Marvel's princess becomes king

Chapter 44 Lawyer

Lao Qiao's daughter was also listening, and she couldn't help wiping away tears when she heard her father say that she had no job and no source of income.

Here again there are cultural differences between the East and the West.

Eastern women have a job, and achieving economic independence is the mainstream value consciousness.

But the West is different, there are so many housewives here!It is unimaginable in the East!

Leaving aside the matter of happy education, even women who have received higher education, even women who graduated from prestigious universities, there are a lot of people who choose to get married and go home to be housewives.

Men earn money to support the family, and women do housework and take care of children, which seems to be a matter of course here.

Right now, the eighty-year-old man is out to rob, and the middle-aged woman has hands and feet, and she stays at home without any disasters or diseases, washing clothes every day, and delivering children. This is also a common situation here, and Bella has no position to blame the other party.

She wasn't going to talk nonsense on the issue of women's rights, that would be far away, she comforted Old Qiao.

"Calm down. Anger can't solve the problem. We can resort to the law. I will consult a lawyer about the pension later. Let's talk about the Bank of the West asking you to buy wealth management products."

The old man was also very interested in this topic, and he began to talk endlessly about how the bank staff tricked him into buying wealth management products, and then lost all his principal, and even used his house to pay off the debt.

The old man burst into tears, and Bella felt a little uncomfortable.

What the steel factory and Stark Industries did was cheating, relying on your pensions, and delaying a little bit.

The bank just fucked up, using a lot of technical jargon to confuse the old man, and asked him to buy financial products while he was confused.

People here don’t have the habit of saving. 30.00% of them don’t even have savings of one thousand dollars. The old man’s whole family depends on his pension to make ends meet. What savings can he have?

Hearing the other party say that there is no risk, high return rate, high-quality projects, and what kind of national policy support is there. An 80-year-old man has long been out of touch with the times. How can he distinguish?

Old Joe and many of his co-workers used their houses as mortgages, and then bought the financial products that the bank staff would not buy themselves.

Bella and Natasha left Joe Sr.'s house with a sigh, and then went to Willy Sr., 85.There was no one at home, so after inquiring, I found out that the old man was admitted to the hospital because of kidney failure, and is now on a ventilator.

The remaining 81-year-old old Yar was quite talkative, but his girlfriend urged him so hard that he left after talking to them for 10 minutes.

"Can you still find a girlfriend at the age of 81?!"

Seeing the silver-haired grandma who seemed to be in her 70s sweetly holding the hand of the 81-year-old Yar, Bella was really shocked.

Natasha raised three fingers, with a strange expression that you rarely see: "What's the matter? Old Al has declared on many occasions that every morning, he can have sex with his girlfriend three times!"

Bella took another careful look at the old man Yar. This man couldn't walk well anymore. For a distance of more than ten meters, he walked in small steps for half a day, rubbing forward a little bit, and his legs couldn't move!Can such a body do it three times in the morning?I don't understand you old Americans very well!

"You guys are really good people!"

"God bless you both."

"Good boy, there are too few enthusiastic people like you now!"

Bella and Natasha asked seven or eight elderly families who had the same experience again. After they expressed their willingness to help the elderly seek justice, they received a lot of praise.

These things are useless to Natasha, that is, to make herself happy after listening to them, but they are of great use to Bella!

The compliments from the old people were all sincere, and her enthusiasm rose a lot in an instant.

Now that she was able to receive compliments, she immediately adjusted her original plan.

In the evening, the two deliberately found fault and fought with two other groups of high school students who were also conducting social investigations.

Natasha's so-called "little understanding" of karate is still reliable. Although it is still limited to the level of ordinary people, she has strength and agility enough, and her understanding of fighting skills is frighteningly high. Fist and two kicks 'persuaded' several high school students.

After they completed the social survey on the first day, there were thirteen younger brothers by their side.

Demonstration plus prosecution, these are the three magic weapons of social practice at this stage.

Natasha volunteered to organize demonstrations, while Bella used the little contacts left by the previous air crash to try to go through legal procedures to obtain a future guarantee for the old workers of these steel factories.

Even the most stubborn Texans have to admit that New Yorkers are very good at litigation, and the lawyers sought for the airline crash came from New York.

Bella called the law firm that was in charge of the current Air 180 crash. Knowing that she could not afford much legal fees, the other party enthusiastically recommended a lawyer for her.

After seeing this lawyer named Jerry Hogarth, Bella felt a little fooled.

This female lawyer looked too young, with black hair, a skirt, and high heels, and she was meticulously dressed, but judging by her face, she was not much older than Bella.

There is no personal assistant, and even the title on the business card is only a lawyer, not a partner of a law firm. This female lawyer is obviously just graduated from school.

Jerry Hogarth accepted the entrustment to sue the steel mill and Stark Industries to suspend pensions, but he was a little embarrassed about the old people buying financial products and losing their fortunes.

"Miss Swan, I understand your original intention, but from a legal point of view, buying financial products is risky, and there is nothing suspected of breaking the law."

Bella didn't study law. The laws of each state here are different, and she doesn't know whether it is illegal or not.

"Wouldn't there be fraud involved in this?" she asked.

Jerry Hogarth shook his head and chuckled lightly. If someone asked her such a question, she would casually brush it off, but seeing Bella's face, she still patiently and meticulously explained the difference to her.

"If the signatory is sane, has not been coerced, concealed, or deceived, then the investment agreement signed under this circumstance has a legal basis, and the investment is risky. The old people you mentioned will have their houses taken away by the bank. , personally I'm sorry, but as a lawyer I wouldn't recommend spending a lot of energy on it."

Bella scratched her head, the female lawyer spoke very clearly, and she was not a person who could not listen to persuasion.

According to her original intention, it is best to block the way for the elderly to buy wealth management products. What kind of wealth management is there at such an old age!But financial management is the mainstream here, and she can't think of any rebuttals.

"Well, let's focus on the distribution of pensions first. How to do it specifically?"

Jerry Hogarth thought for a while: "Do you know about joint prosecution? Find as many victims as possible and take the path of joint prosecution."
