Lawyer's character

"Okay, I won't settle old scores with you. You have done a lot of things in the past...

Erdan's wife came to our house at noon today. I don't know how she knew that you were a lawyer in a law firm. She told me that she wanted to consult you about legal issues, so she took your phone away. She didn't call you? "My mother asked.

"No, did something happen to her family?" Zhou Ying asked.

"Yes, in order to get more demolition money, his family hired someone to build a house. I don't know how they did it. Later, the house collapsed. It is said that people were killed and Erdan was arrested by the police. I guess that's why I came to you. "My mother said.

"Oh, if that's the case, it's really possible. Mom, our family needs to be careful. If we want to build a house, we need to find an engineering team. Don't do it ourselves. If it doesn't work, don't do it." Zhou Ying advised.

"Your dad wants to do it, but he can't find anyone, let alone the engineering team. Even the masons are nowhere to be found. Nowadays, houses are being built everywhere, and the engineering team has been booked for half a year.

I asked your dad to make plans and hire people early on, but your dad refused to listen. What happened? Overnight, several nearby villages were building houses, and the cement was sold out. Where can I find people?

I told your dad that if it doesn’t work, go find your uncles and we can build it ourselves. Even if it’s just a shed, it’s better than a big open space..." Mother kept complaining.

"Mom, Mom, I have a strange phone call coming in. It may be from Erdan's wife. I won't tell you. I'll call you later." After finishing speaking, Zhou Ying hung up the phone and answered the new call. .

"Hello? Is this Zhou Ying?" A woman's voice came from the phone.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Ying, who are you?" Zhou Ying asked.

"I'm Deng Qingxia. I live in the same village as you. I belong to Zhou Zhixue, the head of the village. I asked your mother for your phone number. Do you still remember me? When you were a child, you liked to eat the popsicles sold by my family Zhixue." Talking nonchalantly.

"Aunt, I know you. What's the matter with you?" Zhou Ying had a headache when she heard about eating popsicles as a child. Was she so worthless as a child? Rolling around for a popsicle?

"Something happened to your Uncle Zhou in my family. Will you be at the law firm tomorrow? I want to go over and consult with you tomorrow." Deng Qingxia asked.

"Here, come on, I'll send you the address later." After saying that, Zhou Ying chatted with the other party for a few more words, hung up the phone, and sent the other party a message.

After putting away the phone, Zhou Ying was a little excited and looked at the noodles in the bowl: "This has already been demolished. How can we eat noodles? If not, I have to go downstairs to buy some ham sausage and pork head to improve the food."

Early the next morning, as soon as Meng Guangda arrived at the law firm, the chairs were not even warm, so Zhou Ying came over.

"Brother Da, I need a favor from you." Zhou Ying said with a smile.

"Tell me, except for borrowing money, everything else is fine." Meng Guangda said seriously.

After Meng Guangda got acquainted with everyone, his speech was not as restrained as before, and he would use a bit of dry humor from time to time.

"Brother Da, this is your fault. As a person whose monthly income is less than 100,000 yuan, how can you have the nerve to ask me to borrow money from you?" Zhou Ying said disapprovingly.

"Less than 100,000? That's right. An income of 3,000 is less than 100,000. There is nothing wrong with that." Meng Guangda was stunned for a moment and said.

"Hey! Okay. But then again, if I really borrow money from you, you really won't give it back?" Zhou Ying asked with wide eyes.

"I'll definitely give it, but it depends on how much you borrow." Meng Guangda took out his wallet from his bag, dug it out for a long time, and threw a handful of crumpled bills on the table, which was roughly more than two hundred yuan.

"That's it. This is the upper limit of the money you can borrow from me. You can take it all, but you have to take care of my lunch for the remaining half month." Meng Guangda spread his hands and looked at Zhou Ying.

"I'll go! Brother Da, how are you doing with your life now that you're already at work?" Zhou Ying looked at him in disbelief.

"It's so troublesome to pay the public salary every month. My salary card is never in my hands. It's been controlled from the source. My monthly food expenses are fixed. I don't have as much money as you.

Why don't you lend me some and I'll return it to you when I have extra income. "Meng Guangda said pitifully.

"No, I didn't even open my mouth to borrow money, but you blocked me. Forget it, let's not mention it.

Today, a client came over from my hometown village and wanted to consult on legal issues. If you have time, would you like to meet me? "Zhou Ying said: "They are all from the countryside..."

Zhou Ying felt a little tangled in her heart. When Meng Guangda and Du Yong were talking about the case of an acquaintance, she also heard it. It would be better to say that the case was completed. If it did not meet expectations, there would be some rumors in the same village. ,not too good.

Meng Guangda knew what she meant as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "No problem. I will take charge of the negotiation, and we will split the commission on this case 50/50."

"Don't! If the case is entrusted, all the commission will be given to you, and I will not participate. To avoid causing trouble in the future." Zhou Ying said.

"Okay, but I will definitely give you the introduction fee, which is not much, 20%." Meng Guangda replied.

"How about this? If you take care of my lunch for half a month, the introduction fee will be waived." Zhou Ying chuckled.

"No, don't set a trap for me. I'd better give you money. I feel at ease when I give you money. At least I have an accurate number. If you have three people and one pig every day, I can't stand it." Meng Guangda said with a smile.

"Brother Da, you are such a thief." Zhou Ying said with a smile.

At half past ten, a woman in her forties or fifties walked in from the door of the law firm. She was dressed in ordinary clothes, with a big belly, big hips, a round face, short stature, and her skin was rough and dark. She was Deng Qingxia.

Deng Qingxia was sitting in the conference room, thinking to herself: This daughter of the old Zhou family is quite capable! Working in such a big law firm, how much money can you make in a month? If my son could work in this place...she would be filled with envy.

Just when she was thinking a lot, Zhou Ying and Meng Guangda walked in.

"Aunt, this is my colleague, Lawyer Meng. Lawyer Meng is more experienced than me. He happens to not be in court today, so I invited him here. Lawyer Meng, this is my aunt. She has some legal issues to consult." Zhou Ying Smiled.

They are both from the same village. Although Zhou Ying has been working in the city in recent years and has rarely returned home, she and Deng Qingxia have always met in the village before, and they know each other even if they don't talk often.

"Xiaoying, thank you. This matter about your uncle... ugh." Deng Qingxia was a little hard to explain.

"Ms. Deng, are you here to consult about your husband?" Meng Guangda didn't know what legal issue the woman opposite wanted to consult, but from her words, it seemed that something had happened to her husband.

"I won't be polite to you anymore. My wife was arrested by the police before." Deng Qingxia looked embarrassed.

"Why?" Meng Guangda asked.
