After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

Chapter 2143 Is there even a question? Of course, the one that costs money is better!

"Hire a lawyer? Do you have the money?" the village chief asked coldly. He was a penniless pauper who did nothing but spend money.

Shi Liu quickly said, "You stole over ten thousand yuan from Erni's ghost marriage! You also took all the money that the girls have sent back from their jobs over the years. Isn't that money too?" She loudly threatened, "If you don't get me a lawyer, I'll sue you for robbery!" If she can't have a good life, he shouldn't either!

"You're accusing me of robbery?" The village chief's face darkened immediately. "You'd better watch your words. I did take the money, but I was just keeping it safe for Da Long."

"Your second son is gone, yet you want to run away with some random man with the money. If I hadn't stopped you, you would have been gone long ago!"

"Doesn't it cost money to raise your son?"

"If you sue me, who will raise Da Long for you? Do you want him to be sent to an orphanage like those girls?"

You'd better think this through!

Sending her to an orphanage? Suddenly, Shi Liu's mind flashed back to the image of Liu Ni when she saw her again, and she murmured to herself, "Liu Ni, you saw her too. She's well-dressed and beautiful. Maybe sending her to an orphanage is a good thing."

She didn't know about the orphanage before. It was the village chief who told her that the children in the orphanage were not well-fed or clothed, and that they only ate two meals a day, which were just porridge, but they had to do a lot of work.

But why are Liu Ni and the others better cared for in the orphanage than they were at home?

The village chief narrowed his eyes as he recalled Liu Ni's drastically changed appearance. "There's an orphanage in our province. I passed by there once on business. The buildings were dilapidated and the children were skin and bones from hunger. We must have been deceived by Teacher Zhang. Liu Ni wasn't sent to an orphanage at all; she was adopted by a wealthy family."

After he said that, Shiliu understood and believed him.

The village chief glared at her fiercely and threatened again: "You're going to jail for sure. If you harm me, I'll get arrested too, and your son will just be sent to an orphanage. Let me tell you the truth, the children in orphanages either starve or die of illness. When you get out of jail, if you're not afraid of never seeing your son again, then sue me, go ahead and sue me!"

Shi Liu weakly loosened her grip on the fence, tears streaming down her face. "Brother, I won't sue you. I was talking nonsense just now, please forgive me. I want to get out as soon as possible. Please help me hire a lawyer, it won't cost much, please. Once I get out, I will repay you by doing anything for you."

The village chief frowned impatiently: "Hiring a lawyer is very expensive! You couldn't afford it even if you sold yourself! You'll only serve a few years in jail, it's not worth wasting your money!"

Shi Liu let out a desperate sob, which annoyed the person in the next cell, who chimed in, "If you don't have money to hire a lawyer, then apply to the police for a free lawyer to help you with your case."

Upon hearing this, Shi Liu was overjoyed, stopped her tears, and then felt lost. Would someone offering free help really do their best to assist her with the lawsuit?

"Since there are free lawyers, then use the free ones!" The village chief, having exhausted his patience, turned and left. "I'm off!"

Shiliu didn't watch the village chief leave; she couldn't wait to confirm with her cellmate next door again: "Are there really free lawyers?"

"Have."

Shi Liu cautiously tried to ingratiate herself: "Do you know the difference between a lawyer you pay for and a lawyer you hire on the street?"

The fellow inmate scoffed, "Is that even a question? Of course, it's better to pay for it! Famous lawyers can help you win your case and get acquitted even if you've committed a crime. Don't you know that, you country bumpkin?"

Shiliu asked awkwardly in a low voice, "...Then it's free?"

"It's free. You can be sentenced to whatever term you're due."

Pomegranate: "..." What's the point of hiring a free lawyer then?
