Marvel’s Princess Chapter 44: Lawyer

Lao Qiao's daughter was also listening. When she heard her father say that she had no job and no source of income, she couldn't help but wipe away her tears.

Here again the cultural differences between East and West appear.

Oriental women have a job and achieving economic independence is the mainstream value consciousness.

But it’s different in the West. There are so many housewives here! It is unimaginable in the East!

Happy education aside, even women with higher education and even those who graduated from prestigious universities still choose to go home and be 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 has hands and feet, no disasters and no illness, but she stays at home, washes clothes and takes care of her children every day. This is also a common situation here, and Bella has no position to go there. Blame the other person.

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. Let’s do it.”

The old man was also very interested in this topic. 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 are doing is cheating, relying on your pensions to delay little by little.

The bank was screwed. It used a lot of professional terms 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’s whole family has to rely on his pension to survive. What savings can he have?

Listening to what the other party said, there are no risks, high returns, high-quality projects, and there is no national policy support. The 80-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 left Old Joe's house with a sigh, and then went to the eighty-five-year-old Willie's house. No one was at home, so 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 Yaer was quite talkative, but his girlfriend was so prodding that he left after talking to them for ten minutes.

"Can I still find a girlfriend at the age of eighty-one?!"

Seeing the silver-haired grandma who seemed to be in her seventies holding the hand of the eighty-one-year-old Yal man sweetly, Bella was really shocked.

Natasha raised three fingers with a strange expression that you rarely see: "What's this? Old Yal has claimed on many occasions that he can have **** with his girlfriend three times every morning!"

Bella took another careful 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 was moving forward little by little, and his legs and feet couldn't move! 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!"

"May God bless you."

"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 full 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 compliments 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 and agility, and her understanding of fighting skills is frightening. Bella helps. , they 'persuaded' several high school students with just three punches and two kicks.

After they completed the first day of social investigation, there were thirteen more younger brothers around them.

Processing demonstrations and prosecution are the three magic weapons of social practice at this stage.

Natasha volunteered to organize demonstrations, while Bella used the few contacts left behind by the previous air crash to try to go through legal procedures to seek a future guarantee for these veteran workers in the steel plant.

Even the most stubborn Texan must admit that New Yorkers are very good at litigating, and the lawyers sought in the airline crash incident 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 still enthusiastically recommended a lawyer for her.

After seeing the lawyer named Jerry Hogarth, Bella felt a little cheated.

This female lawyer looks too young. She has black hair, a skirt, and high heels. She is dressed meticulously, but judging from her face, she is not a few years 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 this kind of question, she would just brush it off casually. But seeing Bella's face, she 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. Those old people you mentioned will be punished by the bank. As a person, I regret the repossession of the house, 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 could not 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."
