The two sides were at daggers drawn and were about to fight when Aunt Tao spoke.
âEldest Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, and Sister-in-law, donât be angry. We can talk things out. Dad, Mom, and Zhu, weâre not here to quarrel with you today. We just want to talk to you about something.â
Old Madam Jin glared at her fiercely. âWe have nothing to say to you. If you know whatâs good for you, let your brothers leave.â
âThis is not up to you to decide.â Mr. Tao called the lawyer over. âCome over and explain to them what law is.â
The lawyer with glasses opened a notebook, which detailed the crimes committed by the Jin family and attached the injury appraisal report he had just printed.
âIn summary, if you are sued in court, you will face imprisonment for less than two years and more than six months.â The lawyer explained.
âItâs perfectly justified for the parents-in-law to hit their daughter-in-law.â Old Madam Jinâs attitude was very bad. âIf you donât beat up your wife, you wonât be successful.â
âSo you were beaten up by your mother-in-law back then?â Mrs. Tao said faintly.
Old Madam Jinâs expression changed immediately. âIâve never been beaten!â
âHumph!â Mrs. Tao snorted coldly. âThatâs why youâre so useless.â
The two elders of the Jin family did not have much ability. When they were young, they relied on their parents. When they were old, they relied on their son. Then, their son will then depend on their children. Therefore, they did not have the ability to run the family company.
However, Jin Zhu was not a capable person. Perhaps she had inherited her parents âbad genes. She did not know how to do business. After her brother died, the Jin family had been declining.
âI have two points to refute about what this old madam said. First of all, itâs illegal to intentionally hurt someone,â The lawyer said.
âSecondly, your son has already died, so his marriage with Ms. Tao has been automatically dissolved. Strictly speaking, Ms. Tao is not your daughter-in-law now.
âAs long as she is the daughter-in-law of the Jin family, she will always be the daughter-in-law of the Jin family.â Old Jin retorted. âItâs fine if she doesnât want to be our daughter-in-law, as long as sheâs willing to return the two children to our in-laws.â
âI canât do that either.â The lawyer said calmly, âAs Mr. Jin did not dissolve his marriage with Ms. Tao before this, Ms. Tao is the first guardian of the two young masters. Only when Ms. Tao voluntarily gives up her custody can the grandparents obtain custody of the children.â
âThey have the same surname as us, so they are members of our Jin family! No matter what tricks you play, you wonât be able to take our grandson aw^ay.â
âWe should be the ones saying this to you. Those two children are my sisterâs sons, our nephews. As long as weâre alive, we wonât let them return to the Jin family.â
Mother Tao laughed. âYour grandson? This isnât up to you to decide. If the law doesnât hand the child over to you, you can forget about seeing those children again!â
Jin Zhu wasnât married yet, so she wasnât that obsessed with the two children. âI can give the children to you, but Tao Yi has to give my parents ten million as a support fee every year. Just treat it as giving it on behalf of her two sons.â Now that the Jin family had a cash flow problem, she had to think of a way to get some money from her ex-sister-in-law.
Mr. Tao stopped Mrs. Tao just as she w^as about to agree. âYou guys are the ones who are shameless. Donât you know that the lawâ states that a daughter-in-law has no obligation to raise her parents-in-law?â
âThen get her sons to do it.â
âThe two children are only ten years old. How can they afford to pay the child support?â Mrs. Tao said angrily. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The lawyer adjusted his glasses and said, âIâve already recorded this. If we go to court, we can use this to sue you for extortion.â
Jin Zhuâs confidence suddenly disappeared. âYou⦠What are you talking about?â
âIâm a lawyer. My professional ethics require me not to joke or speak nonsense.â The lawyer said seriously.
âStop talking. Iâm here to inform you today. From today onwards, my sister, Tao Yi, has nothing to do with the Jin family. If she doesnât ask for child support from you, you can forget about getting it from her..â
