Chapter 44 Lawyer

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

Here again there are cultural differences between the East and the West.

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

But the West is different, there are so many housewives here! It is unimaginable in the East!

Not to mention the matter of happy education, even if they are highly educated, even after graduating from a prestigious university, a large number of people choose to get married and go home to be housewives.

Men earn money to support their families, while women manage housework and take care of children. It seems to be a matter of course here.

Right now, this 80-year-old man went out to rob, and the middle-aged woman had hands and feet, no disaster or disease, but stayed at home, washing clothes every day, and sending children.

She wasn't going to talk nonsense on the issue of women's rights, it would be too far away, she comforted Old Joe.

"You calm down, anger can't solve the problem, we can resort to the law, I will consult a lawyer later on the pension issue... Let's talk about the West Bank of America asking you to buy wealth management products. "

The old man was also very interested in this topic, and he began to talk endlessly about how the bank staff tricked him into buying wealth management products, and then lost all the principal, and even took his house to offset the account.

The old man burst into tears, and Bella was a little uncomfortable.

What that steel mill and Stark Industries are doing is shaming, relying on your pensions, and dragging on a little bit.

The bank is fucked up, using a lot of technical terms to confuse the old man, and let him buy wealth management products while he is 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 and the whole family have to rely on his pension to make ends meet. What kind of savings can he have?

Listening to the other party's hype, no risk, high rate of return, high-quality projects, and what national policy support is there, an 80-year-old man has long been out of touch with the times, how can he distinguish it?

Lao Qiao and many of his co-workers used their houses as collateral, and then bought financial products that the bank staff would not buy themselves.

......

Bella and Natasha left old Joe's house with a sigh, and then went to old Willie's, eighty-five years old. There was no one at home, and when I asked about it, I found out that the old man was admitted to the hospital because of kidney failure and is now on a ventilator.

The remaining 81-year-old old Yar was quite talkative, but his girlfriend urged him so hard that he said goodbye to them for ten minutes and left.

"You can still find a girlfriend at the age of 81?!"

Seeing the silver-haired grandmother who seemed to be in her 70s sweetly holding the hand of the 81-year-old Yar old man, Bella was really shocked.

Natasha raised three fingers, an expression that you rarely see strange: "What's the matter? Old Yale has claimed on many occasions that every morning, he can have sex with his girlfriend three times!"

Bella took a second look at the old man Ya'er again. This one is not easy to walk. For a distance of more than ten meters, he walked in small steps for a long time, rubbed forward a little bit, and he couldn't move his legs and feet! Can such a body do three times in the morning? I don't understand you old Americans very well!

"You are really good people!"

"May God bless you."

"Good boy, there are so few enthusiastic people like you now!"

Bella and Natasha again asked seven or eight elderly people who had the same experience. After they expressed their willingness to help the elderly seek justice, they received a lot of praise.

These things are useless to Natasha, that is, to make herself happy after listening to them, but they are of great use to Bella!

The praises of the old people are sincere, and her enthusiasm has risen a lot in an instant.

Now that she was able to receive praise, she immediately adjusted her original plan.

In the evening, the two deliberately found fault and fought with two other groups of high school students who were also conducting social investigations.

Natasha's so-called 'slight knowledge' of karate is still reliable. Although it is still limited to the level of ordinary people, she has sufficient strength and agility, and her understanding of fighting skills is even more frightening. With just two punches, several high school students were 'convinced'.

After they completed the social survey on the first day, there were thirteen younger brothers by their side.

Demonstrations and prosecutions are the three magic weapons of social practice at this stage.

Natasha volunteered to organize demonstrations, while Bella used the little connections left by the previous air crash to try to go through legal procedures to seek a future guarantee for these old steel workers.

Even the most stubborn Texans have to admit that New Yorkers are good at litigating, and the lawyer they sought in the plane crash came from New York.

Bella called the law firm that was in charge of the current 180 air crash. After the other party knew that she could not pay much legal fees, she still enthusiastically recommended a lawyer for her.

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

The female lawyer looked too young, with black hair, a skirt, and high heels. She was dressed meticulously, but looking at her face, she was not even a few years older than Bella.

There is no personal assistant, and even the title on the business card is a lawyer, not a partner of a law firm. This female lawyer is obviously just graduated from school.

Jerry Hogarth accepted the commission to sue the steel mills and Stark Industries for the suspension of pensions, but he was a little embarrassed about the old people who bought wealth management products and lost their fortunes.

"Miss Swan, I understand your original intention, but from a legal point of view, buying financial products is risky, and there is no suspected illegal content in it."

Bella didn't study law. The laws here are different from state to state, so she didn't know whether it was illegal or not.

"Isn't there any fraud involved?" she asked.

Jerry Hogarth shook his head and chuckled. If someone asked her such a question, she would just casually perfunctory, but seeing Bella's face, she still told her the difference patiently and meticulously.

"If the signatory is sane and has not been coerced, concealed or deceived, then the investment agreement signed under this circumstance has a legal basis, and the investment is risky. The old people you mentioned will be taken away by the bank. , as a person I regret it, but as a lawyer I don't recommend spending a lot of energy on it."

Bella scratched her head, the female lawyer spoke clearly, and she wasn't someone who couldn't be persuaded.

According to her original intention, it is best to block the way for the elderly to buy financial products. With such an old age, what kind of financial management is there! But financial management is the mainstream here, and she couldn't think of anything to refute.

"Well, let's focus on the distribution of pensions first. How should we do it specifically?"

Jerry Hogarth thought for a moment: "Do you know about common prosecution? Find as many victims as possible and take the path of common prosecution."
