fierce lawyer

Since then, Liu Shicheng has been preparing for the case.

Go home and watch Journey to the West every night.

Liu Shicheng likes Journey to the West.Basically, whenever the TV is turned on, as long as a TV station is broadcasting Journey to the West, Liu Shicheng will always stop pressing the buttons and watch quietly.

As for the daytime, they are all busy with Ji Meng's affairs.

Let's talk about the dismissal later, the first battle that needs to be fought right now.

The other party didn't even think about increasing alimony.

If you fail at the beginning, how can you play in the future?

As for the specific strategy, Liu Shicheng did not ask Ji Meng for his opinion too much.

……

—— On the day of the official hearing, Liu Shicheng arrived at the People's Court early.

This matter about alimony is the same as the matter of being fired, and a discerning person can see the inextricable connection between them at a glance, but from a legal point of view, it is still two completely separate cases.

Of course, Ji Qin also appeared at the scene.

Ji Qin's face was sallow, his eye circles were black, and he kept pressing his lips tightly.This person has a bad temper, and his relaxed expression can never be seen. It seems that he is never in a good mood.No matter who the other party is, as long as there is a slight mistake, Ji Qin will scold his head and cover his face, and everyone in the company is silent in front of him.

Because he was the defendant in the dismissal case, Liu Shicheng naturally looked at him a few more times.

Ji Qin felt Liu Shicheng's gaze, turned around, stared at Liu Shicheng for more than ten seconds, his eyes were extremely cold, blade-like, apparently regarded Liu Shicheng as a poor ant who wanted to fight against him, and finally turned his head contemptuously Go, stride to a spectator position.

Then after a while, Jimeng's mother came in through the door.

——It's a woman who looks a bit weak, always looks at Ji Qin from time to time, and seems to have no assertiveness in every move.Thinking about it, if it is really a powerful character, it will not be so miserable after giving birth to the second son of the Ji family, and it will not even require an outsider to help point out such a trivial matter as getting some living expenses from the son.

……

——The lawyer that Ji Qin found for Ji Meng's mother was a bit ordinary, so it can only be said that it was not bad.

At the moment, he is making a statement to the judge: "Article No. 20 of the Marriage Law stipulates that 'children have the obligation to support and support their parents. Children's right to pay alimony.' This provision clarifies that children should fulfill their parental support obligations. According to this provision, the two conditions for parents to require their children to pay alimony are old age, infirmity, inability to work, or life difficulties. In this case, Li Jie is over [-] years old and is not in good health. In addition to purchasing medicines and health care products, the monthly alimony needs to hire someone to take care of him. Now, with the increase in the number of medicines and health care products, the monthly alimony The pension is no longer sufficient to support the family, so the request for an increase in alimony is fully in line with the law...”

After a few rounds, it was Liu Shicheng's turn to ask Ji Meng's mother a question.

"Excuse me..." Liu Shicheng said, "Are you still paying the rent on time every month?"

"No," Jimeng's mother replied, "I can't pay it. I really don't have any spare money... The landlord came to urge me several times... I just told him to wait a little longer... wait for my son to send me After some money comes, I will definitely be able to make up for it..."

"So..." Liu Shicheng asked again: "The same problem exists in the payment of property fees, heating fees, telephone bills, etc.?"

"Yes..." The other party kept his head down, not looking at Liu Shicheng: "I owe it too, I can't get it out anyway."

"Have you been taking the medicines prescribed by your doctor?"

"I haven't taken it this month..." Jimeng's mother said, "That medicine...it's quite expensive...I bought some cheap ones, and I'll top it up for now..."

Liu Shicheng asked again: "Did you sell two pieces of jewelry a few days ago?"

"Yes..." The other party replied: "It was given to me by Ji Meng's father when I was young... It is very commemorative. I have always been reluctant to exchange it for money, and it is really worthless. It can only solve the urgent need... But right now there is really no other way...it's been very difficult lately..."

This must be what Ji Qin or the lawyer told her to do. The purpose was to show the judge the difficulty of her current life, and use this as a reason to justify the request for an increase in alimony, and to add insult to injury to Ji Meng, who no longer has any source of income.

On the surface, it is indeed a good strategy.

Sure enough, just as Liu Shicheng thought, the other party's lawyer was confident and said slowly: "If this is the case, then it is indeed necessary to increase the alimony that Ji Meng needs to pay to ensure Li Jie's life needs. With Li As Jie’s age increases, her daily expenses and medical expenses also increase accordingly. In addition, in recent years, prices have risen sharply, costs have continued to increase, and needs have changed. According to regulations, when encountering emergencies such as illness, or If the actual need exceeds the original amount, it can be..."

After speaking, he looked at Liu Shicheng provocatively.

At this point, Liu Shicheng finally started to attack.

"In fact," Liu Shicheng said, "Ji Meng's monthly alimony payment to Li Jie is four times that of ordinary retired employees. Li Jie's physical condition only requires some conventional medicines, and does not involve particularly expensive medical treatment." means, the current alimony should be enough for her to live comfortably."

After a pause, Liu Shicheng continued: "However, Li Jie can't even guarantee the most basic things like rent, bills, etc., which is really puzzling."

For a moment no one spoke.

Everyone wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Liu Shicheng's gourd.

"Later," Liu Shicheng continued, "I learned from my neighbors that Li Jie regularly participated in some gambling activities."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

Not even the opposing lawyers seem to know this.

"On the first floor is a family surnamed Chen." Liu Shicheng said, opening the envelope in his hand: "I have some text messages from poker players to Li Jie, and two witnesses will appear in court later."

"..."

Liu Shicheng continued: "Li Jie couldn't pay the rent, property fees, heating bills, telephone bills, etc., and stopped taking the medicines recommended by the doctor, but spent the alimony on gambling. Does this mean that Li Jie doesn't care about her own life at all? Live, and don't care about your own health at all?"

"..."

"Therefore," said Liu Shicheng, "the most urgent task now is to get Li Jie to stop this bad habit, to ensure that the alimony paid by my client is actually used to ensure his life, and not become a tool to deepen his gambling addiction. "

Liu Shicheng then asked some more questions.

"Excuse me..." Liu Shicheng said, "Do you know that your son has no income?"

"I know." Jimeng's mother was a little listless.

"Who told you that?"

"Ji Qin."

"Why did Ji Qin tell you this?"

"..."

"You have a good relationship?"

"No." Jimeng's mother said, "We have no relationship."

"Can it be said that Ji Qin's initiative to contact you this time is very rare?"

……

Although these have little to do with this case, they are what Liu Shicheng must ask—because the answer is very important for the next highlight, which is the dismissal case, because he can show Ji Qin's hostile attitude towards Ji Meng.

Liu Shicheng's last question is: "Why do you still ask for an increase in alimony for gambling when you know that Ji Meng has no income?"

Ji Meng's mother didn't answer.

After a while, the eye circles gradually turned red.

After a few seconds, the suppressed sobbing could be heard by many people.

……

There is no suspense about the outcome of the subsequent lawsuit.

——Finally, after coming out of the court, Ji Meng walked up to Liu Shicheng.

Liu Shicheng was completely different from just now, his lips were tightly pressed together, and he didn't say a word.

"It's so wonderful." Ji Meng said with a smile on his face, "It changed my opinion of you a lot."

Liu Shicheng held the briefcase, looked down at the floor, ignored the people behind him, and walked away step by step.

"Thank you for today."

Liu Shicheng paused slightly, and finally said a nonsense that surprised even himself: "I will visit your mother more in the future."

"... Oh?" ​​Ji Meng raised his eyebrows.

"She...will only gamble if she has nothing to do."

After speaking, Liu Shicheng continued to walk towards the door.

There was a somewhat obnoxious laugh in my ear.
