Marvel's princess becomes king
Chapter 44 Lawyer
Lao Qiao's daughter was also listening. When her old father said that she had no job and no source of income, she couldn't help but wipe her tears.
Here again the cultural differences between East and West appear.
Eastern women have a job and achieve economic independence as the mainstream value consciousness.
But it's different in the West. There are so many housewives here! It is unimaginable in the East!
Leaving aside the topic of happy education, even among women who have received higher education and even graduated from prestigious universities, a large number of them choose to go home and become housewives after getting married.
It seems to be a natural thing here that men earn money to support the family, and women take care of the housework and take care of the children.
Right now, this eighty-year-old man is going out to rob, and the middle-aged woman, who has both hands and feet and is free from disasters and illnesses, stays at home, washes clothes and takes care of her children every day. This is also a common situation here. Bella has no position to blame the other party.
She was not going to talk nonsense on the issue of women's rights, as that would go a long way. She comforted Lao Qiao.
"Calm down, anger can't solve the problem. We can resort to law. I will consult a lawyer later about the pension... Let's talk about Bank of America letting you buy financial products. "
The old man was also very interested in this topic, and he began to talk endlessly about how the bank staff tricked him into buying financial products, and then lost all his principal and used his house to offset the debt.
The old man burst into tears as he spoke, and Bella felt a little uncomfortable.
What the steel factory and Stark Industries did was to cheat, rely on your pensions, and delay little by little.
The bank was screwed. It used a lot of professional terminology to confuse the old man and asked him to buy financial products while he was confused.
People here don't have the habit of saving. Thirty percent of the people don't even have a thousand dollars in savings. The old man and his whole family have to rely on his pension to survive. What savings can he have?
Listening to the other party's lofty claims, there are no risks, high returns, high-quality projects, and there is no national policy support. The -year-old man has long been out of touch with the times. What kind of discernment can he have?
Lao Qiao and many of his co-workers used their houses as mortgages and later bought financial products that even the bank staff would not buy.
......
Bella and Natasha sighed and left Old Joe's house, and then went to the eighty-five-year-old Willie's house. No one was at home, and after asking around, I found out that the old man had been admitted to the hospital due to kidney failure and was now on a ventilator.
The remaining eighty-one-year-old Yael was quite talkative, but his girlfriend urged him hard. He talked to them for ten minutes and then left.
"Can I still find a girlfriend at eighty-one?!"
Seeing the silver-haired, seemingly seventy-year-old grandmother holding the hand of the eighty-one-year-old Yal man sweetly, Bella was really shocked.
Natasha held up three fingers with a strange expression that you rarely see: "What's this? Old Yal has claimed on many occasions that he can have sex with his girlfriend three times every morning!"
Bella took a closer look at Old Man Yaer. He could hardly walk anymore. He had to walk for a long time in small steps for a distance of more than ten meters. He kept moving forward little by little, and he couldn't even move his legs or feet! Can such a body be able to do this three times in the morning? I don’t understand you old Americans very well!
"You are such good people!"
"God bless you both."
"Good boy, there are too few enthusiastic people like you now!"
Bella and Natasha once again asked seven or eight families of elderly people who had the same experience. After they expressed their willingness to help the elderly seek justice, they received a lot of praise.
These things are of no use to Natasha, it just makes her happy after listening to them, but they are of great use to Bella!
The praises from the old people were all sincere, and her enthusiasm instantly increased a lot.
Now that she was able to receive praise, she immediately adjusted her original plan.
In the evening, the two deliberately looked for trouble and had a fight with two other groups of high school students who were also conducting social surveys.
Natasha's so-called "little knowledge" of karate is quite reliable. Although it is still limited to the level of ordinary people, she has strength, agility, and her understanding of fighting skills is frightening. With Bella's help, the three of them He 'persuaded' several high school students with just a few punches and kicks.
After they completed their first day of social investigation, they had thirteen more younger brothers by their side.
Demonstrations and prosecutions are the three magic weapons of social practice at this stage.
Natasha volunteered to organize demonstrations, while Bella used the few contacts left by the previous air crash to try to go through legal procedures to seek a future guarantee for these old steel plant workers.
Even the most stubborn Texan has to admit that New Yorkers are very good at litigating, and the lawyers sought in the plane crash came from New York.
Bella called the law firm responsible for the current Flight 180 crash. After knowing that she could not afford much legal fees, the other party enthusiastically recommended a lawyer to her.
After seeing the lawyer named Jerry Hogarth, Bella felt a little cheated.
This female lawyer looked too young, with black hair, a skirt, and high heels. She was dressed very meticulously, but judging from her face, she was not much older than Bella.
There is no personal assistant, and even the title on the business card is only lawyer, not partner of a law firm. This female lawyer is obviously at the level of someone who has just graduated from school.
Jerry Hogarth accepted the commission to sue the steel mills and Stark Industries for suspending pension payments, but he was a little embarrassed about the old people buying financial products and losing their entire fortune.
"Ms. Swan, I understand your original intention, but from a legal perspective, purchasing financial products is risky, and there is nothing illegal in it."
Bella didn't study law. The laws here are different in every state, so she doesn't know whether it's illegal or not.
"Isn't there fraud involved?" she asked.
Jerry Hogarth shook his head and chuckled. If someone asked her such a question, she would just answer it casually. But seeing Bella's face, he still patiently and carefully explained the differences to her.
"If the signatory is sane and has not been coerced, concealed or deceived, then the investment agreement signed in this case has a legal basis. Investment is risky. The houses of the elderly people you mentioned will be taken away by the bank. , as a person I regret it, but as a lawyer, I don’t recommend spending a lot of energy on it.”
Bella scratched her head. The female lawyer made it very clear. She was not someone who couldn't listen to advice.
According to her original intention, it is best to block the way for the elderly to buy financial products. What kind of financial management is there at such an old age? But it happened that financial management was the mainstream here, and she couldn't think of anything to refute.
"Okay, let's focus on the payment of pensions first. How to do it specifically?"
Jerry Hogarth thought for a moment: "Do you know about joint prosecution? Try to find as many victims as possible and take the path of joint prosecution."
