Chapter 201: Those Who Carry Firewood for the Masses Must Not Be Allowed to Freeze to Death in the Wind and Snow

What exactly is Legal Aid? Legal professionals have always interpreted legal provisions literally.

Therefore, Legal Aid means defending one's own legal rights.

In other words, these are rights that one should have had in the first place!

However, due to one reason or another, you are forced to seek Legal Aid.

And now, there are people who say, when you seek Legal Aid, that you are making a mountain out of a molehill, that you are looking for trouble where there is none.

Especially that core argument: why go to Dreamland if you have no money? Since you are a poor wretch, why not just stay away?

Honestly, for a veteran Keyboard Warrior like Pusa Xiong, he could tell at a glance that such talk was not right.

Truth be told, there are many morons on the internet, but it makes no sense for them to be speaking up for others in this situation.

It sounds as if, according to them, higher prices only serve to highlight the noble status of these people.

After all, they don't care about this bit of money; if you can't afford it, who can you blame for being poor? Why the hell are you even coming to play if you have no money?

Look at that; if there weren't an Internet Water Army steering the narrative here, he, Pusa Xiong, would be willing to accept that incredibly broad-minded neighbor girl!

If this were in the past, once this narrative was steered, it would be a one-stop service of Human Flesh Search and Cyber Violence in minutes.

It is just a pity that the warning from the past still stands; those friends have only just started singing Iron Window Tears, so it seems not very good for them to be so impatient to follow suit.

After all, hasn't someone said before that our country's judicial resources are not that abundant, and we should save them when we can?

But the lack of Human Flesh Search does not mean they cannot insult people.

Anyway, they just say that those who filed the Lawsuit have something wrong with them.

But in the end, under such circumstances, the heat of the incident began to climb, slowly crawling onto the trending searches.

"Dreamland sued" hit the trending searches, and slowly, some relatively normal comments finally appeared.

"I've been to Dreamland before, and my family didn't know we couldn't bring food at the time. We ended up buying a bunch and had to eat it all outside; I will never forget that feeling for the rest of my life."

"So I think it's a Bully Clause. Since restaurants prohibiting outside food and drinks is a Bully Clause, why can Dreamland do it?"

Indeed, by what right do they do it?

Don't talk to me about sellers having freedom and willingness; if everything were normal, then what would we need the Consumer Rights Protection Law for?

It is precisely because in a transaction, the consumer is in a disadvantaged position, so there must be corresponding laws to regulate it!

It was another beautiful morning, still at the entrance of Dreamland, and Xiao Liu was still standing guard there, while the people in the distance had already formed a long line.

There was no expression on Xiao Liu's face; this was a situation he encountered every day, especially during holidays.

Just then, a colleague beside him suddenly said, "Hey Xiao Liu, have you seen that news?"

"What news?"

"The news about our Dreamland Company being sued! Didn't you see it? It seems like someone who was stopped while trying to bring food in earlier turned around and took it to court. It's causing quite a stir now!"

Is that so? It wasn't officially open yet, so Xiao Liu picked up his phone to search, and he found the report very quickly!

Someone really did file a Lawsuit against the Company. Looking at some of the screenshots inside, wait, these seem to be those same people from that day!

Xiao Liu remembered them, mainly because those people were a bit special, especially that man who was a bit bald; those eyes left a particularly deep impression.

He didn't expect them to actually file a Lawsuit, and the one guarding the gate in the video was him, Xiao Liu...

"What's going on? How dare you play on your phone now? Put it away!" Lu walked over, scolding him with a dark face.

Xiao Liu hurriedly said, "Lu, those people from the other day, you remember them, right? They filed a Lawsuit against our Company!"

Huh? Lu's expression also changed. He couldn't care about anything else and took the phone to start watching. Sure enough, although there was a Mosaic, one could still tell from the screenshots that the one guarding the gate was Xiao Liu.

"What should we do, Lu? Look at this, it's even on the news now," Xiao Liu said, feeling a bit anxious.

"It's fine, it's fine. Our Company is so large, it's no big deal. You don't need to worry," Lu said, forcibly wiping away his sweat.

Come to think of it, they certainly weren't responsible; they were just enforcing the regulations. But if this matter blew up, there was no need to think about it—Xiao Liu, and he, Lu, would definitely be fired.

But he couldn't figure out why those people really sued the Company. Lu's heart still echoed with the previous question: what were they after?

At the same time, Lao Song, who was on duty, also heard from a colleague that the people he encountered when he responded to the call that day had really filed a Lawsuit.

"In all my years of responding to calls, I've given countless suggestions to take the legal route, but this is the first time I've encountered someone who actually filed a Lawsuit!" Lao Song sighed.

He now had the same thought as Lao Li, the veteran neighborhood police officer of Yuefu Street: if everyone were this reasonable and actually took the legal route when they said they would, their work would be much easier.

Meanwhile, in Modu, inside a not-so-great hotel, Yan Jianhong saw this report.

He was just an ordinary teacher who had told his child before that as long as the child got first place, he would take the child to play at Dreamland.

Then the child did get first place, but his wife didn't want to take the child there, saying it was too expensive and that they should just buy the child something else instead.

But Yan Jianhong didn't want to. He felt that from the moment a child starts to remember things, as parents, they must be especially careful, especially regarding promises—they must be kept!

Because children are very sensitive; if you don't keep your promise, they might remember it for a lifetime!

So this time, no matter how much it cost, Yan Jianhong was going to take his child to play.

Of course, playing is one thing, but on this trip, Yan Jianhong was also teaching his son that money that shouldn't be spent should still be saved.

That was why they had the experience of their whole family wolfing down food outside.

Regarding the prohibition of bringing food into the park, Yan Jianhong himself was also particularly repulsed, because he also had many questions he wanted to ask!

For example, by what right?

It was just that he had a whole family behind him, so he could only be dissatisfied in his heart; on the surface, since they didn't allow it, they just ate it.

Then he saw this report, so he followed the report to find the video posted on Bilibili.

"Is there any difference between food and food..."

To say nothing else, this one title alone immediately attracted Yan Jianhong.

Because the security guard's reason at the gate that day was that if they brought food inside, it would ruin the environment of Dreamland.

But there was food sold inside; was there any difference between what was sold inside and what was brought from outside?

Looking further down, unsurprisingly, he saw the familiar scene from that day—it was those people, and they really had filed a Lawsuit!

Listening to Zhou Yi's voiceover, Yan Jianhong really felt like it spoke to his own heart, and he couldn't help but shout out loud, "Good!"

"Why are you shouting randomly?" the wife on the side couldn't help but complain.

She felt that everything about this outing was bad, complaining about this and then that.

"Someone has done what I wanted to do but failed to," Yan Jianhong said, looking at the world outside.

Looking at Weibo again, it was truly a chaotic dance of demons, making it impossible for you to tell for a moment what everyone's actual thoughts were.

Yan Jianhong felt he should do something; a person cannot, or at least should not...

As a Chinese teacher, Yan Jianhong still had a few tricks up his sleeve, and soon, an article titled "Those who carry firewood for the masses must not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow!" was produced.

Yan Jianhong had never been as excited as he was this time; he truly couldn't manage a Lawsuit or anything, but writing something was still possible.

"I am the man in the video eating outside Dreamland with my family. Seeing everyone discussing this so intensely, and even starting to mock those who take the initiative to speak out, I want to talk about my perspective."

"That is, we may not be the ones to speak out, but we cannot mock those who dare to speak out."

If the sky is always dark, then live in the darkness; if making a sound is dangerous, then remain silent; if you feel unable to shine, then crouch in the corner.

But do not defend the darkness just because you have grown accustomed to it,

do not be proud of your own cowardice, and do not mock those who are braver and more passionate than yourself.

This was Yan Jianhong quoting a well-known figure to conclude; in plain language, it means you have knelt for so long that you are used to it, but please do not mock those who are trying hard to stand up!

At home, Pusa Xiong was already trying hard to fight back; the things those people were saying were truly infuriating.

But no matter how he thought about it, at most he could only be sarcastic, with countless thoughts in his head, yet he was unable to write a single sentence.

So Pusa Xiong could only browse the internet randomly, and as he flipped through, he saw an article.

This article wasn't long—it was Weibo, after all, so it couldn't be too long—but after reading the content, Pusa Xiong instantly felt his soul leave his body!

He felt that this person named "Teacher Yan" had written an article that directly expressed everything he wanted to say in his heart!

Most importantly, the entire text didn't have a single dirty word, but after finishing it, one felt as if they were scolding people—scolding those who knelt themselves but mocked those trying to stand up.

It was just like the words of that "Zixing Yaoyue" big shot he saw in the comment section last time.

In his excitement, Pusa Xiong wrote his reply in the comments again: "Me too!"

There was no other way; damn it, online scolding had started to involve involution, and the Keyboard Warrior profession wasn't easy to do anymore.

You look at how others scold people, then look at yourself, repeating the same old insults about the other party's female relatives; the difference in quality was immediately clear!

He felt he needed to find a place to pursue further studies...

When Yan Jianhong's article was first posted, it actually didn't have much heat; after all, his account was just a personal one, usually only posting about his own trivial matters.

Except for guys as bored as Pusa Xiong, probably no one would specifically look for similar remarks.

But now it was different; after Pusa Xiong's "Me too," he reposted this article to Bilibili and incidentally recommended it to the audience lords of A Yi in the comment section.

Consequently, this group of audience lords, cultivated by a certain Up Master to be incomparably pedantic, were all shocked!

This article, holy crap!

Without needing to say anything, everyone spontaneously went to Weibo to start boosting the heat of this article, and Yuan Jie also sent this article to Zhou Yi at the same time.

Zhou Yi saw the article and sighed lightly; he now realized why the system had given the task!

This time's pedantry was different from the previous ones; the previous pedantry was mostly aimed at individuals.

For those who were unreasonable and filled with "Go sue wherever you want," it was just a matter of filing a Lawsuit.

It was just that later, the system no longer triggered tasks for related events, so Zhou Yi had thought the system was probably dead.

But this time, if the pedantry succeeded, it could truly reverse and change an inherent situation.

Before it was small pedantry; now, it is big pedantry!

So Zhou Yi sent the article to Fang Dazhuang, sent it to Zhou Xinran, and incidentally... posted it on his own feed.

And he attached his own words at the end, asking everyone to go to Weibo and boost it.

Of course, Zhou Yi also called his friend.

The current Weibo is no longer what it used to be; here, it is a battlefield of capital, and gaining heat out of thin air is impossible!

Zhou Yi's previous videos could dominate, but that was the result of multiple factors; this time, however, it was different.

Therefore, the system's funds finally found a place to be useful...

Sigh, Zhou Mouren had no choice; otherwise, with so many virtual funds, one couldn't just keep them to "give birth to children."

"So brother, you just want the heat of that article to rise again, no other requirements? Deleting posts or attacks or anything?" the friend on the other side was very surprised.

"No need, I just need this article to have heat!"

"Then how much heat do you need? Let me tell you, brother, the price points are different, and the heat is different; specifically..."

"Do as much heat as you can, money is not an issue!"

The person on the other side was choked up, and it took a long time to react: "Big shot, I'll listen to everything you say; whatever you say goes!"

…………

For students of the University of Political Science and Law, filing a Lawsuit is actually easy; everyone is a professional, and for them, this is just a legal practice.

But no one expected that this legal practice would cause such a big stir; overnight, it seemed like everyone was scolding them.

Thinking they were just looking for trouble, clearly not seeing things clearly themselves, yet turning around and blaming others!

This feeling was very hurtful, because in the Litigation they initiated, the main demand was for the Court to confirm that the relevant Standard Clause of "prohibiting bringing food into the park" was invalid.

And if the Lawsuit were truly successful, it would be a good thing for everyone coming to play at Dreamland; everyone could bring in cheap food bought outside.

Instead of only being able to spend high prices to buy food inside the park.

But now, they were being scolded by people.

They wanted to refute, but they were just students, their words were weak, and what they posted was like water in the ocean, unable to stir up even a ripple.

So at this moment, this article appeared out of nowhere!

Unsurprisingly, it caused many people to think.

With this chapter, I pay tribute to those who have initiated many Public Interest Litigation cases for the rights of the public. Everyone can actually go and check; many times, changes are due to certain classic cases. In the past, many shops would prohibit people from bringing their own drinks; how many still do now? The road is walked one step at a time, and this is another core idea of this book.

Thanks to Leshan Wuxin, Wuwo Liangwang, Nuli Shaonü Yingyingying, Xihuan Xiaojiu, Yinuo Qingcheng, Huihui, Wuwen Changgong, Shi Maoguai O, Zhuzi, Shuyou 2019, and Yiwu Tuzei; thank you to these brothers for their tips, thank you, there will be another chapter later.
