Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

As they were talking, the receptionist came over to look for Youcai and said, "Someone wants to see you. They are the same female comrades who came to see you a while ago."

Youcai was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Train salesman? My mother's colleague?"

The receptionist nodded, "Yes!"

Youcai guessed that they came here to thank his mother for her help. To be honest, he didn't want to see them. They were alive and well, but his mother was in jail. Good people don't get good rewards.

But Mom said she didn't regret it. He thought about it and finally met her. "Where?"

"In the Peach Blossom Spring box."

Youcai nodded and went to the box to see why they came.

After he entered, he found two people in the compartment, one was the train salesman from before, surnamed Chen, and the other was a man in his sixties, probably her father.

Seeing him come in, Xiao Chen immediately stood up and introduced him, "This is Professor Lu Siliang from the School of Criminal Justice at Huaguo University of Political Science and Law."

Hearing that his last name was Lu, which meant he had no relation to Xiao Chen, Youcai realized that he had guessed wrong, and stepped forward to shake hands, "Hello!"

Lu Siliang was stunned for a moment, held his hand and motioned him to sit down.

Xiao Chen explained the situation again. "There was a public trial today. I didn't go to watch it. I went to ask Uncle Lu, who is an authority on criminal matters. The plaintiff appealed in court. There is still a possibility that our case can be overturned."

Youcai was surprised, "Overturn the verdict?"

There are so many lawyers in the court today, all of whom are leaders in the industry. Is there any possibility of overturning the verdict in this case?

Just as Lu Siliang was about to explain to him, Youcai held out his hand, motioning him to wait. He turned around and ran to the Lantingxu private room to invite all his family members in. He was afraid that he would not be able to repeat what the other party said, so it would be better to let them come in and listen directly.

With so many people coming in, the box seemed very crowded. Those who came in later could only stand, but they didn't care. They all looked at Lu Siliang seriously.

"Professor Lu, did someone just say that you can overturn the verdict?" Jidong found a favorable position as soon as he entered the room and sat down next to Professor Lu.

Lu Siliang explained, "In today's case, it was determined that Ms. Zhang Xiuhua was courageous and brave, and there is no doubt about that. She does not need to go to jail. The controversial point is illegal possession of firearms. This case happened in Russia, and the charge also exists. However, this case is being tried here, and our country does not have the charge of illegal possession of firearms for the time being."

Everyone's eyes widened. No? Li Jianguo's face lit up, "So, Xiuhua might be found not guilty?"

Before Lu Siliang could explain, Xiao Chen smiled and explained, "Uncle Lu is a professor at the Criminal Justice College of Huaguo University of Political Science and Law. He participated in the compilation of the Criminal Law."

As soon as these words came out, everyone stood in awe and looked at Xiao Chen with strange eyes. Xiang Xiang invited Qin, a lawyer from Tsinghua Law School, and they thought Xiang Xiang's network of connections was very impressive. They never expected that Xiao Chen would even invite such a big name in the industry.

Lu Siliang waved his hand. "The country has indeed been planning to draft a bill to punish illegal gun manufacturing in recent years, but the Gun Control Law has not yet been promulgated, so there is no such crime yet."

After he said this, everyone understood and everyone's face was filled with joy.

Youcai was confused. "Shouldn't the court's judgment be based on our country's laws? Why did they charge my mother with this crime?"

"Your mother is lucky, this case was so serious that it alerted the higher-ups. The person in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs brought both the victim and the perpetrator back to China. If she had been tried in Russia, she would have been sentenced to at least three years." Lu Siliang also explained, "Bringing the murderer back to China is actually a slap in Russia's face. We also have to refer to Russia's laws when we make judgments. We can't say they made a wrong judgment."

Jidong understood what he said, which meant that they had to consider Damao's face when judging this case. "If we judge it completely according to our domestic laws, is that okay?"

The law of the country where the crime was committed should govern it. This is a matter of course. How can we use foreign laws to judge cases in China? This doesn't make sense.

Lu Siliang smiled and said, "If that happens, the country will definitely compensate Da Mao later."

In fact, they got an advantage. When they went to the police station to report the case, the Mao police could not understand Mandarin, so the diplomatic department easily took them back to their country. If they understood Mandarin, they probably could not be taken away. The passengers who reported the case included Xiao Chen and others, who only knew basic Russian and could not communicate normally with the police. Zhang Xiuhua, the only one who could communicate with Mao, sent the person to the hospital first, because the doctor said that Daben was likely to die. She was so scared at the time that she didn't know that there was no crime of illegal possession of firearms at this time. Because she already had it in her previous life. She thought she was going to jail, but when she rushed to the police station, the diplomats had already arrived and took them away. In other words, she didn't have time to tell the Mao police that she had shot and killed someone.

This case was very complicated. The victims were all Chinese and they couldn't speak the language, so they had to find a translator to handle the case. The police were too lazy to deal with it, so they let the diplomats take the people away.

After hearing what Lu Siliang said, everyone regained hope.

Ergou immediately expressed his opinion, "I can donate money. I originally wanted to compensate the victim's family and ask them to write a letter of apology. Now it is not necessary. It is better to give the money to the country."

Youcai put his arm around Jidong's shoulders and said, "He works at a research institute and has invented something that has already succeeded. Mom gave him money, can the government be more lenient with him?"

Seeing this, Lu Siliang also laughed, "Maybe it will be useful. I will communicate with the higher-ups. Wait for my news."

Youcai immediately said, "I will cook something delicious for you right now. Please wait."

He ran out to cook his specialty. Jidong and the others also chatted with Lu Siliang.

What do authority figures like? They like people who excel.

Upon learning that Jidong was doing scientific research at the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Lu Siliang nodded in appreciation, "Not bad! He has a promising future. We lost so many soldiers in the Korean War because we did not have air control. The country must make up for this."

Seeing that he liked it, Li Jianguo introduced Jilin, "He also works in the institute, but his research direction is in the mechanical field."

Lu Siliang nodded, "It can be used in all aspects of machinery. Like assembly lines, machinery manufacturing, trains, subways, and high-speed railways."

After looking at the two men, he looked at Baolin again, "I always feel that you look familiar. Have I seen you somewhere?"

He had been paying attention to her for a long time, but he couldn't remember her. He patted his head and laughed at himself, "When people get old, their memory is not good."

Li Jianguo never thought that Mr. Lu could recognize Bao Lin. "It seems that you must like watching sports programs. Bao Lin is a short track speed skater. He has won two Olympic championships and has four gold medals."

Lu Siliang finally remembered, "Yes, yes, yes! You were on the sports channel broadcast by CCTV during the Chinese New Year. I said I had seen you. My granddaughter likes ice skating, and my son and daughter-in-law take them to practice every year. She loves me to watch the show with her."

Jidong immediately gave Baolin his seat and allowed her to get closer to him.

Baolin was a little embarrassed, "Can I teach her how to skate when I have time?"

"That little girl must be so happy." Lu Siliang smiled from ear to ear. He turned his head to look at Li Jianguo, "Your family really knows how to educate your children. Each of them is a pillar of the country."

Li Jianguo was not modest. Why should he be modest at this time? He smiled and said, "Actually, it's all my wife's credit. I used to be a soldier and participated in the Vietnam War. My wife is at home taking care of the children."

He pointed at Yaoyao and Zhuzhu, "These two are my children. One is studying medicine, and the other is an actor. The one who just left is my eldest son, who is a chef. Xiuhua raises him as her own child."

Lu Siliang smiled, "That's right! The children are not crooked, they are all good children. Comrade Zhang Xiuhua is an amazing mother. She is also a kind-hearted person. The country should not let down the hearts of good people."

After he said this, everyone's uneasy hearts settled down.

When Youcai and Zhenzhen served the dishes to class, Lu Siliang was flattered when he saw the ginseng chicken soup. "Xiao Chen invited me in just now, and I thought I came to the wrong place. This is too extravagant."

Youcai had just told Zhenzhen about Lu Siliang, and he praised him specially, "When we invite distinguished guests, we must serve good things. This ginseng is grown in our own mountain farm, and it is all eight-year-old good ginseng. Mr. Lu may often stay up late, and his qi and blood are a little weak. Drinking ginseng will replenish your energy and make you feel more energetic."

Lu Siliang smiled and nodded, "I'm sorry for the expense."

"We are the ones who are bothering you." Zhenzhen smiled and invited everyone to eat.

In order to take care of Lu Siliang, she specially changed the menu and made more soft and delicious meals. Lu Siliang usually doesn't like to go out to eat because of his old age and bad teeth. The dishes served at this time are all what he can eat, and he couldn't help but eat two more bowls.

After he finished his meal, Jidong and Baolin took a taxi to send Lu Siliang back home.

After seeing them off, Li Jianguo thanked Xiao Chen, "Thank you for your help."

Xiao Chen shook his head and said no, "If it weren't for Comrade Xiuhua, I might... be able to help, and I would be very happy."

Youcai and Yaoyao had complained to their mother that good people don't get rewarded, but now when they heard that she was grateful, they felt a little uncomfortable and thanked her.
