Chapter 587: So, She Wanted to Learn Sewing Techniques!

~25 min read 4,829 words

Deng Jiafeng's family was also eating.

It was just that for her daughter-in-law, Lu Yan, this meal didn't feel very comfortable, because from the moment she sat down, Deng Jiafeng had been beating around the bush, prying about the Bride Price and whether the dowry had been brought over.

Although we generally say that after marriage, neither the husband's parents nor the wife's parents should interfere too much in the couple's life.

However, while that is said, there are always many parents who cannot help but want to manage things; before marriage, they only managed their own children, so there was nothing to be said about that.

But after marriage, wanting to manage both of them, the conflict gradually appeared.

At the very least, Lu Yan really didn't want to continue sitting there listening to the other party say these things, but hindered by the face of having just married in, it was difficult to just leave.

"Little Lu, Mom isn't saying anything about the money, Mom doesn't even want to talk about money usually, it's mainly that you two are young, and I'm afraid you don't understand..."

Lu Yan finally couldn't help but say: "Mom, I've been working for two years now, I can manage money, please don't worry."

Deng Jiafeng was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting her daughter-in-law to actually talk back to her.

But she didn't know what to say for a moment, so she just let out an 'um' and fell silent.

However, soon, accompanied by a knock on the door, the silence in the living room was broken.

"Who is it? Stop knocking!" Feng Jianhua said while going to open the door: "Who is this in the middle of the afternoon, stop knocking!"

The door was opened, and Feng Jianhua saw two familiar uniforms, as well as two familiar faces, and was instantly stunned.

"Comrades, you are... is something the matter?"

After asking the question, Feng Jianhua suddenly felt his heart start to pound wildly; it couldn't be, didn't that Pengpeng say that the Police Station's Mediation Agreement had no legal effect, so why were they here again?

However, Chen Li's next sentence directly caused Feng Jianhua to lose any remaining sense of wishful thinking.

"Hello, may I ask if Ms. Deng Jiafeng is at home?" Chen Li said.

Feng Jianhua's expression became quite nervous as he said: "Yes, she's home, but what is it, comrades, may I ask what you are looking for her for?"

Chen Li did not answer, only saying: "Then please have Ms. Deng come out and go to the station with us."

"Comrades, you have to tell me what you're looking for her for, right?"

Feng Jianhua was still planning to say something more, but Deng Jiafeng, who was eating, couldn't hold back: "Who is it, Old Feng? Why are you taking so long to open the door, dragging your feet like that."

While speaking, Deng Jiafeng walked out.

Immediately, the son and daughter-in-law who were eating also put down their bowls and chopsticks, came to the door as well, and then saw the two police officers.

"This is... aren't you the two police officers from the other day? Why are you here again? What's wrong, do I have some other issue?" Deng Jiafeng said upon seeing Chen Li and the other, her tone very poor.

She didn't think there was any issue right now, feeling it was nothing more than the fact that she hadn't executed that Mediation Agreement, so the people from the Police Station had come to ask a few questions.

In any case, Pengpeng had said that the Police Station's Mediation Agreement had no legal effect.

That wasn't all; yesterday, she had specifically spent a long time searching online—this lawyer website, that Q&A website—she had checked them all.

People had stated it very clearly, even citing regulations, saying that only a Court's Mediation Agreement had legal effect; apart from the Court, Mediation Agreements made by other agencies, departments, and social organizations had no legal effect.

For example, the ones we often see, the People's Mediation Committee, or the Police Station, etc.

Here was a problem: since it had no legal effect, if someone said they wouldn't comply, then they wouldn't comply, so why bother with mediation at all? Isn't that just taking off your pants to fart? You'd have to file a Lawsuit anyway.

That can't be said that way; under normal circumstances, some things are minor matters to begin with, and after letting everyone calm down, it's usually fine.

This is also a measure to save judicial resources; the Court is the final resort, and people who go to Court at the drop of a hat like Liangzai Zhou basically don't exist.

Therefore, Deng Jiafeng wasn't worried at all; no matter how big-shot you Police Station people are, can you just arrest someone for no reason?

Chen Li and the Old Wu beside her exchanged a look; honestly, they didn't know where this person's confidence came from.

That is why sometimes it is said that a little knowledge is more terrifying than being a Legal Blind...

Because in their hearts, they feel that their behavior has a legal basis: I haven't broken the law, I am very confident, and I am even going to argue with you.

Old Wu spoke up: "Ms. Deng, there is a matter now, please come back to the station with us."

Old Wu's words were still quite polite; although because of this matter, even their superiors had dark faces, at the end of the day, it was just an Administrative Detention, and it didn't even reach the maximum penalty.

Therefore, there was no need to be too intense, just speak properly.

However, Deng Jiafeng here was immediately unhappy upon hearing this, roaring: "Back to the station again, huh? Ah, do you think I'm easy to bully?"

"I'm telling you, you have to explain this clearly to me today; why should I go back to the station with you? What's wrong, can you police just arrest people whenever you want?"

This voice was so loud that the hallway was ringing with it.

Soon, the neighbors across the hall, as well as neighbors from upstairs and downstairs, all gathered around; everyone was eating at this time, and hearing the noise, they thought there was a fight and wanted to come out to watch the excitement.

Watching the excitement, after all, is something many people like.

As it turned out, it wasn't a fight, but rather the police had come to Deng Jiafeng's home again.

Facing Deng Jiafeng's shouting, Old Wu looked around and still said: "That, Ms. Deng, we are taking you back to the station, there is definitely a reason, but look at how many people are here, why don't we go inside and talk..."

Old Wu's words were interrupted by Deng Jiafeng before he could finish.

"Go inside? Don't, it sounds like you think I've really committed some crime. Come, come, come, let's talk right here; I really don't believe it. What's wrong, if I don't fulfill your Police Station's Mediation Agreement, can you actually arrest me?"

"Don't think everyone is a Legal Blind; I'm telling you, I've specifically consulted a Lawyer, and they all say the Police Station's Mediation Agreement has no legal effect!"

"So if you don't give me a one-two-three today, I'm telling you this isn't over; I'm going to report you. Can you just arrest people randomly because you're wearing those uniforms?"

Originally, Deng Jiafeng hadn't been this bold, but with so many neighbors watching, she felt she couldn't lose face.

Moreover, there were so many people here, the police had to be cautious, right? These were all neighbors; they couldn't just take action in front of so many people.

Besides, I haven't committed any crime.

The surrounding neighbors began to discuss it; many of them had discussed it in the group chat and knew what Deng Jiafeng was saying, about how the Police Station's Mediation Agreement had no legal effect.

They didn't expect her to actually say it to their faces.

Seeing this scene, Chen Li looked at Old Wu, no longer hesitating, and directly took out a Notification Letter.

"Deng Jiafeng, you slandered and insulted others in a WeChat group of over a hundred people for an entire day, causing a malicious impact. Now, the Guangming Branch is legally placing you under Administrative Detention. This is the Administrative Detention Notice; please sign it after you have finished reading it and have no issues, then come with us."

Since it had reached this point, the procedures had already been cleared before they arrived; in the neighboring province, someone cursed for five minutes in a group and ended up being detained for ten days and fined three hundred yuan.

Originally, considering the warmth of law enforcement, we wanted to give you dignity, but your attitude is not dignified, so we have no choice.

Administrative Detention for ten days? And the Detention Notice has already been made?

Deng Jiafeng took the Notification Letter; it was written very clearly on it, but, but on what grounds!

"No, on what grounds are you detaining me? What did I do wrong? So what if I didn't execute your Mediation Agreement, I have to be detained? You are acting illegally, right? People on the internet all say your Mediation Agreement has no legal effect..."

Chen Li interrupted the other party directly: "Our Mediation Agreement may not have legal effect, but your own behavior has already violated the provisions of the Public Security Administration Punishments Law."

"The reason we didn't punish you before was based on the foundation of Mediation."

"Considering you needed to attend your son's wedding, a special circumstance, we specifically sought out Mr. Zhou and let him agree to Mediation as well, which is why you didn't have to be punished."

"But now, since you are unwilling to fulfill the Mediation Agreement, we must punish you according to the law. Do you understand?"

"You said you were in a rush to attend your child's wedding and that anything would be fine. This wedding is a joyous occasion, and we certainly didn't want you to miss it, so we went everywhere to communicate, finally allowing you to avoid punishment."

"But clearly, you still don't feel you were wrong for cursing people in the group chat."

Chen Li's explanation made the surrounding neighbors nod; if that was the case, then what they did was indeed perfectly fine.

Beside Deng Jiafeng, Feng Jianhua took the Administrative Detention Notice and hurriedly looked at it—ten days—his complexion immediately turned dejected.

The son and daughter-in-law also said nothing after reading it.

This matter was actually very clear by now; Deng Jiafeng was going to be detained because she cursed people in the group chat too viciously.

But standing from the perspective of relatives, they couldn't bring themselves to persuade the other party to accept the punishment, so they could only remain silent.

But clearly, Deng Jiafeng was acting as if she were possessed at this moment, simply refusing to believe she was in the wrong.

"People on the internet all say the other party can only go to the Court to file a Lawsuit; these are all stipulated by law. What, can you police just illegally arrest people?"

"And detaining me? I'm not leaving today, just try touching me!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Li's expression became very serious: "Deng Jiafeng, I advise you not to persist in your wrongdoings. You are now being given a Warning; please cooperate with our work!"

"I've been given a Warning, what else can you do besides giving warnings... Ah, the police are hitting people! Feng Jianhua, hurry up and film it, post it online!"

Before that last sentence was even finished, Chen Li and Lao Wu rushed forward directly, intending to take Deng Jiafeng away by force.

And incidentally, put the Silver Bracelets on her first.

However, Deng Jiafeng didn't know what she was thinking this time and started resisting directly.

With this resistance, Chen Li and the other officer could only use greater force to stop her, which was also in accordance with management regulations. If you don't resist, you'll definitely be fine, but if you resist, they will certainly have to use a higher level of disposal.

Feng Jianhua originally didn't want to film, but seeing his own wife being made to cry loudly by two police officers, looking quite pitiful, he started filming anyway.

Some neighbors nearby also started filming; to be honest, many people had never seen such a scene before.

Deng Jiafeng's struggling movements were too large, to the point that Chen Li, by one careless slip, was struck directly in the nose by a fist, immediately causing a nosebleed and making it feel as if stars were dancing before her eyes.

Seeing this, Lao Wu's face turned dark, and he immediately used force to restrain her; since it had reached this point, there was no need to worry about hurting the other party.

With one grappling move, he forcibly pinned Deng Jiafeng down, and only then did he manage to put the Silver Bracelets on her.

He also shouted: "Deng Jiafeng, I advise you not to make any more moves. Your current behavior is already suspected of assaulting an officer; don't move!"

Once the Silver Bracelets were on, Deng Jiafeng truly couldn't move, but her mouth remained stubborn, crying while saying these people hit her for no reason and that her arm was broken...

Chen Li pulled the other party up and looked around; Feng Jianhua was equally angry by now, after all, his wife was being "tossed about" like this.

Yes, everyone thinks the police should be gentle gentlemen, speaking and acting with a soft touch, all ignoring the fact that they are a violent apparatus.

Seeing this scene with one's own eyes, one would feel the police were too violent; no matter what, they shouldn't have used such heavy hands, so no matter what, it must have been a violation, right?

Therefore, Feng Jianhua said directly: "What, we can't even film now? Do I have to be arrested just for filming this?"

This was him being emotional, but Chen Li and her partner had been at the grassroots level for many years and had seen too many emotional people, so they didn't care at all.

She took out a tissue to roughly deal with the nosebleed and then said:

"Everyone, according to regulations, everyone is allowed to film on-site law enforcement, but, do not edit it randomly or take things out of context; otherwise, it is illegal, or even a crime. Do you understand?"

As she spoke, she tapped her own chest: "Look here, we also have a full record of the entire process."

Can police law enforcement be photographed or recorded? Certainly, this is a basic right of supervision granted by the Constitution, but, you cannot get too close to film, because it may be suspected of interfering with law enforcement.

Some people, when filming videos, can't wait to shove the Camera into the face of the law enforcement officer; this is definitely illegal.

Likewise, regarding things that are not allowed to be released, such as Criminal Case secrets, if you film them and put them online, that naturally won't do either.

So Chen Li needed to make it clear.

There's no helping it; there are currently too many things that confuse the public. Filming a video, then adding one's own voiceover before uploading, or maliciously editing the beginning and end—there is too much of this.

In order to attract attention, many people don't care about the law.

Having finished speaking, Chen Li didn't care about the reactions of the others and prepared to leave with Deng Jiafeng.

The Elevator door opened, and just as they were about to enter, they discovered a police officer walking out from inside.

The young police officer coming out of the Elevator probably didn't realize that after the door opened, it would be such a situation: two police officers and a woman wearing Handcuffs looking disheveled.

Among them, the female police officer even had bloodstains on her face, and there was a crowd of people in the hallway watching, with many holding phones and filming.

What is this for...

However, he still nodded to his two colleagues and then said: "Ahem, excuse me, may I ask who is Ms. Deng Jiafeng? Is she here?"

Suddenly, the entire hallway fell silent, or rather, everyone was a bit stunned right now.

Some people couldn't imagine even if they racked their brains what Deng Jiafeng had done; wasn't being detained enough, and now there was another police officer looking for her?

Deng Jiafeng herself had also sobered up a bit, and the look in her eyes when she saw that young police officer was off.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the young police officer thought no one had heard him, so he asked again.

At this, Feng Jianhua completely lost his temper; he stepped forward two paces, looked at the officer, and roared: "Are you people ever going to finish? Ah, you're not done, are you?"

"Is there anyone else? If there is, tell them to come quickly! Being detained for cursing a few times in a group chat is one thing, but now you're asking questions? What exactly do you want? Give me a straight answer!"

Seeing that Feng Jianhua seemed extremely agitated and was even about to go up and have a real-life brawl with the young officer, Chen Li hurriedly said: "Don't be agitated... Little brother, you are a bailiff, right?"

It was indeed Chen Li who saw the difference at a glance.

The poor bailiff had just stepped out of the Elevator and asked one question, only to be inexplicably sprayed with abuse; he was still standing there in a daze.

How is this "never-ending"? I'm just here to deliver a Summons.

Hearing Chen Li's words, the bailiff nodded and said: "This, what is going on here? Why is he saying that?"

Chen Li sighed upon hearing this and said, "The situation is quite complicated. In short, the person I'm dealing with here is Deng Jiafeng. She needs to be taken back now. Do you have any business?"

The young court police officer took some materials out of his bag and said, "I'm here to serve a Summons to Deng Jiafeng. The Defamation and Insult Case regarding Mr. Zhou Yi will be heard in court in five days..."

A Summons? A Defamation and Insult Case? A court hearing?

Feng Jianhua looked as if he had been stunned by a blow. Not only was she being taken away, but she had actually received a Summons from the Court?

Deng Jiafeng was even more dumbfounded, because the very thing she had just been saying was that the Police Station had no authority to manage this, and that if the other party had the ability, they should go file a Lawsuit.

As it turned out, she hadn't expected that the other party really did go file a Lawsuit, and the Summons had already been delivered!

He hurriedly stepped forward to take the stack of materials from the young court police officer's hand to look at them. Sure enough, it was indeed a Summons, and the name written on it was his wife's.

"Um... could Ms. Deng Jiafeng please sign the receipt... are you still able to sign?"

Chen Li looked at the Silver Bracelets on Deng Jiafeng's wrists and then said, "She can sign, but she probably won't be able to attend in person when the time comes."

That was fine; a Civil Dispute itself did not require the person to attend in person; having an agent was enough.

Deng Jiafeng remained silent. She knew she should sign, but she also felt a surge of anger. Was that person truly sick? Not only did he call the police, but he specifically filed a Lawsuit?

Just then, Feng Jianhua's voice suddenly broke the silence.

"What is this Indictment asking for? Wasn't it only three thousand during the Mediation before? So it's doubled now, is that it?"

Deng Jiafeng turned her head back abruptly, her eyes filled with confusion.

Feng Jianhua held the Copy of the Complaint in front of Deng Jiafeng and said, "Look, it's six thousand. What does this mean? How can they just ask for money like this?"

Deng Jiafeng was no longer having it either. The Mediation Agreement had originally stated three thousand, so how could it become six thousand just because of a Lawsuit?

"Don't move. I told you not to move. Are you going to sign or not? If you don't sign, you're coming with us right now!" Chen Li warned from the side.

She actually didn't want to yell at all. At a time like this, why talk about six thousand or not? They probably really thought they were only going to be held for ten days of Detention.

What were they thinking? When she had punched her own nose into such a state, she had already completely said goodbye to the Detention Center.

Deng Jiafeng turned her head to look at Chen Li and said, "But, but how can they change it? Didn't your Mediation Agreement say clearly before that it was only three thousand yuan?"

Chen Li didn't speak. Lao Wu, standing to the side, said with a natural expression, "This has nothing to do with us. The Mediation Agreement made by our Police Station has no legal effect—those were your own words, right?"

That one sentence immediately made Deng Jiafeng shut her mouth. No matter how good she was at playing the rogue, she didn't know what to say at this moment.

A neighbor nearby almost laughed out loud.

You looked down on the Police Station's Mediation Agreement yourself, thought it had no effect, said you wouldn't comply, and said the Court was the real deal—well, then listen to the Court. We have no objections.

Lao Wu didn't care at all. He had worked at the grassroots level for so many years; his experience was too rich.

Seeing that the situation wasn't right, the young court police officer continued, "Ms. Deng, even if you don't sign, we will still hold the hearing as scheduled..."

The situation had to be informed. She wasn't someone who couldn't be found, but someone who was intentionally refusing to sign. In that case, there was no need for the subsequent methods of service; whether she went or not didn't matter, a judgment could be made in absentia.

Once the judgment was made, it could be enforced through Compulsory Execution when the time came. If there was money in the account, it could be deducted. It was that simple.

Why do we say that the right to Litigation is a basic right? It is precisely because of this. You intentionally refuse to participate in the court hearing, thinking you are resisting or expressing dissatisfaction.

In reality, it's just like those people who handed in blank papers during the college entrance exam...

Because you are abandoning one of your own basic rights. Not going means the other party can say whatever they want in court.

Finally, under the persuasion of the young court police officer, Deng Jiafeng gritted her teeth and signed.

With the receipt, the young court police officer left satisfied, and Chen Li immediately took Deng Jiafeng back to the Police Station.

No matter how unwilling she was to go, it was useless. The Silver Bracelets were already on; at this point, it was out of her hands.

Deng Jiafeng was taken away, and the neighbors present didn't know what to say, so they naturally dispersed.

But one thing was certain: Deng Jiafeng had become a laughingstock in everyone's eyes. To put it more elegantly, she had suffered a double loss.

The three thousand had turned into six thousand, and judging by the police's attitude, it seemed there would also be Detention and fines.

Feng Jianhua's face was terrifyingly dark. His son hesitated for a moment at his side before asking, "Dad, what do we do now?"

Feng Jianhua roared, "What can we do? What can we do? Call that... that Liu Zhipeng from your second aunt's house. Ask him what kind of advice he gave! Isn't he a law student? How did it end up with people being taken away!"

So it actually had something to do with Liu Zhipeng from the second aunt's house...

The son took out his phone and dialed the number.

"Hey Pengpeng, uh, it's Jiannan. There's just a matter..."

Before he could finish, Feng Jianhua took the phone from the side and said, "Pengpeng, I'm your uncle-in-law. I'm asking you now, what kind of advice did you give your aunt earlier?"

In the Guangming District Court cafeteria, Liu Zhipeng, who had just finished eating and was preparing to rest for a while, looked at his colleagues nearby, then walked to the side and said, "Uncle-in-law, this... what happened?"

The advice he gave? He hadn't given any advice; he just said that the Police Station's Mediation had no legal effect. That was a provision written in the law.

Liu Zhipeng couldn't understand, but Feng Jianhua's voice on the phone was already very loud.

"What happened? Your aunt was taken away by the police today, that's what happened! The police said she is going to be under Administrative Detention for ten days, do you know that? Aren't you a law student? How did you mess this up!"

Liu Zhipeng was stunned. His aunt had been taken away and was going to be under Administrative Detention?

"Uncle-in-law, I didn't know. I didn't know this matter involved Administrative Detention. Aunt didn't say anything when she called to ask..."

After all, Liu Zhipeng knew a little bit, and he immediately thought of the cause and effect.

"Don't give me any of that nonsense. If we hadn't asked you, everything would have been fine. Now it's a mess, she's been arrested, and the other party is even suing you!"

Clack! The phone hung up, leaving only a more confused Liu Zhipeng.

I took the initiative to provide you with consultation, and I did something wrong?

…………

At the Guangming Road Police Station, Zhou Yi was chatting with a police officer. It was said that the Guangming Branch also wanted to run a promotional media outlet and wanted to learn from him.

And after it was set up, they wanted him to help promote it more.

Zhou Yi said there was no problem with that; we're all on the same side.

Just as the conversation was heating up, the door of the Police Station was pushed open, and Chen Li and Lao Wu walked in with Deng Jiafeng.

"You brought her back? What happened, Lili? What's wrong with your nose? Did she hit you?"

And so, before they were even close, Zhou Yi heard the news: Chen Li had been hit by the other party while bringing her back; not only was her nose broken and bleeding a lot, but there were also scratch marks on her arm.

This news stunned even Zhou Yi; he truly did not know where these people got their confidence from, surely they couldn't all have cheats like him.

But even if he had a cheat, he would never attack law enforcement officers...

This is no longer a matter of going to the Detention Center; this is about going to the Detention House!

I was wondering why it wasn't working all this time; so it turns out they wanted to learn some sewing skills!

Furthermore, even if he were to grant forgiveness, it would already be useless; attacking police officers while they are enforcing the law on the front lines is no joke.

Sure enough, Lao Kang had already received the news and walked out of his office with a very grim expression.

"Lili, you go get an Injury Appraisal first; Lao Wu, you and that Xiao Liu take the person to the interrogation room first."

Deng Jiafeng still did not know the situation; she thought that she had merely accidentally bumped the other person's nose, so what if it bled, whose nose wouldn't bleed if bumped?

Consequently, she was taken to the interrogation room and then sat on the legendary Regret Chair.

You have to admit, this atmosphere and this environment are far more effective than just the Silver Bracelets!

Sitting there, Deng Jiafeng began to feel regret; would it have been better if she had just agreed to the Mediation in the first place?

Thinking this, she looked at the interrogator in front of her and hurriedly said, "Comrade, that comrade, I... can I agree to the Mediation now?"
