[INDO SUB] The Story of Xing Fu EP13 | Zhao Liying / Liu Wei | YOUKU
[The Story of Xing Fu] [Episode 13] [People’s Court] Both parties have negotiated thoroughly and have reached an agreement. The court is nothing but supportive of such an undertaking. Today, we will finalize the deal. Well, we have no problem for the most part. However, regarding the plot on Niaofei Creek,
Can we get another offer? Sorry. All workable lands already have owners. That plot is the only one left. But that plot is barren. It’s just a rock formation and it’s so deep within the mountain, at least ten li away from the village. Oh, Wang Qinglai. Sometimes, I wonder if you’re a wolf
In sheep’s clothing. You weren’t even supposed to have land nor did you mention you wanted one. My father took pity on all of you and so he gave this plot away ad hoc. Be grateful already. But this plot you gave is barely cultivable. And it was given to us
From the hands of a contractor. We have to pay him. It’s… It’s so useless. I can’t plant anything on it. What do I use this land for? Do whatever you wish with it then. Plant whatever that can grow. It’s none of my business. Do you want it or not? Just say it. Yes.
Please mind your manner. Both parties agreed to the settlement below. The defendant, Wanjia Group, will pay the plaintiff, Wang Youde, 130,000 yuan for land damages and 60,000 yuan for violating the terms stipulated in the vegetable distributorship agreement. Out of Wanjia Group’s compassion toward the injured villager,
They have offered to pay the two hospital bills, amounting to 3,720 yuan, for a total of 193,720 yuan. In addition, this settlement also includes a 30-year contractor agreement on the 15-mu plots on Niaofei Creek. Proceed to the final confirmation before the court pronounces its legitimacy. Chuanjia is out. Chuanjia, is it over now?
Come. Let’s go sing karaoke and relax a bit. Let’s go. Mr. Cailiang, this matter has finally concluded. You should come with us today. We’ll sing karaoke, have some beer, and relax. Let me arrange everything for you, all right? I agree. Arrange what? You should head back earlier.
If your dad knows that you visit a KTV, he will be angry. Let him be. He always wants everyone to be a workaholic like him. Didn’t we earn money to spend it? Let’s go. Sorry, I can’t. I still have some matters to handle in the village committee. Head home early today.
Safe trip, Mr. Cailiang. Let’s sing karaoke! Let’s go. Senior, do we head back right now? Let’s go. Xingyun. We’re going to sing karaoke and drink. Join us. I’m not done yet. Let me finish my sentence. We know each other very well now. We’re old friends. Come. -Come. -Come. Come.
I’m not your old friend. Move aside. Did you not hear her? She wants you to move aside. What are you doing? Don’t touch me. I’m warning you. We’re outside the court. People are watching. Your behavior today might be used against you when we file a lawsuit in the future.
You hear that? He is a lawyer. You have to behave. No roughhousing. I won’t touch him, all right? What are you doing? Let me go! It’s just boys being boys. I was too drunk the other day and I offended you. Today, we’ll sing karaoke, dance, and drink a bit.
I don’t want to drink, sing, or dance with you. -What do you want to do with me then? -Wan Chuanjia, what are you doing? Xingfu. Are you trying to harass a girl outside the court? Stay away from my sister. Don’t you dare touch my sister! I do not take your accusation well.
You glare at me but did you witness what happened? Did I harass her? This is defamation. You’re just twisting everything. Stop. I was just saying that the day you two got married, my behavior might have offended her. Today, I want to treat her to some karaoke or beer
And maybe we can move on. Are you free? Join us. Go away. No one wants to drink with you. You have no shame. Just say you’re busy then. We’ll hang out another day. Dress better. Otherwise, no invitation for you. Till next time! Let’s go. Scoot. What a jerk. Xingyun. I’m fine, Xingfu.
Tell Mom that I won’t head back. We’re returning to the city straight away. Let’s go, Senior. Mr. Guan. Please take good care of my sister. Okay. See you then. Drive safe! Senior, can you pull over? What’s the matter? I don’t want to mention it. Did the general manager of Wanjia Group
Do something to you? The day Xingfu got married, I was her bridesmaid. Wan Chuanjia and his goons came. They tore my dress and started touching me. And then? And then… I just want to kill them now because they have ruined my life. Xingyun. They committed a crime. You have no idea, Senior.
In a rural village, this is called wedding hazing. At most, people thought that they overdid it. This is not a question of whether this is acceptable in a rural village. You’re educated and you practice law. Now, use it to protect yourself and give them the punishment they deserve.
I can file a lawsuit but that won’t do a thing. I can do that and they won’t be rightfully punished. Can you imagine? Even my mother said it was just a joke gone awry. She said if the villagers did not joke around during a wedding ceremony, it wouldn’t be festive enough.
It was all for the festivity. What can I do against it? But Xingyun, others might think that way but you can’t. You studied law. You know very well that it wasn’t a joke. They sexually assaulted a woman. They rallied a crowd and committed a crime in public.
That’s at least a five-year prison sentence, with no suspended sentence available. But if I tell everyone this and bring them to court, the one who gets hurt the most is me. If everyone knows, how can I face them? How can I lift my head up? Because of this, my ex left me.
But this is not your fault at all. What do you mean you can’t lift your head up? Xingyun, you are a lawyer in the making. If you can’t even defend your own right, how can you defend your clients’? Running away will not solve anything. And if you do not deal with it now,
Whenever you visit your hometown, you’ll run into him again. What happened today might repeat itself. What are you doing to do then? Don’t visit your hometown forever? Hide away from him forever? But can you ever hide from your inner demon? Xingyun, be like your sister. Do not be afraid. Senior,
You know everything now. Will you look down on me? Of course not. Why would I do that? Xingyun. You have to be braver. Bring him to court. I’ll stay by your side. What? We would like to report a case. Wan Chuanjia sexually assaulted a woman. Xingyun. Mr. Guan, have a sit. Let’s talk.
The previous case just concluded and now, a new one presents itself. I can’t catch a break at all. [Police] Xingyun. Mr. Guan is from the city. He can be excused. But you are from the village. You know it, don’t you? Wedding hazing is like a local custom here.
Your brother-in-law’s family is a small one. If no one went to conduct a wedding hazing, her wedding would never be that festive. They wanted your brother-in-law’s family to feel good about themselves so they did that to drive up the atmosphere. A bunch of men tore a woman’s dress apart and touched her.
That’s hyping up the atmosphere instead of a crime? They might have overdone it. Definitely. But this village… It is not above law, is it? Right. I agree. Oh, my. I… I mean… Look. In a village, there are many outdated practices. Before they become completely obsolete,
If we have to treat them as criminal offenses, then too many people will have to be arrested. Mr. Guan. I totally agree with you. I don’t like wedding hazing at all. But I can’t do anything about it. Everyone wants a wedding hazing during their wedding ceremony. Without a prankster,
That means you’re a pariah. How are you supposed to live like that? I’m serious. To tell you the truth, what she went through isn’t even the worst. The more reasons to enforce the law! A crime doesn’t turn into a local custom just because everyone does it. What kind of logic is that?
Right. Right. Then… Do you have any evidence? Officer Li, investigating the truth and collecting evidence are not what the victim should do. Right, right. You are totally right. Sit, Mr. Guan. Have a seat. Let me open a new case. Okay? Your name? He Xingyun. Thank you. Count on me, Mr. Guan. Don’t worry.
Thank you. [Fushui Town Police Station] Troubles come one after another. Everything is over now. Xingfu. From now on, you’re to stay home. Your tummy will become bigger so you have to be extra careful. Look. We got the compensation. Make sure she’s well-fed so that she is in good health. All right?
I’ll brew some fish soup then, okay? Dad, Mom. Although we got the compensation and the issue has concluded, I still feel like justice hasn’t prevailed. If it were me, I’d never settle out of court with them. I would have brought them to court. I want to see justice prevail.
If I win the lawsuit, then I’ll be happy. Don’t bring unnecessary troubles to yourself. Getting financially compensated is the best solution there is. You want them to apologize to you? What good will that do? I would rather have the money to buy a bag of rice. Don’t you think so? Remember this, okay?
In this village, don’t always be this argumentative. You’ll suffer in the long run. How sad is that? Shouldn’t we differentiate right from wrong? I agree the issue is settled. But you weren’t there to see how triumphant Wan Chuanjia was outside the court. It’s almost as if he was the right one.
Otherwise, why would he touch Xingyun again? What? What did Chuanjia do? Another fight? Another brawl? Mom. After we signed the agreement, Chuanjia insisted on inviting Xingyun to drink and sing karaoke. Xingfu chased them away. I think he just wanted to apologize to her. Mom, is that how one is supposed to apologize?
He was harassing my sister. Look at his villainous face. This case barely tickled him. Otherwise, how could he still dare behave like that right outside the court? Enough. What they do is not our concern. We just have to mind our own business. Sit. Qinglai. Sit. Sit. Since we will be free,
Let’s dust off the agricultural tools. Eat. You have arrived, my friend. What is going on? Something serious? Sit down, please. We… Please give us a moment. See you, Mr. Wan. What happened? We want to speak to Chuanjia. He went to the county for some errands. Did he get himself into trouble again?
He Xingyun came to the police station to report a case. She said Chuanjia sexually assaulted her. And we came here to investigate further. The wedding hazing again? It’s an old story already. What’s the problem now? It will never end, will it? It was supposed to be over. But Chuanjia stopped
Xingyun in front of the court. He catcalled her and his gang tried to create a scene. She was upset so she came back to file a report. So she filed a report because they tried to create a scene? It’s not about that. It’s about the wedding hazing. Seriously? Regarding that,
I have already spoken to the village committee. We even laid out rules that no wedding hazing is to be had from now on. What else do you want? That’s where you are wrong, you see. While this is a common occurrence here, if the victim doesn’t report it to the police,
You can chalk it up to local customs. But if the victim comes forth… Several young men undressed a woman and touched her. In legal terms, it’s called sexual assault. Furthermore, they rallied the crowd and did it in public. If they were found guilty, they would be sentenced to jail
With no suspended sentence available. Come on. Wedding hazing has existed for several generations, several decades. Right? Some even had it worse. And that’s why it’s an outdated practice. If we treat it seriously, those who are part of the hazing all committed a crime. Criminal Law states that sexual assault or aggression
Toward women via violence, extortion, or other means, will be given five-year imprisonment or criminal detention maximum. And this is not the end. Rallying the crowd or committing this crime in front of the public will be given a five-year sentence at least. Can you see it now? Chuanjia ticked all the boxes. Shantang,
You need to treat this matter seriously. Your enemy is not the Wang family, but two lawyers. I took it seriously. As I said, I laid out rules. Also, wedding hazing has been observed for several centuries. All right? And now, when Chuanjia did it, it’s a crime. I don’t buy it.
Whether you like it or not, as the saying goes, no village shares the same customs, this might be accepted here but in another province, Chuanjia could very well be in jail now. Your son… Go and arrest him now. Teach him a good lesson. That would spare me the headache too.
I know you said that out of frustration. But if my investigation leads to any solid evidence that suggests criminality, I’ll have no choice but to arrest him. All right. Since Chuanjia is not here, we’ll head back first. Let’s leave. You look quite busy here as well. Don’t get upset. When Chuanjia returns,
Send him to me at the police station. Come in. Mr. Han, you asked for me? You’re back. Looks like I have to thank you. So tell me, how much profit did you bring to the law firm? I only found this out after you left, the one you fought against was Wanjia Group.
Do you know how much they make in a year? No idea. Then search online! You have to have some basic knowledge about them. Wanjia Group’s output value is in the billions. Their net profit is at least 100 million. As a lawyer, you have to pick your side. You should pick your client.
And you represented a villager and fought against a huge company like this. The battle will never be won. Wanjia Group spends millions on its legal department every year. Several hundred thousand at the very least. You should work for clients like them. Mr. Han, a lawyer shouldn’t favor the rich. We shouldn’t, you say?
There are many lawyers here. Who gives you your paycheck? Poor clients like your sister? Just so you know, if you ever do something foolish like this, this firm will not keep you. This is the pile of cases from the last two days, summarize them. You won’t make anything like that.
Let me crochet for my grandchild. Mr. and Mrs. Wang! Xingfu. Mr. Wan, you’re here. -What brought you here? -Mr. Wan. Welcome, Mr. Wan. Qinglai. I just want to know something. I heard that Chuanjia bullied Xingfu’s sister again. Nothing too serious, I hope. Of course, not. No, not really.
Why don’t you ask your son what he did? Oh, tell me about it. I haven’t even found my stupid son. If he did something bad again, I’ll teach him a lesson. Take a seat first, Mr. Wan. -Exactly. -Yes. Qinglai. -Serve some tea. -Okay. Have a seat, Mr. Wan. Brew some nice tea, okay?
Okay. Sit. Okay. Mr. Wan, you came all the way here just for this? No, not at all. There are other matters too. It took a long time to solve the land acquisition issue. And then, I was too occupied with the construction of the factory. I did not have any free time.
Qinglai was hospitalized and yet, I did not pay him a visit. It’s not right. Village kids are tough, all right? He’s as healthy as a horse now. That’s good then. -Mr. Wan, have some tea. -Thank you. Qinglai is fine now but he was seriously injured.
The doctors in the village dared not to intervene so we had to go to the hospital in the county. You misjudged the force of your kick. It’s an old story now. Why bring it up? The elder was teaching the young ones a lesson. The young ones weren’t behaving
So the elder had to be strict. Sometimes, you just got carried away. Right? But Qinglai did nothing wrong. I came to apologize. It was just a series of unfortunate events. I just kicked Guancai out and then Qinglai appeared. I was fuming. And I thought Qinglai was an opportunist like Guancai,
Who wished to take advantage of us. I got carried away. I shouldn’t have taken it out on you. Qinglai, do not hold any grudges. Please accept my apology. No need, Mr. Wan. I’m all healed now. I’m good. That’s good to know. Mr. Wan, Xingfu is very straightforward.
She’s not one to keep her thoughts to herself. However, she’s a tremendous helper and she treats us very well. She’s definitely someone to keep. Of course. Xingfu is a rare gem in the village. You have brought in new changes to our village. And you have improved our societal and legal awareness.
If we ever have to pick an exemplary family, yours will definitely be in it. Mr. Wan, no need to compliment me. I am not after anything. I just want us to sort it out. That will eliminate the hard feelings. Of course. Right or wrong, it needs to be sorted out.
You sure have a high standard. She says that but not everything is black and white. Am I right? I just came to pay all of you a visit. And I wonder what your future plans are since you no longer need to work on the plot. Based on the village rules, Qinglai and Xingfu
Can apply to work in the factory. I can give them the jobs whenever. And you two are also old enough to claim your pension according to the village welfare plan. Right? Xingfu is expecting. Mr. and Mrs. Wang, you two should retire. Rest up and maybe raise your grandchild. Enjoy your retirement life.
All right? Sure! If you have any problems, just come to me. If they can be solved, the village committee will help. All is good. Look how generous Mr. Wan is! We have stayed in the same village for many years. Everyone knows each other. Right? If something goes wrong,
We can always talk things out. No need to tell an outsider. Why waste your money and time on a lawyer? We can just talk things out, can’t we? We never wanted to take it to court. But you said… Just forget about it already. It’s past now. Water under the bridge. Yes.
Let’s forget it. Yes, it’s all in the past now. Once it’s settled, we don’t mention it again. And I have another favor to ask of Xingfu. How can I help? Well, because of the wedding hazing, your sister wants to report Chuanjia. Again? You weren’t aware? I didn’t know about that.
Oh, my. Why didn’t your sister tell you guys before making a major decision? Xingfu. That incident has become an old story. Right? I also laid out rules to ban all wedding hazing. Can you talk to your sister and see what she thinks of it? We can just discuss it among ourselves.
I’ll have Chuanjia apologize to your sister in person later. Mr. Wan. I truly have no idea about this. I’ll call my sister and ask her what happened. I’ll get back to you once I have the full picture. Is that okay? Call her now then. I’ll wait. Sure. Sit inside, Mr. Wan.
-Go inside. -Okay. Sit down, please. Yes, Xingfu? Did Chuanjia give you a hard time again? It’s Mr. Wan. He came and told us that you wanted to report Chuanjia. He wanted me to talk to you. So they can actually be afraid. Have you thought it through? You really want to report it?
If he hadn’t messed with me when I was back, it wouldn’t be like this. What if Mr. Wan promised to ask Chuanjia to apologize to you? It’s too late. He should have done it earlier. Thank you. Have some water, Mr. Wan. Sit down, Youde. Xingfu, what did your sister say? Xingyun insists
On bringing this to court. She must have made up her mind. Xingfu, you should persuade your sister. It’s an old story. Why bring it up again? I admit that wedding hazing is an outdated practice. No one treated this matter seriously in the past. Ask around the villages nearby. Our village is the first
To outlaw this practice. Is this not good enough? Well, my sister is very angry. She insisted on bringing him to court. I cannot persuade her otherwise. Mr. Guan said that if we ever had disagreements, we could settle them legally. Xingyun has her justifications and so do you. Why don’t we settle it
In court? I’m sure the judge will consider both our situations and give us a satisfactory answer. That will be fair. What do you think? All right. We’ll do that then. It’s getting late now. I have to go. Stay a little longer, Mr. Wan. No? Mr. Wan. Take care, Mr. Wan.
No need to see me out. Come, come! Come on. Fifteen, fifteen, twenty. Fifteen, fifteen, five. Drink up. Come. Love cannot be bought by money. Get hyped, buddies! Chuanjia, a toast to you. Four sixes. -Let’s see. -Go on then. Come. Drink up. Again! Let go of your love. [Chuanjia] Hello.
The number you have dialed is currently busy. Please try again later. [Payment Due] Open the door for me. Be quiet. Don’t wake up my old man. You’re back. Hold on. Let me close the door. So hot. What is so hot? Let me close the door. Did Chuanjia return?
Why did you drink so much again? What a rare sight. You are still up this late. Were you waiting for me? Your father is in a grumpy mood. Behave yourself later. I don’t care about him. Before that, I drank so much that my heart is beating abnormally.
Let me rest up before we go inside. Okay? Come, have a seat. Sit. You know, our child is old enough. Doing it on the bed is quite inconvenient. Maybe we can… Your father is here. -Your father is here! -I don’t care. Dad, when did you arrive? This is so awkward.
Who did you go out drinking with? You know, my bros. After we worked, we sang karaoke and drank to relax. You had a great time? You have no idea. Dad, you know what? I’ll bring you there one day. I’ll arrange everything for you. You have the lights, the speakers,
And all sorts of alcohol. You can dance, jump, or sing. I’m serious, Dad. You can’t live to work. You have to live for yourself. Was it fun? Very fun. Fun? Very fun, you said? Very fun? Go have fun then. Stop! Dad! I’m 30 years old now and you’re still hitting me.
You’ll still amount to nothing even if you live until the age of 80. Calm down, Dad! -Don’t stoop to his level! -Of course, I’ll hit you. Live for yourself, you say? Do you even know what it means? When will you grow up and stop giving me trouble? What did I do?
What troubles did I give you now? You have no idea how screwed you are. She is charging you! Who? I went to sing karaoke. What crime did I commit? You don’t know who you crossed? Listen, she is reporting you for sexual assault. Sexual assault, you hear me? Officer Li told me
That in your case, if you were found guilty, three to five years in jail would be guaranteed. What assault? What sexual assault? Who did I assault? You truly have no idea? He Xingyun is suing you. This was supposed to be over. She decided to take it silently.
But you, you had to rub it on her face. Are you crazy? Everyone has their dignity. A rabbit will bite back if it’s provoked. Tell me, aren’t you mocking her? But… But… You told me to apologize to her. I ran into her outside the court
So I invited her to sing karaoke and drink with me. I thought I’d apologize and we could just move on. Why is she suing me for this small matter? Small matter? Put yourself in her shoes. If this happened to your sister, would you do the same? I would kill the perpetrator! See?
That’s what they are doing. When did I ever grovel to someone? But for you, I dragged my apologetic face to coddle someone. Thank you so much! You said you were independent, didn’t you? I won’t intervene then. Fix your own mess. When he sobers up tomorrow morning, tell him to go to Officer Li
In the police station. He will be questioned. Please calm down. Unbelievable. Take your high blood pressure pill. Why did you cross that girl again? Was last time not enough for you? What’s wrong with you? If my father hits me, I’ll take it. And now, you hit me too?
How dare you hit me back! This is not over! Explain now! You two, out of my sight! Let’s go. [Fushui Town Police Station] Wan Chuanjia, He Xingyun filed a report that on October 1st, 2009, the day her sister, He Xingfu, got married, you rallied the crowd and sexually assaulted her.
What do you have to say about that? She’s lying and she’s trying to tarnish my name. She claimed that you and several young men pinned her on the bed, tore her dress, and touched her. Did that happen? I was drunk that day. I can’t remember. Who else was there?
As I said, I don’t remember. I drank too much that day. Baijiu, beer, and… Wan Chuanjia. I hope you can treat this seriously. Mr. Li. I’m here now. I’m as serious as it gets. I was stupid. Wang Youde begged me to attend his son’s wedding ceremony. Wedding hazing is our local custom.
And now, it turned into a crime. And I am now charged. If I had known this would happen, I would never attend the ceremony no matter how hard they begged. Chuanjia, this matter is no longer a minor issue. I want you to take it seriously. So please, try to recall
What happened that day. Okay. You know what? I’ll recall it when I’m back home and if I have something, I’ll call you. Wait. You can head back today but if you ever recall anything, you tell us. All right? We will continue investigating. And during this period,
You will make yourself available at all times and you cannot leave the village. Is that necessary? Mr. Li, I have to handle many things for my project. If I have to go on a business trip… You have to be cooperative. Okay? Yes, cooperative. I won’t leave. Is it good enough?
Can I leave now? Here. Sign in. Here. Let me read what you wrote. [Signature: Wan Chuanjia] Your fingerprint. Tissue paper? We don’t have it. Come in. Mr. Han. The case summary you asked for. Already done? That was quick. You sure are efficient. Coincidentally, these just arrived. Summarize them too. Mr. Han.
I’m handling a lot of work now. Can you give me a raise? Never have I heard a trainee solicitor asking for a pay rise. Well, Mr. Han, my base salary is 800 yuan. After paying my rent, the rest is barely enough. Other lawyers get commissions from their cases.
I have been your assistant for a long time and have done many things. But you never give me any commission. By right, a trainee solicitor has no base salary. 800 yuan is already an exception made for you. Also, didn’t you follow Guan Tao to earn some extra cash? I… I’m your legal mentor
And without my permission, you left to handle a case with another lawyer. And when you returned, you asked me for a pay rise. Is that appropriate? But Mr. Han, you have to know that this is a special case. It involved my sister. It’s not right if I don’t help out.
No need to explain. Are you in love with Guan Tao? Although he had a divorce, you two do look good together. If he takes you seriously, then I have nothing to comment on. But if it’s just a fling, why don’t you have it with me? Mr. Han, please refrain
