After Mao Dachun's explanation, Mo Yan finally understood what had happened.
It turned out that Mao Dachun and his father, Mao Wenguo, both worked at a construction site in Jiang City. Mao Dachun was a steel worker, while Mao Wenguo was a bricklayer.
Recently, there was a batch of projects on the construction site, and the schedule was especially tight.
On the day of the accident, Mao Wenguo's newly built wall had not yet completely dried up. The foreman asked them to work against the rules, which led to the cause of the accident.
After the incident, everyone rushed Mao Wenguo to the hospital.
After the doctor's examination, the accident had caused a shattered fracture of Mao Wenguo's right knee, which had reached the level of a second-degree disability.
In other words, there was a high chance that Mao Wenguo would not be able to walk normally in this lifetime.
The person in charge of the construction site only showed up at the hospital once and paid 2,000 yuan for the medical expenses. After that, he did not care about Mao Wenguo anymore.
Mao Dachun had asked for his father's medical fees many times, but he was always chased back by the foreman.
This time, they were even more overboard. They actually found a few people from society to threaten Mao Dachun.
Mao Dachun was a rough person and didn't understand many principles. Seeing the other party make a move, he naturally didn't hesitate.
Fortunately, he had a strong body. When he was young, he had learned some basic moves from his second uncle, who had stayed in Shaolin Temple, so he did not suffer much.
However, the other party had many people and was powerful, so it was inevitable that they suffered a few kicks.
After listening, Mo Yan said to Mao Dachun,""Dachun, since the other party is unwilling to compensate us for this matter, let's file a lawsuit.”
"Don't worry, I'll be your lawyer for free.”
"I can definitely get justice for uncle and make the other party take out a large sum of money as compensation.”
The other party had violated the rules first, and it had caused serious consequences.
This case wasn't difficult. As long as he gathered enough evidence, Mo Yan was confident that he could win the case.
"Really? Thank you so much, Ah He.”"You're a lawyer, so I know that you have to pay for a lawyer to file a lawsuit," Mao Dachun said happily.”
"Don't worry. As long as we win the lawsuit, I'll definitely pay your lawyer's fees.”
"Why are you being so polite with me?" Mo Yan stood up and patted Mao Dachun's shoulder.""Let's go to the hospital to see Uncle Mao first.”
"Alright then."
After that, Mo Yan informed his subordinates and left Quan Jing Law Firm with Mao Dachun.
Originally, there was an unwritten rule at Lawyer Quan Jing.
Newbies were not allowed to take on cases alone. Firstly, they were afraid that they did not have experience and would lose the case.
Secondly, it was for the benefit of the old employees.
However, Mo Yan was now the director of the newcomer department, and he was also considered a high-level executive of the law firm. Naturally, he was not bound by these restrictions.
Mo Yan bought some fruits from a fruit stall near the hospital. Then, under Mao Dachun's guidance, he went to Mao Wenguo's ward.
"Uncle Mao, I'm here to see you.”Mo Yan smiled and put the fruit on the table.
Mao Wenguo's current appearance could be said to be extremely miserable. Other than his right leg being fixed in a cast on the hospital bed, there were many bruises on his face and arms, and many places were wrapped in gauze.
But when he saw Mo Yan, he still forced a smile and said,""Mo Yan is here. Quick, sit down.”
"Look at how busy you are, I even specially troubled you to come over.”
"It's no trouble." Mo Yan waved his hand." I don't need to talk about my relationship with Dachun. Besides, I ate at your house a lot when I was young. It's only right for me to come and see you after such a big incident."”
"The main purpose of my visit this time is to ask about the situation at that time and see what you want.”
"You also know that I'm a lawyer now. As long as I file a lawsuit, I'll definitely get justice for you.”
Originally, Mo Yan thought that Mao Wenguo would be happy to hear his words.
Who knew that Mao Wenguo suddenly became silent. After a long while, he said,"Mo Yan, forget about the lawsuit. There's no need to go through so much trouble.”
"Uncle Mao, what do you mean by that? Such a big thing has happened, and the other party is unwilling to compensate.”" I'm a law firm," Mo Yan said in confusion." I can guarantee you that we have a 90% chance of winning this case."”
"It's not that I don't believe in your ability, Uncle Mao. It's just that…" Mao Wenguo shook his head.
"You might not know this, but the project party is Hengyuan Real Estate. Their company is very big.”
"They have a professional team of lawyers. If they really make a fuss in court, the outcome will be hard to say.”
"I think we should settle this matter privately.”
After all, Mao Wenguo was very knowledgeable. He knew that those big companies had specialized legal teams, and those people were all industry elites.
No matter how solid Mo Yan's basic skills were, he was still a newbie. How could he deal with those old foxes?
He was afraid that if he lost the lawsuit and completely fell out with the other party, he would not be able to get any compensation.
"Uncle Mao, this kind of thing is not what you think. The court is a place where evidence is important. As long as we collect enough evidence, we can completely win the other party.”Mo Yan explained.
He had heard of Hengyuan Real Estate before. It was a very powerful real estate developer in Jiangcheng City. He could see their real estate buildings almost everywhere he walked on the streets of Jiangcheng City.
He could be said to be the Nan Bowan of Jiangcheng's real estate industry.
However, so what? The court was a place where evidence was important. They would not consider how strong the other party was.
Mo Yan felt that Uncle Mao's idea was a little groundless.
"Forget it, Mo Yan. I know you mean well, but it's not as simple as you think.”Mao Wenguo shook his head stubbornly.
Seeing him like this, Mo Yan was a little anxious.
It was true that he was a lawyer, but if the client did not agree to go to court, he could not possibly drag them to court.
This was the first lawsuit in his career, so why did it seem like he had not won yet?
At this moment, Mao Dachun, who had been washing fruits in the bathroom, came out with fruits.
He looked at his father and said,"Dad, listen to Mo Yan. Let's go to court."”
"You don't know how stupid those people are. I went to the construction site to look for them just now.”
"They still refused to pay, and they even found a few people to beat me. Fortunately, I'm not to be trifled with.”
When Mao Wenguo, who was originally a little depressed, heard his son's words, he immediately became angry and anxious. He hurriedly raised his head to look at Mao Dachun.
Because the movement was too large, it affected the wounds on his body, causing him to grimace in pain.
He saw the footprints on his son's back and pants. His eyes turned red as he said,"Why are they beating people up? How can they do this?”
"Dachun, are you alright?”
"What can happen to me?" Mao Dachun said with an indifferent expression,"I can take care of them with one hand.”
Although Mao Dachun said it casually, Mao Wenguo knew that his son just didn't want him to worry.
What he couldn't understand was why the other party was so aggressive when he was clearly the victim.
This was too much of a bully.
"Uncle Mao, as you can see, the other party doesn't have the attitude to resolve the matter at all. We can't just give in blindly. We have to take up the legal weapon to defend our rights.”Mo Yan advised.
Mao Wen Guo closed his eyes in pain. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said,""Okay, I'll listen to you. Mo Yan, I'll do whatever you want me to do.”
Then, Mo Yan asked Mao Wenguo about the details of the matter, and Mao Wenguo told him everything in detail.
Half an hour later, Mo Yan had almost figured out what had happened.
"Alright, Uncle Mao, I've already understood everything. Tomorrow, I'll write an agency agreement. You just have to sign it and leave everything to me.”Mo Yan smiled.
"That's really troublesome for you, Mo Yan.”"But the other party is too powerful. They even dare to hit people. You have to be more careful." Mao Wenguo warned.”
"Uncle Mao, don't worry. I know what I'm doing.”
After leaving the ward, Mo Yan asked Mao Dachun to accompany him to the construction site to see what the people there had to say.
It would be best if the other party was willing to take the initiative to compensate. This would save a lot of trouble and help Mao Wenguo get his medical fees as soon as possible.
If that didn't work, they could only file a lawsuit.
At the construction site, Mo Yan met the foreman.
The foreman's name was Ding Xiu, a fierce-looking fatty.
"Mr. Ding, I'm Mr. Mao Wenguo's lawyer. I'm here to discuss with you about the compensation for Mr. Mao Wenguo during this work-related injury.”Mo Yan said politely.
"What bullsh * t work-related injury? It was clearly that Mao Wenguo who didn't operate properly that caused his leg to be broken.”
Ding Xiu sneered and said,"The construction period was already very tight. He caused such a thing and provoked the higher-ups to investigate. It caused our construction period to be delayed for another two days."”
"It's already good enough that I didn't ask him for compensation. He still wants to extort our construction site?”
Ding Xiu took a deep puff of his cigarette and stared at Mo Yan with an unfriendly expression.
Mao Dachun couldn't stand it anymore. His face flushed red as he said,"You're talking nonsense. Ding Xiu, you clearly only wanted to rush the construction period and didn't care if the wall was dry or not. You asked your colleagues to speed up the construction, which caused my father to break his leg.”
When Ding Xiu saw Mao Dachun speak, he glared and said fiercely,""Mao Dachun, if you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll deduct your salary. Don't even think about getting a single cent of your salary next month.”
"Hurry up and get lost. Otherwise, I'll get someone to teach you a lesson.”
"Come on, I'm not afraid…"
Mao Dachun rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight Ding Xiu. Mo Yan saw this and pulled him back. Then, he said to Ding Xiu,""Mr. Ding, I'm a lawyer. Are you sure you want someone to beat us up?”
After saying that, Mo Yan took out his lawyer's ID from his pocket and waved it at Ding Xiu.
"Hmph, I don't care if you're a lawyer or not. Hurry up and leave our construction site. Otherwise, the two of you will be in trouble.”Ding Xiu shouted as he pulled his neck.
Although he looked fierce, he was no longer as arrogant as before. It seemed that Mo Yan's identity as a lawyer still made him wary.
"Since Mr. Ding doesn't want to talk here, we'll talk in court another day.”
After Mo Yan finished speaking, he dragged the indignant Mao Dachun and left.
Ding Xiu shouted at their backs,"Are you trying to scare me? We have many lawyers at Hengyuan. If you want to fight a lawsuit, we'll be there anytime."
"A kid who hasn't even grown his hair yet wants to fight a lawsuit for others.”
After leaving the construction site, Mo Yan looked at the time. It was already noon. He was already a little hungry, so he decided to find a Sha County Hotel near the construction site to fill his stomach first.
"Mo Yan, what should we do next?”
Mao Dachun bit on a steamed dumpling and mumbled.
"Well, don't you and your dad work at the construction site? Do you have any good friends?”Mo Yan asked.
"What do you mean?"
Mao Dachun didn't know what Mo Yan was trying to do.
"Collect evidence and get those workers to testify that Ding Xiu did violate the construction standards, causing the wall to collapse.”Mo Yan explained.
"I can testify to this. Why do you need to find someone else?”Mao Dachun said casually.
"You can't." Mo Yan shook his head." You're Uncle Mao's son. Although you can testify in court, your strength will definitely be weakened."”
"For this matter, the more people are willing to testify, the better!”
" Oh, it's not a problem to let my colleagues testify, but..."
At this point, Mao Dachun hesitated for a moment and scratched his head. His face revealed some embarrassment."My dad has been hospitalized for the past few days, so I don't have any money left. Mo Yan, you know that I have to treat him to a meal.”
Mo Yan didn't waste any time. He directly transferred 3,000 yuan to Mao Dachun. After thinking about it, he felt that it wasn't enough. After all, Uncle Mao had to spend money in the hospital these few days, so he transferred another 10,000 yuan to him.
"Use this money first. If it's not enough, tell me.”Mo Yan put down his phone and said.
"Thanks, Mo Yan. When I have money, I will return it to you as soon as possible.”
After dinner, Mo Yan brought Mao Dachun to buy a set of recording equipment. After explaining some key points of the recording to Mao Dachun, the two of them parted ways.
He wanted his lawyer to rush back to write the complaint and submit it to the court so that the trial could start as soon as possible.
When he was done, it was already past 8 pm. Mo Yan took the bus home.
As it was rush hour, the bus was packed with people. Mo Yan couldn't find a seat, so he could only stand there holding the handrail.
She was considering whether she should buy a car too. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for her to go out and do things.
Anyway, he was someone with a small amount of savings, so buying a car was not too stressful.
Chi!
At another stop, the bus stopped and a group of old ladies in sportswear got on it. One of them was holding a small slightly in her hand. It seemed that she was the legendary square dancing auntie.
The moment this group of people got into the car, they started chattering non-stop.
The originally quiet atmosphere in the carriage was gone. Many young people who had been tired for a day and were dozing off in their chairs suddenly felt no sleepiness. They raised their heads and frowned at this group of people.
The bus was a public place. These people were too uncultured to be so noisy.
However, this group of people was completely ignorant and continued to do as they pleased, making a lot of noise.
One of the old ladies said,"Sigh, it's really the world's morals that are deteriorating day by day. People's hearts are no longer the same as before. The young people nowadays really don't have any sense of civility."”
"You didn't even give up your seat when you saw us old people get on the bus.”
"Yeah, his character is too low. He really doesn't have any compassion.”
"Isn't that so? All of them are young and strong. When they see me standing, they aren't ashamed to sit.”
Hearing this, Mo Yan was amused.
To be more precise, he was angered by this group of aunties.
This group of aunties didn't find it tiring when they were performing square dancing, nor did they find it tiring when they went to the supermarket to grab eggs. However, they were tired after standing on the bus for a while.
It was true that the young man was strong, but everyone had been working hard all day. It was not easy for them to wait until it was time to get off work and have a moment of rest on the bus, but they were ridiculed by these aunties. It was really an unexpected disaster.
Thirty years ago, a group of young people wearing bell-bottom pants and dancing disco made the neighborhood restless. Thirty years later, a group of old people dancing square dance made the young people unable to rest well.
It seemed to be this group of people. It was not that the old people had become bad, but that the bad people had become old.
