Too Bad I Take Things Seriously

After he was discovered.

Wan Zhongyuan’s face showed a hint of awkwardness.

He, like other old folks,

was indeed curious about the questions everyone asked just now.

He wanted to know the answers to these questions.

Although the trial of this case was very lengthy, it was incredibly engaging.

He believed.

It won’t be long before this major case becomes a nationwide sensation.

It might even make it to law students’ textbooks, deemed a classic case to study.

"Vice Dean, just right... I want to ask for some leave."

Looking at the slightly embarrassed person, Qin Mu spoke directly.

In the coming period...

He estimated that he would have to attend the trial every day, so he would have to skip work.

"Ahem, just go ahead, the case is more important."

Wan Zhongyuan coughed lightly and agreed without hesitation.

Now Qin Mu is a famous figure in their institute.

Many new elderly arrivals in the institute...

came because of Qin Mu.

Thanks to Qin Mu,

the business volume in their institute has increased significantly.

Qin Mu nodded.

After asking for leave, he headed straight back to the Mountain and Water Garden District.

After a quick wash,

he entered the study and started recording this episode’s video.

"Long time no see, everyone."

Facing the camera,

Qin Mu first greeted.

It’s been over two months since the last video update.

This case...

is more shocking than ever before.

It belongs to a massive criminal combination, involving various cases, featuring bizarre and peculiar crimes.

"This time’s case... I believe everyone is paying attention."

"I initially thought it was just a slightly small case, but it suddenly involved so many people."

"Due to the complexity of the case and the large number of people involved, and the lengthy trial period, I plan to break it down into several episodes to explain these charges."

"Today’s trial featured over ninety different charges."

"Among them, more than twenty charges have been discussed in previous videos, so I won’t cover them in this episode."

Looking at the camera, Qin Mu briefly explained the update plan.

A single video...

is evidently insufficient to cover these complex cases in full, requiring multiple episodes.

And the focus of today’s video...

is mainly to explain a few obscure charges that appeared today.

Such as the previous crimes of fraud, contract fraud, illegal mining, and abuse, etc.

Among them.

One defendant was accused by the prosecutor of long-term economic restriction, frequent verbal attacks, and violent abuse of his three-hundred-pound wife, constituting abuse.

Abuse, which is the most familiar form of domestic violence.

Legally,

there’s no specific domestic violence crime.

All domestic violence behaviors can be classified under abuse.

This refers to behavior that physically and mentally harms and persecutes family members living together, through beating, binding, starvation, restricting freedom, humiliating personality, refusing medical treatment, or forcing excessive labor, with severe consequences.

This charge...

is specifically aimed at family members.

The infringed party is the legal rights of family members in the family, mainly the rights of equality among family members.

Generally speaking.

There are four categories of family members.

Firstly, family members formed through marriage, i.e., husband and wife.

Secondly, family members arising from blood relations, including parents, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and grandparents, great-grandparents, maternal grandparents connected through direct blood relations.

Thirdly, family members formed through adoption, i.e., between adoptive parents and adopted children, which is a fictitious blood relationship.

Fourthly, family members based on reality, accumulated over time.

For instance, if someone is an elderly lone person without means of living, and a couple sees the situation and voluntarily takes them home, attempting something that absolutely does not constitute a legal obligation of support.

Once agreed upon support, the elderly person becomes a member of the couple’s family.

It is only when one targets these four kinds of people with behaviors like beating or verbal abuse that abuse may be constituted.

In other instances, it would constitute intentional injury or insult crimes.

This charge...

is usually a private prosecution, i.e., no charge, no according process.

Unless there is serious injury, disability, etc., caused to a family member, the police will not intervene.

At other times...

The police will not easily intervene in family disputes.

Moreover.

Abuse charges carry lighter sentencing than intentional injury charges.

Those guilty of this crime face imprisonment of less than two years, detention, or control.

If the victim suffers serious injury or death, the sentence ranges from more than two to less than seven years of imprisonment.

However...

"Besides physical assault and verbal insult to family members, restricting their economic freedom, not giving them money to spend, also constitutes abuse."

Looking at the camera.

Qin Mu smiled slightly and continued, "If your wife asks you to hand over all your money every month and only gives you a few bucks for pocket money, you can fully exploit legal weapons to defend your rights."

"This behavior on the part of the other person completely constitutes economic abuse, which falls under abuse."

"If the time is long enough, you can send them in!"

At this point.

Qin Mu suddenly paused, no longer speaking.

He just wanted to remind the majority of netizens that abuse charges not only refer to violent behaviors of male family members against female members but also include economic restrictions by female members on male members.

Abuse charges infringe on the right of family members to live equally.

And family finances belong to shared marital property, which both parties can freely dispose of.

"Alright, today’s video ends here."

Finally.

After explaining the abuse charges, Qin Mu finished recording and explaining the video.

Using material from today’s trial.

He edited it into a video and uploaded it to Little Station.

...

Study Law Alliance Forum.

With the update of Qin Mu’s video, the forum traffic experienced a small peak again.

Three major sections.

There appeared a lot of posts shouting "Wow!"

"What’s the meaning of the last charge explained by the uploader? I suspect the uploader is implying something about me."

"Hiss!! How does the uploader know I only get fifty bucks in pocket money a month? My wife told me ten bucks is the largest denomination, giving me five bills each month, deceiving me for a full five years!"

"Uploader, just directly report my ID card then."

"Don’t say things that harm unity, now the encouragement is for three or four children, the uploader encouraging breakups is just playing with fire!"

"Giving money to the wife and applying for pocket money is not a sign of loving the wife? Where are the fighters?"

"@Fighter, I really want to see how the uploader confronts these fighters!"

"..."

In the forum.

Netizens seemed to find a new topic, focusing on abuse charges.

What they’re interested in...

is not the filing and composition of abuse charges but having found a new "technique to get jailed."

All along.

They thought only the existence of violent behavior like beating could constitute domestic violence.

But after Qin Mu’s explanation...

they realized "domestic violence" actually divides into hard domestic violence and soft domestic violence.

Hard domestic violence refers to the behavior of causing certain physical harm outcomes to family members through assault or abuse.

Including beating, starvation, disability, and body-injuring behavior; detention, restriction on external communication, and personal freedom-restraining behavior; invasion behavior like spreading privacy, excluding, and neglecting related to psychological intrusion.

While soft violence...

refers to abnormal economic control and deprivation of property, etc., infringing behaviors.

That is, not giving money to the other family members.

Speaking of this...

Many people have an indescribable secret in their hearts, even having plans brewing.

Qin Mu is simply a guiding light.

Pointing out a clear path for them.

Of course.

They don’t really intend to send their wives to jail, but want this issue as leverage to get more pocket money.

"Negotiate! I’m going home to lay cards on the table tonight, the monthly pocket money must rise to 3000!"

"Three thousand only? If it’s not five thousand, don’t blame me for being heartless!"

"Wake up, your monthly salary is only three thousand, and you dare ask for five thousand? Is it the case of soft meal hard eating Cao Dahu?"

"I’m the tiger of the major crime squad, why need anyone to criticize my actions?!"

"Ahem, a weak question, do you... all have wives? Why am I twenty-five and still single without a girlfriend?"

"It’s normal, wait until thirty, the government distributes girlfriends uniformly; just hang in five more years, I got mine at thirty."

"Don’t deceive the newcomers, only those with a monthly salary above three thousand and paying five insurances and one subsidy can receive, not everyone can."

"..."

In the forum.

A frenzy was stirred up, with everyone making tough claims online.

Saying they will go back and lay cards on the table with their wives.

To strive for a higher level of treatment.

Otherwise, it will be a life or death struggle.

...

In Mountain and Water Garden District.

After washing up,

Qin Mu instinctively opened the forum and happened to see these netizens’ comments.
