you are so tender

Chapter 29 Analogy in the Courtroom

Tian Xiaohui didn't know how to drive the car home.The lights on the road are bright, and the tears are more colorful.Hearing the sound of the key turning, Xu Man opened the door for her.Tian Xiaohui threw herself into Xu Man's arms, weeping unceasingly.Xu Man was terrified, and pulled her to sit on the sofa in the living room, stroked Tian Xiaohui's constantly shaking shoulders, pulled out a tissue from the towel box on the tea table, and prepared to wipe her gushing tears. "Xu Man, I don't want to wipe, don't wipe." Tian Xiaohui shook her face desperately, her eyes had already been blurred by tears, she judged Xu Man's intentions by the sound of the M-Zone and the tearing of the face towel.

"Xiaohui, don't scare me like this. What's the matter? What happened tonight?" Xu Man asked eagerly.

"You don't understand, you don't understand, Xu Man." Tian Xiaohui said infinitely desolately, as if she was not a sister who was only two years older than Xu Man, but an elderly woman who had experienced vicissitudes and bitterness in the world.Tian Xiaohui stretched out her arms to embrace Xu Man, letting her rest her head on her shoulder.Xu Man used Tian Xiaohui's shoulder as a fulcrum, and raised her chin as much as possible so that she could still see Tian Xiaohui's eyes.Tian Xiaohui pursed her willow-like lips tightly, showing an unprecedented solemnity, and then said incomparably gentle words: "I'm fine. Xu Man, you don't have to be afraid. I just... love you so much." Xu Man saw two lines of tears falling from her eyes again.

"Xiaohui, with you here, I have nothing to fear." Xu Man said.

"No. It's not because of me. Xu Man, you originally had unparalleled courage. If I can save you from being so strong, so tolerant, and so indomitable, I would rather you live a more relaxed and happy life." If Tian Xiaohui has Said thoughtfully.

"I'm very happy. Xiaohui, with you caring about me, I think life is generous and generous." Xu Man said.

"Xu Man, do you feel that something in our life has been destroyed. Or it was destroyed very early, or it was damaged every day. I can't say what this thing is, but I think it It is the basic element of life, and it is something that makes life feel warm, beautiful and worthy of nostalgia. Is it kindness? Yes. Because people only retain some compassion in the farthest part of their hearts, and are willing to do things that have nothing to do with themselves Disaster donations shed tears, but for those he thinks he is close to, he can be moody and turbulent. Is it trust? Yes. Because the trust between people is so fragile that it cannot withstand the waves and accidents in life. The unintentional test of the years. Is it tolerance? Yes, because people only show open-mindedness and generosity when they follow their personal will and promote common interests, and even do not hesitate to relax discipline. Once things do not go well and they have their own ideas, they will completely forget Xu Man, like you, I haven’t lived in the world for too long, and I dare not say that I can see everything clearly, but what I see is that people are rich or poor, whether they have no worries about their livelihoods or suffer hardships. The same heartache, the same lack and dullness. The rich think that there is truth in simplicity, and the poor think that there is happiness in wealth, but they are both wrong. They are just asking for what they lack, and what they lack is the same What they don’t know, that thing is not in the other party’s hands, if they don’t have it in their own hands.”

"Xiao Hui, are you going to the hospital for surgery tonight? After you come back, you have become a philosopher."

"What philosopher! I just felt a little stimulated. Xu Man, let's live abroad in the future?"

"Ah." Xu Man was surprised: "Are you serious?"

"It's not serious." Tian Xiaohui said, "Sometimes I feel too depressed, and I really want to change my living environment."

"Xiao Hui, I will be where you are. If you really want to go abroad, we can work together to prepare for the future while we are still young. Doctors and lawyers are considered to be the two best professions in modern society. You Look, we have it all. We save 30.00% of our income, and we can go anywhere in the future. Except for the child’s support fund, the remaining 40.00% is enough for the two of us to live.” Xu Man said.

"Xu Man, tell me why people are so easy to turn their backs on being kind to others, so distrusting others, and so lacking in tolerance?" Tian Xiaohui still couldn't get rid of the sadness in her heart.

"It's very simple, Xiaohui, you said it yourself. Love is the basis of everything. Only when people start from love can they associate with kindness, trust, and tolerance." Xu Man replied.

"Xu Man, or Xu Man." Tian Xiaohui said, "You are a bright light in my difficult life."

"It's over, Xiaohui." Xu Man corrected, "You were the one who turned on the lamp, how could I be greedy for the merits of heaven?"

"It means I'm black under the lamp. Xu Man, anyway, when you say it, my heart is instantly enlightened." Tian Xiaohui said.

"Then do you still want to continue crying?" Xu Man asked.

"Did I cry? Who said I did." Tian Xiaohui still had tears on her face.

"Xiaohui, who still wants to be my older sister? Is there such a shameless sister like you in the world?"

"No. I want to be my younger sister tonight. Sister Xu Man, Sister Xiaohui is thirsty, go get me a glass of water."

A week later, the administrative lawsuit went to trial.The trial was held in Hall 11 on the ground floor of the court building. It was called a "hall", but it was just a small room less than 20 square meters.Opposite the main entrance, facing the wall, there is a tall judge's seat. The presiding judge sits in the center, and two people's assessors sit on the left and right seats.Take the trial seat as the port of the word "pin", and the positions of the following two words are the plaintiff's seat and the defendant's seat respectively.The space between the two seats is actually the center of the room, resembling a patio.The two female clerks of the court record the statement of complaint and defense in front of the electronic equipment, or pass evidence and documents between the plaintiff and the defendant and the judge.On the plaintiff side, only Xu Man appeared in court on behalf of the company, while Wu Minghai was outside the court waiting for the arraignment to testify in court.On the defendant side, only the first defendant showed up, and the two accident workers who were listed as the second defendant because of their involvement in the case were not present.There were two representatives present in the dock. One was Zhou Lijuan, the official representative of the Development Zone Labor Bureau, and the other was a lawyer appointed or entrusted by the government. She was also a female lawyer who seemed to be a fledgling girl, much younger than Xu Man.

The defendant did not provide new evidence, but reiterated the five documents that were originally used as the basis for the work-related injury decision: (1) The accident report issued by the transportation department.

(2) A geographic map of the route to work including the traffic accident scene.

(3) A certificate from a worker that the accident worker is indeed working at the Ma'an Island construction unit.

(4) The records of the investigation of the two accident workers by the Work Injury Division of the Labor Bureau.

(5) The investigation record of one of the accident workers/wife by the Work Injury Division of the Labor Bureau.

The judge asked: "Does the plaintiff have any comments on the above evidence?"

Xu Man replied: "I have an opinion. I hold different opinions on all the above-mentioned evidence. Regarding the first evidence, the accident appraisal report from the traffic department, it only proves that the two accident workers were indeed at the accident scene when the accident occurred. The appraisal report itself does not indicate whether the accident site is the only way for the accident workers to go to work, especially it does not specify why the accident workers appeared at the accident site.

"Regarding the second piece of evidence, the geographical route map is correct in the sense of geography itself. If the two accident workers did indeed pass through the accident scene to go to work on Saddle Island, then its geographical support as a route to work is also correct. But The plaintiff has conclusive evidence to prove that the two accident workers should not have been at the accident scene at the time of the accident, but should have appeared on the route completely opposite to the accident scene. Therefore, the geographic route map provided by the defendant happened to be the reason that the accident workers were not on their way to work. Prove, not what the defendant wants it to prove.

"With regard to the third piece of evidence, there is no need for the worker to prove that the plaintiff has always admitted that the Ma'an Island construction unit is the usual place where the two accident workers usually work, but the worker did not prove that at the time of the incident, the accident worker should go to the construction site he certifies Work unit. It’s like measuring that it’s the work unit of the attorney I represent, but it can’t prove that I have to stay in the law firm or on the route to the law firm at this moment. Similarly, Ms. Zhou Lijuan works in the Labor Bureau of Kangle Avenue, Development Zone, Even during the eight-hour workday, she doesn't have to be in the geographical position of Connaught Avenue all the time. In fact, it makes sense that she and I are in Court Room 11 at the same time.

"About the fourth piece of evidence, there is something in the record itself that makes people laugh. It cannot be a strict and serious, qualified and reasonable evidence at all. The two accident workers said in the record that they used to be at the company headquarters I went to work at the industrial and commercial registration address, and later worked at the Ma'an Island construction unit. I reminded the presiding judge and the two jurors that the traffic accident happened nearly a year ago. I would like to ask the defendant: When is the past in the record? When is it later? ?The accident has passed. If the traffic accident happened to be in the past in the record, wouldn’t that just prove that the two workers were not on their way to work? I’m not questioning the work efficiency of the Labor Bureau, because its officials are in a hurry. Not even asking about the start and end dates of a major event. But I doubt their work attitude, because their inexcusable oversight reminds me that no matter how wrong their decisions are, it is not surprising.

"About the fifth piece of evidence, it is also a transcript. Although it is not as absurd as the first transcript, as a professional lawyer, I have to offend my colleagues. I would like to ask the defendant's attorney, how did you make this transcript A piece of evidence through your eyes? Because it's just a statement from a wife who said her husband told her he was out for work in the morning. I don't know if the young lawyer is married, but What I want to ask is, as a wife, do you really have that much confidence in what a husband says?"

Regarding the new evidence provided by the plaintiff to the court, the defendant proposed to temporarily reserve the question of the authenticity of the evidence itself, and asked the court to allow the defendant to conduct further investigation and verification.Xu Man asked the presiding judge to allow the plaintiff's witness to testify in court and was approved. Wu Minghai described the incident in court and answered the defendant's lawyer's questions truthfully.

The defendant's lawyer finally raised a question: "Since the evidence provided by the plaintiff in this administrative lawsuit is crucial to whether the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau recognizes the traffic accident as a work-related injury, and the witnesses and material evidence are all available, why is the plaintiff not in the administrative investigation stage?" Truthfully stated and provided evidence to the authorities? Even within the stipulated time limit after the work-related injury decision had been made and served on the plaintiff, did not submit an administrative reconsideration to the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau?"

Xu Man said: "This lawyer learned during the process of representing the lawsuit and collecting evidence that such a situation caused the official agency to make a misjudgment when the plaintiff's evidence was insufficient, that is, to make a decision on the identification of the accident worker's work-related injury. Helpless. The main reason is that there are loopholes in the plaintiff’s corporate management, which led to the absence of key witnesses and key evidence within the above-mentioned reasonable period after the incident. I am deeply sorry for this, and ask the defendant to understand the facts and understand the difficulties.”

The trial lasted more than two hours, and it was lunch time when it ended.Just as Yang Guangzhi predicted, Zhou Lijuan did not need to use her tongue during the trial, and her attorney spoke all the time.Zhou Lijuan never thought that Xu Man would mention her name in the court trial. Of course, there is nothing wrong with the way she mentioned it.When she heard the title "Ms. Zhou Lijuan" from Xu Man's mouth, she felt a little bit of agitation in her heart. At that time, she thought: "Why did she mention me? That's just an analogy, which is quite appropriate. But she doesn't have to Is there an analogy with me? And it’s a comparison of me and her side by side. Others don’t know, but she and I know it. The only analogy we have is our relationship with Yang Guangzhi. But everyone will try to avoid such analogies! Oh, no. Not only Yang Guangzhi, but also Jiaojiao."
