Nine o'clock in the morning was the time for the judges to take their seats. Lawyer Jingguo, the headmaster, and his wife were accompanied by two mothers and children. They stopped to eat at a breakfast shop in the district, and after finishing, they hurriedly sat in the courtroom at around 8:00 a.m. As for the Huang family that came today, there were Huang Yichen, Huang Yiheng, Huang Hainan, and Huang Bilin. They arrived at almost nine o'clock, and they sat on opposite sides.
Huang Bilin secretly cursed Huang Bailan and his mother all the time. Huang Hainan, who was sitting next to her, was annoyed and told her to shut up. Because of fear that other people will hear this and will be in trouble again. Huang Bi Lin hurriedly turned to look in the large room and saw many unknown people sitting there, so he stopped talking.
Until the judge sat on the bench and called the case. The first case is someone else's case. So they didn't really care. The second case is still not the case. They didn't know when Lian Aiqing's case would start. They had been listening to general verdicts until the fifth case.
After the fifth case was decided The official informed them of Lian Aiqing's case. Another officer brought Lian Aiqing into the room. When Huang Bi Lin saw her mother, she was about to shout out but was silenced by Huang Hainan. He says this is not the place for her to be loud. Huang Bilin saw her father and uncle's wide-eyed expressions and hurriedly behaved well. They then listened intently to the official's statement and waited for the verdict. The official describes the case from beginning to end. Including all witness examination and medical evidence being submitted to the judge for consideration.
The judge examined the documentary evidence and asked about the witnesses whether they were clearly verified or not. Authorities confirmed that they questioned several witnesses in Qingtai District. Everyone spoke in agreement about the events that happened that day and the injuries of the victim, Huang Bailan. The officer also added information that the injured person's medical expenses were paid by him or herself. The perpetrator refused to pay even a single yuan for his treatment.
Lian Aiqing, listening to the officials' words, made her want to argue. But she was told not to speak blindly unless asked by the judge. Otherwise there will be additional punishment. So she just stood there silently.
The judge listened to the official and called out Lian Aiqing's name and asked.
"Lian Aiqing. Do you admit to committing the said crime?"
"I don't accept it, sir. That day, I just disciplined that girl like I always do. But he bragged and deceived everyone that he was seriously hurt. A person with a thick skin like this won't kill you if you hit it a little bit. Besides, it's just a useless person. Why do you have to pay medical fees to people like him?" Lian Aiqing still thought that he was not at fault as usual. The more she saw them sitting when she walked in, the more she hated them.
"Oh, so this is the behavior you've always had with this child?"
"Yes sir, this brat is lazy. If you tell me to do something, I won't do it. The elders naturally have to teach."
"Well, you admit to harming a child under 15 years of age, causing serious injury. and the reporter charged him with attempted murder. From available witnesses and evidence I sentenced Mr. Lian Aiqing to be imprisoned for 6 years, and the family must compensate the other party 1,000 yuan for damages and medical expenses. If he does not pay, the prison sentence will be increased to 10 years. The officer took him away."
