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

Everyone thought that it would take Jidong and Baolin no more than an hour to send Mr. Lu home, but in fact, they did not return until the evening.

Baolin was so tired that when he arrived at the hotel, he collapsed on the sofa.

Seeing that she was so tired, Ergou sat next to her, let her rest her head on his legs, and helped her massage her temples.

Baolin asked him to massage his calves instead.

Seeing Baolin so tired, Li Jianguo was a little puzzled and looked at Jidong, "Why did you two come back so late?"

"When we were sending Professor Lu back, we happened to meet his granddaughter coming back. Baolin accompanied her granddaughter ice skating. She has been there until now." Jidong can't skate, so he just chatted with Professor Lu.

Youcai patted Baolin on the shoulder and said, "I'll go make you some ginseng chicken soup."

Yaoyao saw that Ergou was not being polite when giving Baolin a massage. He was not a child anymore, so he didn't hesitate. He was already in his twenties or thirties, so he should pay attention to his influence. She motioned Ergou to get up, "I'll give her a massage."

Ergou was slightly startled, but after thinking about it he decided to move aside.

Yaoyao is a medical student. Even though she majored in Western medicine, she also took Chinese medicine classes when she was in school. She also knew the acupuncture points on the body. When she pressed, she specifically looked for the acupuncture points, which was a little painful. Baolin was pressed so hard that she cried, "Sister, I can't call you sister. Be gentle!"

Hearing her scream, Ergou was a little unsteady, "Let me do it. Your hands are too heavy."

Yaoyao didn't move away, and pressed her leg, "Are you injured here? Why does it hurt so much when I press you?"

There is a lot of flesh in the calf, how could it hurt like this! Baolin was clearly not right.

Baolin hesitated, avoided eye contact and said nothing.

Her expression showed that something was wrong. Li Jianguo frowned and asked, "Did you fall?"

He just felt strange. Baolin is a professional athlete. How can he be so tired after teaching a kid to skate for two or three hours? That athlete is too inexperienced!

Baolin said nothing, so Li Jianguo looked at Ergou.

Ergou couldn't stand the pressure and told the truth, "In fact, when you asked her to come back, she was already injured. The doctor told her to come back and rest for three months. But it's only been a month and a half, and she's skating again!"

When Jidong heard the seriousness of the situation, his face turned green. "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"We are asking for help. Besides, I have been recuperating for a month and a half and I am almost well now. If Yaoyao hadn't told me, you wouldn't have known, right?" Baolin said casually.

No one really noticed, but they were too worried about Zhang Xiuhua's case to pay attention to her.

Yaoyao patted Baolin's shoulder, looking worried, "How can you say that? It's true that you can walk normally now, but you are an athlete, and your physical fitness is high. Any sequelae will affect your competition. Unless you retire now, I won't advise you. You'd better take good care of yourself and don't be so impulsive next time."

Baolin was still frightened. She was still young and didn't want to retire. She hesitated, "But I have already told Shanshan that I will teach her to skate tomorrow? If I don't go tomorrow, will she be unhappy? If she is unhappy, her grandfather will definitely be angry with me, and then my case will fail."

This is indeed a problem. Jidong thought of a compromise. "You can just give some pointers from the side. Your own legs are more important. Professor Lu has already promised and will not go back on his word. When you are on vacation, you can teach her. Your health is equally important."

Xiang Xiang also thought this was a good idea. "When your coach teaches you, he doesn't necessarily have to teach you step by step every time, right?"

Baolin thought about it and agreed.

The next day, Zhang Xiuhua's case of being sentenced to two years in prison for saving someone was reported by major media. The Russian robbery was well known and reported by major media. However, the media did not report Zhang Xiuhua's heroic act of saving someone. Cases like this are usually only reported by TV stations like CCTV, and they must be reviewed before they can be broadcast.

But this issue of China Daily published a front-page headline.

Citizens saw the report and lamented Zhang Xiuhua's experience. Most of them had the same idea as Yaoyao: saving people but going to jail. Who can we go to for justice? !

People from TV stations also interviewed Zhang Xiuhua, asking her why she was holding a gun at the time and why she risked being imprisoned to save people.

In the early years, China became a colony. In order to drive away the invaders, warlords were established in various places, and many people hid guns. At that time, many people knew how to make homemade bombs.

The people did not think Zhang Xiuhua's possession of a pistol was a big deal, nor did they think she was going to commit murder. She just wanted to protect herself. She saved someone, but she had to go to jail. This was something the people could not understand.

Zhang Xiuhua's interview was soon broadcast on TV.

When hearing her say "I don't regret saving people", many viewers felt that she was a kind and helpful person.

Many media followed suit and reported that since they could not interview Zhang Xiuhua, they began to interview Zhang Xiuhua's relatives.

Li Jianguo and others were also happy to learn that they were going to be reported. If this matter became a big deal, perhaps the judge would also consider the opinions of the local people.

The family gathered together to discuss and decided to let Baolin be interviewed.

Among the six children, only Baolin is well-known. Although Zhuzhu also acted in movies and played many roles, people at that time were still influenced by the old ideas and thought that actors were low-class people who were not worthy of being on stage. But it was different for Olympic champions, who brought glory to the country. In the hearts of many Chinese people, Baolin's contribution was higher than Zhuzhu's.

In the past, Zhuzhu would definitely not agree with this statement, but in order to save her mother and not to save face, she not only did not rush for fame, but instead taught Sister Baolin how to answer reporters' questions.

Don't think that all journalists are good. Some journalists will resort to any despicable means to gain traffic.

"Don't fall into the trap of reporters. You should focus more on education and talk more about your mother." Zhuzhu was afraid that Sister Baolin wouldn't know how to speak, so she taught her step by step, and she was very worried about her.

Baolin had been interviewed before, but those were all about her training, occasionally talking about her teammates and coaches, but rarely about her family. This time the focus was different, Baolin was not experienced, so she humbly asked her sister for advice.

Fortunately, the interviews at that time were all scripted. The questions asked were not impromptu questions, and Baolin quickly got the questions asked by the press conference.

The family gathered together to discuss what would be the best answer.

The first question is: What do you think about your mother being sentenced to prison for her heroic act?

Youcai blurted out, "Of course we have to say that there is nothing wrong with our mother."

Jidong patted his shoulder and said, "How can you say that? You are dissatisfied with the judge. Our mother is counting on the judge to change the verdict to not guilty. You are too offensive to say that."

Ergou also felt that this was inappropriate. "I think we should be more tactful. We should say this: I am proud of my mother for her bravery, but I cannot accept a two-year sentence."

Zhuzhu felt that his comment was even more inappropriate. "These media outlets are the best at taking things out of context. If they only broadcast the second half of the sentence, then Sister Baolin is done for. People used to sympathize with our mom, but once this interview came out, her goodwill was immediately ruined."

Everyone thought she was professional and humbly asked her, "What do you think is the appropriate way to put it?"

Zhuzhu thought about the words in her mind, and quickly lowered her voice, put on a wronged face, and said, "As far as I know, our country does not ban guns. I don't know why the judge charged my mother with illegal possession of guns?" After she finished speaking, she spread her hands and said, "The first paragraph first presents the facts and reasoning, and the second sentence raises questions. Even if the TV station separates the two sentences, it will not affect your meaning."

In order to match her words, she even acted out her grievance, with tears in her eyes and a pitiful look, as if she had suffered a great injustice, which made people unable to help but sympathize with her.

Only Yaoyao frowned. "Baolin won't act like you. And even though you may seem aggrieved, it can't cover up your aggressive nature. Although we are accepting media interviews, we are actually begging the judge. It's too disrespectful to the judge to ask like this. You can ask like this: I think judges in our country should judge cases according to our country's laws! This sentence actually tells the judge that foreign laws should not be used to judge cases in our country."

Yaoyao is very good at writing in the Spring and Autumn style. But at this time, we have to be more straightforward, and the public will also think that this makes sense. This is originally a case in our country, why should we use foreign laws?

Baolin really couldn't learn her sister's tricks. She cried without hesitation. She didn't know how the little girl did it. She still liked Yaoyao's plan more. It was sonorous and powerful, but also independent. "Okay! Let's adopt Yaoyao's plan."

The family gathered together to discuss the plan.

Soon Baolin accepted the interview and it was broadcast according to the script they set.

As soon as this interview was broadcast, it sparked heated discussion among everyone.

At that time, they were not considered a sports powerhouse and did not win many gold medals. The gold content of an Olympic champion is very high. In addition, Baolin has outstanding looks and has many fans.

Only then did everyone know that Zhang Xiuhua was Baolin's mother.

"She is an incredible mother who has trained her daughter to become an Olympic champion and bravely stood up for what is right."

"Zhang Baolin is right. Why should we use foreign laws to judge cases in China? Our mainland is not a Maritime Law System. This doesn't make sense!"

"She's going to compete in the World Short Track Speed ​​Skating Championships in a few months. But she's running around for her mother's case. Isn't this delaying her training?"

Many people were dissatisfied with the verdict, and many even called the mayor's hotline to complain, thinking that the lawyers were not upright. The mayor of the capital was also in a dilemma, as he, as a mayor, could not control the court's judgment. This was just nonsense.

Amid the public's continued attention, the second trial was held a month later, and many media outlets rushed to interview the case.

Zhang Xiuhua's case has become a matter of concern to the whole nation. Should we take the initiative to help others?

Zhang Xiuhua needed to attend twice, one was when Zhang Xiuhua filed an appeal, and the other was when the victim's family demanded civil compensation and she became the defendant.

In the second case, the court rejected the victim's appeal and upheld the original verdict, meaning that the victim did not have to be compensated a single cent.

Zhang Xiuhua filed an appeal and the trial officially began.

Major media outlets attended the trial, and relatives sat in the first row, nervously watching Zhang Xiuhua come out.

Zhang Xiuhua turned her head and saw that all her family members had arrived. She greeted them. Jidong hadn't seen his aunt for almost a year, and he had lost a lot of weight. His skin was also much rougher.

After sitting down, Lu Siliang, as Zhang Xiuhua's lawyer, raised a crucial question at the beginning, "Which law do we cite when judging a case in our country?"

The prosecutor replied, "Of course it is the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China promulgated by the state."

"Okay! Since it's the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, let me ask you, which chapter and article is the basis for the verdict on illegal possession of a gun?"

This question left the prosecutor speechless.

After much discussion and debate, the judge finally found Zhang Xiuhua not guilty and released her in court.
