also blue.
Feng Yu was a little surprised that there were two pendants.
I thought it was a ring!
Jiang Ning looked at Feng Xue, then at Feng Yu, and said, "This is for my sister. I made two."
Feng Yu was obviously very surprised. She didn't expect that she would prepare one for her sister as well.
Feng Xue obviously didn't expect that she would be included and was quite surprised.
Feng Yu's Jiang Ning can wear it around his neck by himself.
Feng Xue didn't dare to act rashly.
I could only look at Feng Yu.
Although Feng Yu was surprised, she didn't say anything. She happily accepted the gift on behalf of her sister. She took out the pendant and wanted to put it on Feng Xue's neck. Feng Xue hurriedly used sign language, as if she didn't want to accept the gift.
Jiang Ning explained: "It's really good for your health, you should wear it!"
Feng Yu also said, "Put it on, sister."
Feng Xue was a little embarrassed, but still let Feng Yu put the pendant on her.
After Feng Yu sat down, Jiang Ning said, "Dear, should we get married first?"
