defamation?
Feng Xiaoqin was stunned.
"Comrade police, are you making a mistake?"
"Zhang Ting, 68 years old, lives in Room 201, Unit 3, Building 23, Wanziyuan Community, right?"
Mrs. Zhang was very honest: "Yes, it's my home."
"That's right. In three days, please go to the District People's Court and Civil Trial Division 3 to attend the trial." Seeing that the old woman refused to answer, the bailiff simply handed the summons to Feng Xiaoqin, and asked her to sign as an agent, and took the delivery receipt. gone.
"Comrade police, can you tell us who initiated the lawsuit?"
After Feng Xiaoqin finished asking, the bailiff paused for a moment, looked back at the old woman, and replied patiently: "The plaintiff's surname is Gu."
The plaintiff’s surname is Gu?
Gu Lei?
Apart from this person, she really couldn't think of anyone who would be idle and sue an old lady.
Mrs. Zhang looked angry and said in a low voice: "I have already forgiven him, but he actually wants to sue me? This ungrateful little brat, how could Gu Shihong raise such a son?"
She had a loud, high-pitched voice, and when she shouted these words, all the adults and aunties who were dancing in the square around the fountain stopped and looked over.
"Grandma Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
Someone looked at the bailiff's back and asked with a worried look on his face.
"Gu Shihong's second son sued me. Let's comment. Last time at the police station, my old man asked him to apologize and not pursue the case for the sake of his relationship with his father. Now he...he Bite me back."
Mrs. Zhang was very angry. When she talked about the second son of the Gu family, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and sprayed foam from her mouth.
The people around looked at each other in confusion, wondering why this matter is not over yet. The second son of the Gu family is really strong and will not suffer any losses.
Feng Xiaoqin comforted him: "Grandma Zhang, don't worry, I'll go home now and ask him what's going on."
"Why are you asking? My old lady is so old and I'm afraid he won't sue me."
Mrs. Zhang said this, but her excitement, trembling hands, and trembling face all proved that her state was not as relaxed as mentioned above.
Feng Xiaoqin didn't dare to neglect, and quickly took her bag and walked home.
Twenty minutes later.
The Gu family's living room.
"Why are you doing this? Grandma Zhang doesn't hold you accountable anymore, why are you still holding on?"
Feng Xiaoqin looked at Lin Yue angrily.
"Did she always tell everyone that since I apologized, she would forgive me this time, or she would have to put me in jail for two days?" Lin Yue said, "Didn't Zhang Dingguo tell you? , it’s my dad who apologized, I never bowed my head on this matter?”
"Dad apologized to him just to settle the matter."
"Haha, dad is dad and I am me. He spreads rumors about me in the community, beats me up, and then asks the Gu family to apologize to them? Do you think I am a person who is willing to suffer losses?"
Isn't he a person who is willing to suffer?
Feng Xiaoqin thought to herself, weren't you the one who used to say that suffering is a blessing?
Lin Yueyi pointedly said: "I would like to see if Mrs. Zhang dares to rely on her old age in court. Tell me... She is so old that she is buried up to her neck in loess. Why would she spread gossip about our family? What? Is there someone behind this?"
Feng Xiaoqin was flustered when she heard this. She didn't instigate this matter, but it had something to do with her. If she didn't tell Mrs. Zhang about the Gu family, Mrs. Zhang wouldn't give her any advice. If she didn't nod, she wouldn't There were no rumors that promoted him and belittled Gu Lei.
"How can dad and Zhang Dingguo be friends in the future if the matter goes to court? And you said that Mrs. Zhang is the one who spread the rumors. Do you have any evidence?"
Lin Yue just laughed and didn't explain.
Feng Xiaoqin said: "You accuse Granny Zhang of defamation without evidence. What if they counter-sue you in court for false accusation? Listen to me and withdraw the lawsuit immediately."
At this moment, there was a sound of opening the door outside. Gu Shihong walked into the living room carrying a basket of vegetables. He saw the two of them standing by the balcony. He lowered his head to change his shoes and said, "I heard that Zhang was walking downstairs. Grandma has been sued, and this old lady has been in a lot of trouble lately."
Feng Xiaoqin said: "Dad, the person who sued Grandma Zhang is Gu Lei."
"What?" The old man's hands trembled and he almost dropped the vegetable basket. He frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you not to provoke her? With her body, what if there is something wrong with her?"
He really didn't expect that as soon as the incident happened over there, his son would turn around and send Mrs. Zhang to court. This move would be even bigger than going to the police station.
"Just die, take it to the crematorium and burn it, give the workers a big shovel and bricks to crush it and flatten it, put it in a small wooden box and bury it in the ground, it's that simple."
"I mean you."
The old man was furious.
"Whether she dies or not, it's none of my business, could she turn into a ghost and come to settle accounts with me?"
"You...you...why are you so stupid?"
"Yes, Dad, look at what he said. For someone as old as Grandma Zhang, what does death mean?" Feng Xiaoqin said with added jealousy.
"The earlier she died, there would be one less scourge in the world. When we were at the police station, she was clearly the one who tricked me because she couldn't hit me. Why should I ask Dad to apologize? Do you think the Gu family is easy to bully?" Lin Yue smiled coldly. : "Feng Xiaoqin, does the rumor spread by Mrs. Zhang have something to do with you? You are afraid that the old lady will go to court and the judge will scare you away, so you have been putting in good words for her."
Feng Xiaoqin's heart trembled. Yes, she was worried about this.
If people in the community knew that she and Mrs. Zhang planned the rumored incident together, wouldn't the good reputation she had gained earlier be ruined? Not only that, but she would also be labeled as a scheming bitch by the residents of the community, and those old ladies might point their fingers at her and scold her for their virtue.
In fact, she doesn't care what others say about her. The key is that if she conflicts with the Gu family again, no one will speak for her and put pressure on Gu Shihong.
"Dad, I know you are dissatisfied, but no matter what, there is no need to go to court, right?" Gu Shihong was still very moved when he heard that Lin Yue took Mrs. Zhang to court because he was not worth it and couldn't hold his breath. Zhang Dingguo said she is not smart, so don’t argue with her."
"No." Lin Yue said in a cold voice, "I'm going to make the matter bigger and ask her to apologize to me in public. Let those who talk about our family's affairs behind our back see it. Be careful when talking in the future."
When Gu Shihong saw that he was determined to mess with Grandma Zhang, he knew that no matter how hard he tried to persuade her, he could only shake his head and call Gu Qingyu with his cell phone.
Feng Xiaoqin said bitterly: "Just do it."
She picked up the handbag on the shoe cabinet and walked out of the house with a cold face.
Logically speaking, it was time to pick up the child, but Lin Yue knew that her main purpose was not to pick up the little tiger, but to see Mrs. Zhang.
Now that things are like this, she must communicate with the old guy. Don't be asked by the lawyer and be surprised by the judge's little hammer and sell her out.
That night, after Feng Xiaoqin took a shower, she put on what she thought was the most beautiful underwear, sprayed on some perfume to cheer her up, and hung it on the bedside.
Honey trap?
Lin Yue thought this was quite ridiculous. If it had been Gu Lei, he might have just put up a flagpole and surrendered. After all, doing this before was part of Feng Xiaoqin's reward for her obedient husband. It's a pity that he is not Gu Lei and has little interest in a 38-year-old woman. , of course, if Feng Xiaoqin can do some fancy work, he will consider putting oil on the floor of the little broken car and doing violence detection or something.
Feng Xiaoqin worked for a long time, but there was no movement there. It was time to read and read, and it was time to go to the toilet. After struggling to no avail, she fell asleep on her side in anger.
She couldn't figure it out, she really couldn't figure it out.
Who is Gu Lei? One time I sprained my foot while walking, and the ankle was so swollen that it became a problem for me to go to work. I still begged her to have sex. What's going on now? I haven't touched her for more than a month now.
Of course, she was still puzzled. What she was most unhappy about was that the honey trap failed and she could not induce him to withdraw the case.
But this trick is just one of the three insurances, so it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work.
Gu Lei sued Mrs. Zhang for slandering him. Please provide evidence.
For this kind of thing, the most important thing is the witness. Residents in the community can't see each other without looking up. Who is willing to wade into this muddy water?
…
Three days later, the MH District People's Court, Civil Trial Division 3.
There were many people sitting in the audience, many of whom were residents of Wanziyuan Community. Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Dingguo were also considered old people in the community. The former had been dancing in the square downstairs for several years, and the latter was a former employee of the street office. I know a lot of people. Now that Mrs. Zhang is being sued for defamation, it was the second son of the Gu family in the same neighborhood who did it. Of course, everyone is looking forward to this.
According to Zhang Dingguo, he originally wanted to use the fact that his wife was ill as an excuse not to attend the court hearing, but the old lady couldn't stand it and insisted on coming, saying that she was in good health. Everyone knew that she danced in the square downstairs every day. The key was If you always use illness as an excuse not to attend the trial, doesn't it mean that you are in the wrong?
Zhang Dingguo couldn't defeat her, so he could only follow her wishes.
This lawsuit does not involve money... It is not accurate to say that, because in addition to asking Mrs. Zhang to apologize in public and admit her mistakes, Lin Yue also demanded one yuan from the Zhang family.
Both sides did not hire lawyers. The judge was not very interested in this kind of frivolous lawsuit in the West. After mechanically reading out the court discipline, the plaintiff and the defendant were allowed to answer their own questions.
Mrs. Zhang may have done her homework, or it may be that her wife's company made her feel safe. She didn't have stage fright when she sat in the dock of the court for the first time. She pointed at Lin Yue and said: "Gu Laoer, you said that I slandered you." , do you have evidence?"
This is indeed a problem.
Feng Xiaoqin looked at the empty seat next to her. It was Gu Shihong's seat, but the old man felt embarrassed and didn't come.
Huh……
When she looked back, she suddenly saw an unexpected face.
Gu Xin?
He actually came to attend the trial.
Is it because he is the protagonist of one of the two rumors widely circulated in Wanziyuan Community?
"Of course."
When she was thinking about this question, Lin Yue's answer woke her up, and she quickly moved her eyes to the court hearing area.
It could be seen that Mrs. Zhang was a little nervous. She blinked quickly and said in a high voice: "Then bring out the evidence."
"Before presenting the evidence, I want to confirm it again in court. Do you continue to insist that you did not slander me in front of others?"
Mrs. Zhang slapped her back and said, "You are the one who is falsely accusing me."
She also chose the people she told lies about, and they were all acquaintances. How could they betray her if they were acquaintances.
Feng Xiaoqin thought so too, so he felt confident. As long as Mrs. Zhang didn't show her cowardice, the lawsuit would definitely be settled in the end.
Lin Yue looked at the judge: "Presiding judge, I request the witnesses to appear in court to testify."
After receiving the signal, the bailiff opened the door to the lounge, and a man wearing a floral shirt, with small eyes and a long face, and more wrinkles than tree bark walked into the courtroom.
Wow...
The audience was in an uproar because this man was none other than Shi Zhiwei, the boss of Xianyunge.
Is he the witness that Gu Lei wants to call out?
Feng Xiaoqin stood up directly, winked at the old acquaintance walking to the witness stand, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here? What do you want to do?"
Shi Zhiwei turned a blind eye, sat down at the witness stand, read the witness's oath against the documents in front of him, and then began his story.
"About a week ago, the weather was nice and sunny. I had nothing to do in the afternoon, so I made an appointment with a friend to have tea at the Guanyun Tea House in the south of Wanziyuan Community. When I passed by the fountain square opposite the entrance of the community, I saw Zhang Grandma was sitting on a bench to rest, so I went over and said hello. She asked me to talk to her for a while. I saw that it was still early, so I sat down next to her out of respect for the elderly and care for the young. She held on to me. My friend asked me how Feng Xiaoqin was, and I said yes. She then asked me if I regretted not marrying her. I said that a man should put his career first and not think about starting a family until he has established a career. She praised me. Ambitious, and then the conversation changed and she talked about Feng Xiaoqin’s husband Gu Lei. She told me that Gu Lei bought a BMW for the purpose of transporting his cousin Gu Xin’s girlfriend to and from get off work, that is, to have an extramarital affair. After Gu Xin found out about the matter, they had a big fight in front of the whole family. She told me not to follow the example of a scumbag like Gu Lei, who even had a wife and children and still wanted to do it, and even reached out to his cousin's daughter. My friend, it is so shameless and immoral to cause others to part ways. Finally, I said that Feng Xiaoqin was pitiful and unfortunate, and asked me to enlighten her more."
Wow...
The citizens in the audience whispered to each other and didn't understand Shi Zhiwei's motives. Mrs. Zhang was kind-hearted, and she kept praising him and belittling Gu Lei. Why did this guy wear the same pants as Gu Lei when he got to the court? Who among the chatty people in Wanziyuan Community doesn't know that he is interested in Feng Xiaoqin?
"Quiet, quiet..."
Da~da~da.
The presiding judge knocked his gavel three times before the people in the audience stopped talking.
"Defendant, do you have anything to say?"
Mrs. Zhang had no education and had never encountered any big storms in her life. She had lived with Zhang Dingguo for decades. When she saw Shi Zhiwei betraying her regardless of the friendship between the neighbors, she grabbed the mineral water bottle on the table and threw it into the witness stand.
The bailiffs who were maintaining order hurried over and separated the two of them with their bodies. They did not dare to be rough with the old woman, but at the same time they had to ensure that she did not cause trouble. Anyway, her movements and expressions were very awkward, so they had to build a personal wall to trap her. It's inside.
Shi Zhiwei ducked and dodged the mineral water bottle. He was so frightened that he left the table and ran to the door. He pointed at Mrs. Zhang and said loudly: "You are just lying when you are telling lies. Why did you include me? This matter has nothing to do with me." what relationship."
Now everyone understood that Shi Zhiwei suspected that Mrs. Zhang had included him in the rumors, but then again, wasn't Boss Shi in the rumors a positive model and a glorious image? Waiting for Feng Xiaoqin for seven or eight years will help improve his reputation in the community, and Xianyunge will also gain a few more customers who become fans from passers-by. Why would he ruin this persona?
Da~da~da~
Da~da~da~
Da~da~da~
This time the presiding judge knocked the gavel three times, counting nine times, and asked the bailiff to open the door and let Shi Zhiwei out. Only then did the old lady Zhang feel better.
Feng Xiaoqin winked at Zhang Dingguo, who was sitting with Mrs. Zhang at the plaintiff's table. The old man stood up and handed a document to the clerk.
"Presiding Judge, I have new materials to submit."
The clerk handed the thing to the presiding judge sitting in the middle of the rostrum.
The three judges got together to discuss it and asked the clerk to bring it to Lin Yue.
Seeing the contents on the A4 paper, he burst into laughter. Sure enough, this was Zhang Dingguo and Feng Xiaoqin's ultimate move.
Everyone knows that it is not illegal for a psychopath to kill someone. If Mrs. Zhang has a mental abnormality diagnosis report issued by the chief physician of a tertiary hospital, then this case will not be convicted at the end of the trial. At most, her guardian will bear some civil liability.
People in the audience were whispering to each other again, wondering what Zhang Dingguo handed the judge.
Feng Xiaoqin naturally knew what was written in the document. This was her idea for Zhang Dingguo, asking the old man to find Zhang Ting's attending physician to give a diagnostic report. In this way, no matter how Gu Lei sued, there was no possibility of winning the lawsuit.
So all the hard work was in vain. At this point, she felt that Gu Lei was really pitiful.
At this moment, Lin Yue suddenly stood up, looked at the rostrum and said: "Presiding judge, the adjective 'good and bad' was used in the diagnostic report issued by the doctor to Zhang Ting's family. If I can prove that she is What about those who committed slander while they were sane?”
Feng Xiaoqin and Zhang Dingguo looked stunned. So many days had passed, how could he prove it? Unless a third party is present and willing to appear in court for confrontation.
