Chapter 704 Witnesses Appear One After Another
Jiang Mei immediately retorted, "You're really good at talking nonsense. When did I ever buy abortion pills from you?"
Grandma Liu calmly picked up a slightly yellowed notebook, turned to a page, and said to the judge, "To prevent disputes with patients, I keep a record of every medicine I sell. This is the record of Jiang Mei selling medicine to me; the date and what medicine she bought are all clearly remembered."
The evidence was submitted, and after reviewing it, the judge consulted with those around him and approved it.
Because this notebook and notes look quite old, and the purpose of this notebook is indeed to record these things.
The date, who bought it, and what kind of medicine it was all recorded in great detail.
Jiang Mei's face was a little pale.
Wang Zhong, who was standing next to her, looked at her with a complicated expression.
At this point, Attorney Nie called for the second witness.
Another middle-aged woman came out of the lounge; she was also a villager from that village.
Jiang Mei was surprised. "Sister Li, what brings you here?"
Aunt Li didn't dare to look at her, her eyes darting away.
She had a decent relationship with Jiang Mei, so she did know some things.
But that wasn't her business, so she didn't really want to come.
But that young man was sincere; he appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her, and even helped her with her work…
Her chicken coop collapsed, and several young comrades helped her build a new one without saying a word.
He spoke at length about national and familial righteousness, which moved her deeply.
Thinking about that kid Wang Jianjun, he really is pitiful.
She lost her mother at a young age and grew up with her grandmother, enduring countless hardships before finally venturing out into the world.
As a result, he didn't enjoy a single day of happiness, but those who bullied him benefited greatly from the glory of his death.
Good people shouldn't end up like this.
Even bad people shouldn't enjoy so much.
So here she is.
“I live next door to the Wang family, sharing a wall. The houses in my hometown aren’t soundproof, so I know a lot about their family.”
Aunt Li slowly recounted the stories she knew.
“Wang Jianjun is a pitiful child. He lost his mother when he was young and lived with his grandmother. After his grandmother passed away, his father and stepmother stopped him from going to school. In order to have money to study, he went out to work for two years and earned tuition and living expenses before he could continue his studies... The year he was admitted to university, his father and stepmother hid his admission notice or something and forbade him to go to university. They took this thick hemp rope.”
Aunt Li's gestures were a bit exaggerated.
"This thick hemp rope, the kind we use to tie pigs in the countryside, was used to tie him up and prevent him from going out. Luckily, he ran away..."
She briefly recounted Wang Jianguo's life, and her words largely matched what was written in Wang Jianjun's medical records.
Then Attorney Nie changed witness number three, and witness number four came on stage.
They were all villagers.
The villagers testified, and their accounts were basically the same as those of Aunt Li.
This indicates that the contents of the medical record are the authentic version.
Wang Zhong said he had never abused his son.
Jiang Mei's claims of treating all the children equally and of raising him with great difficulty are all lies.
She did not live with her stepson, did not raise him, and there was no foster relationship between them. The evidence is basically conclusive.
Let's get Fang Qing on our side first, then we'll talk about this later.
Attorney Nie looked at Fang Qing and the others and noticed that they were already pale and about to collapse.
His gaze was indifferent as he continued, "Bring in witness number five."
Is there a fifth witness?
How many witnesses did they actually bring in?
When witness number five appeared, Wang Jianguo couldn't hold back anymore.
"Wife, wife, what brings you here?"
Tang Xiaofen didn't even look at him and walked straight to the witness stand.
First, sign a "Truthful Testimony Guarantee" according to the procedure, indicating that everything you say is true.
Only then did he begin to recount the truth as he knew it.
She made it clear that she discovered Wang Jianguo's affair with Fang Qing not long after she got married.
Of course, in order to pin Wang Jianguo on the charge of seriously disrupting military marriages, Fang Qing had to be portrayed as innocent while Wang Jianguo was condemned as a rapist.
She said that Wang Jianguo always waited until she fell asleep before going to Fang Qing's room next door.
The next day, Fang Qing was always seen with injuries.
In fact, Wang Jianguo is a pervert who loves to create scars.
Of course, she didn't say that.
“I was shocked when I first found out. I questioned him about why he did that, and he beat me up without saying a word. He threatened me not to tell anyone or he would kill me. He wasn’t afraid I would run away because he knew my family couldn’t afford the dowry, nor could they afford to pay it. I had nowhere to go. To survive, I had no choice but to swallow my anger. Over the years, I’ve been trying to save money and find a way to leave the Wang family.”
Fang Qing was somewhat moved. She had always thought that Tang Xiaofen hated her, but she never expected that, in Tang Xiaofen's description, she was a victim just like her.
Wang Jianguo was dumbfounded.
He never expected that Tang Xiaofen, who usually only worked and didn't talk much, would be so hostile towards him.
It turns out that it wasn't surrender, but rather a temporary compromise made out of helplessness.
She had no desire to live with him; she was constantly looking for a chance to escape.
Jiang Mei was so angry that her lips trembled, and she started cursing at Tang Xiaofen.
They called her a traitor and accused her of being ungrateful.
"I've never seen anyone sympathize with an outsider and speak ill of their own man. I've certainly learned something new today. A traitor to one's own family, that's exactly what you're like. Pah..."
"Hmph, you say we treated you badly? Think about the days you spent at your parents' home, you couldn't even get enough to eat, you were so hungry you had to eat tree bark. Tell me, have I wronged you?"
She wasn't wrong; those two years were indeed very difficult. It wasn't just her family; everyone was so hungry they had to eat tree bark.
It's true that she didn't have a good life at her parents' home either, and she didn't deny it.
"Let me ask you again, when you came to our house, were you ever hungry? Were you ever hungry?"
They've never been hungry, but they can't expect to eat well either.
But this is not their achievement; it is a product of the times.
In those years, everyone went hungry.
Life has improved in recent years, and no one goes hungry anymore.
However, she was too lazy to argue with them about these things; it was pointless.
In their eyes, they are always right; no matter how much others do, they are lazy; no matter how well others do, they are wrong.
"Wang Jianguo and Jiang Mei have always known that Wang Chenchen is Wang Jianguo's son..."
She then recounted Fang Qing's return home two years ago, although she only stayed there for one night.
On the same day they learned that Fang Qing was going to take Wang Chenchen back, they started preparing food and drinks, and Jiang Mei made it clear that Wang Chenchen was her eldest grandson.
But Jiang Mei denied it, saying it was because she treated Wang Jianjun as her own son.
This contradicts what the villagers said; everyone in the village has witnessed how badly she treated Wang Jianjun.
Wang Jianguo stared at Tang Xiaofen with bloodshot eyes. He couldn't utter a single word after being betrayed by his wife.
Before Tang Xiaofen went downstairs, she only said one sentence to Wang Jianguo.
"I will get a divorce. Domestic violence, infidelity... I have evidence and witnesses. You can wait for the next lawsuit."
